Is an educated, Christian gentleman, who has
had large experiences IN dealing with the young.
Michigan's "big -Kalamazoo-the
largest Of any in the United States, has finally
decided to become incorporated as q city Cor
some OF its citizens have, ~ leest). and bill
has been introduced for its incorporation as
such. The proposition meets with great dis
favor, however, with large numbers of the
prominent citizens, and it isn't mt all certain
that the bill can pass.
The bill to settle the long-standing trouble
about those Port Huron and Lake Michigan
railroad lands in Muskegon county has a won
derfully familiar sound, and its face is like that
OF a familiar friend. Ii has been here before.
Representative Austin's bill to compel mutual
benefit life insurance companies 10 make re-
ports TO the Commissioners of Insurance, as
other life and fire insurance companies do, is n
good one and should pass. MIR. Austin is Pre- :
ident Of the Union Mutual Association, COM
pany Of the kind located at Battle Creek, and a
good one too, and "knows how il is himself"
With the Republican State Convention on
hand for Wednesday, at which a large share Of
the members OF both houses were delegates,
aud the Governors reception by the Detroit
Light Guards on Thursday evening, the Legis-
lature has found little time the past week for
any legislation. save the preparation and intro
ducton Of their bills but cork will be the order

In removing grease spots from carpets,
make lather Of hard soap; use only
cold, soft water and rub the soap from
the carpet with clean dampened cloth.
If you have screw rusted into wood,
or bolt that will not readily turn, pour
on 1t little kerosene, and let it remain.
In O little while il will penetrate the
interstices SO the screw can be easily
started.
NEVER set the lamp upon rcd table
cover; If you can not find time to make
a green lamp mat, put piece of green
cardboard under the lamp and you will
find the reflection upon your work much
more agreeable to the eyes than that
from the red cover.
The little boxes of thin wood which
are used to carry butter or lard in, when
covered with cambria or silk, make pretty
work boxes. Small peach baskets, paint
ed and lined with bright color, are
ornamental and convenient, besides
affording the satisfaction which comes
from making something from nothing.
To MAXI lavender water: Best English
oil OF lavender, four drachms; oil OF
cloves, halt a drachm; musk, five grains;
best spirits OF wine, six ounces. Mix
the oil of lavender with little of the
spirit first, then add the other ingredi-
ents, and let it stand, being kept well
corked for at the least two months before
it is used, shaking it frequently.
A LADY writes to a contemporary as
follows: A wing for brushing the smoke
from lamp chimneysand the cinders from
the burners is very convenient; they re-
move all the grease, and there will be no
drops standing upon the chimneys, like
water on O ducks back, and SO will need
no wiping, which is saving of time;
chimney, as you all know, needs so much
wiping after one commences. l wash
mine with soap, to remove al grease, in
the dish water; before 1 put in my
dishes rinse in the rinsing water and oil
is done. Soap never has made my Chin
neys brittle, perhaps it is because it il
removed quickly; never have found
that soap made glass brittle.
AMMONIA is very useful. It cleans
nicely. Dilute with water one-half, use
cloth same color, rub well, using sew
eral clean cloths if very much soiled. A
few drops in abath water, especially IL
hard water, is refreshing and purifying.
1t cleans glassware, silverware, windows,
paints and bottles beautifully and easily.
1t takes up the grease spots from the
floors. 1t is good for stimulast to
house, plants; one teaspoonful to one
gallon of water once week. Put few
drops in basin of water, wash your
hair brushes in it, and see what it is good
for. 1t is good for catarrhal cold, and
stings of insects. Inhale for colds, aud
apply to affected part in stings.

Saving by Headw'srk.

A great mathematician said il he had
but three minutes in which to perform a
problem on which his life depended he
would spend two or three minutes In
thinking how best to do it. So great did
he value the art of rejecting well over the
business to be done even in the greatest
emergencies of life. And could we not
all vastly better our work in this world
by more forethought? How much our
heads could save our feet in our daily
housework! One reason so many women
are such efficient workers is just because
Of their fixed habits. If they have occa-
sion to go up stairs they reflect whether
there is anything that needs to be taken
up, thus saving one or two journeys.
The same when they are going down
again. When the table is cleared, the
articles to be taken into the cellar are
placed all together on tray and taken
down at once. While the other work is
going on the busy mind runs through
and plans out the sewing-work that is to
be taken up when leisure time comes.
The way of cutting it out. The manner
of trimming, and the whole general plan
is gone through with before a needle is
taken up very likely. Before rising in
the morning the breakfast is thoroughly
planned, and the order in which the diff
ferent details are to be carried out is
quite decided upon. It makes all work
easier to have it thus planned before
hand, and many n weary woman might
secure many bright half-hours to herself
every week if she would but inaugurate
the system. 1t is like the packing q
trunk-you know how easy it is for one
skilled in the business to put in third
more than one who piles things in "just
as it happens" 1t is always such a
pleasure to look back on O well-packed
day and see just what has been done.
People whose days are full of idleness and
ease do not have the monopoly of happi-
ness by any means. AS uncomfortable
people as have known have been sum-
mer boarders from the city, who have
nothing to do all summer but to fan
themselves. They seemed so utterly
over-burdened with the task that one
could hardly help commiserating them.
Occasionally q few flies futtered into
their shaded rooms and had to be whisked
out, and then there was work In earnest
and tribulation enough. Surely those
people who have nothing else to bear are
rarely able to bear themselves From
what 1 have seen of both sides, over
worked people do not seem to me so mis-
cradle as those who have nothing to do.
They have at least the noble compensa-
ton of feeling that they are of use in the
world; that they add largely to the COM
fort and Well being of others, and belong
to the producers instead of mere con-
sumers. To one who has led busy life
absolute idleness would be the most irk-
some penance. But head work will
Tighten labor; so use it literally, and
teach the art to those about you.-

San Jose is very prolific in amateur
theatricals, and, although we do not
quite believe the story that they have
gotten SO now down there that they have
to dispose of the tickets for those enter
tainments by the aid of pistols and
masks, on dark nights, we can easily
credit that when the travelling agent of an
Eastern drug-house volunteered to pay
the hall-rent for one of their entertain
ments, the other night, they gladly ac-
cepted the offer. All he stipulated for
in return, the agent said, was q chance
to use the stage accessories, should the
opportunity present, with some few I'D
vertising references to the house he rep
resented. The play was "Romeo and
Juliet" and on the evening of the per-
Torrance the company was somewhat
Disguised to find that the agent had
caused the programmes to be printed In
such manner as to have the name OF
each character followed by an urgent
appeal to the public to buy or try at least
one box or bottle of some indispensable
preparation, thus:
Juliet Mrs. Alvira Giggles
Che love-lorn Juliet would have been
even more beautiful if she had used
Bolts Complexion Powders.)
Romeo Mr.. G. Jumper
(The impetuous lover wouldn't have
had to wear yellow wig if had used
eight or ten bottles of Bolts Hair
Helper,)
Tybalt Mr.. Hay Granger
(Not even the enormous pads worn by
amateurs nowadays will keep out
rheumatism unless care is taken to
rub in Bolts Skin Scalper.)
But they managed to choke down their
Indignation until the balcony scene. As
that interesting episode was well under
way, the deeply interested audience was
surprised at beholding an unusual move
ment on the part of the moon. Juliet
had Just attracted attention to it by the
line,
Swear not by the moon,
when that luminary turned solemnly
around and displayed on its neither side
the legend, in large black letters ''Try
Bolts Liver Pills Oh, try 'em |"
The rest of this all-too-sad story Is
soon told. Juliet burst into tears, and
Romeo swore like pirate walking the
plank. The audience had their money
returned at the door, and the show broke
up. The agent, however, paid the ex-
penses agreed upon like little man.
He said that he was sorry the entertain
ment hadn't been success somehow,
but he thought he had gotten the requi-
site amount of advertising. He was
satisfied. San Francisco Post.

Why Thieves Are So Skillful.

1t is common to speak of the skill and
exploits of thieves as remarkable. 1t is
more remarkable that thieves do not ac-
complish greater things than are record
ed of them. The thief simply follows
his trade, making himself as thoroughly
competent in it rs if he were learning
some other means of obtaining bread.
Those upon whom he preys are careless
and forgetful, while he is always watch
ing for an opportunity. Officers of the
law are paid when they make no arrests,
and there is little incentive to catch a
thief so that thieves, if they can guard
against the vigilance OF the property
owner, which is rarely exercised as it
should be, have an easy road to travel.
II is difficult to catch them it is diff
cult to prove their crimes they go to
prison but short time if they are con-
victed, and SO
Tie enterprsing burglar goes a-burgling.

A Brakeman's Experience.

A brakeman on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford road relates the fol-
lowing incident of his experiences:
"Another bad fright L had was ono
dreadful dark night, when we had just
got below Milford. We were rushing
along at forty-five miles an hour-it was

asudden felt the air brakes working and
she came to a standstill. There had been
three men killed within as many weeks
just before on our division, and said at
once to myself, We've hit another man.

Where Cattle Plaques Begin.

The great plaques that from time to
time have devastated the stables and pas
lures of Europe, sparing neither cattle
good or bad, have all had definite start
ing places, and these on investigation,
have proved that the diseases found their
origin in filth. Such plaques are always
to be feared. Bad food impoverishes the
blood of the stock, while the poisonous
emanations of the filth, which also has an
injurious effect when absorbed by the
physiques continually in contact with it,
complete the work, and the general dele
terious influences finally localize them
selves in some organ of the animals that
survive ut all. The causes of cattle
plaques are exactly analogous to those of
cholera and other human scourges, and
their effects. when they attain to conta-
gion or infection, are similarly unsparing
of ell with whom they come in contact.
Severer laws and moro alert officers are
necessary to the prevention of cattle
plague in this country.-Ncw York
Herald.

THE Akron (Ohio) Beacon reports the
following singular case: In our report
of the medical meeting held in this city
week ago, brief mention was made of
what might properly be called a human
phenomenon, or, as DIR. Pixley, of Penn
sylvania, termed it, curious freak of
nature" child Al years old, of healthy
parents and sound organization in every
respect, had from birth up to this time
showed an unequal development it its
two sides from head to foot. With
view of reporting the case to some med
ical journal, the doctor brought the boy
to this city Thursday to have him pho
tographed as well as to give the other
members of the profession an opportu-
nifty to make q careful examination of
the boy and exact measurements OF the
two sides. AS result of the COMPARE
son of the two sides it was found that
the left arm is Il inches longer than the
right ; left leg nearly inch longer than
the right; the circumference OF the lett
thigh q inches greater than that of the
right, and the left half of the chest II
inches greater than the right. The
little fellow has always enjoyed the best
of health, is bright and intelligent, and
has equally good control of the two sides
with q small majority of the strength in
the larger limbs. Medical literature
reveals nothing like it in the most i'm
portant particulars, though several cases
somewhat similar have been published.
In those cases, however. the cause was
apparent, being due either to disease
or injury of the person or of the parents
while in this there seems to be NJ salts
factory explanation of the anomaly.

CALIFORNIA may boast the biggest
lawsuit on record at present. There is
now pending in the Superior Court Of
San Francisco q suit on behalf of the
stockholders of the Consolidated Mining
Company against James G. Flood, John
w. Mackay, James G. Fair and the ex-
ecutors of the late William s. O'Brien
to recover $10,429, 608, the value of
stocks which it is claimed the defend
ants have illegally issued to themselves.
This, however, is only side issue in the
case, for there is another suit soon to be
brought to trial to recover $26, Ole, 900,
claimed to have been realized by the de-
PENDANTS in milling the ores Of the COM
pany under contracts which they made
with themselves while Trustees of the
company; and still another suit involves
Sc, 400, AGO for illegal profits realized in
refining and selling the bullion of the
company, and in furnishing lumber and
other supplies to the company, under
contracts made with themselves as Trus-
tees. The total amount involved in
these cases, known as the Bonanza suits,
is $40 944, 068-a sum worth itigating
about. As the defendants did not form
their ring to control this gigantic corpo-
ration until 1872, some idea of the i'm
mense profits of the concern per annum
may DO inferred.

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS, says a corre-
spondent who has known him for nearly
thirty years, can safely be said to be the
most extensive landowner in Central Il
linois, and his total wealth, at a fair es-
innate, can be placed at s., 600, 900. His
taxes amount to about S27, 600 yearly.
When he opened a law Office in Bloom
ington he possessed only few hundred
dollars. Feeling convinced that there
was a great future for the West, he in
vested all his money in land, the greater
portion of which he still holds. His
residence, which is one of the finest in
the State, is situated about mile from
the business portion. of Bloomington,
and is surrounded by well-laid-out
grounds, rich shade-trees, and tempting
drives. His sons house is about half a
mile distant. When ut home, Senator
Davis generally manages all of his i'm
mense real-estate business. He is q
hard worker, and no man in the State
goes to his post of duty at an earlier
hour or quits later.

FERNANDO WooD was a member OF the
Congress which appropriated $50, 600 in
aid of Prof. Morse's experimental tele-
graph line between Washington and
Baltimore. Mr.. Wood voted for the APP
preparation, and was, in consequence,
defeated in his next race for Congress
by the intelligent voters of his district,
who couldn't tolerate a representative
who would waste public money on such
a chimerical project as that of transmit
ting intelligence upon wires strung upon
poles.

FROM what is already known of the
new version of the New Testament it is
certain that in at least two places a word
hitherto familiar has given way to one
less used in common speech. Caperna-
UNI, according to the revised text OF
Luke, is brought down into Hades,
instead Of to hell, as hitherto while in
the same gospel it is said of the rich
man, in the parable of Lazarus, that Gin
Hades he lifted UP his eyes, being in tor
ments." Should this substitution prove
to be general, perhaps polite people, in
Guiding, of course, newspapers, will
henceforth feel obliged to spell the word,
when used outside of scripturl connec-
ton, as HIS.

CONGRESSMAN J. HYATT SMITH, the
Brooklyn pastor, says he could mention
the number in Broadway of merchant
who has been known to receive through
the Custom House packages of kid
gloves on which he was willing to pay
storage, but would not pay DUTY, the
discovery that the gloves were all for the
right hand being made the basis for the
declaration that they were not "goods. ="
Singularly this same merchant received
packages of kid gloves, all for the left
hand, through the custom officers on
the Canadian border, but on which he
refuses to pay duty for the same reason
as that he gives at the New York Custom
House. Strangely, too, he finds the
right-hand gloves of one package match
the left-hand gloves of the other. The
Brooklyn pastor should preach sermon
TO Congress from this text.

Correct Speech.

Correct speech is such an indisputa-
bic mark of a lady or gentleman that
it cannot be too often repeated that the
true standard of pronunciation is one in
which all marks of particular place of
birth and residence are lost, and in
which nothing appears to indicate any
habits of intercourse other than with the
well-bred and well-informed wherever
they may be found.
