Habits of the Goldfish.

A correspondent of the New York
Post says that the Goldfish frequents
"the tablelands of the sea-" The cod
fish no doubt does this to secure as
nearly as possible dry, bracing atmos-
phere. The pure air of the submarine
tablelands gives to the Goldfish that
breadth of chest and depth of lungs
which we have always noticed. The
glad, free smile of the Goldfish, is large
ly attributed TO the exhiliration of this
oceanic alitoodleum. The correspond
ent further SAYS that "the cod subsists
largely on the cherry" Those who
have not had the pleasure of seeing the
Goldfish climb the sea cherry-tree in
search of food, or clubbing the fruit
from the heavy-laden branches with
chunks of coral, have missed n very
fine sight. The Goldfish, when at home
rambling through the submarine forests,
does not wear his vests unbuttoned, as
he does while loafng around the gro

What IngOmar Doubted.
"Pass the pie

L ass the PIE
Ingomar McCloskey moved uneasily
in his rocco pants as these words fell
In soft cadences upon a medaillion-like
ear that projected out into the starry
night from head whose Grecian curves
would attract attention any where north
of La Porte. Greyhooded Night was
getting her hood on, and over in the
West, where day was dying, there were
huge banks of sombre clouds piled high
in the horizon. The day had been a
beautiful one, and now that the shadows
in the glen were frightening and the
birds were twittering in a sleepy fashion
amid the boughs of the locust trees,
Ingomar and Gladys Perkins were sit
ting silently on the back porch eating
apple pie.
Showing the plate silently over to her
side of the little rustic table which
separated them, the young man looked
steadily at Gladys for an instant, but
no word came from her bps. She saw
the look and comprehended its meaning
in an instant. e@ af ~
why do you doubt my love, dar-
ling?" she asks. "Why is it, after
have told you SO many, many times
toldyou with all the passionate earnest
ness Of woman's first and only love
that you are my idol, that your hopes
are my hopes, your fears my fears
have told you this with my arms around
your neck and my face close pressed to
yours-why is it. L asked, that you can
not believe me; that look of doubt is
ever on your facet"
Deeper still have grown the shadows
in the glen. The crickets have begun
to chirp in their noisy way, and the first
rays of moonlight that come down to
earth in silvery shower between the
leaves of the locust trees bring into
bold relief the haggard outlines of a
sawbuck that leans restfully against the
woodshed.
81 demand an answer" says the girl
in an imperious whoa-Emma way that
so well BELTS her. "Why do you doubt
my love?"
81 do not" answers Ingomar.
at is falsel" exclaims Gladys. II
can see the doubt in every line of your
features What else can it mean?"
Leaning over the table Ingomar
McCloskey looked steadily at Gladys
for an instant, and then, speaking in the
cold, cynical way he had learned in
Kenosha, he said al was doubling
whether the pie would hold OUT

THE LAUNDRY.

SAND-PAPRR is an excellent polisher
for hat-irons, and it removed all starch
and roughness.
ONE ounce of quick-lime dissolved in
water will soften two barrels of ordina-
ry hard water.
TO clean irons use lump of beeswax
tied in rag rub the irons with it when
hot, then scour with paper or cloth,
sprinkling with salt
"A STARCH that will make linen look as
good as new is made of one quart of
well-boiled corn starch, three ounces of
gum arabic, and two ounces of loaf
sugar.
SILK handkerchiefs washed in clear
water with pure white CASTLE soap look
like new. Do not iron, but snap be-
tween the fingers until almost dry, and
then press under weight. H -
WHITE blankets are washed nicely by
making good warm suds of common
brown soap, and, after rubbing well in
the suds, rinse in quite hot water. Rub
no soap on the blanket III left to soak
In the suds, add no water when ready
to wash.
To wash chamois skin vests or gloves
make thick suds of warm water and
white CASTLE soap; wash III the suds
and rinse in water containing little
soap. Do not rub the soap on the gar
ment. If stretched repeatedly while
drying it will look much better.
To prepare starch for use, take
quart basin and put into it teaspoon
full of the best starch, which, with
clean wooden spoon kept for that pur-
pose, gradually moisten and rub down
with a quarter of a pint of cold water,
adding only teaspoonful at a time.
When in perfectly smooth state, and
about the consistency of cream, gradual
ly stir into it about pint of boiling
water. Then pour the mixture into
clean glazed pipkin, kept for the pur-
pose, and stir it over a gentle fire until
it boils, adding lump of sugar which
prevents the starch from sticking to the
hot iron. While in boiling state take
piece of wax candle and turn it round
two or three times; this gives smooth
and glossy surface to the linen after it
has been ironed. Then strain the starch
thus prepared, through piece of coarse
muslin into q basin, cover it over with
a plate TO prevent skin forming on
the top and then before it is quite cold

How Western Cities Grow.

A Western man has been telling some
Philadelphians how Western cities
grow. He says he went off into the
mountains hunting, and, night coming
on, he went to sleep in tree to be ont
of reach of he wolves. He was awak-
ened early the next morning by some
workmen, who told him to get down
and finish his nap on the Court House
steps, as they wanted to turn that tree
into a fiagpole for the hotel across the
way. He got down and while rubbing
his eyes was nearly run over by street
car and got his feet tangled in an cleo
tric-light wire-Philddelphid Ne,cs.
