A PHILADELPHIA gentleman writes
that he and a friend stopped at Il small
cafe in the suburbs If Paris for re-
fresEn. nts. Their repast was a light
one, consisting of tea, toast, and eggs;
but the bill was heavy one, nine
francs in all. 'Garcon" exclaimed
one of the tourists, ''how's this?
Please explain "Well, you see,
Messieurs,'' apologies the waiter,
''two francs for the tea and toast and
seven francs for the eggs" ''Ah!
then eggs are very scarce about here?'

jealousy.

Some poet has said that "All tor
ments of the damned we find in only
thee, Oh Jealousy, thou tyrant of the
mind" This is grandly sweeping and
magnifcently inaccurate. Any suf-
ferer from Indigestion knows to the
contrary. Indigestion the villain of
the tragedy played among the gastric
juices Of the stomach can, and does
double discount the horrors of jeal-
ousy. Jealousy is often an attendant
upon the latter, and when Indigestion
is removed this jaundiced companion
of deranged liver flies. Taraxine is
the best known remedy extant for i'm
paired digestion, deranged liver, and
diseases of the bowels and kidneys.

Geraniurns in the Window.

1t is very rare to see a well-grown
geranium in window culture. Even il
the plants bloom fairly, they are often
drawn up, misshapen things, not pleas
ing to look upon. In the majority OF
cases, plants that have been sci out in
the garden for the summer, are allowed
to go as you please The roots find
ing an abundance of rich soil. the tops
grow off at famous rate At the APP
proach of cool weather the plants are
taken up as they stood; if any cutting
is done, it is at the roots, to bring them
within the limits of pot. and the
plants are placed in the window As a
consequence of such treatment, the ma
jority of the leaves fade and fall, and
show a lot of long, lanky stems with a
small tuft of leaves at the top. This
condition of the plants is due. either to
lack of knowledge or to timidity. ANA
teur cultivators, as a general thing,
seem to fear to use the knife could the
plant suffer pain they would not be
more reluctant to cut. The proper
method is to prepare the plants for TAX
ing in long before the time for lifting
them but it is too late to advise that,
as it is to suggest pruning them at the
time of taking them up. Even at this
late day it is better to cut back the gee
raniums to a good shape than to let
them remain as they are. Of course,
each plant will have its own needs In
this respect, and only general advice
can be given. Cut back the long stems
in such manner that the plant will
form low, rounded head, and remove
altogether such branches as will make
the head too much crowded. -AfaerScag

Lighthouse Terrors.

III those on shore are aWed by the
terrible violence of the winds and waves
during a tempest what must be the ex-
periences of men who live in a building
exposed TO the full fury of the heavy
ocean breakers When we look at a
lighthouse in calm weather, it is almost
impossible to realize that the sea some
times breaks over the lantern. Such is,
however. frequently the ease, and an in
stance of this occurred not long after
the completion of the Bishops Rock
Light, which is erected on rock be-
yond the Sicily Islands, far out in the
Atlantic. One of the builders told of a
heavy sea striking under the lantern
and carrying away the fog-bell, which
hung by a stout arm of iron nearly
three inches square A few years ago
the lighthouse keepers on this rock
were in a terrible predicament during a
hurricane, the violence of which was
described as being fearful. The light
house was struck by enormous waves in
quick succession, each causing a noise
like the discharge of cannon, and max
ing the massive stone building rock to
and fro, so that every article fell away
from its place. One fearful sea broke
the great lens in several pieces, and an
other smashed the cylinders of the
spare light, while sand from the bottom,
thirty fathoms deep, was found heaped
up on the lighthouse gallery. The

Fish Farming.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press believes
that every farmer may raise his own
fish, and gives the following directions:
By attaching pump, propelled by the
wind, TO a well you can supply a basin
from fly to seventy-five feet In diameter
and six to eight feet deep, with water
sufficient to raise several thousand carp
or other fish. The cost of ispond and
appurtenances need not exceed $1,000.
The bottom and sides need to be cement
ed thoroughly. When the basin is COM
plete place in it a small quantity of
brush or floating weeds. If you intend
to raise carp, do not place other fish Of
q predatory character in the pond. The
spawning viii occur during the spring
months, the female laying from so, 600 to
500, 900 eggs: The eggs viii adhere to
whatever they touch, andwill soon hatch.
The green scum of a partially stagnant
pond is fine food for the young fish.
Mud in the bottom of the pond is bene-
fetal The fish will feed readily on
kitchen-garden refuse, such as cabbage,
leek, lettuce, honliny, or other. sub
stances. Water seldom becomes too
warm for these fish. During freezing
weather they bury themselves in the
mud at the bottom of the pond. While
in this condition they should not be dis
turbed. In a pond of given dimensions
several thousand fish have annually been
taken. If weeds and grass grow pro-
fusely about the borders of the pond, so
much better for the fish. In two years.

constant supply of sport and the advant-

Cleaning Brass.

The Government receipt for cleaning
brass, used in arsenals, is said to be as
follows: Make mixture of one part
nitric acid and one-haf part sulphuric
acid in a stone jar then place ready a
pail of fresh water and box of saw
dust. Dip the articles to be cleaned in
the acid, then remove them into the wa
ter, after which rub them with sawdust.
This Immediately changes them to a
brilliant color. If the brass is greasy it
must be first dipped in a strong solution
of potash and soda in warm water this
cuts the grease so that the acid has pow
er to act. The Manufacturer says that
rusted steel can be cleaned by washing
with a solution of half an ounce of eva
hide of potassium in two ounces of wa
ter, and then brushing with paste COM
posed of half an ounce of cyanide of
potassium, half an ounce of CASTLE soap,
an ounce of whiting, and sufficient wa
ter to make the paste.

The Recurrence of Suffering;

James Rowe, the man who was blown

arms and his eyesight, is still blown up

he: Now am only obliged to die once

Hunting Fur in Maine.

Once in a great while an old back
weeds trapper gets inside of his histori-
cal coon skin cap, polishes his boots
with BEARS grease, perhaps goes SO far
as to rig up in ''b' lied shirt. and
comes down to Lewiston from Dead
River or Magalloway on business. His
business is to feel the market and learn
the current prices of furs. These are
rare occasions. Probably not more, than
two or three professional trappers get
down to Lewiston in a year. They gen
orally sell their peltries or barter them
to traders in the back towns or eonsign
their years batch by express to the city.
! The value of the raw flfrs handled an
nually in Lewiston is astonfshingly
large, when we consider into what
narrow space the fur bearing animals
have been driven by mankind, and how
cireumscribed are the trapper's hunting
grounds. One dealer In Lewiston bought
and shipped So, 600 worth of fur last
year. The value of the fur business
done in the State of Maine annually ex-s
ceeds 100000. The largest individual
dealer lis a man In Brewer, who handles
$25, 1000 worth per year. The number of
fur buyers in the State is not large.
Their chief sources of supply are in the
regions at the head waters of the An
drescoggirl, Kennebec and Penobscot
Rivers and the streams emptying into
them. Sportsmen aud occasional hum
tiers furnish few pelts, but the bulk of
the furs is furnished by the professional
trappers. There are many hundreds of
men I'm Maine who earn their living and
support their families by hunting. trap
ping and fishing, and who do nothing
else. except, perhaps, act as guides for
pleasure seekers in the summer months,
for the whole year. There are men in
Lewiston and Auburn who make
practice of striking into the woods with
their guns, traps and fish poles every
fall and staying till the cold weather
drives them ont. Sometimes they come
back loaded with valuable f1rs, and
scented from crown to boot taps with
the odor of the game they have skinned
