CHEAPAED DEAR HoUsEKEEPTNa-
The housekeeping question still inter-
ests the many families who. particu-
larry Ia large cities. find il hard to
make both ends meet, or even veoesa-
bles without meat. One .housewita''
writes to the Chicago Herald THAT with
80 a week she keeps house for Eve
persons and pays girl. This, how
ever, is very different from an income
Of $40 week, on which some would
persuado the public they are able TO
live IN almost elegant ease. But even
tins amount for that number. five
persons, including the wages Of girl.
implies peculiar tact and great vigi-
lance for its disbursement. She al
ways buys forcash, getting herallow
anee every Friday and paying for the
goods on delivery. She weighs every
parcel and sends back short weight
packages IT the discrepancy is only
hall an ounce, so as to insure correct
measurement afterwards. In order
not to run up any kind Of bill she
pays Tor her milk, cream. and news
paper every morning. During work
ing hours she never leaves her girl a
minute. and work ceases when the
dinner dishes are cleared. Supper IA
omitted. The washing is on the line
Mondays by s A. NJ, the ironing done
by the same hour next morning. She
saves soap by putting the clothes tn
soak over Sunday, and few drops #
ammonia also saves soap and labor.
Ten cents worth Of indigo in q rag
equals year 5 supply Of liquid blulng.
She trades rags and old bottles for
brooms. tins. and mops; saves money
by buying the best creamery butter.
and then not allowing much Of it to
be eaten IN cooking uses part lard
instead of butter, gives her children
and the servant soups and stews,
though her husband won't eat them.
Bakers bread. she says, is a waste,
and rice and cornmeal are in part
substitutes Cor -four. Her table n
excellent" her house is we'll kent"
and she is confident that mot q cents
worth Of waste goes on in her house."
but one can't help feeling sorry for
her husband. her children, and her
servant girls.
Another woman believes that a
family of six cannot be properly fed
on less than $l5 a week. She has
three chIldern under Is, and feeding
them is like throwing victuals down
hatchway; while between meals ap-
pies, bread and butter, crackers and
cookies disappear like magic. But
they are in perfect health. and she
thinks groceries cheaper than medi-
cine; which is true, provided too
many groceries do not make medicine
necessary.
However, she reveals q valuable
and ingenious secret as 10 the way 10
live in stone-front houses, keep too
servants, support q family Of ten in
fine style on 81 200 a year. This re-
markable family are living in her
neighborhood Just now, and she has
learned all about them. They nav
one months rent and then stay in
the house until the lease has expired,
or the landlordexpe them; then they
60 away owing butcher and grocer
for several months supplies. Their
appearance is good, the head of the
family seems TO be engaged in some
lucrative business, and the tradesmen
feel no anxiety. Except in this way
the patent msthods for loIline in
luxury on annual incomes Of only
three or four small digsts, may be
set down as humbugs.

AFTERNOON MEN.-There is a pro-
verb which says, What can be done
at any time is never DONE" and ap-
plies especially to class who have
become slaves to the habit of procras-
tinatiou, and the habitual postponing
of everything that they are not COM
pelled by necessity to do immediate
iy. Now, delays are not dangerors
10 present prospects, but they are
destructive to ultimate success. A
dilatory man is not to be depended
upon. The slightest pretext Is sufTi-
cient for him 20 disappoint you. If
an employe, the sooner he is dis
charged the greater the advantage to
the employer. There are those who
may be properly called afternoon
men," They ara always busy get
ting ready to 60 to work. In the
morning they walk around, carefully.
inspect their duties, and say "Plen-
ty toaio to-day. / must go to work
this afternoon About three o'clock
they survey what they havn't done,
anu e1cl4lm
'.one thing and another has pre-
vented me from making any headway
to-day; I'll quit, and begin bright and
early in the morning" One day
with them, is simply the reflection Of
another. There is nothing accom-
plished in a whole life; and their
western sun overtakes them, and finds
no preparation for the wants and in
frmities of age. There is nothing to
look back upon but squandered time.
One hours exercise in the morning
loosens the muscles Of the limbs, sets
the blood dancing in the veins, and
fits man physically and mentally
for the day activity: while one hours
slosh after breakfast produces a tor
por from which it is almost impossi-
bic TO rally.

How They DO 1t.
New York TRUTH

A Maine girl, tall and ruddy, kisses
as though she was taking an impression
in the chewing gum of her native
State. The Massachusetts girl kisses
in the Greek style, favored with brown
bread and baked beans. The New
York girl goes at it as if she were dab
bling in Wall street speculation.
The kiss of New Jersey girl is fiery
as taste of apple jack, better known
as Jersey lighting. Little Delaware's
girls are as soft as the peaches which
grow there A Maryland kiss is as
rich and JUICY as terrapin stew. The
Pennsylvania Dutch girls have to be
kissed with their hands in dough if
you don't want a slap. The Kansas
girl makes a straight, clean rush, for
bliss, like q racer. on the homestretch.
In the Old Dominion you are, met with
a genuine hospitality. The girls kiss
as though they wanted you to stay.
A Louisiana kiss is said to be like eat
ing sugar cane, whilst the North Car
olina gills stick like tar. The Ohio
girl is described as possessing the COM
prehensive qualities of the Ohio man
she wants all she can get and gets all
she can. g~s.,-

It's Hon. Jonathan III. Wallace, and
Don't You Forget II.

An attempt was made By some of the
Judges Il Election in Colum biana county
to count out Major Whllacs, but Il
wouldn't work and the certificate will
undoubtedly be given to bin "a whom il
rightfully belongs. In Fairfield town
ship 13 votes were cast for ~. II. Wal
lace, Major Wallace" and "Mr. Wal
lace. Instead OF returning these votes
on the tally sheet the ignorant Judges OF
Election suppressed them entirely, though
the one Democratic member objected to
this mode Of procedure and evident de.
sire 20 count Major Wallace out.
In Center township three votes were
east for major Wallace" two for ~. H.
Wallace, three for Jonathan Wallace,
and one for "Wallace," but none of these
were counted for Jonathan II. Wallace,
though they were returned on the tally
sheets.
So in Perry township where one vote
was cast for Major Wallace" three for
wallace" one for NV. 81. Wallace" one
for "W. w. Wallace" two for Jonathan
Wallace" and in Washington township
where one was cast for wallace" and in
Yellow Greek township where, one was
cast for "W. II. Wallace" Tins it will
be seen that S5 votes were cast for Mr..
Wallace that were not counted for him
that should have been. Out of these only
% are reported on the tally sheets, but
this is enough to elect Major Wallace by
IA majority, though his rightful major
ity is 81.
George K. Nash, Attorney General of
Ohio, and Chairman of the Republican
State Committee. was telegraphed con-
cerning the matter, and in reply he sent
the following message:
''Where the intention of the voter is evident it
should be carried out Votes cast for William Nc
Kinley, should be counted for VIM. Mckinley, Jr.,'
and votes cast for - II. Wallace. Major Wallace
etc., should be counted for Jonathan h. Wallace
HUrrah for Wallace!

he took her ticket and deposited it

so forth. That isn't me. however
The speech had its due effect upon
all i the passengers, including the
victim, and the man let out another
link by remarking:

sist her off the car, or ask if she is

There was something painful in the
situation to the other six, but relief
came by the man reaching the end of

Mark Twain's One Regret.
Washington, ID. C.) Capital.1

Mark Twain recently visited the
Yale College Museum at New Haven
in company ~itha Methodist minister,
who is his bosom friend. Professor
Marsh was present, and a delegation
of literary ladies were asking all kinds
of intricate questions about evolutions
and Darwinlsm, but when the presence
of the distinguished humorist was
known he became the center of obser-
walton. The Professor opened case
of fossil skulls which he had exh1med
from the Badlands in the West, and
proceeded to make an astonishing ex-
hibition; for he took the lowest and
most animal type of all the ancient
skulls and put it at the foot Of the
table. Then he placed more developed
ones after it, grading them from the
lowest to the highest speciman. The.
most Intellectual appearing skull was
that of negro, and the one next to it.
was a New York Fourth-ward rough.
"There,' . said Professor Marsh, "is ev-
idence of evolution that cannot be
destroyed by argument. The lowest
of those skulls is little more than a
boulder, yet you see it has all the
outlines and marks Of human skull.
| wish Darwin could see. these spec
imens." Mark Twain and his minis
terial friend gazed long and earnestly
without saying word. Finally Mark
drew deep sigh, and looking with
melancholy ali, at the. fossils he said,
II am now convinced of the truth Of
Darwinism, and [ only regret that
your specimans do not go back far
enough" "Why?" asked the inter
ested Professor. "Because l want to
see the skulls of some of my family"

worthy of praise and which really does
as recommended. Electric Bitters we
