they have been in the mood TO receive
information gladly and willingly, the
more so that the information itself has
been prepared in simple and attractive
style. The enthusiasm with which they
have patronized the entertainments and
the constant increase of interest which
they evince for them is sufficient proof
that at last plan has been devised for
the popular education of the masses
which will go far to offset the attractions
devised by unprincipled persons to get
their money away from them without
rendering them any equivalent. The
philanthropic, in other cities, would do
well to confer with the Cleveland bureau
and study its plan. There is need of
just such a bureau right here in Chicago.

One of the most unmistakable eviden-

constant use is the decline of the circus
clown. In the good old days when a
clowns jokes were new, and when the
clowns songs were permitted, if not ac-
tually sanctioned by Law and popular
opinion, the clown was the most impor-
tant part of the show. Now, however,
the clown has been almost suppressed;
his voice is hushed; his song book has
been taken from HIM and he has been
reduced to pantomime at irregular inter
walls in the ring performance. Persons

she must not touch those apples, as she

A nins so Strawberry Rai.sr..

J. II. Hale says that New York gen
tleman told him at the time of the
strawberry season last summer, that
while he would like this fruit on his
table at every meal, from the beginning
10 the end of the ripening season, he
often went without them; for on going
to the grocery he often found them in
such old and dirty baskets that he could
not relish them, and would not buy.
Therefore, dealers should discard all
baskets as soon as they are slightly
soiled. The cost will be small in COM
mrison with the profits derived from a
ready sale and higher prices. A dealer
said to him, at is better TO pay one o.
two cents more a quart for fruit in good
clean baskets for the growers who are
careful enough TO use clean baskets, are
usually sure TO have good fruit run all
through the crate"

several months ago, says the Boston
Journal. a lady residing on Beacon street
took OIL number of rings from her
fingers and laid them on her dressing
table. After washing her hands she re-
turned to the room to replace her rings.
when to her establishment one of them,
a diamond ring, was missing. She was
certain that she took the ring from her
finger, and equally certain that no one
could have entered the room without her
knowledge during the five minutes she
had been in the bathroom. A most rioid
search was instituted. but the MISSING
ring, valued at 500, was not found. A
lew weeks since the lady was much an
noyed by mice. Almost nightly they
neid their revcls. They not only de-
stroyed her sleep, but choice laces were
mutiiated. The lady finally procured a
trap, one OF the ole fashioned kind. and.
having baited it with a tempting biz of
cheese, placed it near the scene of de-
precautions. On the following t,ay she
mad three fine silken mice of various
sizes. One of them was SO peculiarly
constructed that it attracted her atten-
tion, as 1t seemed to have a string tied
around its body. The servant Girl was
instructed to drown the captives and re.
set the trap. She was about 10 throw

ner eye caught the sparkle of wha.
proved to be the lost diamond ring.
which was not perceptible when the
mouse was alive, but which came to light
aiter the severe soaking which the mouse
reserved. IL Is supposed, in his haste 20
get away, that he ran his head through
the ring, and his subsequent struggles
1t remained.

A MISPLACED PLASTER.

"What's the matter, Invalid?" in

"a bull had me in the corner Of the
fence" he groaned.
He WAS in great suffering, and she

the end of the Car to prepare it.
"Make it hot and strong" muttered
he, with great restraint preventing him
self from crying out with pain.
His wife, with the plaster ready. soon
came back softly, SO as not to awaken
any one. The car was darkened, and all
the sections looked alike, and for n mo-
mont she was confused; but smothered
snore, which sounded like groan near
at hand, assured her. She quickly drew
aside the curtain and clapped the poul-
tice ION the spot where il would do the
most good" The invalid Just then poksd
his head out, little further down the
aisle. and in smothering tones called,
"Quick. Patience, quick"
She gave one leap, like shot fawn,
into his section, drew the curtain and
nearly swooned away.
Great Scott! what's the natter" he
exclaimed.
She managed somehow to gasp out
what she had done. and, presto! the in
valid was cured; for he shook up his
whole interior organization so hard in
he effort to restrain big guffaw. that
he actually scared the pain entirely
away.
THAT man, whoever he is, will be
boiling, piping hot pretty soon," was his
sole comment.
In about fifteen minutes the stiffness
OF that car was broken by volley of
shrieks that raised the hair on the head
of every one.
