Bright. healthful table talk is spice
to the dinner, choice sauce to the sup
per, and happy is the family whose
head and master knows how to encocr-
age it.
1t is not easy to give fixed rules for
drawing forth appropriate conversation
around the family board, no easier than
to arrange a manual of courtship for
the use Of bashful lovers. Table-talk
must be FRI sh and voluntary, or it will
lose It's charm. But this necessity does
not preclude the adoption of general
principles, nor does it exclude previous
thought and provision; indeed, it is de-
sirable that some member OF each fam

KALsoMINE for walls and ceilings is a
wash made of whiting mixed with wa
ter and glue. 1t may be used white or
tinted with dry colors. The wall
should first be washed with sponge
and warm water, and any cracks
should be filled with plaster paris be-
fore the kalsomine is applied. To pre-
pare kalsomine dissolve a quarter of a
pound of white glue in cold water, al
lowing it to stand over night. In the
morning it may be heated gradually,
until perfectly smooth. Mix eight
pounds of whiting with hot water, add
the glue, stirring altogether. Should
this be quite thick, add warm water
until it becomes about the consistency
of cream. This is applied with kali
somine brush, fiat brush with a short
handle. Should there be any dark
stained places they should be painted
with shellac before the ceiling is kalso-
mined. Lime is a great purifier, and
coat OF whitewash on cellar walls or
any walls gives clean, wholesome

IS made by pouring bot water over

Cold water may be added sfterward to

With such awkward attempts at con-
ISOLATION, and with the more substan-
lial sympathy of a five-dollar bill,
Harry got her out of the room, while
she was making an effort to thank him
and repeated his promise Of help, and,
with an awkward sense of his clumsi-
ness, yet with the satisfaction that he

shivering at the bleak and snowy air
and at the mockery OF q funeral, he
turned from Starr Place ard walked
briskly away.
Several hours later he called upon
Miss Westford to explain why he could
send her no flowers. GIVE searched

not one to be had" Then ne told of
his visit to Starr Place, giving a rough
picture of their misery, sighting and
half sneering at his own charitable
acts. "rhey lived in such a beastly
hole, don't you know, and everything
was 80 disgusting, and they'd no end Of
bad luck, and the little beggar was so

Miss Westford saw through his indif-
ferent manner. and guessed at his real
actions, and the story moved her so
much that she was content at the loss
of her Jacqueminots, aud exclaimed,
as he finished: "Mr. Brenton, you're
an angel"
Harry was a little embarrassed at this
praise.
"Wby, didn't do anything for them,
you KNOW" he began.
Eyes, you did l know you did ex-
actly the right thing. You needn't feel
ffattered, for there isn't ordinarily any

As | said in the beginning, Starr Place
is not pleasant place to live in, and
no one would ever think there was any
romance about il; and yet, if Harry
Brenton had not carried those roses
down there, il is a question in my mind
if the engagement which "came out
last week would ever have "come out"

|, Monumental Misunderstanding.

A new brick building is being erected
on Main street, and recently q double
eyed, bangcd-haired woman with bas-
ket of eggs on one arm and can of
butter in her hand, stopped before the
boss of construction and said:
"Want to buy any eggs"
"You will have to give her about
three tenpennies more," said the boss,
directing workman.
"Give who some tenpennies?" asked
the woman, setting down her butter,
Say, jim, come around here with
your ak and hit her on the head"
"Ob, you're goin' to have me hit IN
the head" said the woman, putting
down her sggs. "Well, when you want
me hit in the head just you commence
ahittin'. I'm"
"Hoist her up; hoist her up. Hurry
up, she'll burst in two" yelled the boss,
as a large timber commenced splitting.
The boss, now that the affair Is over
and his nerves in healthful state, says
he knows it was the old woman who hit
him, but at the time he thought the
building had caved in, and for the sal
airy of senator he wouldn't undertake
to again convince that woman he was
talking to the workmen instead of her.

Lime Juice in the Treatment of Diph-
iberia.

M. Czartoryski, M. D., of Stockton,
California, writes as follows to The Lon
don Lancet:
During a prolonged residence in the
interior Of China, became acquaint-
ed with the fact that the Chinese place

liberia in the internal use of the fresh
juice of LINES IA fruit closely allied to
the lemon) and of The fruit itself, which
they consume III enormous quantities,

etc, during attacks of thie dreadful dis
ease, with apparently most successful
results, it hardly ever failing to effect a
cure. The Chinese consider it speci-
tic, and will in case of need, do any
thing to obtain a supply.

suits in cases OF diphtherla, even IN the

A New Vocation for Tramps.

A band of musicians neatly uniform
ed in blue, with frogs and chevrons and
silk tags on their coats, and shining
gold cords and buttons on their caps,
turned into quiet uptown street yes
terday forenoon, and pitching their
music glands on the shady side, began
the famous "Tell" overture. The open
ing movement soon brought to some of
the windows knots of ladies and chill
dren; janitor stopped sweeping off
the sidewalk in front of row of flats;
a grocery boy ceased whistling and sat
down on a stoop to listen, and q tramp
leaned against a lamp-post and viewed
the scene with u cynical air When
the musicians came to the end one OF
their number, taking Oft his hat, began
round of supplicating glapces at tie
tenanted windows. Plainly the poor
waits were not IN luck that morning,
and when second story window was
coyly opened, and little paper wisp
came futtering down from a shapely
hand, the collector Of the troupe was

window open and noted the gesture.
A glance assured him that the man of

Governor PattisOn and the Philadelphia
Ring.
N. j Herald.

The arrest OF Robert B. Morrell, for
merly the chief auditor Of the Phiia-
delphia Gas Trust, is a gratifying re-
minder that the determined fight
against Philadelphia's corrupt ring,
which Governor Pattison as Comptrol
Ter so ably conducted, is stesdily and
triumphantly progressing. Every le-
gal obstacle that could be cunningly
planned to delay the trial of these ring
suits has been tried, and the fierce at
tacks, personal and political, which
were made upon the Comptroller will
doubtless be continued against the
G )vernor, to prevent him, by threat
and intimidation, from using against
the ring the knowledge Of their wrong
doings. When mere city official the
powerful ring were unable to stop his
inv tigation of the Gas Trust or turn
MIN from his determination to unearth
the frauds that had long lain hidden in
the official records. 1t is not likely,
now that Pennsylvania has thoroughly
indorsed him by calling upon him to
act as her chief executive, that the con-
tinued attacks of the ring will lessen
his interest in or his determination to
carry to a conclusion these suits. 1t ie
the duty of chief magistrate to aid
the citize, of any part of the State in
their efforts to punish those who have
violated D Ublic trusts, ana the work
which was ably begun by Pattison,
Comptroller of Philadelphia, will doubt
less DC carried to fitting conclusion
with the aid of Pattison, Governor of
Pennsylvania, despite the efforts of the
ring to weaken his determination and
his influence.

How to Boil and Stew.

To do either properly, the food must
be immersed at the beginning in actu-
ally boiling water, and the water must
be allowed to reach the boiling point
Immediately and to boil for about five
minutes. The action of boiling water
upon the surface of either meat or veg
etables IS to harden it slightly, just
enough to prevent the escape of either
Juices or mineral salts. After the pot
containing the food has commenced to
boil second time, it should be remov.
ed to the side of the IRE and allowed
to simmer until the food IS done. This
simmering, or stewing, extracts all of
the nutritious qualities of either meat
or vegetables. The pot should be kept
closely covered, unless for moment
when it is necessary to raise the coy
er in order to remove the skum. The
steam will condense inside in drops of
moisture, if the boiling is slow. Do
not think that rapid boiling cooks fast
er than the gentle process l recon-
mend. After the pot once boils you
can not make its contents cook any
faster if you have fire enough under it
to run steam engine. So save your
| fuel and add to thu fire little 10y little

/ ifyou boil hard and fast it will be
