"OnIyv Children

An only child who has no near play
mate sometimes develops certain nery-
Gus peculiarities which occasion consid.
erable anxiety to the watchful mother
and father. This Is especially noticea-
BILE if the little one is of naturally
bright and quick disposition, and easily
adopts the ways and thoughts Of its eld-
ers. This restlesSness, with nervous
cough and ince5sant movement, often
have basis which may be readily un-
derstood and can be cured. What the
child needs Is childish companionship,
the fellowship of all innocent young
creatures, human and otherwise. A
child who knows its mother Is watch
ing for a cough will often ''scrape" till
its little throat is sore. He does not
mean it, nor does he know he Is acting
a part but the consciousness of being
watched, and the unconscious longing
for sympathy, are too much for his
nervous little system. Put him with
other children-the small comrades of
the kindergarten or playground Will
not notice his peculiarities (they have
too many other engrossing thoughts and
occupations) these distressing signs
will soon disappear, cast aside with dis
carded toys and outworn clothes. Lit
tie girls, boys and dogs are none the
worse for being brought up together.
Imaginative children need live, flesh and
blood playmates, more than all the doll:
and expensive toys, which are generally
idealized personalities and reflections Of
self to childish minds

Freaks OF Testators.

Ex-Probate Judge Albert Ii. Will
kinson, who filed the Wayne-county
Penna., Probate Judgeship with so
much honor Immediately before the
present incumbent's term of office, had
before him many queer Will proposed
and contested, the recital or which
would fill volume. But" said he,
'the Queerest case that ever came To
nv knowledge was the case of the con-
test of a will of an Irishman by the
name of Murphy. l happened TO be re-
tanned on the side of the contestants,
and after the will had been proposed
and one of the subscribing witnesses
had been sworn-who, by the way, was
a physician of long and honorable stand
ing here, DR.. Elisha Leach-and had
testified that he was present when the
will was executed, he was asked on
cross-examination: "You have been q
physician long time, doctor9"
"'Yes, SIR
"'And of course have had good
deal of experience in the manner of de-
tecting whether death has taken place
or not?'
CO. ol.
"sYou think you know dead man
when YOU see oneY
"'Yes, SIR
"'Did YOU and Others in your pres
ence make any trials Of the testator,
about the time that this will was exc
cuted, to see whether he was alive or
not? If so, state what those tests
were
"A looking glass was placed to the
face of the testator to see if any breath
could be noticed, and l also felt his
pulse and put my ear to his heart
"sWas that before or after the Will
was read over to him for his approvalr'

"sWhat was the result of those
testsP'
"'There was no sign Of life.'
"'This will was then read and this
signature affixed?'
"'Yes, SIR
"'This signature appears to be an y
mark Was the testator touching the
pen when it was made?"
"'Yes, SIR
"sWill you state, Doctor, whether in
your opinion the tes.ator was alive OF
dead when this will was madT
".He was dead, sir.'"
1t is almost unnecessary to say thai
DR.. Leach had no part in the matter
except to see his name as witness II

Chemicals for Household Use

II Is surprising, considering how
many women have been instructed IN
chemistry in their school days, to find
how few housekeepers make any use or
chemicals in various household pro-
cesses. Especially IS this the case In
cleansing processes. The washing or
clothes is usually wholly accomplished
by rubbing the clothes on the wash
board, and with no other detergent than
soap. The rubbing of the clothes wears
them out far more than use, and II
housekeepers only knew, or if knowing
they would take advantage Of the fact,
that many washing compounds Will al
most entirely cleanse clothes which are
soaked in them over night, and thus al
most entirely do away with the labor
and wear of the wash-board, wash day
might be robbed of half its teTrors.
Receipts for washing fluids, the princi-
pal ingredients of which are sOda-aSh,
ammonia and lime, can be found IN
nearly every household receipt-book,
and are very cheap and harmless. All
such washing compounds are useful and
convenient for cleaning woodwork,
paints and carpets in house also IN
washing dishes and securing that desld-
eratum of hOusekeepers, clean dish
clothes. Ammonia is a simple, cheap
and harmless chemical that should be
bought by the quart and kept in every
family. A few drops added TO water
will cleanse children's hair and make 1t
soft and sweet it is an admirable dis
infectant to remove the OdOr of perspi-
ration; it will remove grease spots from
clothing, and often restore colOrs te
stains. Its common and frequent use
cannot be too frequently urged.
Borax is another chemical that should
find a common use in every family. Fol-
cleansing the teeth and sweetening the
breath a few grains of the powder In
water are unexcelled. 1t also soften;
and whitens fiannels. Salicylic acid Ii
a perfectly odorless and harmless ye'
powerful disinfectant, and for many
disinfecting uses in the household is in
valuable. 1t is very cheap and cOnve
nient in form. In these days when Il
stay various forms of disease Is so I'M
portant, mothers and housekeeper'
would do well to give study and thought
to these things, and to try to max
their knowledge of science practical L
is very encouraging TO note how man.
women are at present turning their at
tention to studies in general and apple'
science. Let US have its benefits exem

Paper Doors.

Doors maze or paper are being used
in number of apartment houses now
being built in New York City. The
doors of paper cost about the same as
wooden ones, and are preferred by
builders because they neither shrink,
swell, crack or warp. They are COM
posed of thick paper boards, stamped and
moulded into panels, cemented together
with glue and potash, made to firmly
and permanently adhere by being passed
between heavy rollers. After being
united they are first covered with a
waterproof coating, followed by fire.
proof coating, then painted and var
nished and are ready to be hung. Ex-
cept from the lightness those not IN the
secret would not suspect that the doors
are not made of wood. When used as
shding-doOrs the weight is not easily
noticed and the illusion is perfect

LAR0JR ORGANTZATIONs.

Colonel R. J. Hinton in the North Ameri- can Review calls attention to the strength of the trades organizations of the United States
 in forcible way. He reckons the, number
 of their members at 611 ,530, but from this
 he says perhaps 50, GOO must be deducted for
 men who belong to more than one of the or
 ganizations named, and he.also includes the
 Socialistic Labor party and the Social Demo
 crats, estimating their strength at 25, 900. It
 is difficult to obtain exact figures, for the of
 fcers of unions very reluctant, as rule, to have their strength known. Leaving out
 the agricultural laborers, those employed in stores and trading and in domestic Service, about one-ffth of the skilled wage workers of the country now belong to these trade and labor organizations, but this does not cover the ratio of their influence. Three bodies which are not confined to members of special trades, and are somewhat ambitious in pur-
 pose, are the Knights of Labor, whose char
 acter and aims were pretty thoroughly dis
 cussed at the time of the late telegraphsrs' l strike. It's membership knows no limitation
 of sex or race, and the only persons work ing for a living who are excluded are lawyers, liquor sellers and bankers. The work it is doing is in the line of organization of trades and enforcing the idea that the in terests of all workers are common. The oth- CT two are the International Workingmen's I association and the Social Democrats, in whose ranks are embraced radicals, thinkers, theorists and others who are looking forward to improved conditions of life for these who
 labor, and not merely to temporary expedi- ents. Another sign of the growing feeling of unity of interest is the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, which
 recently held it's fourth annual session, at
 which representatives of nine trades, as well
 as other bodies, were present, and there are
 various other representative bodies, such as l the Central Labor Union of New York, in
 which are delegates who speak for 100,000
 wage workers. Many monthly and weekly journals are the organs of different crafts and l interests, and it is claimed that nearly 400 papers are in sympathy with the labor organ ] izations to 8 greater or less extent.
 Mir. Hinton thinks the time has come for more candid and generous attitude toward
 what is called the labor movement. Capital
 he thinks, if is to recall fIa fact that ttfrorn the ranks of labor come the constable and the soldier, by whose services and sacrifice it is, in the last resort, alone secure" The
 warning is not an unnecessary one. One
 great reason why the labor movement has l not received more consideration is that many
 of its leaders have not been ef the rght sort:
 If the labor organizations would put sound I and able men forward as their representatives they would not have so much trouble in se- cr1rinp A fair hearing
