The Cause of the Noise.

SIS your baby off its feed againpn
asked the funny boarder, addressing.
with his usual effrontery, a YOUNG
mother who sat ut the opposite end
of the table. For several minutes =
series of remarkable sounds had been
waited into the dining-room, the
excruciating nature of which had
suggested to the funny boarder his
inquiry. And, indeed, his theory APP
peared to be well based.
My baby, SIR" replied the young
mother, with ineffable scorn, WAS
never guilty of making such noises,
and, besides, his nurse is now giving
him an airing in the park"

During this time the landlady, the

turning the house upside down in search
of the agonizing shrieks and walls
which seemed to come from no where
in particular, but which where suffi-
GENTLY terrible in the eerie hour of twi-

They finally succeeded, however, in
corralling the sounds in n hall bed

Deafening Floors.

The transmission of sound between
two contiguous stories of q building
oftentimes becomes annoying to those
occupying the lower story. AS the
power of solid body to transmit
sound is in proportion to its density, it
is q matter of easy correction, in most
cases similar to the above, when under
taken at the time of construction.
The old and primitive method of de-
posting q quantity of wet mortar on
rough boards between the floor beams,
etc., has been in many cases quite as
bad as the disease. The transmission
of sound was lessened in a degree, but
the dampness of the mortar was ab-
sorbed by the contiguous lumber, and
sooner or later produced decay-dry
rot. The use of sawdust is only q pal
liation, for it is likely, after a time, to
absorb dampness, and be reluctant to
part with it. It also furnishes mice
and rats a splendid material for nest
lug. Wool felt, is an enduring, elias
tic material, and when laid in strips
equal to the width and top of the floor
beams, the flooring, when laid, is uni
formly separated from the direct sound
conductors TO the story below. Use
the felt in thickness of q quarter to q
third of an inch. The method of inter
posing layer of mineral wool between
the under and upper floors is q good
one. On top of the first floor, narrow
strips, 2x2 inches are placed, sixteen to
twenty inches apart, and the immedi-
ate spaces filed with mineral wool,
placed in loosely--not packed-and the
layer of floor nailed in position. By
this method, warm, muffied and
partially fre-proof floor is secured,
without the use of materials to produce
dry-rot, or become the nesting place
for vermin.

CObwebS and Wine.

'Cobwebs is cobwebs. eve all know
that, :" he began automatically. We all
know that they signify age, antiquity,
and sometimes neglect. Cobwebs only
come where men are not to be found.
BY that don't mean to say they show
their bad taste, but it's simply curl
Gus fact. Leave a room for six months,
and at the end of that time you see
your cobwebs before you. Cobwebs,"
he added, sinking his voice to a mys-
FERROUS whisper, 'love cellars. They
cluster around every object to be found
in that dim obscurity. They hold
ghostly orgies across the windows and
execute Walpurgis night dances from
the ceilings. But best of all, they
cling yearningly to wine. They're
very conservative, though. 1t takes
time to have a good thick gathering on
wine. And you know that good old
port wine with half an inch thickness
of cobwebs is worth q fabulous price"
The wine merchant took up bottle
from beneath the mound of cobwebs
and held it up. 1t had an incrustation
of cObwebs as thick as the coating on
the Cesnola collection of cypriote an
tiquities. 1t looked like an ill-shaped
Stilton cheese, only more so.
I'm this case" continued Bacchus,
'I've supplied the effect of years. By
O remarkable process-at least there's
nothing remarkable in it except its de-
ception-Pve laid that coat of cobwebs
on the bottle. You can buy pounds of
cobwebs from rag-pickers at D few
cents pound. They're very cheap,
because there's not a great demand tor
them. Well say I've just imported

How Gear 10 my heart Is the show Of my
childhood,
The old country circus my infancy knew!
In these days of three rings, hippcdromes,
railroads,
How fond recollection presents thee to viewi
For weeks, while the posters on fences and
church sheds
Portrayed to my young eyes the scenes that
No soft thrill of love- no throb of ambition,
Has since equalled the bliss l gained dream
ing Of thee.
How faithful worked in the ways that pre-
To gain the few pennies my ticket should
buy!
No toll was so sweetened-no reward so stu
No miser ere cherished his hoard as did l.
How fair the sun shone on the glad day ap-
pointed
How rife with strange hustle the sleepy old
And, when DER the hill came the rumbling of
wagons,
The bound Of my heart said: "The circus has
comet!
The DID, country circus, the faded old circus,
The oGe-hOrse old circus my infancy knew.
What pageant of now can that grand entry"
compass?
What wit Of to-day like those jokes of the
ring?
And those divans of pine boards-such ease
Oriental,
No reserved cushioned chairs of the present
can bring.
One elephant only. satisfying majestic,
Not Jumbo, nor sacred, neither painted nor

Take them all, and the whole gilded, fraudu-

For single return of that honest delight

The Best Bed.

OF the eight pounds which man
eats and drinks during the day, it is es-
timated that no less than five pounds
leaves the body through the skin. And
of these five pounds considerable es-
capes during the night. This, being q
greater part gaseous in form, perme-
ates every part of the bed. Thus all
parts of the bed-mattresS blankets,
as we'll as sheets-soon become foul,
and need publication.
The mattress needs this renovation
quite as much as the sheets.
To allow the sheets to be used with
out washing or changing for three
or six months would be regarded
as bad housekeeping; but | insist. if I
thin sheet can absorb enough of the
poisonous excretions of the body to
make it unfit for use in q few days, q
thick mattress which can absorb and
retain Il thousand times rs much OF
these poisonous eXhalations, needs to
be purified as often certainly as once
in three months. A sheet can be wash
ed. A mattress cannot be renovated
n that way. Indeed, there is no other
way of cleaning u mattress but by
steaming it or picking it to pieces, and
thus in fragments exposing it to the di-
rect rays of the sun. As these pro-
cesses are scarcely practicable with
any of the ordinary mattresses, [ am
decidedly of the opinion that the good,
old fashioned straw bed, which can ev-
cry three months be exchanged for
fresh straw, and the tick washed, is the
sweetest of beds. If in the winter sea-
son the porousness of the straw bed
makes it q little uncomfortable,
spread over it two wooden blank cts,
which should be washed. With this
arrangement, if you wash all the bed
covering often, you will have sweet,
healthful bed.
Now. if you leave the bed to air, with
open windows during the day, and not
make it up for the light before evening,
you will have added greatly to the
sweetness of your rest, and, in conse-
quence, to the tone of your health.
| heartily wish this good change
could be everywhere introduced. Only
those who have attended to this i'm
portant matter can Judge of its intlu-
ence on the general health and spirits.

Where to Go in Sickness.

Some years ago the students of GER
tain college in the State of New York
were in the habit OF voting in the town,
as they had right to do, instead of at
! their homes. But, one year the political
party against whom the students had
usually voted, secured the control, and
appointed two or three of their adj
herents guardians of the ballot-box.
As one student after another present
ed his vote, one of these officials, q
pompous, strutting man, challenged
him. Several students had yielded
rather than enter into any contest with
the cloud" man. But, at last, there
came up q homely, awkward student,
gifted with large stock of mother-wlt:
''Stop!" cried the pompous man, i'm
peratively, us the student was about to
vote. care you a voter, sir?''
Eyes sir, drawled the student.
"Where do you live?" demanded the
man, thinking to make short work Of
this green youth.
"Why here, sir.
81 mean, where do you reside?"
''Why, at the college, sir.
'You are a student there"
Eyes, sir."
'You are merely a student, and, yet,
claim to reside here?'
Eyes. sir, [ reside here. Where else
should | live and attend this college?"
"You know what l mean well
enough" said the pompous man, i'm
patiently. Don't you ever 90 away?"
''Of course | do, sometimes. The
safety of the town doesn't require my
constant presence" drawled out the
student.
A laugh ran through the crowd, and
the pompous man grew red in the face.
But he gathered himself up for a final
effort.
Young man." said he soIemnly,
''these eYasions are of no avail. An
swer me this one question: If you
were sick, where would you go?"
The student hesitated, as if he did
not like to say. '.Hcme SIR" or "Where
my parents live"
81 insist on an answer" persisted
the official, with the triumphant air of
man who has driven his opponent
into q corner. 'Where would you 90
if you were sick?"
WELL" drawled out the student,
eff [ must tell, I should-I should-go
to bed"
Amid the roar of laughter which
rang through the town hall, the
pompous man stepped aside, and the
student handed in his ballot.

A Lightning Calculator.

A remarkable instance of rapid men
tai calculation has been discovered in
81 young Polish boy named Paul Zilzis-
ky, living in East Bridgeport, Conn.
He has low forehead, with hair grow
ing down to his eyebrows, is rather
sleepy looking and shambling in his
movements But whenever his father
asks him a question relative to num-
bers he at once brightens up and be-
comes excited. A reporter found him
in q grocery store in East Bridgeport
this morning, and asked his father who
was with him, if it was true that his
son was 4 lightning calculator. Mr.
Lilzisky, who speaks poor English and
who is now q poor man, having lost
much of his earnings by the late Frary
& Son cutlery failure, said in answer:
Paul, how many beans are there in
this handful?' The boy at once COM
menced to dance around the store, and
became greatly excited rs his father
thrust his hand into : barrel of beans.
took q handful, and threw them down
in q corner, where they lay scattered
about. The lad leaped into the air,
and almost before the beans had
touched the floor shouted Il, 76S." The
beans were carefully gathered and
counted, and while this was being
done the boy grinned and waited The
result showed him to be correct to q
bean. He relapsed into his usual
sleepy manner again. The father then
seized q handful of oats, and threw
them in Il neap upon the counter
Paul" said he, chow many oats?"
The boy again jumped to his feet, de-
voured the oats mentally, and instantly
shouted, -, $780," 1t took long time
to count them, but the number was
again found to be correct. Next the
father seized half-filled pail of water
and asked the boy, How many cubic
inches of water in the pail?'' The boy
sized it up with his eyes and quickly
shouted, ZIG" a careful computa-
ton proved the result to be right.
Other wonderful answers were given,
always in an excited manner, and no
comparison Of his manner at this time
