Bath-ROOms in Farm.Houses.

Not many farm-houses, writes a cor.
respondent Of the Boston Journal. have
a convenient bathroom. nor is il con-
venient to arrange one in many old
houses without more expense than the
owner or tenant is willing to exaend.
Shall l tell you how one house is ar
ranged. not far from where am writ
ing. The house was so small for the
family that there was no room to spare
for bathroom, but it fortunately had
a good large kitchen, Upon one side
OF this kitchen stands the bath-tub,
cased in with pine boards. Above this
casing is movable board six or eight
inches wide. and the whole is covered
by smoothly-planed hardwood board
or boards. hung by hinges against the
wall. When the board is let tdown over
the tub it forms kitchen table about
seven feet long and about four feet
wide, and those not in the secret would
not suspect what is beneath it. When
the table is turned up and the movable
boards taken out the bathing-tub is of
convenient height A lead pipe carries
the water off through the same channel
that takes it from the kitchen sink.
Here. by the kitchen fire, the members
OF the family can take their bath before
retiring for the night. and the delight
OF the younger children at a tub in
which they can lie down and splash to
their hearts content is, as their moth
er assures me, something worth wit
Messing, and after the children are of |
TO bed the older members paw their J
tribute to cleanliness. The same lady J
assures me that the great kitchen table |
Is as handy as two smaller ones would /
De. Of course, this is not as conyen- !
lent as the regular bathroom. where
The latter can be kept at comfortable
temperature. but we cannot all have
new houses with all the modern i'm
and if we can afford to
make our old ones more convenient for
those who have to do the work therein.
let us do so. The making of the house
comfortable for those who spend their
days in it should be part of our every
tay work, as much as the fixing up of
barns and other buildings.

Very Old Crockery.

Mrs. Henry Winship, of this city, has
remarkable collection of antique
| crockery, all handed down through the
Winship family. The most antique is
a marble butter plate. nobody knows
how many years old, but its age must
be quite respectable, because DR.. LYON
says marble dishes were the first
''crockery'' ever used in England The
plate is of dark, varicgatcd marble;
part of the edge has been broken off
and restoration has never been attempt
ed; it is marvelously clean-cut.
Those old En%lishmen, said Mrs.
Winship, late off marble, but our Rev
Olutionary fathers in their dire cSs-
tress had to resort to the woods for
bark dishes. which were burned after
each meal
A teacup and a saucer. blue save for
an interval of white and a checked
border, are among the choicest of the
legitimate crockery. They were used
by Mr.. WInship's great-grandmother
and are at least POO years old. They
have been preserved with religious
care. A decorated bowl is one of the
same set. A tea-set of pictured blue,
used in the family seventy-tive years
ago, is also a treasure
A water-pitcher with decorations of
pink tint is not quite so old, but has as
remarkable history. Thirty-eight
years ago Mrs. Winship dropped it
down the well. 1t probably lodged
under ledge of rock, for during these
many years it has not been injured
save for a few slight hicks. Its glaze
is nearly as good as when it was lost
commentary upon the impenetrabili-
ty of the material. 1t was accidentally
tished up. a few days ago, while search
was being made for one of the buckets.
But what shall we think of a punch
tumbler over 200 years of age? 1t re-
sembles in size the loving cups of our
German friends, and is incrusted with
designs OF mated birds of necessity of
Englisn manufacture In it probably
much pa was .aixeG in the golden
days of long ago. 1t is whole; not a
nick or mark is visible. 1t comes
down through the Winship family. A
fine large crockery cider mug is also
down at % years of age 1t is en-
blazoned with a utchcr's coat Of arms

fost Mortem Examination Of Alex. W
Pagett.
The post mortem examination of Alex. W
Pagett, the suicide, developed two facts
First, that the ball entering at the base of tn.
ear on the right side extended upward, frac.
turing the sphenoid b.. which is the base
OF the skull, and ten ;. aceG downward. II
is imbedded in the face, probably on the left
side, but was not found as it could not be
done without disfguring the face. The frac-
ture OF the sphenoid bone is necessarily fatal
from Inflammation, but the length of time the
patient may live may vary. The second fact
is that, on examination of the brain, small
growth Of bone was found on the membrane
separating the hemispheres of the brain. which
no doubt was the main or approximate cause
OF insanity, and was irremediable.
DR.. W. Il. Reeves, the family physician,
states that the fatal deed was the act ofan in
sane man, but the shock to the system in it.
self, as it is often the case, may have rendered
him temporarily more rational than usual.
Two years ago DR.. Reeves had Pagett sent to
the Dayton Asylum, and at that time con-
sidered him permanently and hopelessly in
sane, and thinks his discharge from the asy-
lnm grave mistake. For some time the
doctor has feared that Pagett las he was
known to carry apistoD would take revenge
on him, or some of the family, for having
him sent to the asylum.
Mr.. James P Goodwin, the successful nom.
inee for Mayor, receives bis honors with the
most sincere and heartfelt gratitude. After
seige of handshaking at the Opera House last
night, his friends conducted him to his Office,
where he was surprised by crowd of his

"MY FRIEyDs-It is impossible for me to
