Wants to Rule the ROOst

The following story is told by Th4
Washington Star: A man called
upon the head of one of the govern
ment bureaus the other day and intro
duced himself as the husband of one
of the lady clerks. He explained that
he had just been discharged from his
position in another department, and
he attributed this mainly to the fact
that it was known that his wife was
in government employ. He then went
on to suggest that she be discharged
and the place given to him.
1.-The money is in the family, is it
not2" asked the official. "What diff
ference does it make to whom it is
paidi"
Eyes" replied the discharged man;
but she don't give me any money for
myself"
"Your wife provides bread and
clothing for you and the children and
she is good wife, is she not?" asked
the official
20 yes have no fault to find with
her on that account; but want to be
the head of the house, and when she
gets the money she is the head"
1T occurs to me-" observed the Of
fetal With undisguised contempt,
that if my wife was supporting her
self, that I would turn in and earn
my own living"
But can't earn my living" was
the reely. II don't know how" He
then went on to urge that his request
be granted, but he was told that even
if there was no other objection to the
transfer it would be contrary 10 the
law.

A Chinaman Tells How Tea Should be
Made
weng Choo Foo, In the Cook.

Use china or porcelain pot. If
you do use metal let it be tin, new,
bright and clean; never uss it when
the tin is worn and the iron exposed.
If you do you are playing chemist
and forming a tannate or tea ate of
iron.
Use black tea. Green tea when
good is kept at home. What goes
abroad Is bad. very bad and horrible.
Beside containing 2e3 adulterations
the Chinese philanthropist puts up for
the outside barbarian, it is always
pervaded by copper dust from the
dirty curing pans at the growers.
Infuse your tea Don't boil i'll
Place one teaspoonful of tea in the pot
and pour over it one and half cups
of boiling water-that is -! water really
boiling. Ifyour tea Is poor, use more.
1t is cheaper, though, to buy good tea
at the outset. Put your pot on the
back part of the stove, carefully cow
cred, SO that it shall not lose its heat
and the tea its buquet Let it remain
there five miRuter. Then drink it.
Drink your tea plain. Don't add
milk nor sugar. Tea brokers and tea '
tasters never do; epicures never do;
the Chinese never do. Milk contains
fibrin, albumen or some other such
stuff, and the tea delicate AMOUNT
of tanning. Mixing the two makes
tie liquid turbid. This turpidity, if l
rem, nber the cyelopedia Alright, is
tannate of fbrin, or leather. People
who put milk In tea are. therefore,
drinking boots and shoes In mild dis
guise.

The Red Mans Logical Mind

''The Indians" said the teacher
TO the spectator, possess logical
mind. The negroes do not. The ne
groes are quick to see fact, but they
do not put one fact and another to-,
gether and draw conclusion or
make comparison. The Indians do.
For instance, one Of my Indian boys
the other day asked me the meaning
of miss. To miss, 1 told him, is the
same as to fail. You shoot at bird
or at a mark, and dc not hit it. you
miss it. You go to a tailor's for a
coat and your coat fits badly, it IS a
miss-fit. You hope to enter the mid
die class next year, but you can not
pass the examinations, and so you
miss the promotion His face wore
a puzzled air. and he shook his head.
Then, said l, there is another mean
ing of miss. We call married lady
madam, but an unmarried lady miss.
His face frightened; he smiled and
nodded. AMI see, she has missed
her man."

Publication of Drinking Water.

DR., Edwin J. Howe, in American Agriculturist
For July.
The average healthy adult man
takes into his system four and half
pounds of water daily, and with il too
often dangerous quantity of foreign
and disease producing germs. In very
many homes during the summer
months, water that would otherwise
nause2te the drinker is made cold by
ice, and then is hastily swallowed,
the celdness masking its offensive
ness. Unfortunately for the health
of the consumer, the addition of Ice
does not render tho impurities in
water innocuous, but often adds to its
own contribution of disease>germs.
The only safeguard to the consumer
is in giving his seasonal attention to
the filtration of the water used in his
household. Water slowly percolated
through crushed vegetable charcoal
will escape from 1t not only cleaHsed
of particles held in suspension, but
also of organic and other matter. The
cheapneSs of charcoal is such that it
is obtainable by all classes, and, when
soiled, a fresh quantity can be SUBJ
stituted at triding cost. The most
effective filtra ion is obtained by
placing crushed charcoal in an ea1th>
en- vessel, SO arranged as to compel
the slow passage of the water through
it, as all efforts at rapid filtration
have proved inefficient. Only wood
en- spigots should be used in drawing
off the water. A reservoir for TIE
filtered water, with a separate ice
chamber, will permit the water to be
sufficiently cooled land keep all i'm
purities out. Such continuance re-
quires but very little room, is easily
cleaned, the coal renewed, and is eff
Gent in freeing water from impuri~
ties.
