Bath-Rooms In Houses

Not many farm-houses, writes cor
respondent of the Boston Journal, have
convenient bathroom, nor is it con-
venient to arrange one in many old
houses without more expense than the
owner or tenant is willing to expend.
Shall l tell you how one house is ar
ranged, not far from where I am writing.
The house was SO small for the family
that there was no room to spare for q
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 with a
smoothly -planed hard wood board or
boards, hung by hinges against the wall.
When the board is let down over the
tub it forms kitchen table about seven
feet long and about four feet wide. and
those not in the secret would not sus-
pect what is beneath it. When the
table is turned up and the movable
boards taken ont the bathing-tub is of
convenient height. A lead pipe carries
the water off through the same cham ell
that takes 1t from the kitchen sink,
Here, by the kitchen fire, the members of
the family can take a bath before retir-
ing 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, SIS their mother assures me,
something worth witnessing, and after
the children are off to bed the older
members pay their tribute to cleanliness.
The same lady assures me that the
great kitchen table is as handy Is two
smaller ones would be. OF course. this

Fragile Bones.

DR.. W. Blanchard has reported to The
Chicago Medical Society case of girl
whose bones are so brittle that they
break at any slight jar. The patient is
II years old and las been under DIR.
Blanchard's trestment for sixteen years.
She has been afflicted since her birth.
Over 10 fractures of her bones have
occurred during her life, in all parts of
the body-ribs, legs, arms and sternum.
The girl weighs about As pounds. SO
small jar as that occasioned by step
ping from sofa to the floor or stumbling
on the carpet, is sufficient to cause the
breaking of bone. The doctor thinks
that the girls bones consist merely of
hollow shells. The broken bones have
knit together in uncouth shapes, and
the girls limbs are, in consequence,
dreadfully deformed.

Penelope. Jr., opened the door for him.
i am very glad" she whispered hearth
ly, pressing his hand in her eager, girl
ish fashion. Il always thought you
would suit each other" And before he
could find words to respond THAT last
remark being rather hard upon him,
considering the circumstances) led him
quickly to the parlor, and shutting the
door softly, went away.
Behold your UIyssesi' he said with a
forced gayety, very foreign to his self
assured manner. But as he saw the
small shrinking figure, the thin face
flushed, the hands roughened and
stained with many years of willing labor
for others, twisting each other nervous
ly, and thought of the constant self
sacrifice and repression she had endured
80 long and so patiently, great wave
of pity, very nigh akin to love, swept
over his heart, and he put out both
hands with protecting gesture to meet
hers, saying earnestly, "Let US cast in
our lots together, Penelope, and try to
be good to one another"
Then Miss Penelope broke down
utterly, and cried great tears of Joy and
thankfulness, but this time they fell up
on the shoulder of the doctors best coat,
and Penelope, Jr., was not needed as
comforter.
This all happened some time ago, and
one wonld scarcely recognize the staid,
prim Miss Penelope in the sweet faced
placid little lady who rules DR.. Sher-
burne's house. In her new life she has
expanded and blossomed into grace
and fitness that seemed impossible.
DIR. Hardy has fallen asleeep," and she
is free to give ali her love and care to
her husband.
Pansy Is married, and comes some
times IN the summer to visit them, with
her children. The gossips said, what
possessed DR.. Sherburne to marry
that old maid, when he might have had
better for the asking?"
But DR.. joel keeps his secret, and is
quite content. He frequently says,
with merry twinkle in his eyes,
There is divinity that shapes our
ends, rough hew them how we will
Twas lucky day for me, Penny, when
that letter of mine reached you."
And Mrs. Joel accepts the comp,i-
ment, blushing, and looking SIS happy
over IT as if she had never heard the re-
marx before.

ALONE WITH CONSCIENCE.

I sat alone with my conscience
In place where time had ceased.
And we talked of my former living
In the land where the years increased;
And felt that / should have TO answer
The question il put TO me,
And % face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight,
And things that | thought were dead things
We're alive with a terrible might;
and the vision of all my past life
Was an awful thing TO face,
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
And thought Of PARKWAY warning,
OF q sorrow that was TO be mine;
In e land that then was thefuture
And now is the present time;
And thought OF my former thinking,
OF the judgment day TO be-
Eut sitting alone with my conscience
seemed judgment e"ough for me.
And wondered ifthere was future
To this land beyond the grave,
But no one gave me an answer
And no one can come to save
Then felt that the future was present
And the present would never 20 by,
For 1t was bui the thought Of my past life
Grown into eternity
Then woke from my timely dreaming
And the vision passed away,
Aud knew that the far away warning
Was warning Of yesterday.
And pray that I may not forget II
In this land before the grave,
That may not cry out In the future
And no one come 10 save,
And 50 / have learnt lesson
Which l ought 30 have known De'O-e,
And which, though ! learnt ii dreaming
hope TO forget no more.
20 I sit alone with my conscience
In the place where he years increase,
And / try to think of the future
In the land where time shall cease.
And know of the future judgment
How dreadful soccer il be
That to sit alone with my conscience
VIII be Judgment enough for me.

Mr.. COlfax as a Story Reader.

From the South Bend Qnd.) Tribune.J
MIR. Colfa1 was an omnivorous reader
OF novels and stories. Good, bad and
indifferent, he read them ALL 81 never
read one SO worthless but I found some
good thought in it," he said. This
story reading was not confined to books,
to the Seaside and Lowell libraries,
and to the serials in magazines. He
rarely picked up a country newspaper
that he did not turn to the story page.
If the story came up to his ideal he cut
it out, wrote the credit, if original in
the paper from which ne clipped it, and
brought it home. We now have scores
OF such short stories he brought us and
have printed hundreds of them in the
Tribune in the past dozen years.
Short, sketchy Stories" he often said,
ARE the great need of journalism" and,
with the instinct OF an old journalist,
his eyes were ever in search of them.

THOSE having the care of the sick
often waken them unintentionally when
making up the FIRE. Putting IN Jumps
Of coal with the fingers, one by one,
will avoid this, but is dirty and unpleas-
ant. This difficulty can easily be gotten
over by the simple plan of placing
scoopfuls of coal in small paper bags.
The lifting of one OF these bags on the
fire is poiseless as well as clean. When
the FIRE grows very low, almost out in
fact, sprinkle of powdered sugar on it
has a magical effect, producing a fame
directly. In these days, when good
trained nurses are in such demand, it is
well to make note of such simple means
of making sick-room as comfortable as
care and forethought can do.

BeggarY in Portugal.

Plentiful as beggars are throughout
Portugal. there is absolutely no gov
eminent supervision or any attempt at a
poor law system, and, although mendici-
ty is forbidden by law, even Lisbon
itself is infested by professional mendi-
cants. The evil is still worse IN the
country. where indiscriminate charity

Lisbon and Oporto each contain lunatic

IT is worth lecollecting that bar-soap

put into a dry place, as it keeps better
after shrinking.
BY rubbing with a damp flannel
dipped in the best whiting, the brown

and meal equal proportions.
IT is said that il teaspoonful OF
mustard is mixed with water and mo-
lasses, which is usually poured over
baked beans, there is no danger of the
stomach being distressed after eating
them.
A MOST sppetizing salad is made of
raw oysters mixed with an equal guam

served with a mayonnaise dressing.
The oysters may be cut in halves or

RUB your black walnut sewing ma

improvement, but keep it away from

AN easy and perfectly satisfactory
way to cook a custard is to put it into a
pudding dish or tin basin, and set it in
to pan of hot water placed in a mod
erately hot oven. About half an hours
cooking will be required, and there is
not the least danger of burning.
