Helps to Somebody.

Press the finger against the upper lip,
close to the nostrils, to prevent sneeze.
Strike n clock, then put on the hands at
the hour struck, in order to have them cor
respond.
For cramp in the feet, press the hollow
of the foot against something hard and
round. A broom handle Is the best thing.
Add to the covered brick used as a weight
for holding a door open a strip of the cov-
ering sewed strongly to the sides and raised
just enough to admit the foot then lift it
by the toes and save STOPPING.
An aid In making button-holes In a gar
ment which trays badly is to take piece Of
glue that has q smooth and rather thick
edge, dip it slightly in hot water and pass
lightly over the goods before cutting the
button-holes. The result will be satisfac-
tory.
In putting away summer or winter cloth
ing for the season label all packages on the
outside and keep handy memorandum
book with the contents of each trunk,
drawer or closet specified; 1t will prove a
saver Of time and veXation. One often
forgets just where a bundle, or mittens or
scarfs, etc, were put, especially II the ac-
customed place has been changed.
Keep, If you can, a closet for the sole use
Of medicines and appliances for sickness or
accident. A narrow, high, chimney-side
closet answers the purpose admirably, with
shelves half way down, and deep drawers
to I'll the remaining space. Bundles Of old,
soft cotton and linen pieces, a roll of cotton
batting and flannel, the rubber water bag,
medicine dropper, bed-pan and feeding-cup
and everything needed In an emergency Of
long sickness. Have every vial plainly
labeled; those marked poison place always
on the upper shelf Keep the whole under
lock and key, the key beyond the reach OF
children, but easily accessessible TO the
older members Of the family.-LGood

What the "Church Union" says.

President Brewer and officers of the
Washington Life may pride themselves on
the success which has attended their COM
pany during the twenty-five years OF its eX
istence. Judicious management, carefully
invested funds, which have turned, as II
were, into gold. From the official report of
January last we find the company to be
possessed Of assets of the best character,
amounting to 7,304;909.S4, with liabilities
to policy-holders of 81, ,474, 1H.61, leaving
surplus as regards policy-holders of $780,
7Gs.23. The income of the Washin gton last
year, from all sources, was $l,775, ,333.79.
The company paid out for losses and ma
tured endowments during the same
period, 1896, ,sG5.00. Cash paid to an-
nuitants, $3,110.23 The company also
paid for surrendered policies, ETC., $3l3,-
45S.46, with a cash dividend to policy
holders of 1894 ,S69, and return premiums,
Sl,33S. II, making total payment to policy
holders Of 81, l49, ,640S0. The company has
greatly increased its business this year SO
far, so that at the next annual report the as
sets will not fall short of ten millions, thus
showing that the Washington Life was cor
rectly named, If we may judge from the
financial success which seems to follow.
For twenty-five years this life company has
been before the public and 1t has never
failed in the faithful performance of what
il agrees to do in issuing n policy on the
life of the pollcy-holder. The Washington
furnishes life insurance at price but
little more than the actual net cost of
the insurance. The Washington has n
good paying and increasing business on its
books, II is managed with strict economy
and consumnate skill and vigor, it has a iirsti
class position In the life insurance world,
and that position will be continually in
creasing to still more prominent one.
Such are few facts of the financial con-
dition of the Washington Life, which we
wish to lay before our readers. The OIL
GERS of the company are w. A. Brewer, jr =,
President w. HaXtun, Vice-President; L.
S. French, Superintendent of Agencies;
James L. Waugh, General Agent.

now CANES ARE CARRIED.


way People Have of hnking Ihclr
sticks Odious.
A middlc.aged man of business, a
ranl, president, or any of that kind of
men, will walk moderately fast on
weekday and strike his cane upon the
pavement at an average of one stroke to
every three steps. As soon as he strikes
the cane upon the walk he will raise IL
to a nearly horizontal position, pointing
directly ahead, but as soon as the stick
gets at the proper height IL will begin
the descent again, and so long as he
walks the cane will be in perpetual
motion.
On Sunday this class of gentlemen
will walk slowly and with comfort
able, self-satisfied air, if they've been
making money during the week, but
the cane will move just about the same.
There is very large number of men
who carry canes, but who very seldom
use them in walking. Their great
hobby is TO thrust the stick under one
arm, with the longest portion protruding
from the rear. When they 90 through
a crowd in the street or anywhere else,
everybody behind them IS IN mortal
fear of having an eye or two or three
teeth knocked out
When one of these gentlemen jumps
upon street car with one or two men
standing upon the step those men are
apt to literally get 1t in the neck. "
When they don dodge adroitly enough
as the gentleman swings around they
often get a rap in the jaw.
These gentlemen with the canes do
great execution when they go into
cigar store for n smoke. They will
lean over the glass case and the cane
will keep everybody else away until
they have selected their cigars and
lighted them. Then they back away
from the case and punch everybody in
the ribs as they go out.
A dude probably makes less trouble
with cane than anybody else. He
will generally carry it perpendicular,
with the head nearly on a level with
his chin, and he will seldom move it
from that position unless he desires to
change hands Denver Tribune.

The recent safe burglary at Burchell's
grocery story, right in the heart of the city,
and the numerous thefts of valuables from
the residences of our citizens, together with
the statement from the police authorities
that many thieves are gathering here with
the crowd usual upon the assembling OF
Congress, is important warning TO our citi-

themselves accordingly. The Washington

The Traits of the yDorpoisc.

it's porpoise. Cape Coddcrs call them

care porpoises good for anything ?"
"Good for anything? Why, bless you,
yes. Their meat is splendid eating, and
makes just as good mince meat as any bit

is great for rheumatism. Take some of the
oil and put 1t on your hand and it'll soak
