What Of the Federal Building.

People are anXiOusly enquiring what
has become Of the new post Office pro-
ject, and the postal clerks who are
crampcd up for room are looking anX-
iOusIy for news and find none. Most pcO-
pie think that MS the appropriation has
long since been made, it is about time
that something was being done. 1t is
said that rCdtupC and prejudice are now
the barriers 10 progress.
The cause of the delay in the settle
ment Of the question as to the site OF the
new federal building for San Antonio is
said to be because the attorney general
is absent from Washington.

household Hints

Lard may be made perfectly sweet by
boiling a pared potato in it.
For poison oak, bake in cream and
gunpowder twice day till cured.
Wash the hair in cold sage tea; it will
keep the hair from falling out.
When food is to be fried have the pan
very hot before the fat is put in and
have the fat hos before beginning to
fry. Then the minimum amount of fat
will be absorbed.
Salt sprnkled on any substance burn
ing on the stove will stop the smoke and
smell. Salt thrown upon Goals blazing
from the fat of broiled chops or ham
will cause the blaze to subside.
Put all the pieces of bread that are
left each day in a pan and dry them in a
moderate oven. They may be beaten
fine in mortar and put away in jars for
breading or pudding. They arc useful
far sitting over creased cake-pans to
prevent the cake from adhering.
If you wish to prevent the unpleasant
odor that arises from boiling cabbage tic
up a piece of stale bread in muslin
cloth and boil with the cabbage. A
piece of stale bread en- the end Of Il
knife with which you are cutting onions
will prevent the juice from affecting the
eyes unpleasantly.

Life in a Snowflake.

Some imaginative and wonderfully
learned German scholars tell us that every
snowflake is inhabited by happy little
beings, who begin their existence, hold
their revels, live long lives Of happiness
and delight, die and are buried, all dur
ing the descent of the snowflake from
the world of clouds to the solid land.
These scholars also tell us that every
square foot of air possesses from twelve
to fifteen million of more or less perfect
little beings, and that at every ordinary
breath we destroy Il million. more or less,
of these happy lives. The sigh of a
healthy lover is supposed to swallow up
about fourteen million They insist that
the dust, which will, as all know, &C
cumulate in the most secure and secret
places. is merely the remains of millions
and billions of these little beings who
have died of old age. All this, of
course, is mere guess-work. But do
know that the snow in some parts of the
world is thickly inhabited. ] have seen
new snow in Idaho black with little in
sects. People there call them snow-t1eas.
They are as lively rs possible, and will
darken your footprints, walk as fast as you
may. They are found only on the high
mountains and only in very fresh and
very deep snow. They, of course, do not
annoy you in any way. They are in
finitey smaller than the ordinary flea,
but they are nota whit less lively in their
locomotion. st. NichoIas.

Symptoms Of Hydrophobia.

With regard Ito the early symptoms
an animal that has the disease invariably
loses its appetite; and though this is
common in the majority Of complaints,
it should not be ignored, but should act
as warning to owners to watch for
other symptoms. which in the case OF
rabies speedily develop. The dogs man.
ner changes; be shows a disposition to
hide himself in corners or under chairs !:
in fact, anywhere, so as to get out OF
sight. Then he will never rest in one
place for long together, but is continual
ly changing his position, and appears to
be constantly on the watch. His bark,
too, is altered, and without provocatiop
he will at times give tongue to dismal
short howl, or to what would perhaps
be better described as half q
howl and half bark. He will gnaw at
anything that comes in his way. If he
be in q room, he will bite at the chair
legs, or the carpet, or at tablecioth,
and if in kennel he will attack the
corners of it. He will also attempt to
masticate stones, and will readily con.
sumo straw and filth of any kind.
Among early symptoms is the disposl-
tion to bite other dogs-in fact, q rabid
animal will unhesitatingly attack dog
or cat with which he may have lived
for years on the most friendly terms.
During the whole time that these symp-
toms are developing themselves the dog
will still remain under his masters or
mistress's control. and will, to certain
extent, obey orders. although, perhaps,
not 50 chcerfuly as usual-a fact which
is, Iexpect, responsible for owners so
often scorning the idea that their pet
animal is victim 10 rabies. London
