and slattern Housekeeping
Pe,bopS we find as many kinds OIL
bonsekeeners as there are ladies who
have houses to keep. But this art is SO
many-sided that it may not be un'n,
teresting to take an occasional g'a"o0
at it through other eyes than our own
Comparatively few of the ladies OF our
land have wealth sufficient to secure
competent assistants. Consequently
upon the lady of the house devolVeS inc
greater part of this work, have Wis,
tied many different homes no TWO Oh
which could ever be called alike otIl'
perhaps, they all belong to the same
general family.
There is the '~'over-neat houseAeep-
or who stands, as it were. with apron
an and ~whisk-broom in hand, her Keen
owe ever on the alert to catch the
f%aintcst suspicion of dust, after when
she will start as if it were the ghost OF
her tormentor. | remember one OF
this class whose horror at the presence
of n stray flies in her closely screened
dininr-room led her to drive her hns-
hand and family into n small, tncon-
venlcnt room for their meals, where
the waitress found it impossible to
serve them comfortably, all for fear
that her spacious dining-room might
be soiled by ny-specks, or by constant
use. have seen another such house
keeper whose family were compelled
to change their shoes on the porch IN
the sunny andthe cloudy weather alike,
all the wear round, lest a particle OF
dirt should be brought in to soil her
handsome carpets. Such ~houSekcepcrs
are always in a steaming worry, and
for fear that something may go wrong
contrary to order, or that something
untldy may be detected.
In other cases we find the direct OPP
posite of this clasS-the slattern, which
to some may be a less desirable type
than the oyer-neat. In such houses
the servants are very often "Leeylng,
ma'am.' the mistress quietly leaving
the work of the absent to those who
are left. usually to their intense dis
gust, she herself taking no responsible
ity if it can possibly be turned off on
another. In such houses meals are
never on time, unless some cook has
been secured who will attend to her
own duties, without the care of her
mistress.
But there isa happy medium between
these two eXtremes-and many there
be who find it so. The true and wise
woman lays her plans for the daily
duties of home with as much are as
that with which the business man
| guards the details of his counting-room
or of his office. In her marketing and
arranging family supplies she is famil-
lar with her work and is able to stop
the many little leaks which would be
overlooked by the careless or by the
Indifferent. Every detail of her work
is ably planned and s%yStematizcd. She
trains her servants, and, in most cases,
ttev are more than satisfied with the
guiding power of a mistress whom they
instinctively know is fully competent
to direct.-M ". CandCe, IN Phjiaael-

The Rebuttal Evidence of the Condition Of

Gus and C%areworn.
ST. Louis, June In the Maxwell trial
yesterday rebuttal testimony was taken.
Superintendent Ryan, of the Morgue, testi-
fed to the late exhumatiOn of the victims
remains and to the medical examination of
the parts which Maxwell stated were af-
fected, DR., F.. f. Prewitt, Professor of
Surgery of the Missouri Medical College,
was next called. lie described the dissection
which was made and declared that the
membrane which Maxwell testified was dis
eased or injured, was sound and clean and
gave not the slightest evidence of lesion, in.
Illumination, or of even the slightest alb
normal or diseased condition. He stated
that the gland, which would show whether
or not the dead man was addicted to the
vile habit as claimed by Maxwell, was in
an absolutely normal condition. DR.. James
c. Nidelet followed and corroborated DIR.
Prewitt fully, as did DR.. Brokaw.

HANDLING BEES.
anv Person with Quiet Nerves Can DO 1t
with IMMUNITY.

~ ''iT'' "''' S'''' 49, " >'' ~ ~
with Impunity.
That some people can handle bees
peter than others can not be denied,
nut such are exceptions and not the
Yale. The rule is that one can handle
the ''pesky critters as well as another
if he will keep his nerves quiet and
learn the knack of it. Bees can not be
driven with a whip or frightened with
loud words and furious gestures as any
one Fan easily find out by trying, but
hero is a way OF driving them to sub
lection when they can be handled and
the hive manipulated with perfect ease
and safety.
Bees when swarming are good-na-
tured and gentle, because just before
starting on their journey, which may
last days, they fill themselves with
honey, and are consequently in an
amiable mood like the average man
after a hearty meal. If, therefore, at
any other time bees can be made to
gorge themselves with honey they will
become good-natured and harmless, and
instead OF the terrors they were TO the
uninitiated n few minutes before, they
can be driven to any part of the hive,
or out of it, or shaken from the combs
and poured from one box to another
like 81 many hpana Tho mnanG of az
comprising this result is smoke. Blow
a puff of smoke in at the entrance of
the hive and you will see the bees rush
for the honey cells. and, diving in head
foremost, soon their distended bodies
show them to be full of honey. The
hive can then be opened and any neces-
sary work done with no fear of stings.
provided the operator keeps cool and
works carefully.
Should the bees at any time show a
disposition to leave the tops of the
combs and fly, give them another puff
of smoke, and they will at once be-
come quiet. In like manner they can
be driven as far as necessary. Bellows
smokers, consisting of a tin receptacle
for the fuel, attached to and having a
connection with a bellows, are sold bv
all dealers in apiarian supplies atprices
varying from fifty cents to two dollars,
and are Indispensable in an apiary.
Rags and punk are both used for and
make good fuel.-Cor. Congregations

FIFTH DAYS SESSION.

''
CLEVELAND, May 31.-The four hours
session Of the General Assembly of the
Knights of Labor Saturday morning was
passed in the discussion of the motion made
Friday to refer the report of the Executive
Board on the relation of the order to trades
unions to the Committee on State of the
Order. Speeches were made by anumber of
leading members and from their tenor it is
certain that the trades unions will not get
all they ask. 1t is more than probable that
the affair will remain unsettled.
After a short discussion the whole matter
was referred to the committee and a few
moments later Mrs. Sarah NJ. Perkins, of
this city, appeared at the door of the ante
room to the convention hall and sent a note
to Mr.. Powderly saying that she had been
delegated by the Ohio WOman's Suffrage
Association to present an address to the
General Assembly. A recess was taken to
admit the lady and Mrs. Perkins was es-
corted to the platform and introduced to the
convention. The lady's remarks were well
received and generous applause followed as
she was escorted from the room by the re-
ceptiOn committee of three delegates.
The committee on laws second PROPOSE

praCt cable unattached local assemblies

A committee of two was appointed to
draft suitable documents to be forwarded to

to respond to the telegram received from the

Two individuals were observed in close conversation last evening, in the office of the grand old man." The fellow with the flowing silken beard asked, in tones of thunder:
 "Why, judge, do you stand the doings of that d--d Dunbar? Why, sir, if it was me, would kill him. I came near killing a man for the same thing here, once; and would have succeeded, had it not been for Castello. tell you, I am fighter, am."
 "You fighter" interrupted the C. 0. M. "Why, you d-d coward, you wouldn't fight a woman. You, sir, talk about killing people. Well, I'll be d-d." And the leader of the hoodlums cast a look of scorn at the braggart and qui. etly opened the door for his pugilistie friend to depart, in pity.
