The Investigation of the accounts of the signal
service by the House committee ON expendi-
lures in the War department has ended as such
things commonly end. The mountain has
labored with many signs and groans, and
brought forth a ridiculous mouse of a report to
the effect that, although all the expenditures of
the chief signal officer have NOS been expressly
authorized by law, there Is evidence to sus-
tain a charge of corruption. The committee
recommend that the province of the signal ser
vice be more clearly defined by statute This
would undoubtedly be good idea, but another
and further-reaching reform would be a revision
Of the general system Of checks and balances
on government expenditure, that public
officers and the business men they deal with
viii not be reduced TO the sorry choice between
q technical Justification of accounts and pal

Surviving SUDerStitiOuS.

Dr. Arnold Schafft, II Popular Science McnthIy
The many occasions where thirteen
have dined together and no one of the
number has died within the time pre-
scribed land how often does this not oc-
cur in inns and other public places, and
no one gives the matter thOughtO
these instances are, of course, complete
ly ignored. A patient, who may have con-
suited several physicians without exper-
fencing relief, finally turns to one of the
many patent medicines advertised in the
papers. After q time he feels better;
perhaps the improvement is but temper
airy, as is so often the case in troubles of
long standing, but then, oftentimes urg-
ed thereto by the prOprietOrs of the won
derful medicine, he writes a letter of
thanks, and anon the papers will herald
the announcement, "Sure cure to all I'M
fortunates by the famous cure all, -
and then comes some pOmpOus name.
Other patients think a great deal of the
so-called ''sympathetic" cures. When the
moon is on the wane they go to a grave
yard, taking care to speak to no one on
the way, or they throw barley grains over
their head backward into the water,
meantime muttering some Incarnation.
If the believers in these cures be ques-
toned as to how they can place faith in
such wonderous arts, they will refer to
certain instances where such means have
been successfully employed; but of course
they can trace absolutely no connection
whatever between the remedy and its sup
posed effects.
Prophecies of a similar kind, that do
not, however, exactly refer to natural
phenomena, can only be mentioned here.
Thus, a northen light or comet is
said to be the forerunner of war. The
relative position of certain stars at the
birth of child is by the superstitious,
said to bode good or evil. If new piece
of work be commenced while the moon is
on the wane, or on Friday, the under
taking is doomed to fail. The belief in
good and evil omens has survived thou
sands of years, and has come down to
the present day; III fact, the influence
which this belief has on the mind can
only be shaken off by calm reasoning
and self-training. Many other instances
of superstition, still in vogue in our en-
ligtened times, might readily be given.
All these are false conclusions derived
in the same manner: post hoe, ergo
propter hoe latter it, therefore because
of it). careful comparison of different
cases is not undertaken, no close scrutiny
or investigation is attempted, no dis
tinction made between essential and non
essential CON 1i+ionc

Advice to Country Girls.
Reading (Pa.) Times.

City life is not all that it Is painted. 1t
has It's pleasures and conveniences. but it
also has its serious drawbacks. Before
making the plunge into life in the city
country girls should ask themselvef what
is really to be gained by it.
Perhaps in their quiet rural homes
some stray advertisement has reached
them, promising young women high sal
cries for light work. Hundreds of these
advertisements are framed for the very
purpose of deceiving the unwary. They
accomplish their purpose, however, and
large numbers of young girls rush up to
the city, dazzled by the generous profus-
ion Of promises.
A girl from the farm answers one of
these advertisements. Life may have
been slow at home, but there was always
good food and in plenty, and there was
some one to care for in the old farm
house. When she goes to the big city she
finds that the slight work" consists in
working all day in a badly lighted and
il-smelling workshop, where scores of
other girls and women are employed at
wages hardly high enough to keep body
and soul together.
We know what often comes next. The
girl has left home; she is ashamed or I'm
willing to return, and she must take the con-
sequences, ofttimes of one or two things
shame or suffering. Many girl finds,
first in the frivolities and next in the in
EQUITY of the streets, that excitement by
which regrets and remorse may be dead

water washing off the hair in clean water
afterwards. Strong ammonia water will
also remove the oily deposits from hair
brushes, and, when we'll rinsed and dried
IN the sun with the bristles down, will be
found as good as new" In the laundry
there is nothing so harmless and helpful
as ammonia. A few spoonfuls in the
washing water makes the labor light and
the clothes white, and there is no danger
of injury to the fabrics, as in the use of
soda, lime or javelle water. A very SUI
per1or and simple washing fluid is made
OF equal parts of ammonia and spirits of
turpentlne. 1t makes rubbing almost I'M
necessary. while it whitens the clothes
without injury. A few spoonfuls should
be added to the clothes In boiling as we'll
as washing.
cold Jewelry washed in ammonia water,
with brush to reach the corners and
creVlces, will look equal to new. A little
aooed TO the water for house plants makes
Them healthy and fiourishing, while the
liberal use of 1t keeps the kitchen utensils
IN a sweet condition, removes greese and
all unpleasant odors. For cleaning paint,
use flannel cloth, two spoonfuls of am
mona to three quarts of water and no
soap will be needed. Sponge off mirrors
with ammonia water and polish with
soft newspaper. Used nearly clear it will
remove grease spots from the carpets or
fabric.

"Do you suppose I would even men

of tears as he bent over Aunt Mary's chain
and took Nettie's hand.
ut was tearing my heart from my

she sprang up, with a cry of joyous sur.

she said, humbly. "We will go back tc

Hard on the Monkey.
Buffalo Express.

Dennis Reagan is now living in fat
which overlooks the Lackawanna tracks.
Across the street lives an Italian noble
man in aeduced circumstances, who ekes
out his poor existence with the aid of a
poor monkey and a worse hand-organ.
To Garibaldi comes Dennis one evening,
and, after passing the time of day, warns
up to the subject on hand
"Av ye PLACE, Misther GaribaIdi," says
Dennis in his most unctious and wheed-
ling tone. 'wud We have any objections to
leanin' me yer monkey fer an hour or two
iviry mornin'?''
''What-a for you want a munk?" inquir-
ed the count.
''Niver ye mind" replied Dennis
"What wild ye charge mornin' for the
use Nv him?''
The count suggested that 10 cents an
hour would be the proper figure, after
vainly attempting to find out what Den
mis- was going to do with the monkey.
Dennis haggled and tried to beat the
italian down, but Garibaldi wouldn't have
it that way, and the deal was closed at his
figure.
Everything went beautifully for a few
days. The money was paid promptly and
the monkey was returned regularly in
time not to interfere with the require
ments of the counts profession. To be
sure, the animal looked little hallow-
eyed and careworn, but in the main was
in good condition.
Finally, however, the IsaIian's curiosity
got the better of his averice, and he told
Dennis that the monkey would not be
loaned any more.
This announcement had a most depress-
ing effect on Dennis. His megatherian
intellect rose TO the energy, though, and
he proceeded to effect one of those mas
terly financial coups which dazzle people
who are not familiar with the workings of
the capitalistic mind.
"Garrybaldy," said Dennis, "av yen
promise to act square and not give the
racket away, TIL be after takin' ye into
partnership and gin ye half the profits
for the use of the monkey"
"All-a-right," said the Italian.
At this the new partners shook hands,
and each took a pull out of the can of
beer which Dennis warily provided to
lubricate the negotiations. Then Dennis,
in his customary lordly manner, put his
arm through the Italians and together
they sauntered over to the back yard of
the house to where Dennis lived.
Dye see tibet there pole, Garry?" in
quired Dennis, pointing to a pole some
fifteen feet high surm ounted by a cross
piece.
The Italian couldn't very well help see
ing it, and remarked that it was within
the range of his vision.
'Dy'e know phwat there is beyant the
fence?" said Dennis. ''Thim's the rail-
roak thracks. Now thin, Garry, this is the
snap: Early in the mornin' whin the
coal trains begins to come in I put the
munkey on the pole. The brakesmin is
all out on the cars ready to go up the
thristIes. livery mothers son of thin
filings two or three pieces of coal at the

A Scotchman Never Tries Eggs.
S.. James Gazette.

The council of hygience in the depart
ment of the Seine have been taking the
great egg question into consideration.
Among their discoveries are these: that
comparatively few persons prefer their
eggs in the earlier stage of decomposi-
tion," certain extent, that bad egg can
be distinguished by its smell, and that
where you have choice between fresh
egg and rotten one it is on the whole
advisable to prefer the former. Stale
eggs can be used by bakers thought
as much-but very bad eggs should be de-
stroyed. tThese revelations are note
worthy, but evidently the council are IN
aware of one use to which an egg can be
put. In a country which hardly requires
be mentioned eggs are sometimes served
on Sunday in the inns to the guests, who,
on account of certain act of parliament
dare not call for a drink" These eggs
are full of whisky, the meat having been
blown out and the whisky put in its place
Then the egg is Theoretically sealed and
ready for use. A Scotchman never tires
of eggs.
