At teachers examination in Jones
county, Iowa, in answer to the question,
"What is hygiene? ?" young lady applicant
for certificate to teach school answered
sit is the soft spot on the top of baby S
head which gradually becomes harder as
the baby grows older" The board of
directors rejected her application, evidently
believing that the "hygiene" on top of the
young lady's head had not sufficiently har-
dened to qualify her for the stern duties of
a teacher.

St. Leonard's Lion-Hearted Lad.

In the Bodleian Library, at Oxford, is a
most touching record of heroism and self
sacrifice Oh. the part of a child-a record
to touch ones heart with its pathos. The
tower door of St. Leonards Church,
Bridgewater, England, was left open and
two young boys, wandering in, were tempt
ed to mount to the upper part and scram-
BILE from beam to beam. All at once a
joist gave way. The beam on which they
were standing became displaced. The
elder had just time to grasp it when falling,
while the younger, slipping over his body,
caught hold of his comrades legs! In
this position the poor lads hung, crying
vainly for help, for no one was near. At
length the boy clinging to the beam be-
came exhausted. He could no longer sup
port the weight. He called out to the lad
below that they were both done for.
"Could you save yourself if I were to loose
you," replied the little lad. II think l
could" returned the older. ''Then good
by, and God bless you !" replied the little
fellow, loosing his hold. Another second
and he was dashed to pieces on the stone
floor below. His companion clambered to-
place of safety.-Tfoy (N. " Budget,

Linseed oil will preserve many articles
if properly applied. Wheelwrights can
save their stock from worms by oiling with
it. Single trees, double trees, neckyokes,
spokes and crossbars that are of white
hickory, and are kept in stock for year
or more, will be eaten by worms if not
kept in dark place, or otherwise protected.
Coal or kerosene oil are good also, and the
expense of applying is but little. Linseed
oil is preferable, as it acts to some extent
as a wood filler.

The ravages of a new green bug are causing a steady and increasing decline in coffee production in Ceylon.
 Experiments made last year by Russians in the cultivation of cotton in the districts of the Lower Don are said to have been so successful that Russia is likely to be competitor in the cot ton-producing market in few years.
 A triumph in electric lighting was achieved recently in Vienna, when, during performance at the opera, more than six thousand seventeen candle power lamps were burning for more than four hours without a flicker from first to last.
 Glass floors are coming into very general use in Paris. Although they cost more at first, they are found cheaper in the end. The room below can often dispense with artificial light, and there is far less fire risk. Glass, too, will outwear wood many times.
 The Berlin Homeopathic Society recently learned that it was the custom of many druggists to put up on homoeo- pathic prescriptions merely some sim pie compound and label it as whatever was wanted. To test this eighty diff ferent burlesque prescriptions were written out in Latin and sent to as many different druggists. Seventy-sev- en out of the eighty swallowed the bait, and put up what purported to be the dose required by the bogus pre- scriptions. The other three sent the prescriptions back, with the remark that they did not understand them.
 In Denmark it is becoming GUS tomary for friends to send to the rela- tives of person who has died what is called Good Works Card" in place of the usual EOral tributes. These cards are of white pasteboard, printed in silver, and are issued by various charitable organizations. On each card is the name of the society which issues it; in the center is an ivy wreath on which the name of the deceased may be written; and at the foot is the name of the sender. The cards are sold in bookstores for a moderate sum.
 Silly mothers in the fashionable circles of Paris have aroused the in- dignation of the medical profession by the horrors of face painting to little children. In the public gar dens babies of three years old may be seen whose eyebrows have been blacked or dyed. Other anxious parents, dis tressed at the vulgarly ruddy and rus tic hue of their children's cheeks, care fully powder them before sending them out. Little coquettes of ten years are not permitted to go abroad until the regulation black stroke has been paint ed beneath their eyes. The doctors warn the mothers that when the chil- dren thus barbarously treated reach the age of sixteen they will have col orless and ruined complexion, to say

How whalers In the Arctic Ocean Get
 Their Reading Matter.
 "What do we do with so many old papers? Send them up to the Arctic ocean"
 It was the proprietor of an outfitting store on Pacific street, and he was an- swering the inquiry of the reporter as to what he wanted of five thousand old pictorial and story papers for which he had advertised.
 ''To the Arctic ocean! And what do you do with them thereP"
 "We send them up to the sailors on whaling voyages. About three hum dred sailors, engaged through us, are up there half the year, and to each one of these we send at least fifteen papers every season. They are glad to get most any thing in the shape of pa- per, but most of them like magazines better than any thing else.
 Do you depend entirely on the an- swers to your advertisements for your stock of papers?'
 "No; we go to each weekly and daily, and get back numbers. And then we send to each of the one of the newspapers in this city, both sailors a few of the current issues of the city papers. These papers came here in answer to our advertisement" and he put his hand on a stack three feet high. Some of the numbers. dated back eight or nine years.
 Here is another stack of papers," and he pointed to heap of papers two feet tall, ''that is ready to be done up in bundles, one for each ship"
 Those letters, do they also go?" A long box full of yellow envenlopes, each with a superscription to somebody on some whale-ship, "Arctic Ocean," lay beside the papers.
 ''Yes, we send each year one letter to each man. Of course, they like to know what is going on here, and we write general account of matters of interest and personal gossip, and whatever we think the men would like to know"
 You don't write a different individ- ual letter to each man, do you?"
 "Oh, no. We bunch them as much as possible, and make the same letter in duplicate do for several men. These letters are all ready to be sent up next week, but it will be about a month be-  fore the papers and letters are all fixed up and started off.

W. then sued the railroad company and the palace car company for dam ages, alleging that the porter was the agent of both companies, and was act ing within the line of his duty. The case against the palace car company was decided against w. on the ground that he was not on the palace car under any contract with that company, and on the trial of the case against the railroad company he was also defeated on the ground that when he was injured by the porter he was a trespasser on the palace car, and was acting outside of his con- tract, and, therefore, could not recover hereunder. The case, Williams vs. The Pullman Palace Car Company and the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas Railroad Company, was carried to the Supreme Court of Louisiana, where the judgment was reversed, and a judgment entered for Williams for $1, 1000. Judge Poche, in the opinion, said:
 ''We shall follow the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, and those of the State courts, upon the question, since we are of the opin- ion that it is of broad interest to the country, and one upon which the rule should be uniform. Passengers on train may assume that all the employees 0f road company; that the entire train, palace cars and all, were run under the control of the company. The contract with palace-car company, or any like organization, is subordinate to the contract of carriages with the railroad company, and included therein. The porter here must, therefore, be held to be the servant, agent or employe of the railroad company. But it is contended that, admitting this liability of the rail road company, it is not liable for a personal assault by this porter, for in making the assault he was not acting in the scope of his authority. The en- ployes of a railroad company are bound to secure the safety of the passengers on the train. The company is liable in damages for any injuries suffered by passenger by reason of the negligence of any of it's agents, and it is equally clear and logical that this liability ex- tends to and embraces injuries inflicted upon a passenger by means of a willful and malicious assault made by an en- ploye upon him. The plaintiff was not a trespasser on the palace car when he asked permission of the porter to wash his hands in the basin of the palace car, and the railroad company must respond in damages therefor. ."-St. Louis Globe Democrat,

SOCIAL BOOKKEEPING.
How Mrs. Justice Miller Keeps an Account
 of Her Society Obligations.

How Mrs. Justice Miller Keeps an Account
 of Her Society Obligations.
 "How do you keep accounts of society obligations?" was asked of Mrs. Jus tice Miller.
 "Well, the first thing is to enter the names of all ladies calling and leaving their cards, their addresses, when given, the day they called, the day they receive, and something about them, when they are strangers to you. This is the foundation of your scheme. Then you follow it up by crediting your return visit and making any notes respecting the parties to guide your future action.
 During the season every morning the first thing is to get out the list and go over it. First it is necessary to note the class of receptions in rule for that day. Then to classify the persons of that class who have left their cards, then the date of their call and their dresses must be made out for the coach man. Thus fortified, lady in society starts out Mondays for the houses of the ladies of the Supreme Court; Tues days to take up the Representatives ladies and K street; Wednesdays for Cabinet ladies; Thursdays for Senator's ladies, and Fridays taking in the West End and army and navy ladies. For each of these days of the week list must be made out and separate one for each week. It can be seen what difficult task it is to perform the simple physical labor of so much writing, not to speak of the difficulty of avoiding mistakes, which might place lady in a very embar- rassing position.
 Saturday is regarded as a public and not social day. Formerly the re- ceiving wives of the diplomats were at home on that day. It has long been the drawing-room day of the wife of the President, and latterly also of Con- necticut avenue. When Mrs. Secre- tary Manning was here she made great exertions to have Saturday made so- ciety day at the Executive Mansion, some other time being set apart for the general public who throng there to pass before the lady of the White House, but she could not bring it about. It would give great pleasure to ladies in society who often have visiting friends here and desire to make so- cial call on the lady of the Mansion and would take that opportunity to do so, but who are not willing to be jammed and jostled by such great throng as gather there now. I think that some method will be devised be- fore long so that there will be a so- ciety and a public day for the lady of the White House.
 ''The fact is Washington has become a great social metropolis. There are many customs which answered well enough twenty-five years ago which must be amended and adapted sooner or later to meet the necessities of new conditions. "- WdSbingtOn Letter.

LINEN DRESS GOODS.

Fabrics Whose Goodness Is Grateful to the
 Senses in Hot Weather.
 Since the times when purple and fine linen' were the acme of elegance in apparel, linen has retained place aS the pleasantest of all material for summer wear, notwithstanding the countless array of diaphanous and airy fabrics in cotton, woolen and silks.
 There is nothing ''clinging" about them. It is fabric whose ''cool re- serven is grateful to the senses in hot weather, and if it becomes limp and discouraged with wear, it can readily be restored in the laundry and made to assume it's first freshness.
 Linen ginghams are charming for morning wear, and their simplicity may be relieved with embroidery and ribbon so that they become really dressy. The newest goods in this line, however, are the linen damasses, woven like gingham, but in designs re- sembling print, and which-also like gingham-are not all linen, but with the colored threads of cotton. Stripes, checks and fancy plaids in gray, wood color, brown, blue, red, and several pretty color combinations, predomi- nate, yet the effect when made up is quite as pleasing and satisfactory as the figured goods of seasons past.
 The woven linens are also in stripes and plaids of colors contrasted with white, but these are all linen, and are the most durable of all similar fabrics. These are used not only for morning dresses, but for boys shirt-waists and blouses, and for this purpose are pre- ferred to the figured linen cambrics and percales, although the latter are used, especially in dark shades of blue .-- Dem0rest's MoatbIV,
