DR. DURAND administered sweetened
water to hundred patients. male and

given by mistake a powerful emetic.
The men became instantly violently
sick, the women displayed courage
worthy of Joan of Arc. Man is the

DIR. STORES says that forty-nine out
of fifty of the public teachers of Brook
lyn are women, and he does not see
why the forty-five members of the
board of education should all be men.
Nor do we. The appointment of wo-
men on such boards has elsewhere
tended to take our schools out of poll

Of taste caa b remodeled' and made to
do duty for long time. Eternal vigil
lance is the price Of success for poor
people in dressing well. and it should
DO exercised. as nothing pays better.
Garments can be injured as much by
careless handling when not worn as
when in use. Dresses thrown across
. chair or hung in q crowded ward
robe under other heavy articles will
be creased and injured. Laces gloves
and ribbons tossed into drawer with
other articles will not appear fresh
and neat when worn.
1t Is an excellent rule to carefully
put away every article of apparel as
soon as taken of. Dresses should be
shaken and well brushed, and, if hand
somely and deliberately trimmed, should
be folded. every fold and plat in place,
carefully pinned up in large towel.
and laid in drawer: this is very i'm
portant in order to keep dresses in
shape. or, if preferred to hang them
up. loops should be sewed on the back
of the shoulder, by which they may
hang.
Cloaks, after being brushed, may be
laid in a long drawer, or hung up by q
loop in the back of the neck. Shawls
should be carefully folded in the orig.
inal creases, wrapped in paper or
square cloth, before laying away in q
drawer. Gloves should be pulled out
lengthwise. folded in thin paper and
laid in small box kept for the pur.
pose; laces should be smoothed out and
placed where they will keep clean and
fresh. Walls, ribbons, sashes, silk
handkerchiets and silk stockings will
keep in good condition much longer il
folded in proper shape and laid under
a weight.
Shoes, if thrown around in the dust,
will not last as long or look as well as
when stretched out of the wrinkles,
well brushed and put carefully away.
BOnnets and hats are more easily
spoiled by want of care than almost
any article of dress. They should
not, therefore, be allowed to be about
on tables. or in dusty places unpro-
tected, but as soon as taken from the
head should be brushed, the trimmings
and feathers Strengthened, and laid in
boxes.
Every ladies room should be fur.
nished with q clothes brush, q wisp
broom. a hand brush. a sponge, bot
tie of ammonia. vial each of alcohol
and benzine, also some cleaning fluid
or erasive soap. to aid her in keeping
her wardrobe in order. Another very
necessary item in the care of clothes is
and repairing every article as
it may need it; the time spent in so do
ing is well bestowed, for, besides the
pleasure it gives to always appear in
whole. respectable garments, the
clothes will last twice as long. Every
rip and rent in dresses, skirts or I'M
derclothes should receive attention as
soon as it occurs. The old-time adage,
"A stitch in time saves nine" is well
to remember. Gloves should be mend.
ed as soon as rip appears in the fin
gers, and, if thin and worn in the hand,
may be neatly darned or mended with
. piece from an old glove of the same
color. Woman.

man accordingly said nothing Of his
ma 20 any man anywhere, but locked
up the secret profoundly in his own
bosom Next year. however, he went
again stealthily to visit the suspicious
creature. and the year after that he
visited it q third time and so on, until
the mammoth was at last s fairly
thawed out. and fell on the sand bank
by the shore of the Arctic Ocean.
Then the fisherman. seeing the monster
was really dead. summoned up courage
boldly to cut out the tusks, which he
straightway sold, on business bent, for
fifty roubles to q Russian noble. As to
the body itself. he thought no more in
any way about that, for the. skin and
the flesh being somewhat high, not to
say unpleasant, were not in q condition
to form remarkable commodities.
However. he noticed that his monster
was covered with long hair and thick
wool. and that in general shape it
roughly resembled his own unsophisti-
Gated idea of an elephant. Two years
later a wandering man of science
passed that way on his road to China
with Count Goloyksa. Hearing that a
mammoth had been unearthed, or,
rather. noticed. near the mouth
of the Lena, he turned aside
from his main path to pay his respects
in due form to the prehistoric monster.
He found it, indeed. still recognizable,
but quantum mutatus alb lilo, a bare
and mutilated elephantine corpse, with
scarce fragment of flesh clinging to
the bones of the huge skeleton. The
fishermen around had cut off the mus
cles from the body in great slices to
feed their dogs, and the wolves and
bears had Toasted their fill on the
frozen and unsavory meat of forgot
ten antiquity. There is something
positively appalling in the idea of that
strange beast, preserved SO fresh for
eighty thousand years Con the most
modest computation) that when once
more disentombed it was still fit for
lupine food, and for the matter of that
was very probably cooked and eaten in
part by the unsophisticated Tungusi-
ans themselves in person. But though
most of the flesh had disappeared the
skeleton still remained almost intact,
held together in places by the unde-
cayed fragments; the huge eyes yet
stared wildly from their capacious
sockets. the brain was uninjured with
in the heavy skull, one ear hung UNI
hurt from the side of the head, retain
ing its long tuft of bristly hair, and as
much of the skin had escaped destruc.
ton as ten men could carry away to-
gether. The skeleton was taken to St.
Petersburg and there set up in the
museum of the Imperial academy. It
has frequently sat or stood for its por-
trait since to various artists, and its
presentment in black and
white forms, in fact. the common
of the ordinary woodcuts.
almost all of which are taken from
this earliest, best and most perfect
specimen. The only doubtful point
about the beast is the tusks. They

HOW TO MAKE BUTTER.

Rules Formulated by . Committee Of the
New York Dairy Society.
The following are the directions for
making butter. according to the COM
mittee appointed for the purpose by
the late conference of the New York
dairymen:
1t is important that the cows should
be adapted to the purpose. The breed
should contain the proper elements for
making butter. As proper feed they
recommend q mixture of bran, corn,
oats. mill-feed and peas, with small
amount of linseed and seed-meaL This
feed should be mixed in proper proper
lions. The COWS should be fed and
MIXED with regularity. The water
should be pure, the stables well venti-
lated, the COWS kept clean, and the
most careful and painstaking care had
in all places for cleanliness. The cows
should be MIXED if possible always by
the same person. As soon as the milk
is drawn it should be set for the cream.
The utensils should be scalded always

raised within twenty-four hours, after
which it should be kept at . tempera-
ture Of As degrees. until the ripen-
ing process begins. To perfect the
ripening, warm the cream up to tenn
perature of 81 degrees and stir it fire.
quently. Then churn at q tempera-
ture varying from 81 to 68 degrees. &C.
cording to the season and surrounding
No cream should be
added after the ripening process has
begun. When the butter has become
about the size of wheat grains, draw
OF the buttermilk and put it In cold
water. Agitate the butter q little.
then draw OF the water. and repeat
this process until the water runs clear.
Take the butter out carefully and

A SFOTFL To THE OPIUM FPITDS

The report made to the Treasury Department
by Special Treasury Agent Iolahan on the opium
frauds should receive more than a casual reading
An offensive partisan" could not have written
more effective arraignment of the present ad-
ministraton Of the Customs Service. In the
several chapters given out at the Custom House
during the investigation of this matter il has
been stated that the Governments has lost
$3.50 %" in duties through the fraudulent
withdrawal OF opium from bond upon the pre-
tence Of sending it to Havana. This being the
case there is need OF tinllering with the tar
i'll in order TO reduce the surplus Another
inefficient Democratic Administration of the
Federal Government would get rid OK about all
Of it.
No stronger proof OF the ine1icicncy of the
Customs officers at this port is needed than Spe-
cial Agent llolahans report. In july 1885 the
Republican Collector eX-Judge Robertson was
succeeded by Edward l.. IIedden, and he in turn
by Daniel MagOne, country lawyer from Og
densburg Prior to Mr.. IIedden's appointment
there was a general sweep in the special agents
force Special Agent-in-Charge Colonel Ayre was
sent to the Pacific Coast, and his subordinatcs
were thrown out troop of inexperienced men,
but good" Democrats, were appointed special
agents and since that time the public has been
whiting to learn what they were doing in return
for their salaries Mr. Holahan is at the head
Of these detective officers Of the Treasury De-
partment. lie reports TO the Secretary that the
Withdrawals Of opium from bond upon the pre-
tence Of exporting it to Havana, In $50,
amounted to 1901 IA pounds, an increase OF
255 per cent over those Of l6s5. The with
drawals from January 10 November |, ss7,
were only 34,42s pounds. but, the report Gays,
this decrease was undoubtedly due TO the fact
that in the month OF October Of that year the
Customs authorities at Havana" discovered that
opium was struggled into that port from New
York, and that this unlooked-for event warned
the combination 10 suspend operations
In other words, Mr. HolahAn SAYS that after
