KITCHEN CONVENIENCE.

Every kitchen should be supplied with
a marble slab to knead pastry on, as IL
makes all crusts light and flaky, while
without slab puff paste cannot be sue
cessfully made. This can be stood away
when not in use. In city kitchens, where
space is valuable, tinware is hung on the
wall over the table, There is no objec-
ton to this, as the shining tins brighten
the room and are within easy reach of
the cook.
Sharp knives should not be kept in a
drawer. Take piece of wood, an old
box cover for instance, about foot long,
and cover it neatly with dark-colored
cotton flannel, lacking it on with small
brass nails around the edges. Fasten
strips of leather wide enough to hold the
knives across the front and hang against
the wall, and knives will always be
ready when wanted. A cushion hung in
some convenient spot should always be
filled with pins and needles ready thread
ed with coarse thread for the basting of
fowls and meats. A soap box lined with
stout wrapping paper, neatly pasted in
and covered externally with cretone,
while the cover is hinged on, makes a
handy receptacle for clean dish towels
and kitchen aprons.
The iron pots, kettles, gridirons and
frying pans should have a closet of their
own, or at any rate be kept separate from
the tinware, and the fatirons and ironing
board, if the house is not provided with
laundry, should be slowed in the Gel
lar-way or some out of the way corner.
Keep the ironing board clean by
covering with a bag made from an old
calico dress skirt. Hang brooms up by
lacking tape loop at the end. In buy
ing brooms select those of light green
color, as they are both tough and flexible.
Old cotton sheets and pillow cases make
the best window rags, as they leave no
lint on the pane. Have them washed
and cut the right size and placed in a
calico bag kept in the kitchen for the
purpose.
If the kitchen is provided with shelves,
cover them with light brown wrapping
paper, frequently renewed. Shelves COW
cred with newspapers attract insects and
do not look tidy.-[Detroit Tribune.

Leave Your XNindnws Omen,

All the higher organisms plead hard
for pure, fresh air. 1t keeps off dis
ease. Don't close windows too soon.
Keep them open a little, or much,
night and day, as loLz as possible.
When you use double windows don't
have the outer or storm window fast
ened on the frame and depend only on
the almost useless little slit of an open
ing in the frame of the sash, mis-
named a ''ventilator," for your life
giving oxygen. Have the window
hung with hinges SO that it can be
opened wide, as well as the inner one,
and have both opened freely and often
to flush" the room. Even in rooms
with provision for ventilation, this
flushing is desirable.-The Prophy'
Tactic.

Haggard is sensitive. He has pub

This is not worth the while. Every

Woman,s Seclnsion in India.

had not been long in India when
native lady who owned large estates
sent to beg my husband to pay her
visit, as she was anxious that he
should take charge of her property,
which was much embarrassed, and
wished to discuss the matter with him.
We dismounted from our elephants in
the court yard of her house, and were
conducted by a magnificent major
domo and crowd of smaller satel-
lites to a carpeted veranda, where
chairs were placed ready for us. The
steward then approached, holding in
the palms of his joined hands some
gold coins, which we touched instead
of royalty taking, as was the generous
custom in less prudish days. But no
lady was to be seen, and was amazed
and even startled to hear my husband,
still looking straight before him, be-
gin speaking as if he saw some one.
1t gave me quite a shock, but as he
showed no other sign of sudden in
sanity l looked around for some ex-
PLANTATION, and then discovered that
our chairs were placed near kind of
screen called a chik, made of thin
strips of bamboo, which completely
prevents any one from outside seeing
in, although person within the room
can see out, and behind this shelter
ing mantle of invisibility sat the lady
and her women. The conversation
was long, and almost wholly unintel-
ligible to me, but l gathered that my
husband, having reason to be dis
pleased with the lady's conduct, de
clined to accept her hospitality in any
way, which, judging from certain elo-
quent sounds that issued from behind
the screen, drew from her tears and
lamentation -Cornhil Magazine.

Monkeys as Coin Testers.

The Siamese ape is said to be in great
request among Siamese merchants
as cashier in their counting houses.
Vast quantities of base coin obtain
circulation in Siam, and the faculty OF
discrimination between good money
and bad would appear to be possessed
by these gifted monkeys in such an ex.
traordinary degree of development
that no human being, however care
full trained, can compete with them.
The cashier ape meditatively puts into
his mouth each coin presented to him
in business payments, and tests it with
grave elaboration. His method OF
testing is regarded in commercial cir
cles as infallible; and, as a matter OF
fact, his decision is uniformly accepted
by all parties interested in the trans
action. London It'd Bits.

Keeping Close to the Schedule.

England has a record for punctual-
ity of passenger trains that is worthy
Of emulation by some, if not all,
American railway companies. Out OF
a total of 100000 passenger trains on
the Great Eastern road, for the first
six months of this year, over Sc per
cent were absolutely punctual, 81 per
cent. were less than five minutes late,
per cent. were over five and less than
ten minutes late, and per cent. were

Thu Native spaniard,s "Outfat.

It is wonderful the number of arti-
cles Spaniard needs for even a short
journey. The list is never complete
without garlic pot full; cigarettes,

these a Spaniard deems necessary to
take with him even for journey from

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble with
which so many seem now to be afflicted +?
IL you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day il is as common as any word in
the English LANGUAGE. yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our forefathers in times past
So ii Is with nervous diseases as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding ii cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass 1t off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
suffering can we'll appreciate cure. We

Thoughts for the Thoughtful.

There are troubles in this
world, and we have to face
them. You can never tell when
your turn may come, and when
it does the only thing for you
TO do is to take your chance as
best you can.
AS the world grows older it
grows harder, and friendships
and affection, whatever they
may be worth are figures in
the sand which the next tide
will wash away.
However much a man may
love his wife he cannot possibly
love her as either he or she
would wish if she has in any
way crossed his career instead
OF having aided it and accelera-
ted its success.
Deenest pain is better for us
than soothful rest; and lives
that have been ploughed with
Sorrows share shall in due time
their fruitful tribute bear;
though it may be that we shall
sleep in dust before that har-
vest.
Those who have been indulg-
ed by fortune, and have always
thought Of calamity as what
happened to others, feel a blind,
incredulous rage at the rever-
sal OF their lot; and half be-
lieve that their wild cries will
alter the coI&se of the
storm.

TRUcKEE, Colo, Oct. 2.-This town was
thrown into excitement by the acts Of an In
dian of the Washoe tribe, who leaped upon a
bluff overlooking the town. He first fired
three shots from a rifle into the town, one
shot striking squaw. He then fired q shot
at a multitude of white people on the prin-
cipal street The shot, however, did no in
jury. Officers and citizens then gave chase.
The Indian had taken refuge in cleft Of

one of the leaders of the party to kill him.
Another member of the party, however, shot
the Indian dead. Many of this tribe of In

The Law 1. Constitutional.

BROOKLYN, Oct. AFTER the passing Of
the grain elevator bill by the legislature
which regulated the charges for handling
grain two elevator owners decided to test the
constitutionality of the act. They violated
the provisions of the bill by charging more
than the law permitted. They had the case
brought up on writ of habeas corpus and
certiorari The general term has decided
that the bin was constitutional and therefore
dismissed the writ The case will probably
be carried to the court of appeals
