A b stratagem.

Somebody who writes sagely about chill
dren and their affairs says:-"Children
are naturally self-denying.' or course
we all know that. Here is an Instance
A small girl of the "Listener'sn acquaint-
ance had a visit from two of her young
friends, each somewhat larger than her
self, the other day. Both the visitors
brought their dolls, and it was proposed
that they make common property of all
their p~laythings, including the dolls, and
go in for a general good time. The plan
went merrily. By and by the small
hostess, returning to the member of the
household who had originally proposed
the socialistic arrangements of matters
under which they were proceeding SO
amicably, said in her most engaging and
honeyed Manner
t,Don't YOU think that the biggest little
girl ought to have the biggest doll
here?"
As the biggest doll was known to be
the enquirer's, this question was taken
as a proof of rare self-denial on the little
girls part. So the lady said:-
Eyes, my dear. that would be very
wise"
"And the next biggest girl the next
biggest doll:'
'sYes."
"And the 'ittiest girl the 'ittiest doll?''
Eyes"
The child ran away and reported the
new arrangements to the other children;
and it wasn't until later, when the pent-
up feelings of one of the other little girls
rave way to tears, that it was discovered
that the "littlest doll" was a superb
French arrangement, which opened and
closed it's eyes, and wore d costume got up
in perfect recklessness of expense. The
"ittiest girl's'' self-denial was a rare bit
of strategy.-Boston Transcript.

1t has long been known that pine-needle
pillows would alleviate persons afflicted
with lung troubles, and a Florida editor
relates an incident in support of the fact,
as demonstrating a visit to the home of
a very estimable lady living on the Indian
River the editor was told of q discovery
that had been made which may prove a
boon to sufferers from lung or bronchial
troubles. This lady having heard that
there was a peculiar virtue in q pillow
made from pine straw, and having one
of that material at hand, made one from
fine, soft pine shavings, and had the pleas
ure of noting immediate benefits. Soon
all the members of the household had
p~ine-shavings pillows, and it was noticed
that all coughs, asthmatic or bronchial
troubles abated at once after sleeping a
few nights on these pillows. An invalid
suffering with lung trouble derived much
benefit from sleeping upon a mattress
made from pine shavings. The material
is cheap and makes q very pleasant and
comfortable mattress, the odor of the
pine permeating the entire room and alb
sorbing or dispelling all unpleasant
odors. The Sanitary Reporter publishes
the following supporting the above:-One
of the German physicians who has charge
of a sanitarium in Germany believes that
there is something in the popular notion
that the balsamic odors of pine forests are
salubrious, and treats his c~onsumptiye
patients with steam inhalations of pine
needles or leaves with good results, as he
claims.-SciGntitc american.

the following recipe, enough Ior Lour
shirts, q dozen collars and as many pairs
of cuffs. Put to boil in a clean saucepan
with copper bottom n and one-halt
quarts of clear water; have ready q cup
full of best gloss starch dissolved in cold
water, and when the water on the stove
is galloping, for it must "dance as wei! as
sing,"pour in the melted starch, stirring
we'll, and boil carefully until it is trans
lucent. 1t must be quite thick, and it one
cupful las cups vary) is not enough DIS
solve more and add, being careful not TO
let it burn. Fifteen to twenty minutes
boiling | find sufficient, and it is ready TO
strain in a three-cornered cheese-clotn
bag, which you will find better than
thicker goods, as the starch runs through
kerosene and a few drops of bluing. Some
use a bit of butter or sperm, but n
the kerosene answers the purpose ana is
always at hand.
The starch made and the clothes ready,
you may now proceed to business. Don't
be in a hurry, for what time you consume
in the starching will be made up i'll the
ironing. AS soon as the starch is sufh-
GENTLY cool to bear your hand take a
shirt which has just come from the rinse
water, gather up the bosom, immerse in
the starch, rub well, long and vigorously
till the starch has entered every fold of
the bosom, lining and all; don't wiring or
squeeze, but draw it through your fingers
well. slipping off all superfluous starch;
treat band and wristbands the same, hang
up until bone dry. Proceed to do the
same to the collars and cuffs, not forget
ting that success in the ironing depends
wholly upon how well you rub in the
starch. In stripping them of the starch,
endeavor to smooth out all wrinkles
while wet, and when dry they will rattle
like paper.
When the time is up take n article at
a time, lay on a clean white ironing board.
See that your hands are immaculate and
your irons clean; rub the latter on brown
paper and a bit of beeswaX, then on a
clean rag. If your polisber is at the
right heat it will only take a few firm
rubs up and down on each side to make
you feel proud of your collars and cuffs.
The shirt bosoms are drawn out smoothly
on g. bosom board, after ironing the
sleeves and tail, also the neck and waist
bands. Now grasp the neck with your
left hand and Slide, as it were, your iron
up the middle, sending all wrinkles to
the sides instead of the top or bottom.
Press firmly, curve around the neckband,
so that it will stand, put a pin in it to
preserve it's shape, fold, and your work is
done.-Phtlddelphto Call.

BelIVue Avenue People.

The Bellevue Avenue Improvement
Company held special meeting last
evening at the Bellevue-avenue NJ. E..
Church, Mr.. A. j. Mead presiding and
Mr.. A. G. Hinckley acting as Secretary.
The topic discussed was the granting OF
franchise to syndicate, some of the
members of which are interested in the
Los Angeles and Pacific road, for street
railway from the corner of Sonora and
Main streets to the terminus OF the Elys-
ian Park railway, via Bellevue and Elys-
ian avenues. The residents of Bellevue
avenue, fearing the franchise would be
either used to further the interests of
parties interested in land schemes or
sold to the Los Angeles and Pacific road,
which company has for some time past
been trying to secure right Of way to
the center OF the city, called the meeting
for the purpose OF preparing resolutions
petitioning the Council to reconsider the
granting of the franchise.
After fully discussing the advantages
to be derived from a road giving good
service, it was decided to abandon the
idea Of antagonizing the new company,
and thus secure the means of convenient
transportation to the business center.
At tie next regular meeting, to be held
Tuesday evening, July 9th, the question
of sewage for Bellevue avenue will be
considered, and site for the proposed
new schoolhouse decided upon.

home he arose to be helped out, when
he fell back in the seat and expired be-
fore his wife could be brought out of the
houte. Mr.. Hisey has lived here for
several years, and was highly esteemed
and respected by all who knew him,
There is absolutely nothing in the story
that the Los Angeles aud Pacific Railroad
has bought the Cross system. The latter
is gauge affair, and would have
to be rebuilt. The former road will get
into Pasadena by branching off at Ivan
hoe, crossing the river and passing
through Tropico and Glendale. then
going to the right of the Nerdugo to
Garvanza, and so on.
Yesterday was the hottest day OF the
season. Governor Gray, OF Indiana
says that when he crossed the San
Joaquin on the Fourth the mercury was
at III, and ex-Jailer Russell says that he
passed over the Colorado desert yester-
day in torrid temperature of l19. Here
the mercury on the Fourth was only rs
degrees at the most, and yesterday only
few degrees higher. That is equal to
about 20 degrees in the muggy Eastern
atmosphere.

Kinney In Trouble.

Among those who were accommodated
with seats in the dock of the Police
Court yesterday was Ed. Kinney, the ex.
driver cf Fire Engine No. A, who created
such sensation few weeks ago by first
wedding Miss Bertha Cohn without her
psrents' consent and then Joining the
Jewish Church. He was brought before
the Police Judge on complaint Of Gustav
Masquelier, charging him with battery.
1t was alleged by the complain
ing witness that two months ago
Kinney came to his tailor shop on
Arcadia street and ordered a pair Of
pants, for which he agreed to pay $40.
OF this sum he paid s6, and at intervals
since the delivery of the pants he paid
in all SO more, leaving balance Of 81
still due. As Masquelier was rather
afraid that Kinney meant to "beat" him
out of the dollar, he dunned him for it,
and yesterday morning Kinney went
down to the shop and abused the tailor.
Masquelier resented the epithets applied
to him. A few words passed between
them, when Kinney struck the old man a
