HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

A Few Hints Which the Housekeeper
Should Preserve Carefully
Lamp wicks should be changed often
enough to insure having a good light.
II they seem clogged they may be
washed in strong suds and put into
the lamps again.
To take spots of paint from wood lay
a thick coating of lime aud soda mixed
over it, letting it stay twenty-four
hours. then wash of with warm water
and the spots will disappear.
Coffee pounded in a mortar and
roasted on an iron plate. sugar burned
on hot Goals. and vinegar boiled with
myrrh and sprinkled on the floor and
furniture of q sick room are excellent
deodorizers.
In beating cake beat from the bot
tom of the mixing bowl with a wooden
spoon, bringing it up full and hign
with each stroke, and as soon as the
ingredients are fairly and smoothly
mixed stop beating or your cake viii
be tough.
A dark carpet often looks dusty so
soon after it has been swept that you
know it does not need sweeping again,
SO wet a cloth or sponge. wiring it al
most dry, and wipe off the dust. A few
drops of ammonia in the water will
brighten the colors.
Potato water cleans silk of any kind
or color. says a housewife. For every
quart of water to be used in washing a
dress. for instance, pare and CRATE one
large potato. Put the grated potatoes
into the water, which must be soft
water and cold. let stand two days
without being disturbed in any way;
then very carefully pour off the clear
liquor from the sediment into large,
convenient vessel. into which dip the
pieces of silk up and down. OF course
the silk must not be creased by wiring
ing it; let it hang and drip nearly dry.
then lay it fat on the table and wipe it
first on one side and then on the other.
If necessary to press it. do so between
flannel with a moderate iron.-Hons

Why is it that, whenever you are

The faults and weaknesses of

should be used as danger signals, to
warn us away from the paths which
have led to them.
1t is clearly an undeniable fact that
mankind generally had rather remain

not already known to them than to
learn it in any way which will show
and virtually acknowledge their igno-
rance.-Des Moines Leader.
If the right is not used as a weapon
of offense, it is not so likely to need to
spend itself in its own defense. And If
the wrong is busy neither with its own
defense nor with the direct offense
against the right, it is more fairly open
to see the right as exhibited in the
right. 1t is better to draw one into the
right than even to drive him out of the
wrongs. s. Times.
The first attempt to record a public
speech by means of the phonograph
was made at political rally in New
York recently. A funnel seven feet
long was placed in front of the plat

ing the instrument was tested, and the
experiment found to have been entirely
successful, the speakers voice being
heard as distinctly as in the origina
address, together with sounds of tbs
applause and music.

AN unroueHr DUEL
A New York Lawyer Tells . Good story 81
Ante-BeIfum Days.

Ante-Be1fum Days.
A we1l-known lawyer OF this city tells
a good story OF ante-bellum times that,
inasmuch as IL Is more or less histor-
ical. will bear repeating. The story is
about as follows: 1t was somewhere In
1s4S or thereabouts- Party feeling. as
between North and South. was running
pretty strong, and more especially was
this the case in Washington, where
Congress was in session. Congressman
Fetherstone. OF Mississippi. saw fit one
day during a Congressional sitting
20 refer to the conduct OF certain Il
linois regiment. commanded by Major
Bissell. at one of the battles of the Mex
lean war as being cowardly. Major
Bissell. who was also a Congressman,
was present on the floor at the time.
His ire was reused to its highest pitch,
and. going over to where Congressman
Fetherstone stood, he shook his fist in
his face and shouted:
.sCowardlyi Why. you contemptfble
liar, why don't you refer to the conduct
of the Mississippi regiment which all
during the action. and while we were
In the III ck of the fight, was more than
half a mile away and hadn't drawn q
trigger?''
The Mississippi regiment referred to
happened to have been commanded by
Colonel JEFF Davis. who was also then
in Washington. and who when he heard
OF Major Bissell's remarks demanded an
apology. This Major BisseD would not
give. and Colonel Davis sent "a friend
TO fix up matters The result of this
negotiation was a challenge for duel,
which was to have been fought the day
following. ..Zack" Taylor was Presi-
dent at the time. and as JEFF Davis was
his son-in-law he was bound that the
duel should not come of, and accord
ingly issued warrant for Major Bis
sells arrest Major Bissell was duly
arrested by United States marshal
and brought before the President
See here. Mr.. President" said the
Major, '.you have had me arrested be-
cause | am going to fight duel Why
do you arrest me? / am not the chal-
lenging party. Why don't you arrest
your son-in-law, Colonel Davis? The
Southerners will all say that became
afraid and had myself arrested to avoid
the consequences of fight if you allow
this to GO on"
This argument seemed to strike saOld
Zach, who thereupon caused the ar
rest of his son-in-law, Colonel Davis
After much persuasive diplomacy on
the part Of the President the would-be
duelists were brought together and thu
quarrel was patched up Both parties
are now living. Major BisseH served
with distinction during the late wal
and is now living in retirement on q
farm in Illinois, and everyone knows
the subsequent history of Colonel

lnMAn.s SUCCESS.
How the President OF the Georgia central
Railroad Made His Fortune.

How the President OF the Georgia central
Railroad Made His Fortune.
The purchase of the Georgia Central
railroad by John Inman. president of
the Richmond Terminal Company,
brings that gentleman quite promi-
nently into public notice. When the
rebellion broke out the three Inman
brothers-John, Samuel and Hugh-en-
tered the Confederate army as privates.
and when they left the ranks at the end
of the war they were without capital or
resources. At their wrecked and desc
lated home in Georgia they bade each
other goodbye and started out to make
their way in the world. John Inman
came here to New York with scarcely
SO in his possession. and for a time
his life was very hard and unpromis-
ing one.
He worked as clerk in a brokers'
Office, and plodded along for couple of
years, saving a little from his scanty
salary. Finally he got into business in
a small way for himself. and to-day he
is in possession of a fortune estimated at
from SO. 600. 600 to S12, 900. 900. The two

settled in Atlanta. where he is to-day
one of the wealthiest and most respect
ed citizens. Hugh is also q resident
of Atlanta, and is considered to-day the
richest man in the State of Georgia.
The Inmans are among the most gem
erous and beloved of the men who have
done SO much to build up the new
South and vitalize its great amp grow
ing resources.-N. Y. Graphic.

One of the most important lnlngs

Systematically and devoutly reading
and studying the Bible. BY this habit
he will grow in grace by growing
''in the knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ" The more he
reads the Bible the more precious will
1t become in his experience.
