An Absent-Minded woman.

A certain Lewiston (Me.) woman re-
Gently sat counting some bills to the
amount Of $50, which she had just taken
out Of her pocl1et-book. Noar at hand
was flower stand, and, noticing some
dead leaves on her plants, she picked
them off and mechanically crumpling
them and the bills in her hand, thrust
the whole into the stove, laid In the
kindling, turned on kerosene, lighted
the whole and won't into another room.
Suddenly searching for her bills to re-
place them in her wallet she thought OF
what she had done, and seizing a dipper
OF cold water turned 1t upon the fire in
about as quick time as she ever did any
thing. And she actually rescued the
whole amount unchanged except one
bill, the edges Of which were slightly
scorched.

PHOTOGRAPHIC MYSTERY.
An Eng1ish Artists strange Experience In
n Dead Room.


q Dead Room.
a wcll-known English photographer
will vouch for the following facts: He
was called in one day to take photo
graph of young girl of about twenty,
who had died few days before. The
corpse was laid out upon bed with the
hands claspod over the breast. Death
had come very gently to her, and, ex-
cept for the stiffness, sho lay there as II
in sleep. Some flowers had been strewn
over the body, and on the floor by the
sido of the bed and standing out In black
relief against 1t was the coffin. The
photographer silently adjusted his lens
and took the photograph. During the
ten minutes needed for the exposure the
photographers paced up and down in the
long corridor outside the room whore
the dead girl lay. When he returned he
saw that on tho lid Of the coffin was o
flower, which was not so before. How did
that flower come there? No one had en-
tered the room, the windows were closed
and there was not q breath OF air stirring.
Why was the flower now lying on the
coffin, when q few minutes before 1t was
on tho bed between the hands of the
corpse? The photographer listened,
but he could hear no sound except the
beating of his own heart. In o few
moments, however, he determined to
dismiss the question from his mind, and
busted himself with packing up his
instruments. Then he paused-possibly
the falling flower had left trace on
the negative, or, as the day was
gloomy, the photograph might not be
quite successful. He would try again.
A second photograph was taken and the
artist returned home. That night, sit
ting up late in his studio, he developed
the two negatives. The position Of the
corpse was not the same in the two
negatives. The photographer strained
his eyes, half disbelieving tho evidence
of his own senses, but there were the
two negatives before him, telling him
in their silent, unmistakable truthful
ness that between the taking Of the
two photographs the arm of the dead
girl had distinctly moved. The mystery
Of the flower on the coffin was solved,
but it was succeeded by mys terry more
terrible STILL

HOUSEHOLD WORK.

It Is the Fault Of Men That Much OF 1t
Is So Wearing.
The San Francisco Call suggests So
ciety for tightening the burdens of wom-
en- who have houses to keep in order,
and says:
Does tho shoemaker try to tighten
woman's work by sewing the buttons on
honestly or clipping" the footwear with
honest leather? Does the tailorwho makes
the pants with his boasted benevolence of
'double knees" ever put them on tho
right place or large enough? Does the
carpenter ever put the nails'a and hooks
where q medium-sized woman, let alone
child, can reach them?
Is there ever but the fewest possible
shelves that a woman can reach without
standing on chair ut the risk of break
ing her back?
1t is very little thing to have no
water-back to stove-so man thinks;
but to wife-of-all-work it is-well
there is no word strong enough to OK
press tho trouble 1t causes. A sink on
q level, with cold water, Is not an easy
thing to keep clean. Why not make a
little decline? Also bring the zinc over
the cdgos somewhat. Tho continual set
t]ing Of groaso in the flno cracks on in
terstices is worry trying to delicate
stonached woman.
The bureau drawers that never open
or shut without trial of temper, why
can not they be made to, run smoothly?
It should bo declared punishable
offense to make window that can not
be brought In to clean.
Mon invented all these awkward and
nconvenient thingsan men made them
and they ore responsible for tho broken
down, haggard-lool,ing womon we see or
the streets, or rather in tho houses.

used. and the soap or soap powder, no mat

most varied methods of use is the handiest
Some things, however. are important to
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tirely removed from the interstices of the
clothes I'd all microbes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way to do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water, by constant self agitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses-tbeD from dirt, and disease
breeding microbes. as they can be cleansed
