e Would Abolish the Oath in Law.

Said a prominent lawyer the other day!
''The oath in law should, l think, be
abolished. 1t has retained its place upon
tie theory that it tends to secure the
telling of the truth, but it does not. ]
have been fCw thirty years constantly
about courts Of law, and unhesitatingly
say that any person conscientious enough
to regard an oath will tell the truth
without one, and for those who may be
restrained by the fear of punishment for
perjury the statutes can be so amended
rs to make lying upon the witness stand
Or the subscription of false affidavits in
legal proceedings punishable by the same
penalties now attached to perjury.
''L:u'iag the thirty years that l have
named / have carefully watched the
20 rise of legal morality, and l tell you
Ut perjury become 1aily more COM
TO- and the oath lighter and more per.
tunctory. The clerk drawls out the fern
Of oath without pause or punctuation
The witness, with falsehood deliberate
and rehearsed in his heart, drops his
right hand. takes the stand, the lie comes
ghbly to his lips. and some mans prop
arty, reputation or liberty are sworn
away for dollars or for a grudge.
''The nconsiderate profanity of the
angry or drunken man is harmless when
compared with the indolent Indifference
with which officers administer and the
Mack perjury with which witnesses take
Eae oath. If we cannot make lying In
judicial proceedings less, let us ut least
make it more decent and less p'eSans.-

Hints.

For corns and bunions nothing is so
cooling as the white of an egg.
A solution of alum, ten grains to the
ounce of water, is excellent for soaking
your feel if they are tender.
Don't think it is wasted time to pre-
pare few kindlings and lay them be-
hind the stove with paper every night.
Then if anyone is taken ill during the
night and II fire is needed it is only u
moments work to get it.
Sunlight is one of the best disinfect-
ants. The microbe that cause disease
do not flourish in strong sunshine. 1t
also has the advantage of being cheap.
Egg stains can be removed by rubbing
with common table salt.
Leather chair seats may be revived by
rubbing them with well beaten white
OF egg.
Sandpaper will whiten ivory knife
handles after they become yellow with
use or age.
A brilliant black varnish for iron
stoves and fire places is made by stirring
ivorybiack with ordinary shellac var
nish.
Faded hangings may be restored by
beating the dust from them and brush
ing, then apply strong lather of CASTLE
soap hy means of n hard brush; wash the
lather off with clean water and after
ward with alum water. When dry the
colors will generally be found to be re-
stored

Mistress and Maid,

In England it is the law that when n
person hires domestic servant, unless
1T is otherwise agreed, the hiring is for
one year, and if the employer wishes to
discharge the servant before the time
has expired, he must give heramonth' s
notice or months pay, says the Amer
lean Agriculturist. So the servant
must give months notice if she
wishes to leave. There is no such law
in this country. While it is very fire.
quent for the mistress to expect weeks
notice from her servant before she
leaves her place, and for the servant to
expect u similar notice or weeks pay
before discharge, such notice or pay is
not required by law. In the absence of
any agreement between the parties, the
mistress has n right to discharge her
servant at any time, with or without
good cause, and the servant has right
to leave at any time she takes notion
to do so. The fact that n girl is hired
at a certain price per week does not re-
Quire her to work the week out. Such
hiring only fixes the rate of wages
and not the time of service.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Pretty Results to be obtained From
Homety Materials.

A pretty design for sash curtains is
developed in denim, says the House,
Keeper. The curtain, after it is hemmed
at the top and bottom, should be lust
the length of the window from its mid
die to its lower sash. Trace on n strip
OF paper exactly as long ms the width of
the denim, the words, "Pull me tight,
shut out the light" and on another,
Pull me back, no sunshine lack. "
Paste these strips, one on each curtain
about an inch from the bottom. The
lettering should be quaint and rustic in
design. Almost any fancy store keeps
the rustic alpnabets now. The couplets
should then be couchcd in white or red
cord. Sew brass rings to the top OF each
curtain and suspend them from brass
rod. These are pretty for ground floor
bedrooms or diuing-rooms.
Denim also makes an effective por-
there. One lately seen was made of
three widths of blue 6onim-the light
side being used for the outside. At the
top and bottom hens Of nine and eigh-
teen inches were turned onto the right
side and stitched-the dark on the light
affording a pretty contrast. TO cover
the stitching q length of white cotton
rope one-half inch in diameter should
be couched. Instead of attaching the
portiere to the pole by means of rim gs
and pins, yard lengths of rope were
used. They we're sewed Mt regular in
tervals to the upper edge; the ends
were then thrown over the polo and Sc
curely tied, after which they were
lringed. If the, portiere is TO be looped
back, rope should be used aud the ends
fringed to correspond. The purtiore
could be lined, though the one de-
sscribed was unlined and hung in grace
ful folds

A Sparring Exhibition.

The Gate City Athletic club gave an open
