CLEANING THE CLOSETS.

A Duty That should lie Performed Be-
fore General House, Cleaning Time.
Choose a fine day for this work, SO
whatever clothes, etc, there may be
can be put out in the air. Remove all
clothes from the hooks and put out on
the lines. Take out all boxes, bags,
bundles, etc, and examine their con-
tents. If the bundles are 10 be put
away for another six months or year,
remove the cloth or paper in which
they were wrapped, do up in fresh,
clean cloth or paper. Clean out boxes
or bags, laying aside those articles
that are to be used for the summer,
then replacing the rest of the contents
in the boxes and doing all up closely.
Put those things taken out in
separate box or bag so they may be
ready for use when wanted. Clear out
drawers, if there are any, in the same
way.
Remove from the closet the shelves
and drawers; dust them well, then
wash thoroughly in ammonia water
and some good soap Put aside to
dry. Encase the brush end of the
broom in a clean cloth and with this
wipe down the walls until they are
thoroughly clean. Sweep out the bot
tom of closet. then with some good
soap and ammonia water wash the
paint and floor AT this time the
paint on the inside of the door may be
cleaned; leave the door open so it
may dry quickly. When dry, with .
feather dipped in turpentine, go into
all the crevices around the mop boards
and in the cracks OF the floor, not for
getting to visit lodges OF drawers and
shelves in the same way, or II liked
sprinkle salt plentifully in these
places. Either of these will keep
away moths.
Replace drawers aud shelves. and in
each drawer on the bottom lay thick,
firm newspaper. Put the same on tops
of shelves and on the bottom of closet.
Put back the contents of drawers, us
ing one drawer for those articles that
will be needed in a short while, such
as summer clothes to be repaired, sum-
mer millinery to be readjusted, etc.
Put back boxes and bags. putting those
to be placed away for any length of
time away back, and those likely to ba
used often in a Convenient place. Take
in the clothes from the lines and hang
in closet. 1t is a good time now to
pick out those clothes that can be
spared and giving them to the needy,
thereby doing good action, and also
making space for hanging up winter
cloaks if so desired. Never on any ac-
count whitewash the walls of a closet,
but if, through no fault of yours, such
a thing is done, paste firm newspapers
around the walls under the hooks up
on which the clothes hang. and save a
good deal of brushing and annoyance.
If bureaus, trunks, table-drawers,
ETC., are cleaned out now, while tbs
house is warm, 1t will tighten wonder
fully the general housekeeping. -Bos-

Forcing in the Public Schools.

know perfectly well that 1 shall prob
ably be called an old fogy, if not a crank,
for presuming to think that anything in
the past can be better than the present.
But l insist that the forcing system, as
practiced in many of our schools, is con-
ducive neither to a good education, good
health nor to beauty of face or form. To
learn many things indifferently and none
well is now the practice in most of our
public schools, where so many of our girls
spend six hours of the day trying in vain
to translate some obscure passage in Virgil
or to solve some difficult problem in alge-
bra. Nor does the hard study end with
the six hours close confinement, varied
only by change from one class room to
another or the climbing of stairs, which
sooner or later is sure to tell upon the
physical frame. Where there are so many
lessons 70 be learned, and so long, there
is scarcely any leisure for exercise in the
open air or recreation of any kind, no
time for home intercourse or duties and
those talks with mother or grandmother
which in after years will be so precious to
the woman and remembered long after

Egg LAYING extraordinary.

The turtle had assembled the beach to q
point above high tide, had stirred up the
sand, leaving n great heap over her eggs,
and returned TO the water but a short
time before we landed. This was shown
by the ebbing tide, which had retreated
only a short distance from her last tracks
The eggs were laid in a bunch and covered
with sand foot and half deep. There
were just 1870 of them. They resemble a
white rubber ball, an inch and half in
diameter. The sea turtles eggs have a
peculiar flavor, but are very palatable.
The CLAIR becomes tough and leathery by
boiling, and is always thrown away.
The breeding season of the loggerhead
(chclonia carettal lasts from May well
into August, according to the statement
of our guide, who also said that they de-
posted eggs several times in this period,
producing as many as $50 at the first lay
ing, and perhaps no more than two or
three at the last. The natives make q
business like search for these eggs each
year, and sometimes surprise the female
turtle on the beach. When she has once
begun the egg laying process it has to be
finished, even if she is turned on her back
and made a prisoner Immediately after.
The extraordinary egg producing power of
these animals is all that preserves them
from immediate extinction. - Popular
Science Monthly.

Railroad Mons sunerstltion..

''Talk about superstitions! Railroad
men are rs superstitious as they make
them,' remarked an OLD engineer as he
was oiling his engine. II have as much
faith in my machine as have in human
being, and she acts as cranlIily sometimes.
Oh. yes, she has her spells. Sometimes
she will make steam like a daisy. AT
other times she won't steam at all. L
can't account for it. There's lots of super
stitions among the boys, and you can bet
they believe in them strongly. Take that
which gives tn ae accidents following one
another, everybody believes that
''I'll tell you a peculiar circumstance,
though On the Erie they had an old
engine years ago known as the 222. She
had the reputation of being the worst man
killer on the road, and hardly a week
passed that she didn't have an accident to
her record. The men became so much
afraid of her that they refused to work on
her, and the officials were in a quandary.
At last in despair they sent her 70 the
Susquehanna shops, rebuilt her, changed
her number and turned her loose on the
eastern end of the road She kept up the
same capers until she got as bad reputa-
ton as she had before. Men refused to
work with her, and one day it leaked out
that she was the old 222. That settled it,
nobody cared for place on her. A short
time afterwards she was ditched and in
iured so badly that she was almost in
pieces. No effort was made to put her
together again, and she was consigned to
the scrap heap. Her brasses, etc, weSe
gradually used up until the mere shell
was left, when she was sold as old iron"

Just tho Same as MI1llonaires.

A fashionable craze among men Of
small means is to have bank account
and to make all payments by check. The
savings banks ordinarily do not permit
deposits t. be drawn out by checks, and
when money is taken from the institution
the pass book has to be presented to the
cashier, and most Of the national banks of
this city require $500 to be placed in their
hands before they win open q current ac-
count. A few of the larger institutions
require deposit of from 81 900 to So, 600
The banks stipulate that the deposit shall
never be less than the sum they require to
open the account, but this rule is not en-
forced in all banking institutions. The
deposit of $500 is in some of the small
institutions not enforced, and very often
if the accounts could be seen the balance
to the credit of the depositor is only a few
dollars.
Payments by cheek are the safest way
of settling any account said cashier
of bank to reporter. eff you give
man a check he must indorse it before he
can get the money, so that you always
have his receipt. Then the money is paid
by the bank to some responsible person,
so that the payment can always be proved
by tracing how the money was paid.
Should q check be lost payment can
always be stopped. New York Mail and
