FEIoNINo DEAFNESS.

The next Sunday there was a repeti
ton of the attack. The woman, who
was a stranger to the congregation, was
again taken TO the vestibule, and the
physician who had previously attended
her was again called upon. Thinking
that the attack was simulated, he pro-
posed that a settee should be procured
n the woman carried through the
street to a police station. In a twink
ling the woman sprang from the chair
in which she had been placed, hurried
from the building and has not since ap-
peared at the church.
One Of the methods adopted to mis-.
lead is to feign deafness This is one of
the tricks resorted to by men who desire
to avoid being placed upon %juries. Gen
orally. however, the judges are able to
fathom the deception. and, by the use of
a little stratagem, it is easily exposed.
Men who simulate deafness will clasp an
ear in the palm of the hand and lean
forward as though the auditory nerves
were strained to catch what was said.
In an unguarded moment the supposed
deaf man is asked u question in an ordi-
nary tone. to which he generally replies
n his deception is unmasked.
AS a rule, however, illness and other
physical disabilities are simulated by
people who wish to avoid work or who
desire to obtain admission to some in
stitution where they may live without
cost to themselves. and sometimes by
%convicts with the hope Of lettering their
condition. In fact very many diseases
are feigned, but in the hands of a skill
full physician they are soon exposed. A
common method of Stimulating apoplexy
is by falling down as IL deprived of SEN
sation n consciousness. Powerful
stimulants. an electric shock, the appli-
cation of hot water or IN irritation OF
the n%ostrils, quickly detect the imposi-

New Idea in Playing Cards.

A patent has been taken out for a
new style of playing cards. which is
intended to facilitate the acquisition of
the knowledge of the best modes OF
playing different games of cards. to
permit prearranged games to be prop
erly played by a less number OF per-
sons than is necessary in ordinary
playing, but in the same manner as il
all the players were present. and to in
dictate to each player the order il
which his cards would be played by an
expert playing the same hand in the
same game; and to this end the cards
of the pack are each provided with
one or more indicators or series of in
dications, whereby with one or mora
prearranged hands the proper play OF
each player is clearly indicated at each
play in the game. and whereby any
one or more persons can play the hand
of one or more absent players in the
same manner as such players, if eX-
perts, would play their hands if pres
ent. The indicators may be figures,
letters, signs or symbols of any suita-
BILE character on the faces or backs of
the cards, printed, embossed or other
wise placed thereon, and one symbol
by its difference in position. color or
otherwise may be used to give two or
more indications Sta

UNCLE EBENS CONSERVATISM

Uncle Eben was careful in all that he said
He was never dead sure nor dogmatic;
II he was as mad as a hornet at bay,
He couldn't be pronounced and emphatic.
He thought it was best TO so sure and go slow,
And always take time for his whiskers &c
grow,
And his blame or his praise would end with this
phrase:
Il dunno as 1 know; dunno"
When his neighbors grew wild in political
strife.
And asked his opinion about it
81 dunno but it is ] dunno but it amt
He would slowly declare. But doubt it.
Then he'd pause a long time, scratch his head and
lay low.
For it took quite a while for his language to
flow
But at length he would sag in calm kind of
way;
81 dunno as know: dunno"
You might pelt him with truth. you could stone
him with facts,
You could crush him with strong demonstra-
tion,
And teachers and preachers ana lawyers could
talk,
He would have just the same hesitation:
He would still scratch his head. undoubtedly
and slow.
But no flush OF conviction his face would Yer
flow.
But slowly he'd say, in his Old chronic way:
Il dunno as l know; dunno"
81 dunno as know, dunno as know
The refrain of his song OF existence.
But we loved the Old fellow-after he died
And his soul wandered of in a distance.
Then We thought were we wiser and less fond
of show,
Less weak and less proud of or work here
below
Like him we would say every day; every day:
i dunno as know dunno.

How to Keep them Neat, Clean and Sweet
Points for Housekeepers.

| How to Keep them Neat, Clean and Sweet
Points for Housekeepers.
During the warm weather the refrig-
orator comes in for good share of at
tention. Aside from its usefulness, a
good refrigerator is a nice piece of fur
niture. and an ornament to any home,
yet it takes but very little neglect to
render it any thing but ornamental. As
| piece of furniture it should be cared
for as conscientiously as any other of
the household furnishings. yet few
housewives recognize this fact 1t is
usually slowed away in some out-of-
the-way. inconvenient place. and the
! only care it gets is an occasional clean
ing out OF the inside.
Keep it in a cool. dry place. in the
dining-room, unless pantry is more
convenient. but it is not advisable to
keep it in a cellar. as is often done, for
there are few cellars that are not some
what damp, and when put in such
places it does not take very long to
ruin the refrigerator.
Always keep the ice-box clean as far
as you can, and never allow ice to be
placed in it that has at first been
washed off. Insist that your iceman
wash his ice ere putting in the box. and
it will be much easier to keep clean.
Never allow the ice to be wholly gone
ere getting in more, for twice the
quantity of ice will De required to cool
the refrigerator than ordinarily. Never
put anything warm in the ice-chest, but
lay aside in cool place until cold.
Never put in anything that is not per-
fectly fresh. and remove anything bear
ing the least indications of a faint, for
butter or milk absorbs anything of this
kind very readily. 1t is much better
where there is separate compartment
for the butter and milk, as they keep
much better when placed by them
selves. and retain their original flavor,
which they seldom do when occupying
place with other eatables.
Once a week, at the least the refrig-
orator should receive a thorough
cleaning. Take out all the victuals
and place in cool place. covering
them over to protect them from dust.
If there is any ice in it take it out and
roll in several thickuesses of old flannel
or heavy bagging, and put in cool
place. Remove all the shelves and any
adjustable apartments. and wash in
warm ammonia water, using a good
soap. Many of the stains and black
marks seen on the zinc shelves can be
removed by securing with pulverized
bath brick and soap. Clean wooden
shelves BY scrubbing with brush and
some good soap. When all is thorough
ly washed, place them in the air to dry.
Wash out the inside of the refrigerator
and dry as well as possible and let air.
When thoroughly dry. replace the
shelves etc, put in the ice. close and
let remain until the inside is cool, then
replace the victuals. 1t is good plan
to place in one corner a small dish of
charcoal, to arrest any impurities that
might arise. The woodwork of most
refrigerators may be kept looking nice
by wiping it over each week with a
damp cloth wrung out in clear water

Lou looked sharply at her guest, and

ment the young man, as if divining the
thought, took off his hat, and looked
full at her. He was slight and not so
tall as she, with masses of reddish
brown hair, and flowing brown whis-
kers. He had curious habit of vail
