A Boys IDEA.-A little boy whose
parepts were always discussing ways
and means in his presence was con-
stantly reminded Of the expense Of
everything until the early lessons Of
domestic economy were sunk deep in
his soul. When he was three years old
some friends visited the family, having
with them a year old baby. This was
such a fund OF delight that the small
boys parents remarked that they
should like such a baby In their own
household, and they looked at him to
see how be would take the suggestion.

To KEEP MILK SWEET. Boil the
pitcher or can In which the milk Is to
be put for ten minutes, take 1t from
the boiling water, and without wiping
it pour Into 1t the milk. Then set the
pitcher back In the boiling wster. Re-
move and cover the pitcher with a
layer OF absorbent cotton and boil for
1--WE minutes. The boiling water de-
stroys the germs on the sides Of the
pitcher, and the absorbent cotton keeps
other germs from settling In the milk
and causing fermentation. Pour out
milk as 1t is needed, disturbing IS lit
tie as possible the cotton covering.
Mix for invalids and babies can thus
be kept sweet for many hours.

Sleeping.rooms for Children.

0S
Possibly the attention of very few
mothers has been directed to the i'm
p~ortance Of the position of their
children beds. With certain orderly,
careful mothers a small alcove adj
joining their sleepingroom isgenerally
considered suitable, leaving the main
room SO much freer for other uses.
But to what fate are we consigning
our child when we exile him to the
alcove? Here turks all the stale,
vitiated, or we might say dead air,
undisturbcd by the freer currents Of
the main room. The child breathing
this air night after night experiences
a loss ofvitality, atendency toeo1ds,
and a languid, depressed condition in
the morning, quite different from
the refreshed awakening in pure air.
Tt has been demonstrated that the
beds nearest the walls in the hos
pitfalls have the higest rate Of mortal
ity, they being subject to influences

A Bully Good Bank.

A resident of New York city, with
a fine knowledge of the weakness of
human nature has devised and put
on the market a registering savings
bank, which holds it's deposits until
they reach a stipulated amount.
The bank is shaped like a Saratoga
trunk. Three styles are made, one
for cents, another for half dimes, and
a third for dimes. Each, after the
first coin is deposited, is locked until
the hundreth coin is pushed through
the slot, and as each coin enters it
registers upon q dial. A man who
buys a dime bank must put 100
dimes into it if he wants to open it,
and n nickle bank can be opened only
when it contains IS. The banks are
strongly made of nickle plated cast
iron, and the locking device is un.
pickable, because after it is locked
the keyhole is taken indoors. Moth
ing but the right amount of coins
will open it, and when the hundreth
coin enters the door opens automati-
cally.-New York Sun.

Knives and Forks.

Never allow knives or forks to lie
around after using. They should be
the first things removed from the
table when the meal is finished, and
put to soak. Have a pitcher of hot
ammonia soap-suds, and in this
place them blades down, and let them
remain until ready to wash. Have
just enough water in the pitcher to
reach the handles, but never on any
account allow the handles when OF
bone. ivory, or wood to remain in
water, as it will surely loosen them.
and in a short time they will fall from
the blades. Wash both blades and
handles in warm soap-suds, using a
soft cloth, and wipe Immediately aft
er removing from the water as dry as
possible with a clean, soft, crash
towel.
To clean steal knives use finely
powdered bath brick and apply with
the cut end of q raw potato. Rub
the blades briskly until all stains are
removed, then wash Immediately in
hot soap-suds and wipe dry. Donot
let them stand after cleaning SO that
the powder dries on them. or they
will be streaky, but wash as soon aft
er cleaning as possible. A piece OF
cork is often used in preference to the
potato, but as it has to be dampened
it is not as convenient to use, as the
potato: juice is all that is desired for
that purpose. Fine coal ashes may
be used when bath brick is not con
venient, and do the work very we'll,
After drying rub the blades briskly
with soft tissue or newspaper to give
the final polish.
Keep in a case or box lined with
! flannel. They will never rust or dis
I color when in general use if kept in &
receptacle such as this, as the flame
will absorb all s%uperauous moisture

1NGERSOLLS GOOD STORY.
1t will be interesting certainly to every
friend of labor, and to the workingman in
this country, to learn that the one respecta-
BILE socialist in this country has returned to
daily journalism. I mean by this that John
Swinton is back on the New York Sun, work
ing side by side with Charles A. Dana.
Few men rave had so many ups and downs
as SWinton. A few years ago he was one of
Mr.. Dana's most priced assistants. The ed
ltor of the sur would leave him in charge OF
that paper while he went abroad, and, al
though Mr.. Swinton has more pronounced
views on every subject of public interest
than any other man, he edited the paper as
Mr.. Dana wished him to n not as ne would
have liked to have done. He was paid a large
alary for this work, and. being economical,
saved q good deal Of money. He was one OF
the first men to take mp the cause Of the
workingmen. He was not an idle chatterer
on the street corners, who spoke for the
something to ay. and he knew how to gay
it. But championing the cause of labor at q
time when it needed a cham pion most, with
o heart as soft as q woman's, he allowed
every rascal who was too lazy to work to
borrow money from him.
His money all vent into a newspaper ven-
ture, and Swinton found when it was too late
hat the cause he had championed and the
men lie had befriended were far from CRATE
full. They did not support his paper, and
the little fortune ne n8d saved melted away
like snow under q scorching sur Then
Henry George M his clan came to the fore,
and with a great h%ullabaloo became the
champions of tho laboriLg classes. Swinton
was pushed aside in the scramble. Then
sickness followed. and while the laboring
mar was worshiping at the shrine Of George,
and his land theory, Swinton was taken i'll,
and for many months lay near deaths door.
His eyes failed him (and what wonderful
eyes they used to be), and with hardly enough
for his few wants, 1t seemed as though
the end could not come too soon; but he
had a faithful wife who nursed him patient
IL, and he came back to lie again. He is
still a believer in socialism, but has little to
say about the working mar in this country,
and their treatment of him. Every day in
the week now he comes down Park row to
the Sun office AZ he did years ago, and works
at his old task. With his eyes shaded by
blue spectacles, he sits aud reads and pens
solid editorials full of ideas, and in the most
opuleut English Hc is accomplishing. He
realizes that he win never again lead in the
figat, but the principles he fought for he
says will live forever, and triumph in the
end. Though his vision is obscure, he can
see a bow Of prosperity set In the sky, and
the day is not far distant when the working
men Of America will have all the rigEts and
privileges that belong to them.

greater part Of it. That much

for al, the harsh criticism that exists in pri-
vate conversation. and il public prints.
Judge Hilton is one Of the familiar figures
on Broadway and Fifth avenue. He looks
enough like one of Boccaccio's friars to have
stepped from the covers of the Decameron.
His shoulders are stopped; he has an amp'i-
aude of glruh that betokens an abundance of
fine vine and capons, and queer little dancing
black eyes that sparkle like a cats watch
ing for a mouse in q closet. His face is mass
i've and pudgy. A double chin of fat hangs
loosely over an old fashioned stand-up collar.
His short ~iron-gray mustache covers q very
ugly mouth. The hair Is we'll oiled and we'll
brushed. The black frock coat is buttoned
loosely, and on his head rests a shiny old
fashioned, broad brimmed silk hat.
This is an exact pen picture Of Judge Hill
ron as he appeared to me the other day CO.
ing down the steps Of his brown-stone palace
on Fifth avenue, and waddling from his
stoop to his spick and span carriage, where

ing steeds are taking the successor of the
great merchant prince for his ride in the
park. 1t ia the author of @Runl, Romanism

four years ago figured prominently in our
national politics, and was in all the daily
newspapers, and was even spoke of jestingly

bar rooms. He is never heard of now. He
walks along the street IN a shining suit of
black clothes, leaning on a heavy cane and
leading a little child by tho hand. He looks
we'll fed and prosperous, as indeed he should
be, for he has been a minister OF the gospel

share Of work. The penalty he paid for his
ill-timed speech ut the Blame reception, when
