Fat Rpartans

The ancient spartans paid as much atten. tion to the rearing of men as the cattle- breeders in modern England do to the breed- ing of cattle. They took charge of tho flrmness and looseness of mems flesh, and regulated the degree of fatness to which 1t Is lawful, in free state, for any citizen to e1. tend his body. Those who dared to grow too soft or too fat for military exercise and the service of Sparta were soundly whipped.
 In one particular instance, that of Nauclis. the son of Polybius, at which his unlawful fatness was publicly exposed, and he wss threatened with perpetual banishment if he did not bring his body within the regular Spartan compass, and give up his culpable mode of living, which was declared to be more worthy of an Ionian than of son of Laced@mon:-New York Ledger.

receptacle for all sorts of knickknacks, sug-
gests The Decorator and Furnisher. A cur
tain or drapery of any effective material is
first attached, and this is looped up, left hang
ing or arranged according to the exigencies
of the situation. A shelf is placed half way
down the back, with festooned valance, and
on this stand photographs in frames and any
pretty triAes in the way of ornaments. Then
below are suspended small pictures and other
things, and at the base is a box Of growing
plants; at each end a tall, uprising bush OF
foliage, grass, peacock feathers or rushes. A
good sized engraving or sketch may be hung
in the middle in place of the shelf, with
brackets on either side holding photographs
or small pieces of statuary.

4 Nerr Gnnnowder.

A now guupowder, the invention of Mr..
HenCst, has recently been tested, and the re-
suits point to it as a promising substitute for
black powder for military and sporting pur-
poses. The new powder is prepared from
straw, which is pulverized, chemically treated,
and finished in granular form for use 1t Is
claimed for this powder that it is smokeless,
aameless, practically non-fouling and nom
heating, and that both the recol and the re-
mort are less than those Of black powder, with
superior penotrative power. From the pow
erful character of this explosive, which
weight for weight, is l5Oper cent stronger
than gunpowder, and is not ezplodable by
conclusion, it is probable that in compressed
form it will be found to be applicable to blast
inc DurDOSeS.

Oil i'm Laundry Work.

Kerosene oil and paraffine oil are used by
some people in washing clothes. They loosen
the dirt and make it wash out easily, but the
unpleasant smell left in the clothes is an OBJ
lection. The method is to put the oil, say a
teaspoonful to a gallon of water, in the
boiler with the soap. If the clothes are well
aired the odor passes of to great extent
and there is certainly saving in hard rub
bling from the use Of either of these oils, but
they are not advisable for woolens or colored
things
