Too Intimate.
From the Texas Siftings.


Save us from the neighbor who thinks
herself intimate enough to be priv
legged to enter our house without knock
ing. You can never foresee when she
will be down upon you. Do you stand
before your mirror, razor in hand, in
shirt sleeves, with face covered with
lather? Then it is that she glanced in
with a smirk, "Just to say good morn
ing" and ruffies your temper, and de-
molishes your sense of dignity. Is your
wife without a cook or maid, and is she
in the kitchen flushed, and perspiring,
and untidy, getting up a hasty meal?
The intimate neighbor is dead sure to
rush in unannounced. ana when you
beg her to step into the sittingroom,
coolly passes you and surprises the
mistress Of the house over the hot
stove. Then too, the wretched eff
forts the latter makes to appear at ease,
and to make the vulgar visitor feel tn at
it is delightful for one to be surprise d
with her hands in dish water and SCOT
spot on her cheek, is enough to give
one the lock-jaw. And as for the mis-
cradle man who tried in vain to stop
the LADY in the parlor. his actions in
the. privacy of the bed chamber are
those of a wild and desperate crea-
ture. Is there no remedy for this most
ntolerable of all nuisances?

Too Much Bathing Bad for Athletes.


Says an old and experienced athlete:
This is the season of the year when
young men who are fond of athletics
ought to listen to sound advice in regard
to bathing. But of course they won't,
for they think thew know it all. After
sprint or game of ball on hot day,
they will 90 off and take cold shower
bath before they have cooled of, a prac-
tice which is always dangerous and Oft
en- fatal. The intelligent athlete in
dulges In no such Jolly, but having taken
the lightest possible sponge-bath to re-
move the perspiration, allows himself
to cool off gradually. Bathing is good
thing; but indiscriminate and unwise
bathing is almost worse than no bathing
at all. | know young men with whom
bathing has become q mania, and whose
skin has become dry and scaly, because
they are constantly washing off the nat
ural oil necessary to keep the skin in
good condition. 1t is interesting to note
the fact that the Romans were a great
people until they became addicted to
the bath. That period marked the be-
ginning of their decline and fall off, as
Mr.. Wegg would say. To ali, whether
athletes or cot, [ would say: Don't let
the bathing habit grow on you, for if
you do, you will surely wash away much
Of you that is essential to your physical

How to Live Long.

What is the secret? everybody will

Heine. IA man should be very careful, %

fact, to begin with, is to come of good
stock-to have had line OF ancestors

speaking, female. Women" Hufe-

men live the longest. 1t would take
too long to inquire why; suffice 1T that
the statement carries conviction with 1t.

us to know, on such good authority as
DR.. Roose's, that wealth does not neces-
sarily insure prolonged existence, The

know that, if lie is not SO pleasant for
them as for the rich, it is likely to be at
least quite as long. if not longer. More
over, certain proportion OF them may
be still further gratitied to learn-the
average street boy will delight in it
that cleanliness is, seemingly, by no
means essential to longevity. We read
of a feminine centenarian who, accord
ing to DR.. Roose, must have been a
''singulariy dirty person." She
smeared her face with lard, and
thought that if she washed she would
be sure to catch cold. But perhaps it
would not be wise to argue too rigidly
for even hall dozen cases of this sort.

He Sees Ghosts.

There is an old man working on the
farm of gentleman living il Augusta,
Ca, by the name of Stearns, who sees
all sorts of supernatural things. He is a
Bostonian and has been successful on
Southern farms. He claims to COM
mune with spirits, and holds many
midnight conferences with them in the
lonely swamps on the farm which he
works. He is dreaded by the negroes
of the neighborhood. His gesticula-
tons and CALCULATIONS at times, when
spirits appear to him, are weird and
unearthly, and fear of their recurrence
causes people to shun him. He ad-
dresses his negro farm hands as Mr.

Trained to 1t.
From the Philadelphia News.


On side lot near the Forepaugh
grounds on Broad Street. there was a
fakir yesterday whose. outfit consisted
of the stake and ring game. This sim
pie and enticing amusement Is played
as follows: The stake is placed in the
ground at a certain ANGLE. which leads
the uninitiated to believe that it is easy
to throw the thirty-fve rings over it,
whereas this feat is almost impossible.
The fakir had crowd around him, and
was raking in the dimes-three ties
for 10 cents-when black-mustached
middle sized man walked up and said
he'd bet dollar he could put three
rings out of five over the stake.
The f&kir winked at the crowd and
took the man up. The black-mus-
tached stranger threw five rings rapid
ly, one after the other, and, as three OF
them were on the stake, the thrower
was in 90 cents. They doubled bets
and the stranger won again. Then
they bet $40 even that nine rings out of
the first ten thrown could not be put
over the stake. The whole ten eettled
safely. and the takir. as he handed $40
IN silver over, said:
I'm broke; what's your business?"
I'm a distributor at the post-office,"
said the ringthrower. 81 don't do

Transforming an Old House.
From the Philadelphia Times

From the PnlldQe!pnla llIneS.
| number among my acquaintance a
half dozen young teachers in private
school who have spent the weeks Of
their warm weather vacation for two or
three years past camping in building
which i'll its former estate was wood
shed on the picturesque Massachusetts
Coast, near Gloucester. Last year the
main room of this festive establishment
bad it's side walls, which are not plas-
tered, covered with burlaps laid on fiat
and fastened by strip of oiled pine,
which answered for picture moulding.
Autumn leaves stenciled on in metallic
colors gave character to the frieze. All
through the spring months these young
women have been busy with the decor
alive work for the 1889 campaign. An
important feature of the room this sum-
mer is to be a portiere made ofhempen
rope just out of the store. This article
of furniture was manufactured, so to
speak, in position, pole was adjusted
at the proper height and the rope tied
over it. The cords were then knotted
to form diamond patterned network,
making band perhaps sixteen inches
deep across the curtain. A quantity of
perforated wooden balls have been
turned out by the carpenter, and these
were next strung on the cords three or
four deep, as in making the bamboo
portiere. Below the balls came knot
ting and then more balls, and so on to
the floor. When completed the balls
were given a coat OF gold paint and the
cords were painted a coppery bronze.
Two of the holiday makers are now at
work on the knotted Irvine window cur
tains of the same sort, with smaller
balls to correspond. The curtains are
to be all of gold color, believe.

The Busy BeeUle.

A curious result of the work of spe
cies OF beetle was recently discovered in
a house in Portland, Me. Where two
matched boards came together in the
sheathing of a room, the rounded rib,
about the size of lead pencil, for 8
length of two feet and half, had been
replaced with what looked like porous
mass of fine sawdust, which was by
some means so held together as to as
sumo the exact shape of the original
wood. Investigations with pen-knife,
tunnel under the surface, filed with
the same fine dust and about three
inches long, at the end of which was
q small and very active black beetle
busily engaged in literally eating his
way through life, with an lnexhaustible
supply of food in front. The ant is not
the bug-model of industry.
