How He Got Cut of the Hole.

Some old stories will bear to be re- told Here is one which helped diges- tion at the last meeting of the New York Congregational Club, rela ed of a ''crusty old hanks out West" This man, it is said, refused to give his wife money to attend the missionary meet ing The same day, being caught out in a rainstorm, he crawled for shelter into the hollow of a tree. As the tree was the kind which swells when soak ed, he presently found himself pinched, and in immediate danger of being squeezed to death. Alarmed for his life, he naturally took to thinking of his sins, and especially of how he had refused his wife's request for money that morning. This last inventory of his sins made him feel so mean and lit- tie that he crawled out of the hole with astonishing ease, rhl istian ln- quirors

MEASURING HAY.
Rules That Will Work We'll Enough When
 scales Arc Not ohtainable


 There is so much difference in tho quality of hay that it is impossible to decide the matter accurately. II is gen. erally believed that 4O0 cubic feet in a large bay taking it right through, or 500 on long, wide deep eca,1oId will represent ton. When the hay is cut early, ia stored evenly over the mow, is well trodden when stored away, and is allowed to settle two or three months before measuring, erhaps it will hold out at tho above figures. When grass is allowed to stand until nearly ripe be- fore cutting. it will occupy nearly off not quite, twenty five per cent more bulk, especially y on a scatFod, than the early cut. and re- quire about that many moro cubic feet for q ton. Coarse hay. as timothy and clover, will not weigh as heavy, bulk for bulk as that which is fine like com mon prairie or wild hay 1t is much more satisfactory to both buyer and seller to weigh the hay when possible.
 In estimating by measurement, null tiply together the figures representing the length, width and height of the hay, and divide the product by the number of feet in a ton. For example, if the hay is forty feet long, sixteen feet wide and eighteen feet from the bottom to the top of the mow, and the bulk agreed is 100 feet to the ton, the mow will contain 4o plus 1G plus IS equals II, 52o cubic feet; ,520 divided by 100 equals 2S tons and 320 feet, or 2S 4-5 tons. It would require consider ably more than 100 cubic feet from tho top of such a mow for ton; while at the bottom it will have become packed So solidly from the great weight above it, that 100 cubic feet will weigh con siderable more than 2,0O0 pounds. - Drope,n I,I1 Enrn,a,.

CREAM-TINTED CURTAINS.
How to Do Them Up So They Will Look

as Good New.
 Cream-co,ored curtains, 50 much used at present, require little color ing matter in the starch at every wash ing, because otherwise they soon bc- come entirely white Tea and coffee have both been used for this purpose, but the result is not satisfactory, be- cause the tint thus given is brownisb rather than the ono desired. The 1 cream-colorcd starch sold in stores had also better be avoided as it sometimes | happens that the curtains stiffcned with it assume a decidedly sallow hue. | A lovely ivory tint is obtained through the use of boilcdrhubarb- The species referred to is the Rhcum oflicinale, in such common use as a medicine, and may be bought q. any druggists Buy ten cents worth Of rhubarb and pour upon it a pint of boiling water. Then let it cool, and stir it into a bowl of ordinary starch until the hue is exactly what you desire. The cur tains must be dried after the dirt is WdSHCu out Ol lHclli, anu t-iel bc St'it GIT ed, once more dried, and then be ironed with very hot iron. Indeed, it Is bet ter instead of sprinkling them imper- fectly, to dip the curtains quickly into a tub of clear water, and folding them up smoothly, lay them between folds of cotton cloth until they are in proper condition for ironing. With the above mentioned quantity of rhubarb from four to six small or two large pairs of curtains can be done up. One needs proportionately less rhubarb for good many curtains to be starched at the stme time. By careful attention to the above directions, curtains when donc up will look as good as new. -Harper's BaZar

none of the scenes of disorder

rience of other like afflicted cities. A
number of citizens were interviewed
with regard to the future of Spokane

that as fast as material could be
secured and put into the form
of buildings, the work of rebuild
ing the city would progress. Out

WHILE HE WAS DRUNK.
An old Physician Robbed OF AL
His Money.

HIS money a
About 2 O'Clock on Tuesday morning
an old gentleman, respectfully dressed
but considerably under the influence OF
liquor, was conveyed to the Police Station
in the patrol wagon, having been picked
up on Alameda street by Officer Martin.
He was readily recognized as old Dr.
Sweigert, who some few weeks ago was
sent to the County Hospital in order to
break him of the habitual use OF
both cocaine and morphine. He was then
in such condition as to be almost de.
mented. After remaining there several
weeks he regained his self control to such
an extent that he was discharged as
cured on Monday last. Before he had
been down town many hours, he wand
cred into Springstreet saloon and par
took of several drinks, which soon made
him intoxicated. After leaving there he
wandered around until he reached Ala.
media street, where he called at several
dsreputable houses, until he became 80
overcome with the fumes of the liquor
he had imbibed that he lay down on the
sidewalk, where he was found by the
officer. At the station he stated that he
had been robbed of his gold watch and
chain, about $35 in cash and a gold
headed cane; but where it happened he
did not have the faintest idea. 1t was
believed that he had been drugged, and
he was booked for medical treatment
