How the Money Was Saved.

Detective-I have discovered, sir,
that your confidential ook-keeper,
Mr.. De Clerk. is a defaulter to the ex-
tent of many thousands of dollars. AS
he has lived plainly, and has not gam
bled in stocks. he must still have all
your money in his possession; but if
we arrest him. you will never get it,
of course; and if we corner him and
try to compromise for half Or two
thirds. he will probably skip to Cana
da with the whole Doodle.
Business NANNY goodness: Mr..
De Clerk!
Mr.. De Clerk-Yes, sir.
Business Man-Mr De Clerk, a few
days ago, refused you the hand of my
daughter, and l afterward employed
this gentleman, who is a detective, to
look closely into your personal char
acter and past history. His report re-
fers in such detail to your correct hab-
its and business aptitude that l have
changed my mind. You shall have

OZONE AND DISEASES.
New Facts Concerning the Relation of
PLANTS to the Public Health.

New Facts Concerning the Relation of
Plants to the Public Health.
Ozone-active oxygen-is believed
to be a product of plant life, espec-
tally, according to DR.. Anders, the
product of opening blossoms. AS
ozone is believed to be the agent which
destroys the germs of disease, or per-
haps prevents their active develop
ment. the relation of plants to the pub
lie health assumes a new interest.
There was marked deficiency of
ozone in the atmosphere at Marseilles
during the existence of cholera there.
and in one hospital where artificial
ozone was provided the death-rate
was low. The fatality was found
to be greatest always in pro-
portion to the smallest amount of
atmosphere ozone. The influence of
thunder-shower on vegetation is we'll
known to be wonderful, and it is said
that after thunder-showers the atmos-
phere always presents marked adj
ditiOn to it's ozone, and instances are
given where epidemics at once ceased
after thunder-showers. The atmos-
pheric fragrance SO perceptible after
summer thunder-shower is referred
to the increase of ozone. The belief
becoming prevalent that pine forests
aid in the production of ozone, does
not find support. 1t is well known that
the terrible yellow-fever scourge of
few years ago was just as prevalent if
not more so in some of the thickly-
growing pine regions of Southwestern
Mississippi as elsewhere. There is
more ozone in a pine forest than in the
open, but this is attributed to the
greater presence of moisture in the
air, and not to any influence direct
from the pine-trees. Humidity with a
high temperature seems to be par
ticularly favorable to the existence of
ozone. Humidity under a low tenn
perature has no influence whatever.
A moist and cool climate may be un-
much healthier than has generally
been supposed. The exact manner in
which ozone acts in favor of health is
not yet known. The proof seems to
tend to the conclusion that there is nc
physiological action connected with it.
And yet there seems to be an active
consumption of ozone in what may be
termed the purifying process. This
ould indicate that besides being in
some measure an agent opposed to the
development Of disease germs, it also
acts as an oXidiZer.-San Francisco

WELL WORTH KNOWING.
Ten Domestic Notes of More than Ordi
nary Interest.

All housekeepers should know:
l. That salt will curdle new milk;
hence. in preparing milk porridge,
gravies, etc, salt should not be added
until the dish is prepared.
2. That clear boiling water will
remove tea stains and many fruit
stains. Pour the water through the
stain, and thus prevent its spreading
over the fabric.
3. That ripe tomatoes will remove
ink and other stains from white cloth;
also from the hands
4. That tablespoonful of turpentine
boiled with white clothes will aid in
the whitening process.
5. That boiled starch is much i'm
proved by the addition of a little
sperm. salt or gum arabic dissolved.
6. That beeswax and salt will make
rusty flatirons as clean and smooth as
glass. Tie lump of wax in rag and
keep it for that purpose When the
irons are hot, rub them first with the
wax rag, then scour with paper Or
cloth sprinkled with salt.
Z. That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportions and ap-
piled to the bedsteads is an unfailing
bedbug remedy, as 3 coat of white
wash is for the walls of a Lighthouse.
s. That kerosene will soften boots
and shoes that have been hardened by
water, and render them as pliable as
new.
9. That kerosene will make tin tea
kettles as bright as new. Saturate a
wooden rag and rub with it 1t will
also remove stains from vanished
furniture.
10. That cool rain water and soda
will remove machine grease from
washable fabrics. Sanitarium.

VERY BAD TASTE.
Serious Subjects of Which No One Should
Make Light.

Serious subjects OF Which No One Should
Make Light.
1t takes certain hard personal ex-
periences to teach US effectually that
there are subjects of which no one
should make light. A lady who was
in deep trouble was sitting at the dim
ner table of friend, when some one
told the following story of W. S. Gill
bert, the English humorist:
Gilbert was one day walking along
the street and met a friend, who was
looking very melancholy. What's
the matter?" cried Gilbert. why do
you look so sad?"
Il have lost my mother" was the
reply.
A short time passed. Again the two
friends met. and the humorist repeat
ed his question: why do you look so
doleful?"
Il have lost my father" said the
other, and Gilbert rejoined: Dear
me. what a careless man you must
be!'
When the story was finished a hearty
laugh went round the table, but one
person quietly rose and left the room.
1t was the lady. whose father had died
within the year.
Il could not wait to be excused"
she said. afterward. to her hostess, Il
was afraid should cry"
Many of us who have keen sense
of the ludicrous are willing to smile at
some joke which, though it may not
be in good taste, is certainly funny.
Like the boy who insisted on reading
''partridges' insteadn of ..patriarchs,"
we feel that we may be occasionally
excused for making game" of sacred
subjects, and laugh, with a sort of
mental apology. at pleasantries which
deal with religion, or with the dead.
1t is well to remember that neither
subject can be lightly touched upon in
any promiscuous assembly without
bringing acute pain to some member
of it Our own mental cuticle may be
thick as that of the rhinoceros, but
there are those all about US whom
grief has fayed alive, and who vince
at every touch of remembrance

THE HAlF-CENT PIECE.

we Had 1t in the Republics Early Days
and May Have 1t Again.
1t is stated that petition will go be
fore the next Congress asking for the
coinage of the half cent, and already
the proposition is bringing out some
discussion. The fact that the half
cent was recognized as factor in our
currency during the early days of the
Republic, and that its coinage was dis
continued without provoking any effect
i've remonstrance from the people would
seem to be a strong argument against
repe ating the experiment At the
time when the half cent was in cir
culation, the people were of neces-
sity as careful of their money as they
have been at any time since. They
and their fathers before them had been
trained in the hard school of colonial
experience. They had but little money.
and what they did have was gained
only by hard work, and saved only by
economy, which amounted in many
cases to privation. They were as like
Iy to make account of the half cent as
their descendants, more favorably
situated. are likely to be- Another
reason, which has no force now, had
something to do with the recognition
of the half cent in the earlier days
The people had been accustomed to
reckon money in shillings and pence.
and when the change was made to the
decimal system there were few, II any,
States in which the shilling represent
ed an even number of cents A shilling
was lac in New York, 163c in New
England. and so on. The half cent ena-
bled the people to approximate the value
of the shilling more closely than could
have been done had the cent been the
lowest denomination coined. But with
these reasons in favor of the half cent,
it ceased to be regarded as necessary
by the people, and its coinage was dis
continued. The half cent had been
authorized by act of Congress. April
2. 1892. 1t was to be of copper, and
its weight 1872 grains The weight
was changed by act of Congress. in
1898, to 104 grains. and again, by
proclamation of the President, in 1896,
to 81 grains 1t was finally discontin-
ued, by act of Congress. February 81.
1857. the total amount coined having
reached $50. 926- IL.
This, in brief, is the history of the
half cent, and would appear to indi-
cate that after fair trial it was not
recognized by the people as neces-
sary factor of the currency. but on the
other hand there are several argu-
ments that may be urged in its favor.
It would seem reasonable that value
which persistently continues to be
recognized in the commercial circles
of a country should be represented in

DANGEROUS HEADACHES.
A Physician Discourses on Their Cause
and Remedies.

and Remedies.
There are many kinds of head
aches" said a doctor recently. 'In
very distinct variety. It is generally
located in front of the head. across
the forehead over the eyes. It may
be in other parts, though-at the top
of the head, at one or both sides, at
the back, Or all over. 1t is painful,
depressing, disabling. A man feels at
the height of the paroxysm like a
hunter who has galloped his legs clean
off, and who could not leap three
foot ditch to save his life. The spur
is of no use, neither is the whip. The
pain in the head is worse to bear than
either. and the patient will rather en-
dure both whip and spur than make
any kind of effort which will make
the head pain worse. Physic by
itself is of no use. There is not sim
gle drug know to medical science
which will of itself at once and perma-
| nently cure a nervous headache. On
the other hand drugs are not always
needed. A complete change of air and
circumstances will usually take away
the pain in ten Or twelve hours. Per-
feet rest of a duration proportional to
the severity and long continuance of
the symptoms will make the cure per-
manent. There are, of course, meth
DDS of relieving and diminishing the
pain until such time as it may be pos
sible to obtain the complete rest But
the rest is the thing to be secured at
all costs. If not, the pain goes from
bad to worse and the risk from less to
greater. The final consequence it is inn
possible to predict except that break
down sooner Or later is inevitable, and
the breakdown may be for year or
for lifetime. A nervous headache is a
danger signal; if it be frequent the
danger is increased and. if continuous,
catastrophe is imminent The driver
| must put on his breaks at all hazards,
Or he will probably soon have a leap
for his life. There are very few sets of
circumstances in which it is man 8
duty to go on with his work when he
is in this condition, at all risks. Even
threatened bankruptcy had better be
risked than threatened life. Besides
man who is in the unyielding grip of
a permanent headache is not really the
best Judge of his own circumstances.
He magnifes and distorts things
amazingly. He takes counsel of his
fears and abandons his hope and cour-
age altogether. Rest Immediately and
sufficient is the sovereign remedy.

year very soon. IN. Y. Mail and

When to Feed Livestock.

How often should animals be fed?
This is matter of Importance. as
feeding involves considerable labor.
As a rule, feeding quickly forms
habit, and animals will become accus-
toned to whatever manner may
be adopted so long as the digestive
functions are not disturbed. Two
meals daily, at intervals of twelve
hours, are quite sufficient, and ara
probably better for the animal. giving
the digestive organs full time for the
performance of their functions, than
three, at intervals of six hours in the
day and twelve hours in the night
There is no doubt that any herd or
flock will thrive just as we'll with two
feeds in the twenty-four hours as with
three in twelve hours and a twelve
hours fast Dairyman.

the coinage of that country, either
as distinct coin or by COM
bination of coins. OF course, in
the case of the half-cent combination
is impossible. and yet. without any
fractional currency to represent it, the
half cent plays an important part in
the daily round of trade. 1t not unfre-
quently represents the margin of profit
Or loss, and goods are habitually
marked at prices which take account
OF it If the purchaser buys more
than single unit in this calculation,
whether of yard, pound. number, Or
whatever standard the goods are sold
by, he gets the benefit of the half cent,
but If he requires no more than a unit
he OF necessity pays the half cent ad-
ditional or saves" it by purchasing
more than he actually requires. In
short, the people. after permitting the
half cent to be dropped from their list
of coins, have chung to the
value which it would represent
with tenacity which sug-
gests the possibility of its practical
use. Again it is reasonable that the
half cent. as a coin, might play some
part in the exercise of economy. A
cent, by itself, is an insignificant af-
fair, and yet, by passing daily, and
many times a day, from hand to hand,
it represents an enormous total in any
active community before a years end.
In many of the transactions in which it
figures on this journey. half cent
would very likely have served the pur-
pose equally as well, and while the
difference to the individual might be
slight the difference in the aggregate
would be a material saving to any
community. state or nation. 1t is just
possible that the coinage of the half
cent ought to be resumed. At all
events. it will be interesting to follow

presented, will be almost certain to
provoke Manchester On HI Union
