The improvement in its appearance
wiz we'll repay you for the trouble,
White spots on furniture can be re-
moved by wetting n piece of flannel
with turpentine and then rubbing the
spot hard. IL may require several mp.
plications OF turpentine and consider
able patience and strength for the rub
bling Tor some obstinate places, but the
worst spot will yield in time. If the
white spot was caused by the spiiling
OF an alcoholic substance, it will b.
easy to e!Tace il; but heat and some
other agents mako marks which are
more difficult 10 obliterate.
Grease on clothing can be removed
by wett.ng piece OF flannel with tur-
pentine and rubbing vigorously. Per-
hapS it will require several applica-
tions Of the spirits. Still tho reward
will come in the end. Benzine, chic
reform and ether all are good for this
purpose, but turpentino, although it is
likely to show an enlarged ring on a
delicate fabric, does not change the
cOlors, MS alcohol and ether sometimes
do, and is perfectly safe for even mex
peri3ncei people 10 use. For coarse
fabrics, like mems clothes, it will be
found particularly valuable. II will
take out wheel grease and other kinds
of spots quickly and without damage

For medicinal purposes turpentine

IL the patient be in great pain, al the
end Of twenty minutes or hall an hour
wiring the flannel from hot wafer and
saturate it with turpentne. It Is a
rare thing that the second application
has TO be made. In severe cases il is
better to apply the turpentine with
lard rather than hot water. Mix the
turpentine in the proportion OF IL table
spoonful 70 an equal quantity of lard
and spread on the flannel. This prep
ara,ion can be kept on for hours with
out disturbing the patient, whereas
that made with hot water will, as a rule,

less time. Where blGating OF the
bowels occurs from accumulation of
gas, ten drops OF turpentine on a lump
Of sugar or a teaspooniul Of granulated
sugar, taken interually-three doses
In twelve hours will afford relief Ia
severe cases the dose is often as large
rs a taaspoonful; but this should be
only by a physicians advice. In bloat-
ing of the bowels in dysentery, half a
teaspOonful OF turpentine in a dose of
castOr-oil will relieve the patient.

Gri0gS Experience,

Think Grigys was the thinnest man
ever saw, writes Florence Pratt, in
the Yankee Blade. Had he entered
the living skeleton field he would have
wiped out all competition. He used TO
speak OF il sometimes in a calm, des-
pairing way.
Griggs said he was so thin that the
bones poked through his skin and cost
him n small fortune in court-plaster to
keep them from punching holes liz his
clothes.
He used to weep when he told us
that he hated TO lean up against wall
while talking to any enc, because his
bones were sure TO peck the mortar all
out before he got through, and it used
to hurt his feelings when his friends
asked him what was the mortar with
him.
We often wonder why Griggs never
smiled, but he said the smile was al
ways getting looped up on his cheek,
bones and he was too old TO begin life
as an elephant.
He remarked t1lt the sa1dest exper-
fence OF his life occurred some years
ago, when he was advised 10 go to the
AdirOndaclIs for his health. He pro-
cured a guide and Il blackboard wagon,
and away they went for the woods.
Though Grigg had never met buck
board before, he always thought they
had no springs; but he estimated that
this particular one had about two thou
sand and three springs 10 the minute.
l. ct,fTatsaI IN oil hia lifa
The guide was chewing tobacco, and.
though Grigg knew it was IN awful
thing to wish, he prayed that he might
swallow it and die. BY and by Grigg
became resigned. He began 20 lose
his sl1yward aspirations and to enjoy
life. Pretty soon they stopped and the
guide invited him TO get down. but
Grigg and the plank were so attached
by this time that he couldn't bear to
leave it.
The guide investigated, AMI began to
use painful language
He explained that Grigg's spine had
| been hammered clean through the
| board and stuck out the other side.
| Grigg said he'd seen stream OF saw
dust following the wagon for some lit
| tie ways, Lut couldn't account for it
before. The guide was very disagree
able. He said he'd had a whole board
when he left town, and wanted it back.
Grigg pointed out he had the hole
! bored now, and claimed indemnity for
the wear and tear on his back bone.
They compromised, and camped where
they were; but the guide said he
guessed he set up. He had family
dependent on him, and besides, he
didn't want to die lingering death.
In the morning, they returned TO
town. They agreed that Grigg had
better keep away from the wagon. He
wanted to ride the horse, but the guide
said he'd had that animal a great many
years and felt attached to him. He
couldn't bear to leave him die by the
roadside, far, far from home. Grigg
never went to the Adirondaclls again.
He said he'd been so bored the first
day that he didn't think it augered well
for the future.

Mr.. Herman Hollerith OF Washing
ton has invented an electric counter to
facilitate the work of the census bu-
reau in tabulating the returns for the
next census. Its adoption will save
nine-tenths IF the mechanical labor
heretofore involved, and will do it
more correctly. One part Of the ma
chine consists OF counters rGnning to
10000 and run by electric magnets.
1t is noticeable that the Rht mes vote
recorder now before the Michigan and
Wisconsin legislatures also has these
counters, though they are not run by
anything out the pressure of the elect
or on the key containing the name OF
the candidate OF his choice. Machin-
cry for counting far exceeds in ac-
curacy human hands and brains.

A writer in the Philadelphia Times.

A writer in the Philadelphia Times,
interviewing Mr.. Wanamaker in the
latter's office at Washington, records
this incident: During the lull clerk
entered the room with a payroll, on
which was written at the top, John
Wanamaker, $577.7S." The clerk re.
quested Mr.. Wanamaker to sign TIE
pay II and then handed him long

$50 bills. The money had just como
fro.n the treasury and had never been
used. 80 have TO sign the payroll

the envelope at the bright new bills he
said: Il don't know what to do with
this money. This is the first money
for salary have received since 1860.
My! that's thirty years ago! 1t seems
quite odd to sign payroll and to be
handed my pay" Then he took the
