How an Indignant Man Taught II Masher q
Lifelong Lesson.
All the passengers for the noon trair
East had boarded the cars the other day
and one of them was standing on tho
rear platform of the last car, when 9
man came running up to the gate and
made great show of passing without
his ticket.
"Here-ticket, sir-ticket!" called the
officer.
''Don't stop mel" puffed the other. 81
have no ticket but want to lick that
man there before he gets out of town."
'Can't pass without ticket"
"Great Scott. but | must haven't
time to get one! Let me get at him."
''Show your ticket, STRIP
''Will you keep me from punching
that scoundrel's head when he so richly
deserves it?"
'What did he do?"
"WinBed at my wife. Will you, a mar
ried man, hinder me from teaching him
lifelong lesson?"
"No, / will not. If he is that kind of q
man go for him!"
The official stood aside to let the man
pass. He advanced slowly, and as he got
through the gate the man on the plat
form took his foot down off the railing,
threw away his stub and started to dc.
scend the steps. The other wheeled and
fed for the street like rabbit ahead of
dog, and though the winlSer called to
him in pathetic tones to come back and
get satisfaction, he disappeared away up

VALUE OF VEGETABLES.
A List of Those Which Affect Particular
Organs of the BODY.


The value of certain vegetables in pre-
venting disease, toning up the system,
and giving better health generally, was
recognized by the ancients, and even to-
day we not only recognize the medicinal
properties of such plants as nature pre-
pares for us, but put high value upon
them. Regulation of ones diet is the
great thing in most diseases, and not a
few physicians prescribe plenty of vege-
tables to patients suffering from differ
ent complaints. The vcgetarians, how
ever, carry the question to such an ex-
treme, that vegetable diet becomes in
furious rather than helpful. Meat is
essential to build up strong, healthy It's
sues in the body, and to make every or
gan that supplies the brain with blood
and energy, strong and normal in action.
But the fault of many, again, is that
they live too exclusively on meats, fish
and solid foods. A certain amount on
vegetables should be eaten every day,
so that they can work on the different
organs of nutrition, and stimulate them
in their work.
AT some seasons of the year vegeta-
bles can be obtained easily, and they
should be eaten by all, especially some
of the following, which directly or indi-
rectly affect some particular organs of
the body:
Celery acts directly upon the nerves,
and will often cure neuralgia and rheu-
matism. Asparagus will purge the
blood, and thus act upon the whole sys-
TEN. Common dandelion and bone-set
leaves, stalks and flowers, boiled up
into tea will give strength, act as
good tonic and stimulate the kidneys.
Spinach also affects this latter organ
beneficially. Tomatoes act upon the
liver, and onions, garlic, leeks, olives
and shalots give tone to the whole body
by acting directly upon the circulatory
system. Onions help the digestive or
gans, and increase the flow of saliva and
and the gastric juice. Beans and peas
contain only about two per cent. of fat,
but they are rich in starch and import
ant, and constitute somewhat concen'
trated food. They should not be eaten
to any excess by sedentary persons, but
a little will always be beneficially re-
ceived by the system.-Yankee Blade.

NO. Give a 0Ioss to LIren.

Nothing gives gloss and newness tc
shirt fronts or any linen more than a
solution of gum-arabic put into tho
starch. Put two ounces of white gum
powder into vessos with pint of boil
ing water, and leave ii until morning;
then pour from it any sediment into 1.
clean bottle; keep it corked, and when
required for use stir tablespoonful into
pint of starch made in tho usual way.
The great secret in doing up collars and
shirts Is, after having starched them, to
let them thoroughly dry, then damp
well and lpt them remain tightly rolled
in dry cloth for two or three hours;
then pull out and smooth carefully, and
before applying the iron, which should
be very hot, rub the surface of the linen
over with fine, dry cioth.--Louisyille

STRAWBERRIES.
What an Old Grower Has Learned Abou
Than

| What an Old Grower Has Learned About
| Them.
1 have been taking notes, writes Wal
do f. Brown, in Orange Judd Farmer, on
| the management of strawberries, and
have changed my mind in one particular,
at least. l have been growing straw
| berries more or less for thirty years and
have nearly always plowed up my beds
after they had borne single crop, and l
| was fully convinced that it was less
work to clean out new bed than
to clean out an old one. am now
quite sure that it pays to keep bed in
bearing two years or more. l have never
seen finer crop of berries than saw
growing on bed four years old. II the
bed is to stand for successive crops the
rows should be set four feet apart. l
like this distance anyhow, as it en-
ables you to have a broad matted row,
and at the same time path for the
pickers.
"The Squire" had an acre planted in
this way, and as the weather was very
wet it was completely overgrown with
grass, weeds and clover by the time the
picking season was over. / said to my
self, he can never clean out that bed.
He went on to it, however, with the
moving machine and cut every thing as
close as possible, and then raked it up
and took the waste to the barnyard.
Then with a one-horse bar plow, with
rolling cutter, he plowed it out, leaving
a strip six inches wide at each row, and
two burrows thrown together covered
every thing between the rows. He
allowed the bed to stand this way until
soaking rain fell, and by band and
hoe cleaned out the rows with much
less labor than would have been re-
quired to have planted the same amount
of land.
When the land was in the right con-
dition to work the ridges between the
rows were leveled down with one
horse harrow, and later were cultivated
frequently. Now he has bed of straw
berries far superior to those adjoining
which were planted last spring, and tits
perfectly free from weeds. The rows
are gradually widening as the new run
ners set, and are now fifteen inches
wide, and before the growing season
ends will be two feet wide. Ny two.
year-old bed last year yielded double
what the yearling bed did, and com

The SOURCES of wrinkles.

DR.. Peppenbrook writes in the st
Louis Globe-Democrat that the general
impression about wrinkles is that they
are caused by worry, but the truth is
that most OF them come from laughing.
To know how to laugh is just as i'm
portant as to know when to do it. If
you laugh with the sides of your face
the skin will work loose in time, and
wrinkles will form in exact accordance
with the kind of a laugh you have. Tho
man who always wears smirk will
have series of semi-circular wrinkles
covering his cheeks. A gambler, who
is accustomed to suppressing his feel
ings, generally has deep line running
from each side of his nose to the upper
corner of his mouth, which in course of
time extends to the chin, forming the
shape of a half-moon. A cadaverous
person is usually marked with two wrin-
Sles, one on the jaw and the other under
the eye, meeting at right angles at tho
cheek bones. The scholars wrinkle
forms on his brow, while a schemer's
wrinkles come around his eyes, and
like spolles of wheel.

Catarrhal Deafness--IIay Fever--A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due TO the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that q simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

SOME CRITICISMS.
There have been criticisms made recently that
the officers of the Navy Yard did not extend the
proper courtesies of salutes to President Harrison
and also to Secretary Tracy and the Bureau Off
GERS The fact is that the proper courtesies have
been extended For instance, at the Centennial
celebration in this city President Harrison wGg
saluted at that time. Upon the occasion OF Secrc-
tarv Tracy's first official visit TO the yard the
regulation salute was given TO him, was also
done upon the official visits OF other officers enti-
fled to salutes. When the esident passed mp
the river on the Pilgrim few days ago he also
received the proper salute. Most of Secretary
Tracys visits to the Yard have, however, been
official visits. and upon such occasions he is not
saluted and this is also true of other officers.
The following from the rules and regulations Of
the Navy has also to be regarded " The same
funcionary shall not be saluted by the same YES
sci at the same place oftener than once in twelve
months except when it may be necessary in cases
of foreign officials, of naval or military officers
who have been advanced i'm rank Occasionally,
however an exception Is made to this rule.
These changes Of officers have taken place on
vessels at the yard in the last few days: Ensign
George L. Evans has been ordered to the Chicago
Lieutenant W. :. Hughes has been ordered to the
Yantic and Boatswain John Mclaughlin TO the
receiying-Ship Vermont.
Commodore Walker made a visit to the Navy
Yard yesterday, and had a talk with Commodore
Ramsey
