There is reason in everything, but not
every reason given is true. About washing
clothes, for instance, common sense and the
chemistry of everyday life teach us that Ger
tain things must be done, while others may

clean, sweet, pure and wholesome without
either injuring the fabric or the hands of the
lsundress If these objects can be attained,
it does not matter to what methods are
used and the soap or soap powder, no mat
ter what ii is called, that will admit of the
most varied methods of use is the handiest
Some things, however. are important to
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tirely removed from the interstices of the
clothes nj all microbes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way to do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water. by constant self agitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses them from dirt, and disease
breeding microbes, as they can be cleansed
in no other way--snd without in any man.
ner Inluring the fabric. As there is no
royal road to learning, neither is there any
easier, surer or safer way of washing clothes
clean and freeing them from all disease

Pyle's Pearline. and to strictly follow the
directions accompanying each package.
Above all things, avoid any soap or soap

The old house by the lindens Stood silent tn the shade, And on the graveled pathway The light and shadow played. l saw the nursery windows Wide open t0 the air: But the faces of the children, They were no longer there. The large Newfoundland house dog Was standing by the door; He looked for his little playmAtes Who would return no more. They walked not under the lndens, They played not ln the hall: Hut shadow. and silence, and sadness Were hanging over all. The birds sang in the branches With sweet, familiar tone: But the voices of the children Will be heard fin dreams alonei And the boy that walked beside me, He could not understand Why closer in mine. ah closer, pressed his warm. soft hand

many "wild" girls that freaks of this class receive only SIPS . week. Ossi- fed men are paid from e2OO to $500, and arc considered very profitable freaks in well-conducted museums. Genuine Hindoo snake -charmers re- ceive about e175 a week. Glass caters draw weekly salaries ranging from s75 to $l25. Twins and triplets receive $lO0 dollars for the same length of time. Men with remarkable memories, boomerang throwers and such ordinary curiosities get from &25 to s100 6 week.
 Freaks are rarely kept in any dime museum over two weeks at one time. Managers find that if kept longer than this they hardly prove sources of profit.

"Another rich man in luck" was the expression heard yesterday morn- ing, when 1t was learned that Dr. E. T. Robberson held one- twentieth of ticket No. 64,109, which drew the second capital prize of $l00, ,000 in the Louisiana State Lottery drawing on the l2th inst. It Is 6 proverbial fact that the neat little sum of i've thou sand dollars Is not picked up every time the wind blows from the south.
 Dr. Robberson was visited by rep resentatlve of the Herald, who found him at the Exchange bank.
 In reply to the reporters questions, he stated: "I did not draw anything in the Louisiana State Lottery, and of course never invested anything."
 "We have e letter that accuses you of drawing & prize," was the reply.
 "Well, Pll tell you, did not draw any prize myself, but I have two young friends who did, and collected the money for them. A young lady and young gentleman wbo live near Springfield Gin joking manner) con- cluded to try their luck in the Louis. jana State Lottery.

 The household superstitions of Ja- pan arc very numerous. They are harmless, often exciting laughter yet co entrenched are they in the house hold that religion, argument, even ridicule cannot destroy them. Some of these expectations have a moral or educational purpose, inculcating les sons Of benevolence, ncatness and habits of cleanliness. A room is never swept immediately after the departure of the inmate for fear of sweeping out the luck. At . marriage ceremony neither the bride nor the groom wears any clothing of a purple color lest their marriage be soon dissolved, purple being a color most likely to fade. If the cup of medicine Is upset by acci- dent during the illness of . person 1t is a sure sign of his recovery. This looks as If the Japanese had faith in our proverb, "Throw physic to the dogs" There are some curious ideas in regard to the finger mails. They must not be cut before starting on a journey, lest disgrace fall upon the person at his destination. Neither should they be cut at night, lest cats claws should grow out. Children who throw the parings of the nails into the fire are in danger of some great calamity. If a piece should fly into the fire while cutting the person will soon die.
 The bowling of a dog portends death. If 6 woman steps over an egg shell she will go mad If over a razor 1t will become dull; If over . whet- stone 1t will break. If 6 man should set his hair on fire he will 20 mad. Children are told If they tell . lie an oni (imp) will pull out their tongues. The wholesome terror of the oni, ready to run away with his tongue, has caused many 6 Japanese youth to speak the truth.
 The Japanese have a horror of the they always keep a light burning to ward of ghosts. The junkmen believe In a ghost who comes to them and politely asks to borrow . dipper. The answer decides the fate of the junkmAn. If a dipper with . bottom is bestowed upon the ghost he uses 1t to bail water enough to swamp the junk, but if the bottom can be knocked out and thrown ct him he In this last case the act must be accompanied by an incanta- tion, or the ghost turns into . sea many clawed monster-who will drag the junk to the bottom.
 The Japanese are 6 gentle, sensitive race, very much under the influence of their emotions. Love with them is . serious matter, often one of lie or death. Disappointment in love or de- sertion frequently ends In suicide. the girl becomes an aven- ger and implores the gods to curse or visit with death the destroyer of her peace. The passions which thrill and the human soul are as intense in far-away heathen Japan ss in those lands which boast e higher civiliza-
