A Surprise for Ono Who Was Not Familiar
with tho Danger Of Open Doors.
Al Young reporter who had come TO New
York from a western town, and was notac-
customed to the ways of the metropolis,
was assigned, as his first piece Of work, to
report the funeral Of a wealthy but not ex-
ceedingly prominent man who lived up.

found the house jammed to the doors with
people, and was unable, without making a
nuisance OF himself. to make his way any
further into the crowd than the newell post
OF the great mahogany stairway.
His editor had warned him of the neees-
sity Of get1nga large number of the names
of those who were present, and of the
enormity Of the crime Of having even one
OF them Incorrectly spelled. But here the
raw reporter was, hemmed in immoyably

Wholly indie fencibla

In southern archipelagos he fought tho
bloody cannibal;
He skinned and tanned the crocodile and
found him very tannable;
Not q word Of fear he'd uttered, not q
word and not syllable,
When he killed the Bengal tiger, and he
found him very kiilable.
He claimed his strength was very great,
for bears and lions suitable;
He used to boot the grizzly bear, and found
him very bootable;
He claimed in lilling monstrous snakes
that he was very capable,
No boa-constricter could escape, for he was
unacceptable.
In fighting hippopotami, he said he was in
convincible.
No jaguar could make him vince, because
he wasn't winceable;
He made the ramping elephant no longer
recognizable,
And pulverized the roaring bull, and found
him pulverizable.
Just then his wife came in and said, cpd
think it quite commendable
If you'd come and tend the baby; and
you'll find him very tendable"
The way she took him by the ear will make
this poem readable;
She pulled him out and led him home and

A SIM PIE MAN.
Portrait Of . Kentucky Minister Of the 0ldeu


Time.
A tall, thinnish man, with silky pale
brown hair, worn long and put back
behind his ears. the high tops of
which bent forward little under the
weight, and thus took on the most re-
markable air of paying incessant at
tention to everybody and everything;
set far out in front of these ears, as
though it did not wish to be disturbed
by what was heard, a white, wind
splitting face, calm, beardless, and
seeming never to have been cold, or
to have dropped the kindly dew of
perspiration; under the serene peak of
this forehead pair Of large gray
eyes, patient and dreamy, being
habitually turned inward upon a mind
toiling with hard distractions; having
within him a conscience burning al
ways like a planet; a bachelor-being
logician; therefore sweet-tempered,
never having slipped the sour cup of
experience; gazing covertly at woman
kind from behind the delicate veil of
unfamiliarity that lends enchantment;
being a bachelor and a book
worm. therefore already old at
forty, and little run down
in his toilets, little frayed out
at the elbows and the knees, q little
seamy along the back, little deficient
at the heels; in pocket poor always,
and always the poorer because of q
spendthrift habit in the matter of
secret charities; kneeling down by his
small hard bed every morning and
praying that during the day his logical
faculty might discharge its function
morally, aud that his moral faculty
might discharge its function logically,
and that over all the operations Of all
his other faculties he might find
heavenly grace to exercise both a
logical and a moral control; at night
kneeling down again to ask forgiveness
that, despite his prayer of the morn
ties-he knew and called them all
Familiarity by name, being q metaphy-
sician-had gone wrong in q, manner
the most abnormal, shameless, and un-
forseen; thus. on the whole, man shy
and dry, gentle, lovable, timid, reso-
lutte, forgetful, remorseful, eccentric,
lmpulsive, thinking too we'll of every
human creature but himself; an ulogi-
cal logician, an erring moralist, WOOL
gathering philosopher, but, humanity
speaking, almost a perfect man.

American Coins.

The gold dollar of the United States
weighs 1913 grains. The silver dollar
weighs 4122 grains. These weights
are based on the assumption that six
teen pounds Of silver are equal in
value to one pound OF gold The
smaller silver coins are of less weight
than the dollar in proportionate value,
two half dollars, four quarters or ten
dimes weighing but 384 grains The
purpose Of this difference Is obvious.
It is desirable to prevent the exporta-
ten OF these subsidiary coins as bullion.
They IRE really only counters, and are
legal tender for small amounts only.

How TO Kill Ants.

Ordinarily in households the red aat

which it causes by consuming food
products, but from It's inordinate
faculty Of getting into things. 1t Is
attracted by almost everything in the
house, from sugar to shoe polish, and
from bath sponges to dead cockroaches.
It seems TO breed with enormous
fecundlty, and the incidental killing
of OF thousand or so has little effect
upon the apparent number. A house
badly infested with these creatures is
almost uninhabitable. They form
their nests in almost any secluded spot,
between the walls, or under the floors,
or behind the base-boards, or among
the trash in some old box or trunk, or
in the lawn or garden walk just outside
the door. In each of these nests sew

Our first recommendation is to find

Ono Of the things that should be die-

A lively public interest in good high
ways must precede any effective ac-

by presenting the advantage Of better

The farmer who makes it rule to
rake up and burn all the trash in the
cultivated fields will usually find that
in short time the land will become
hard to pillow and will require more
work TO get it into good condition
for planting. Because in burning off
wheat or oat stubhle or IN raking and
burning the corn stalks. the soil will
seem loose and friable in blowing i'm
mediately after, many are led to be-
lieve that burning in this way is bene-
fetal. Just how long the plan Of
burning of each year to clean up the
fields can be followed before the effect
will be noticed, depends largely upon
the amount OF vegetable matter in the
soil. There is not a very large
amount Of manurial value contained
In dry stalks. weeds or trash, so in
blowing them under the effects is
mechanical rather than chemical It
is for the effect upon the soil rather
than the amount of plant food that
they contain, that they should be
plowed under rather than be burned.
One of the advantages OF fall blowing
is that all the trash on the land can
be plowed under, and in doing this
the soil will be kept loose and more
friable. If turned under in the fall
In good season, a large portion of
it will rot during the winter. so that

ably with the cultivation; and for this
reason they should be turned into the
soil sufficiently early to give them
plenty Of time to rot before it Is neces-
sary TO cultivate, unless cultivation Is

blowing under. Instead of being an
item to clean up and burn all OF the
trash possible In order to have clean
land, the better plan Ia to manage the
blowing as far as possible 80 as to
turn under in such a manner as to de-
rive the largest amount of benefit
and at the same time interfere the
least in the work necessary with the
crops When the plan has been fol-
lowed OF burning up verything until
the character of the soil has changed,
in many cases it will be advisable to
use straw or stalks as litter in the
sheds, stables or feed lots and then
haul out and apply to the land, plow-
Ing under as soon as possible in order
to supply or put back vegetable mat

could be secured by applying in the
fall and blowing under, considerable
benefit can be derived II done in the
winter. blowing under whenever the

Household Hint

Household Hints.
To beat the whites of eggs still with
ease they should be cold.
Cut piece from the top OF old kid
shoes and insert it inside the ironing
holder you are going to make.
Old paint stains may be removed
from clothing by rubbing the spots
with spirits of turpentine. which will
mostly evaporate.
If one wishes to cool hot dish In q
hurry. it will be found that if the dish
be placed in vessel full of cold, salty
water it will cool far more rapidly
than if it stood in water free from
salt.
Clean very fine lace with benzine.
To set delicate colors in embroider-
ed handkerchiefs, soak them ten min
utes before washing in pail of water
in which dessertspoonful OF turpen-
tine has been stirred.
For earache and toothache, and
neuralgia in head and face, the surest
remedy is a hop poultice wrung from
hot vinegar; and against such needs
one should keep on hand a half dozen
flannel bags of convenient size, stuffed
with strong, home-cured hops.
The prejudice prevails that plants
in the sleeping room are injurious,
because they are constantly throwing
off carbonic acid. Recent investiga-
tons have shown that i'll effects are
altogether too slight to deserve con-
sideration. If room is poorly venti-
lated, plants can do no harm, aud even
If 1t is not, tho quantity of carbonic
acid exhaled by them will not mater
