USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

As an egg shell is somewhat porous they easily absorb unpleasant odors, and should be kept in n clean, airy, cool plhco-neyer in q cellar with decaying vegetables,
 --Wormwood boiled in vinegar, and applied hot with enough cloths wrapped around to keep the flesh moist, is said to be an invaluable remedy for sprain or bruise. " Western Rural.
 Soup is said to be tho best food for singers; strong soup, well made. Rare beef is good, also fruit and vegetables. Pastry and sweets are not good, but are to be avoided more because thoy hurt the complexion than because they affect the throat.
 Peach Pie A very fine peach pie may be made from the best ovaporated peaches. Soak over night in water to cover, and simmer carefully until DOT fectly tender; sweetcn to taste, and boil down the sirup until very thick and rich. Flavor with Q very little bitter almond. Country Gentleman.
 Chicken Pudding. up spring chicken, and cook tender in little water. Take up, spread on dish, sea- son with pepper, salt and butter. Make thick batter. Butter pudding dish, and put layer of chicken in, and pour over cupful of batter. Continue until the dish is full. Bake and serve with butter sauce in gravy boat.-House- hold.
 Core Gems. -One-half pint of finely bolted corn meal, one-half pint of flour, one tablespoonful of white sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt and two heaping tea spoonfuls of baking powder; mix to- gether thoroughly while dry; then add two well-beaten eggs and cold sweet milk, or milk and water, to a moderately thin batter; bake in gem pans or muffin rings.
 There Is an old-fashioned prepara- ton which our grandmotaers made for whitening the hands. Two cakes of old time brown Windsor soap were shaved fine and wine-glass of German cologne and wine-glass of lemon juice added. In day or two the liquid became incorporated with the soap so that the mixture could be nodded into a cake, Though old this is an admirable preparation or bleach for removing stains from the hands
 The English Mechanic prints the following as speedy cure for rheuma- tism: Ono quart of milk, quite hot, into which stir one ounce of alum, this will make curds and whey, Bathe part af- ] fected with the whey until too cold. In 1 tho meantime keep the curds hot, and, after bathing, put them on as poultice, wrap in flannel and go to sleep (you can) Three applications should be a perfect cure, even in aggravated cases. This may be worth trying. It can cer- tainly do no harm.
 To kill a chicken without unneces- sary pain contributor to New York Tribune advises: Hang it up by string 1 fastened around the legs, and then strike 1t a smart blow on the back of the head (not front or eenter), with round stick This deprlves tho bird of all feeling. Take the head in the left hand, comb down, insert long, narrow knife blade back beyond the skull, and in withdrawing it cut deep gash in the root of the mouth Tho fowl will bleed out freely and give only violent shud' der instead of Tapping it's wings"

Sentences Containing the Alphabet

Half dozen members of the Press Club were discussing tho peculiarities of the English language the other evening when Dr, r. E. Rice, who, by tho way, is bad man to run up against in tho discussion of almost any subject, took the Argus to task for printing para graph which road about as follows: ''The following Is said to be the short est sentence in the English language containing all the letters of the alpha bet: John P. Brady gave me black walnut box of quite small size The entire sentence contains less than twice the number of letters in the alphabet" |" That's good sentence of its kind" said the doctor, but think if you will carefully study the sentence Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs you will find that 1t contains less letters than tho sentence you published and yet omits no lotter in the alphabet" II will be seen that the sentence of the doctors construction contains fifteen letters less than sha former and also has but six supefauoas letters.

THE WORLDS END.
Tn the year 1000 Man wili Disappear From
 the Earth.

the Earth.
 A French statistician who has been studying the military and other records with view of determining the height of men at different periods has reached some wonderful results. A Frenchman is naturally an artist, even in figures. A German or an American might content himself with a dry arithmetical compil- aaen, but this artist carries his statis- tics into the realm of history and of poet ry and even of prophecy He has not only solved some porplexing problems in regard to the past of the human race, but also IS enabled to calculate its future and to determine the exact period when man will disappear from the earth. The recorded facts extend over nearly three centuries. It is found that In 1910 the average height of men in Europe was 1.75 meters, or say 5 feet 9 inches. In lT90 it was feet inches. In 1920 1t was feet inches and a fraction. At the present time 1t is . feet 34 inches. It is easy to doduce from these figures q rate of regular and gradual decline in human stature, ars then to apply this. working backward and forward, to the past and to tho future.
 By this calculation it 1t is determined that the statue of the first man attained the surprising average of lo feet g inches Truly thero were giants on earth in those days. The race had all ready deteriorated in the days of Og, and Goliath was quite degenerate offspring Of the giants. Coming down to the later times we find that at the beginning of our era, the average height of man was feet and in the time of Charlemagne 1t 1t was s feet s inches, a fact quite sufl- cient to account for the heroic deeds of the paladins
 But the most astonishing result of this scientific study comes from the applica- ton of the same inexorable law of dim mutation to the future. The calculation shows that by the year 1000 A. D. the statue of the average man will be re- duced to Is inches. At that epoch there will be only lilliputians on earth. And the conclusion of the learned statisti- clan is irresistible that the end of the world will certainly arrive, for the in- habitants will have become so small that they will finally disappear finish hy disappearing" as the French idiom expresses it-'from the terres- trial globe. e."-Philadelphi Times.
