Uses for Old Paper.

Most housekecpers know how in
valuable newspapers are for pack
ing away the winter clothing, the
printing ink acting as defiance to
the stoutest moth, some housewives
think, as successfully as camphor
or tar paper. For this reason news
papers are invaluable under the
carpet, laid over the regular carpet
paper. The most valuable quality
of newspapers in the kitchen, how
ever, is their ability to keep out the
air. It is we'll known that ice, COM
pletely enveloped in newspapers so
that all air is shut out, will keep
longer time than under other con-
ditions; and that a pitcher Of ice
water laid in newspaper, with the
ends of the paper twisted together
to exclude the air, will remain all
night in any summer room with
scarcely any perceptible melting of
the ice. These facts should be util-
lied ofterer than they are in the care
of the sick at night. In freezing
ice cream, when the ice is scarce,
pack the freezer only three quarters
full of ice and salt, and finish with
newspapers. and the difference in
the time of freezing and quality of
the cream is not perceptible from
the result where the freezer is
packed full of ice. After removing
the dasher, it is better to cork up
the cream and cover it lightly with
a packing of newspapers than to
use more ice. The newspapers re-
tain the cold already in the ice bet
ter than a packing of cracked ice
and salt, which must have crevices
to admit the air.-Scientific Amer'n.

Happy Men.

The old Persians, who had many
authors of singular penetration, gave
the world the following proverb:
There are two men in the world
who are perfectly happy; two men
whose minds may be at rest. The
first is the wholly ignorant man,
who is happy because he thinks
that he knows everything.
"The second is the really learned
man, who is happy because he
knows that there will always be
something for him to learn"
This proverb suggests certain
maxims which were the favorites
of Massachusetts, clergyman, now
dead, and which were as follows:
When a man knows not, and
knows not that he knows not, he is
a fool; shun him.
When a man knows not, and
knows not that he knows not, he is
simple; teach him.
When a man knows, and knows
not that he knows, he is asleep !;
wake him.
When a man knows, and knows
that he knows, he is wise; follow
him.-Youth's Companion.

A BOY IN A WELL.
Plucky Efforts to Escape Death
He Climbs Smooth Wall.

A lively fourteen-year-old lad
named Jones, in the country town
Of Preston, has had an experience,
says a late dispatch from Norwich,
Conn.,, the memory of which will
abide with him. In the rear of his
home is very deep we'll, the curb
ing Of which is of seamless sections
of big drain tiles smoothly dove
tailed together. In leaning over the
well to recover his jackknife, which
had fallen on the edge of the well,
he lost his balance and plunged
head first down the dark cylinder.
It is forty-five feet to the water and
fifteen feet farther to the bottom.
The boy caught the we'll rope, but
went to the bottom in an instant.
Then he came to the surface, and
being an expert swimmer easily
kept himself atloat. He called for
help, but evidently his voice barely
scared to the surface Of the earth.
He swan around the sides of his
perpendicular prison few times,
and the desperate nature of his
condition was apparent. But he
was plucky. If he kept on swim
ming long, he reasoned, he would
soon be exhausted and sink. So
he managed to fix his head and
shoulders against one side of the
we'll and his feet against the oppo-
site one, and in that position rested
for several moments.
He then gazed upward. The tall
shaft narrowed like tunnel above
him and at the top was capped by
a round segment of blue sky, which
seemed immensely far away. The
boy decided to make an effort to
climb to the top of the we'll. The
well tiling is very wide, but the boy
was baretooted and his muscular
toes and fingers stuck to the smooth
curb like the feelers of a leech.
He began to crawl upward. He
went slowly and without slip un-
til he was within foot or two of
the top Of the shaft, and then sud-
denly his clutch slipped and a Sec
ond time he shot down the we'll,
going to the bottom. He came to
the surface of the water quickly,
and after moments rest again be-
gan his toilsome upward climb, and
again, when within foot of it's top,
he lost his hold and plunged again
to it's bottom.
A third time he essayed the feat,
and that time was successful. He
pulled himself out of the shaft,
stepped over the well curb, and fell
breathless and exhausted on the
ground. The flesh had been strip
ped from his fingers by the cutting
grain of the drain tiles and his fin
ger nails were worn to the quick. /

Dried Human Heads.

There is another article of Ecua-
doris commerce which, though not
reckoned in any market reports, is
worthy of especial notice, viz hu-
man heads, dried and pressed to
about the size of your fist, each
wearing the most life-like express
sion upon the most perfectly pre-
served features. Most of the faces
are elaborately tattooed and all have
long black hair, the lips sewn to-
gether with fibers twisted into coarse
heavy fringe like that in macram's
lambrequin. Centuries ago a tribe
of Indians living near the northern
border of Ecuador used to preserve
the craniums of their dead in this
manner. Nobody now living knows
how it was done, but it is supposed
that the bones were all drawn out
bit by bit through the neck and then
the head was buried in the hot, dry
sand until it shrank away to one
fourth its former size and became
perfectly preserved. AS household
adornments the gruesome recuordos
of dead folk are certainly not hand
some, but they are very curious,
especially since the art of preparing
them has long been lost and the
sewed-up lips tell no secrets. They
used to bring about SIG apiece, but
now command all the way from 800
to $500 and are very scarce at that.
Years ago the Ecuadorian Govern
ment put stop to this sale, as it
was learned that some modern In
dians, instead Of dealing exclusively |
in the brain pans Of their defunct
ancestors, actually made a business
of preparing fresh ones for the
market. Since long-haired ones
sold for the highest price they took
care of the capillary adorn-
ments of their wives and daughters,
with view to cutting their heads
off, one by one. There is no doubt
that this traffic in dried heads cost
many lives, for the price paid by
museums and curio-hunters was
enough to set an Ecuador Indian
up in afnuence for all the rest of his
days, could he manage to judicious-
ly market his superauous children
and relatives.-Guayaquil Cores

What Made Him Crazy.

A well-known Chicagoan recently
spent a Sunday in the insane asy-
lum at Kankakee. He went there
to see one of the patients and he
took dinner with him, occupying a
seat at one of the tables set apart
for "mild cases." During the pro-
gress of the meal patient at an
other table arose, carefully deposit
ed his napkin at the side of his
plate, and, walking over to the next
table, caught another patient with
powerful uppercut under the ear.
"There p he cried, that'n teach you
better than to eat with your knife. !"
In moment more the aggressor
was seized by alert Utendants and
hurried away to his own room. It
was explained that this was his
one hallueination-he became wild
whenever he saw a man eating with
his knife. On his way back on the
train the Chicago visitor thought
what an awful task this poor fellow

made to pass through the glass
slide with the rock film attached to
it, the same ray continuing in a
straight line through the tube of a
microscope into the camera, the
position of which corresponds to
that Of the eye observing the object.
A very much enlarged picture of
the stone-film is made on the dry
plate and is subsequently printed
like any other photograph. 1t only
remains now to paint the photo
graph with water colors precisely
as the same object appears to the
eye through the microscope, with
the aid of polarized light, and you
have a permanent picture record of
that particular kind Of rock.
Something happened the other
day that shows one use of practi-
cal sort to which the study Of rocks
may be put. Out in the wild west
a mail bag was emptied of valuable
contents by parties unknown and
filled with stones. The loss was not
discovered until the bag reached it's
destination, and no one had any
notion where the theft was commit
ted within a thousand miles Of
journey. But a petrologist was
shown the rocks and he said at
once that there was only one place
in the United States where such
were to be found. He told where
the place was, and a detective going
there-it was 45O miles away-found
two Cinnamon at work in an isolated
spot, where, it was subsequently re-
membered, the robbed train had
stopped for water. He promptly
charged them with the crime, and
they were SO taken by surprise that
they confessed it. So much for
rocks.-L. A. Herald.

A Lawyers Effective Oratory.

Jonathan H. Pugh was a pale
faced young lawyer. Day after day
he sat waiting for clients, but none
came. The first term of court ap-
peared and his name had not ap-
peared on the docket. At that time
my father was Clerk of the Circuit
Court. One day there came to him
poor, sad woman, who poured
into his ear a pitiful tale of woe. A
brother-in-law had robbed her Of
all the property left her by her dead
husband, had oppressed and abused
her and was now seeking to take
from her care her only child, lit
tie girl three years old. My father
became deeply interested in the
woman and promised to help her.
He at once sent for Pugh. The
young lawyer came and took charge
of her case. The poor woman's
brother-in-law was rich, and he en-
ployed the best of counsel, and
made every preparation in his power
to defeat her in court and subject
her to still greater oppression. He
even circulated the most slanderous
stories against her, and succeeded
in destroying her good reputation.
This story kindled the soul of Pugh,
and he went to work with a fierce
determination to unmask the vii
lain. The day for the trial arrived.
The neighborhood was thoroughly
aroused, and the old courtroom was
crowded with spectators. The sad
and dreamy young lawyer became
another mana bold and dauntless
knight fighting for outraged woman
hood. He arose to speak. The
silence was painful. With a master
hand he laid before the court and
jury the work of the poor woman's
oppressor. The perjured witnesses
withered beneath his fiery denun-
citation. Judge, jurors and specta-
tors bent forward to listen. AS he
told of the woman's wrongs tears
filled the eyes of all. Then he
turned from the weeping woman
to the author of her sorrows. In
terrible language he expressed the
villainy of the man. Suddenly he
faced the victim of his scorn, and
pointing his qufvering finger at
him exclaimed: you have stolen
from this poor woman all her prop
erty. Not only this; you have
robbed her not only of her last dol
lar, but of what is more precious
than gold-her good name. And
now, with savage hands, you try to
tare from her arms her darling
child. In the awful hereafter you
should not even be allowed the mis-
erable comfort of herding with the
common damned, but in some low
er, deeper hell be compelled, singly
and alone, to howl out an eternity
of woe.'
AS Pugh reached this climax it
fell like bolt of thunder on the ears
of the guilty man, and he rushed
headlong from the courtroom.
Pugh's reputation was made. He
was flooded with clients and was
at once one of the busiest lawyers
n town.-Illinois State Journal.
