THE CASE OF GIBSON

The carpenters had just finished re
shingling his kitchen, and he was rakin!
the old shingles up into pile.
Hello, Gibson said a neiglbor
you'll have kindling enough to last al
winter, won't yOu?" ~ r
YES" he replied, with an inward glow
of satisfaction, land it makes might,
good kindling, too"
Good morning, Gibsonl" called on
the family doctor, who drove along
few minutes later. ''Been making som,
improvements"
Yes ......
ut looks like good job. And it will
give you kindling enough to last you al
winter"
Eyes, I'm getting good deal of com
fort out of that"
"Gibson," said the deputy sheriff, who
passed along shortly afterward, ''if yor
take good care of those old shingles the,
will last you for kindling all winter"
Yes" replied Gibson rather shortly
81 suppose they will"
The driver of the wagon was next.
Hello, Gibson" said he; you'll have
kindliDg enough to last all winter.''
Mr. Gibson made no reply. He went
viciously. .Hi
Morning Gibson" exclaimed the
Sunday school superintendent a minute
or two afterwards, as he stopped and
leaned over the fence. you'll ha' {
kindling enough, see, to last you all
winter" # .H.-.' ..r
Darn the kindling!' sfr... ..,
The superintendent passed ON with a
shudder. .... - 4....
1.-THE next man that says that to me.''
muttered Mr.. Gibson, twill have fight
on his hands,
How does thee do. friend Gibson?''
inquired the next passer, genial old
Quaker. II see thee will have enough
kindling to-
go to thnnder!" roared Gibson.
OF course he couldn't get fight out of
Quaker, so he kicked q stray cat out of
the yard by way of relieving his feelings,
and continued raking the old shingles
without looking up. . 10
The pastor of Mr.. Gibson's church was
taking his afternoon walk. He saw the
parishioner at work, stopped a moment
and looked at him, and then remarked I:
You will have kindling enough, Bro.
Gibson f
That was all he said Brother Gibson,
without pausing to see who it was,
yelled out: at ...
BLANK the blankety- blank old shin
giles to blanknation! Blank your blank
meddlesome mouth If you don't light
out of this blank quick, I'll set the dog
on you" "
Five minutes later Mr.. Gibson, with
trembling haste and his pockets full of
revOlvers ready for instant use, was
burning his shingles in the alley. His
case will come mp before meeting of
the church officials next Sunday after
noon.-Sedttie Press.

AOUP OF TEA.

Polly, put the kettle on, and wen all take tea.
But see that the kettle Is boiling before
making the tea; and see that the water
is fresh, and that it boils Immediately,
before it has parted with its sparkling
gases. Do not let it simmer and simmer
for hours before 1t is needed. 1 think il
was Delmonico that said, Americans
cook their water to death" Some nota.
BILE housewives pride themselves as. upon
virtue when they set the kettle in the
stove the night before, in readiness for
the next mornings breakfast. Tea and
coffee, or vegetables, prepared with such
water will have a flat, vapid taste. Let
the teapot-an earthen one-invariably
be scalded before putting in the tea; and
then allow the tea to steep from five to
ten minutes before serving. If the tea is
made in the kitchen, do not allow it to
boil; set on the back part of the stove.

crane or five O'Clock tea OF a silver
spirit-lamp at the table, this caution ID

pot adds touch of brightness.
Uncolored Japan tea, or fine blend OF
Orange PekOe and Formosa, makes a
most delicately favored cup of tea with
which to tempt the most inveterate tea
hater, and rouse his tagging energies.
There is nothing like cup Of tea, as a
nerve tonic. OF course, indulgence in
tea-drinking can be carried too far, as in
wines, chloral, the bromides and other
good things in their place. A peculiar
property of tea is that it prevents the
waste of tissue in severe and protracted
physical and mental exertion. A famous
Arctic explorer said in my hearing that
his men bore up under the strain they
were put to through exposure and severe
toll, far better when tea was served out
to them than when depending upon coffee
or liquor for stimulant. o., !. .',i-. lff...
And then, what a promoter of sociabil-
| ity is a cup of tea; what home comforts
does it suggest, as to Cowper, when he
on winters evening draws a cheerful
picture of the cracking fire, .curtained
windows, the kissing urn, and the .'cup
that cheers but not inebriates!' How
often does the author of "Eothen'' re-
cord his testimony to the cheering,
soothing influence of the steaming cup

Balzac calls it, for which English people

a delicate bouquet, as they say of wine,
possesses an aroma fit for the gods. De

DIsUsE OF FOREIGN ORNAMENT IN
DRESS

DRESS.
The reported organization in various
parts of the country of societies for the
advancement of propriety and frugality
in dress is an interesting sign of the re.
currence of one of those periods of SUNNI.
tuary reform which have existed at occa.
sional intervals since the earliest ages.
One Of the curiosities of history is the
sudden wave of disgust against ornament
of apparel. The burning of vanities, in
cited by the preaching of Savonarola.
the resOrting to plain attire in the time
Of the PuIitans, the return to classical
simplicity in the days of French repnb-
licanism before the First Empire are il
Illustrations of the recurrent changes in
opinion in regard to dress. Usually a
voluntary rejection of sumptuous attire
has been accompanied by the improve
ment of social morals. Perhaps it might
be considered more accurately one indi-
cation of higher moral standard. Plain
dress, plain living and high thinking
have come to be considered the three i'm
portant factors of an upright life. At
this period of sumptuary reform, dis
use of decOllete dress and of all the va
rieties Of trimming aud ornament has
been recommended. Dress, already sim
pie and more hygienic than for MANY
years, is thought susceptible of extended
improvement, and all foreign fashions
which add To the luxury of attire are
placed under the ban of approval. The
effect of this reform will be that of dis
couraging imported goods and of using
simpler home manufactures if the spirit
of change should be widely extended
One of the most useful features of the
agitation in regard to simpler dress is
noticed in schools. IL is reported from
Philadelphia that the girls of a large
school OF well-to-do families have been
ordered not TO wear bracelets and have
been advised not 10 wear such orna-
ments that the attention will be directed
to dress instead of books. The edict
that school is not the place to air finery''
has created some indignation among the
pupils, but has been received with com
mendation by the parents. Dress reform
in schools is always sure of public favor,
and its present consideration is a useful
indication of general desire for sin-
plicity. -l-i

The Public Health

The CAPITAL is indebted TO DR..
G. w. Chancellor, Secretary of the
State Board Of Health of Maryland,
for copy Of the "Rules aud Regu-
lations established by the State
Board of Health for the Sanitary
Government of Towns and Villages
in Maryland" These rules and
regulations have been formulated
by the State Board, under the
powers given them by an act of the
last Legislature. We propose to
publish these regulations 80 that
there may be no necessity for the
State Board to enforce them. Il is
hoped every householder and in
fact every citizen will voluntarily
assist the State Board in preserving
the public health. Accompanying
the rules was an interesting pam
phlet upon the Restriction and Pre-
yention of Diphtheris, " as we'll as all
contagious diseases. There is need
that every citizen should be ex-
ceedingly careful at the present
time. as typhoid and other fevers
exist all over the country. Even
the high attitudes of the mountains
do not seem exempt, except in
special insulated localities. Every
person should look carefully after
their own premises and observe that
they are scrupulously cleaned, as
such an ounce of preventive is
worth many pounds of cure.

that brilliant statesman. In the

member from Texas, as chairman of
q subcommittee of the committee
on Foreign Relations, made an able
report to the House, in which he
recommended the identical plan
lately proposed by Secretary Blaine
for increasing our trade with South

attention of Gov. Curtin, of Penn
sylvania, and few other thoughtful
persons, but it was never acted on
by Congress.
