What is ScrofuIa

1t is that impurity in the blood, which. aeeunu-
Eating in the glands of the neck, produces I'M
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness OF deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to "humors."
1t is a more formidable enemy than consumption

possible features of both. Being the most ancient.
1t is the most general of all diseases or affections,

now TO nfess tho Dinner AaDie.
Nowadays the most effective dinner
table is that dressed entirely in white
and having white glass, plenty of sill
yer, the centre piece low, and a num-
Der of soft lights, in the shape of can
dies, here, there and everywhere to
make a mellow sunshine all round.
The preferred tabiecloth is of white
damask. Ii may have woven in it the
fieur-de-lis pattern; it may show,
where such a thing is possessed, a coat
of arms or a crest, but it is i'll much
better taste, when these do not be-
long to the family, either to have the
initials, or an elaborate monogram
woven in announcing in this way that
it was made to order.
The linen cloth with a broad hem
stitching, usually has the initials en-
broidered in running fashion, as If
they were written, near the end, but
sufficiently far up to come midway
between the plate of the hostess and
the first candelabrum, or whatever
ornament may be beyond. In this
way the fine needlework shows to
good advantage and, by the by, with
such a cloth the napkins match, al
though, of course, the lettering is
smaller and it is embroidered not in a
corner, but straight, so that the nap
kin may be folded to be almost square.

Bright, heerybedrooms, clean bath

mean a large measure of household
health. and do more than most people
realize in promoting mutual and
spiritual as we'll as bodily growth and
strength. In city houses the bath
room is one of the most important
points to be guarded. 1t is absolute
ly impossible to keep the air OF a
dark, unventilated bathroom pure
and sweet, and such a room which
can receive fresh air only through the
halls Of the house is an outrage against
all laws of health and decency.
The first requisite of a bathroom
and its accompanying water closet is
absolute cleanliness, and one should
look long and carefully before select

A Spiders Rapid Work.

Nhen the common geometrical spider
has made up its mind to spin a web, it
commences operations by inclosing a GER
tain area with the foundation lines. To
these radiating lines are fixed, generally
about thirty in number, and all Joining
IN the center of the snare. When the
a are finished the spinner proceeds
to weave the concentric lines, stretching
them from IL %radiating thread to an
other, and forming them of the silk
thickly studded with viscous drops.
Starting from the center of the web.
however, the first few c%oncentric threads
are without this popularity, the reason
being that the spider likes to sometimes
sit in the middle of its web, and natural
ly does not care to be incommoded with
the sticky matter which it prepares for
the special benefit of its prey.
When the snare is finished. - tasl,
which often does not occupy more than
forty minutes in spite of the complicated
nature of the work, the spider weaves a
cell in some secluded spot close at hand,
connecting it with the center of the web
by means of a special thread. This, by
its trembling, gives intimation of the
capture of any insect in the web, and
also forms q pathway by which the
snugly %ensconced spider is enabled to
proceed OH an investigating expedition.

Ho Swallows Live Frogs.

A man with one of the most curious
p%ropensities lives in Shelton, Conn. He
has acquired al appetite for live bull
frogs, and swallows them with the same
ease he would swallow the most dainty
morsel that ever was cooked. The mans
name is John Stowe, and he is employed
by Austin Harris. Stowe has been a
resident of Shelton only a few years, but
it was not until recently that his appe-
tite for bullfrogs became known. One
day within a week he laid a a that
he could swallow a frog alive, and was
at once taken up.
Wednesday the test was made on a bet
OF one dollar, five parties being present.
The first one that was brought to him
was too large to work down his throat,
and he selected one from n creek on the
Harris farm small enough to go down.
He placed the frog head first in his
mouth, showed the remainder in with
his fingers, and in an instant the amphi-
bious animal was out of sight and prob
ably jumping around his stomach. The
story of the feat at once spread, and
within a few days there were a number of
doubling Thomases who, notwithstand-
ing the u%ndoubted integrity of the many
Witnesses. did not believe that Stowe

The Sense of Smell.

The eye is used only for seeing, and
the ear for hearing, but the nose is one
of the organs that serve a double pur-
pose. 1t is not only the seat of the
sense of smell, but was intended to be
the principal organ through which man
should breathe. Its circuitous passages,
warm and moist, protect the lungs by
taking the chill from the inspired air
and arresting irritating dust.
The whole nose is not concerned in
the act of smelling. The olfactory
nerves, which alone take cognizance Of
odors, are situated i'll the upper third of
the nasal chambers, out of the line of
ordinary inhalation. For this reason we
do not usually notice odors unless they
are somewhat strong; but when we sniff
draw the air into the upper part of
the n~ostrils and hold it there for a few
moments-we become aware of thefaint-
est sceat.-Youth's Companion.

An Amusing State of Affairs.

A novel boycott is reported from Ten
Vile, a village in Georgia. 1t came
about in this way: Some days ago a
young beau bosted that he could call on
any girl in town at will, they were all so
anxious for his company. The next
evening he was informed by a young
lady whose company he had solicited
that sho had a previous engagement.
She appeared at the entertainment that
evening with a fourteen-year-old boy.
In some way the rejected beau gained
the sympathy of the young men of the
town, while the young lady's pluck was
Endorsed by those of her own sex.
The young men held a meeting and
resolved to discontinue all calls on girls
of their acquaintance. Not to be out
done, the girls called a meeting and de-
cided to scratch the names of the boy
cotters off their visiting lists. The re-
suit is that young men from the neigh
boring towns are becoming favorites
with the Tenville girls, while the natives
are sitting around under the shade trees
plotting revenge.-Exchange.

Hints to Travellers,

Know yourroute before you commence
your journey.
Have as much money as possible, but
keep little of it sight.
Read your ticket carefully; it may be
your guide.
Avoid useless questions and others
will usually be answered politely.
BE on time; trains and boats wait for
nc one.
Keep your eyes and ears open. Guard
against pickpoclsets.
If you have not your ticket ready to
show at the gate don't get frustrated.
Slip aside and look for it calmly-it
saves time.
If you have several parcels put them
all into n strap. They are easier to
carry.
Don't stand so as to obstruct the way
Of others while saying goodby to your
friends.-New York World.

The New Silver Designs.

"It is not likely that another compe-
ttion will ever be tried for the produQ-
ton of designs for United States coins,"
said Assistant Director of the Mint Pres
ton. "The one just ended was too
wretched a failure. Doubtless it was
the first contest of the sort ever opened
by any government to the public at
large. The result is not very fattering
to the boosted artistic development of
this country, inasmuch as only two Of
the 300 suggestions submitted were good
enough to receive honorable mention.
So the affair has been handed over to the
engraving force of the Philadelphia
mint, which will produce the dies re-
quired according to such patterns as its
own sense of the beautiful suggests"
Tho designs for Uncle Sans coins
hitherto have been produced at the
money making establishment at Phila-
delphia, where the dies for all the minis
are turned out. Anticipating a severe
popular criticism, the chief engraver
will do his utmost to render the five
cameo pictures called for as unexcep-
tional as possible, esthetically speaking.
There must be a substitute of some kind,
representing Liberty, for the schoolmarm
on the dollar, the reverse of which re-
quires q better type of bird than the
present buzzard.
Alsotheunprepossessing female, seated
lpon a cotton bale, is to be removed
from the half dollar, quarter and dime.
Plaster casts of the patterns evolved will
be submitted for approval to the director
of the mint and the secretary of the
treasury, and as soon as they have been
pronounced satisfactory dies will be
made and small change of new and love-
ly mold will thereafter jingle in the
pockets of the people.
No alteration is to be made in the gold
coins, because they are really exquisite
now, and could hardly be improved upon.
1t is realized that the money of a nation
is expressive of its art culture. There
fore, lest posterity imagine the present
generation to have been barbarous, it is
desirable that our silver pieces should be
as handsome rs may be.-Washdngton

Executives.

The president of France is chosen by a
majority vote of both branches of par
lament sitting together as Il joint as
sembly, and his term is seven years.
Usually, however, he is compelled to
step down from Office by pressure from
parliament before his term ends. The
constitution gives him the authority to
select Il ministry, which must comprise
members of parliament; to conclude
treaties with foreign nations, to appoint
to the chief military and civil posts, to
pardon offenders, and in concurrence
with the senate to dissolve the chamber
of deputies and bring about II new cleo
ton. These are the chief powers of the
president. The present executive-Car-
not-was elected on Dec. 3, 1ss7.-St.

A peer ia : city,s Streets.

On a recent afternoon a large deer en-.
tered the city and made its way through
Main street. Men tried to capture it,
but without success. Finally it was
headed off in front of the postoffce. The
animal paused a moment and then
jumped over the railing of the bridge
into Kenduskeag river. The deer swan
gracefully up stream, with several par,
ties in boats and canoes in hot pursuit.
They came up with the animal in a short
time and one party captured it. It was
thought at first that it had escaped from
some deer park, but it vas found to be a
wild animal, and had been seen on the
outskirts of the city earlier in the day.

SPANISH DISHES.
How TO Use Oil in Cooking without Its
Disasrrcable Effects.

How TO Use Oil in Cooking Without Its
Dislyrcrablc Effects.
Though, as Il rule, Spaniards of the
better class are not early r%isers, they be-
gin the day with the dcsayuno, as they
call the meal. This usually consists of a
large cup Of milk and coffee, or IL small
cup of thick chocolate, with a kind of
cake called ensaimada. The chocolate
is made with milk, never with water, ex-
cept in the poorest families. Between 1
and 2 p. III. old fashioned Spanish folks
have their dinner. The table is very
simply laid with a clean cloth and sew
eral plates of sweets and fruits; flowers
seldom appear; saltcellar, pepperbox and
mustardpot never. A spoon, fork and
knife Jumped together, a tumbler for
water and Il small wineglass are set at
each place.
A Spaniard never commits the heresy
of mixing Wine and water; he says it is
spelling two good things. A goodly
sized loaf of bread TANKS each plate.
The soup tureen is first handed round,
and, although its contents are a trife
greasy, nothing can be more n%ourishing.
1t is compounded of all the good things
that go to make up the classical cocido
Or puchero. The substantial portion
with which the soup is made is placed
in three separate dishes and served MI
Immediately afterward. On one dish
figure large, thick slices of boiled beef
and pieces of fowl with slices of bacon;
Oh another appear the garbanzos, or
chick peas, and on the third are the veg
etables with slices of chorizo, or sausage.
The cocido is usually eaten as it is,
though in some houses tomato sauce is
added. The puchero, or cocido, takes
its name from the pewter pot Ill which
it is slowly boiled. In every we'll regu-
lated home throughout Spain the cocido
il made once a day, and a right good
thing it is, as at any hour you may
chance to need u cup of broth you cal,
be supplied with it. The next dish is
the frito. Frito means a fry, and the dish
usually consists of fried brains, fried
sweetbread, croquettes of fowl, etc.
In no country are things fried better
than in Spain, because good olive oil is
used to fry them in, and oil makes those
delicacies more crispy. That Spanish
oil may be turned to good account for
anything in cooking will no doubt cause
%unboundea surprise. There is no deny
ing the fact, however. Food ill prepared
with oil is no doubt a trying case in SO
far as the palate and nostrils are con-
cerned, but a good Spanish cook knows
we'll how to disguise the taste of the oil
i'll many ways.
The simplest and perhaps the best ad-
vice is to let the oil come to a boiling
point and to throw ill d piece of bread,
which is taken out as soon as it becomes
brown and thrown away. This takes off
any bad taste the oil may have. The
pan is then carried to an open window
and the steam blown away, a process
which as e%ffectually clears it of any un
savory smell.-Boston Transcript.

Scared by tho phonorraph.

One of the African conveys Of King
Gungrunhama in London, the other day,
was nearly frightened to death by q
photograph. He talked to the instru-
ment and when it repeated his words to
him he fell IN the floor in a swoon. It
was some time before he gained courage
to ask questions, as he thought a witch
doctor was in the photograph. He pro-
posed to silence the witch by stufing a
dried frogs leg into the instrument,
along with some other charms he had
with him. Having been dissuaded from
this and the matter explained, he said it
vas nc use for him to tell lies, as all his
words were recorded.-London Letter.

which the famous Venus of Milo was
discovered, has again been the scene Of
the u%nearthing of a splendid example of
ancient Hellenic art. The new "fnd" is
the marble statue of a boxer, somewhat
above life size, which is almost as per-
feet after its burial under the dust of
centuries as it was when it cam fresh
from the hands of its sculptor. The
statue has been shipped to Athens, where
a commission of Greek a~rchmologists,
aided by some members of the German
Archaeological institute in Athens, will
report upon the period of its origin and
its probable creator.-Pal Mall Gazette.
