FEELING AT NEW ORLEANS.

Unchanged Concerning the Justi6abIiity of
the Lynci.ing.
New ORLEANS. April 1.-The news of
the reported recall of the Italian min
lister was received in this city last even
ing, promptly posted on the bulletin
boards and printed in the newspaper
extras. The newspaper offices had
constant crowds during the evening,
and the news was circulated from one
end of the city TO the other. 1t was
at first diseredited, but when it
was subsequently confirmed there was
much talking touching the probable or
possible international complications
and the likelihood OF h. stilities The
prevailing sentiment here, however, is
unchanged respecting the act of the
citizens in lynching the assassins.
Mayor Shak 'speare was seen in the
council chamber at the city hall, the
council being in session. The dispatches
from Washington were shown him and
were read sby him with considerable
interest. lie said in answer to a ques-
ton that he deemed it inadvis
able to make an extended state
ment of his views at present.
More than enough had been said on the
subject already. He thought that If
the worst came to the worst the United
States would be fully able toprotect the
people of this section from the attack
of the enemy, and if this government
failed to afford the necessary protec-
ton then the people would
themselves prepare for defense,
Personally he apprehepded no
serious trouble and felt certain
that the Italian ships of war could not
possibly approach near enough to New
York to infict injury upon her. He
complained bitterly that special CORE
spondents who had been sent here to
interview him had misrepresented him
grossly, and declined to say anything
further.

LIMA, o., April 1.-The Mercer county

filed by the recent heavy rains, and in
one place, about a mile from Celina,

NOW HUNT THE MOTH.

This is the season when our innocent
looking little enemies, the moths, do their
destructive work-at least this is tie begin
ming. The small cream colored moths dy-
ing about should be DESTROYED; they do the
mischief, depositing numbers Of eggs in
wooden and furgarments, carpets, curtains
upholstered Notwithstanding escapes
them, and before we know tue danger fire.
quently our nest cherished garment is
riddled by these little pests.
All garments not packed away should
be taken down, brushed and aired often.
Such garments as need to be worn occa-
sionally should be hung in cotton bags
The bags can be made ofcalico or muslin, !"
bleachcd or brown, and should be long
enough to cover the garment. Gentlemsn's
clothes suffer most, and there should be
several bags for trousers and coats in each
gentlemans' closet. "Tar paper is said
to be the est thing to keep moths out,
and it is well to have one closet lined with
it from top to bottom. For such winter
garments as can be packed up, thoroughly
beat, brush, air and press before putting
away. Newspapers are good substitutes
for tar paper, and clothing and blankets
put up clean and close in newspapers will
keep all safe.
The great trouble comes from not putting
things away all clean and free from the
moth eggs. Articles slightly soiled are
certain to attract moths. 1t is therefore
we'll to wash everything that can be washed,
like fAnnels aud stockings. Goats, cloaks,
fars aud similar things should be cleaned
and beaten and aired before fiually putting
away for the summer. Whep carpets are
kept down during the summer tar paper
should be laid under the edges and the
room swept carefully with stiff broom
once in while. particularly the edges of
the carpet, corners and seams
Boss, caps, iur gloves, ETC., should each
be wrapped in a separate paper or cotton
or linen cloth, or tar paper if you use it,
aud tied up separately and carefully marked
50 that each article can be easily found
when wanted. These packages can be put
in any safe place, high shelves in closets
or in packing trunk, or hung up in the
attic or storeroom. II put away clean and
well wrapped the things will come out
safe in the fall.

ONIONS FOR piPHTHERIA.

ness sake why don't they use onions!
Where do they live? will go up there to-
day aud tell them TO use onions"
Such were the EXPLANATIONS of our
mother when We reported at dinner that a
child OF Mr.. G. W. Dudley was dead, aud
the whole family, Including himself, alarm
iagly sick with diphtherIa.
Mother was moEed to these earnest and
interested expressions by firm belief that
she knows several lives saved by the use
of onions in diphtheria. In these cases raw
onions were placed in bandage and
beaten into pulp, the cloths containing
onions, juice aud all, being then bound
about the throat and well up over the ears.
Renewals may be made as often as the
mass becomes dry. In the cases noticed
the result was almost magical; deadly pain
yielding in short time to sleepy comfort.
We wish this remedy might have wiae
enough trial TO FULLY test its usefulness

Saratogas should be brought out and over

generous fees aud cultivate his ideas that
the European travel treatment would best
suit your case. Begin to mulch your hus-
band with kindness and flattery. 1t may

For women folks they live on love, both mis-

BEFORE You CLEAN HOUSE.

Long before the calender says it is tire
to begin house cleaning, says TIE L9dfes'
Hozse Journal, you should look over the
magazines. papers, disabled furniture, dis
carded garments, and household orua-
meDfs, which even twelve months accu-
mulste so wonderfully. Be brave and do
not save an indiscriminate mass of articles
against the possible needs of the seventh
year of which we hear so much. Give
away the best of the old garments and sell
the remainder to the junk man. The
magazines and papers which You do not
intend to have bound or to utilizs IN your
scrap book, will be eagerly read IN some
hospital or other institution. Eyen the
furniture and ornaments will greatly
brighten the dreary surroundings of some
poor family. Have the courage of your
convictions in dealing with the contents of
trunks and boxes. Dispense with non-es-
sentials aud systematic the remainder,
and your reward will be delightful sense
of space and a feeling of almost physical
relief.

By means OF these measurements any
woman can ascertain for herself how far
she differs ia proportion from the two
famous beauties, There is some comfort,
700, in the thought that both were beauti-
full although their proportions differ in
impoi tAnt particulars, and doubtless there
are millions of beautiful women who do
not come very close 10 either.
Taking Mrs. Langtry as a type, it ap-
pears that the modern runs less to should
ers and more to the hips than the woman
of Antiquity The ancient has also q
decided advantage in tie length of legs
aud arms and the size Of neck and ankles.
On the whole, the modern woman appears
TO be less museularly and more volaptuous-
iy formed than the ancient. But then ore
swallow doesn't make Summer, and one
woman does not make the modern world.

WHAT MOTHERS ARE NApEFOr

\ homs is what woman makes il; a
daughter is. IN nine cases out Of every ten,
the reflection of her mother, writes Ed
ward W. Box in7He Ladies' Home journal
The training Of the girl of fifteen is shown
in the woman Of fifty. a son may by
contact with the rough world, sometimes
outliye his early home inaaences-a
daughter rarely does. She may make a
misstep. Iadiscretion may be to hera ne.
eessarv TEACHER; but her early domestic
training will manifest itself sooner OF later
A mothers word, domestic proserb, told
at eventide by the quiet freside, has been
recalled by many woman years after It
was uttered. II thank God that my
mother told me what other women have
been taught blythe world, said gentlewo-
man to me not long ago. This, m7 friend, IS
the tribute which your daughter and mine
should be able to pay to our memories
long after we ara gone. The world has a
sharp way Of teaching its truths to girl.
Is it not far better, then, that her mother
should tell her with that sweet and sym
pathetic grace and gentleness which only
a mother knows? Tue flowers most beau
t;ful 80 the eye and sweetest to the smell,
grow in good soil The worlds nobiest

womAs's PROPORTIONS.

Some London papers have been printing
facts about the perfect woman" physic-
ally considered. An artist supplies the
comparative measurements of Mrs. Lang
try and the VEINS de MedIcis two types of
the ancient and modern worlds The
height of these two beautiful women, the

feet and seven inches.
Hence the two may be taken as illustrat-
