To Clean nrnol,innrr.

The american Engineer gives the fol-
lowing as the Simplest aud most effica-
cious method of thoroughly cleaning the
various parts of machinery that have
become gummed and dirty by the use Of
fat oils for lubricating purposes. Make
a strong soda lye as follows: For each
1000 parts by weight Of water take
about 10 or 10 parts by weight of caustic
soda or 100 parts ordinary soda. Let the
solution boil and enter the parts to be
cleansed; either boil them in this I've or
let them steep in it for some time. All
the dirt and oil resin is completely dis
solved thereby. and it remains only to
rinse and dry the parts The action of
the I've is such that it enters into COM
bination with the oil aud forms soap,
which is readily soluble in water. In
order to prevent the hardening of the
lubricant on the machinery parts it is
only necessary to add about one-thlrd
kerosene. An occasional lubricating
with kerosene alone is to be recon-
mended.

There were some queer distinctions in
those days. One Sunday, going to the
butchers booth, | found a customer
ahead of me, who inquired if he could
not have n piece of n liver which was
hanging on "a tree in plain sight,
Don't know IL you can or not, said
the butcher.
I'D like to know why7 I've been
trading with you all along. aud never
asked for liver before; but | want some
variety now"
''Stand around and let me look at yon.
No, You can't have any liver"
well. Why
There amt enough TO go round. !
ave TO ave some rule about givin' it
out, and 1 have decided thnt no miner
can have u scrap of liver from me unless
he wears a canvas patch on the seat OF
his pants
The canva patch was IA badge Of prece-
dence as well recognized in our camp on
the Trinity as the star of the Order Of
the Garter is in Great Britain.-E. O..

The Chinese girls education begins at
six years of age, Then she must submit
to the bandaging of her feet, which cruel
custom cripples the poor child and
causes her untold suffering. But as
small feet are considered a mark Of great
beauty this .arbarous custom, which
has obtained in China for ages, is still
practiced The ~bandages are changed
as often AS they become soiled, but the
practice continues until the girl reaches
the age Of nineteen. Sometimes, when
about ten. the bones Of the toe are broken
TO prevent further growth.
At nineteen the girl is married. But
courtship, as it is known among the
Americans, is not understood or tolerated
by the Chinese. Mutual affection is not
the foundation Of the marriage, but the
children are betrothed in infancy by
their parents, and when grown are
obliged to fulfill the engagement-Phil-
sdelphia Times.

Favorite Prescription. She's a
stronger and a happier woman
and a healthy one. The aches,
pains, and weaknesses, that made
life miserable are gone-the funo-
tional disturbances or irregularities
that caused them have been cured.
Face and figure show the change,
too. Health has restored the
charms that rightfully belong to
her. For all the weaknesses and
ailments peculiar to womanhood,
"Favorite Prescription " is a posi-.
tive remedy. No other medicine
for women is guaranteed, as this is,
to give satisfaction in every case,
or the money is refunded. It's pro-
prietors are willing to take the risk.
What it has done, warrants them
in guaranteeing what it will do.
It's the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it's guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get.

1t is said that the great ape of Siam is
in great request among the Siamese mer-
chants AS cashiers in their counting
houses. Vast quantities of base coins
are known TO be in circulation in Siam,
and, according to advices from that
scorched up little oriental kingdom, no
living human can discriminate between
the good and bad coinage with as much
accuracy as these apes. These monkey
cashiers possess the faculty of -distin-
gushing the rude Siamese counterfeits
in such an extraordinary degree that no
trained banker car compete with them
in their unique ]avocation.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
m~editatively put each coin presented to
him in his mouth and tests it with grave
delberation. From two to five seconds
is all the time this intelligent animal re-
quires in making up his decision. If the
coin is all right it is carefully deposited
in the proper receptacle; if base it is
thrown violently to the floor, while the
coin tester makes known his displeasure
at being presented with the counterfeit
by giving vent to much angry chatter

To open the sewerage system of the
body and expel the waste matters which
have accumulated is of the first impor-
lance in the treatment of corpulence.
Hot water and exercise will largely do
this. That the oyerworked digestive or
gans may be relieved the quantity of
food should be the smallest possible CON
sistent with strength. Foods which bur
den digestion or favor the production of
fat should be excluded from the diet.
Every corpulent person who observes
these simple rules will soon find himself
growing lighter in weight and his gem
eral health improving, physical as well
as mental. His gain will correspond to
the degree of f%aithfulness with which he
adheres to this regimen. And once he is
back to near the standard of weight he
will need no urging to eve afterward
obstruct threatening corpulency.-Bos-
ton Herald.

enjoying a story from General Schuyler
Hamilton. 1t comes from the legisla-

ambitious member attempted his maiden
speech. He had written out his remarks,
which began, There is one thing l can
not see" and reached the Capitol on the
~eventful day set for its delivery, conf
lent that the manuscript reposed safely
in an inside pocket.
Getting the speakers eye, the new
member began. There is one thing, Mr..
Speaker, that | cannot see" meanwhile
diving into his coat for the speech. 1t
was not where he expected to find it,,
but fearing TO lose his chance, and still
confident that it would turn up, his
hands flew around to the pockets of his
coat tails, and he continued, II say, Mr..
Speaker, that there is one thing | cannot
see" The precious paper was still elu-
sive and the member began to plunge
through his pockets in a desperate hunt
for the speech. His associates saw his
plight and became interested.
81 repeat, Mr.. Speaker he clustered,
that there is n thing l cannot see"
By this time the assembly was smoker
ing. The speech could not be found and
the speaker was stunped. He took his
seat, red and perspiring, with a general
guffaw to add to his discomfort. Then
rose the wag of the assembly.
"Mr. Speaker" he said, the honora-
BILE gentleman from Winona informs me
that there is n thing no cannot see.
There is also n thing | cannot see, but
which every other member can see, and
that is the back Of my neck"

One Of our northern friends who has
been travelling in the south found him
self at a railroad station at which quite
a crowd of negro boys were gathered.
Some of the passengers amused them
selves by tossing nickels out among the
crowd to see the urchins scramble for
them. One strong fellow managed to
get the lions share of the contributions,
using his superior skill and muscular
power to good advantage and imposing
upon the weaker and more awkward.
With his mouth, which answered the
purpose Of a pocketbook, full of coin
obtained thus by hauling, pulling and

delectation of the company, whereupon
he unhesitatingly declared that it was
