From the New York Times.
Two mothers, each with young baby and no
nurse, were discussing how they managed it.

wide and deep philosophy. Zen years from now
it will lie safe predict that thai sec nd mother
will have lines in her face and wrinkles on her
brow that have no business TO be there, and
equally, that mother No. will still be fresh and
blooming.
Women are beginning to understand that it is
the continuous, unrelieved strain that tells; it
is doubtful if many Of them, PARTICULAR: the
busy workers. fully appreciate that il lies
within their own reach to modify this con-

The Divinities Of India.


THE gates of the Hindoo Pantheon are never
shut, Sir John Strachey has finely observed.
The truth of the remark is likely to receive
curious illustration in the results Of the recent
census in the northwest provinces and Dude.
novelty OF the census was a separate classif-
cation for the various scots Of Hindoos and
Mahometans- Sect however. implies definite
religious creed with distinctive tenets, from
which limited number OF schismatics have
civerged; but SO far Hindooism is concerned
at all events. we have no such creed. and ii we
are to apply the term sect to the heterogeneous
groups OF wcrshippers who call themselves
Hindoos we must materially modify its ordinary
signifcation- As a matter of fact the census
enumerators found that the ordinary Hindoo
did not know what was meant when
he was asked what his sect was. All lie
could say was the particular god he wor-
shipped. The consequence Is that the census
papers are crowded with a vast number of
tribal and local gods and deities, many
OF which have never been heard II before, and
will, IN all probability. never he heard Of
again. Sir Alfred Lyall was The first to show.
in his Asiatic studies. how ready PraLn,.nism
is to assimilate all sorts of strange gods and
demons. and the recent census will afford q
remarkable proof Of the accuracy of his obser-
walton. The gods Of the present census, how
ever, will not be the gods OF the next; many
will have disappeared, and many will have APP
pesred for the first time; SO that if the sect
classification is kept up the census records
will in process Of time become c lumber room
of dead and moldering divinities. Not without
reason does the idol Bum DO, in the new Savoy
opera. grumble at the fckleness Of the Hindoo
worshippers. They have found another idol

which might be chanted yearly as the process

gods passes out OF the spacious H:ndoo PAN

others destined, with the rolling Of the years to
meet q similar fate.

Bound to Do His Duty.

From the Detroit Free Press.
During a strike on one of the eastern roads
they had to pick up anybody they could to man
what trains had to be run. The engineers and
conductors on the fast trains stood by the COM
pany, but the brakemen were out. The super
intendent hired one big, bulky fellow. who gave
his name as Boscome. to act as brakeman on
the Chicago limited.
snow, boss" he said to the superintendent,
you just tell me what to do and you bet your
boots III do it. Do you want any strikers
killed."
NO. no. Don't you NEEDLE with them unless
they NEEDLE with you. You won't have very
much to do unless something goes wrong with
the train. Then you help as much as you can
and do what the conductor tells you to-
And if things go smooth, what do do
thenY'
Just shout the names of the stations"
When the Chicago limited started out at 9
o'clock that night Boscome was on one of the
sleepers. Everybody was in his berth trying
TO get to sleep, when Boscone put his head in
the door and Yelled

''you mussent call de names out in a sleeping
cah.'
"You tend to your blackin' boots and don't
interfere with me. I'm doin' my duty, and
don't you furget it,"
People put their heads out from between cur
tains and wanted to know what lunatic was
abroad. The sleeping conductor expostu-
lated with BOscome, but every time a lot of
lights flashed passed the new brakeman yelled
"Muggins Junction. or whatever name
next on his list. The train conductor at last
came along and said that he would put Boscome
of, but the stalwart brakeman asked him to try
it on if he thought he could do it.
Il amt got nuthin. agir you, conduc," said
Boscome. but I'm a doin what the superin-
tendent told ME to do, and You bet m goin' to

The conductor pulled the bell rope and the
train slowed up.
Anything wrong with the train, CONDUCTOR"
asked Boscome anxiously.
Yes The air brakes on fire. You run back
there about a ROD and you'll find bucket of
water beside the track. Bring it to me-
As the train started up again the conductor
shouted to Boscome, who was trying to catch
up:
Next time you get on q train you do what
the conductor tells you to. Quit running after
us; you can't catch the limited. Tramp back
and report to the superintendent

HOME MATTERS.
Seasonable Suggestions and Everyday
Hints to Practical Housekeepers.

Bowl OF QuIcKLTME kept in a cupboard
will quickly absorb the moisture, if there be
any.
ORDINARY RUBBER INK ERAsERs it is said,
will remove rust from polished cutlery with
out injury.
In BoTrLrSa CATsUP Oh PICKLES boil the
corks, and while hot you can press them into
the bottles, and when cold they are tightly
sealed. Use the tin foil from compressed yeast
to cover the corks.
IL some NEW TABLE CUTLERY the handles Of
the knives are Of Dresden china to match the
table service. Salad spoons and forks are Of
wood, with cut glass handles. and the glass
handle carving knife and fork accompanies
these very frail looking implements.
To ALLAY ITCHING in some cutaneous affec-
tons very pleasant application consists Of
the freely expressed juice of a lemon diluted
with four five times its bulk of water, to
which q few drops of cologne have been added
or the same quantity of rose water. This ia
very cooling.
HOUSEWIVES WILL Han RECENT INVENTION
in furnishing which is intended to take the
place of cumbersome window screens. This
invention is q window screen which rolls up
and down like an ordinary window shade, and,
1t is said, offers complete protection from flies
and mosquitoes, as it screens the whole win
dow.
The WAFFLE PLATE Is A GREAT ADDITION to
the table ware 1t may be had in plain china
or handsomely decorated; the former cost one
dollar, the latter from two to three dollars.
The perforations in the top admit the escape of
steam, so that the cakes may be kept warm, yet
free from moisture. The deep bowl gives
ample space for the half dozen circles Of
delicious BROWNIES.
ELDERBERRY WINE Is SAID TO POSSESS great
medicinal qualities, and is particularly bene-
fetal where the system is reduced from long
sickness To make il, gather ripe elderberries,
press out the juice, alloy one measure of sugar
and water each to every measure of juice, put
in an open vessel and skim every morning until
clean; bottle and set aside for three months
before using.
FLAvoRINs BUTTER WITH THE DOOR OF
FRESH FLOWERS is one of the arts of the
French peasantry. The process is very simple,
and consists of putting the little prints, which
have first been wrapped in a thin cloth, into a
tight porcelain dish on a bed of re ses or what
ever blossoms are chosen. Among the flowers
which give the most desirsb results are
clover and nasturtiums.

BEAUTY IN DISTRESS.
A Hartford Man in New York Has Chance
to Make Himself Useful

to Make Himself Useful.
From the Hartford Daily Times.
The folly and danger to life of the latest STYLE
OF the dressmakers art was very Unexpectedly
and alarmingly illustrated by the experience Of
one OF Hartford's wellknown business men the
other day while on business trip to New York.
The day was hot, business cares had been labor
ious and our business friend lay down after
lunch for nap, being DESTROYS of refreshing
himself before going to an evening dinner party.
His room at one of New York's elegant uptown
hotels was cool and inviting. In his hurry to
make the most OF time at his disposal he failed
TO lock the door, quickly going off to sleep in
his shirt sleeves. His awakening was sudden
A handsomely dressed woman stood at the foot
of the bed.

exclamation in tone of entreaty.

wore

his III a8Onlzng tones that fairly made the
gentleman feel the horrible pain the lady WAS
evidently suffering
Before he could move she began to SWAY
back and forth, and must have fallen il he had
not caught her in his arms She groaned and
grew blue about the mouth, exclaiming as the
gentleman laid her upon the lounge: "Take
your knife and cut tho dress open; l shall
die"
At this juncture the chambermaid appeared in
the door The unknown lady again exclaimed:
cut the dress open; call No. 2OO!'
No. 200 was sent for, the maid and man both
exerting their best strength in their fruitlcss
eudeavor to loosen the lady's dress It was no
use. The dress held together like the doors of
Marvin safe. The lady, in the meantime. had
tainted dead away and was still more blue
about both lips.
"Quick! said on. Hartford friend to the
maid. bringing his business astuteness into
play; las squeeze her together you unlock
her DRESS"
Raising the lady up from behind and grasp
ing her under the arms he exerted his full
strength in a long and desperate squeeze
The maid tugged ct the hooks and ewes and
suddenly there Was snap-'a report" said
the gentleman, like the noise of the explo-
sion OF half dozen parlor Matches"
The dress flew open just as No. 2OO o fine
looking gentleman, appeared at the end of the
lounge. He made an exclamation:
whats the matter, Nell"'
But Nell did not answer. 1t took some time
to bring her hack to consciousness.
Explanations followed. and our Hartford
friend retired amid shower of tbanks from
Nell and her uncle" as he was introduced.

Life on Mount Hoods Summit.
From the Portland Oregonian

Tho party from the Oregonian composing
room who assembled Mount Hood last week saw
three foxes up at Illumination Rock and on the

had made its nest in the copper box left by the
Alpine Club. 1t had gnawed one corner OF the
box and cut up q newspaper to make q nest
Some Of the boys threw stones ct the mouse
but soon desisted when they thought what Z
struggle for existence the little beast must
have. What the mouse or the foxes live on u
difficult to imagine. The party left some food
for the mouse, and probably every one who
ascends the mountain leaves some crusts or
crumbs there, but such stray fodder mnst fur
nish very precarious existence even for .
