In warming platters or dishes to receive
hot food take care that no dish becomes
very hot 1t cracks the glazing, so that
everything greasy, meats, butter. etc, will
soon penetrate beneath the glazing into the
clayey, porous interior and turn the exte-
rior dingy and brown.
To tougher glassware put it into a kettle,
cover entirely with cold water, and place
the kettle on part of the stove where it
will soon come to boil. Allow it to boil
briskly few seconds, then cover closely,
set aside and allow it to cool gradually
Frying pans of polished iron that become
blackened may be readily frightened with
little boiling vinegar and SALT after which
they should be thoroughly secured with
soap and dried near the fire.
To prevent iron from rusting during the
warm, damp weather is difficult. The
Metal Worker says if the iron is covered
with thin coat of boiled linseed oil the oil
will soon dry and form a covering which
can be removed with turpentine when re-
quired. This keeps off the moisture which
causes rust Try it on stoves this summer.

JUDGE GRESHAM recently imposed a
fine of one thousand dollars on Henry
Metz, a horse dealer at Polo, for yiola-
ton of the law prohibiting the importa-
ton of alien labor into this country under
contract. The circumstances were these:
Metz went to Paris last August and pur-
chased 40 blooded horses. While
at Paris he hired Leon Blum, Gustav
Liebschutz, Louis Delevsk and Landel
Veltz to come over in the ship with him
and care for the horses. He promised
them 800 a month and employment for
one year. At New York Immigration H.
spector c. S. Osborne stopped the men,
but the ship captain allowed them to pro-
coed and they came on to Polo. Metz
was brought before Judge Gresham and
it was agreed that Metz submit to fine
of $1,000 on one count in the indictment
and that the other three be eusshed.

An EngIishman's Slow Wit.

Every one has heard of the lawyer named
Strange, who upon dying called his family
around him and said that on his tomb
stone he wished to have engraved, Here
lies an honest lawyer" Some one suggest
ed that people would not know whose the
tombstone was But" said the diving
lawyer, they will Every one will say,
Why, that's strange" An Englishman
told it in this way: A very clever barrister
was dying. He was very clever indeed.
His family were devoted to him and asked
him what his last wishes were. Now, I've
forgotten what the lawyers name was, but
that doesn't make any difference with the
story. He was very clever indeed.
When his family asked him about his
last wishes Che was very clever, you know,
wit even on his deathbed), he said: Have
inscribed on my tombstone Here lies an
honest barrister. Very clever man, you
see. But" said his wife, chow will ny aone
know who you are?" ''Ah, my dear, ;" he an
swered, every one will say That's very
extraordinary. And this reminds one
of Mark Twain's frog.-New York Trib-

DECORATIVE NOVELTIES.
Ingenious Conveniences and Fashionable
characterization for the Home.

characterization for the Home.
The 'Tuckaway table, is a very useful
little affair that every one will like 1t is
an English invention that folds up when
out of use, after the style of camp stool,
but it is so arranged that it still lands on
its own legs, and is not dependent on the
wall for support
An Ivory" room or hall is very fashion
able. White enameling has been in vogue
for some time, but the new tint is more
creamy. The old ivory japanese paper is
used for panels, jambs of mantel shelves
and dados. Sometimes the floor is enam-
eled old ivory, and has rugs and small car
pets of oriental make laid on.
The old fashioned hinged towel racks,
similar in shape, only smaller, to the
clothes horse, make admirable fire screens
II covered with a full drapery of some
oriental fabric.
Paint common wooden settee with
rallied back and arms with three coats of
cream white, and rub it down to an even
smooth surface. Stencil on the broad
back piece a graceful pattern of flower fes-
ICONS and tiuttering ribbons in plain gold.
FIJI the seat with a cushion of oriental
silk, and the settee is thing of beauty and
joy for a long time.
y pretty way of utilizing photographs
and the loose colored pictures that come in
many of the popular publications is to
place border of the same about two feet
wide around the bedroom or sanctum lust
above the wainscot, framing them in with
cheap flat molding.
There is a thick quality of mating
known as japanese mating which can be
obtained in a variety of colors. Il Is used
for dado and wall coverings, and may he

the best wearing colors, and can be easily
kept clean by washing them in clear cold
water every week. The foregoing are

The lady looked at her for two minutes
hesitatingly.

Frosting for Cake.

Gelatine frosting may be made with one
teaspoonful of gelatine dissolved in two
tablespoonful of boiling water, with pull
verified sugar to make it of a consistency
to spread. Put on the frosting while the
cake is still warm and set it in a cool place

A GREAT EQUATORIAL
The splendid T~sescop. Erected as Che
 Paris Ohservatsry.

The splendid Telescope Erected ss Che
 Paris Observatory.
 The equatorial erected at the Paris Observatory is the invention of NJ. Maurice Loewy, sab-director of the observatory and member of the French Institute, and is marvel of mechanism. Thanks to the dimensions of the tele- scope to be used. stellar photographs of admirable distinctness can be ob- tained hereafter. 1t Is not known whether any fresh discoveries will be made. but 1t will at least make those already known more precise. It was tried few days ago. and the mountains and craters of the moon were clearly distinguished. They also studied the phenomenon of the absence of dawn and twilight on the moon, as well as the change from night to day without transition The mechanical part of the instrument is as perfect as clockwork, and the whole forms real masterpiece. It weighs 9, 500 pounds. but it can be maneuyered by an infant.
 The polar axis of this equatorial s 59 feet long, and the curve which turns around this axis is f3 feet The large tube rests on 6 pillar of nssonry At its top the elbow has a mirror and an object glass 60 centimeters in diameter, the field of which Is lit up by a light shown on plate joined to the tube M. Loewy's equatorial has two object glasses of the same dimensions; one for looking directly at the heavens, the other intended for photographing the skies
 The first Is achrolnatized for chem ical rays; that is to say. to destroy the primitive colors that accompany the image of the objective. Thanks to the other objective glass. the observer can take instantaneous photographs. Views of the moon, measuring IS centimeters in diameter. can be taken, and these the instrument enlarges by projection, making them in diameter as much as 39 inches.
 The observer is placed at height of fortytive feet, the ocular glass is inside the room, but the rest of the instru- ment is in open sky. A star can bs followed in it's sidereal movement that is to say, from its rising to its set ting behind the horizon-without the observer having to leave his armchair An isochrome movement makes the in- strument revolve as the star moves, so that it is always before the objective glass. With ordinary telescopes as trononers are obliged to move from their places constantly, so as to follow a star, and sometimes they have to as- sulne positions that are inconvenient. and necessarily prejudicial to the exact 1 itude of their observations
 For fixed stars which have a move nent of their own, mechanical ar of this sort permits of their not being lost sight of for single in- stant. The edifice is square tower sixty five feet high. A moveable tent | covers the whole apparatus when not i in use, and it rests on rails on which is i slides when needed for astronomical | Chicago Herald.

4 wonaerfui Blind Man.

There is man whose home Is on Cane Hill, Washington county, Ark, by the name of John McClelland, who is truly a genuine curiosity. He has two brothers living near Nowata and Tahlequah, L T. This man is entirely blind, and he frequently goes from Cane Hill to Tahlequah and then to Nowata, distance of S5 to 100 miles, on horseback and without q guide, crossing Grand river and the Arkansas river en route. He will also mount his horse and hunt up his other horses, being able to tell exactly how many are together by sound. He will go any distance through the timber, apparent ly as easy as any one. His horse will when passing under low hanging limbs, raise his head to tell whether the limb will clear his riders head.
 Mr. McClelland will recognize an ac- quaintance by his voice as readily as any one else will who can see. His blind ness seems to be no bother to him as he performs feats in travelling that are truly wonderful Mr. McClelland has made several trips from Arkansas and the Indian Territory to Texas and back unattended.
 Mir. McClelland is a stock dealer, and will buy and sell mules and horses, and is able to buy with profit to himself At the Vinita q. T.) fair once he had a horse that his brother was riding for a prize horsenianship. His brother was not riding to suit him, and he mounted his horse and carried of the prize Exchange.
