The uses to which your guest chamber
is to be put are obviously three: In 1t
your guest is to sleep, to dress, and to
spend a varying quantity of his waking
and leisure time. For these three uses
you have to provide. First, then, for the
sleeping.
A thoroughly aired "spare bed' is a
rarity; yet it is not SO expensive as to be
beyond the reach of most housewives.
Air and sunshine are generally available,
but the women who knows how to APP
ply these commodities to her guest cham
Der is hard to find. Let the bedding and
covers be fresh, dry and clean; spread a
sufficient number of blankets, and pro-
vide an extra cover for abnormally cold
blooded people. If you do not know
your guests preferences, it is well to pro-
vide two sets of pillows, one large and
one small. And if you are one of that
class of deluded women who turn their
beds into show cases for frills and furbe-
lows, at least be implored to remove
these excrescences before your guest re-
tires for the night. The outside adorn-
ments should be laid aside, the pillows
lowered and the covers turned back when
the guest reaches his room, and it goes
without saying that the room, and the
passages leading to it should be lighted.
In these days of numerous inventions, it
is impossible to know all the improve
ments in household arrangements, so, if
there be anything peculiar in the meth
DDS of heating, lighting or ventilating
your rooms, be sure to explain them. A
visitor can experience but one sensation
comparable with awaking on a cold
morning to the consciousness that he
doesn't know how to turn on the heat,
and that is, in the quiet of the night, ar
rayed for bed, to find that the light is to
be put out by some method entirely I'M
known to him. One thing more, you
must tell the stranger within your gates,
before he retires, the hour for breakfast,
and, if there is to be no rising bell, it is
we'll to ask if he desires to be called in
the morning. To people who are ner-
vously afraid of oversleeping, clock that
strikes the hours is often comforts
while a timepiece, of some kind, should
always be found in the room. Thus
cared for, your guest ought to sleep well,
provided that he have sound digestion,
and a clear conscience. Even if these
desiderata be lacking to him, you at
least may fall into sweet slumber, lulled
by the soporific knowledge of having
done your duty to fellow-creature; but
uneasy be your dreams if you have left
an unoffending mortal in an unaired bed,
with insufficient covering, to lose hours
of precious sleep in vain attempt to
guess the probable hour of breakfast

VACATION ADVICE.

1t is always well to remember the fact
that savage COWS and fierce dogs can't
climb trees.
Don't waste your time in trying to
catch two-inch fish with ten-foot pole.
You may imagine that you help the
haymakers by jabbing the horses with
the pitchfork and getting tangled up in
the reins, but you do not, and they will
probably tell you so.
Don'tgO out in the woods to fly kite
only the birds fly there.
If strange dog smiles at you it is pol
icy to smile back, and if he runs at you
the best thing is to run back.
Don't climb trees after blackberries.
The only thing you will get on such
quest is-''left.
Don't try swimming in creeks where
the water is two feet deep and the mud
six feet.
1t is adding insult to injury to burn
up the farmers fence in trying to cook
the corn that you have helped yourself
to.
If YOU get tired doing nothing, it is a
good thing to sit under the barn and pass
the time in waiting for the weather-cock
to crow. A great many days may be en-
ployed in this manner.
When you go ont for an all day tramp
don't eat up all your lunch at ten
o'clock. You will be feel starved by two
if you do so.
DO not be angry If the ROSTERS awaken
youat day break. Remember that If you
went to bed at sunset you would be
willing TO get up with the chickens,
and ROSTERS don't stop to consider such
things.
If a goose cries at you, do not cry
yourself in turn. Only geese do that.
Don't try leap-frog over the cows in,
the pasture. The COWS might object.
A barn roof is not meant as a tobOggan
slide, and shingles are rather hard on
trousers. From Harper's Young People.

DRIVING THE BOYS OFF THE FARM

In driving along a certain highway in
one of our counties not long since, we
observed lad of tender years with a
spud in hand in a great ten acre field bat
Ting with thistles, which were numer-
GUS enough to keep ten boys for many
days before they would get over that
field. Our thoughts went back to the
days of long ago when, upon another
farm, we were set to cut thistles with a
butcher knife, where they grew from two
to six to the square foot. The task then
appeared overwhelming, and because
overwhelming it was irksome. The very
hoDelessness of getting over it bred dis
content, and many time we wished the
thistles far away, and the writer, too.
We pitied the boy, and deplored the lack
of Judgment which put him alone at a
task which, like the story of the king
and the locust, was literally without any
end. If there is anything calculated to
break the spirit of boy more than an
other, it is toiling in loneliness at task
which he has no hope of completing. If
our farmers desire to drive their boys
from the farm, this method of doing it
viii prove very effective. The thought
of victory always stimulates; and when
a lad is gwen task, let it be of nature
which holds out the hope of some termi-
nation, and, if at all possible, associated
with help. We have great faith in the
efficacy of the spud as a means of ex-
terminating weed life; but when its use
is made the means of DISCRIMINATING for
ever in the youthful breast the love for
rural labor and rural life, it furnishes in
large measure the elements of regret

petite has good health. But how many
there are who enjoy nothing they eat,

this condition are so happily combined

tempt to restore order; but before he could an
nounce the vote the delegates crowded about
him and were making all sorts of charges Of
unfairness, SO that the vote could not be an
nounced.
Mr.. Boston, whose voice could be heard
above the din, asked: "What are We doing here?
Nothing but fighting over our independence
Shame on you. shame on you!" he shouted.
Chairman Chase then stood upon a chair and
was heard to announce that the motion to lie
ON the table was lost the vote being Sc to 46.
This announcement was the signal for the
widest confusion. Delegates stood on chairs
and fully half of them attempted to address the
chair at the same time.
Charlie Marshall assumed leadership of the
fac ton opposed TO the chair. and called upon
those who were of the same mind TO follow him
out and go home.

They repaired 10 the rear Of the hall and were
on their way out when the Chase delegates took
their seats and voted to make the temporary
organization permanent without a dissenting
vote.

cession of the Chase faction, William H. Booker

Conference Committee to Consider the
Election of State Officers.
The Connecticut house convened yesterday
afternoon and after considerable routine bust
ness reached the important question of the
day as to whether the house would recede from
its amendment striking out the word slate in
the senate resolution appointing a committee
Of conference. The house, on motion of Mr..
Greene chairman of the committee on canvass
OF votes, unanimously voted to recede from
its position and concur with the senate.
The republicans. who are in a mai rity in
the lower house, have insisted on recount by
canvassing committee composed of a ma
jority Of republicans That majority has re-
ported that there was no election Of any demo-
cratic candidate on the state ticket except the
controller, and that the legislature is there
fore entitled to elect the remainder o; the Off
GERS. The minority report declared that the
democrats we're all elected by majorities rang
ing from q TO GOO votes. The senate. being
democratic. holds that the democrats were
elected. II the election is thrown into the
legislature the republican candidates would be
seated. The proposition to appoint a confer
ence committee of the two houses came near
failing because the house insisted on striking
out the word late in the resolution referring
to the election. The house having receded
from its amendment the dispute will go to the
conference committee.

decided sensation has been caused in finan-
cial circles in Paris by the disappearance of a
well-known banker who is known to have left
debts to the amount of 20, coo 900 francs behind
him and who may have committed suicide
The bankers name is NJ Victor Mace, and his
financial establishment, private bank, was To-
Gated in the Rue Cadet. Everything about the
establishment seemed to breathe an air of wealth
and refinement, luxury and solidity. In addi-
ton NJ. Mace WAS gentleman of most pleasant
address, perfect conversationalist and good
judge of men and women.
On Friday numbers Of N. Mace's clients,
alarmed by rumors as to his solvency, called at
his banking house in the Rue Cadet and were
put on by the clerks with the usual stereotyped
excuses On Saturday, however, the deluded
depositOrs were not to be beaten off, They
literally besieged the bank in large numbers
and were reinforced by crowds of persons who
were attracted to the spot in the hope of seeing
something exciting. strong force of police
were sent for, and by vigorous measures the
officers saved the bank from being wrecked by
the then thoroughly maddened depositors
Finally the police yesterday produced letter
Nom n. Mace, whose whereabouts seem to be
unknown to even his most intimate friends In
this letter Mace announced that he intends to
commit suicide and says that he has left his
creditors all the money that remains to him
one million francs-deposited in the Credit
Lyonnais.
A hasty examination Of NJ. Mace's accounts
shows that he owes at least &c, 600 600 francs to
the deluded people who have been trusting to
his high rate Of interest. Few people believe
that NJ. Mace ever had any intention of COM
hitting suicide.

everybody who would necessarily be informed
regarding the seizure Of poachers, especially if
attended with tragic results. Officials of the
Alaska Commercial Company have no record
Of any such case. The fact also appears that
while the Russians have seized several vessels
they have always been on account of some
carrying trade with the natives in liquor or
arms. Louis Sloss said that he had never heard
of such a seizure. SO did Capt. n. C. Baum,
who is the acting Russian consul at San Fran
cisco. At the Office of the North American Com
mercial Company no information had at any
time been received of the alleged seizure of the
Helena. No facts were known connected with
the alleged hardships of Capt Morris and his
crew.
Capt. Morris claims to have returned to the

passed through this city he failed to make him
