Potatoes a s Penwipers

One of the chief woes of the ready
writer, be he clerk or what not
consists in the fact that he no soon.
er gets a pen into good working or
der than it, like the "dear gazelle, ,
comes to an untimely end from cor
rosion caused by the ink.
Life is not long enough to use and
mend quilts, nor to apply with deli
cate firmness the peu-wiper to a
steel one. But some genius has
now hit on solution OF the diff
Guilty which has the merit of the
most extreme simplicity. In many
offices, we are informed, a potato is
used instead of a pen-wiper. The
juicy tuber holds the pen steady,
removes at once all ink from the
nib, and prevents, or at least very
greatly delays, the process of cor
rosion, and spares many a we'll
loved pen to ripe old age.-Pall

Hints to Housekeepers.

TO melt chocolate, break il in a
few pieces, then melt it in a small
dish set in the top Of the tcakettlc;
it is not necessary to CRATE it. DO
not put Il chocolate mixture into Il
tin mold, as it will become dis
colored from contact with the tin.
When your face and ears burn SO
terribly, battle them in very hot
water, as hot AS you can bear. This
will be more apt to cool them than
any cold application.
A good remedy for damp, moist
hands is four ounces of cologne
water and onc-halt ounce of tineturc
of hclladonna. Rub the hands with
this several times u day.
Colorcd tennis flannel should he
washed in water about the temper
allure of the room they are washed
in, with good white soap of any
kind, and rinscd thoroughly in water
of the same temperature, and wrung
out as dry a. possible. They may
be hung up for IA short time in the
house, bni should be taken down
while still damp and ironed dry.
Some laundresses never hang them
up, but wiring them so dry that the
iron completes the drying.
A good egg heater may be spoiled
by ill-treatment. If washed in hot
soap and water which takes the oil
ont, it will not work we'll. To keep
it in good order, wash it by beating
dish of cold water or hold it I'M
der the cold water faucet; this will
remove egg, cream or dough better
than hot dishwater.
TO make candy from honey, boil
one cupful of honey, one cupiul Of
sugar, onefourth cupful of water
and a large teaspoontul of butter.
Test in water and pull while cooling
Streaming the face at night over a
bowl of very hot water, and then
bathing it with very cold water, is
IA simple method of giving it Il Rus
sian bath, and will tend to make
the skin winter and smoother and
the flesh tirmer.
Chop suet very fine, hen rub it
to a cream; this will prevent Jumps
of suet in the pudding or pie. Be
fore chopping remove every bit of
membrane.
Rice is very nice for dessert when
prepared with strawberry jam. Put
IL layer Of rice, cooked rather thick,
on plate; spread the rice with

The Yagaries of YesuYius.

The truth seems to be, says the Lon
don Standard, that Vesuvius, like most
of the order of mountains to which IT
belongs, is in no way to be depended
upon. 1t is an example of the uselessness
of the current classification of volcanoes
into extinct, quiescent, and active. There
was a time when it would have been con-
fidently pronounced to be as extinct as
those of Auvergne, and when its long
silence might have at least justified the
appelletion of quiescent. Yet we know
that. if not continuously active-and in
reality no volcano is SOFT bursts into a
fury of ashes and lava and pumice- ce-stone
so frequently that it is hard to say when
it will stop and when begin afresh. A
record of the eruptions since 70 Is a
varied catalogue of disasters. After the
giant paroxysm of that year it remained
for 1900 years in condition of such
feeble activity that, though many eyes
were naturally directed to it, it was re-
garded as having almost exhausted ITSELF
Again the crater got overgrown with
vegetation, villages rose on its slopes
and vineyards on its rich volcanic soil,
hunters tracked the wild boar to the
thickets which spread rank over the
spots once black with hard caked ashes,
and herdsmen grazed their cattle on the
wide grassy plains which stretched close
to ''the pit of Tartarus." But at length,
after six months of earthquakes, always
increasing in intensity, the closed crater
again burst open and discharged stones
and dust with such vehemence that
some of the latter, shot into the upper
currents of the atmosphere, fell on the
housetops of Tripoli and Constantinople.
Far and near the pasty streams, akin to
those which overwhelmed Pompeii, ran
across the plains, until the villagers at
the base of the Apennines saw these ser
pent-llke messengers at their doors, and
for the first time in Its modern history
lava flowed west and south, and reached
the sea in many divided rivulets. So
swiftly did all this happen that, though
the Inhabitants had been fully warned,
the loss of life was estimated at from
5000 to 1S, 600. Bosco, Tore del Greco,
Resina and Portici were flooded by the
seven rivers of lava, though, as rule,
the ashes settling, owing to the falling
rain, into the concrete known as "puz-
zolona" are the most characteristic of
the products of eruptions. Since 1851
there have been between sixty and sew
enty outbursts, 1856, 1857, 1879, 1894
and 1922 being the years of the most
activity, though none of them equals the
two most memorable in the volcanoes
history. The lower slopes are again
covered with the vineyards of Lacrima
Christi, that "wine of ashes" celebrated
by Chiabrara as sal vin," to which ''la
gente diede nome dolente" and the light
some Neapolitans drink, dance and are
merry as their ancestors were before the
cities of Campania perished. There is
for the moment no reason for believing
that their mirth is unwarranted, but we
repeat that Vesuvius is one of those
on which it is dangerous to
calculate.

Half-DOllars Not Popular.

There is one unpopular coin issued by
Uncle Sam. 1t is the half dollar, and it
has tendency to work its way back into
the Treasury vaults, where it isn't wanted
As money, nobody objects to the half,
but the popular fancy is for the same
value in another form. That is, the
average citizen prefers to have two
quarters. They are triie m ,re con-
venient. If he wants to pay out half a
dollar he can use the half or the two
quarters with equal convenience, but if
twenty-five cents is to be paid out the
quarter is far the handler coin.
This may not seem to be very i'm
portant matter, but it counts in the long
run. Little by little the halves find their
way back to the Government vaults, and
there they stay, like poor relations. In
fact, so far as coming home in disgrace
goes, the half dollar is the Prodigal Son
of the Mints.
A very large proportion of the $2O,-
900, 900 of fractional silver on hand at
Washington is made up of halves This
is the lot which Secretary Foster was
so anxious to get rid of, and about which
he talked with the New York bankers
when he made his visit here. Nobody
then manifested any wild desire to take
the Secrctary's load off his shoulders.
1t is probable that good many of the
halves stored up in Washington will be
recoined into quarters and dimes. In
that way they will be more convenient
for popular use. And Mr.. Foster will
sleep more comfortably O. nights-which
will be good thing and benefit all
around.
OF course, lots of halves are used and
will continued to be used. Their coin
age will be kept up and nobody will have
any more difficulty in getting them than
Usual. But The proportion of other
coins will be increased because the peo-
pie like them better.
The New York Sub-Treasury has its
share of halves on hand, and the other
day it tried to work off some of them.
1t was day when pension checks were
being paid, and nearly every one was
cashed partly in halves. Before the close
of the day good many of the halves
were back in the Treasury. And
they are there yet.-Ne,o York Times.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1891-09-11

Ha,per'S Weekly says: The impression
made by Blsmarck's personality has Ger.
tainly been disturbed by his course since
his removal. Apparently he has some
what mistaken his hold upon Germany.
1t was not that of a popular leader, but
OF ruler of great resources and despotic
will. Consequently when he fell from
power, and it was seen that there was no
interruption of the usual course of events.
that the situation was, in fact, unaf
fected, there was no strong personal feel
ing and loyalty upon which he could rely
in opposition to the Government. 1t is
not to be expected that Bismarck will
greatly influence affairs when he reap
pears in the German Parliament. In the
conviction of Germany, undoubtedly, his
day is past.
