Hints on Towels.

Orange Judd
AS to texture or quality, that must
be question of taste and means, but,
if possible, have generous supply,
and of good size. One can rub much
drier, after bathing, with an ample-
sized towel than with small marrow
one. While the first cost may be a
little more for the large sized ones,
they will last longer, and be much
more satisfactory in the. end. 1t
will be an economy, too, to buy
them in the winter, as most large
stores have clearing sales" then,
when they can be had at little
above wholesale prices. Then they
are more easily softened and whiten-
ed, being hung out to freeze in the
cold weather.
1t is well to have roller towels in
bathrooms and children's rooms as
well as in the kitchen. They are thus
more easily kept in place, and are
more evenly soiled than the separate
towel. Children are very apt to
leave a towel on the floor or wash
stand, or use one instead of Il wash
cloth, but roller towel is safe from
all such neglect and misuse.
From long experience we lind
huckaback toweling weal5 longer
han damask or ordinary diaper tow
cling. Crash is also desirable, and,
as it comes in all grades, can be util-
lied not only for bathroom, but
kitchen roller towels. Russian tow
cling is also desirable, as it wears
well, is pleasant to the skin, and with
its somewhat rough surface helps to
keep the pores open.
A hint as to dish towels: They are
too often made of coarse, harsh linen
These, when new, will not wipe the
dishes dry, and after washing are APT
to retain greasy smell. Time i;
saved by using those that are soft
and somewhat fine. The silver linen,
as it is called, that barred with blue Oh
red, wears and washes very well and
leaves no lint behind, and we believe
it quite as economical as any.

A VERY STRANGE STORY.
A SPIRIT DETECTING OPTICAL IN
STRUMENT.

A Frenchman's Marvellous study OF
Death With MRgnifying Lens-At
Any Rate, Curious Piece of Writing
That Is Worth Reading.
We do not pretend to vouch for the
truth of the following story. On general
principles we are inclined to consider its
piece of imagination akin to Locke's
Moon Hoax" Nevertheless it recently
appeared in French scientific publica-
ton, written apparently by savant of
the theosophical variety. According to
the story, the savant determined to try
the effect of an optical instrument of vast
magnifying power to endeavor to detect
whether or not there existed spiritual OF
"astral" body, as the theosophists have it.
The experiment, according to the saw
ant, writing in French publication,
was very difficult Aecollecting that it
had been asserted that it was possible to
see the astral body lie corps fuidique)
leave the body at the moment of death,
he says he was not willing to remain
longer in ignorance; he therefore ar
ranged the apparatus, and when he had
succeeded in getting the most perfect
adjustment as to light and magnifying
power, he was called to the bedside of
dying person. He had been expecting
the summons, and he remained beside
the dying man until the approach of
death became manifest.
"A sudden trembling shaking the
whole body announced that the supreme
moment had come. With one of my
friends who was assisting me we placed
our heads under the dark covering of the
apparatus and kept our eyes steadfastly
fixed on the obi ct glass. The particles
of dust in the air were magnified many
thousands of times, and for moment
their violent movement produced cloud
in front of the glass. Then delicate
column of violate vapor, condensed into
q flocculent mass, was clearly seen above
and around the body. Particles ap-
peared to pursue one another as if obedi-
ent to some kind of central attraction.
The cloud condensed more and more,
and took the vaporous form of a man,
then rapidly became purified until it was
as colorless as the most perfect crystal.
"At this time there was around us a
feeling of terrible stillness-a calm that
was almost agonizing An indescribable
sensation held us to the instrument, while
our hearts seemed to cease pulsating. We
kept our eyes fixed on the glass. Particle
after particle grouped themselves together
so as to reproduce the exact form of a
man we knew so well. The form foated
at about foot above the body, to which
it was distinctly united by q delicate
cord.
THE face was undoubtedly the face of
the man, but much finer and calmer.
The eyes were closed and the astral shape
seemed to be asleep. By double inn
pulse we, both of us, experienced the de-
sire that the form should awake. At that
very moment the bond which joined it to
the body broke.
"A slight trembling passed over this
beautiful, perfectly nodded form; VIC
let flame shone VIII re the heart should
be. 1t stood up and gave soTowing
look at the abandoned body, extended
the right hand with gesture of adieu
then vanished, condensing into small
sphere, which disappeared in the dawn Of
the everlasting tomorrow.

Since his return from America Edouard
Strauss makes some astonishing state
ments concerning his reception in
America. After giving some remarkable
statistics of the concert tour, he says:
In Boston the Strauss Orchestra made
its first acquaintance with the American
public. The concert began late in the
evening. Nearly 5000 people filled the
hall. Nearly one-third of these were in
shirt sleeves, and yet they were mostly
persons of the middle class. This class il
one to which the workingmen belong in
America, and is very much respected on
that side of the ocean. The workingmen
earn much money, and are therefore in
a position to indulge themselves. They
have an especial taste for mucic, and no
admission price is too high for them if the
fame of the artist has crossed the ocean.
IAN audience of 5000 in America is
not an especially large one. In some
cities the orchestra had more than IL, 900
persons frequently present. The first
number on the program, a Strauss
waltz, was listened to in dead silence. A
second and third followed, and still no
applause. At last, after the fourth piece,
the entire audience began to whistle.
This astonished Mr.. Strauss and his men.
With amazement hesaw his manager COM
ing to him beaming with pleasure to con
graduate him. What does this mean ?
asked Mr.. Strauss. Don't you see, was
the answer, you have made them en-
thusiastic and they are whistling. -
