HOW SHE KEEPS well.
Some of the Devices of Wise and Wary
Little Typewriter.

She is brisk little typewriter in
downtown office. Her hours are long,
and she is far from strong, yet she
seems to stand her work much better
than many more robust girls. The
other day wopnan asked her how she
managed to keep so rosy and cheerful.
why. thin>l,n she said. 1.-THE secret
of it is that humor my little wants.
l keep a regular storeroom of things
in the office to coddle myself with. I
find it is the trifes of life that tell on
me, so l am particularly careful about
trifles. If it is winter time l keep
soft wooden cape to throw about my
shoulders if l feel chilly. I wear
thick-soled common-sense shoes in the
street, but it takes too much vitality to
wear them in the house all day, so l
reach my desk. l never take cold, for
| am used to the change. If it is sum-
mer keep a comfortable house waist
to wear at my work instead OF tight
fitting sacque.
II like to wear a nice dress, and l
dislike to see the elbows look thread
bare, so 1 wear some black silk sleeves
that reach to the elbows. A black
alpaca apron protects the front of my
gown.
Il am never worried if sudden
storm comes up, for it cannot take me
unprepared. | always keep a rubber
cloak, umbrella and rubbers on hand.
1t doesn't cost great deal to buy the
two sets. and / can't express the peace
of mind it gives to have them ready.
For toilet purposes l have couple
of clean towels, comb, soap, nailbrush,
little mirror and whisk broom. Be-
sides these, I have bottle of witch
hazel and pot of vaseline for an acci-
dent.
"One is always liable to tear or rip
ones clothes, so keep a little basket
with thimble, needles and several col
ors of thread. if want to take "a stitch
in time and so save taking nine at
home at night.
There is one thing more, and don't
you laugh at it. I have a wee alcohol
lamp and jar of beef extract. / get
faint sometimes in the middle of the
forenoon, and then it takes only min
ute to make a cup of hot beef tea. and
am fresh and ready for work again. y
..But where do you keep all these
things-the workbasket and the beef
extract and the looking -glassP" asked
the woman.
There is little closet in the Office
where l hang my coat and hat. |
bought two iron brackets and coaxed
the Office boy to put up shelf for me.
1 hung my mirror on the inside of the
door, put my traps on the shelf, and
am as snug as bug in arug.' The
closet is just big enough to hold a
chair for me to sit on while take off
or put on my shoes. There was only
a little forethought needed. and now
l am altogether comfortable" " the lit
tie typewriter added as she waved her
parasol at a downtown car.

RAIN SUGGESTIONS.
Various Ways Which Moisture Is Coaxed
from the Unwilling Clouds.

In the Caucasian province of Georgia
where drought has lasted long. mar
riageable girls are yoked in couples
priest holds the reins., and thus har-
messed they wade through rivers. pud-
dies and marshes praying, screaming
weeping and laughing.
In district of Transylvania. when
the ground is parched with drought,
some girls strip themselves naked. and,
led by an older woman. who is also
naked. they steal harrow and carry
it across the field to a brook, where
they set it afoat. Next they sit on the
harrow and keep tiny flame burning
on each corner of it for an hour. Then
they leave the harrow in the water and
60 home.
A similar rain charm is resorted to
in India; naked women drag a plow
across the field by night. 1t is not
said that they plunge the plow intosa
stream or sprinkle 1t with water. But
the charm would hardly be complete
without it. Sometimes the charm
works through an animal.
To procure rain the Peruvians used
to set black sheep in field, pour
chica over it and give it nothing to eat
till rain fell.
In district of Sumatra all the wo-
men of the village, scantily clad, go to
the river, wade into it and splash each
other with the water. A black cat is
thrown into the water and made to
swim about for while, then allowed
to escape to the bank, pursued by the
splashing of the women. In these
cases the color of the animal is part of
the charm; being black it will darken
the sky with rain clouds. So the
Bechuanas burn the stomach of an OK
at evening because, they say ''the
black smoke will gather the clouds and
cause the rain to come" The Timores
sacrifice black pig for rain. white
or red one for sunshine. The Garos
offer black goat on the top of very
high mountain in time of drought
Sometimes people try to coerce the
rain-god into giving rain. In China a
huge dragon made of paper or wood,
representing the rain-god, is carried
about in procession; but if no rain fol-
lows, it is cursed and torn in pieces.
In the like circumstances the Feloupes
of Senegambia throw down their
fetiches and drag them about the fields,
cursing them till rain falls. Some In
dians of the Orinoco worshipped toads
ans kept them in vessels in order to
obtain from them rain or sunshine as
might be required; when their prayers
were not answered they beat the toads
Killing a frog is European rain
charm. When the spirits withhold
rain or sunshine, the Comanches whip
a slave; if the gods prove obstinate,
the victim is almost fayed alive. Here
the human being may represent the
god, like the leafclad Dodola. Golden

What He Could Have Insured.

One of the oldest colored men who
hang around Dyer street looking for a
job recently approached one of the
commission merchants on that street,
and, after considerable shuffiing
around, exclaimed:
Say. boss, 1 wants ter AK yer a
question"
"All right. go ahead"

AS far as certain republican journals
are concerned the campaign of educa-
ton is at an end. Defeated in their
efforts to convert the people to their
false tariff theories they have planned
an attack on Gov. Campbells private
business record. They say he lost
money in certain transactions. They
are not specific enough to give any as.
surance to their assertions and even if
1t were true that the governor has been
unfortunate in business dealings whose
business it but his own?-Bucyrus
Forum.

The House of Commons.

The British house of commons is be-
coming sensible and more inclined to
transact its business at proper hours.
Every. year the tendency is for shorter
sittings. A few years ago it sat till 2
or o'clock in the morning, and often
after the morning papers had gone to
press. Now it is impatient at being
called upon to sit until o'clock in the
morning on only two days in the week.
Midnight is the time when the last
trains go homeward, and the members
do not like to be detained

Glessner, of the Hancock Courier,
pertinently says:
The republican party is trying hard
to catch the vote ''a-comin' or a-goin' %
They point with pride to.their protective
tariff tax averaging 60 per cent, and
with ecstacy to their free trade fraud
called reciprocity. 'You pays you
money and takes your choice" just so
you vote to keep the g. o. p. in power,
which is their real and only principle.
The republican papers say that the
Goulds want Campbell defeated. That
is the best reason why he should be
elected

When Maj. Mckinley advocates a
tariff on tin plate that is prohibitive in
order to build up an American industry
that is only prospective, and at the
same time denounce silver in the
strongest terms that he can with his
very elaborate vocabulary, it places
him in the eyes of the people as incon-
sistent to great degree. If America
is to be for America, why should he fol-
low the dictation of England and de-
monetize silver when he refused to ac-
cept the freer commercial ideas that
have made England prosper?-Steuben-
vile Gazette.

AFFAIR Statement of the Case.

The Jacksonian, Wooster, puts the
case truly:
The McKinleyites and their journals
do some tall and grotesque contracting
and relaxing in their frantic endeavors
to demonstrate that an oppressively
high protective measure such as their
tariff act assuredly is, is a blessing and
benefit to the agricultural classes.
They as matter of course can not
prove any such proposition, for they
know what Blaine told them was true
that the bill would not open a market
for another barrel of pork or bushel of
wheat.
The laws of supply and demand are
solely what gives the farmer chance
to sell his products, but the Mckinley
bill inf1icts upon him an oppressive,
wanton and unwarranted taxation, that
extracts not only the money his farm
proceeds bring him, but forces him by
conditions of sheer necessity to mort
gage his property and get into debt
They have discovered these facts, and
every intelligent, thoughtful farmer
has arrived at the fair and correct con-
clusion that the Mckinley bill is the
fraud and crime of the centuries and
only a support and aid to huge, rotten
corporations and powerful consuming
and swind1ing monopolies.
