A Whltewash That STAYS Put.

l have found a whitcwash that is,
however, not exactly pure white, but
one that will stick. 1t may be made
as follows: Slako half a bushel OF
stone lime in hot water. When done,
pour in two gallons OF clear grease OF
any kind and hot water enough TO
thoroughly mix. Finish by adding
enough water to make a barrel. For
each gallon of the grease a gallon of
coal tar may be substituted, with
good results. The addition Of the
grease was suggested by seeing the
brief statement somewhere that pot
ash and grease make soft soap, and
soda and grease make soft soap, and
lime and grease insoluble soap,
Some tree trunks treated to a white
wash made as above subjected since
to three or four heavy rains, retain it
like old paint Correspondence

"Oh, auntie, you ought to know
Bertha Elliott! She is the funniest
girl"
'Do you mean witty?" inquired
Aunt Fannie with an air of interest.
ooh, pity sakes! no. She's as desti-
tute of humor as q basket of chips"
"Then she does comical things, "
said Aunt Fannie, patiently, "things
that makes you laugh"
"Dear me! no. She's as proper as
proper can be, but l never know how
to take her"
"You mean, then, suppose that
she is peculiar-eccentric, do you not,
Nellie?"

streak, and she wears such funny
clothes and does up her hair in such a
funny way! Altogether, she is very
funny, auntic.'
"DOcs she use the word funny'?''

spoke.
"Now, auntic, you are laughing at

II would laugh in good earnest, "
said Aunt Fannie, "if | could make
you drop the use of that much-abused
word"
Nellie had great fondness for adj
jectiyes and adVerbs, and she used
them with reckless freedom, and with
an utter disregard OF their correct
meaning.
"Nellie, will you have some of the
oyster stew" asked her mother at
tea-time.
"No, thank you," Nellie replied; 81

would have them scolloped or fried
scollOped oysters are splendid, and
they are just lovely fried"
Aunt Fanny could scarcely forbear
making a wry face at this abuse OF
language; but when Nellie declared a
few minutes later that she loved picked
lines dearly, Aunt Fanny laughingIy
remarked, Il shall know howto value
that same expression when applied to
me-
"Well, truly, aunt Fam" said the
incOrrigible Nellie, "picked lines are
awfully nice-just elegant"
Thus it is, day in and day out.
Nellie is pupil in the high-school
but her remarks are interlarded by al
sorts of meaningless expressions
which make up in seeming force what
they lack in grace or accuracy.
"Id rather die than write an essay?'
she declared vehemently. But the
dreadful essay is written, and she
survives to make many similar at
tempts. The word every" has quite
vanished from her vocabulary, and
"real' serves as q substitute wher

frequently remarks upon the mistakes
OF her associates. She disapproves, ir

herself an advocate of good English

The White House Pretorians.

The success which met Senator
Vance's st9pson short time ago
when he started to break into the
white house startled those charged
with preventing the approach of in
truders there. A force of picked po-
lice officers under command of q ser
geant are on duty at the white house
at all hours. They are fifteen in num-
Der and on duty in squads of five each.
Two men are stationed inside of the
house while the other three are sup
posed topatrol the grounds.
A high iron picket fence surrounds
the grounds. Besides the officers that
patrol the grounds the white house
has two dogs, which can generally be
found prowling around. Yet on the
night in question the young man
scaled the high fence, stopped to r9
move some of his surplus clothing
evaded the three officers and the dogs
and was on the rear porch of the
white house and had broken one o.
the windows before those inside had
any intimation of his approach. His
escape showed the dereliction Of the

welcome Guest.
Aunt Betsy Hicks, New England
woman who had been left q widow
after a few years of welded life, car
ried on her husbands farm with a
great deal OF ability, but with such
close economy that her saving devices
grew famous in the country round
about.
Next to her economy Of provisions
her economy of firewood was perhaps
her chief concern. At one time a
sister of her late husband from down
cOuntry' came to make her a visit,
and soon became convinced that
Betsy was trying to freeze her out.
But perhaps this was not so, as the
temperature was as Mrs Hicks usual
ly kept it.

Then she turned over the stick of
wood in the sheet iron stove, while
her guest walked UP and down the
room with her hands thrust up III the
sleeves of her dress.
The visitor remained at Aunt
Betsy S for several days, however, in
spite of the chOked-up thermometer,
spending much of her time in bed, or
watching chance to smuggle a stick
into the stove when her hostess was
out of the room.
Late one afternoon she happened to
90 out into the WoOdshed, and found
Aunt Betsy there with an old shawl
wrapped around her shoulders and a
stick in her hand, engaged in violently
stirring something in a large can. A
strong smell of petroleum filled the
air.
BETSY Hicks said the visitor,
"what be you q doin'?"

about a fencing-master in London

Who was the strongest and best

a burglar got into the house one
night. One Of the sons, opened the
front door with a latchkey late at
night, found a rObber in the hall,
They Immediately clinched. The
other brother, heareng the noise, rush

the dark to distinguish a burglar
from q worthy and honest citizen OF
London, proceeded to pound both
men who he ran against Meanwhile
brother No. |, thinking there was two
burglars in the house, burned half OF
his attention to the new enemy and
the fight became desperate, The
father, awakened by the uproar,
rushed down stairs with a heavy
walking stick. Then the fight was
something to admire, but to avoid
When it was all over and the gas was
lighted by the aged fencing-master, it
was discovered that he had whipped

The Stock Grower of last week contains the following paragraph. which is not running over with good cheer for cattlemen: South western stockmen, who have recent ly been through Kansas trying to dispose of cattle to feeders, are not enthusiastic over the result of their trip, or the prospects for future sales, except for good stock. The feeling of the farmers seems to be that it is more profitable to sell their corn and grain than to feed, and unless there should be a tum- ble iii prices, which at present does not seem at all probable,i it is likely that there will be much less num- Der of cattle fed than 1t was sup posed there would be in the event of big stock of feed.

A cleverly designed instrument,

A cleverly designed instrument, by means of which the profile of a river bed can be taken automati cally, has been invented by Ger man engineer. The record can be taken from a boat at the rate of B to 64 miles an hour. The appara- tus consists of a curved arm, which is hinged at it's upper extremity, and is so long that the lower curved portion trails on the bottom of the stream The deeper the stream the greater the inclination of the arm, and hence, by a suitable recording mechanism, the depth can be auto matically registered on a revolving drum, as the boat moves. The in- strument has already made a record in practical testing of 297 miles in ten days.-Louisville Courier-Jour- nal.
