COFFEE LEFT OVER.

As is quite impossible to gauge the
contents of the cofee-pot exactly, it p
important, writes Aunt ChattY, Of Bel-
mond, Iowa, to know just what to do
with the "remnant," that nothing b
wasted. Some have very bad habit 81
setting it away in the coffee.pot, when
at the next meal they either throw it out
or add some fresh. In the first instance
there is just as much waste and more
trouble than il attended to at the close
of the meal; and in the latter you have
poor, muddy coffee. J!
After considerable experimenting I
find the following method the most
economical and satisfactory:
Coffee, if properly made, is sufficiently
stepped before going to the table, hence
the grounds are useless; so at the close
of meal I at once carefully drain ths
coffee into a tin pail, kept for the pur-.,
pose, and thoroughly rinse and dry the
cotfee-pot. At next meal, or when
needed, just heat this coffee hct-butii
do not Doil-and use by itself or add u
to the freshly made just before usings
1t can scarcely be distinguished from tho
latter when used in this way.-New Yors

WASHING wooLEN UNDERWEAR.

. A. T. asks how fannels (underskirts,
etc. can be washed so as not to shrink
them. The following recipe given by .
Philadelphia manufacturer of fine under
wear is excellent, says correspondent.
My husband gets underwear costing from
ten to fourteen dollars per suit. We
wash it by this recipe, and he uses tho
garments for three winters. They arc
pretty badly worn; but soft. Use ono
pound of dissolved soap in four gallons
Of warm water, in which rinse we'll the
articles to be washed, drawing them re-
peatedly through the hand (never rub
them with the knuckles nor on wash
board, as it would. shrink and destroy
the materially Wiring them as dry "a
possible to remove the soap, rinse them
briskly in clean lukewarm water, wiring
and stretch them to their proper shape
and dry in the open air if possible.
Another reliable method: Dissolve o
sufficient quantity of soap in warm water,
adding little borax to soften it.. Wash,
wiring, and then rinse in clear, warm
water, after which shake we'll and dry
quickly. Do not rub on soap or use a
washboard. We use this latter method
for all oul flannel skirts, baby fannels,
etc., and always have them nice and
soft.-Neao York Obseroer.

URBAN POPULATION.
The Census Bureau Issues Bulletin
on That Subject.

The Census Bureau Issues Bulletin
on That Subject.
2 The Census Office at Washington has issued
bulletin giving the population of the cities
in the country containing 5000 inhabitants or
more. The total urban population in 1890
was is, 235 67O, or 80. 12 per cent. of the total
population. In 1856 the urban population
was 1l,3lS,54T, or 22.51 per cent OF the
whole. The proportion of urban population
has increased gradually during the past CEN
tury from 335 up to 2e. 70 per cent. or from
one-thirtieth up to nearly onc-third OF the to-
tai population.
The increase has been quite regular from
the beginning up to 1880, while from 1880 to
1890 it has made leap ffom PSI up to 29 l2
Der cent, thus illustrating in g. forcible mAn-
ner the accelerated tendency OF our popula-
tion toward urban life. The number of cities
having a population of more than 5000 in
creased from six in 1T90 to 2S6 in 1880. whence
it has leaped to 443 in 1890. In 1880 there
was but one city, New Yor;S, which had
population in excess of 1000, ,OOO. In 1880
there were three-New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia. In 1870 there were but four
teen cities each containing more than 100,-
900 inhabitants. In 1880 this number had
increased to twenty, and in 1890 to twenty
eight.

twenty-five miles. Bridges are burned

A RARE PRIVILEGE.
A United State es Officer to Serve With
German Regiment.

German Regiment.
The rapers at Berlin, Germany, have just
printed brief statement that Lieutenant
Powhattan q. Clarke, of the Tenth United
States Cavalry, has been detailed to serve
with the Westphalian Hussar Regiment
No. IL. This is The first instance OF q
United States arIay officer being detailed
to serve in German regiment and the
fact that he is permitted to join the Wes1
phalian Hussars shows the kindly feeling OF
tho German Government and that there Is
no jealousy un the part Of the military au'
thorities there.
Lieutenant Clarke is kinsman Of Lieu
tenant General Won Versen, the co'nmander
of the Third Army Corps. General Won Yer:
sen offered to ses what hs could do toward
getting Lieutenant Clarke chance to learn
by actual service the practical cavalry
work of the German army, provided the con-
ssnt of Mr. Proctor, the United States Secre-
tary Of War, could be secured. When the
matter was laid before Mr.. Proctor, the Sec
retary of War gave his consent to the pro-
position. The matter was laid before Gen'
eral Won Kaltenborn, the Prussian Minister
of War, and he gave his consent and &C
cordingly the detail was made.
The Westphalian HusSars ara stationed az az
Dusseldorf, and there Lieutenant Clarke VIII
ioin them. William Walter Phelps. the
American Minister there, called upon the
Minister Of War and handed to him letter
from Secretary Of War Proctor thanking
him for his interest in the matter and for hli
kindness in consentins that an American OF
1cer should serve in the German army.

DRINK AND huRpER.

A sober man scruples to do that which
drunken man will execute without hesita-
ton. These words embody the essential
motive that induces people to have recourse
to stupefying drugs and drinks People em-
ploy them either for tine purpose Of sitting
reniorse, after ha7iss performed an action
9isapprovea of by th:fr conscience, or else
in order to induce state of mind in which
they shall be capable of doing something
contrary to the dictates Of their conscience.
and to which the animal nature Of man Is
impelling him.
A sober man has conscientious scruples to
stea', to commit murder A drunken man,
Oh the contrary, is troubled with no such
scruples. Hence it is that if person wishes
to do something which his conscience forbldS
him to do he first stupefies mis- faculties.
Irecollect being struck by the statement
made by man COOK on his trial LOT tne muir
der of the old lady-a relative Of mine-ln
whose service he had been living. From the
account he gave of the crime, and the man
her in which it was perpetratsd, 1t appears
that when he had sent his paramour, the
maidservaut out of the house. and the Time
had come for him to do the deed he seized
knife and repaired to the bedroom where bis
intended victim was, but SIS he drew near ne
felt that in his sober senses he could not pos
sibly perpetrate such crime. "A sober man
has conscientious scruples." He turned back,
gulped down two tumblers of brandy tnaI
he had provided beforehand, and then, ana
not beforehand, felt that he was ready 10 20
the deed, and didit
Nine tenths of the total number OF crimes
that stain humanity are committed Ill the
same way: First take drink to give you

Nor is this all. Not only do people cloud
their own faculties in order to stde the voice
of conscience but, knowing what the effect
of alcohol is. whenever they wish to make
other people perform en- act that is contrary
to the dictates of their conscience they pur-
posely stupefy them in order to render them
temporarily deaf to its remonstrances. IN
war soldiers are always made drunk when
they are about to be sent into close hand.to-
hand combat. During the storming OF Be-
