Selfishness of Some Mothers,

1.-THE selfishness of mothers" says the
wife of a physician, lis something that
should be inveighed against. speak with
special reference to it in times of disease
There is a case Of scarlet fever on our
block in a house which fronts on the other
street, and now that the child is getting
well the mother, or nurse, is so careless as
to shake bedclothing daily from the win
dow of the sickroom. This endangers the
health of the whole court of children. as
nobody knows into whose windows the dis
carded skin flakes may fly.
Another mother of a convalescent scar
let fever child, also in our block, had all
the belongings of the room removed to the
yard and beaten and aired, Gaping the
climax by burning the little crib mattress
in the same confined space. Mothers seem
to get calious after the danger is past for
their own offspring, and often show lack
of consideration they would be the first to
grow indignant over if the case were re-
versed. Her Point of View in New York

WROTE BIG STORIES.
A REPORTER WHO WAS A RO-
MANCER OF GREAT ABILITY.

A Bright Young Man Who Had a PEN
chant for Turning Out Special News
That Startled People-The Pioneer OF a
kass That Is More Common Today.
Crowley was a redheaded, freckled
! faced Irishman. He had the greatest
imagination that l ever knew of, and
could express himself fiuently and grace
| fully. He turned the quiet city of Roch-
ester upside down more than once by
his imaginary stories. He worked along
about 1880, perhaps a little before.
! When he came to work he was put Oh
the regular apprentice lines, but soon
showed that he was too good man to
! be kept clubbing around after mortuary
notices and other truck of that kind.
He had genius for writing imaginary
/ stories and locating them somewhere,
with the invariable effect of causing
1 people to flock to the place where his
fairy tale was alleged TO have happened.
| One night, when news was dull, the
/ city editor told Crowley to write story
! of some kind about a column in length
| to help fill up. Crowley sat down at his
desk and ground out tale about q thrill
| ing experience that he had in the north
ern part of the city which ran like this:
He was walking down in that part of
the city when he heard the bell in one
of the steeples near by clang. 1t was
late at night, and he wondered at it and
straightwsy proceeded to investigate.
He found the door of the church stand
ing wide open and went in.
Just as ne entered the bell rang again,
and he heard a noise up in the steeple.
He started 10 climb up, and when he
neared the top an enormous rock came
crashing down through the stairway
and nearly struck him. He climbed far
Their, and another rock came down. At
last he reached the top. where he found
an escaped maniac, and after desper-
ate struggle overpowered him Absurd
as that story was, thousands OF people
went down to that church on the next
morning prompted by that insane curl
osity that makes people flock 10 the
scene OF any crime or casualty.
The success of this story gave Crow
ley cue, and it wasn't long until the
community was shocked beyond meas
ure by the details Of horrible murder
committed on a canal boat tied up at
Fairport, which is little village ten
miles from Rochester and on the Enc
canal. The crime was described with
minuteneSs and the Danes Of the boat
and the man murdered and everything
given with such apparent cando- that
the police officers Of Rochester were
amazed next morning 70 think that they
had nos heard of 1t before, and detail
of men was sent TO the spot 10 investi-
gate. When they got there there was
nothing to investigate. and Crowley got
out of the scrape in some way or other
best known 10 himself
His most fanlo1s story was the ueT-

Temperature for a Piano.

The most serious injuries that betall
pianos are usually the results of temper
allure; either it is too dry or too damp.
The incompetent tuner does great harm,
but the extremes of hot air or moisture Go
more harm than all the tuners alive.
From careful observation it is safe to say
that 90 per cent. OF the pianos in cold lati-
tudes have, after the first year one or
more cracks in their sounding boards. l.
your house is heated by stoves put the
instrument in a room without stove
in one that IS heated from al adjoining
room. If you have steam or furnace OF
any of the other modern methods of heat
ing, your piano viii do better if kept il

WOMAN AND HOME.
A hOUSEKEEPER SHOULD HAVE
PLENTY OF USEFUL TOOLS.

The Destructive Broom-Thcy Need Coos
Food-Let the Girls Romp-A Gifted
Woman Women in England's Civil
Service-Fashion Repeats Itself.
A carpenter would not think of tryiup
to work without good supply of tools
and why should housekeeper? By this
! do not mean that she should have five
or six different kinds of lemon soueezers
and then squeeze her lemons with her
fingers, or three or four potato Washers
and then serve the potatoes whole. Neithe-

with steamers, cookers, broilers and
kettles that are never used-but to have
plenty of useful tools.
have found that | can live without q
soap shaker. / have tried it. | use instead
a little washing powder in my dishwater
Trial viii show how much to use, also
what kind is best. 1t makes the water so
much softer and seems cleaner than soap,
and glass and silver look so bright that
you viii like to look at them. The bits of
soap that would go into the soap shaker
can be used in the boiler on washday And
the powder VIII not hurt your hands, for
of course you use a handle dishmop at
least, while the water is hot The dishcloth
without the handle, the one that is made
of an old dishtowel, is always wearing
out and getting dirty. Anyway, mine is,
or was, for | have found a remedy. l buy
a yard of crash toweling-it is quite thick
and strong-and cut it into halves; ! then
hem both pieces, and there are two dish
cloths that will last three or four months
apiece.
One tool I find useful in the kitchen is
an artists palette knife. II is very timber
and is not suitable for rough work, but in
certain places it has no equal. How dis
couraging it is to try to scrape a bread
bowl or a soiled plate with knife that is
so stiff that it is utterly impossible to bend
it and get at the corners and curves. A
palette knife is SO pliable that you can
scrape the bottom as well as the sides and
you do not feel as though you were scratch
ing the dish all to pieces. The price is not
very high; twenty cents will buy one. How
can woman pare potatoes and other
vegetables with an old, dull knife that has
hicks all along the edge and not complaine
1t is a very simple thing to use an emery
stick, and it is really a pleasure to pare a
potato with a sharp knife.-Rural New
Yorker

Mrs. Livermore as a Reporter.

Mrs. Livermore was probably one of the
first women reporters. At the national
Republican convention which nominated
Abraham Lincoln she represented ten
papers When she took her seat at the
reporters table it was with great surprise
that she found herself the only woman
there. 1t was equally surprising TO the
chairman of the convention, who, refusing
to listen 10 any explanation. said she mast
go into the galleries with the rest OF the
women. Mrs. Livermore. however, cour~
ageously sat down and commenced t.
write, but it was not until one of the other
reporters went on the stage and explained
the matter 10 the chairman that she re
eeived formal permission to remain--Chi-

Use Crane Instead of a Brush.

A bit of old Grape is the very best thing
Tor busting ones gowns. The ordinary
brush used for the purpose is death and
destruction to silk, passementerie or any
Of the soft materials in use nowadays.
Brush every particle of dust on with the
Grape, whose corrugated surface viii make
the job an easy one, and then, if there is a
good deal of beading used in the trim
ming, lay between sheets of tissue paper,
where nothing will rub against it; for
passementerie with some of the beads miss
ing, or with the gloss gone, is the most
distressing spectacle imaginable. If q
brush must be used, get a soft camel's
hair one, and use it with a light, quick
motion as sparingly as possible.

Ink Stains on Carpets.

To remove freshly spilled ink on carpets,
first take up as much as possible of the ink
with teaspoon. Then pour cold, sweet
milk upon the spot and take up as before
pouring on milk until at last it becomes
only slightly tinged with black then wash
with cold water and absorb with a cloth
without too much rubbing.-New York

American Women Take Pains.

The Duke of Marlborough is, like Max
O'Rell, a great admirer of the American

quickness for appreciating the characters
of the men around her, and she takes in
finitely more pains, and in some respects
greater trouble all round, than the Eng
ishwoman displays"
