A Box of Borax Is Invaluable.

The box OF borax should be as much in
place in every household as the salt box or
the jar of selye for burns 1t is one of the
best agents for softening water for domes-
tic use. There is no greater comfort for
any one on i tour travelling in a limestone
district, than a small box or packet of
borax-for by its use the effects of hard
water on the skin are quite neutraGzed.
1t may be used either as a substitute for
or in conjucction with soap, the proportion
being a handful Of borax to nine or ten
gallons of water, and it has the advantage
over soda in not spelling colOred clothes.
In the laundry borax is used for washing
lace and fine things, and in the making
OF cold starch and for giving an additional
glaze to collars, fronts, cuffs and starched
fabrics generally. 1t is also one of the best
means of rend ering fabrics fireproof and is
far superior in this way to alum.
AS an insecticide it is invaluable; cock
reaches will not haunt a kitchen where
borax is scattered on the floor, and it is
harmless to domestic pets. Scientists say
that very small proportion Il in 1000 is
enough to rctard the souring of milk for
twenty-four hours, and that this amount is
not injurious to health Mixed with glyc-
erin it forms one OF the most generally
used applications in throat affections; in
cases where glycerin is disliked honey may
be substituted. Lastly, borax is in itself a
valuable disinfectant and antiseptic, and is
a component part in many dental prepare
tions.-New York Press.

Hook and Ladder Companies.

Hook and ladder companies are essen.
tally life saving in their duties. To each
fire battalion in New York there are gen.
orally assigned two hook and ladder COM
panies. There are thirty-six to forty hook
and ladder machines, though they may not
be all in service at one time, some being
under repair. To hook and ladder com
pany there is given an average of twelve
men, and in particular cases there have
been as many as eighteen. These men rep
resent the pick of the service as to phys
ique. All of them have passed through
the school Of instruction and have been
specially trained for their duties. 1t is not
GOODNESS alone that is requisite, but that
perfect reliance which comes from well
trained muscles.

to the ladders, which, with their extern
sions, are ninety feet long, number Of
hooks, with axes, crow bars, ropes, life saw

count Of the extreme length of the ladders,
the apparatus is extended, and there is a

which enables the truck to turn sharp cor

All Around Exercise.

Indifferent people are apt to say that il a
woman attends TO her sweeping, busting
and household chores she has exercise
enough, and If the man chops his wood or
works his garden after business hours he,
too, has his exercise. These notions are
harmful.
Household work is the most injurious Of
all exercise Unless counterbalanced by ed1-
cational exercise. Household exercise
brings the arms constantly to the front
and bends The head forward, and thus the
muscles in the back become weakened and
the shoulders displaced In addition there
is the dust and impurities constantly in
hailed during the sweeping
Chopping wood can bring no benefit IN
less counterbalanced by action on other
muscles Physical culture means the per-
feet development OF all muscles. No one
should exercise haphazard. Each individ-
ual should go before competent examiner
and have prescription made for the weak
muscles. Ia gymnasiums the temptation
is always to exercise the hardy muscles be-
cause Of the natural inclination. This is
wrong.
Hardy muscles are the ones to be rested,
the weak ones developed. Horizontal bars
should be excluded from the gymnasium.
They are exercise for the very muscles Of
the arms that are constantly in action

The Parrot and His Food.

Parrots and toucans have no knives and
forks to cut off the rinds of tropical fruits:
but as monkeys use their fingers, so the
birds use for the same purpose their sharp
and powerful bills. No better nut crackers
and fruit parers could possibly be found.
The parrot in particular has developed for
the purpose his curved and inflated beak-
q wonderful weapon, keen as tailor
scissors and moved by powerful muscles on
either side ot The face which bring together
the cutting edges with extraordinary
energy.
The way the bird holds fruit gingerly
IN one claw. while he strips off the rind
dexterously with his UNDERLYING lower
mandible, and keeps sharp lookout
meanwhile on either side with those sly
and stealthy eyes of his for possible in
truder, suggests to the observing mind the
whole living drama of his native forest.
One sees in that vivid world the watchful
monkey ever ready to swoop down upon
the tempting tail feathers of his hereditary
foe; one sees the canny parrot ever pre-
pared for his rapid attack, and ever eager
to make him pay with five joints of his
tail for his impairment interference with
an unofending fellow citizen of the ar
boreal ommunity.-Cornhill Magazine.

MIX hr tn. Eabv.


at seems to me " said middle aged
woman, as she laid down a popular maya
zine, lit seems to me that this is the age
of exploded theories. One by one the old
time ideas are having the props knocked
out from under them and they 20 tun-
bling about our ears. Just how it is that
we and our children have happened to live
SO long is one of the problems with which
am at present struggling. Every old lady
or medical book or doctor or tradition that
/ ever came IL contact with that gave any
expression on the subject at all has liz
sisted that, whatever else you do, you
must give the baby the milk of only one
cow
NO matter how much time or trouble
or expense he involved, that one cow 5
milk must be had. We bought il in bot
ties, sent many miles under seal, have
pledged the milkman on his sacred honor.
and finally went and bought the cow our
selves for the sake of bringing up our
babies on the one-cow' s-milk diet: and
now, with the gray dust OF tradition lying
thickly over cur work, we are confronted
by the statement that one cows milk Is
not only not specially necessary, but abso-
lutely injurious: that you can take the
milk from forty COWS and shake it up and
mix it as thoroughly rs you please, and
the more it's mixed and stirred and shaken
the be- ter it Is for the baby.
Now, should like TO know what we
are coming IL. If we have been going
wrong all these days on that subject, what
assurance have we that we haven't been
going wrong on everything else? It's one
of the most curious things in life how all
of our theories come to naught after we
have cherished them and ordered our lives
by them There seems to be so little sta
bility in some of these things that it is sort
OF discouraging. New York Ledger.

DificuIty with Field Guns.

High velocity in field guns is gained not
only at the expense of the carriage, but of
the projectile. The violent forces in the
bore break up projectiles formed of the or
binary cast iron, and steel has to be en-
ployed for shells, material not only more
costly but less well adapted to the purpose
for which it is intended. Cast iron breaks
up readily into small pieces and allows the
force of the bursting charge to have full
effect, while "a steel shell is strong enough
to resist the explosion inside it too effectu-
ally, IS only partially opened, and does not
fly into spGnters,
Other difficulties also arise in connection
with fuses, and these have in fact proved
SO insuperable that the great powers of
the l2-pounder cannot be fully util-
ized-as regards shrapnel, at any rate
because a time fuse cannot be made to act
at anything except ordinary ranges.-Lon-
don Saturday Review.

river The house where General Grant es-
tablished his headquarters is standing and
occupied At that time it was owned and
occupied by an old woman who in spite of
the contentling rivals, attended to her
household duties. Very much surprised
at her apparent unconcern, General Grant
told her that she was taking great risks, as
her house would necessarily be under an
extremely severe fire in case of an engage

How Kate Field Looks.

While it is true that Miss Kate Field il
located in Washington permanently, it is
also true that she skips about the country
20 often that she may he said to be resi-
dent of either San Francisco, Chicago or
New York. Few women have been as
privileged to enjoy the friendships of as
many famous men and women. She is one
who impresses the forcefulness Of her own
personality on every one with whom she
speaks. She has a clear, incisive voice, a
charmingly frank manner and an inter
rogation point constantly at her tongues
end II she does not like a person she
makes him understand it without giving
offense. If some statement is made in her
presence that she does not indorse she has
no hesitancy in making known her own
position. Yet she does this in such quiet,
unobtrusive way that no one can find fault
with her.
In addition 20 being a clever and forcible
writer, she is also patient student Of the
drama. She appeared on the stage once in
New York as Peg Wellington. / believe
she was not success, but she continues to
study dramatic works. and she is consid-
cred one Of the ablest writers ON the drama
in this country. One thing greatly in her
favor in her newspaper work is that she
knows what she is writing about. She has
travelled ali over America and Europe
many times, and she is on friendly terms
with the great public men of both CONT
nents.
In appearance Miss Field is short Of
stature, bat as straight as an Indian Her
head is well poised. Her face is one that
beams with intelligence. She has firm
mouth, and eyes that seem TO penetrate the
very hearts of those about her. Her hair,
a trifie gray. falls gracefully over her fore
head in slight bang. She is one of the
best women speakers have ever listened
to.-Foster Coates il New York Mail and

Deep whelmed amid their grassy waves,
The pleasant steads where men were born
And died in sight OF ancient graves.
But now the sturdy graudsoas start
From neares port, meath favoring gale,
And fast are growing gray and swart
In treasure laden tropic vale;
Or they who trod the winding lane
Athwart soue city's shadows haste,
Where hands that bound the ripened grain
Have lesser gold within them placed.
The old house waits; TO violets wake
The snowy fields when south winds stir;
The roads are bright with rose and brake;
And harvest rounds the calendar.
Some noontide of the waning year

And sees returning. bent and blear.
