-Englishmen were much puzzled to
find in Scotts journal the expression

pies SWIM" and there was a grave dis
cussion of its significance in a famous
literary weekly, until finally an army
officer came to the rescue with the
fable from which the phrase is. taken.
Then came two letters from New York
saying that the writer's had known the
fable from boyheod and marvelinq
that it should be unknown to any civil

A Story of Julia Ward Howe.

always had liking for old ladies, and
now when l think of the people whom
have met, and who have made any impress
sion on me, / find my thoughts run as ever
toward the pleasant old ladies. / made a
new acquaintance this summer in the
widow of a former prominent newspaper
man Of Boston. She is now about seventy
years old, but one of those entertaining old
ladies, full of incidents worth relating
and "reminiscences of distinguished people
whom she has known and been associated
with.
One of these little incidents especially is
worth relating. In the early days when
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was becoming
known as public speaker she met with
some opposition both among her friends
and the people generally. Walking down
Charles street one day with friend, Mrs.
Howe noticed the sign over the Charitable
Eye and Ear Infrmary and read it over
slowly. Charitable Eye and Ear Can
it be that there is charitable ear in Bos
ton?''-Boston Cor. Springfield Union.

Saving tho CoStIv Linaa,

Sort your linen, reserving the finest for
state occasions, for with good care these
will last as long as you live and you need
never be caught without a tables crown
ing glory, a soft, fine cloth. Il you think
this needless advice, go to any Of our best
linen stores and you will find that good
linen, like diamonds, is never cheap, but
You will find at moderate cost linen tina,
will be nice enough for ordinary use, and
you can replenish this without financial
struggle.
II your eyes are good and your patience
unlimited three letters on each pillowcase
Just above the hem, are considered the
proper thing. You can hernstitch your
linen sheets and pillowcases and if you dc
not wish all your bedspreads snowy white
you can embroider one of Bolton sheeting
The prettiest have seen was embroidered
in two shades Of blue in a conventional
design.
II your friends have not remembered you
generously in the way of tray cloth lay in
good supply. Accidents will happen, and
while ! never counsel hiding soiled places
still it is oftentimes better to cover them
than to send an otherwise clean cloth Il
the laundry, and if you are to keep but one
servant every cloth counts, for a well
ironed one takes a great deal of time. A
cloth should always be in front of the one
who carves.-H. p. Hicks in Housewife.

If We Could Choose Our Own Names

A good deal of difficulty might be spared
us If we were permitted to choose for our
selves the names we are to bear through
life. AS it is we must take up with the
notions Of taste and propriety possessed 10y
other people, and have no more to say
about the matter than about the shape Of
our noses or the color OF "our eyes. This
Is giving altogether too much authority to
the generation ahead OF us, for it ms lis
full measure of influence over US without
this added privilege. 1t transmits to us
the individual curves of its eyebrows, the
special tints OF it's hair and it's own grace
or ungainliness. In good many instances
we would change these things if we could.
The blond damse. would suddenly be-
come brunette and G.ore permanently
than through the 'H.'dium of dyes and To-
tions. The da'i haired youth, on the
other hand, might change his midnight
locks for the Scottish type Of yellow and a
CLINT Of red. Br' uufc.tuna ely or other
wise we must reiuai. wish The print of an

A French seaeme for House uea,,n,

The teachings of NJ. Trelat. the practical
experiments of NJ. Somesco, suggest that
the natural porosity of our walls, especially
the outer walls, should not be destroyed.
These walls should be decorated, not with
paper and paint, but with porous, non
conducting substances, such as wooden
drapery. The outer walls on the side
nearest to the inner surface should be
followed throughout, thus constituting a
double wall. with a space of about four
inches between the two walls
heating continuance of whatever de-
scription may be found most expedient or
economical should be placed in the base
ment of the house. A warm air chamber
or shaft travelling round the base of the
outer walls should supply to the hollow in
the walls air taken from the outside and
warmed at the point of admission into the
wall to a temperature of from 100 dogs. to
100 dogs. Fair. This should maintain the
temperature of the inner wall at from so
dogs. to 80 dogs. Fair. Then the walls
will radiate sufficient heat through the
rooms to enable the inhabitants to con-
stantly open the doors and windows, and
to breathe cold, fresh, outer air without
Inconvenience
As rule fires will be unnecessa--
dampness will be completely banished from
the house and to maintain some moisture
in the air it would be eXpedient to decorate
the house with numerous evergreen plants.
The inhabitants should then be able to
benefit by unlimited ventilation, and could
breathe pure, cold and fresh air coming
upon them directly from the outside

The Cost Of Pocahontas Coal and the
Census RcpOrt

| note the abstract which you gave
of the Census Report of the cost of coal
and coke in the Pocahontas field of
Virginia. and quite agree with you
that the figures given are not correct.
| have very accurate knowledge of
the cost of coal mining IN that and
other districts IN the Eastern States,
and from this special and general
knowledge ! am satisfied that the
census report Of the cost of Pocahontas
coal is wholly unreliable and is based
on statements which the company, of
course, knew perfectly well were not
true. The figures, in other words. are
''doctored' in order to deceive miners
as well as consumers and the stock
holders Of the companies. Asa matter
of fact, the PocahOntaS company paws
the miner 10 cents per car, which holds
nearer three tons, than two tons, which
1t is stated in that report to contain.
The miner Is fully aware of this fact.
The actual mining price is about 80
cents per ton; and the dead work can
not exceed ID cents, for they have the
cheapest possible conditions for work
ing. With 10 cents royalty. the actual
otaI cost does not exceed 80 cents.
without credit from rents. store, etc.
which would reduce this figure very
considerably this as against -! cents,
which is the census figure.
1t is much to be regretted that the
census returns should be so erroneous
where they have had every opportunity
for obtaining correct figures. An
error of 33b per rent. in the cost of pro-
ducing coal is a rather bad result, and
it is no wonder that the census work is
disrredited when such errors are found
in it.-"N." Engineering and Mining

To Prevent Cholera.

Sir Edwin Arnold says cholera is "a
disease Of dirt and cowardice. 1t is
not thing for a healthy person to
fear. "Drink," he says, mo milk or
water that has not been boiled, scald
your vegetables and take five drops of
hydro chloric acid in half a cup of
hot tea and you can walk unharmed
in the midst Of cholera" Cold
weather, he asserts, will check the
disease. Sir Edwin's experience in
India, the home Of cholera. enables
him to be more cheerful about it than
Americans know how to be.
