Extract from a dime novel of
the future:
"Then the pirate king shouted
in excited accents; What no!
my lads! Here is the site of the
buried treasure. Heave up you
bedded plate of brass and look
beneath!'
'The noble Dony Mackeral forced
back the bandits, and with one
mighty swing of his sword Glove
the brazen ring in twain. There,
carefully buried away in a jeweled
casket, lay two scuttles of coal,
full to the brim!"

Twenty-Five dollars day for

men of Chicago have compelled
the Worlds Fair directors to pay
for rigs to be used in the presiden-
tial procession on Oct. 81. Three
hundred carriages have been con-
tracted for at $22, and 200 more
are engaged at 500 each for the
the day-a total of $4,000 for

face, but it didn't bring him round.
''Then l sent after a doctor who
had his Office right across the
street, meanwhile leaving him just
as he was in the chair.
Why said the doctor, that's
my patient. Not more than an
hour ago I told him that Il
couldn't save him and he'd be
liable to die at any moment. It's
that fellow Rocks, who struck the
big lead last week and got ball
in him for trying to jump 'Fatty's'
claim. I couldn't get the ball out,
and told him So
maybe you can imagine how |
felt when l heard that had been
shaving a dead man. l was young
in the business then and had never
struck that kind of a job before.
YES says the doctor, Rocks
has been dead for the last half
hour. He must have given up the
ghost right after he got into the
chair, for he is getting stiff now
"And what do you suppose
brought that living-dead man into
my shop? He came over to get
shaved while he was alive so it
would only cost him two bits. He
knew he was going kick right off,
and the idea of his heirs paying SIS
for shave went against his grain.
And you'd believe this if you knew
old Rocks. He was the closest
and highest man in Arizona.
"No, l never got cent for that
job. I wouldn't take the two bits
the heirs offered me and they
kicked about paying the regular
fee."

Food or nm Ancient People.

Plentifully scattered through the
relic beds of Switzerland's lakes are
fragmentary remnants of its ancieut
peoples food. We learn that they
we're not cannibals, for, amid pro-
fusion OF animal bones, very few OF
the human species have been de-
tected. The deposits Of the earliest
settlements prove that the inhabit-
ants were ardent hunters, and then
largely fed on the spoils of the chase.
But in after ages, when farming occu-
pations were followed to a greater
extent, the flesh OF tanned animals was
chiefly eaten. The bones have most
ly been split open, doubtless for the
purpose of extracting the marrow
Among the animals domesticated BY
the lake jewellers were the OK, the
sheep, and the goat. Their stalls,
like their masters dwellings, were
upon the water; and quantities OF
the litter provided for them have
been found In the mud Of the lakes
Moss, which has been largely dis
covered, is thought By the Gentle
mans Magazine to have formed the
sleeping touches of the household.
Numerous wild fruits, such as apples,
pears plums, raspberries, and nuts,
were included in the diet of those
Swiss aborigines; and the detection
OF apple parings testified to acertain
nicely in their cuisine They culti-
waited the common cereals, wheat and
barley, and fiat, round cakes have
been disinterred, and also several
round stones, between which the
grain was ground.

Hints to Housekeepers.

If dish gets burned in using do
not scrape it; put little water and
ashes in it and let 1t get warm. 1t
will come off nicely.
A SUGGESTION for the disposition of
old kid gloves is that they be cut into
bits and used for stuffing the ubiqui-
tous cushion of the modern house COM
Portable.
YOU can tell il a bed is damp by
laying your hand glass between the
sheets for a few moments. If the
sheets are not properly dried the glass
will be clouded.
II is said that If the woodwork in
the kitchen is kept constantly scrub
bed with water in which potash has
been dissolved, reaches and ants will
speedily disappear.
Pour little melted paraffine over
the top TO prevent mold on top Of jelly.
This when cool will harden into a
thin, solid cake, which can be lifted
out when the jelly is used, and may
be used for the same purpose next
year.
WHEN more steak is cooked than Is
eaten, chop 1t fine and add slice OF
