Ammonia k very valuable, and nohouSe- keeper should be without it. It should be kept in glass bottle tightly corked, other wise it will cvaporatr, and the strength h will be lost.
 Grease spots can be removed from al- most any fabric by sponging them with ammonia in little water When dish towels have become soiled and discolored, boiling them in studs to which little am monia has been added will do much to re store them to their natural state Am monia in the water used for washing wood work iS better than soap, a~ it louscuS all dirt and does not injure the hands.

Frogs Eat Mnsps.

Some time ago discovered accidental ly that frogs are voraCiuus eaters of waspS. have in my garden tank for watering, with an island of rockwork. which Is a favurite haunt of the frogs. The waspS just now are carrying on a raid against my fruit, and when I wish to gratify at once my revenge and my frogs l catch a maraudcr between a post card and an inverted wine glass. carry him off to the tank, wet his wings to pre- vent his flying, and set him on tho rock work before the frogs.
 After a moments pause frog ad- vances. and in an instant the wasp has disappeared. drawn into the frogs mouth by single dart of his long tongue. Oc- casionally the wasp rcappears, wholly or partially, having made it unpleasant for the frog, but i" Is almost always swal- lowed in the ed. Usually convulsive movements m. be noticed in the frog's throat and bud,, as though the process of deglutition were not quite easy, but that they like the diet is evident from the fact that single smallish frog has been known to take three waspS, one aft CT another.
 Indeed it is remarkable what very small frogs quite infants. will swallow n wasp with avidity. This afternoon a tiny frog swallowed full grown wasp. when big relative went for him quite savagely, like big sChoolboy thrashing a small one for prcsuming to be helped before him.-R F. Bartlett in London Spectator

daily life Is divided between the editorial room and his home at Metuchen, N. J.. and he Is seldom seen at the gatherings of literary people in the metropolis. His home life and his books are more attract i've to him and may be of greater serv- ice to his readers, for who can tell how largely responsible his firesidc habits are for that indescribablc feeling of restful- ness that old readers of Harper's feel when they get a new number in their hands:
 MT. Alden has been connected with the Harpers since 1863. when he succeed ed Richard Grant White as editor of Harper's Weekly. That position he re- tained for six years, and since then he has been ill charge of The Monthly Mag azine, devoting his entire time to his work and never Obtruding himself or his name upon public notice. His work Is entirely impersonal, and even the book which the Harpers published for him in 1890. God In His World" was anony- nous. IT IS a singularly winning work. bringing comfort to many anxious hearts. and quite in line with the early predilec- i lions Of its author, who in his college days :s said to have contemplated writ :2E < history of philosophy.
 Mount Tabor, Vt, was MT. Alden $ birthplace and Nov. II. 1886, his birth day. John Alden of Mayfiower fame was his ancestor, and the first president of Amherst college was an uncle of his mother. He was educated for the min istry. graduating at Williams college in | 1857 and going at once to the theological seminary at Andover. While there he wrote two essays-"The Eleusinian Mys- teries" and The Saviors of Greece which James Russell Lowell printed in | The Atlantic, of which he was then ed itor. In the winter of lS634 Mir. Alden delivered series of lectures on "The History of PaganiSm" before the Lowell institute of Boston. He was forced to abandon his ministerial career because his voice was not of a caliber to meet its requirements. How much literature was the gainer thereby let coming genera ton estimate.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
Something Peculiar To Say The
 Least.
An Event Which Has Puzzled the Doctors
 Not a Little.
The Occurrence Has Created Great
 Deal of Comment.

The following remarkable account we have from the mans own lips.
 Mir Amos k. Darter Is well known in Indianapolis, Ind, living in 225 West Chesapeake street. He says:
 Ten years ago n pain came ir my left foot and went all over me. l had such severe pain in my head that l could not get no rest day or night. I colled n doctor; he said had rheumatism, but he could not relieve me.
 Then went to talking patent medi- zines. and bought everything l would see advertised for rheumatism but all failed to give me any relief. Then I called in the doctors; had good ones treat me, but all failed to relieve me. I was taken down and suffered intense pain. My flesh got so sore that could not bear my clothes to touch me. My left side got numb from my foot to my head. I would feel a ting ling in my side; in second would fall prostratcd.
 II could not sleep night or day only when under tho influence of morphine. l could not walk one square without resting. I would have to set my cane out first and step with my right foot and then drag the the left foot up.

 How sweet to walk al even, When softencd dyes from sunset skies Steal up the sapphire heaven. Along the reach of rocky beach

 And all life's stormy weather, Since by the bay of Monterey

cardlnal Newman,s Gentleman.

Cardinal Newman's Gentleman.
 Cardinal Newman somewhere in his writings depicts his ideal of a gentle man. He says iR the beginning that cit is almost definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never infiicts pain" This is the negative side of the definition. The positive side of it is that the gentleman actively engages himself in removing obstacles to the well being and convenience of those about him. He Is as comfortable to have around as a good fire when the thermometer is at zero. He is careful to leave people to do as they please in a free and unrestrained way, never interfering with or embar- rassing them. It would indeed be a gentleman who was large minded enough for this. So willing is Cardinal New mans gentleman to have others enjoy themselves in their own way that he is constantly engaged in removing the ob- stacles that would hinder this.
 He has his eyes on all his company. He is tender toward the bashful, gentle toward the distant and merciful toward the absurd" In his conversation the gentleman will remember to whom he is speaking, have thought for all the company and avoid allusions that world give pain to any of them, steering away also from topics that irritate. When he does n favor to another-and he does many-the gentleman will somehow make it appear that he is receiving the
 benefit instead of conferring it.
 He is never mean or little in his dis putes." Moreover, he shows that he has an intellect far above the average in
 the fact that he never mistakes person alities and sharp sayings for arguments. Most of mankind do. When grief, ill.,
 ness and losses come to him, he submits to pain because it is inevitable" Be reavement he takes with heroic philoso- ! phy because it is irreparable. He goes to death without n murmur because it ! is destiny.
 | As if all this were not hard enough in i order to be gentleman, the cardinal | attaches other requisites yet harder. This 1 ideal individual never talks about him self at all, except when he is compelled | to. and never imputes unworthy motives | to another. One qualification of the 1 Newman gentleman might well be tackled upon the walls of mems clubhouses, He l has no ears for gossip or slander."

GEORGE R TYLER. great city hCli- day of London. and those who lose sight of the significance of the ceremonials are apt to vote it useless nuisance.
 The new lord mayor is really induCted into office on the Sth of November, though the 9th is Lord Mayors day. On the Sth at the Guildhall, he is presented very ceremoniously with the city's sCep- ter, seal, l>lrse, sword, mace and keys, and the retiSing mayor formally resigns to him the civic chair. Everybody en- gagged in the ceremonies is attired in brilliant hued robes of office, and the ceremonies include much reverential lowing and ironclad formality, but these things have their uses.
 On the morning of Nov. 0 the new lord mayor begins to exercise his func- tions, formally taking possession of his 1ffice at the Guildhall. Then follows what is called the lord mayors show. This is the gorgeous procession from the Guildhall to the law courts within the precincts of Westminster. Before his coach run many footmen in livery, and there is long line of carriages bearing the aldermen and other city officials, the heads of the several guilds and the main Douy oI tne new mayor own Sullu' III their best and gaudiest official gowns, accompanied by their beadles and their banners and by floats illustrative of his torical events or industrial processes, they make q brave show indeed, though it sometimes has n tawdy and theatric effect.
 At the law courts tine lord mayor is presented to the lord chief justice of England and takes the oath of fidelity to the sovereign. Then he calls on the judges of the high court of justice and invites them to dinner. after which he goes back to the city, takes possession of his official residence, the Mansion House, and for a year within the city is the greatest of all the queens subjects, giv- ing precedence only to her majesty her

Their harangucs and tiradcs have been accepted by the majority and the president of the senate as debate. although they had without any effort at conceal mrut. no other purpose than to delay or prevent the accomplishment of legislation ot the most vital importance to the country. How long the peterborough .natorS will obstruct the path to the most essential legislation is not known. but the indignation and disgust of the country with the existing condition of affairs in the senate are growing so strong as to sug- gcst to senators that they cannot much longer disregard public dissatisfaction so universal and so earnest.

The Fair Is Getting Out of Deb,

hN "Ah AS N"N SA Dtbhs
 If the Worlds fair is not d success, Chicago will be bankrupt" was the gloomy reflection at the beginning of June of many of the business men of that city who had put money into the enter prise, and good deal of it. The chances seemed slim enough even up to the end of August At that date the exposition board owed $l ,455, ,215, not counting the bonded indebtedness. When those who were behind the scenes counted up assets and liabilities, they discovered that the liabilities exceeded the other column by $311 ,s41. Had Chicago citizens, after all, overrated their ability to run q worlds fair and swamped themselves:
 Nobody could answer the question in the negative then. But by the begin ming of September the people who all ways put off everything to the last mo- ment and that includes most of the human race, began to wake up. Those who have been most bent on seeing the fair. with all its rich educating oppor- tunities, have been the farm population of the country. There is no class per haps, take them altogether, that will be more benefited by it. By the begin ming of September harvest was over, and the money for the summer crops had begun to come in.
 Then it was that the farm people ral- lied and marched to the White City in force. So greatly did the attendance mount up that by the middle of Septem- Der in round numbers a million dollars of the indebtedness had been wiped out, and the directors saw their way clear to getting back all the S24 .OOO, ,OOO that the ! fair had cost. And it is the brave farm people who have done very large share toward this happy result.
