Inc Lispins Lieutenant Finally Gets De.

hgood story is told by an English pa
per OF lisping officer having been vic

noted for his cool deliberation and
strong nerves., and his getting square
with him in the following manner.
The cool joker, tho captain, was al.

one day in the presence of his company:

fire was burning on the hearth, placed
In It's hottest center powder canister

There was but one mode of egress
from the quarters, and that was upon
the parade ground, the road being built
up for defense. The occupant took one
look at the canister, comprehended the
situation, and In "a moment dashed at
the door, but 1t was fastened on the
outside.

''Thpit on the canister" shouted he
in return.
Not a moment was to be lost. He
had at first snatched up blanket to
cover his egress, but now, dropping IT,,
he raised the window, and out he
bounded, sans every thing but very
shott undergarment. and thus, with
hair almost on end, he dashed upon n

Parrots are very particular about
their food. An old lady once told me
that the servant whose place 1t was to
supply her bird with oatmeal porridge
for it's breakfast neglected to do so one
morning. Accordingly the mistress
put in it's cup some soaked bread. The
parrot looked at it for some time,
tasted it once or twice. sat and appar-
emily considered the matter; and then,
dashing his bill in, he threw it all out,
first on one side and then on the other,
saying between each spattered mouth
full: NASTY mess, nasty mess" An
other parrot that had been taught to
whistle in the way which generally
attracts the notice of dogs was sitting
in his cage one day at the shop door,
whistling with all his might BY
chance large dog passed by. The
animal, imagining that he heard the
call of his master, turned suddenly
about and ran toward the cage OF the
parrot. This movement rather alarmed
the bird, which instantly screamed out:
"Get out, you brute, get out" causing
the astonished dog to hastily retreat,
leaving those In the shop convulsed
with laughter at the joke.-Detroit

FOR TIE NURSERY.
Splendid Idea for Use In Case of Chiidi
Illness or Accident.

Splendid Idea for Use In Case of Childish
Illness or Accident.
Did you ever hear tell of a nursery
card? 1t is an Englishwoman's idea
and il Is a capital one. 1t should be in
every house where there are children.
Listen to this: II is card about three
feet long and two wide, printed like a
wall map, intended to hang in the nur-
sery, of course. At the top OF the
card is blank space in which
is to be written the name and address
of the nearest doctor or the one you
would wish to have called in case of
accident. Then follows a list OF acci-
dents most common with children and
the remedies TO be applied-bruises and
sprains, bites, broken limbs, burns,
fits, commissions, fainting, nose bleed
ing, scalds, stings, falls, poisons, sub
stances in the eyes, ears, nose, swal-
lowing coins, buttons, etc. Accompan-
ing this card which is headed: What
to DO and How to DO 1t, is small
box containing the remedies, some
court plaster, absorbent cotton and
lint,
That idea speaks for itself Servants
are apt to be ignorant and easily panic
stricken, and when the mother is at
home she is likely to be so frightened
that her wits desert her and she is
helpless. Then the nursery card comes
into play and its usefulness is proved.

Nothing save flowers lends so much
charm to wcll-appointed table as
tastcfnlly chosen decanters and glasses.
There is a fashion in this as in all 9TH
er matters. In regard to colorng the
prevailing taste is certainly not in this
direction. Even for hooks white is
often used, and citron and pale green
have talsen the place of the old ruby
and deep green.
The revolution in the shape OF cham
payne glasses has apparently proved a
welcome ono, for the wide, low glass is
rarely found among the newer pat.
terms, and has been almost universally
replaced by the old, tall, narrow shape
familiar to ones childhood. These look
more graceful and are easier to lift
than the others

fashion. This is welcome innovation.

There are many ways of cleaning

leave atoms of lead adhering to the
glass, but common salt, tea leaves, and,
above all, ammonia, are excellent for
cleansing purposes. All bottles should
be well shaken after being nearly filed
with ammonia, or other material, and
left TO stand for time. After more
shaking, rinse again, till the water re-
mains quite clear and set the dccanter
upside down on a rack to drain; the

new one of these last is dolphin which

for those who prefer a departure from

choice, and silver ribbon and silver silk

little weekly called Her FS0Uer, has
been fined $40 by a federal Judge for
criticising Postmaster General Wanna
maker.
In the last campaign, Miss Atkinson
supported Cleveland, and assailed
Wanamalaer for his management Of the

contained the following paragraphs:
..Who killed old Wanamakerpn Her
Little F1oscer.''
who did old HazenP" Her Little

"Who killed LeschP" Her Little

Lesch is the local postmaster. Some
time ago, he advised the editor Of Her
FloWer to go slow, and when the OBJ
jectionable paragraphs appeared he
charged Miss Atkinson with using the
mails to defame the head Of the depart
ment. The young lady was arrested,
carried to Indianapolis and fined as
stated.
Now, this small and contemptible
