AROUND THE HOUSE

Beat carpets on the wrong side first.
Rub whitewash spots with strong
vinegar.
Rub your hands with salt and lemon
Juice to remove stains.
Rub soft grease over tar and then wash
in warm soda water.
The tiny red ant is one of the worst OF
all household pests, and its determination
is exceedingly difficult if not impossible.
Pouring kerosene oil into the cracks
which they infest will drive them away
for awhile, but they will soon return.
They may be kept out of sugar buckets
by making q broad chalk mark around
them about half way up. The insects
cannot crawl over the chalk. 1t is good
thing to put saucer of grease by the
place where they seem to come from.
They will swarm to it, and the grease
will hold them, When the saucer II
well covered scrape the contents into the
fire. Those ants at least will not return
to make trouble. This operation, re-
peated every day, will lessen the amount
of the plaques, although even this will
not exterminate them.

They stood transfxed, then one held
out his hand to the other.
-Jim," he said, I've never stopped
looking for you since the war.
The other man never spoke, but kept
looking him steadily in the eye.
Jim, again commenced the one who
had spoken, "the war has kept us long
enough apart; let US be friends again
brothers once more.
A crowd had gathered, attracted by
the scene, and one of the bystanders
who knew the speaker said:
What's the matter, Leonard? Is
that the brother you have been tellin'
about"
Leonard nodded.
And he won't make up with you
now"
No; / suppose he can't forget, and
Leonard looked sadly at his brother,
who was turning to leave him.
Hold on. stranger, called the by
stander, and the departing man turned
around. Il want to give you a pointer.
continued he; this brother of yours has
been my friend since the war, and if he
did fight on the rebel side, that's moth
ing against him now; come with me a
minute" and taking his arm, he led him
back to the graves and showed him the
name on one OF them.
There, he said. your brother could
forgive him, and every year he comes
here and puts flowers on his grave, and
yet that man, when your brother tried
to escape when he was taken prisoner,
fired the shot that cost him his leg; he
acted up to his convictions and so did
your brother. Now what are yours
can you go away without making
friends?
Remember, he added with a smile.
there isn't as much of him to forgive
as when he made the mistake of TAX
ing the wrong side, and rel ember,
too" he added, taking off his hat,
what's left mayn't be here to forgive
when you make up your mind you want
to-"
There was a moments pause, and
then cheer went up as the brothers
turned away together.

The Champion Sportsman.

Delhi has been visited occasionally by
famous sportsmen, but not one of them
has as yet made such good bag as the
native shikari Moestafar. The day be-
fore yesterday he met female elephant
with a young one. He shot the mother
and then caught the calf elephant and
tried to fasten it to tree. Whilst do
ing this it commenced to trumpet so
loudly that two large elephants appeared
on the scene, coming to the rescue.
Moestafar, however, would not let go his
prey, and after shooting both elephants
proceeded to Loeboeg Pakam, with the
young one, where it is at present. The
following morning he went back to see
the dead bodies and had the good luck
to find two tigers on the spot, both of
which he shot. Within two days he
therefore managed to kill three elephants
and two tigers. This man has alto
gether shot six tigers within short
period. This happened near the thirty
second mile stone on the road to Per
baaengan. 49, Delhi india Courant.

Aigrettes as Ornaments.

The aigrettc is tuft of graceful thin
feathers taken from a kind of heron
called egret; and not only are these poor
birds killed expressly to furnish orna-
ments for ladies' bonnets and hair, but
they are killed at the time when they
ought especially to be protected
namely, during the breeding season.
They build their nests close together,
and the feather-hunters look for these
breeding places The best time to at
tack them is when the young birds are
fully fledged but not yet able to fly; for
at that time the solicitude of the parent
birds is greatest, and, forgetful of their
own danger, they are most readily made
victims. They hover in a crowd over
the heads Of their despoilers, their bold
ness making II as easy as possible to
shoot them down; and when the
slaughter is finished and the few hand
fuls Of coveted feathers plucked out, the
poor birds are left in a heap TO tester in
the sun in sight of their orphaned young,
that cry for food and are not fed I Ami

Canplior.

The camphor tree, according to the
United States consular report from
Osaka, Japan, is tree of the laurel
family growing in southern Japan, the
wood of which is valuable in ship-build-
ing. 1t grows in mountainous regions
far from the sea. 1t is a well-propor-
toned, handsome evergreen, its elEptical,
slightly dentate leaf turning a lighter
color for one or two months in the
spring The berries grow in punches.
The tree is cut down for the collection
of the camphor, but the law requires
that it be replaced by another. 1t is
then cut up into chips and steamed. The
camphor and oil extracted by the steam
ing are passed through a connecting
tube into a second receiver, and thence
to third, which is divided into two
compartments, one above the other
These compartments are separated by a
perforated partition, which gives passage
to the water and the oil, while the cam
phor is deposited on layer of straw
provided for it. 1t is then separated
from the straw and prepared for sale.
The oil which is drawn out from the
lower compartment is used for illumi-

A Great French Prison.

"Mazas Prison, in which the French
Panamaters are incarcerated, said Z.
G. Fouse of Philadelphia, ''is one of the
meanest and dreariest on the face of the
earth. Each cell is about eleven feet
long by 81 wide and less than nine high,
and the only light is admitted through a
small pane of roughed glass. The prison
is GOLD, and prisoner needs to wear an
overcoat there all the time at this season.
''It was of u cell in Mazas that Victor
Hugo, who was one of the first to enjoy
the hospitality of this prison, said that
ones first impression is the. darkness,
ones second the cold Each cell is
fitted with a small table, stool which
is chained to the wall, hammock bed
and small quantity of tin-plate uten-
sils.
"The hours in force at Mazas are as
follows: At O'clock the bell rings for
prisoners to rise. Half an hour later a
warder opens the cell door, by which
time the prisoner must have swept his
cell, folded up his hammock and be
ready for inspection. The warder hands
him his loaf Of bread and fills his jug
with his daily allowance of water. AT
o'clock his first meal of vegetable soup
is served, meat soup being only allowed
on Sundays and holidays.
cat 3 o'clock the second and last meal
of the day is served to the prisoners
1t consists ola gamelle of beans or lentils,
meat being given only twice week
At 8 o'clock the bell warns prisoners to
get their cells ready for the night, and
at 10 o'clock all lights are put out.
Each prisoner is allowed to exercise
himself for three quarters of an hour
every day in a small yard or passage
which lies between high walls with iron
grating at either end. During his exer-
else he is under the constant surveillance
of a warder, and can neither see nor
communicate with any other being. The
rest of the time he spends in his cell,
where he may work for the prison con-
tractors or for his own amusement, as he
| chooses.
"By working all day at stitching copy
books together, making slippers OF
brushes, he is able to earn about -four
pence, which he can spend with the
cantiniere for vim ordinaire, coffee, gar.
lie or tobacco. Prisoners who can afford
may order meals from restaurant, but
these are limited in quantity to one plate
of SOUP a plate of meat and vegetables
and one dessert. y st. Louis Globe

To Major Sullivan, brave and true.
Then "boOts and saddlesn his bugler blew,
And at the cali each soldier woke,

Past the grand guard. near Charlestown.
Where the rebels hung Osawatomie Brown.
And then toward the river the troopers

Where the silver fog of the morning showed
The Blue Ridge rim that sheltered the gray,
And made for guerrillas an easy prey;
Soldiers in blue who on picket stood.
Down by the copses Of willow wood.
The sabers click and the horse hoofs pound.
