HOW J 70 Pa. on q cloth..lln,.

A simple contrivance, designed to save a
great deal Of washing day work, can be put
in place very easily. Itoonsists Of little
house or shed, Is inches long, fastened
stoutly all along one side against the outer
wall OF building, or perhaps against a
fence, though one objection to the latter is
that the line when stretched and hung
with wet clothes would pull upon the fence
and perhaps cause 1t to sag in time. A
part of the other or outer side Of the little
clothesline shelter Is made in sort of door,
opening ON hinges, which lets down, dis
closing the barrel on which the olothesline
is wound. To this, at one end, crank
handle is attached with ratchet wheel.
In putting up the line, one end of which is
tied to the barrel, first unwind the line and
pass it around each pole until all il in the
position wanted. Slip the loop in the end
over the last pole, then go back to the box,
turn the crank until all the line is straight
and taut, then fasten by means Of the
racket so that it cannot unwind. This pre-
vents "sagging" effectually. When the
clothes have been taken off the line, wind
it up and shut up the side opening to pro-
teet the rope from rain, dampness and mill
dew. Brooklyn Eagle

MODERN HYGIENE.
Seemingly Wholesome Foods Now Said
to Be Dangerous.

Hardly day passes that we do not

asked to give up some favorite dish

| early memories, and, after eating of
which. we have, for twenty wears on
end, felt ourselves grow fat aud child
IKE and undyspeptic, says the Hart
ford CourdH. But the modern hygiene
says it must 90 and if we retain it on
our list we do it in an anxious and
guilty mood sure of itself to beget in

Seemingly simple things, like dry
toast, oatmeal and apples, we have

care of, and bananas, or, for example.
the delicious, but, as we supposed
deadly fried bacon, cried up as food for
babes and stockings. This is puZzlinp:
1t goes against personal experience; it
upsets all our dietary plans and pleas

plclon that mere fashion is at the bot
tom of the change.

an ak to grind, could without much

the wisest plan is to select food accord

them), and with the eye of faith fixed
on that good day when all digestion

SUCCESSFUL AS A BORROWER.

out security is a beauty" said Joe
Campbell to st. Louis Globe Demo-

did that identical thing. In fact, he
was an uncle of mine, my mothers
brother-in-law. He was German and
lived all his life in Berlin. He was a
very suave, smooth gentleman, knew
every body worth knowing, hobnobbed
with the mobiles of Emperor Williams

gagged in living.
This was his entire occupation in

he painted picture, put it on exhibit

Cincinnati.
They meant to have the best of the
modern painters do lot of work for
them. My distinguished relatives

he was invited TO Cincinnati. He came
over and for a couple of months he was

ideas for paintings and the people who
brought him over went crazy over his
plans. Finally he induced them to adj

returned to Germany to do his paint

The Milwaukee Seminal has lately
been giving little attention to the need
OF more care ID the use of the English
language. There are few papers which
than The Sentinel, as its editorial col
umns are almost "well of English I'M
detiied-" There is need, likewise, of some
steps being taken to check the corrup-
1t is spreading to written, after having
sadly marred spoken, language. Schools
can do great deal toward cultivating a
taste for correct English, not wholly by
means OF rules of syntax as the desire
must precede the application of rulee.
Awkwardness in bodily movement is
frowned upon as if it were disfguration
voluntarily assumed. With the same
sentiment adverse to barbarisms in lam
guage,the corrective would follow a. read
lily. If our schools would demand con.
clseness and clearness of expression
with the same insistence with which post
ure is demanded, Il critical habit would be
inculcated which would be fruitful of
good results. Why should the proper
fitting of the hat be deemed a sign of
culture IN young man while he may,
without losing caste, give evidence of
profound ignorance of the language he
uses? There is moral training in the
effort made to use language which is clear
and pure.
With the multiplicity of newspapers
we have now, there are many false models
set before our young people which they
are inclined to follow because not hedged
IN by difficulties. Even the use of the ex-
preston English as she is spoke"
though designed to make the title de-
scriptlve of the subject matter. is danger.
GUS because of It's expressive exemplifi-
cation.
An old teacher of this state in address,
ing the students of normal school said
Young teachers cannot afford to make
mistakes; old teachers may-but not
many" The same thing is true IN lam
gpage. A slang word or soleclsm NAV
give plquancy to narration, but its use
should be limited to those whose habits
of accuracy are fixed. A story often
loses It's point by the omission of an
oath, but 1t is better that it should than
that the oath be used.
IL is more sign of vulgarity to be ad-
dcted to language not sanctioned by
good usage than it Is to take food with a
knife, and still the former is readily over |
looked while the latter is deemed almost
lne1cusable. When incorrect language |
is treated as bad manners, a knowledoe |
or the laws of syntax will be deemed as |
indispensable as a knowledge of the ma.
chine rules of etiquette.

PEOPLE seem determined to talk about
hard times, though the occasion may in
no sense justify it. Just now we hear
Of hard times, when there never was a
time during which there was greater
prosperity throughout this county than
at present. Hard times has been preach
ed SO necessarily, some people have come
to the conclusion that they are hard up
and they proceed to hoard.
Some farmers throughout this county
have made money this year. They have
had an abundance of everything and
prices have been good. A gentleman of
this city who loans considerable money
to farmers, informs the editor of The Pilot
that the money loaners this year are the
farmers. Those who were in debt and
whose obligations have become due, re-
fuse proffered extensions for the reason
that they can secure the accommodation
from neighbors at low rate of interest.
This does not betoken the prevalence of
"hard times"
Our laborers have not suffered from
want of employment. There was more
farm help employed this year through
out the county than there was for any
preceding year. All our factories have
been running with full forces. The Mani
towoc Coal & Dock Co. has furnished
fully as much employment as it did in
any previous year. The only loss was
the withdrawal of the F. & P. NJ. boats,
and this was more than made up by in
crease in the business of our factories
and ship yard. Where then is the excuse
for the lugubrious utterance of "hard
times?

Commercial Use OF Beach Pebbles.

Bright beach pebbles that have been
rolled back and forth on the sandy
shore of Lake Michigan nobody knows
how long are used as commercial
commodity in Chicago. They event
ually lind themselves sticking in hot
tar and making the gravel palt of
gravel roofs; crushed under heavy
rollers for street pavements; and pack
ed away sol;dly as the base of made
stone sidewalks.
The most interesting operation
through which these bright-colored
bits 90 is the gathering. Men clad in
trousers rolled up 10 the knees, shirt
and straw hat wade along the beach
where the water line makes the peb-
bles show clearly. In their hands is
sort of net and hoe com bined. The
hoe part is an open iron frame with
thin shoe where the edge of the blade
would he. Stretched on this frame
and bending al an angle of 40 deg. is
stout wire net. With the shoe the
gravel is lifted from the beach and
drawn back into the net, through
which the adhered sand percolates.
Having filled a net the workman
with peculiar fling lands the load
against sieve peIched upon a wagon.
This sieve allows the pebbles OF COM
mercial size to pass through into the
wagon and rejects those too large,
which fall back pattering into the
road. 1t is common thing to see
two and three wagons at time bunch
ed along the beach in Lake View. each
attended by bare-legged man with
one of the peculiar gravel scoops in his
hands. Chicago Tribune

1T is now quite certain that the charit-
able impulse of the people of the state
will prevent any suffering from want in
Northern Wisconsin. What would be an
improper question if relief was not forth
coming, may under the circumstances
now be asked: Are these people to blame
for the restitution they are in? They re-
ceived good wages and saved nothing.
If they did not live beyond their means,
they lived fully up to them and made no
provision for the future. When hard
times came they had to rely upon charity
for what should como from their own
providence. Their distress may prove a
good lesson to these people in the way OF
teaching them that it is not always sun
shine and that it is the part OF wisdom to
always keep the lamps trimmed.

HOW BIRDS FLY.
Watch Carefully and You Can Tell Them
In Their Flight.

Can you tell what kind of bird il is
by the way it flies?
You ought to be able to do so, if YOU
love birds and intend to become we'll
acquainted with them.
A celebrated writer SAYS that good
Ornithologist should be able to know
birds by their air as we'll as bv their
colors and shape; on the ground as
we'll as on the wing. and in the bush
as well as in the hand. For, though
every kind of bird has not manner
peculiar to itself, there is certain
something about almost all of them
by which you can tell them under al
most any circumstances.
In the country you may see kites
and buzzards. They sail around in
circles, with wings spread but still.
From this habit of gliding they are
called "gleads" in the north of Emo
land.
Owls move in buoyant manner. az
it lighter than the air. Ravens when
on the wing spend much time striking
each other, and often turn on their
backs with loud croak, and seem to
be falling to the ground. In fact, thew
are scratching themselves with one
foot and have lost their center of grav-
ity. Crows and DAVIS swageer in
their walk. Woodpeckers fly opening
and closing their wings. and so are
always rising or falling in curves.
When they run up trees they use their
tails, which incline downward, as q
sort Of support. Most of the small
birds fly by jerks, rising and falling as
they advance, and most of these hop;
but wagtails and larks walk. Sky-
larks rise and fall perpendicularly as
they sing. WOODLANDS hang poised in
the air, and titlarks rise and fall in
arge curves, singing as they come
b,wn.
