Carpets may be greatly frightened by

a large basin of water.
If the feet are tender or painful after

The Age of Coal Burning.

have heard that when King Hudson,
in the zenith of his fame, was asked as to
what his railways were to do when all the
coal was burned out, he replied, that by
that time we should have learned how to
burn water. Those who are asked the
same question now will often reply that
they will use electricity, and doubtless think
that they have thus disposed of the ques-
ton. The fallaey of such answers is OBJ
vious
A so-called ''water gas may no doubt
be used for developing heat, but it is not
the water which supplies the energy.
Trains may be run by electricity, but all
that the electricity does is to convey the
energy from the point where it is gener-
ated to the train which is in motion.
Electricity is itself no more source of
power than is the rope with which horse
drags boat along the canal.
The fact is that very large part of the
boosted advance of civilization is merely
the acquisition of an increased capability
of squandering. For what are we doing
every day but devising fresh appliances to
exhaust with ever greater rapidity, the

A Cold Winter Promised.

Loren Cushman, an aged farmer of Ply
mouth, Chenango county, N. Y, has quite a
reputation as a reliable weather prophet, and
whenever he makes a representation his
friends and acquaintance regard it as worthy
of credence Mr.. Cushman believes the
coming winter will be an unusually severe
one, and bases his opinion on the following
grounds:
First, the husks on corn are much thicker
than usual, and of deep orange tint, instead
of light lemon hue.
Second, the hog melt runs jagged, instead
of smooth
Third, the goose bone taken from May
raised fowl shows larger and whittier spots
than customary, which resemble the canals OF
Mars.
Fourth, the crop of nuts of all kinds is
immense and the squirrels and chipmunks
are laying in prodigious stores early in the
season.
Fifth, the cartridges and woodcock are
lighting in barns and outhouses, instead OF
trees, and ducks are flying in U-shaped in
stead of V.shaped, focks toward the south.
Sixth, the green frogs are changing their
skins and are even now seeking cool wells
and springs for their winter quarters.
Mr.. Cushman believes the coming winter
will be the most severe this country has ex-
perienced since the winter of 1888.

How to Treat a Man.

By a Horse in Chicago Humane Journal.
When man drops from sheer exhaus-
ton or illness, promptly seize end-board OF
cartstake, and pound him on the head
and on the ribs. If this does not recuper-
ate him, kick him violently in the belly.
This treatment will restore him if persis-
tently administered.
If a man finds his load too heavy and
feels that it will seriously strain him to
proceed, kick off fence board and knock
him down-and hammer him thoroughly
with the board. This will give renewed
energy, and he will make no more fuss.
But do not on any account reduce the
load. That would look too much like
common sense, or humanity, and he will be
likely never to balk again when overloaded.
If man refuses to drink when you offer
him water, don't give him any for two
days.-That will ''teach him" to be thirsty
at any time you find it convenient to attend
to him.-It is good plan to ply the whip
frequently on man who is at work. No
matter if he is doing his best, hit him now
and then on general principles and to
prevent him taking any comfort. If his
load is not heavy, oblige him to 90 enough
faster to make up for it. Work him hard
enough to bring down the average life of
man one-half, as is done with horses.-lf
no whip is handy, use club.
Tie pour mans head back in an unnatu-
raj position, with his eyes up towards the
sun.-This will give him "fne appear
anee," and ''prevent stumbling. OF
course he will not be able to do so much
work in this fix, but it makes him wretch
ed, so it's albright.
In winter remove his clothing to 'pre-
vent his taking cold" He will also 'dry
quicker" when you overwork him. You
must hang a blanket on his back-but
leave his neck and limbs exposed-when
he is not at work. Men thus treated are
"much healthier" than when allowed y inter
clothing
If it is not perfectly convenient to feed
man, who is working for you, at noon,
let him go without, and, by active use of
the whip, secure as much work as the food
would have secured. OF course it wears
out his vitality and distresses him, but that
is no matter.
Put tight shoes on your man and keep
them there until he is very lame with
corns To change his shoes often costs
money, not much but some, and lameness
and misery are of no account if you can
save dollars worth of shoes in year.
When you hire man do not be hamper
ed by any humane notions. Get all you
can out of him. True nobility consists of
getting money, not in deceucy, or kindness,
or what some noodles term character.
Get money, even if it is all blood-stained

What a woman can do.
What can a woman do?

What can woman do?
She can laugh with her lips-make a
man think she is the merriest cricket in
the world, while her eyes are full of unshed
tears and her heart is beating as if it would
burst
She can forgive great sin like an
angel and nag man about petty vice
like an importation from the lower regions.
She can fix over old frocks and wear
them with a cheerful heart that she may
help somebody, and she can spend the first
money that she really can use for herself
in going to a matinee and on sweets,
when she knows she needs a new pair of
shoes
She can quiet baby with one or two
reassuring pats, when man might almost
knock the life out of it, give it whole
bottle of soothing syrup, and it would still
be open eyed and aggressive.
She can employ whole day looking for
pair of braces for Jack, and yet in the
time of trouble, she could buy amounting
outfit in half an hour, and her needle
would fly as if guided by electricity in
sowing on bridal gown, or shroud for
somebody's baby.
She can cry out her troubles on mans
shoulder and feel a relief that is only posi-
BILE from masculine help, and ten minutes
after she can laugh in that mans face and
wonder what men were made for.
She can be brave in time of mental
trouble; she can stand by and hold the
hand of some one who is suffering from
physical trouble, and yet she will scream
as if she were about to be killed at the
suggestion Of mouse or beetle.
She can smile over dinner of bread and
butter and tea, when that's all she can get,
and later on when prosperity is to the fore,
she can turn up her nose at any game be-
low eanvas-back duck, and wonder at
people caring for anything but the best
brand of Burgundy.
What can't she do? | will tell you.
She can never wear trousers with any
grace, and she will never be able to resist
either the man or the baby who has gotten
the love of her heart.
