Several times he was reminded Of

as many times forgot to put it In his

last, stung to desperation by his
friends gibes, he sat down, and, adj
dressed a postal card to himself at
his residence, and wrote on the back
of it thus: 'If you do not attend

The Original Method Employed for Pun'
ishing an EggSteallng Servant.
Among the passengers or a train
running into Buffalo the other day
was spruce looking young farmer
who occupied seat alone and ap-
peared to be rejecting on something
really amusing. He would now and
then chuckle to himself as though he
had got the better of some one in a
way that tickled khim. Finally an
Express reporter remarked to him
that he looked particularly happy.
"Yes," he said, II had a little fun
yesterday over serious matter. We
have girl working for us who is
chain lightning at housework but is
light-fngered. We had missed d good
many little things from the house,
but had 10 evidence that she had
taken them. | observed, however,
that for some reason every time she
went to the homo of her parents she
carried a bundle Of clothing and
brought it back again with precise
regularity. Among the things we
missed most cOnspicuouslY was almost
the entire production of eggs, but we
could not conceive of way In which
she could carry them home without
being detected In the act l was
determined to ascertain If she carried
them away in the bundle, and so when
she arranged to 20 home few days
ago l insisted upon driving over that
way. l noticed at once that she was
not enthusiastic over the proposition,
but / was just the same. When all
was ready caught up the regulation
bundle AMI at once could feel the
eggs within. There must have been
two or three dozen in there |
handled it as though it was damage
proof, and she grew correspOndingly
nervous. | put the bundle where one
of my feet could easily reach 1t, and
on the way | would every few min
utes crack an egg and remark that l
thought l heard peculiar noises now
and then and wondered what 1t could
be. 1t was a zero day. but when |
turned to see how the girl was en-
joying it the sweat was pouring down
her face and she looked the very
picture of despair. l cracked a few
more eggs, and remarked about the
peculiar sound again. When we
reached her home L took good care
when / helped her out to hand her
the precious bundle. 1t was In con-
ditition unfit for transportation, but
/ placed it in her hands with great
pleasure / think she never will for
get Just how she felt as she endeavored
to hang on to the bundle and keep
the eggs where she had placed them.

looked. need not describe how the
eggs seemed to enjoy the situation,

Brain Weight of Women and Men.

BY the most careful iyestigators on
the subject it is computed that the
average weight of the adult male
brain is to that of the female as lOU
to 80. The average excess in weight
Of the male brain is about five ounces.
In size of brain there is also differ
ence between the sexes, the male De-
ing the larger. This difference IN
creases with the development Of the
race, the brain of the male European
excelling that of the female in size
much more than that of the African
negro exceeds that of the negress.

HOW TO scouR WATER BOTTLES.

Carafes, which have SO largely re-
placed the ice pitcher, are really very
pleasing and refreshing to look at If
they are kept fastidiously clean and
bright. Unfortunately the purest water
obtainable very soon dulls the inside,
and 1t isn't every one who knows a
quick and easy method of removing
this.
A very simple thing to do is to tear
a newspaper into small bits and nearly
or quite fill the carafe. Then pour in
warm soapsuds with a little ammonia
added, and shake well. The paper will
soon scour the inside of the bottle
thoroughly clean, and it only remains
to rinse it well before using again

MOTHS.

MOTHS.
Among the many duties demanding
the housekeeper's attention is the work
of putting away clothing, SO as to pre-
vent the ravages of the moth, writes
Mrs. E. R. Parker in the Courier
Journal.
Furs are usually the most difficult to
care for. They should be brushed and
well beaten to dislodge any moth eggs
that may have been depositedin them,
and then hung in the sun. Wooden
dresses, overcoats, flannel underwear
and extra blankets not needed for sum-
mer use should all undergo careful ex'
animation and airing, preparatory to
being slowed away for the summer.
The old-fashioned custom of our
grandmothers-t of packing wooden
goods in boxes with gum camphor or
tobacco-is now declared failure, and
if we remember the many moth-eaten
articles we have seen come forth
from trunks and boxes, redolent with
these particular odors, one will agree
with the modern idea as to their want
of efficacy. Many women take the
precautionary measure of folding in
papers and sewing up in cotton bags,
but none of these are wholly safe, as
the only guarantee against moths is to
keep the moth miller from depositing
its eggs, which they seem to do before
it can be prevented in the spring. |
have recently noticed an excellent bag,
which seems to be the best article to
use in putting away woolens and furs;
it is alright and entirely free from any
unpleasant odor. Garments can be
put in and taken out of these bags
with ease, rendering one always sure
of their condition.
For putting away the winter wear,
articles of a kind should be put to-
gether, as it sometimes causes delay
and trouble to have to hunt through
bags or boxes when some particular
garment is needed. 1t is an excellent
plan to mark each bag on the outside,
SO the contents will be known without
opening.
Proper attention given the work this
month will relieve the housekeeper of
all anxiety on the subject, as well as
saving much expense by keeping the
wooden clothes in good condition for
another season.

These Are Queer Words.

Filibuster, freebooter and buccaneer
are words curiously interrelated. The
French and the English sea adventures
once made common cause against Span
lsh settlements in the new world, and
all three OF these words came In time
to describe the rude sea soldiers who
despoile1 the Spanish main and the
towns upon the coast Of the Spanish
possessions. Filibuster is said to lie
the result of an attempt to make a
French word of freebooter, and the
English borrowed it back from the
French because it sounded less frankly
brutal than the English word. Buc-
cancer was originally French in form.
and it meant at first one who hunted
the boucan or wild cattle and hogs Of
the West indies; then one who made
jerked meat of their flesh, and finally,
because this meat was used to provision
the ships of the sea royers, filibuster
or freebooter.

A Matter of Health

TTcosts more to make Royal Baking Powder
than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive. But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost of Royal over the best of the others
does not equal the difference in leavenlng
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety All others are shown by official =
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.
