The house fiattened out Swayne' )
senate bill establishing reformatory
at Fort Worth for fallen women. The
vote was two to one against lis passage,
and without speech making. The
bill had passed to eDgrossment by a
majority of ii, and the vote today WAS
a surprise. Several clements cootrib =
uted to the defeat. First, disposition
to hedge in matters of appropriation.
Second, the incident Of the chaplain =
prayer few days ago, and third, the
continued presence in the lobby of
those urging the passage OF the bill.
The senate today concurred in the
house amendments to senate bill No
4, which were nothing more or less
than the substitution Of the Goss eft
bill for the Kirby perpetulty bill. The
senate got considerably raw about the
liberty taken by the house In the
premises, but Senator Kirby, who had
introduced the measure in the
senate, declared that it was the
measure he was after and
he was not willing to stand on a
question Of ethics AID courtesy to the
endangering of the bill. Privately
Senator Kirby had declared himself as
prefcrring the Gossett bill to his own
bill in the shape 1t was left after the
senate sluggers were through with II.

People Living in a Volcano.

Thirty miles from the city of Kuma-
motto, Japan, is the volcano Aso San.
This volcano has the largest crater in
the world. 1t is more than thirty miles
in circumference, and peopled by co.
600 inhabitants, says the Chicago
Times. Think of walking for miles
among fertile farms and prosperous
villages, peering into the school.
house windows and sacred shrines, all
within the shell of an old-time crater,
whose walls rise 800 feet all about you.
1t gives one queer feeling. Hot
springs abound everywhere. In one
place / saw the brick-red hot water
utilized to turn rice mill The inner
crater is nearly half a mile in diameter,
and steady column of roaring steam
pours out of it.
The last serious eruption was in
1884, when immense quantities of
black ashes and dust were elected and
carried by the wind as far as Kuma-
moto, where for three days it WIS so
dark that artificial light had to be
used. But what interested me most
was to learn that out of that old time
crater had come not only a stream OF
pure water and many kinds of farm
product, but young men who, seeking
a wider school and home than the
mouth of vigorous volcano, had
found their way to Kumamoto, kyoto,
and America, and were now foremost
among the Christian educators and
preachers of Japan.
The pulpit orator of Osaka, the
principal of an English school ut
Kumamoto, who is graduate OF
Andover, and one of the Doshisha
professors at Kkoto, New Haven
graduate, all came from that valley OF
death.

TO CONQUER THE MOTHS.

The moth-miller makes her up.
pearance between the middle OF
April and the last of june, and if the
eggs are in any garment when put
away it will be damaged in the fall, no
matter how many representatives. have
been used
Give the garments to be put away
and which cannot be washed, thor
ough shaking and brushing, and ex
pose them to the SUMS rays for e few
hours Then put them into paper
-four sacks; fold the edges of the sack
and paste over it thickness OF muslin
or paper, thereby sealing il SO secure
ly that the mother-miller cannot get
in. Another way to outwit her is to
paper large box on the inside, fill it
with the wooden garments, fit on the
cover, then paste paper ell over the
outside.
To protect furniture and carpets,
saturate strips of red flannel with
solution of arsenic and lay them under
the edges of the carpets and inside tho
lining of the furniture covers. The
worm will eat of them and die.
Moths are especially fond of babies
cloths. If the miller finds spot
where milk has been she will deposit
her eggs there. A wool mattress is
another place for which she shows
great Partially, and it is hard to prevent
her from depositing eggs somewhere
in it. The best remedy is to prop the
mattress up on blocks of wood out in
the yard and set under it dish of
live Goals, on which you must sprinkle
sulphur from time to time. Care must
be used to prop it high enough not to
become scorched.
Remember that whatever you use
must be used in time to prevent the
moth from depositing her eggs, as
there are lew things that will kill the
worm. Oil of cedar, turpentine cam
phor, oil of cloves or wintergreen will
keep the worm away, but evaporate
quickly and should be used early and
renewed often. They kill neither
moth nor worm, and must be stong to
be effective. Louis Star-Sayings.

A great many cooks have adopted
the simple method of using ordinary
white paper to cover the bottom OF
their cakes, bread and other articles OF
cookery. In many homes ordinary
printed newspapers are used to cover
the top of bread-loaves in order to
keep the top crust from burning, while
the rest of the bread bakes properly.
The danger residing in printers ink
alone should discourage any one from
adopting such a method, but really
no paper of any sort should be used in
cooking. If we could see how most of
our paper, even the cleanest and white
looking paper is made, we would feel
disguised every time that we used it
for cooking. ALI sorts of refuse is
mixed in it, and many of them are
poisonous Paper is filled with glue,
lime and other chemicals, which makes
it poisonous to the stomach. If this
is brought in contact with wet cake, or
any article that is cooking, great
deal of injurious substances will be ab-
sorbed, and finally be eaten. If one
must have such things as paper or
cloth for cooking purposes, small
pieces of cheese cloth should be used.
This is almost as cheap "a good white
paper, and it is far more satisfactory.
Our best French cooks are appreciat-
ing this, and many of them use cheese
cloth in preference to paper.-Yankee

John Worth, in the Nineteenth Cen
fury, gives some striking facts about
the rapid determination of the birds of
North America. The advent of the
pillow and the frame hut of the settler
is gradually driving the feathered
tribe from its old haunts, and what
nests are spared by the pillow are
only too often destroyed by prairie
fires. The heath hen used to be seen
in autumn in packs of from 100 to 200
birds i'll each now the number in a
coyey rarely exceeds six or eight The
sharp-tailed grouse and the wild tur-
key will soon follow the bison and the
moose into the animnlia of the past
Professor Roney asserts in the Chicago
Field that in one of the vast breeding
colonies alone some 1000, 900, 900
pigeons were sacrificed to Mammon"
during one nesting season, and even
allowing for exaggeration the extent
OF the slaughter is beyond question.
The remedy is not easy to seek. Mr..
Worth suggests an ACT OF Congress to
prevent bird destruction throughout
the I'm ed States.

Money May be Too Safe.

81 have no doubt that many o fam.
lily now struggling along under the
belief that the father died and left
nothing would be well off could they
go to the safe deposit vault where the
head of the house kept his valuables,
open the door of his particular com
partment and carry away its con
tents"
The speaker was man who is con
nected with an establishment of the
kind mentioned. He evidently knew
what he was talking about.
The safe deposit vaults are mod.
ern institution. In them a man, by
the payment of So or upward annu-
ally, can keep his money, jewelry and
papers safe from fire and burglary.
Armed guards further protect his prop.
erty, but even without their presence
no gang of burglars could work quick
ly enough to despoil the vaults, built,
as they are, of steel and granite into
the very backbones of immense build
ings.
But the very care of the tenant is
the doom of his nearest kin, said the
interested gentleman; she doesn't ex-
pect to die suddenly, but that mode
seems the most general nowadays. No
man should have his affairs 30 secret
that his loved ones suffer the rest OF
their lives by what he considered his
forethought.
ga recent case occurs to me. A
young man with apparently many
years before him, suddenly went in
sane. He was fond of jewelry, but on,
night would-be thief snatched very
valuable scarf-pin the young man wore.
After that, though he foiled the high
way robber, he would not wear his dia-
monds, but put them in his safe, under
the care of the deposit vaults.
Had he not told me of the incident
nobody would ever have known what
became of the diamonds. No man puts
his name and address in his safe, and
the company only knows him person
ally and not his relatives"
Even savings banks have been able
to build handsome edifices with the
uncalled-for money deposited by men
or women who have disappeared. Take
many thousand accounts, and Ger.
tain percentage of them will never be
called for. They are advertised, but
very little results from the advertise
ments, and the bank is the winner.
The amounts thus lost to sight ag-
gregate many hundreds of thousands
of dollars. There is grim fatality
about the ''safety" of a vault. New

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.


The best variety of peas to can green
is the Little Gem, or any of the tender
early kinds, as Blue Peter, Abundance,
or McLain's Little Gem, mentioned.
This last is considered the finest for
canning. The process is as follows:
The peas are shelled in the usual way
and put in new tin or glass cans, and
if in tin the covers are soldered on,
leaving small pinhole IN the center
of the cover; or, if glass, the covers
are put on loosely to afford escape for
the air and steam. The cans are put
in boiler in cold water, and the
water is brought to boil and kept at
this temperature for an hour, when
the cans are taken out, and, if of tin,
are closed by drop of solder on the
hole; if of glass, the rubber rings are
put on and the covers are fastened
down tightly. They are cooled slowly
and kept in a cool place. No salt is
used. A little water is put in the cans
before they are closed in.-New York
