Every woman admires a man who can
swim and looks with horror at a boy who

rail.
A Texas paper remarks that the bar

Never sun feather beds or pillows. Air

A person killing a robin in this State

Hot alum water is the best insect de-
stroyer known. Put alum in hot water
and boil until dissolved; then apply the
water with brush to all cracks, closets,
bedsteads and other places where insects

and other creeping things are killed.
The season ofthe year is now at hand
when the good housewife spre DIS sticky
fy-paper over the different articles of fur
niture in her household and when the good
man rises from chair and finds the bay
window of his unmentionables halfsoled
with the same, verify he waxeth wroth.
A ripe tomato will remove ink stains
from the bands, or from paper or linen,
says an exchange. There is no particular
knack about it. All that is to be done is

the ink spot with the juice, then wash in
clear water, and ink and tomato Juice will
come away together.
An old summer drink, recommended
by physicians for cooling the blood both
of children and adults, is made by taking
teaspoonful of cream of tarter and dis
solving it in tumbler of water sweetenine

from lemon ade. 1t can be made in a quan.
tity and keep it on ice. 1t is highly laxa,
tive.
1t is no sign that man is rich be
cause he pays his promptly, says an ex.
change. Not by any manner of meals
There are poorer men and men of moder
ate means who pay as they 90, on tn.
principle that it is uot only honest, but
that it is the safest. On the other hant
there are rich people who rarely pay unit
almost forced to do 30. There are many
such, and the pity is that their number SC
nearly approaches legion. Not to pay
bill when you have the money, and espec
tally when it is due, may not be styled
crime, but it is very far from being right.

1t is matter Of curiosity to some pee
pie how bank can become obliged t
close its doors while it is fina ncially SCUM
as many are doing at present. 1t happen
in this way: In the course of business

terest to depositors. this money must b
lent out, for which the bank receives th
note of the borrower and the interest o
the same. Now, after say $50, 900 had bee
so lent out, depositors get uneasy and b,
gin "run" on the bank. 1t is impossibl
to collect the notes until they are due, an
when the banks surplus cash is gone

sound and able to pay every dollar it owe
but if all the depositors call for their mol
