A Good Sell

Captain Whelin was an excellent volun
teer officer, and because of this at the close
of our late war he received lieutenant's
commission in the regular army and since
then has won his way to the command of a
company.
Captain Whelin is an Irishman, and like
all his countrymen he dearly loves a joke
Some time since the captain was stationed
in far western fort, which was com
manded by Major Phipps of the same regi
ment.
The major is a martinez, and his personal
dignity and self Importance are so marked
as to make him an object of ridicule when
his back is turned and an object Of con
tempt at all times.
Captain Whelin, like all his brother Of
ficers, cordially dislikes the major and lets
slip no opportunity Of taking him down
when it can be done without visitation of
military discipline. The captain had been
to Leavenworth, where there is home for
disabled volunteer soldiers, and on his re
turn he met the major at the Post club,
where the latter was telling how he had
won battles which others claimed the glory
Of Suddenly Whelin said:
II saw man over at Leavenworth who'd
give the world to kick you"
kick mer' shouted the major Il de
mand his name, STRIP
II don't like to tell YOU" said the tor,
mentor.
"But demand the name" persisted the
bellicose major.
"Well if you insist on knowing-but
mark you, major, it must go no further
the man was'-
"Who3 Who?"
Don't be in such hurry, major. The
man was old Sergeant Billy Waters of the
First artillery, who lost both his legs at
Atlanta by the explosion of a shell. Faith
he'd give all he has, or hopes to have, to be
able to kick anybody"

The Top Floor the HeaIthiest.

Live as near the top of your house as you
tan. 1t is the most healthful part of the
whole building. There is more air, freer
circulation and less of the unwholesome
dust from the street.
People often wonder at the rugged health
of servants in spite of their constant and
wearing duties. 1t is to great extent ow-
ing to the fact that they usually sleep in a
purer atmosphere than any other occupant
of the house.
The attic, generally devoted to storage
and servants rooms, is far more valuable
than the second floor bedrooms pre-empted
by the heads of families There are GER
tain physicians who insist on their patients
being taken way up stairs at the beginning
of an Illness
In the average fat house the top floor is
always rented for a smaller sum than any
of the others, and yet it is sure to be light
and cool, while in the stuffy down stairs
rooms one must burn gas all day. No one
passes your door or tramps over your head,
and you can have the roof for a garden.
Some people object because their ceilings
get the benefit of every leak in the roof.
But there is deep consolation in the fact
that no one can be legally compelled to pay
rent when the roof leaks.-Donahoes Mag

Wisdom In Discinline.

A will may be broken in childhood by a
government too severe. The discipline,
failing to recognize the individual nature
and aiming to thoroughly control, may re-
tard the consciousness of moral RESPONSE
bility in child so that no determining
power within is developed and the will be
suppressed or overcome That such gov
eminent of children cannot be too earnestly
decried can readily be perceived by logical
ly following the results. We have men and
women who cannot determine any action
for themselves, but always depend on the
resolutions of developed natures to guide
them. We can have no brave men and
women save through the strong will that
makes fearless the obedience to good prin-
ciples
If children are compelled to submit to
anything except as they comprehend, the
contradiction is based ON a larger wisdom
and truer principle than determines their
impulses-they are retarded in their devel-
opment. 1t is the first duty of parent or
guardian to establish authority through
winning confidence, the most sacred duty
to be worthy the confidence gained House

The American Woman.

The American woman is again the sub
ject Of an interesting paper from the French
point of view that has lately been done into
English for The Popular Science Monthly.
OF her the writer says: "Of all the gifts
which it (nature) has lavished upon her,
one of the most characteristic is certainly
adaptability. Few women in Europe pos
sess in the same degree as the American
woman the faculty of identifying them
selves with their medium of changing
country, climate and surroundings with SO
wonderful suppleness.
more perfectly than others she accom-
modates herself to circumstances, while she
preserves her individuality in strange sur
rounding Whenever we meet the Amer
lean woman-and we meet her everywhere,
in the ranks of the English peerage and OF
the highest European aristocracy, as well
as in more modest conditions-we are struck
with that marvellous adaptability in which
wise men see the signs of the superiority OF
a race or of a species"

A Dog That Deserves Fame.

While Herman Richard. who is employed
in the south yards Of the Northwestern
Railway company, was driving from his
home, 40 Twenty-eighth street, Milwau-
kee, one of the buggy wheels struck a side
walk approach, the vehicle was overturned,
and Richard was thrown out. His left leg
and one of his arms were sprained. The
horse broke loose and continued down
Broadway on gallop. Mr.. Richard has a
Newfoundland dog which usually follows
him down town. and this morning when
the dog saw the horse break away he start
ed in pursuit At various places between
Michigan street and the Broadway bridge
the faithful dog grabbed the trailing lines,
only to be jerked about until he lost his
hold But the dog succeeded in stacking
the speed of the horse somewhat, and some
men caught it near the bridge When the
dog got back to where his master lay, he
was utterly exhausted, but afterward
picked himself up and followed the ambu-
lance containing his master to the Elmer
oency hospital

Tho Dangerous Nutmeg.

Cases are not infrequently reported in
which children and sometimes grown per
sons are poisoned by the free use of nut
megs, it not being generally known that
this article of common household use is
really deadly poison. This is true, in fact
of most common condiments, but when
misused these articles, such as pepper, cap
sicum, ETC., are so obnoxious to the taste
excepting when taken in very minute guam
titles, that the consumer is warned in g
very positive manner before he has had an
opportunity to do himself serious injury
This is not the case, however, with the nut
meg.
This nut, which contains poisonous prin
ciple of very deadly character, may be
consumed without inconvenience in guam
titles sufficient to produce fatal conse
quences, and it is surprising not that death
occasionally occurs from its use, but that
deaths are not more frequent. A fatal cast
has been recently reported in which boy
of years fell into a comatose condition
after eating two nutmegs and died within
IL hours.-Albany Express.

A Queer Service.

While In Australia gentleman told me

He was travelling through western New
South Wales and stopped to spend the

He had just eaten his dinner when he
was handed note 1t proved to be an in

Every Girl Should BE Taught to Darn.

Every girl should be taught to darn with
all the dainty stitches of the art. There
should be instilled into her sense of the
disgrace of wearing a stocking with even a
broken thread, while a darn well put in has
a homelike, respectable look that in nc
way deteriorates from the value of good
stocking. Darning is lady's occupation
akin to embroidery in dizziness and gentle
ness of touch. 1t requires skill and judg-
ment to select the thread, which should be
but trifle coarser than the web Of the
stocking, or, in case of cloth, than the
thread of the goods. Where a cloth may
be easily raveled it is better to darn it with
the Rawlings, unless it is in place where
more than ordinary strain come on the
goods. Thick cloth should be darned be
tween the layers, and when done by skill
full hand and well pressed the work becomes
practically invisible

NO BLANKS IN THIS co=PET1oN.

No -BLANhS IN THIS CO-PETlON.
This is a competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on certain corner is not ac-
cepted has spent his labor on something
of very little use to him. But the person
who patented simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's competi-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-one that will com
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought TO know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theO-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get tho Press Claims Com
pany's twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

Keeping Up the Milk Flow.


There is something wrong in the prac-
tice of most farmers, viewed from the
dairy standpoint 1t is permitting COWS
10 dry up at this time of year or soon
Ifter and go dry until spring. We
fave spoken regarding dairy cows
Ind general purpose COWS. Lest we be
misunderstood, we wish to say right here
that we do not specify any breed or
breeds as good and others as bad. Cows
are what inheritance and training and
feed have made them.
A COW that has sucked calf and that
descended from long line of ancestry
so kept is not the COW for dairying. She
may take first prize at apublic three
days test, but before the end of the
year she becomes an expensive thing to
6eep. General purpose cows may be
bred and trained away from profitable
milking capacity. When we speak of
dairy cows, we simply mean those which
have been developed and trained in milk
giving capacity regardless of breed
conceding the fact, however, that GER
tain breeds have been trained in this
direction more than certain other breeds.
Now, the way to spoil any cow is to let
her shrink seriously in her milk flow
when the calf is 4 or months old. Short
feed now means failure to the summer
dairy. Generous feed now means an
extra 100 pounds of high priced butter.
Have good pasture now. We speak from
trial. Supplement the pasture if nee
sssary by feeding your oats and green
corn to the cows until the fall feed
comes on. There is no surer way to lose
money than to neglect this.-Creamery

A THRILLING MOMENT.
Captain Curtis Is Reminded of a Mar.
row Escape from Death

Captain Curtis. of the Belle of Bath,
met an old Eastern friend in this city
yesterday, and had thrilling moment
in his career recalled to him. When
the two last met, It was in Philadelphia,
and Captain Curtis was just recovering
from a dangerous knife wound at the
hands Of a would-be assassin. His as
sailant was a sailor, who drove a huge
knife almost through Captain Curtis
body, just missing the heart by half
an inch. When stabbed, the injured
man pulled the knife out of the wound
with his left hand, at the same time
drawing a revolver with his disengaged
hand and rapidly emptying its con-
tents into the body of the knife wielder.
There were seven chambers in the re-
volver, and every shot took effect, al
though the sailor kept advancing, bent
on finishing his intended victim. He
finally dropped, however, but recover
ed, strange to say, five bullets having
been removed from him. The other two
were never located. Uuon his recovery,
Captain Curtis assailant was tried, con-
victed, and sentenced to two and one
half years in the penitentiary. The
incident had almost been forgotten, un-
Ill recalled yesterday by Captain Cur
tis' old acquaintance.
