The tradition of spring cleaning has got such a hold upon the careful housewife that nothing but downright sickness will prevent her undertaking it.
 It is a fearful amount of unusual exer- tion which she undergoes in this topsy- turvy securing and cleaning.
 Her pride and thought of her nsighbors, however, urge her to exertion beyond her strength.
 And very soon she feels the reaction ; excessive irritability and nervousness show

St Bernard dog set out to look for

came upon Il Newfoundland dog. and
said to him: 81 will hire thee to guard
my children, and to rescue. if by chance
one of them fall into the water"
TO the mastiff he said: '"Thec will |

TO the shepherd dog said he: 'My

And unto the hound he said: "You
shall chase the willy fox"
And to the spaniel: 'When shoot
you are to swim for the game"
And to the bulldog: You shall catch
the bull by the nose, and hold him"
And to the terrier: "Rats! rats! rats!
is all that shall say to you"
Then looking down at the sillsen
poodle he said "Wcll, if my mistress

But turning an eye as.lant on the pug
he said: ''As for you, brainlcss it'll.

New York Stock Market.


NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The stock mar
ket to-day showed considerable irreg-
ularity in its movements, though the
general list, as rulo, was heavy until
the last hour. The opening advances
alone prevented material decline.
There was rather more activity and
more pressure of long stocks, which was
espe cially noticeable among the Gran
gers, Reading, New England and Hook.
ing Coal, while some stocks, especially
the Industrials, Western Union and
Richmond and West Point. continued
strong on inside buying. The market
was dominated principally by the as.
surance that considerable gold, esti-
mated in some quarters as high as
81 1000, 600, would leave tho country Sat-
urday.
The special features Of today's mar
ket were a decided weakness in New
England and the strength OF Western
Union and Richmond and West Point.
New England was sold heavily and the
source OF selling was q mystery to the

Novel Way In Which They Receive Thoir
Pny.
The Chinese soldier receives his pay
once u month only, and Chinese months,
1T may be remembered, are much long
er than those we are accustomed to
reckon by. On the eve of the pay day
the captain OF the company, together
with his scrgcant-major, goes and re-
ceivcs the amount of money requisite
to pay his company from his next
superior officer, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
This is not paid to him in iingling
coins but in pure silver, which, how
ever, has been broken into somewhat
irregular pieces The whole of the
night preceding pay day is occupied in
weighing out for each man the required
quantity of silver, and this occupation.
as may be imagined, is very tedious
one, and only successfully accomplished
by Infinite care, for here Il piece the
size of a pins head has to be clipped IF,
and there piece of larger dimensions
has to be added to make up weight, and
any deviation one way or the other
means the loss of perhaps n days pay or
more to some poor defender Of the ce-
lestial empire
When the process of melting out is
accomplished the silver is carefully
wrapped in paper, upon which is writ
ten the name of the intended recipient.
On the following afternoon the com.
pany is mustered and the sergeant
major divides the money, commencing
with the first man in the company and
going on to the last. When this divi-
sion is concluded the question is asked
In stentorian tones: HAS anyone else a

been promptly given, the men are then
dismissed.
Each man now repairs to the nearest
tradcsman's shop, where he exchanges
his silver. For one tael he receives one
thousand small coins called cash per
forated in the center so as to allow of

received the proper amount, turns

state Of Maine, but ono of his family lies
under its soil. His eldest sou and daugh-
ter, Walker Blaine and Mrs Coppinger,
are inferred in Oak Hill in a lot that the
dead man himself selected and purchased
three years ago. When the body of Walker
Blaine lay in the house awaiting inter-
Dient Mr.. Blaine, accompanied by a friend,
walked over to Oak Hill and selected the
lot in which his well-beloved son was
placed and which soon afterward received
the body of Mrs. Coppinger.
Situation of the Lot.
1t lies in the eastern part of the ceme-
terry, half way down the terrace on the
western bank of the creek The view from
the plot is to the northeast, and within
range lie Sheridan circle and Kalaroma
Heights, the home of John Howard Payne,
in one of the most attractive portions of
Washington. No stone yet marks the
graves of the children of the deceased ex-
secretary. The body of Emmons Blaine
lies in one of the Chicago cemeteries, SO
that aside from the national character of
the deceased, which makes the national
capital the most fitting resting place for
his remains, Oak Hill more than any
other can be called the family burying
place
Only Twelve of Them Left.
At the present time there are but twelve
men who were members of the house of
representatives and who served with Blaine
when he was a member. These are Hol-
man, O'Neill of Pennsylvania, Harmer,
Hooker, Blount, Burrows. Springer, For
ney, Culberson. Bland, Henderson of Illi-
nois, and Ketcham. Yesterday they were
full of "reminiscences The Democrats re-
membered with great satisfaction that it
was Blaine's rulings in the chair that en-
abled Randall to filibuster against the first
force bill and defeat it, although the Re-
Republican majority was large and in IA
vor of the bill. Holman said Blaine did
rs much to defeat the bill as Randall.
The "Piumcd Knight" Scene.
Other members recalled the time when
Blaine "like a plumed knight marched
down the halls of congress-" ETC., while
still others gave incidents of the great de-
bate in the senate over the general amnesty
bill. The celebrated Conkling episode,
which made those two men enemies for
life, was also recited over and yer. And
Blaine's manners, appearances on this or
that occasion, were frequently referred to.
All agreed that the house never had more
popular member
Seven Colleagues in the Senate.
There are but seven of those who served
with Mr.. Blaine in the senate remaining in
hat body, where he served so hcl.0rably
and so well. They'are Senators Allison,
Cockrell, Dawes, Gordon, Mitchell, Nor
rill and Ransom, four Republicans and
three Democrats. Mr.. Hale, the junior
senator from Maine, who, perhaps, stands
nearer to Mr.. Blaine than any other man
in Washington, was too greatly moved by
the personal sorrow that came to him to
express his views concerning the life and
work of the great party leader. His re-
marks in Announcing to the senate the
death of Mr.. Blaine were delivered with
much feeling and but partly expressed the
e ep emotion that possessed him. The
others all eulogiz d the de,.l statesman.
