The Crinoline's Coming.

For six months or moro the country
has been all stirred up over the possible
and probable advent Of the crinoline OF
our Rrandmothers. What is the use OF
fighting the hoopskirt? Let it come.
Our fathers and grandfathers used TO
think our mothers and grandmother
lovely in cr1noline, and wooed them about
as ardently as men WOO women to-day,
and will WOO them whether they wear
crinoline or not. As for the extra room
taken up, why, the st. Paul & Duluth
Railroad will put on extra coaches, it
need be. The Duluth Short Line is all
ways up to the times, and does not intend
to antagonlze the ladies. This Line al
ways enjoys the popular favor OF the pub
lie, for it is the peoples route between
[st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Su-
perior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls, and
other important Northwestern points,
making close connections aud handsome

Painted White Pine FIOors-

Paint often peels from white pine
floors on account of the battering which
the soft wood gets from boot heels, etc.
One such has been treated in a way that
so far, promises to be cure. Remove
all the loose paint and clean the floor,
being careful to rinse off all the soap.
When very dry, apply linseed oil, smok-
ing hot-hot enough to turn a white
feather little brown. 1t is then thin
and penetrates the wood. This will spoil
brush of bristles, but it is easily done
with an imitation brush of cotton cloth
rolled on fiat stick and tackled. Let
the oil dry and harden three or four
days, the longer the better.
Then paint the bare portions with
paint made largely of red lead, one or
two coats. When well dried, paint the
whole floor for uniform color. Do not
let the dealer make you believe his ready
mixed is "the thing" You will get only
ocher, and that is earth and "dirt cheap"
The metal pigments are far better. The
points to insist on are: Hot oil and thor
ough drying to harden the wood and the
red lead paint.-Baltimore American.

The Giants and Noah,s Flood.

Among the many queer stories related
in the old Jewish Talmud and copied
into Barring Gould's "Patriarchs and
Prophets" and works of similar import
is one concerning the action taken by
the great race of giants at the time of
tho deluge. At the time of the flood the
giants were not all drowned. Their
leader, Og, planted his foot upon the
fountains of the deep, and with his
hands he stopped the windows of heav-
en-. According to Rabbi Eliezer, when
the flood broke upon the earth the giants
exclaimed, eff all the waters of tho
earth be gathered together, they will
only reach to our waists. and if the foun-
tains of the great deep be broken up we
will stamp them down again." This
they did as they had declared they
would. Then God made the waters hot
and boiled the flesh from their bones.
The Targum of Palestine also says the
waters of the flood were hot. The Tai
mud then goes on to relate the story of
the escape of Og, declaring that he went
into the water along with the rhinoceros,
clinging to the side of the ark. The
same authorities which give us an ac-
count of how Og saved himself tell us
that all the waters of the deluge were
hot except that which Immediately sur
rounded the hull of the ark. One rab-
binic authority says that Og climbed
upon the top of the ark, and that when
Noah discovered and attempted to dis
lodge him he swore to be a slave to the
patriarch's family forever if permitted
to retain his seat.-St. Louis Republic.

Departed Grandeur For Sale.

In old st. Stephens, famous in song
and story, a parish of Berkeley county.
on the banks of the tawny Santee, some
so miles in straight line from the shores
of the Atlantic, is 4 great landed estate
whose broad acres, level river bottom
and rolling highland, cultivated fields,
tangled swamp, stately pine grove,
groups of live oak, with here and there
bit of virgin forest, form domain fit for
a prince, On it have lived and died a
long succession of Carolina planters, all
princes in their day, to whom, while
slavery lasted. snowy fields of cotton and
waving crops of Indian corn and smaller
grain furnished prineely revenue, And
the cattle. If not of a thousand hills, of
a thousand canebrakes, was theirs, and
droves of wild hogs, that throve in the
thickets of the swamps, and blood horses
were their pride.
All that is gone by now. The lordly
life of the planter has passed away for
ever; slavery has been abolished, and
the owner of the land, wearied of the
struggle with demoralized freedmen,
would fain give up the fight and offers
his patrimony for sale for a song, for
barely enough to support him comfort
ably for the decade of life that may yet
remain to him. There are 5000 acres in
that estate, which is offered to any taker
at very little over 81 an acre. OF that
5000 acres there is arabic land capable
of producing bale of cotton to the acre,
20 to 30 bushels of corn, over 20 bushels
of oats, to say nothing of the possibilities
of fruits and vegetables and of horse,
cattle and hog raising Charleston News
