HOUSEKEEPERS SHOULD REMEM-
Der.

Katherine B. Johnson gives in the
Albany Cultivator some household
hints that are very seasonable.
That there are few servants SO thor
ough that they should not inspect the
refrigerator daily to Sc that no liquids
are spilled or food allowed to spoil
and contaminate the rest.
That dish water, which is always i'm
pregnated with more or less vegetable
matter, should never be thrown on
the ground at the back door.
That all tubs and basins in bath
rooms and kitchen sinks and drains
should be flushed with hot water on
every weekly washing day.
That sulphate of iron (copperas) and
chloride of lime, two of the best dis
are but ten cents pound,
and a plentiful use of either in sinks
and open drains during the summer
and autumn may prevent that dread
ed disease, typhoid fever.
That no hamper or other receptacle
of soiled clothing, no matter how
decorated, should be
kept in sleeping apartment.
That powdered borax, plentifully
used, will exterminate cockroaches
and water bugs.

A REFLECTION.

l saw pretty bit of conjugal felici-
ty recently. Possibly, some other peo-
pie may share my enjoyment of it If
reproduce as we'll as may be in black
and white.
An old gentleman, who had long re-
tired from business which had fairly
stfeathered the nest" for old age, came
from his morning walk.
His wife met him at the door-her
custom for more than fifty years, and
spective easy chairs.
"Where do you think I went this
morning, mother?''
LAS far as any youth of your time, [
dare say" she said proudly.
''I went up to the old neighborhood,
mother" They looked straight into
each others eyes in sympathy, and
for little while were silently think

eyes" he resumed, 'I walked up
and down past the house where we
lived so long, where Anne was mar
ried, and where so many things hap
pened. Then went into Pemberton's
grocery to rest"
"That was taste of old time,'' to be
sure" said "mother. "
"Pemberton was there himself.
Dear, dear, how old he looks! He in
troduced me to fne-looking custom
er; and what do you think he said
about us?"
ooh, something about the days
when we we're first acquaint,' pre-
sume."
"He told the gentleman that he
served us with goods for forty years,
and never had a chance to send us a
bill''
"That was the blessed truth"
ssAnd I told the gentleman that ever
since the first week we went to house
keeping had given you an allowance
of money, much or little, as could
afford; and you had kept our expens-
es inside, always"

when you surprised me with the bead
purse you had knit for me, seems as
if I could see you now, knitting every
evening and trying to turn the beads
outside, just as easy,-and did not
guess that it was to hold fifty dollars
in gold pieces that you had saved out
of the years. house money"
eWell, you had not missed it from
the table or anywhere else"
ssNo, no; always enough to eat, and
the house as tasty as the housekeeper."
'tWell, hubby, perhaps there were
not as many temptations for a house
wife to spend money in those old
fashioned times"
HtPerhaps not, Jane. But new-fash-
toned times make long bills and short
lives, I notice"
Now, this picture ought to be etched
upon young lives, love and conf
dence which had walked hand in hand
through forty-fve years of married
life, with "pay- as you go" prlncl-
pie. which walked while others rode,
to the sure end of comfort in old age.
They had met many riders coming |
back on foot, as far as the poorhouse,
or some condition of homelessness and
dependence upon the favor Of friends.

1.-THE Criminal Type. )"

An important result Of the congress at
Brussels on criminal anthropology has
been the discrediting of the so called
criminal type" or habitual criminal
The person who was born a criminal,
and must be one, 'nolens volens," was
supposed to have a smaller capacity of
skull than the average, more retreat
ing forehead, the back of the head large,
the lower jaw very strong and pro-
nounced, the ears often deformed, the
hair coarse and thick, the beard scanty,
etc.
DR.. Tarnovski, of st. Petersburg, and
DIR. Naecke, from very large collection
of data, maintained that there was no
special popularity in the physique Of
criminals, male or female, and the general
tendency of the papers read and discus
sions on the subject was to regard crime
as the result of social and psychical
rather than physical peculiarities.-Man-

A Strange Death.

Thomas Odell, young man of twen-
tyfwo years, living seven miles back of
Greenup, KY, has met death in strange
manner. He had been puzzle to ply
sicians for several years Ne was affected
by what he ate to such an extent that
when he INDUCED in beef eating about
an hour afterward he would become
restless and wander out in search of
cattle and below as an OK, and would
get down on his hands and knees and
eat grass like a COW. When he partook
of mutton his actions were those of a
sheep, and he would plaintively bleat
like a lamb When he ate chicken he
would go out and scratch for worms,
which he would devour with apparent
relish.
After eating fish he would wander TO
the creek and go in swimming. One day
his father killed several squirrels, of
which the son ate heartily for dinner.
He left the house shortly after and was
followed by the father. The father saw
him enter an oak grove, and soon saw
his son jumping nimbly from limb to
limb, at the same time barking like a
squirrel. He called for him to come
down, but this only seemed to make the
boy want to escape, and he attempted to
jump from one tree to another, but
missed and fell to the ground, a man
gled, breathless mass of humanity, and
expired in less than five minutes.-At-

A Beautiful Toast.

On a grand day in the old chivalric
times, when the lady of each knightly
heart was pledged by name, when it
came to St. Icons turn he lifted the
sparkling cup on high and gave them
this: II drink to one," he said, whose
image never may depart, deep carven on
the human heart, till memory is dead"
With that he paused as if he would not
breathe her name in careless mood thus
lightly to another, then bent his noble
head as though to give that word the
reverence due, and gently said-"my
motherr'-London Tit-Bits.

Darger in Furnace Registers.

81 can tell you of one danger that is
generally overlooked said a friend,
land thai is in letting infammatory sub
stances fall through the register. The
other day l had a case of china unpacked
in the dining room. The box was filed
with excelsior packing, and after the
dishes had been taken out | told the
maid TO clear up the litter on the floor.
A little later came into the room and
smelled a strong odor of burning. 1t was
a very cold day, and there was hot fire
in the furnace, and as the smell seemed
to come from the register 1 lifted it en-
titely out and stuck bent poker as far
down the pipe as l could reach. With
lot of dust and rubbish l brought up a
quantity of excelsior shavings which
were distinctly scorched by the heat. 1t
was the first time that had ever thought
of the danger of 'sweepings' connected
with the open registers. New York

Sending Flowers.

Just a word or two about the packing
of flowers, facts, if you want your gift
to arrive almost as fresh as when you
picked them. If you desire to send roses,
insert the cut stems into a raw potato,
and the moisture will keep them from
whiting, while the flowers themselves
should be wrapped in wax paper. For
small blossoms, such as violets, sweet
peas or orange flowers, pack them closely
In damp moss, but never wet the flow
ers themselves. Cover always with
waxed paper, and in case you can pro-
cure tin or lightweight wooden box ii
will insure their safe arrival, as paste.

And give her warm, good night kisses
Till the closed lids break apart
As the leaves do, folding flower,
And the violets of her eyes
Look up in their drowsy fashion
And smile at me angelwise.
"Dood night" she whispers me softly
And sleepily, with kiss
That fingers with me in slumber,
And stirs my heart with bliss,

With her head against my breast,
Till my sleep is as full Of rapture
As her dreaming is Of rest.

euesses On the Presidential Vote

The guesses on the result of the pop.
ular vote in the presidential election,
made by the customers of McDougall
& Dodson, who offered ticket to the
Worlds fair TO the one coming nearest
to the result, have been opened, but it
has not yet been decided who is
the winner of the ticket. 1t lies be-
tween three competitors, two of them
j. b. Scott and j. G. McLennan, guess
sng Cleveland's plurality to be 400, 900,
and w. j. Hughes placing it at 1915, SSS.
In order TO determine which is the win
ner it Is necessary TO choose between
several different authorities as to what
the official result is. According to
Frank Leslie Cleveland's plurality is
1863 ,533. The New York World gives
it as $780, 56, and the Chicago News as
1893, 68S. According to the last of these
authorities McLennan and Scott are
tied. According to the other two w.
Hughes is the winner. 1t is
a very difficult matter to de-
termine what the result is owing to
the fusion ticket in many states. In
all the authorities above quoted there
is no material difference i'm the result
of each state. The difference i'm the
aggregates arising from different meth
DDS of applying the fusion vote. For
instance, in Louisiana the Republicans
and POpulists united on a fusion
electoral ticket. The New York World
takes the total vote cast for the ticket
and divides it in two, placing half in
the Harrison column and half in the
Weaver column. The Chicago News
places the total vote in the Weaver
column and naught in the Harrison
column.
The widest guesses made were
by two Democrats, DIR. Me-
KinnOn and DIR. Erwin. The
guessed S97 900 for Cleveland's plu-
rality, while DIR. McKinnon placed it
at 100000.

The Sort of Risks People Run Every Day
Without Getting Scared.
Why don't more people die of pneumo-
mia, quick consumption and other lung
| troubles?
That is what think every night in
upper Broadway. There you'll see a
score or two of men coming out of su-
perheated theaters between the acts to
stand in unprotected full dress around
the cold and drafty Hobbies or out on
the sidewalk for a chat or a smoke.
You'll see them at the Madison Square
garden-square acres of white shirt
front-sitting for hours in an atmos-
phere suggestive of overcoats. They
pour ont of clubhouses and hot restau-
rants at all times of the night, often in
"A dripping perspiration from exercise
and with careless or no provision against
the evils of sudden change of tempera-
ture. You can meet them on Broad
way with topcoats thrown wide open
and the chest exposed from necktie to
waistband.
Yet it is only now and then that we
know of a man who was out around
town in apparently good health the day
before yesterday who is corpse today.
There are more than thousand men
taking such desperate risks every night
during the fashionable season in New
York.
If you were to tell one of these that
he was running greater risk of sudden
death than if he were going into the
heat of an ordinary battle, he would
probably laugh at you. Yet it would
be the solemn truth.
If he were soldier going into action
it would be with blanched face and
trembling knees and silent prayer,
whereas it is now with careless mien
and fippant tongue and spirited devil
try that he dares the awful specter of
death.
If he were confined to his room with
mortal disease he would be surrounded
by his Borrowing family and anxious
friends, and his will would have been
made and duly witnessed. But being
blessed with reasonable health and man
ly strength and the sublime confidence
of ignorance, he plunges into the danger
without thought on his part or a qualm
of conscience on their part.
