Care of Curtains and Portieres.

When any cleaning or sweeping is in
progress, the heavy curtains and por-
there's should be removed and after being
thoroughly brushed and shaken should
be allowed to hang in the air until the
rooms are cleaned and ready for their
return Heavy hangings will absorb the
odor from cigar smoke or from any food
which may be cooking, and the greatest
care should therefore be taken that they
be kept well aired The doorway cur
tains may be SO easily removed and
placed in position again that there
should be no excuse for any unpleasant
odor being attached to them. james

A prominent young man of this city

Strange Captivity,

The springbok of South Africa mi
CRATE in vast herds, moving in a COM
pact body and carrying everything be-
fore them. If a flock of sheep be in the
line of march-as 1t sometimes happens
it is surrounded, enveloped and be-
comes, willingly or unwillingly, part Of
the army. An African hunter tells the
strange story Of seeing lion in the
midst of the antelopes, forced to join
the march. 1t is supposed that the lion
had sprung too far for his prey, that
those upon whom he alighted recoiled
sufficiently to allow him to reach the
ground, and then the pressure from both
fianks and the rear prevented him from
escaping from his strange captivity.
If the springbok travels in such ar
mics, how can those in the middle and
rear find food? In this wise: Those in
the front ranks, after they have eaten
greedily Of the pasture, gradually fall
out of the ranks to rest, while the hun
cry ones in the rear come up and SO the
columns are all the while changing. =

A Desirable Place.

Wewere seated in fairly filled third
class carriage not timed to make stop
page for an hour or SO, and during the
first half of this period one Of the pas
sengers, very excitable and withal
voluble individual, loudly inveighed
against things in general and the places
he happened to have visited in particu-
lar. All at once quiet and sedate old
gentleman, who had up to then sat 81
lently in one corner, remarked:
''How would you like to live in a
place where no one drank any intoxicat-
ing liquor or even smoked a cigar?''
'It would be excellent, :" replied the
grumbler.
"And where every one went to church
on Sundays?'
''That would be delightful place
"And where no one stole or forged or
cheated?'
''But such place is impossible. Tell
me, where is there such perfect placer"
"You will find it in any of her maj
esty's prisons" was the quiet reply,
and the grumbler was silent for the re-

THE NEXT legislature will be obliged to close up the business of the territory and prepare for statehood. It should be composed of level headed, practical business men. This is one of the reasons why Henry Kemp should be elected to the council and IS one of the reasons why both Democrats and Re- publicans will vote for him. It is not a question of politics, but a matter of cold business for the voters of the county to decide.

The Novel Treatment Undergone by In-
 vaiids in Italy.
 There is nothing particularly entic- ing in the sound of mud baths, and those who have tried them at Homburg and other places find them not agree able as experiences, however efficacious they may be as treatment. At most spas the process is simply that of pour ing mud into ones bath, but at some Italian baths to which the fashionably sick are turning, traveller, who has taken them, finds that they are quite different. The mud. in a very hot and almost dry form, much of the consist ence of brick clay, is applied locally to those parts of the body which are af- fected. The patient lies on straw bed, on which is placed a sheet. The attendant having ascertained the sui fering parts, daubs them to the thick ness of several inches with the mud. The invalid, covered with hot sheet or blankets, lies for half an hour, per spring freely, then gets into hot sul- phur bath, is thoroughly cleansed, rubbed dry, and returns to bed arti- ficially warmed, where the precipitation continues for an hour or so longer. This treatment is repeated almost every morning for about twenty days, and is of great value in all manifesto tions of rheumatism. The mud is dug out of a mountain few miles from the spa and brought to the establishment and allowed to soak for several years in tanks of boiling sulphur water until reouired for use

FOREST RESERVES.
The Government Becoming Interested in
 the Important Question.

The Government Becoming Interested in
 the Important Question.
 The acton of the federal government in setting apart certain large tracts of the public forest lands in the west as reserves" was outlined recently in these columns. Likewise, the value of these vast forests was referred to in their relation to the great irrigating systems of the west and their utility in supplying future timber demands. As therein remarked, the mere creating of these reserves was but an incomplete measure, unless some permanent sys- tenn of federal forestry was also soon adopted. At present the reserves are under the control of the land office of the department of the interior, subject only to such limited care as it's agents can bestow, which is slight.
 Last summer the army was sought by the secretary of the interior for details to protect from depredations some of the reserves. The acting judge advo cate gave an opinion thatit was not law ful to employ troops upon such duty un- less expressly directed by congress. Under this decision it seems that the details that have hitherto guarded, ex- cept during the winter months, the Yellowstone, Yosemite, Sequoia and Gen. Grant parks will be withheld this year.
 A bill now before congress in refer ence to the public forests authorizes the secretary of war to furnish details of troops upon requisition of the secre- tary of the interior to protect these reservations. But why not carry the subject step further, as has been sug- gested by forest advocates, and reach the heart of the question? Substitute bill placing the public forests that are withdrawn from public entry by settlers absolutely under the control of the army Commence at the begin ming and make forestry department at West Point, with portion of the conveniently situated highlands as an experimental station. Provide for as- signing portion of the graduates of the academy each year to command a specially enlisted forestry guard to carry out a system of scientific and practical forestry upon these reserva- tions. It is ventured to predict, the more this plan is considered the more one will find in it simple and logical solution of a pending vital question. II furnishes a new field of activity to the army; it insures fidelity to the national interests. It would give permanency and capability at once to the forestry system.

it would be difficult matter to drain off this stagnant water, as the depres- sions were made by the use of the com mon road scraper, but in every case it should be done, even if it becomes nee essary to resort to underdraining. In most cases, however, the object is ac- complished by trench dug along the side of the road, leading to a lower level, or putting in sluice, thereby emptying the water to the opposite side, where often the natural lay of the land quickly drains off the surplus water. Allowing water to stand by the side of roadbeds is not only un- slightly, but positively detrimental and injurious to the road, as by capillary attraction the soil comprising the roadway is continually soaked The topsoil may be dry, but underneath is damp and soggy, allowing heavy loads to deeply rut the driveway.-American Agriculturist.

EVERY LITTLE HELPS.


 Mississippi Republicans have been split for some time, but they are now reconclled. Democrats poke fun at the Republicans in the south, but in every southern as well as northern state 8 strong Republican organization worries the Democrats and results in their spending money to fight it.
 Even in the solid south where there seems to be little chance for victory Republicans should effect sound organi- cations and make good fights to educate the people.
 Knowledge of how Democrats run things is what defeats that party. Campaigns educate the people.

SOUTHERN TRADE.

During the general depression of the past year the prosperity of several points down south has been remarked. Perhaps no one place has evinced such a rapid increase of trade as the old con- seryative blow paced town of Mobile. For example the new business of inn porting tropic fruits has grown from about fifty thousand branches of ba nanas per month to some two hundred thousand cocoa nuts pan hundred thousand up to near one million; or anges, lemons, pine apples, plantation increased in proportion.
 Alabama ranking as the fifth state in coal production and Tennessee next the most of the output finds it's way to Mobile which is from 91 to 19S miles nearer to the great southern mineral belt and connected by water navigation closer than any part on the Atlantic. Over five million tons of coal was delivered there in 1893 valued at the mines some five million dollars or one dollar per ton-and no better coal is found anywhere for delivery on steamers.
