The necessity of discontinuing the use of steam motors on streets passing un- der iron railroad bridges Is emphasized by the corrosion of the West Van Buren street viaduct in Chicago. The lower edges of girders, beams and stringers have been so affected by the action of locomotive smoke and gases that the structure broke down under the load which it was designed to carry. The metal was 50 badly eaten that holes could be made in the beams with a ham, mer The dangerous condition of the bridge was recently discovered and was somewhat surprising. as the viaduct had been in use only few years.

Professor Huxley is of the opinion that the doctrine of biblical infalli- bility. once widely held and still de- tended by many persons of unimpeach- able piety. a few of learning, and even some of intelligence" can hardly now produce champion whose competency and authority would be recognized be- yond the limits of the sect or theologi- cal coterie to which he belongs. The doctrine of plenary inspiration has given place to doctrine of "inspira- tion with limited liability" and the limit is "susceptible of indefinite fluctuation in correspondence with the demands of scientific criticism"

Taking a TeIephone to Bed.

A doctors profession requires him, if
he seeks convenience and comfort, to
have two telephones-one i'll his Office
and one in his bedroom. As any one
who has to pay tribute to the telephone
companies knows, their charges hardly
represent the progress that has been
made in other lines in the world in
cheapening commodities. But necessity
is the mother of invention, and doc
tor in the east end found a way to
have the convenience of two telephones
and yet only pay for one. He has his
telephone hung upon hooks i'll his office,
the connections being made by the tele-
phone coming in contact with an cleo
trio board which he has had constructed.
He also has wires run to his bedroom,
where another electric board has been
placed The doctor may be said to take
his telephone to bed with him every
night. He takes it from the hooks i'll his
Office, carries it under his arm up to his
bedroom and places it upon the hooks
there Should any calls come during the
night, he can answer them without
leaving his room, thereby getting tho
use of two telephones for the price Of

The Cowboy and the Folding Bed.

A cowboy up from the Texas panhan-
die was a guest at the house, and as
the clerk who attended to him is still in
Denver we will allow him to tell the
story in his own way: ''He had on
store clothes and a red necktie, and
what he didn't know wasn't worth
knowing When he started up to his
room at night, told him there was a
folding bed i'll it, and, if he wished, the
bellboy would show him how it worked.
But not much. He didn t want to be
shown anything. He knew thing or
two about the city, he did, even if he
did live down on the range.
$50 l let him go, and next morning
he paid his bill without word and
went away About noon I happened to
be Oh that floor, and chambermaid
called me to take look in his room.

CARE OF THE REFRIGERATOR.-T
refrigerator needs special care during
the warm weather. Every housekeep
er should personally see that it is kept
perfectly clean. 1t is good plan, says
the New York World, to keep a small
dish of powdered charcoal on one of
the upper shelves of the refrigerator,
as it All excellent absorbent of odors.
1t should be changed every few days.
Food that has little odor itself and
food that absorbs Udors readily should
be placed at the bottom of the refrig
orator. All foods with Il strong odor
shonld be kept on the top shelves. Sour
milk Or cream should not be kept in
the refrigerator. Salad dressings. tar
tar sauce and celery should be covered
closely or they will flavor everything
that is shut up with them Pineapple,
Strawberries and raspberries should not
be shut into common ice chest with
milk or cream.
In the refrigerator where there is a
circulation of dry air, butter, milk,
cream and other delicate foods may be
kept in the lower part of the refrigera-
tor, and the fruits, vegetables, etc,
with stronger flavors and odors may be
kept on the top shelves. If arranged
in this way there will be little danger
that one kind of food will absorb the
flavor or odor of another.

Good Advice of an Engineer Regarding

Nine persons out of every ten with a
cinder or any foreign substance in the

handkerchief with the other. They

Tending cinder, but more frequently
they rub until the eye becomes infam-
ed, bind a handkerchief around the
head ana go to bed This is all wrong
The better way is not to rub the eye
with the cinder in at all, but rub the
other eye as vigorously as you like.
A few years since | was riding on the
engine of fast express. The engin-
eer threw open the front window, and

HuntingtOn's Advice.

One always likes to have the advice
of successful men who know what they
are talking about and are not mere
theorists. We have seen no advice
better than that of G. P. Huntington
to boys.
In a recent address at San Francisco
the millionaire railway magnate said:
when / was a boy | earned and say
ed in one year by the most rigid econ
omy, $84, and at the end of that year
was as | have ever been since. Start
two young men upon the road of life.
and if one earns $75 the first year and
saves $50 of it, and the other earning
the same amount saving nothing, it
seems an easy problem to figure out
the probable difference at the end of
twenty years. Nothing is more sur
prising than the result, for while in
the second instance the twenty years
produce no growth, in the first case
the habit of economy and of saving
the pennies becomes the most finely
tempered tool in his possession. and
the growing capital becomes u servant
that from child grows into giant
for his masters advancement.
Nearly all of the great merchants
OF New York city commenced as boys
without other advantages than habits
of health, industry and frugality. They
were not sticklers for scale of wages
but were ready to take the work that
lay nearest them; and they put SO
much of energy and Intelligence into
their early work that their capa bilities
were quickly recognized and rewar ded
by promotion. 1t is by such men that
great industries are built up and great
cities established The beginnings
seem small, but they are like the little
rivulet, which. springing from the
mountain side, pushes its way persis-
tently and steadily onward, checked it
may be every now and then by OBJ
stacles, but waiting patiently until it
can surmount them. gathering new
stores from every side, until at last it
becomes mighty river. And SO with
men. If as a boy he starts in life with
the motto that anything that ought
to be done can be done,'" all the time
taking the work nearest to him, and
while doing that, watching out for
something better and higher, he will
find that there are but a few things
that he cannot accomplish between his
boyhood and the three score and ten
years allotted to human life"

APPENDICITIS.-Ap prominent doctor
who has performed a score OF success
full operations fer the removal of that
troublesome and inexplicable part of
the human anatomy, the vermiform
appendix, says the general impression
that appendicitis is caused by the pres
ence in the appendix of a cherry stone
Or a currant seed or seed of any kind
is entirely erroneous. People who
have heard about appendicitis have
given up the luxury of small fruit in
fear of appendicitis, and some of the
extremely sensitive ones have even
been constantly worried lest some seed
that they have swallowed in the past
might give them this disease. II have
not found seed in the appendix of a
single one of my cases." he said. "A
small bit of digested matter gets into
the little sac, if the neck of it is open
far enough to receive it. 1t may re,
main there for years and cause no
trouble, and then again it may bring
on appendicitis almost lmme diately
Where the patient is in good health, in
four cases out of five the operation for
removing the appendix is successful

Anecdotes of Parrots.

Why parrots have been fated to be
made the heroes of so many strange tales
it is puzzling to say. but the fact re-
mains. We all remember the cheeky
bird at the parrot show who, uncovet-

placed his head knowingly on one side

ter this morning-offer of marriage for
Polly" And there was another gray
friend of my youth who would entreat
the cook for dinner in the tenderest
terms and swear like a hundred troop
ers if not attended to.
We have all heard the tale of the
publican s parrot who was pumped on
for proclaiming that the beer had gone
sour and remarked to the cat, on seeing
that quadruped march i'll dripping wet,
"Your beers gone souri," The last of
the series of parrot stories that has
reached me is that of a large green bird
who seemed somewhat slow of speech,
and who SO provoked his master by his
stupidity that that young gentleman,
who was trying to teach his bird to vel

church was demolished by mob. One
Christian, whether foreigner or native

Zone afternoon while Twas in charge
of the rear guard on march in Vir
ginia number of men dropped out of

the applejack' hunters in charge. On

was over small rise of ground, so that
one could not see very far along its
