A2oLIsHING THE PEERS.

The impending abolition OF the House
OF Lords Was again announced In the
cable news from England last week.
and We are at II loss to account for this
reappeaiance OF this venerable item,
whenever news Is scarce we expect the
cable to be occupied with an announce
ment that the House of Lords is going
to be wiped out. When yacht races are
on and war news Is looked for, the
Peers are usually allowed To enjoy their
hereditary prerogative undisturbed.
WIN the Peers are abolished Il will,
be time enough to give the news: also
when the leopard changes his spots or
the Ethiop his skin. If John Bull ever
had any idea OF depriving himself OF his
dearly beloved Peers he has abandoned
1t under the conviction that II Is better
TO endure the Peers he has than fee TO
others such as make up the Senate Of
the United States.

YONKERs. Aug. CA well-dressed,
iine-mannered young man, who intro
duced himself as Walter e. Living

Westchester Club, victimiZed a number
of prominent residents OF Yonkers last
week out ot small amounts OF money.
He called at the residence OF Mr..
George, in South Broadway, and in
Guired for DR. Flagg, who lives next
door. The young man was so informed
by DIR. Flagg's sister. and was also in
formed that the doctor was away. The
Young man appeared to be disappointed
when told that Dr. Flagg was away He
explained that in changing his clothes In
the, morning before leaving home he
had left all his money in the pockets OF
another suit. and that he had an en-
gagement TO play polo at the club, and
wanted to borrow q dollar from the doc
tor. who he said he knew. Miss FiaEg
loaned him the dollar. which he said
he would return the next day.
Since then II has been found that he
told the same story TO various neigh

TO PREVENT STRIKES.

The National Commission now in Chi
cago investigating the recent strike IL
| paying great deal OF attention to the
| question OF preventing or averting strikes
In the future. and is incidentally acquir-
Ing a small modlcum of Information on
the methods used In the past.
The great corporations. who are the
chief sufferers by strikes, appear to he
interested in the work OF prevention only
after the strike IL over. Then their first
tardy remedy is to pardon the rank and
file OF the men, but to blacklist the lead
ers. That Is to say, the men who
have taken a prominent part in an at
tempt to improve the condition of the
workingman are to be treated as Grim
inais.
This remedy is ineffective for the sim
pie reason that the leaders are nearly
always good workmen. and escape the
consequences Of their crime by getting
employment elsewhere.
The only other solution OF the strike
difficulty presented by the corporations
Is the prescription of labor unions. This
has been frequently tried. but IL mani
testify impracticable. Small employers of
labor may succeed in getting along with
only non-union men. but 1t IL not in the
power Of the great corporations to prevent
the forming Of unions. They might as well
try to have their men distran chised by
law for Joining a union as to prescribe
them by edlct.
The methods adopted to prevent
strikes have been lamentable failures.

bathroom Fixtures.

A fixture of the model bath room Is a
Weighing scales. Manufacturers submit
designs on application, the machine be-
ing adapted to the space at hand. Aside
from utility, the enamelled iron and
polished steelyard is quite ornamental.
The fashion of painting the bathtub
has spread all round the room, and now
the walls are hung in sanitary or tile
paper, vanished, and the floor, wood
work, mirrors, washstand. demi-baths
and linen cases are done in ivory. That
these dainty toilet-rooms have a refin-
ing influence there is not the slightest

duty and an honor to uphold and elevate them.
Time and again we are assailed with letters
from would-be critics condemning women for any
little falling they may possess. or that these
critics imagine they possess. Much more to their
credit would It be did they extol their good quail
ties and endeavor to make them objects OF admira-
tion instead OF advising their fellow men to be-
ware OF them as II they were dangerous animals

In connection with the question Of I" Where did

readers to know where mention can be found Of
Adams children. other than those named in the
Bible.
Keatins's History Of ireland, published in Irish
about the year 1900. and which is more a collec-
ton Of old Irish legends than a history. mentions

Irish readers have the volume handy. don't
give Heating as an authority on the subject, but
am sure he did not invent them himself
There must have been some writings bearing on
the matter and It is only natural to suppose that
a couple who lived to the good old age OF our
first parents would have had more children than
those mentioned in the Old Testament. In those
old days. before family ties existed, as they now
do. marriage with ones relations was not looked
at in the same way that It is now. We have had

Burning Gas and Fresh Air.

Air In a living-room is made impure
by breathing and by burning gas. One
gas-jet consumes as much air as eleven
persons. Those nervous people who are
in the habit Of going to bed with the
gas lit as protection against bur-
glars should not neglect the windows,
for in three-quarters of an hour the gas
will spoil as much fresh air as would
do a man the whole night. An ordinary
individual uses gallon Of pure air
every minute; one gas burner uses elev-
en- gallons a minute. No matter what
the weather may be, have the window
open while the lights are burning to let
the impure air out and pure air into the

had taken from man made he woman and

their names Adam In the day when they were

People are out of sorts in the morning,
and a dainty breakfast is something for
a cure. The daintiness consists, for the
most part, in attention to details. Have
cloth clean. the dishes bright. the butter
hard, the water cold, the coffee hot, the
cream cold, cold tea or the milk boiling
hot. A bit Of mint or parsley will make
almost any prepared dish tempting, and
little cracked Ice adds 80 per cent. to

lie, hyssop, parsley chives, chervil. bor-
age. sage, marjoram, mint, tarragon.
thyme, &c; these are all useful, not only
in actual cookery. but for all manner
of drinks and vinegars. The leaves Of all
these plants should be stripped from the
stalks and put away in tin boxes; they
should be kept free from damp. The es-
sentially primitive country plan Of tying
UP the sprigs in loose punches and hang
ing them up to the ceiling in the kitchen.
or even the living rooms, may be excel

advantage that a good deal Of dust and
