REOPENING THE HOUSE.

Much serious illness would be avsrted
in the autumn if people more commonly
understood necessary precautions when
re-opening closed house. After sum-
mer spent largely out of doors in active
exercise and in bracng atmosphere
there is always some depression in re-
Stunning city methods of living. Reae-

it would naturally seem to be toned and
braced up, yields to enervating infuen-

ders why there should be these diseases,
attacking these people. and at this par
ticular period.
Yet the answer is not difficult nor far
fetched. A shut-up house, even with
our most perfect modern plumbing, is in
danger of enclosing the germs of disease.
Granted that the greatest care was taken
to leave it pure, it is still at the mercy of
that malignant and insidious poison
sewer-gas, at time when no water runs
through the pipes and for weeks no fresh
air is admitted.
First, before the family come to stay
open every window at top and bottom
and leave them open for hours. Thor
oughly sun the rooms, if you can, as well
as air them. Sunshine is fatal to pois-
onous germs. Have the house swept
with great care, scrupulously getting
rid of the summer dust. Burn all dust
and dirt, thus effectually disposing of it.
Clean the cellar and have it white
washed. Flush all the basins in the
house with pure running water, and
unless in the midst of drought, do not
try to economic in this direction. Use
water freely in every bath-tub, basin,
and closet. Ii there is any apparent
leak or any slowness in the flow of the

Great Men and Their Cats.

1t is curious fact that many noted
men have been partial to cats. Apropos
Of this, Harper's Young People says:
"Petrarch had his cat embalmed;
Rousseau shed genuine tears over the
loss of his; DR.. johnson, sometimes
called the Great Bear nursed his cat
day and night during it's illness. and
went himself for oysters to tempt it's ap-
petite; Southey raised one of his cats to
the peerage, with the high sounding
title of Earl of Tomlemague, Baron
Raticide, Waowlher, and Skaratchi. To
Napoleon however, cats were mortal
error. just after the battle of Wagram
an aide de camp, upon entering the EN-
peror's room, saw him half undressed,
with protruding eyes and perspiring
forehead, making frequent lunges with
sword at the tapestry around the
room. In explanation he said there was
cat behind the tapestry, and that he
had hated cats from his very infancy.
He had crossed the bridge at Lodi with
sublime courage, yet quivered with ex-
citement and terror over the presence of
a cat"

was required to select the twenty five
illustrious men Of letters, statues and
busts of whom are to adorn the new Con-
gressional library.
Mr.. Spofford is quoted by William E.
Curtis, Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record, as saying that he
has selected those he conceives to be the
greatest writer's the world has produced
basing his judgment upon the extent to
which their works have been reprinted
and re ad. The great reading room is the
most conspicuous feature of the interior.
Its decoration makes provision for eight
groups, illustrating the several forms of
the literary art, and under the emblem
atical designs are inches for sixteen
statues. The subjects for these Mr..
Spoford has selected as follows:
Poetry-Homer-a and Shakespeare.
Art-Angelo and Beethoven.
Standardization and Henry.
History Herodotus and Gibbon.
Philosophy-Plato and Bacon.
Commerce Columbus and Fulton.
Law-Solon and Blackstone.
Religion-St. Paul and Moses.
On the exterior of the building are
inches for nine busts, and the subjects
selected for those are Franklin, Demos
themes, Dante, Irving. Macaulay, Sir
Walter Scott, Emerson, Hawthorne, and
Goethe. The work of producing these
statues and busts has been entrusted to
a committee consisting of Mr.. j. O. A.
Ward, Mr.. Augustus st. Gaudens, and
Mr.. Adams, who are to assign each sub
ject to the sculptor they think will be
able to do it bes'.

the judgment of one of the best informed
men of today.-Voice.

Peace on Earth.

In Europe today 100000 men. the
physical flower of the Continent, have
been drilling, marching and counter
marching, practicing at targets, learn
ing the use Of bayonet and sabre, and
performing as nearly as possible in sham
fights the evolutions of actual war. It
was SO yesterday and last year, and
through all the yesterdays of twenty
years. Seven times during this period
has the personnel of this vast host been
renewed; consequently there are now
about 100000 Europeans not yet be-
yond middle life who have been trained
to the fighters profession, and who could
at briefest notice take their place in the
active army or in the reserve.
Every city has it's barracks and par
ade grounds, every frontier frowns with
a double row of Notifications. At the
end of the nineteenth century Europe,
from the Douro to the Don, is camp,
wherein ten times 100000 OF her able
bodied men are bivouacking, ready at a
sign to spring to arms and slay each
other.

TEACHING POINTS.

a. V. 2o-a3 The scene of the delivery of the
Sermon on the Mount is easily made picturesquely
attractively.-Such great thoughts of such uni.
versal application, seem appropriately spoken in the
open air, under the dome of the sky.-The one
thing which Jesus regarded as blessedness was the
spiritual life. In the degree that poverty makes
souls spiritual in the degree that hunger makes one
realize deeper need in his soul in the degree that
affection causes the heart to yield its selfish hold
the world; in the degree that persecution makes God
dearer there is bessedness in deprivation in suffer-
ing, in bereavement, in being outcast. These evils
however are not good in themselves, They are
good, specially good, only as they promote spir-
itual life in the soul.
~ V. z4-26. The worldly good on which Jesus
pronounces woe is that which detracts from the life
Of the soul Riches when the heart is set on them
pleasure when the heart is lost in its pursuit and the
Father is forgotten; popularity when gained at the
sacrifice of conviction by suppressng or betraying
the truth,-must all entail woe. This is in plain

INTRODUCTION.

The form of the preaching of Jesus
was essentially Jewish. The Oriental
mind does not work in the same way as
the mind of the West. Our thinking and
speaking, when at their best, are fluent,
expansive, closely reasoned. The kind of
discourse which we admire is one which
takes up an important subject, divides it
out into different branches, treats it fully
under each of the heads, closely articulates
part 10 part, and closes with moving APP
peal to the feelings, SO as to sway the will
to some practical result. The Oriental
mind, on the contrary, loves to brood long
on single point, turn it round and round,
to gather up all the truth about it in a
focus, and pour it forth in few pointed
and memorable words. 1t is concise, cpl
grammatic, oracular. A Western speak
er's discourse is like a chain in which
link is firmly knit to link; an ORR
entails is like the sky at night, full of in
Vulnerable burning points shining forth
from dark background Such was
the form of the teaching of Jesus. 1t con-
sisted of numerous sayings, every one of
which contained the greatest possible
amount of truth in the smallest possible
compass, and was expressed in language
so concise and pointed as to stick in the
memory like an arrow. Read them. and
you will find that every one of them, as
you ponder it, sucks the mind in and in
like whirlpool, till it is lost in the depths.
You will find too that there are very few
of them which you do not know by heart.
They have found their way into the men,
DRY of Christendom as no other words have
done. Even before the meaning has been
apprehended, the perfect, proverb-like ex-
preston lodges itself fast in the mind

WHO ARE THE GREATEST?

If you were asked to name the great
est four modern statesmen, whom woula
you mention? Probably you and nine
tenths of the intelligent Americans of
toaay would say Washington, Lincoln,
Gladstone and Bismarck, but the judg-
ment of history may be different.
The question of relative greatness is
not often practical one, but it has as
sumed a very practical phase in the
mind of Mr.. Ainsworth r. Spofford, the
well known librarian of Congress, who

(S9 v.a7-3I. The statement OF the aggressive
principles of the kingdom of heaven is but model
ing of human life after the Fathers example. Inc
requirement of such universal love as will include
ones enemies, is confessedly high. To be above re-
taliation; to be forbearing and torgving; 70 De
actively helpful toward even the unworthy, the
social sponges, the graceless tramps,-this is not
easy. Some say such course Of life is impossible
of realization But it is surely fashioned after the
Fathers example 1t is Christ-like. TO give the

pgvorIon OF A HUSBAND.
Untimely End OF DR.. Dokitsch, Preside
of King kIexander's nTfnfstrv

Untimely End OF DR.. Dokitsoh, President
Of King k~lexander's Ministry.
Deep and widespread is the regret in
Servia at the untimely death Of DR.. Do
kitsch, the young president of the min
istry under King Alexander after his
recent assumption Of full power. It was
a heroic death, however, for DR.. Do.
kitsch, whom many Of his countryman
considered the most promising man of
his time, met his end through his devo-
ton to his wife. The romance Of his
life had already endeared him to his
people.
When a student a few years ago in
Belgrade, Dokitsch, one Of the most bril-
liant men at the university, saw q girl
pass the house in which he lived. She
was poorly clad, and her appearance
proved that she had come from a power
ty stricken home. But the beauty of
her face and her kind eyes impressed the
young man. He learned her name later
and found that she was a seamstress,
the main support of her family. De-
spite their difference in rank, he fell
deeply in love with the girl and asked
her to be his wife. Soon after his grad
uation he became professor of law at the
university and prominent in politics,
aud then led her to the altar.
But the young wife was already af-
hicted with consumption, and the disease
o 0 made rapid progress. Naturally Of
a melancholy disposition, she became
Respondent. Then came the hope in
spring message from Berlin that Profess
or Robert Koch had discovered a cure for
tuberculosis. DR.. Dokitsch endeavored
to induce his wife to go to the German
capital, but the young woman was con-
WINGED that her case was hopeless and
declined to carry out his wishes. He
tried to raise her spirits and prove that
her condition was not dangerous. BE
gave up his work, spent almost every
moment of his time with her, drank
from her glass and tried in other ways
to convince her that he had no fear of
her life or the disease. The Koch cure
was tried, but in vain, and Nine. Do.
kitsch died.
The coup d'etat came and the professor
was summoned to the highest Office I'M
der the young King Alexander. But he
had contracted consumption by his de-
votion to his wife, and his constitution
was undermined. A few months ago he
had become so weak that he was com
PEELED to resign, much to the regret of
his king. He sought relief in vain, and a
few days ago the people of Belgrade heard
with sorrow that he was dead. The
cause Of his untimely end was known,
and hundreds Of people who never knew
him in life followed him to the grave

California boasS Of number Of wom-
en- farmers who manage large estates,
make money and keep healthy and hap
py. The comforts of farm life here are
greater than they are in the east, and
there is a possibility Of gaining more
than a mere living. Some Of the wom-
en- farmers have won more than mere
local fame. Mrs. Thsodosia Shepherd
of Ventura is known in the cast as a
%cultivator Of California flower seeds and
bulbs. Mrs. Strong is known far and
wide as tho woman who makes a good
income by raising and selling pampas
grass. Mrs. E. p. Buckingham of Va
caville is an orchardist whose fruit
commands the highest price in eastern
markets.
Another successful agriculturist is
Mrs. Georgia Mcbride. A dozen years
ago she was au invalid, a widow, poor,
with four boys to bring mp. She knew
nothing Of fruit raising, but with FEM
mime recklessness she purchased 39 acres
OF land near San Jose and set it out as
IN orchard. Now she is prosperous,
healthy and wealthy. as the wage earn
ers go, and an enthusiastic advocate Of
farming for women.-San Francisco

Some Things which Puzzle the Average
Citizen Of Sc. Louis.
In view Of the great reduction Of the
price of -four within the last year, a
great many people have wondered why
bread continues 10 be sold for 8 cents q
loaf and the loaf not p~erceptibly in
creased. The reduction in the price Of
flour between Dec. 1, 1892, and Nov.
20, 1898, according to the official quota
lions was as follows Patent, last year,
1886 and 49, 5 this year, So 90 and SO. 10.
Extra fancy. last year, SS.05 and S3.15;
this year, S2.65 and $2.75. Fancy, last
year, $2.5 and 81. 90; this year, $2.20and
$3.50. Lower grades, last year, from g.
to $2.35, and about the same at present.
Now, these are the prices at which bak-
ers and retailers buy -four. and while
reasonable people onot expect to derive
the whole Of an advantage that amounts
to almost 25 per cent. they do expect to
get some benefit in the increase in size Of
loaves. Such advantage has not been
theirs. On the contrary, while the loaves
have not increased in size OF the price
been reduced, many householders declare
that never before have the poor qualities
in the commercial bread been so con-
spicuous. The only explanation that
the bakers and -four dealers can give is
the reduced sales Of -four in large lots.
The bakers say that since the reduc-
ton people have taken to baking their
W bread to an extent not hitherto
known to the trade since commercial
bread became the fashion. This prac-
tice Of making bread at home has large
ly reduced sales to retailers, and while
the latter get some reduction in price
they say that the decrease in the sales
has been so great that they cannot afford
to share that advantage with their Gus
toners. But this does not explain the
almost universal poor quality Of the
bread at the present time, and the gro
GERS are silent when they are questioned
upon the subject.-St. Louis Republic.

THE blackguardly and infamous
libel made by the Albuquerque
Democrat which has created such
Indignation among our people is
we'll answered by the Albuquerque
Citizen as follows:
A hbellous, outrageous attack
was made by the Democrat this
morning upon the character of a
young married lady, formerly resid-
ing on north Third street, but now
in Silver City. The reputation Of
a gentleman, formerly with the ex-
press company, now in trouble, is
brought prominently into question,
and the writer, who has not yet
acquainted himself with the city or
people here, proceeds to blacken
tho characters of both. The Citi-
zen has never heard it limited of
any wrongdoing on the part of the
lady, who was modestand unassum-
ing at all times on the streets, and
therefore this paper assumes that
the article was published purely
for sensational reasons, regardless
of the great injury it would do, not
only to the two most interested,
but the stigma cast on other mem
bers Of their families. The hus-
band, it is true, was formerly in
the employ of Wells-Fargo, but he
was dismissed and then followed a
bitter feeling between he and the
gentlemen whom the article claims
was intimate with his wife. This
alone proves that the writer was
misguided in his Investigations, for
the wife is attached to her husband
and could not tolerate his enemy.
The article goes ON and says that
the house occupied by the lady was
handsomely and richly furnished,
Oh by the proceeds derived from
the Wells-Fargo gentleman, but
those who visited the wife and her
mother state that the house con-
tanned the plainest furniture. IL is
true that the wife and her mother
were in a depressed financial con-
dition, but they were honorable
and, with the assistance of two
brothers and Sous, we're gradually
wiping out their Indebtedness it is
true that an attachment was run
on the furniture late yesterday
afternoon, and 10 order to prevent
any trouble the money due was
promptly paid over to the con
stable who served the papers.
Not satisfied with doing the
greatest injury TO a pure wife, the
Democrat brings in the name OF
her sister, also q married lady who
was here a visitor from Silver
City.
Ia conclusion, it would be wise
FOR the colonel 10 remain at his Of
fee and read over what copy is
turned IN by his employees. II
would save him considerable
trouble. Albuquerque Citizens
The ladies referred 10 are ven
known and highly respected here
where they have been brought MP
and where many Of their relatives
live.

the country show Sol 900 unemployed

upon whom 1856, 900 persons depend for

This makes a total Of 2,757, 900 persons
without visible means Of support in
