1t is amusing to read In Washington

Sins of Householder
Again, In sweeping off front walks and
sidewalks, many persons persist In pushing
the DIRT into the center of the street. or into
plies along the gutter. If they would make
themselves less trouble, and be content
with sweeping the dirt loosely into the pnt
ter, letting 1t remain there as it falls over
the curbstone, the street would at all times
present a much heater appearance. and
fewer complaints would be made of dirty
streets. Nine times out of ten when the
contractor has been charged with leaving
dirt-piles in the cutters and along the
streets, investigation has fixed the blame
upon householders who entertain the erron-
eous ideas referred to relative to keeping
the street in front of their premises clean

The European Viper.

Many persons are killed by vipers on
the continent; but though Pelias berus
is widely distributed over Europe and is
generally known distinctively as the ''lit-
tie viper" the prevalent and most dan
gerous species are the long nosed and asp
vipers. Matthiole relates an instance Of
a man who was fatally bitten by half q
snake in France. An adder had been sew
cred in twain with hoe, and he unfortu-
nately picked up the business end Such
an occurrence is quite within the bounds
of credibility. 1 have seen o wretched
python which had been cut In two by q
sweep of cooly's cutlass launch itself
furiously at the man who was preparing
to give it the coup de grace and tear the
torch from his hands.
Domestic animals are not infrequently
attacked but rarely succumb to the poi

A LIVING NET.
Peculiar Method of Fishing IndulgeSa1e by
Natives of Oceanica Islands.

Peculiar Method of Fishing IndulgedhKe by
Natives of Oceanica Islands.
A peculiar method Of fishing is in
dulged in by the natives Of Tetuila, one
of the islands of Oceanica. At given sig
nal the inhabitants Of the village assemble
on the seashore, to the number of about
200 persons, each Of whom carries branch
of cocoa palm. With these in their hands
they plunge into the water, and at q Ger
tain distance from the shore turn toward
it, forming q compact half circle, each
one holding his palm branch perpendicu-
, 1arly in the water, and thus forming u
sieve.
The leader of the party then gives sig
nal, and this living net approaches the
shore gradually in perfect order, driving
before it a multitude of fishes. Surround
ed by this living wall and entangled in the
cocoa palm branches many Of the fishes
are cast on the sand by the waves, while
Others are killed with sticks. After being
cooked over hot GOALS the 1ish are served
with bananas and cocoanut milk.
The scene as described by q Frenchman
who recently visited the island was inter
esting and picturesque in the extreme, the
effect being immensely heightened ny the
appearance of the natives, whose costume
consists of short tunic of sesweed or
leaves. Their hair is powdered with chalk,
while the warriors are distinguished by
the hair being powdered red. Wreaths Of
gardenias or red hibiscus arc worn on
their heads, also round their necks.-Phn-

Color Of aIadioli.

A good idea of the variety Of color to be
found in the gladiolus may be had by eEr
aiming bed Of seedlings. 1t is pretty
generally known, says George Such Of
South Amboy, that the gladiolus does not
come true to seed, but very few realize
how many colors and shades and marking
there can be until they try in a bed of
thousand or more to find two stalks with
flowers alike. The best effect for the door
yard or lawn is produced by massing the
oolors tremendously, by using named va
rieties. In very light, sandy soil l plant
the bulbs from to 8 inches deep, accord
ing to size. If planted shallow, the new
bulb formed on top of the old one will be
too near the surface Of the ground, and the
first dry weather will check free growth
and meserially injure the towering

Church Wealth.

The wealthiest denomination in tho
United States, If we estimate denomina-
tional wealth according to the average
value of the church edifces and sites, is the
Jewish. The next is the Unitarian, the
third is the Reformed (Dutch) and the
fourth the Protestant Episcopal The aver
age value of the churches Of Reformed
Jews is S8S, $50; of the Unitarian, $24,
725; of the Reformed (Dutch), $19,227,
and of the Protestant Episcopal, SIC, 1879.
The Episcopal church is, however, much
more widely distributed than any Of the
other bodies named. The Jews are almost
entirely in the cities and the Reformed
Jews also are largely so, but the Episco-
paIians are found not only in all the larger
cities, but are represented in all the states
and territories. This fact adds to the
significance of the high average value re-
ported for its churches. Its ministers,
like those Of the Presbyterian church, are
well cared for. 1t makes no separate re-
turn for ministerial salaries.-Forum.

rapidity of the vibrations in second nee
essary to produce the desired result is, he
says, expressed by the figure 8 with IA CT

Cheap Jelly Glasses.

A cheap way to make jelly glasses is
suggested by housekeeper who never
thinks of spending penny on glass for
jelly. Take bottles of the size desired
beer bottles make splendid ones-and sat
urate a cord with coal oil; then tie it tight
around the bottle. Be sure that none of
the coal oil runs down the side Of the bot
tie. If it does, wipe it off. Touch light
ed match to the string, and the bottle will
cut in two as neatly as though made that
way. Wrap the cord three times around
right close together, and just as the shreds
drop away dash cup of cold water on the
bottle and tap the neck end with the han
die of knife.

on this subject, among which is a recent

states that the first thing to be done is to

like any other burns, etc., adding that
they are not generally dangerous. AS we

for us to express any radically different
