Attempted suicide.

Mrs. Minnie Baker tried twice un- successfully to commit suicide at the Lemon hotel on Friday night. The first attempt was by strangula- ton. This was voluntarily aban- doned because it hurt, Anxious as she was to die, she was unwilling to endure the pain which attended this method. Later in the night, or rather, early in the morning she renewed her coquetry with death by the means of a rope. The second attempt was more nearly successful, and was frustrated only by the timely appearance of an attendant. The motive was despondency. The woman has been i'll for several days and is comparatively alone in the city.
 She came here from British America several weeks ago accom- panied by her husband. They took lodgings at the Doris and Mrs. Baker fonnd employment at a Washington street restaurant. She and her husband did not get on happily.
 He went away recently to Pres colt, she sad about the time she was taken sick, and she did nor ex- pect him to return. She was com peiled oy her illness to give up her place, and a few days ago took lodg- ings at the hotel where she tried to die.-Republican.

sunlIrh, ep Paint.

An inexperienced person might think the paint on the outside of a building would soon be worn by ex- p0sure us much in one place as an- other, says Maine brush handler, but that is not true. Exposure to the weather injures paint but very little. It is the sunlight that doee the b0siness, though of course the winds and rains assist it. Wherever the onn's rays strike 6 painted surface in the middle of the day, the life of the paint is very soon destroyed, and it c1umbles away, We house painters always find the south side of build ing Ill the worst condition, and the north side the least worn. The west side, receiving us it does the force of the dry winds, is always more worn than the east side. Another point may be worth your readers knowing. Frequently inexperienced persons are sold old lead by the dealers-Or that in which the oil has 'fatted.' When they try to use it, it will run or tIlckle town the walls They don't know what ailsit and generally don't know what to do with it. They should avoid getting such stock, but if they do get 1t, if they will add little ker- osene instead of linseed oil, they will find it works very well. Lewiston Journal.

HIS NAME NOT NEEDED.
Mine HSst and AiaGs,amc Knew Him Only hy thc Number of Iils Chair.

Mine HSst and AiasiRmo Knew Him OnIY hy
 thc Number of Iils Chair.
 Tor tho past five years, said an observing man, T have been taking most Of my luneheons at little Ger nan restaurant in the Swamp and my dinners at little French restau. rant up town. During all that tine I have s.sid 'Guten tag to my Cor man host and Bon soir' to madame. Occasionally we have exchanged re, marks about tho weather and have in other ways gwen evidence of mu- tud esteem. Yet neither of them knows my name.
 ", ncn l first won't to the Ger mans wondered how he kept an account of my indebtedness. I sat ct a long table with 20 others and or dered what I wanted. There were only two walters. and they had half a dczen tables to attend to, while the psoprietor tended bar and acted ns cashier. When l finished my meal, ! called for my check and was direct ed t0 tho proprietor. He glanced at Q lstle slate and told me what owed. As was Q stranger, as my order had not been written down and as he had not even seen me Gt the table, could not see how he had identified me or how inc could tell what l had had. Later learned that each chair was numbered, and the walters would bawl out to him as they gave an or der to the kitchen the number of the chSir to which that order belonged as. for instance; 'Roast chicken and lettuce salad. No. g. Consequently ali tho diners were known simply by the number of the chairs they hap pened 10 occupy. l might be No. 1 one day and No. 30 the next. My name was not required.
 At madames the system was sim liar. There checks were used, out she identified them only by the mum bens of the tables to which they re- fcrred. Recently l noticed in the garden, which IS utilized in summer, that numbers had been painted on the posts against which the tables are placed. This Is new departure.
 Tt is not altogether agreeable to my vanity to have my identity thus disguised and belittled as though l were a convict or a South African diamond miner. but as long as the excellence of the cooking and service is maintained suppose must not grumble. New York Sun.
