How tO Make a Dolls House.

Get a wooden box for about quarter of dollar and put the lid on hinges, and when the box is stood on end this lid opens, forming the door or side of the house. Two shelves are fitted ill for floors and four holes cut for windows on each foor These are filled in with window glass found about the house. The out side of tho house is painted a warm yell low, with white around the windows The walls are covered with old blue cartridge paper, with a friezo of pale yellow roses and olive pattern on the second story. Books and samples are of- ten given away by dealers ill wall pa- per. If paper is not to be had without all outlay, cover the walls with pale tinted silesia or cambric with a little frill at the top. Fasten to tho wall with tacl1s. Then add little curtains of lace or cheesecloth and make rugs of bits of old carpet or heavy cloth. A piece of plush of olive or cardinal, with a wide border of another darker color, would make rich looking carpet.

Greeting a Bunko Steerer.

Sometimes the bunko steerer meets his match. Recently ex-Judge Thomas Lawrence, who has been a practicing lawyer in this city for many years, but now resides in his beautiful home in Nyack, had an encounter with one of Hungry Joes confrees in which the lat ter acknowledged defeat. The ex-judge Is Quaker and wears slouch hat and Joshua Whitcomb clothes. Passing through city hall park an elegantly dressed young man said: "Whatl Do my eyes deceive me? You are"- But MT. Lawrence seized the fellows hand and broke in: "Why, am glad to see thee, friend Thou hast changed thy clothes since l saw thee last on BlackwelIs island" Skipping MT. Lawrence on the back. the would be swindler laughed and said: That will do, old Quaker; I see you are on to my game. ."-New York Commercial Advertiser.

Taught Serious Lesson.
 ''The brightest minds hey been known to git astray onct in aWhile," began Uncle Nahum Leavitt. and the fact that stopped over onct is jest as much sign of genius as 'tis of a fool. Furs l know, it seems so." His neighbor, who nodded his head very vigorously. as much as to say that Uncle Nahum sage remark was lir too weighty for ilnme- diate discussion.
 ''The time clipped up the elm trees front the house was an awful upsettcl to me-"
 "Hows that!" said the neighbor. whose conversational powers lay mostly in the line of interrogation.
 Well, don't mind relatin an expert encs that was a putty good lesson ter me, an that did more toward reducin my self esteem than most anything I ever tackled"
 He rose cautiously and peered round the corner of the barn to assure himself they were not ovcrheard: then, satisfied that no one was near, he moved the small keg which served as a seat nearer to his listener and began:
 "Well, one mornin I says ter Mary: Them elm trees front the house oughter be trimmed up. That parlor has got the chill an damp O the tomb in it, says 1. ''
 "Moldy" quickly asked his listener.
 "Yis, twas. Well, 1 hunted up a saw an got up on the fence an clirn up ter the lower limbs. Jest as got set

noted insanity or mania from that cause. In view of these facts say it is well to think twice before dismissing that hy- pothesis in case like this.
 The younger man listened attentively, but he did not seem convinced.
 Doubtless terror is a powerful fac tor-sometimes, he said, "but never theless do not see how it can be all in this case. The patient is not exactly an idiot I am very sure that in her way she thinks
 The elder physician made no reply, but he laughed quietly.
 ''I do not mean that she can follow a conscious train of thought, but that there is an unconscious undercurrent so to speak, which never rises into con- seriousness It is the upper surface of the mind only that exhibits itself in intelli- gence, and ill my opinion there is some thing more than reflex action in the great undercurrent that throws up the little waves, the tops of which only we call reason.

 The younger man shrugged his shoul- ders at this mild sarcasm, and he an sJyered without the least show of sensi- tiveness:
 At any rate, you would not object to trying an experiment with me?'
 Certainly not. "

 The younger man arose from the chair in which he had been sitting and went into the larger room. The gray haired physician followed him. They retired into the farthcst corner and concealed themselves from the patients view be- hind curtained bed, where, by slightly disarranging the drapery, they could easily watch her, Either because their

 "And I have hanged reprieved man?''
 "You have hanged amurderer-yes.
 My God! My God!" cried the sher- if. He turned his face on his arm against the wall and wept. His nerves were gone. He had been up all night and had never hanged man before.
 Bowen stood there until the spasm was over. The sheriff turned indig nantly to him, trying to hide the feeling of shame he felt ct giving away, in anger at the witness of it.
 And you come to me, you villain, because said would help you if you ever got into a tight place?:"
 "D-n your tight placev' cried the young man. '''I come to you to give my self up I stand by what do don't squeal. There will be no petitions got up for me. What are you going to do with me:'
 II don know, Bowen; don t know" faltered the official, on the point of breaking down. He did not wish to have to hang another man and friend at that. ''I'll have to see the governor. I'll leave by the first train. I don't sup pose you Il try to escape?'
 'Il be here when you want me. :"
 So Bowen went back to help the day operator, and the sheriff left by the first train for the capital.
 Now strange thing happened. For the first time within human recollec- tion, the newspapers were unanimous in commenting the conduct of the head of Al IL 4l. ,5, own party lavishly praising him, the op- position sheets grudgingly admitting that he had more backbone than they had given him credit for. Public opin ion, like the cat of the simile, had jumped, and that unmistakably
 ''In the name of all that's wonderful, sheriff, '' said the bcwildered governor, 'who signed all those petitions? If the papers wanted the man hanged, why ill the fiend's name did they not say so before and save me all this wor- ry? Now, how many know of this sup pressed dispatch:'
 Well there's you and your subordi- mates here and''--
 "We'll say nothing about it.
 And then there is me and Bowen ill Brentingville. That's all"
 Well, Bowen will keep quiet for his own sake, and you won't mention it:''
 "Certainly not. ;
 ''Then let's all keep quiet. The things safe if some of those newspaper fellows don't get after it. It's not on record in the books, and I'll burn all the documents. '
 And thus it was. Public opinion was once more vindicated. The governor was triumphantly reelected as a man with some stamina about him. Barr

development is remarkable. Like Sandow. he was sickly child and devoted himself to light athletics, with such success that he is today perfect physical man.
 He is a believer in the use of moderate weights and light work but performs a number of very clever feats with heavy weights and big dumbbells One of his easy performances consists of lifting 100 pound dumbbell from the floor to position high above his head with either right or left hand. He also lifts the bell to his shoulder and then puts it above his head 10 times in succession.
 McFadden also lies upon his back, stretches his arms behind his head, asks 174 pound man to step on the palms of his hands and then hoists his living and un- wieldy weight high above his face dozen times. McFadden, who is an expert wres- tier. recently wrestled Max Luttbeg in St. Louis. The strangle hold was barred, but Luttbeg secured it, and it took six men to free McFadden from his murderous clutches. McFadden was awarded the match on a claim of foul.

HOW TO CARE FOR A PIANO.
Method of Keeping It In Good Order All
 the Year.
THE TROOPER & GAMBLE CO. olN'Tl.

Method of Keeping It In Good Order All
 the Year.
 Have your piano regularly tuned. Most pianos require attention three or four times annually. A competent tuner will attend to the regulating of the ac- tion and voicing, which is quite as i'm portant as the tuning
 Keep the piano during the winter in the coolest part of the room, and the temperature as even as possible. Never set it close to register, as too much heat is liable to shrink and crack the sound ing board. Dampness is one of the great est enemies to the piano; therefore the instrument should be closed in damp weather when not in use. In dry, pleas ant weather leave the piano open, so the dry air can get to the action and key board. This will keep cut the dampness from the action, keeps the keys from sticking, the worries from turning yell low and the strings from rusting. All of these troubles are liable to occur if the piano is kept closed too much.
 Never let the sun shine on the piano, as it will surely blister and turn the color of the varnish, Which can never be remcdied unless the piano is scrapcd and revarnished, and this necessitates a heavy expense. Watch the piano care fully that the moths do not get into it, as they will do tho piano serious injury.
 Every first class piano undergoes a process of vanishing that requires from six to ten weeks time and receives half a dozen coats of fine varnish, which are ill turn rubbed and polished until the surface is smooth as glass. Every one has observed after purchasing a new pi- ano, especially ill damp weather, that it soon takes on a dull, smoky appear ance. This is the effect of the dampness upon the surface of the varnish.
 To remove this use q fine sponge and tepid water. A chamois skin as dry as ii can be wrung out of water should be used to dry the surface after using the sponge This will usually be sufficient. Should you wish a higher polish oil the case with piano oil and remove the oil thoroughly from the varnish with a piece of cotton flannel moistened with little alcohol. Never allow the alcohol cloth to be left any length of time On the varnish, as the alcohol would burn it.

How to Interpret Crying of Babies.

In pneumonia and capillary bronchitis the cry of q child is moderate, peevish and mutfled, as if the door were shut between child and nearer. The cry of croup is hoarsc brassy and metallic with growing inspiration. That of cer- ebral disease, particularly hydroceph' alus, is short, sharp, shrill and soli' tary. Marasmus and tubercular perito- nitis are manifested by meaning and wailing Obstinate, passionate and long continued crying tells of carache, thirst and hunger or the pricking of a pin. The pleuritic cry is louder and shrille1 than the pneulnoniac and is evoked by moving the child or from coughing. The fretful cry of intestinal ailments is often accompanied by wriggling and writhing, m indication that a nurse soon learns to interpret. Exhaustion is manifested with whine. Crying be- fore or just after coughing indicates pain caused by the act. Tho returning inspiratory part of the cry grows weak CT toward the fatal end of all diseases, while the absence of crying during dis ease is often of graver import than its presence, as it shows exhaustion and loss of power. Loud, intense screaming sometimes tells of gravel,

Surely" said the younger man, ''you do not wish me to understand that you believe it even possible that such condition should be the result of simple terror or pure mental action of any kind It seems almost certain to me that there was some structural or functional disor- der prior to the accident.

Last year we had a man who had been thrown from a carriage while his horses were running away. The man completely recovered, but he always per sisted in a denial that he had ever gone out to ride. The accident robbed him of his memory, not only of the time after he tainted, but of the time preceding that event by some hours. He never has been and undoubtedly never will be able to recall that time. Three or four years ago was called to attend a lunatic who had been troubled with suicidal mania He had at last succeeded in eluding the vigilance of his keepers and had hung himself.
