Lime and Lime water.
From the N. ". Tribune. !.


The uses of so homely an article as lime
about the household are almost innumera-
ble-just the ordinary lime that one sees
the plasterer and the bricklayer use in pre-
pairing his pacts of plaster or mortar. Even
when reduced to an almost mpalpable solu-
ton in water, it is still efficacious in re-
markable variety Of instances. One sees
the hodmen on new building keep their
drinking water in pail that is coated with
lime. and one thinks that it is a poor receipt
acle for the universal beverage. Yet it
would not be so good or 50 pure served in
silver ice pitcher The lime water Of the
druggists is indeed nothing more than this
solution of the hodmen. \ piece of un-
Stacked lime in perfectly clean bottle. with
cold water poured over it, the.bottle corked
and kept in cool. dark place. is a full re-
cipe for lime water 1t is ready for use in
a few moments after the water is poured ON.
This lime water has number of uses, as
well as the lime itself, A spoonful of it in
cupful of milk is remedy for the summer
complaint common to children. 1t is adj
mirable for cleansing bottles. Ii corrects
acidity of the stomach. twill prevent the
turning Of milk or cream. and cupful
added to bread sponge will keep it from sour
ing. Allowed to evaporate from a vessel
over the stove its steam proves a wonderful
alienation for the distresses due to lung
fever, Group or diphtheric ailment. 1t will
sweeten and purify bottles, jugs, etc, and,
lastly, a few spoonfuls of it poured on potted
plants will rid them very rffectually of pot
worms,
Lime itself. as every one knows. is IN
valuable as a purifier and disinfectant.
Sprinkled in cellars or closets where there
is a slight dampness, it will not only serve
as purifier, but it is a valuable preventive
against the invasion of noxious animals.
In greater cases. such as the disinfection of
vessels and hospitals ii is recognized as a
chief agent. 1t is one the most notable
instances of the economy Nnd of the bounty
of nature that this article 50 cheap and com
mon. is serviceable in so many instances.

His Barometer.
From Chicago Hemld.


Il was at luncheon at Kinsley's the
other day, said F Willis Rice, when my
attention was riveted on a handsome old
gentleman who was watching intently his
cup of coffee The head waiter also noticed
the action and asked the patron ifthere was
anything the matter with his coffee. He
replied, Oh no, am just watching my
barometer The word was heavy for the
waiter to shoulder, and he went to the man
ager and told him he thought that man
pointing out the old gentleman-was of,
and that he had barometer. and he was
afraid the man might hurt somebody with
it. The manager approached the gentleman
with an apology and asked him what was
the trouble. The gentleman replied quietly:
Nothing. am just watching my barome-

The Necessity of oon,posure.

One thing that, if not necessity, is at
least conducive to comfortable living. is
hardly appreciated even by those who
most need it, This is the need of having
some time each day entirely alone. II is
impossible to live comfortably without com
posure of mind, and there is no way of
securing it so surely as to spend short
time each day (and long time is even
better) in silence, and free from Interrupt
tions. 1t is soothing to tired nerves, and
Strengthening to tired mind The per
son who does not like to be alone, who
does not even strongly desire to be alone
once in II while, is already ON the highroad
towards ill-health. 1t is the only way to
have relief from the confusion of always
being in some ones presence. which will.
sooner or later, either affect the nerves or

for the waste. The very act Of taking
this hour strengthens the viii and adds

obvious phenomenon, and we may. now say
that the prime motor of these is the wind

great areas and the westerly winds that pre-

specific gravity have very much slighter
effect which is most marked in undercircu-
lation and the vertical mixing of waters. A
remarkable fact is that the greatest ocean
depths are near the land, the deepest sound

AUTUMN.

From Macmillan.
The dying leaves filll fast;
Chestnuts, willow, oak and beech
All brown and withered lie,
s.ow swirling in the cutting blast.
Now sodden under foot-thcy teach
That one and all must die.
This autumn of the year
Comes sadly home to my poor heart
Whose youthful hopes are fed.
The darkening days are drear,
Each love once mine see depart
As withered leaves aud dead
But is it all decay?
All present loss-no gain rcmote::s
Monotony of pain:
All, no. hear lay
The robin sings-how sweet the note
pure unearthly strain.
And ofall flowers the first
Beneath these leaves in spring shall blow
Sweet viOlets blue and white.
80 all lost love shall burst
In springlike beauty, summer glow
In heaven upon onr sight.

A Splendid Presentation Of a Strong

There was a fine audience last
night for Dailey's superb produc-
ton of the beautiful American
comedy-drama, THE Henrietta"
A number Of the steady theater-
goers said that the company had
fairly excelled itself. The troupe
scored a genuine triumph. The
story is an interesting one, and
abounds in strong situations. Mr..
Daley put forth his best efforts in
mounting THE Henrietta" The
drawing-room scene was artistic
and rich, and the brokers' Office
was faithful picture.
Mortimer Snow gave a finished
rendition of BERTHE the lamb. r.
Scott did full justice to the broker.
Jean Weiner was careful and cap
able as the physician. Al Hallett
handled the scheming young Ma
poleon satisfactorily. Louis Bel
mour was a typical parson. P. A.
Nannery was a regular scheming
broker, and Mr.. Daley did some
good acting as the confidential
clerk. John Howard did the Eng
lish lord cleverly. Miss Dalgleish
was particularly effective in an
emotional scene. Kittie Belmour
was an interesting widow, and Miss
Nannary was delightful as the in
genue. Miss Stockmeyer was
proper American girl. The ladies
wore some fine dresses.
