Poo-Bahs in Real Life.

In Panaria, one of the smallest islands
of the Lipari, or -Eolian group of islands
III the Mediterranean, all the offices of the
community inhapiting the Island are
united in one person, Padre Micbelan-
gelo, who IS priest. mayor, harbormaster,
postmaster. master or the marine teie-
graph and oiic!aI-general. He fills the
whole OF them 10 the entire satisfaction OF
the community, being assisted in the
telegraph department by his widowed
niece.
Similar cases are not unknown in this
country. At the Revising Barrister's
Court held on Septem Der 4, 1894, at
the Castle Eden Inn, Castle Eden, IN
the County Of Durham, it irauspired that
in the Township of Nesbitt. George
Brown, farmer, was the only resident,
and therefore lilled all the public offices.
He ievies the rates upon himself and pays
them himself. The Township of Birches,
III the division of knulsford. Cheshire,
has only one occupier-John Holland,
farmer. He is both guardian and over
seer, makes his own rates, collects and
pays them, and looks after the compila-
tion OF the Parliamentary Register. An
other like township is that OF Walters
court, in the Parliamentary Division of
Eddisbury, where another gentleman,
the only occupier, fulfills the duties of
all the public offices connected with the
township. at the various revision courts
he attends with his Parliamentary voters

"Art' in the Newspapers.

Newspaper art is beco ming more afro
clous every day, says the indianapolis
JOu7adt. When the picture epidemic
first broke out. like an inky measles. in
the press of the country the pleasing
argument was advanced that 1t would
help TO educate the eye aud the taste of
the rising generation.
When IT presently turned out that the
pictorial features were, Tor the most part,
without artistic merit, and that such OF
them as showed originality and talent in
the designer were ruined by the me-
chanlcal processes incident to and in
separable from the hasty printing of a
daily newspaper, this argument was
made less prominent
More stress WAS then laid upon the i'm
portance OF illustrating the text, the as
SUMPTION being that the readers needed
this aid to their understanding.
If the pictures really illustrated, this
reasoning might hold good but, as
rule, they do not, and are mere blem-
ishes upon the page. The drawing is not
correct. Little pretense at accuracy of
delineatlon is made; portraits, for in
stance, being gross caricatures, and to
everyone with sense of proportion and
an understanding of the rudiments OF art
they are source of irritation.
This art is made peculiarly offensive
when color effects are attempted. Several

For the most part they are magnificent
specimens of manhood-handsome, tall,
eagle-eyed, with magnificent carriage
aud superb bearing. Their uniforms, a
sort of compromise between the conven-
tional British dress and the native cos
tune, are wonderfully becoming to
them, the gorgeously colored turbans
forming a finishing touch that leaves
nothing to be desired from an artistic
point of view.
Apart from these, the streets are
thronged with most cosmopolitan
crowd. Government officials, in white
duck uniforms; Parsees, with their curl
ous-looking hats, that look more like the
double crowns OF the ancient Kings of
Egypt, as depicted on the pyramids, than
anything else; Arabs, Hindus, Chinese
and natives of the city itself, all in their
own peculiar national garb. Here and

THE OLD MAN SKIPPED.

An Exciting Domestic Scene at the
salvation Army Barracks.
Quite an exciting incident occurred at
the Salvation Army meeting last evening.
A man was about to announce his con-
version, and just as he answered ai1irma-
lively to questions concerning his sim
cerity his wife, who was sitting in the
audience, exclaimed in loud voice:
You lie. you lie ~ and then showed
one of her hands, which was bandaged,
and which she said her husband had in
jured while administering a beating to
her.
The husband did not expect such an at
tack, especially from his wife, and beat 4
hasty retreat from the place through the
back door.
YOU'RE a nice soldier, to run away,
amt your she exclaimed, as the form OF
her husband was seen fading away in tho
darkness behind the barracks.
The incident was not on tEe pro-
gramme, and the excitement caused by

The latest sensation of the day in Paris
is the result OF u novel bet made between
two leading lights of the fashionable
jockey club i'll that city. 1t came about
IN this way: During dinner given in
honor of the winner of the grand autumn
races, the guests began to tell stories of
tine horsemanship. An elderly officer
present said that he thought the young
men OF this generation did not ride so
well as they did in the good old days.
This led 10 an animated dispute, which
ended by Max Lebaudy Offering to bet
that mo knew lady rider that could do
anything with horse that any man of
this or any other generation had done.
The old officer accepted the bet, stipu-
latlng tnat the lady should ride her horse
into the banquet hail, and take a fiyiug
leap over the table without disturbing or
touching the wine bottles, flowers or
anything else OH the table. Nobody
dreamed that the bet would be accepted,

around the festive board, the event took
place. The world-famous equestrienne.

USEFUL HINTS.
Practical Points for the Prudent
Housekeeper.


Housekeeper.
Paint, however old and dry it NAV be.
can be removed from carpets or draperieS
by a liberal use OF chloroforIn. Saturate
the spot, keep it closely covered tor half
an hour, then brush out. The liquid de-
stroys the oil in the paint, leaving only a
powder that usually comes out, leaving
no stain unless on very delicate fabrics.
In obstinate cases the application may
need to be repeated several times. II will
positively remove it if persisted in.
When you wish To use very dry bread
for any purpose, soak it in cold milk or
water instead Of having them hot. The
hot fluids seem to take the life out of dry
bread and render 1t soggy; the cold soak
ing leaves ii tlaky.
The merest dash OF cinnamon in a cup
of chocolate after it is poured IS said TO
add piquant and undistinguishable
flavor.
Milk, applied once a week with soft
cloth, freshens and preserves boots and
SHOES.
Canned sardines carefully Drowned on
adouble-wIre a gridiron, and served with
lemon, are appetizing.
The best way to discipline ones heart
against scandal is to believe all stories to
be false which ought not TO be true
Canned tomatoes are more delicious
baked than stewed. About ten minutes
before removing from the oven spread
buttered bread crumbs over the top.
To keep irons from rusting wrap them
in common brown paper and put away
in dry place. If they have become
rusty they may be made smooth aud
bright by putting some white sand on a
smooth board and rubbing the iron over
several times.
Children should have several hours of
play every day in the open air, if possi-
BILE. Vigorous and spontaneous action of
this sort is better than gymnastics: and
if girls were allowed by social custom to
play as the boys do they would cease to
be subject to spinal deformities.
New shoes can be worn with as much
ease as old ones If they are stuffed to the
shape OF the foot with cloth or paper and
patiently sponged with hot water. Or if
they pinch in some particular spot, a
cloth wet with hot water aud laid acros
the place will cause immediate and last
ing relief
If tlatirons are rough and smoky, lay q
little fine salt on nat surface and rub
them well. 1t will smooth them and pre-
vent sticking.
For convenience in cleaning lamp
chimneys, nothing is better than small
sponge attached to the end of a stick.
A very good cement to fasten on lamp
tops is melted alum; use as soon as melted
and the lamp VIII be ready for use as
soon as the cement is cold.
