THINGS THAT GO
TO MAKE A HOME.

In the really comfortable home the husband
must act his part gracefully as well. Ii a
host of pious female relatives swoop down
upon them and put an end to the Bohemian
revels for the time being, it is not his role TO
sulk and fly out as soon after dinner as possi-
BILE. confdentially informing his wife that he
means to take up his abode at the club while
the visitors are under his roof. There must
be a little sacrifice on his part. and with true
gentlemanly grace he should treat the IN
icongenial guests as he would like to have his
own.mother and sisters treated under similar
circumstances.
A man can do more to unmake home than
a woman can to make it. The surroundings
may be all that could possibly be desired. but
a cynical or ill-tempered host will so thor
oughly upset the ordinary demeanor of the
wife that an air Of restraint will settle upon
the company that the best-cooked dinner and
most elaborate service fail to remove. II
business cares creep into the home life they
help TO cloud the atmosphere. 1t is a good
rule to leave the perplexing problems of
finance shut up in the desk at the office, and
the rule that applies to the outside life is
equally potent in relation to the working of
the domestic machinery.
It doesn't make a wife feel comfortable to
sit down to the table opposite gloomy
browed man, who frowns over the stock quo
tations back OF an outspread newspaper. or
and the cooking at the same time Neither is
it pleasant for the man, worn out with the
days worries, to be greeted at the door with
an account Of the cooks misdoings or the
children's ailments. If possible, worrying
details should be shut out from that interval
when the founders of the home meet to enjoy
the delights which their combined taste and
means have built up around them.
How can children be expected to grow up
with a reverence for home if their memory Of
it is environed by q barbed-wire fence of con-
tinued restraint or constant chickering's? The
real honey home is built up on more than easy
chairs and a disregard for ashes on the
carpet. There is forbearance, there is love
and confidence, there is an earnest desire on
the part OF the inmates to glorify the rooms
with the sunshine Of cheerful countenances
as well as with the inviting warmth OF open
wood fires. Our homes are what we make
them, and as telltales OF character are open
books for the observer to read.

Elephant Leather,

A new industry is being rapidly developed
in France, and if you mean to be in the FASH
ion you had better take note of it at once
Some years ago it was the gentle crocodile
which was selected as the fittest animal for
providing YOU with new purses, bags. cigar
cite cases, boots, shoes and all the rest of
!eathery kniekknacks. Now it is the elephant
that has to give his hide for the same purpose.
At Paris even now you can buy a card or
cigar case of crocodile hide which has been
glorifled by six months soiourn in a bath OF
oak bark in the tanners yard. The price of
the little toy is from Is to 20 guineas. and if
you are ambitious enough to wish to pur-
chase a small crocodile valise '.and no one
there to hinder you may do SO for the sum
Of from els to G100. The tanned elephant
skin is also reported to make carpets OF un-
rivaled strength and "of grand originality"

He Wanted TO Stay in the Penitentiary
After His Term Had Expired.
Few people prefer prison life to the free
dom enjoyed by persons who have never
been compelled to don the striped garb. but
such one, says the Boise City Qdaho) States
man, Is Narcisse Nero an Italian, who for
the last eleven months has been lncarcerated
in the penitentiary for a burglary committed
in kootenai county. Nero has been an ex-
emplary prisoner, and although his sentence
was for one year, his good behavior, under
the rules OF the Institution, earned him one
months communication. Yesterday the eleven
months expired and Warden Campbell in
formed bin he was at liberty to depart.
Nero said he did not want to go. Life
within the prison walls was for him prefer
able to being turned adrift in cold world.
The warden told Nero he was sorry for him.
but his time was up and ne would be required
to leave the home to which he had become so
attached in so short a time.
Then Nero adopted new tactics. He raised
the point that he did not have to accept the
months rebate on his sentence for good be-
havior unless he pleased to. He did not de-
sire to accept it, and therefore could not be
put out until the expiration of the full twelve
months.
This raised an entirely new question. and
Deputy Warden Cuddy was dispatched to lay
the case before Governor Mcconnell. The
Governor instructed Warden Campbell to
allow Nero to remain until the return of the
Attorney General. The Governor said If it
should be shown such action was wrong he
would pay for Nero's board out Of his own
pocket.

Woman and
Her> Ways

Epigrams are always fascinating. They
have such delightful fashion Of fitting them
selves to our own cases and to the short
comings OF our enemies that we love to
chuckle over the combination. They con-
firm our suspicious on a given subject and
datter insidiously. Cynical epigrams appeal
to tho appetite that requires stimulant, but
they retard the moral digestion when they
really appeal to the appetite. Cynical cpl
grams serve as the shadows that only enhance
the sunlight, but they are not guides-they
are danger signals. The world needs writers
to compose optimistic epigrams-the kind to
use as weapons when fate swoops down upon
you and all but convinces you that there is
nothing in the struggle YOU are making, no
victory awaiting you and no crown when
you have won the fight.
Oscar Wilde and Edmund Russell are par
ticularly given to epigrams, the former con
lning his remarks to nature-especially hu-
man nature-the latter to matters artistic and
decorative.
Some OF Russelrs laconics on dress are as
follows.
High collars destroy graceful conversation.
Diamonds decrease in beauty as they in
crease in size.
Jet is wicked. Tired good women should
never wear jet.
Gloves are worn TOO much. hid gloves
make wrinkles In the face; new ones because
of their newness; old ones because Of their
want Of rcspectability.
Large persons should not lose sight Of their
advantages; there are good points in being
big-power and grandeur.
Avoid black; dress effectively, and not sub
jectively; women are larger natured in light
colors.
Do not wear selfish clothes; crude green
dress is its own worst enemy.
As you grow older wear lighter colors;
white is intensely spiritual; gray in lesser
degree also spiritualizes.

Ants Wearing the Green

THE COAL CONSPIRACY.

1t now transpires that the remote cause of
the numerous strikes among the coal miners
of the country, occasioning the closing OF
factories and bringing some of the railroads
almost to a standstill for want OF fuel, is q
conspiracy among the operators. For nearly
a year the coal companies of Ohio and West
ern Pennsylvania have been storing coal in
excess of the demand until they had accumu-
lated about 100000 tons; then they cut the
miners to the starvation point, hoping that
they would strike. Their expectations were
reali zed and the mines are quiet and de-
serted. The visible supply of coal is almost
exhausted, and the consprators are begin
ming to unload their stores at so per cent ad-
vance. The workmen have been reduced be-
low the living limit, manufactures have been
checked, and the public plundered, because
these men could control the gifts of nature
and speculate in the necessaries of life. Is it
good government and sound political
economy TO allow these things? Was society
organized for the benefit of its members?
There is a remedy.

SMUGGLING A CORPSE.
How the Dead Body of an American Was
Got out of Mexico.

How the Dead Body of an American Was
Got out of Mexico.
"Of all the queer articles smuggled across
the Rio Grande, the queerest 1 ever heard of
was a corpse" said James Murray, an old
railroad conductor, to st. Louis Globe
Democrat man. I'm Mexico, when for
eigner dies and his friends desire to send his
body to his native land, the government ex-
acts a tax of $3.50 for the privilege Of shipping
it over the railroad. In 1884 Larry Flaherty,
a brakeman, died at Silao, on the Mexican
Central.
He was poor fellow. His mother, who
lived in Colorado, but who had come on to
nurse him, wanted the body shipped home.
She couldn't raise the money and the boys
took upa collection, but could only raise So.
Then Tom Williams, jovial conductor. put
up a scheme to get the body to the states.
The funeral was conducted in the usual man.
ner, and poor Larry's body was placed in the
ground. Two pesos fixed it with the grave
diggers. and they neglected to fill in the grave
until after dark. In the interim Larry's body
was taken from the coffin and placed in an
old sack, and carried to an obscure hut, where
it was placed in trunk and taken to the
depot. The boys had secured pass to Ell
Pfso for Mrs. Flaherty, and Tom Williams
went along to carry out the scheme.
At Paso del Norte the trunk was taken to
casa de huespedes. or boarding house, and
the corpse was again transferred to the sack.
Mrs. Flaherty went to FL Paso and secured an
undertaken. who, with a plain box in his
wagon, drove up the river 20 a point desig-
mated. About 10 O'Clock Tom, with his peon
cargedore. managed to get across the river
without attracting attention. Larry's body
was tenderly placed in the box and taken up
town to the undertaker's where it was properly
prepared, placed in a casket. and shipped to
his old home. Tom Williams returned to
Siloa safely, and was ever aiterward known

dear Miss Marie Burroughs, whom We all

Chicago dramatic men was the interviewer:
Interviewed in Chicago respecting her tour
next season, Marie Burroughs said an error
had been made by some of the papers in stat
ing that she is to star under the management
of her husband, Louis Massen. "Mr. Massen."
she said, twill be member of my company

new plays of the comedy-drama order, will con-
stitufe my entire repertory, for the first season

LARGEST OF THEIR KIND.
Things That Lay Over All Other Things in
Their RespectiVe Lines.


The largest bronze statue in the world is
that of Peter the Great at st. Petersburg,
Russia; weight, LOO tons.
The deepest coal mine is near Lambert,
Belgium; depth, $3.50 feet.
The greatest bee owner on earth is Harri-
son, of California. who owns 5000 hives
The Car of Russia holds the largest indi-
vidual estates-100. 600, 900 acres.
The deepest hole ever bored into the earth
is an artesan well at Pesth, Hungary, which
was driven to depth Of s, 40 feet.
The largest flower is the .'Rafiesis"
Cnamed in honor OF Sir S. Raffles), which is
native of Sumatra. The diameter often
exceeds nine feet.
The Mordelia beetle has the greatest num-
Der of distinct eyes. q single specimen possess
ing as many as $4,000 facets OF vision in his
compound eye.
The largest birds nest is that built by the
Australian jungle fowl. usually about twenty
feet in diameter and fifteen feet high.
The greatest height ever attained by bal

AN ANTEMONOPOLIST.

Among the interested listeners on Friday
and Saturday last at the hearings before the
House Post Office Committee on the postal
telegraph question was W. A. c. Carsey, of
New-York. Chairman Henderson is authority
for the statement that Mr.. Carsey desires to
be heard on the subject.
Four years ago, when the Wanamaker bill
was under consideration, person Of the
same name addressed the committee in oppo-
sition to the measure. We have carefully
read Mr.. Carsey's speech, as printed in the
official record. He is an anti-monopolist, and
claims to represent an organization known as
the "Anti-monopoly League" According to
his own testimony, Carsey has such an utter
detestation Of monopoly in every form that
monopoly than one controlled by corpora
tions or individuals.
We have heard of Carsey and his "Anti-
monopoly League" for several years past.
We have also heard not a<little Of the opera
tions of the ''league' and its chief around
the state house at Albany at several sessions
Of the legislature. As long ago as 1890 the
rumor reached US that the ''league" was
myth, and that its membership at that time
consisted Of Carsey and three others. Since
that time we are informed that the number
has been reduced to two.
1t Is certainly very kind of Mr.. Carsey to
come to Westinghouse his own expense
and throw the great influence of his ''league"
in opposition to the establishment Of a gov
ernment monopoly in the shape Of a postal
telegraph.

A Moving Experience.

"The boys rooms,' she said, coldly. "are
all on the east side of the house. The front
room is my dressinS-room.
The hostess suddenly decided that it was
time to serve a little tea.
Man has a great many advantages that
woman has not. For instance:
He can run after departing train and hurl
himself on the back platform instead Of sigh
ing and then sitting down demurely and wait
ing twenty minutes for the next one.
He can call on the girls he likes, and let Sc
verely alone those he dosent care for while
girl must entertain one caller as courteously as
another. This is one of mans greatest privi-
leges.
He isn't frowned upon if he casually re-
marks that he's in love. A girl is expected to
conceal such a secret as carefully as she does
the fact that she still owes 81 II to her dress
maker.
He can purchase dress suit and the usual
accessories that go with it and be all fitted
out for the next year or two. If girl always
wore the same evening dress, everyone would
look sorry for her and whisper: Poor thingl
suppose it's the only one she has,"

MrcuIGAN.s NEW SENATOR.

Only few of the Michigan residents at the
national capital have ever heard of the new
Senator, Mr.. John Patton, jr., of Grand
Rapids: but those who do know him are loud
in their praise. and aver the wisdom of Gov
ernor Rich's selection. Mr.. Patton is about
a years of age. but is said TO look at least
ten years younger. He is lawyer by pro-
fession. as a practitioner has been very sue
cessful, and is acknowledged to be one OF the
brairiest men in his section of the state.
Mr. Patton's appointment is in the nature
OF u surprise, as ne had never been a candi-
date for any official position. 1t was antici-
pated tina: in the event OF the declination of
Mr. Burrows. ex-Congressman Cutcheon
would have been the fortunate man. At a
reception given TO the new Senator. few
hours after his appointment, he announced
that he stood squarely on the Republican
platform. and that he should oppose the in
come tax.
The legislature to be elected next Novem-
ber will meet in January. when it will be de-
termined whether Senator Patton will finish
the term to which the late Mr.. Stoekbridge
was elected.
