That the representative of the
weaker sex never reaches conclu-
sion by reasoning, but by intuition,
was we'll illus trated few days ago in
one of the high schools.
The professor of natural philosophy
had just completed lecture on the
"Forces of Cohesion and Adhesion"
He had been extremely careful to ex-
plain the difference between the two,
and in order to test the knowledge of
the class upon the subject he asked a
demure young lady on the front seat:
"Miss Blank, when you powder
your face, what is that keeps the
powder in place? What keeps it from
falling Off" The maiden, thoroughly
startled at the question, seemed TO be
in doubt for few moments, and then,
with sparkling eyes ard animated
countenance, made the remarkable
answer, "Glycerine."

KEEP YOUR BREAD DIZZY.

One hears a great deal of talk about
moist bread, and large number OF
housekeepers shut their bread in air
tight boxes to keep it moist. Such
barbarous treatment of bread may be
efficacious in keeping it moist, but
bread from which fresh air us exclud-
ed always has a disagreeable, clayey
flavor and is unpalatable to people of
cultured tastes, who appreciate the
nutty sweetness that is prominent
characteristic of all good bread.
The foolish notion of keeping bread
moist had it's origin in bad cookery.
Most of the stuff made by bakers has
to be eaten fresh and moist or not eat
en- at all. It is so light and woolly
that. if exposed to the air few hours
it grows dry and husky and is almost
as unsavory and innutritious as chips.
A large proportion Of homemade
bread is similar in character and is at
fected in a similar manner by expos
ure to the air But properly made
bread-such bread as ought to be in
every intelligent home and on every
Christian table three times a day
grows sweeter by exposure to the air,
and is not at it's best until two or three
days old.
Bread should be kept in a we'll Gov
cred box or jar, but it should not be
wrapped in cloths, and the box OR jar
in which it is kept should have small
holes in the top or sides, through
which the fresh air can have access.
AS soon as the loaves of bread are
taken from the oven they should be
exposed freely to pure air, and at NO
time afterward should they be exclud
ed from it. Make good bread, put ii
in a well-ventilatod box after it is
perfectly cool, and it will keep suffi
GENTLY moist at least week

In Indiana, some time ago, ''they
say" man got a license and opened
saloon. The people Of the village
met and resolved not to have any
thing TO do with him. They would sell
him nothing, they would not notice
him on the street; in fact, they disre-
garded him in every way. When he
went to a store the merchant would
ask:
care you the man that sells liquor
in our town."
ayes, sir.''
"Well, then, sir, L can not sell You
any goods"
He could not get mail at the post
office for any one but himself with
out written order. He cursed, raw
ed, but soon closed his saloon and
went into better business than that
of making drunkards, and is now an
honored citizen.
Another man opened saloon there
and the people treated him in the
same way. His place was soon closed,
and we think there will never be an
other attempt made to open saloon
in the town of B., for, law or no law,
no saloonatic can live under such
pressure.

To CLEAN MEMS CLOTHING.-One of
the most valuable cleansing fluids for
mems clothing consists of one pint OF
deodorized benzine, one half drachm
of sulphine ether the same of chloro-
form, one drachm of alcohol and
very little good cologne. If it is used
for cleansing coat collars and outside
garments, apply with an old piece of
soft black silk. For neckties, either
dark or light, apply with piece of
white silk. In washing solid black
goods put a tablespoonful in gallon
of warm water. The mixture will cost
about twenty five cents.

A cowboy up from the Texas Pan
handle was guest at the house, and
as the clerk who attended to him is
still in Denver we will allow him to
tell the story in his own words: "He
had on store clothes and red necktle,
and what he didn't know wasn't
worth knowing. When he started up
to his room at night told him there
was folding bed in it, and if he wish
ed the bell boy would show him how
it worked. But not much. He didn't
want to be shown anything. He knew
thing or two about the city, he did
even if he did live down on the range.
$50 let him go, and next morning
he paid his bill without a word and
went away. About noon 1 happened
to be on that floor, and chamber
maid called me to take look in his
room. And what sight met my eyes.
The bottom drawer of the bureau
was pulled out as far as it would
the room, with a towel spread over
one end for a pillow. Evidently he
had tried to sleep there, for pinned
upon the glass was a sarcastic legend
reading: Col dern yere folding beds.
Why don't you make 'em longer and
put more kivver onto 'em? Mebbe
you expect q man t. stand up and
sleep in your burned old cuberd. The
! burned old cuberdD was one of our
| best folding beds"

WARDING OFF DLSEA Sc.

When Susan Bentley married Hugh
Lynn, and returned with him to his
home in the South, she knew nothing
of his family. She found them to be
clever, gay, warm hearted people,
who welcomed her cordially and took
her at once to their hearts.
In their homes, however, she learn
ed before many days had passed some
facts that startled her. Several of
her husbands uncles and cousins
men of high social position-drank to
excess.
Susan thought and prayed over these
terribly significant facts alone. Then,
hiding all her misery and terror, she
went to her husband with cheerful
face.
"Hugh," she said, ''your family
have a tendency to the disease of
drunkenness just as mine have to con-
sumption. You are tender and watch
full of me that I should avoid draughts
and cold, and now you must let me be
careful of YOU"
Young Lynn was a man of wit and
sense, and was fond Of his wife. He
knew that in every branch of the Lynn
family one man, at least, had died a
drunkard. He knew, too, that even
with his young, healthy body he al
ready sometimes felt the awful crav-
ing. He was glad to adopt any plan
which she might suggest.
Her plan was simple one. She
paid special attention to the food Of
her family; no wines, spices, or hot
condiments were used even in cook
ing. The neighborhood wondered for
the community was one where "good
living'' held high place in the estimate
of life's good things. Susan herself
was always cooking savory little dish
es for her husband, that he might not
find his meals insipid.
"Other people," she said, gaily,
"may perhaps take wine or take cold
with impunity; but we Lynns can do
neither"
Her one object for years was to
keep her husband interested and ca
ger in his business and amusement.
GA happy, busy man does not desire
anything further" she reasoned wise
ly.
The result of this experiment, which
occupied and filed the greater part of
her life, was that Hugh Lynn is still
living, a hale, sober man of seventy,
and that the family curse has not fall
en- on one of his three sous.
This story is true, with the excep-
ton of the names. We tell it because
among those who will read it are
many who have inherited this most
cruel and mortal of all diseases.
Alcoholism" says DR.. Swayne, "is,
in many cases, an affection OF the
stomach, brain and nerves, transmit
ted from father to son. 1t can be cur
ed by attention to hygiene and diet,
under medical supervision. Like al
most all hereditary diseases, too, with
this attention it will die out after one
of two generations"
There is hope even in this darkest
of all places in life.

slant pistol firing at Bismarck's pri-
vate shooting gallery. How like the
New England Puritan is this expression
Of constant pistol firing" from a man
who probably never had a deadly arm
in his hands during his life.
The weapons generally used at duels
on the continent are the sword and duel
ing pistol. The sword has a triangular
blade, 32 inches long from guard to
point. For over a foot it is followed out
like a bayonet. The point and edges are
very sharp. 1t is an awfully dangerous
tool to fool with. Sometimes curious
results follow wounds with the rapier.
A New Orleans gentleman was run
through the right lung in a duel, the
steel coming out three inches under his
shoulder blade. At the time Of the fight
he was thought to be in the last stage
Of consumption. He not only got over
the thrust, but the wound cured him of
the dread consumption as we'll. The
counter irritation relieved the lung of
its inflammation and effected a perfect
cure. Exchange.

When Professor Lester +. Ward of the

a short time ago he told how a book of
which he is the author was excluded
from Russia. The title of his volume, a
speculative and philosophical produc-
ton, is Dynamic Sociology" Some
copies of it We're sent to Russia for the
use of scholars there. They neve got

eye and the mind Of the careful censor
Dynamic sociology appeared to him to
be very much the same thing as dyna-
mitic socialism, and the book was sus-
pected Of being one that favored the So
cialist propaganda Of the bomb. 1t must
be nihilistic and dangerous. 1t could not
be admitted to the empire. The copies
Of it were confscated and destroyed.

Minnesota Labor Bureau Will Enforce
the Compulsory Education Law.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 3.-The state labor bu-
reau is making 4 practical attempt to
enforce the provisions of the compulsory
education law. Deputy Labor Commits
sioner Frank Valesh and Inspector Eek
nan will start on u tour Of inspection
through the manufacturing districts of
the state for the purpose of ascertaining
where the child labor law is dis
obeyed, and wherever children are
found under age working in shops
and manufacturing establishments
they will be withdrawn and sent to
school. In a recent excursion of this
kind to Brainerd, Inspector Mayo had
30 boys taken from the mills there and
sent to school. Inspector Casserly, who
has also been engaged on this work,
will begin a tour of inspection through
St. Paul factories and works hops this
week.
Labor Commits sioner Powers reports
that the school boards throughout the
state are heartily cooperating with the
labor bureau in the attempt to enforce
the child labor law, and the outlook, he
says, is hopeful for a satisfactory reduc-
ton of the illegal employment of chill
dren in Minnesota.

Rubinstein As q Composer.

As a composer Rubinstein had two
great faults and one great virtue. He
had a wonderful gift of beautiful and
unfailing melody, but he never knew
when he became tedious, and he was
totally incapable of self criticism. He
never went over his work; in fact, he
was altogether wanting in the necessary
patience for this. That which he had
written remained rs first written, and
undoubtedly it is this failing that will
spoil his fame with posterity. 1t arose
from want Of control in his youth, for
when a mere boy of ID he was left to
his own devices. Consequently he wrote
for years without direction, and at a
period when it was most necessary
therefore he failed to learn that all i'm
portant lesson Of all artists-a lesson to
be learned only in youth. and difficult
even then-self criticism. His nature
was Of itself impatient. He rushed
along, pen in hand, eager to give utter
ance to the thoughts crowding his brain,
and there was none to stop him in his
mad career. In moods of extraordinary
exaltation he wrote masterpieces almost
without effort, exquisite tone poems
over which the world went mad, and he
grew to believe, and tried to convince
others, that so all great work should be
done. Alexander Macarthur in Century
