Don't be without good books and
papers, imagining that you cannot
afford them. 1t is poor economy to
leave the mind hungry, that you may
fill the pocket. Books are refuge in
hours of loneliness; the information
they supply is a permanent fund
which does not diminish by drawing
on it. Every boy and girl find ways
and means to procure books, if he is
willing to deny himself or herself
some trif1es that seem necessary.
This truth is not new, but it is valu-
able. There are too many families
that go without books and papers be-
cause they think they can't afford
them, when their boys and girls long
for the pleasures they afford, with
earnest hearts. Provide good reading
for your children.

Alarming figures are given as to
the recent spread of drunkenness-or,
at any rate, Of excessive drinking-in
France. In Marseilles there is now a
drink shop for. every forty adults
The proportion of lunatics whose in
sanity is traceable to alcohol is also
rapidly rising. 1t is believed that the
phylloxera disease in the vineyards,
by making wine scarce and dear, led
to the habitual consumption of ardent
spirits. The phylloxera is now got
rid of, and cheap, pure wine is again
plentiful. But, probably, the new and
evil habits will not be equally soon
got rid of.

1t seems pretty well proven by long
lists of experiments in Europe where
the discovery was made, and in this
country where the remedy has been
used with great success, that the new
discovered medicine, anti toxine, will
cure both Group and diphtheria. This
is one of the most important discov-
cries of any age and is one of the
greatest blessings that science has be-
slowed upon humanity.
The genuine anti toxine is made in
Europe and is shipped to this coun-
try. Besides the diphtheria cure is
also a cure for Group, equally effect
i've. Manufacture of the Group medi-
cine is now occupying a large force

tally the same. In Paris a stable of

A NEW WAY OF WASHING.

II have found" said one of those
NJ modern housekeepers, whose ideas
NJ would horrify her maternal ancestors
# they could but hear them, ''that ell
bow grease when applied to laundry
work is not the much to- be praised
thing that have always been brought
up to believe it was, and that in some
cases it is a detriment to successful
and careful washing. By dint of many
Experiments I have discovered that
small table or a fiat board and a soft,
small scrubbing brush will work won
ders. I can take an ordinary garment
with collar and sleeves badly soiled,
and cleanse it by this process in one
third of the time and with infinitely
less hard work than the average laun-
dress. 1 make a mixture of soap and
kerosene oil and let it stand over
night, or prepare it and keep it in a
stopped jug or bottle. With soft
brush rub the collar and cuffs and all
the soiled places; then roll the gar
ments up for a few minutes, while
others are being done. When ali are
prepared, begin with the first and
rinse and brush the surface with hot
soapsuds. In nine cases out of ten
the garment will need no further rub
bling. do not approve of clothes be-
ing merely scalded. They need not
be boiled for any length of time, but
should have about one to three min
utes in actually boiling suds. This dis
solves any gummy substance that
may not rub out of the fibres, and
makes the clothes more clean and
certainly more healthful. Clothes
soaked over night in warm suds made
with the soap and kerosene mixture
will wash easier and look better, to
say nothing of wearing much longer,
than those Numbered in the ordinary
way. "-MillCduEee Journal.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 2S.-Judge H.
r. Caldwell, of the United States cir

decree tomorrow for the sale Of the
Santa Fe railroad. He is accompanied
by his family, and will leave Topeka
tomorrow for St. Paul. In connection
with the mention of his name as a

that you are for free silver. That is
where you stand, is it not?" asked the
reporter.
The face Of the judge lighted up
with enthusiasm as he answered:
eyes. sir. That is correct. I I'M for
free silver without reservation or any
reference to an international agree
ment. 1t is plain to me that there can
be no international agreement favora-
BILE to silver because England will not
agree to accept free silver. What is
the use of paying any attention to
the foreign countries anyway? Are
we not capable of managing our own
affairs? I think we are, and If not, I
am in favor of annexing the United
States to Canada or some other con
venient country"

flew in all directions.
what the dickens is the enemy fir

tell. Directly another came in through
a port and killed two men who were
near him and then, striking the oppo-
site bulwarks, burst in pieces.
Brown believed it to be some new
tangled paixhan or other, but as four
or five more of them came slap
through his sails. he gave orders to fill
away, and actually backed out of the
fight, receiving a parting broadsidc of
Dutch cheeses.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

to overflowing with water, the great
pressure of which burst the great iron
bands almost simultaneously and the
water shot out in every direction and
came tearing down with the force Of a

the tank when the crash came, but
for some reason they escaped serious
injury. Had it been other than the

water swept two barns nearly into the

was caused by insufficient cast iron
