HINTS on MAKING UP A nrp.

a
At Aunty's in the mountains help is
hard to get, and Auntie and her
daughters make their own beds, and
do much of the homework outside of
the kitchen. Do you know how to
make bed? 1t looks very easy, yet
there is an art in doing it well.
In the first place, you must thor
oughly air your bed everyday. Pull
the bedclothes apart, set the mattress
on end, if it is in two pieces so that
you can manage it, and open the win
dows widely. Leave bed and bedding
this way, exposed to air and sunlight,
for at least an hour. Then spread
your under sheet smoothly on the
mattress tucking it well in at the top.
Similarly tuck the upper sheet in with
great care ut the bottom of the bed,
so that it will not work loose and
leave the feet of restless sleeper
exposed. Be sure in laying on your
blankets that the open end of them
is at the top of the bed. A person
often requires second thickness of.
blankets before morning, and can ar
range it as he wishes if the closed
end of the blanket is at the bottom of
the bed.
Now comes your dainty upper
spread, to be folded up and laid
aside at night, your bolster, and your
pillows. l would enjoy sleeping in a
bed made by one of my girls if she
followed these directions. -Harper's

Keeping an Eye on Them,

will be your duty to keep your eye on
him.
"But it will be hard to watch two
men and the bank at the same time. "

"Why, sir, it was only yesterday that
the manager called me in for a talk, and

Old Fashioned Discipline.

Collingwood kept officers i'll as good
order as men. II have given you COM
mission into the Excellent, said st.
Vincent to young officer, "but remem-
Der that you are going to man who
will take it away from you tomorrow
if you behave i'll " He also paid partic-
ular attention to his midshipmen, con
sidering it point of honor with HIM
self that not one should leave him unfit
to pass for promotion. Yet it was his
inf1exible rule to uphold the authority
of every officer, whatever his rank, with
the same severity as his own.
If a midshipman made complaint
against a man, that man was unfailing-
ly ordered for punishment, but mean
while Collingwood took the lad aside
and suggested to him the propr1ety OF
asking grace for the culprit when he
should be brought out. In all probable
ity the fault was yours, he would say,
"but whether it was or not l am sure
it would go to your heart to see a man
old enough to be your father dlsgraced
and punished on your account. " So the
midshipman interceded; the captain,
with some showpf reluctance, pardoned,
and discipline was upheld.
On the other hand, he woTld not even
permit his officers to address man as
"you, sir" Ga form of appellation which
lasted in the army until the Crimean
war, but now survives, SO far as we
know, only among the negroes in the
West Indies), on the ground that it was
unnecessary, discourteou3 and contemp-
tuous- eff you don't know mans

officer ought to know his men by name,

Gresham's Plain Ways.

Judge Gresham, says the Washington
Post, was never much impressed by the
founce and frill of official life. His
methods were as easy and direct as Bis
marck's. This easy, careless plan of do
ing business was more than once shock
to the diplomatic colony In Washington.
They did not know how to tske Gresh-
ANS blunt fashion of doing business.
On one occasion a couple of under
diplomats of one Of the legations were
ushered into the diplomatic room to
make what they intended should be a
very formal call upon the secretary of
state 1t was hot August afternoon.
They found the secretary in his shirt
sleeves and with his slippered feet plac-
ed comfortably in window where he
could have the full benefit of the Poto-
mac breeze, He was smoking very
strong cigar and was adding to his COM
fort IS much as possible With q palm
leaf fan. Ee turned his head amtably
toward the callers, both of whom he had
met before and knew, and waving his
hand Hospitality said: Excuse my not
getting up, gentlemen. Pull up some
chairs by the window. You will find
some cigars on the desk. "
This gave the European disciples of
red tape a severe shock at the time and
aroused considerable gossip in an un-
dertone in what are called diplomatic
circles. The callers were by no means
sure that their country's dignity had
not been seriously infringed by our Sec
retary's informal reception.

Changing Diseases.

In that delightful book, "Rider
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ing from a malarial neighborhood,
that it don't do for a man at his
time of life to 90 about changing
his diseases and adding, that there
are diseases incident to almost
every locality, and he likes a dis
ease he is used to.
Now, in case of malarial dis
eases, aside from the unwilling
ness of patients to "change dis
cases." it is generally not conven-
lent to change their residence. If
this were done in every case, some
of our most thriving communities
would be depopulated.
Nothing is left to do therefore
but to fortify oneself against mala-
rial influences. For this purpose
Drs, Starkey & Palen's Compound
Oxygen has proved itself in the
past % years the most efficient
thing in the world.
ANY person desiring to change
diseases for health should write us
a plain statement of the case, when
if possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with
out charge. Address Drs. Stark
ey G Palen, 1929 Arch Street,

Sponges.

Mr.. W. B. Burk, who has made a
close study and examination Of the
sponges found in different parts Of the
globe, declares that there are no sponges
in any land in the world that can equal
the Florida sheep wool for softness and
strength, and no better bath sponge has
been discovered than good solid sheep
wool, although it is generally employed
for washing carriages, ETC., and though
in former years the sponges were loaded
with lime or sand, such kind or de-
scription of the article is not often to be
met with. The Florida sheep wool is
the best variety of sponge, being of very
fine texture, soft, strong and durable.
The yellow sponge is of fine quality, but
not firm in texture, and not nearly so
soft OF durable as the first named The
grass sponge is quite inferior to the 9TH
ers, not being so strong nor so desirable
in shape, and is easn y torn.
The Cuban sponges, Mr.. BQrk says,
are the next best to the Florida, the
principal varieties found in Cuba or the
West Indies being the sheep WOOL reef,
yellow and grass, also velvet, which are
next best to the sheep wool sort The
finer grades of sponges are found princi-
pally in the Mediterranean, such as the
fine surgeons, toilet, bathing and nurs-
cry sponges, and these are of much
higher price than any others. They are
fished principally by divers, sometimes
at great depth, and after being brought
to the land are buried in the sand and
allowed to decompose, and subsequently
we'll washed, beaten with a small stick
and thoroughly cleaned. York

Not According to the Code.

While at the rendezvous at Rushville
and on the march to the front Lincoln, of
course, drilled his men and gave them
such meager instruction in military tao
tics as he could impart. In marching one
morning at the head of the company, who
were following in lines of 20 abreast, 1t
became necessary to pass through gate
much narrower than the lines The cap
tain could not remember the proper COM
mand to turn the company endwise, and
the situation was becoming decidedly en-
barrassing when one of those thoughts
born of the depths of despair came to his
rescue. Facing the lines, he shouted
Haiti This company will break ranks
tor two minutes and form again on the
bther side of the gate.'' The maneuver
was successfully executed.
