ENAMEL FINISH.
Ono of tho Most Desirable Agents For
Freshenins Up Old Furniture.

Ono of tho Most Desirable Agents For
Freshening Up Old Furniture.
Enamel, which, owing to its hard
surface, is sometimes called porcelain
finish, may be bought ready mixed in
pint cans in white cream and variety
Of delicate tints, and also in certain rich
shades Of terra Gotta, indian red and
other dark colors, though the light hues
greatly predominant. General directions
accompany each can, and if these are
carefully fi.,llowed failure will be impos-
sible. In einameliDg even more than in
vanishing it is necessary to allow each
coat to become perfectly dry before ap-
plying the next.
The enamel sold in the small cans is
quite expensive, but Decorator and Fur
nisher gives the assurance that a can
will cover quite large surface if the
wood is first ''sized" with primary
coat of common paint. This provides a
smooth, hard surface upon which to ap-
ply the enamel, and fewer coats will
thus be required to produce glossy fin
ish.
When large surfaces are to be treated,
and economy must be considered, very
good quality Of enamel may be prepared
at home, the necessary ingredients be-
ing pure zinc white and varnish, both
of the best quality. These must be mix
ed until the proper consistency has been
reached. 1t is impossible to give the
exact quantities, as the varnish often
varies in density, calling for more or
less zinc white. When the varnish is
very thick and heavy, thin it with lit
tie turpentine and then add the zinc
white. The latter should be fine pow
der and should be sifted through q
coarse net to exclude all Jumps Of gritty
PARTICLES Zinc white already prepared
with varnish for making the porcelain
finish may be obtained in large cans,
and many painters prefer to purchase it
in this way, sometimes finding it neces-
sary to thin it by adding small guam
tity of turpentine.

They Didn't Know.

"Why," asked the philosopher, why is
It that a man-the noblest created object
why is it that man should have such
doubts of his ability to win woman's al
lection when he considers the success IN
that line of a pop eyed, padding shaped,
pretzel tailed pug dog?"
But the assembled listeners answered
him not.-Indianapolis Journal.

Sharpness of woman's Tongue.

A newly-married couple on the train
near Gainesville, Ga, the other day, at
tracted good deal of attention by
their peculiar behavior. A lady got on
the train at station, and took seat
in front of them. Scarcely was she
seated before they commenced making
remarks in loud whispers about her
wearing last seasons hat and dress
She was severely criticised by them for
some moments. Presently the lady
turned around. She noticed at a
glance that the bride was older than
the groom and, without the least re-
sentiment in her countenance, she said:
Madam, will you please have your
son close the window behind you?"
The son closed his mouth instead, and
the bride did not giggle again for an
hour.

The Bedbug In English Law.

Whereas the presence of bedbugs is
regarded by the English courts as con-
shutting an adequate ground for the
breaking of the lease of a dwelling
house, the French tribunals have hith-

In Difference, however, to the recon-
mendation of the leading medical au-
thorities, Endorsed by the council Of

THE BICYCLE CRAZE.
Livery StabIemen Say That 1t Has Seri-
ousIy Affected Their Profits.

ousIy Affected Their Profits.
The competition of the bicycle has
become a serious factor in the problem
of successfully operating livery and
boarding stables. An inquiry among a
number of proprietors of large and
small stables in this city brought out
the fact that their business has been
seriously interfered with by the bicycle
craze, says the New York sun.
The livery stables, and particularly
those making a speciality of letting out
light traps for an afternoon or an even
ing, feel the competition heavily" said
a livery stable man.
1.-THE young men who formerly made
a practice of taking their best girls
buggy riding all have wheels now, and
the girls have wheels, too, and they go
cycling instead of driving. It's cheaper
and they like the exercise better.
"This is more noticeable in the small
country town than in the city. The
stablemen up the state and all through
New Jersey are feeling it badly.
have been told that some of them have
been forced out of the business entire
ly and that others are losing money,
but are keeping on in the hope of MAX
ing up for it when the snow comes"
Another livery stable man said that
he thought the advent of self-propelled
vehicles would still further interfere
with business.
"They have proved successful in
France" he said, land 1 do not think
1t viii be long before Central park will
be full of them"
The riding academies do not fear the
wheel.
The horse and the bicycle appeal to
different persons" said the manager of
one OF the academies. "Of course, those
who ride horseback will often try a
a wheel for fun, but never think of neg
lectipg the horse for its sake.

QUEER USE OF A CIGAR.
Sorry Which Shows a Sea Captains Pres.
ence of Mind,


ence of Mind.
A good story is told of a sea captain
who died not long ago and who was
formerly in command of a ship in which
passengers were carried from London
to Lisbon. On one occasion, says Tit
Bits, the ship caught fire and the pas
sengers and crew were compelled to
take hurriedly to the boats. The cap
tain remained perfectly cool through
out all the confusion and fright of the
debarkation, and at last everyone ex-
cept himself was got safely into the
boats
BY the time he was ready to follow
the passengers were almost wild with
fear and excitement. Instead of hur-
rying down the ladder the captain
called out to the sailors to hold on q
minute, and, taking a cigar from his
pocket, coolly lighted it with bit of
burning rope which had fallen from
the rigging at his feet. Then he de-
scended with elaboration and gave the
order to push off.
"How could you stop to light cigar
at such moment?" he was asked after
ward, when some of the passengers
were talking over their escape.
Because" he answered, II saw that
If did not do something to divert the
minds of those in the boat there was
likely to be panic, and cvercrowded
as it was, there was danger of the
boat being upset. The act took but a
moment, but it attracted the attention
of everybody. l was not nearly so un-
concerned as seemed to be, but was
Z, reality in a fever of excitement
My little plan succeeded. You all for
got yourselves because you were think
ing of my curious behavior, and we got
off safely"

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING MANIA.
1t Is Rushed At by People Old Enough to
Know Better.

Know Better.
Most of us have, at some time or
other, climbed a mountain, and felt
some slight and unaccountable effects
from either the rarity of the air or gid
diness ON looking at the distance trav-
ersed. have been informed by trav-
eler of repute, says writer in London
Sketch, that mountain sickness is now
a well-developed complaint which fire.
quently attacks people who, on and
after middle age, take to unaccustomed
climbing. This fact adds new terror
to existence. Seasickness we know,
and it takes many journeys to outgrow,
but always thought we were safe on
land. From what my informant said,
am rather inclined to believe that
such troubles are due in great part to
the overwrought nervous systems of
many people, who rush through ex-
istence with the speed, noise and rattle
of the Scotch express. The art of be-
ing lazy has gone to join the art of be-
ing contented, and left, as its successor,
condition of nervous excitement that
must make life almost uncomfortable to
a weIl-regulated mind.
1t is good thing that Nature de-
mands her penalty for instructed en-.
ergy, and she certainly finds a new
complaint for every new indiscretion.
The folly of madly rushing over noun
tains without any provocation beyond
a healthy bank balance has attracted
her attention, hence mountain sickness.
And although we may endeavor to
cheat in many ways, Natures retribu.
ton is invariably bound to come, even
after many years, when we feel in
clined to claim statute Of limitations
for the benefit of long-forgotten indis.
cretions.

A NARROW EscAPE.-On the Vir-

Railway, in Neapolis, is a high and long
trestle over branch. Ellen William.
son, colored, about - years of age,
started to walk over the trestle on
Tuesday, and when about fifty feet
from the north end heard train ap.
preaching. She started to run ahead
Of the train and fell ON the single plank
laid across the sills. The train was
coming down grade, and though the
brakes were applied, the engineer hav
ing seen the girl, the train could not be
stopped, but passed over the PROSTATE
form of the girl On reaching the depot
the engineer reported that some one
had been killed at the trestle, ard
box car was sent back to bring in the
remains. But when the roadmen reach
ed the place they found the girl sitting
up, but with the back of her head bleed
ing profusely 1t is evident that she
was struck by the fire box and received
a severe but not fatal scalp wound.
The girl falling and having the pres
ence of mind to lie still saved her life.
