Peripatetic Knife Grinders.

Knife grinders in this town retain
the wandering instinct that has be-
longed to their craft from time imme-
mortal. Being peripatetic. it is sim
pie and easy thing TO prolong a days
walk to the next city, and so by de-
grees all over the union. They are sell
dom native Americans, never negroes,
and as often as not Germans. They
are found in large numbers on the east
side and on the west, but are seldom
seen in the main business thorough
fares. Their best customers used to be
the butchers, but the travelling tool
shop, with all the appliances for sharp
ening edged tools, setting saws, and
repairing cutlery has somewhat cut in
to the trade of the wandering knife
grinder. Scissors grinding for nom
professional women is now an impor-
tant part of their trade, and in many
country districts they are called scis-
sors grinders.-N. Y. sun.

MADE THE SERVANTS PAY.
How a Woman Considerably Lessened the
Breakace of Her Dishes

Breakage of Her Dishes
A lady who had been much annoyed
by the breaking of her dishes by care
less dOmestics has broken up the prac-
tice entirely in her house. She I'm
quired infinitely into the cause of each
breakage, and if she felt it was the re-
suit of carelessness she made the ser v
ant buy one like it from her own
wages. This action cost her several
trials in the way of new servants, but
she Always informed them on coming
what they must expect, and they ac-
copied her service with their eyes wide
open. She finds that dishes can be
washed with as much care by her serv-
ants as by herself. 1t looks a little
exacting, perhaps, at first notice, but
is only just after all. A glass, broken
saucer, or a cracked teacup seems a
small matter to a servant, but it may
mean an irretrievably ruined set of
beautiful dishes for the mistress, and
when that fact is impressed on the
maids mind, and she understands that
she will have to pay for her careless
ness, she will become surprisingly care
full 1t must be clearly explained be-
forehand and agreed upon; to put it in
writing is best by all agreements

THE KIcKAPoo OPENING.
The Proclamation May Be Issued Within
Thirty Days.


Thirty Days.
WASHINGTON, May 6-Within thirty
days President Cleveland will issue his
proclamation opening the Kickapoo
reservation to settlement, and the
thousands of settlers who have pa
tiently withstood privations to retain
place upon the border of that richest
section of all Oklahoma may make
their preparations for a race which
congress delivers over to the swift and
the strong.
1t is entirely probable, although the
probability yet lacks the sanction of
official action, that Oklahoma will in
advance be permitted to make its
school indemnity selections of $4,000
acres within the limit of the reserva-
ton. 1t is believed, however, by those
most conversant that fortnight should
be sufficient for that purpose, and in
that event the presidents proclamation
will be issued within three weeks and
800 square miles of the most fertile
land in the southwest will then be
opened to settlement.
