To Clean Ivory Handled Knives.

Ivory knife handles may be whitened
considerably and kept so If they are occa-
sionally soaked in alum water The alum
water must boil first and then cool before
the knives are placed in it. Let them re-
main in the water an hour, then remove
and brush with nailbrush. Take clean
linen towel, wet with cold water, wiring il
as dry as possible, wrap the knife handles
in this and let them dry slowly If they
are allowed to dry too quickly from the
alum water, they will not be satisfactory,
but if these directions are carefully carried
out they will be nice and white After the
blades have been cleaned they may be bril-.
liantly polished with charcoal powder. -

How tn Go Up and Down Stairs.

Very many diseases are brought on and
others are aggravated by going up and
down stairs in an incorrect fashion. Few
people 90 up stairs in a sensible and ra-
tional way. 1t is the custom to rest the
weight on the ball of the foot and give .
little spring TO the next step. This is not
only hard work, but is an unnecessary
strain on the muscles, and very exhausting
to delicate people. Going up in this way
is bad enough, but going down in the Gus
tomary manner is thousand times worse.
To bounce from one step To another, strik-
ing the weight on one or both feet, is al
most certain TO produce serious disease.
II there is any weakness of the organs Of
the body, there is liable TO be breaking
away of ligaments or rupturing of the
tissues Severe pain and long continued
illness have in more than one instance
been traced directly to the peTnicious habit
of bouncing down stairs. At the moment
the person does not realize it-indeed,
may continue in the practice for a long
time, suffering meanwhile, but either un-
able or unwilling to attribute the distress
to the correct source.-New York Ledger.

MOTH ACCUSED OF MURDER.
Singular Defense Advanced to Exculpats
An Accused PRINCE.

singular pehehso Advanced to Excuipate
An Accused Prince.
Recent murder mysteries serve to recall
that of Princess Carayella. q singularly
lovely woman who met with violent
death at Naples. The princess had been
entertaining pa-ty ef friends at dinner
at the Caraveila palace, and as she had
promised to attend a ball toward mid
night she went TO her bedroom to lie down
for few minutes rest TO refresh herself
for the dance.
At IL o'clock her maid entered the room
to awaken her, whereupon the princess
asked her To return little later, and 30
minutes afterward, when she returned,
the girl found her mistress still lying on
her bed with scarcely a muscle of the face
changed, but stone dead, with the mark
of tiny bullet In the region of the heart.
The maids shrieks quickly brought the
prince and the whole household to the
room, and within ten minutes the judicial
and police authorities arrived. 1t was
clear that no stranger had fired the shot,
since the bedroom was situated on the
third floor and no one had entered tho
gates of the palace between the hour OF
10 and midnight.
At length the prince was arrested on
charge of having murdered his wife with
the little pistol which lay by her side on
the table and one chamber of which was
empty, color being lent TO the accusation
by the fact that he was VIGOROUSLY jealous.
His trial resulted in acquittal partly in
consequence of an extraordinary piece of
testimony which was produced in court by
one of the police officials The story no re-
lated was this:
A couple OF days after the murder, on
the removal Of the seals from the doors of
the bedroom, he had made a careful inves-
tigation of the apartment and had found
on the floor by the bedside one of those
enormous night moths the bodies of which
are almost as thick as a man $ thumb and
which abound In Italy.
He declared that the moths wings were
badly singed, as If 1t had flown against the
candle that stood on the table by the bed
side. He produced the moth In court and
then proceeded TO point out to the judges
that some Of the powder of the insect 5
wings was apparent on the black ebony
volver which had been found on the table
and with which the shooting had been
done.
He then called the attention of the
judges and jury TO the phenomenal facility
with which the trigger yielded and ad-
vanced the extraordinary argument that
the princess had been murdered by the
night moth. which. he alleged must have
flown into the room. attracted by the can
die light, and falling with singed wings
on TO the table had discharged the revolver
In the violence az its contortions.
