HOUSE AND HOME TALK.

To decorate a CRATE that is not re-

containing ferns.
II you possess a coZy corner with a
shelf at the top have a zinc trough made

In washing grained woodwork use
clear water or weak cold tea. Where
there are finger marks to be removed,
such as around the door knob or on the
window sill, little fine soap may be
used, but only just enough to do the
work, for soap should not be used on
this woodwork If it can be avoided.

away in peculiar manner which tends
to preserve its freshness. Sprinkle -four

into this pack the loaves, taking care
to have the top crusts of two loaves
touching. When they have to lie bot
tom to bottom sprinkle flour between
them. Tie up the sack and hang 1t up
in dry, airy place, where 1t can swing.
The day before the loaf is wanted take
it out, brush off the flour, and stand it
in the cellar over night. Treated in this
manner bread remains good several
weeks.

MULE WAS A POOR SUBSTITUTE.
Disastrous Resuits of an Innovation In
n Lodge Ceremony.

bhNHbATOuS htHuttt IN INNOVATION IN
a Lodge Ceremony.
From the Portland Oregonian: The
little black mule which is seen on the
streets very frequently with children on
his back has attained quite a reputa-
tion among the various east side lodges
during the past few weeks. 1t is gem
orally supposed that all candidates
ride the goat" when initiated in Sc
cret organizations, but 1t has been
bad year for goats, and some OF the
lodges have been in the habit of bor-
rowing this mule instead and giving the
candidate ride around the hall on its
Dack On one occasion, a few evenings
ago, it is reported the initiatory cere-
mony came to grief. The candidate had
been bllndfolded, so it is related, in
the anterooll, and then brought into
the lodgeroom, where he was mounted
on the mule. The guide was immedi-
ately in the rear, while the mule was
being led by one Of the brothers. Sew
eral others were near at hand on either
side. The procession approached the
chair of the presiding officer. Sudden
" the mule stopped and refused to go
forward No amount of pulling and
urging could get him to bulge. Final
ly one Of the brethren told the guide TO
twist the mules tail. The guide never
mad any experience with twlstlng
mules tails, or he would have declined
to do SO, but, being ignorant OF the
mule nature to resent such indignity, ne
promptly seized the rather short caudal
appendage and gave a twist. The mule
was little surprised, but, quickly re-
covering, let fly both feet, lifting the
onender nearly to the ceiling. The
mule plunged forward toward the chair
OF the presiding officer with the can
didate still clinging to the saddle for
dear life. The presiding officer man
aged to jump out of the way. From
here the animal made for the secre-
tary, who lodged under the table. HIS
head was now turned down the hall,
and away he went, over chairs and
members, whom he knocked down in
every direction. The candidate by this
time had fallen from the mules back.
Around and around the mule flew until
the hall was in the widest state OF
confusion, everybody trying to catch
the mule, which made several almost
successful efforts to plunge out of
window into the street below. Finally,
in making turn in one corner of the
hall, the mule fell, and dozen men
piled on top of him and held him firm.
He was taken downstairs by one OF the
brothers and led hcme. After order
was restored the candidate was per-
mitted to sign the constitution and be-
come a member without further cere-
monies. A motion was passed to the ef-
feet that any member divulging the un-
happy event of the evening should be
expelled from the lodge without re-
course. But most of the members are
married and told their wives. Then the
secret Leaked cut. All other lodges hay-
ing occasion to use the mule will be
careful not 20 twist his tai at any time
during the ceremonies.

Light on a Dark hIYsterY.

There is an organization in Boston
known as the Society of Psychical Re-
search. The other evening at one of the
meetings certain person, said to poss-
ess remarkable occult powers, volun-
teered to give an exhibition, which Of
fer was gladly accepted by the society.
The professor" was woman, slightly
built, with pallid cheeks and dark raven
hair.
One of the members, while not par
ticularly skeptical, thought he would
try little experiment on his own ac-
count, so before going to the meeting
he provided himself with some pieces of
phosphorescent paper that in the dark
lit up like a glow worm. This he tore
into small pieces and lst before the
lights were eXtinguished contrived to
place three or four bits of the paper on
the professors" head. Then he sat
down and waited.
When the room was dark the "profes-
sor's' Uranium emitted d pale light,
visible to every one in the room but the
professor" herself. In a few minutes
the phenomena began, but, strange to
relate, when a tambourine III one corner
of the room began to sound, the illumin-
ated head was there also, and the mov-
ing aboutof the operator could be easily
traced. The suppressed mirth told the
professor" something was wrong, and
when the light was turned en- and the
paper discovered the remarks made
wer. far from spiritual. There were no
more manifestations that nisht--Bos-
