aad No wrinkles
The marvel of packing clothes Is that
Il is 30 simple. When you see for the
first time professional French packer
YOU win come TO your journeys emu
without rag 10 wear. He puts three
times as many things In the same
space as you would. Some goods wrin-
kle so badly that no care can avert
catastrophe; they come TO grief even
in the hands Of French maid at home
Test everything you buy from TINS
point OF view. With material not
given over to evil you can learn TO pack
so that your clothes won't tell the taie
OF their prison house. The cardinai
point Is to wrap up every delicate gar
ment separately; OF course, II should
be folded smoothly. and to teach now
to fold clothes in print Is not easy
Any good dressmaker. however, can
give you points on that, and the wrap
ping is the more important thing. Pm
towels or sheets of tissue paper aoout
your garment, but remember that news
papers are what you should fold be-
tween each layer of pretty things IN
the trunk. Nothing else Is so good; "
is SO unyielding that wrinkles and pro-
tuberances cannot make themselves
felt through 1t to mark the fabrics be-
meath them any more than II you used
sheet-iron.
In packing breakable articles II is
astonishing how many people will Jam
them down In corners and sides where
they get the full force Of every con-
cussion against the unyieldlng walls
Tie on your corks we'll. Put your bot
tie near the middle OF compartment
and you may carry ink and shoe dress
Ing In safety around the world. In
packing such things as delicate hats
bonnets and fancy waists OF such
fron-frou nature that no pressure car
be allowed on them Il is still better &C
I'LL up the empty space OF the boxes al
lotted them with lightly twisted sheets
OF tissue paper than to give them
chance to move, and with all due re
spect to the best packing in the worlC
Il Is still well to unpack as soon as yos
can.

TOUGHEST SCALP IN NEW YORK.
Surgeons Use Msliot When sewing
Wounds In Skinner. Meshan'. Head.

Surgeons Use Malist When sewing
Wounds In skinner Meshan's Head.
Skinner" Meehan, at one time the
leader OF the famous Cat Alley" gang,
has what Is perhaps the toughest scalp
In New York. u not in the world. says
the New York World. The surgeons at
Gouverneur hospital have had much
experience In sewing up wounds and
they are entitled to speak with author
ity. They unhesltatingiy declare that
Mr.. Meehan's scalp has never been
equalled for thickness and tenacity.
A few nights ago Skinner engaged
in an alteration with Policeman Turn
er of the Madison street station. Skin
ner hit the officer on the nose with his
fist and the blue coat retallated by
breaking his nightstick over Meehans
head. Skinner" resisted. even after
discretion was advisable, and before he
was subdued his scalp was lacerated.
When the surgeons at Gouverneur hos
pital. to which the injured man was
taken, attempted to sew up the wounds
they found that they could not thrust
the sharp. three-coruered needles
through the scalp by ordinary means.
The skin was as thick and tough as
alligator hide. A backing brush was
secured, and using the back OF II as a
mallet, the needles were driven through
the skin and seventeen stitches were
placed In position. During the opera
ton Skinner" swore voTubiy. and
after It was concluded he started out
looking for his assailant. His parents
are respectable people. but Skinner
has been bad for long time.

QUICK LUNCHES MAKE FAT MEN.
Curious Result of the Habit of Eat
ing I'm Hurry

OF the HABIT OF Eat
ing I'm n Hurry.
Another evil result to the deadly
quick lunch has come to light, and the
complaint has foundation OF scienti-
flc probability.
I've noticed" said a man, that
every person who acquires the quick
lunch habit gets fat as soon as lie
comes under the regular influence OF
the system. Men who have been thin
their whole lives have begun to acquire
noticeable stomachs. and others with
disposition to stoutness take on flesh
rapidly. 1t Is perfectly plain to see
why it happens. These daily lunch
cons supply bread, bread, bread, the
most fattening thing a man can eat,
unless 1t be the cakes and pastry that
supplement the bread. There is sugar
in most Of the bread. and 1t Is impossi-
BILE to get any one thing In these places
which does not have a tendency to
make man fat. I've watched 1t In n
dozen cases, and there has not been m
exception. It's all right for the thin
men, but for the fat men it's dreadful.
It's so much cheaper for man to get
fat than to keep thin. When he COM
mences to diet and confines himself to
such things as meat and salads. his
luncheon costs hirn three or four times
as II would If he could eat the sand
witches and the cakes, and the quality
of the food is not so good. Some phil
anthropist ought to open a lunch place
where n man can eat cheaply and still
keep his figure. But I don't see bow
he could make It pay. Something has
got to be done, however. to keep us all
from getting fat because we can't af-
ford to pay for anything but dough-
nuts, sandwiches. cakes and milk

Empty

I wanted 20 rent q house. Ny
friend, Who IS real estate agent,
took me 10 see one which he
thought would suit ne. Il was a
good house and IN a good neigh
borhooj. But, though not really
out of repair, it looked delapida-
ted. The walls were covered with
cobwebs and the windows with
said. | said: Clones, what is the
matter with this place" He re-
piled: The matter is that it has
been empty tor year. When the
owner moved out Of it, he thought
that he could easily rent it for
thirty dollars month. He took
no pains to FIX it up and make it
attractive. It had been a pleas
ant home 20 him, and he believed
that it was good enough for any
body. But days, weeks and even
months passed on no tenant was
secured. Then, instead Of fixing
up the place, he reduced the rent
TO twenty five dollars, then to
twenty, and, finally, growing des-
perate, to fifteen. But the moth
and the dust accumulated, the
boys played in the yard and tram
pied the shrubbery, mice came in
and nibbled the bascboards. The
house seemed TO be elder than it
really was and nobody wanted it
even at hall tie original rent. |
believe that if YOU would take it
and pu- i IN repair, ysu would frd
it b4rsaia; but it is very hard to
rent 4 house that has been empty
tor year"
Perhaps l should have taken
Jones advice, and helped him TO
get a commission, bu: l dill not.
I was Just as shy as the rest of
his customers OF that empty house.
But, a I walked away, / could

Of The Savior II which he told
about 4 house-being left empty

purpose; living just ike the soul

Reader, get good tenant in

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachisn Tube. When this tube
gets inhs.med you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND CUBA.

The report is current in Washington
that President Cleveland is not in favor
of recognizing the belligerency of the
Cuban patriots, and is 10th to ask Spain
to do that which the civilized world
now accepts as the only course to be
pursued by a great power dealing with
any portion of its people in insurrection.
The President, it is said, to his init
mate friends, has stated that crisis is
approaching in Cuban affairs when it
will be necessary for the United States,
IN defence of Americans and American
property to intervene with all the force
and energy of the government to pre-
vent the further continuance of the
ferociOus struggle no being waged by
the Spanish authorities in that island,
in which life and property is recklessly
destroyed, with reference to the ma
tiOnality of the victims or the owners
of the properties which are wantOnly
laid waste. The President hiss strong
sympathies with the Cuban patriots,
but, it is said, he has given tacit
promise to the Spanish Minister at
Washington that this government would
not interfere until the rainy season
had put an end to active military
operations in Cuba, but that after that
time the United States would not per-
init longer continuance of a struggle
that was so prejudicial to the rights of
our citizens and our commerce. The
impression is that if the insurgents
shall hold out until June, President
Cleveland has determined to intervene,
and in such way that the result will
be a speedy settlement of the Cuban
troubles. If these reports be true it
will mean that by midsummer the
United States and Spain will have
locked horns in a waylike contest, for
Spain will not yield until powerless to
help herself. - Chester AdUOcate.
