SWEEPING WITH HOSE
A Blast of Air to Take the Place of
Broom or Carpet Sweeper.

A Blast of Air to Take the Place IF
Broom or Carpet Sweeper.
One Of the most notable of the pres
ent century's small inventions is an
air-pump for cleaning purposes. A hose
pipe charged with air under fifty
pounds pressure to the square inch is
turned upon the article or room to be
cleaned. It is used in precisely the
same way as the water and hose for
washing purposes. 1t is far more ef-
fective in its results than brooms, beat
ers or brushes, as it searches out and
penetrates every crevice and fold of
material and every crack and cleft in
woodwork. "..- ..s ,-.-.
: This device is at present applied to
cleaning cars, but so perfect is its work
that it is only a question Of time when
it will come into use for other pur-
poses. Hotels and large buildings
might be swept out and busted in an
incredibly short space Of time. Care
fully managed, this air pressure would
rid the room of every particle Of dust,
clean furniture, carpets, and the heav-
Ter articles of bric-a-brac and orna-

dozen people.
1t is now in order for some home
missionary to. invent some simple de-
vice that will work an air-pump and
current for household use. Its intro
duction would revolutionize housekeep-
ing and solve the heretofore hopeless
problem Of clean rooms, and will keep
furniture covers and carpets. It would
be economical as it would render Inss
service necessary and would save a
large portion Of the wear and tear
Of furnishing textiles. In houses where
there is hydrant water it would not be
at all difficult to attach an air pump
ing apparatus to the kitchen Oh bath
room faucet and thus furnish power
for every floor.
Some years ago it was said that there
would never be an invention that could
sweep and dust, but at the present
rate Of things the problem is practically
solved by this simple and easily used
device.-Chicago Dispatch.

The Fishing Frog and How 1t Sc.

would you think, Tommy, that
fish would be cruel enough to fish for
other fishes?" -'
'Why not, mother; he has got to
make a iving?"
"But why does he not catch worms
and bugs and snails' and live on sea-
Weeds instead Of catching little ishes?"
''How does he catch them mother,
and what is his name?'' I never heard
of such a fish, 49, 49,
zone thing at a time. There are
many things, Tommy, that you know
now, that you did not know year ago.
1t is very silly thing to say, as many
girls and boys do, when they are told
anything, I never heard of that before!
Why should they have heard Of it? If
they don't inquire and read, and use
their eyes, how are they to learn any
thing they did not learn before?"
eyes, mother, but do not many fish
catch and devour other fish,"
eyes, Tommy; but this fish that was
about to tell you Of is a fisherman, and
does not chase fishes, but catches them
as you do"
'What, does he go out with a fish
pole and an angle worm to tish?'
Pretty nearly! He is called the Lo-
phius or Fishing Frog, or by some the
Frog Fish. It is a sea-fish, which is
shaped like a bull head, or catfish, and
sometimes grows to- the length of two
feet, but it's head is more than half the
length of the fish. Its broad mouth is
armed with sharp, curved teeth, and it
catches it's food in very curious way
It will settle down at the bottom of the
sea, where the water is shallow, and
lie in wait with its mouth wide open.
On the front Of it's head are antennae,
or 'horns,' I suppose you would call
them, being long flexible spikes, shaped
like whip, which end in silvery orna-
ment like the cracker on the whip.
Then, as he lies there almost invisible
in the mud, he sees with his half-shut
eyes, a small fish come playing along,
like a boy going to- school and looking
in the windows to find goodies ~
Mamma, does he go to a school of
fishes?" AZ.
Tommy, you must listen; when. the
little fish sees this silvery bait dangling
in the water, he thinks it must be some
thing good to- eat, and says to himself,
oh, here is a chance to get my dinner
cheaply.' So he plays about it awhile,
as the Lophius or 1oafer,' as we had
better call him, watches the little fell
low through half-shut eyes. Then the
little fish PUSHES at the bait, and tries
to swallow it, when Frog Fish jumps
forward and catches the little fish in his
big mouth and devours him, while the
mud stirred up at the bottom spreads
in a yellow cloud through the water
and hides the MURDER I-- -

SOME CELEBRATED FEASTS.
Meals That Cost Well Up Among the
Hundreds of Thousands,

Hundreds of Thousands.
In 1470 George Nevil was installed
Archbishop of York, England, and gave
a feast of extravagant cost. Here are
some Of the supplies for the mighty
spread: Eight fatted oxen, 300 hogs,
10000 sheep, 1000 chickens, 1000
ducks, 1000 bucks, does and roebucks,
300 tuns Of ale, 1O4 tuns Of wine and
other things in proportion. The total
cost of Nevil's banquet was upwards
of $150,OOO. But the very costliest meal
ever served, as far as history shows,
was a supper given by Aelin Verus,
one of the most lavish of the later-day
Roman aristocrats. The supper was
only intended for dozen persons, yet
its cost was 5000 sestertia, which
would amount to 948,5OO GELS, 500 more
than NEVIS FEAST in English money,
or nearly a quarter of a million dol
lars. The celebrated feast given by
Vitellus, Roman emperor of, those
degenerate days, to his brother Lncius,
cost a fraction over 100000. Suction
JUS says that the banquet consisted Of
1000 different dishes Of fish and 1000
different fowls, besides other courses
in proportion. Vitellus, fortunately for
the world, did not reign very long,
otherwise the game preserves of Libya,
Spain and Britain would have been
exhausted. It may not be out Of place
to mention here that it is recorded as
a curious point Of history that a single
dish on the table of Emperor Helioga-
balus was worth $20O00O.-St Louis

MUST BE EQUAL IN WAGES.
Women Should Not Reduce the Mar
ket Prices for Labor.

Women Should Not Reduce the Mar
ket Prices for Labor.
Mr.. Walter Besant is, as most Of us
know full well, opposed to female. suf-,
frage, but it seems that he is equally
antag onistic to the progress of women
in the fields of labor. He has lately
been interviewed on this subject by "a
paper devoted to the interests Of work
ing women, and in unmistakable terms
he expresses the conviction that women
are bringing most trades and profess
sions ito the dogs" by entering into
competition with men. am naturally
inclined to the view that Women have
a right to engage in any work, says the
Ladies' Pictorial, always provided they
are competent to do so; but agree with
Mr.. Besant so far as to allow that they
have no right to reduce wages. The in
hux Of women into the labor market
has undoubtedly had this effect They
are paid on a much lower scale than
men, and they are consequently driving
their brothers and wOuld-be husbands
from the field.
Now, il we are capable of doing the
work of which men have hitherto held
the monopoly, we deserve to be paid as
tey have been paid. "a laborer is
worthy of his hire and there is no pos
sible reason why a female clerk should
be offered lower salary than man
But as long as we accept half terms
without protest we shall assuredly be
offered them. IF we ask higher wages
and are as competent as men to do the
work we undertake we shall probably
get them. We have certainly no right
to reduce market prices. And lie we do
not demand to be equal with man in
this respect, we certainly cannot expect
justice in other matters. This is. after
all mere question of give and take,
and / am bound to admit that Mr..
Besant only asks us to deal fairly with,
the other sex ~

them, speaking sincerely and only as
one who is familiar with the evidence
in the case and who has made careful

mighty effort was made to send these
two defendants to states prison upon
evidence showing that nothing more
than an assault and battery had been
committed, and not reliable enough or
sufficient to raise more than asuspicion
that the defendants had committed
that. Most evil and dangerous infu
ences were brought to bear to secure
their being held for trial. Not satisfied
with the kind Of an examination which
the law has provided, the public press
and private individuals, ignorant of
both the law and the facts in this case,
attempted to force a decision against
the law and the conscience of the JUS
tice. But to all these influences JUS

the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

family laxative, Syrup Of Figs, prompt
Nv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene

which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
