Handy Co Hnvo Around.

An essential article for the kitchen
for the use of persons with sensitive
hands is liquid to counterfeit the &C.
ton of the alkalies of strong soda on
the hand. One Of the best prepare
tions consists of equal parts of citric
acid and glycerine, mixed together
and kept near the sink. AS soon as
the dishes are washed, wash the hands
carefully in wash dish in little
clear, warm water, so as to remove all
traces of the soapsuds Of the dishpan.
Dry the hands and rub them carefully
with a little of the preparation of cit
rio acid and glycerine and dry the
hands with a soft towel. By this
means the most sensitive hands may
be kept white and soft and free from
chatting in the coolest weather. In de-
fault of anything else little vinegar
and cream will act satisfactorily, and
there will be no stamp left upon the
hands of the ever-recurring task of
the dishpan.

One woman,s Ready wit.

A young woman who lives near a
railway crossing, looking out of the
window the other day, saw a laborer
jump from one track to the other to
escape an approaching freight train.
He was apparently dazed by terror and
stood still, not seeing that an express
train was rushing down upon him. The
girl saw that before she could make
him understand his danger it would be
too late. She therefore threw up her
arms, shrieking wildly, Help! help!
helpw trusting to the impulse which
sends man on the instant to the re-
lief Of a woman in distress. I'm COM
ing~ shouted the laborer, springing
toward her in time to escape the engine
as it rushed past. He stared back at
it, and then at the woman crying and
laughing in the window, and, taking
off his hat and shaking hands, said:
81 owe you something, MISS" and
walked away.

In the memoirs Of my grandfather,
DR.. John C. Warren, the second pro.
lessor of anatomy at Harvard, and who
succeeded his father in that chair, is
an interesting passage describing how,
when student, he, with others,
"raised" a body. He says; when my
father came up in the morning to lee

this scrape he was very much alarmed,
but when the body was uncovered and
he saw what a fine, healthy subject it
was he seemed to be as much pleased

ourRAN THE CYCLISTS.
Harris" a Hobo, Played Sleeper" with

hhrrls,' HOBO, Phyed sleeper with
Some Irish wheelmen.
According to an Irish paper entitled
the Wexford Free Press, a wonderful
feat of pedestrianism was accomplish
ed at town called Enniscorthy very
recently. One day man who would
be described in polite circles as be-
longing to the "itinerant class" stroll
ed leisurely into the market square Of
the town. On his breast he carried a
placard with the brazen announcement
that he was open to run any man in
the world. A crowd, among whom
were several cyclists, Immediately
gathered around the seeming hobo, who
said his name was Harris, and that
he could cover eleven miles in less
than an hour. It was decided without
delay to give Harris trial by running
along the public road to the village of
Ferns, five and a half miles distant,
and back. An impromptu set Of Off
cials was formed from the cyclists. Har-
ris started at clipping pace, and the
three cyclists who accompanied him
had to hump themselves in order to
keep up. He reached Ferns well in
side the half hour, and, with the I'M
wavering persstency of Comanche
brave on hot TRAIL started on the
homeward journey. The wheelmen ex-
pected he would weaken at the finish,
but instead he reached the goal with
an elasticity and endurance that scorn-
ed fatigue. The time returned by the
four timers was Sc minutes fiat The
best previous figures for eleven miles
is Sc minutes So seconds, by "Deerfoot,"
at London, England, in 1868. If Har-
ris' challenge is not taken by any one
on the other side, he is preparing to
come to America to try his luck.

The Civillzing Power of Irrigation,


The evolutionary process of the last
twenty years has brought out some
very valuable lessons for the future
Of California. 1t was demonstrated
that irrigation is essential to the high
est standard Of civilization. The CEN
sus of 1890 revealed the fact that two
thirds of the gain in rural population
stood to the credit Of eight counties
where irrigation prevailed. The coun-
ties which rely upon rainfall had
about reached a standstill or scored a
loss. The people have always been
divided on the question as to whether
irrigation Is necessary. Those who
oppose urge that it breeds malaria and
injuries the quality of the fruit. Those
who favor insist that 1t is essential
to the most scientific agriculture and
in the maintenance of dense popula-
.tion. The last twenty years have an
swered the question forever. The an
swer consists of a COMPARE
son between the south and
the north. The one was born Of the
irrigation canal, the other of the min
ing camp and the wheat ranch. The
one is characterized by high civiliza-
tion, the other by low one.-Century.

Odd Within of a Rich Man.

The type of American citizen who
wears his best clothes on Sunday
reaches a sublime height in q. W..
Davis, who lives in a cottage six days
in the week and in palace on Sunday.
Mr.. Davis is president of the Stand
ard Lighting Company, in Cleveland,
Ohio, is interested in the manufactured
of bicycles and in many other enter
prises.
For many years he has passed his
Sundays in Canton, the handsome and
opulant capital of Ohio. The other six
days of the week he has spent attend
ing to his business in Cleveland, the
busy metropolis of the State.
On his six working days Mr.. Davis
lives in a one-story cottage at No. "a
Morse avenue, Cleveland. It is about
as simple and inexpensive as a house
can be consistent with comfort. The
owner does not stay very long in it,
for he is very hard worker, and his
day is chiefly spent in the business
centre of the city.
The Sunday palace in Canton has
just been completed. 1t cost $4,000
and contains every luxury and comfort
proper to a modern American house
and some unusual ones. It is really
one of the finest houses in Canton,
which is a city of handsome and COM
Portable dwelling places.
The house is built of stone, with a
Spanish tile roof. The lookout on the
roof is 40 feet above the Canton pub
lie. square.
On the third floor is small theatre
finished in the finest mahogany. Here
concerts and amateur dramatic per-
formances, of which Mr.. Davis is very
fond, are given.
The caves of the house are fitted
with electric wires, to which scores of
incandescent lamps can be attached.
Mr.. Davis has a habit of spending
Fourth of July, Lincoln's Birthday
and other national holidays at his
Canton palace. Then the electric
lights are turned on, the band plays
and all Cantonites are delighted to
know that their wealthy and industri-
Gus citizen is taking day off in adj
dition to his Sundays.
Mr.. Davis is type rare in any coun-
try but this. Six days a week he
passes in fierce and unremitting toll,
interrupted only by quick lunches and
brief periods of sleep in a house just
large enough for human habitation.
One day a week he lives in the palace
