SCHOONER on THE BAR.
Efforts to Assist Her Are so Far Un-
availing.

New York, March PA dispatch re-
ceived this morning from the marine
observer at Fire island says that there
is a three masted schooner ashore at
Jones Inlet on the bar. The life saw
ing crew at that place have put off to
her and have succeeded in getting on
board.
No farther particulars can be given
till they return. The schooner's name is
not known. A dispatch from the ma
rine observer at Fire Island says that
the life saving crew from Point Look
out, Short Beach and Zachs inlet, are
on the beach at Jones Inlet, and did
not get off to the schooner as previous
ly reported.
They have not yet succeeded in rem
dering any assistance to the stranded
schooner on account of the high sea
that is beating on the beach. There is
a Chapman tug lying near, but it can
not reach her for the heavy sea.

WHERE to Keep the F1eur.

Flour is one of the cooking materials
that often receive no thought as to
where they shall be kept Many houses
are not provided with q store closet, and
barrel of -four is put in the corner of
the kitchen behind an outside door "to
have it out of the way and not fill up the
pantry" Dampness affects flour, max
ing it close and heavy; besides -four will
absorb the odor of many things as
quickly as butter, so if one wishes to be
sure of good and light bread and cakes
the first thing to do is to Fill up the

of wood for the barrel to stand upon.

The latest fads for young peoples en-
Hertainments are called noSe-fad Socia-
bles They afford an opportunity foE
mild dissipation, busted with exciting
uncertainty. Here is the scheme:
Hang a sheet of canvas from the cell
ing to the floor, and cut small holes in
the sheet. Then collect as many pretty
girls as you can on one side of the can
vas and as many good-loOking young
men on the other. Then let the girls
Mace their noses in the holes in the
canvas. A young man must choose a
nose that appeals to his sense of beau
ty, and the young woman attached to
that nose becomes his partner for the
evening.
Now, everyone is aware that a young
man uses extravaganza language. He
tells a pretty girl that her features are
craven on his heart; that he instinct
lively feels her presence; that he would
recognize her in the dark. and all that

la fine test of such a. young man s sin
lcerfty. OF course there is always one
particular girl at the sociable whom
this young man ardently desires for a
partner He walks along the stretch of
canvas, and, with palpitating heart, h9
surveys the noses that are presented to
his anxious gaze. Say his particular
girl has a tfp-tilted nose. He has often
told her that. Embodied, he would
know her. IF there was but one ret
rousse nose projecting through the can

his sweetheart that he has spoken true.
Bue there are half a dozen such noses.
Each turns up in the same gentle curve;
each has the same delicate nosrril; be-
hind each, he thinks, stands his sweet
heart vexed and pouting because he
does not instantly recognize her nose.

A Really Dainty md Pleasing Pres
ent for Easter Morning.
Gifts of flowers are so specially APP
propriate to the Easter season that the
accompanying design of little vase
to hold them, made of an eggshell, and
thus adding the Easter symbol to the
fragrant resemblance, will doubtless be
welcome to many readers. The top
of the eggshen is irregularly broken
and three white beans are gummed
upon the other end to serve for feet.
The whole is then covered with gilt
paint and decorated with tiny land
scape painted in oil colors. Those who
have no skill to do this, or who con-
slider it scarcely worth while to put so
much labor on so fragile an article,
will find the effect very pretty if the

WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR IT'S
HEAT.-Sunday, the 4th of July, was
a scorcher in many of the Middle and
Western States. In Cincinnati, Ohio,
the mercury registered 50 degrees at
5 P. NJ. About 4 hundred cases Of
sunstroke were reported, so of which
were serious, requiring hospital treat
ment. Nearly a score of deaths re-
suited. At Toledo, Ohio, the Their
mometer recorded 115 degrees in the
shade, and many cases of prostration
were reported. Five fatal cases were
reported in Louisville, KY. At De-
troit, Mich, the highest point re-
corded Sunday was 81 degrees, and
several cases of sunstroke are re-
ported in Southern towns OF the State.
In Chicago, the temperature lowered
about 80 the greater part of the day,
and there were a score of prostrations
from the heat. The hot wave seemed
to surge from Pittsburg as far west as
Kansas City, and from Chicago many
degrees south. Throughout this dis
trict the thermometer ranged from
80 to 100 degrees, and prostrations
and deaths are reported from all parts
of the wide area of parched earth.

Ko.0 KauterIzes the Kantan ker GUS
kOart.

ED. Standard:
AS was anticipated the "Supe
Koart" has "knocked the stuflin"
out'n the exemption law, which SIM
ply emphasizes the fact, asserted by
many, that there is little use of Leg
islaturc if the judgment of five men is
assumed to be superior of that OF 112
men. OF course we shall have to take
their medicine two or three years
more and be content with our accus-
toned dish of "windpudding." A Pop
Legislature made the law and, of
course, Republican "Supe Koart"
had to stigmatize it by an adverse de-
cision, if they had to strain point.
1t makes great difference sometimes
which leg the boot is on. 1t reminds
me of my childhood days, when /
built cob-houses and some other "phel-
low" would knock 'em down. We
pay our legislature 100000 term to
enact laws and "Supe Koart" $4O,-
600 to knock 'em out when they are
made in the interests of the people.
Consistency, thou art a jewel! Query:
If an exemption of $500 was constitu-
tional (and it never was questioned)
why not $500? Simply for the reason
given above. If the properties enum-
Grated in the constitution are all that
was intended to be exempted, as de-
cided by the infallible," why the adj
ditional clause "and such other prop
erty as the Legislature may by general
laws provide shall be exempt from
taxation? According to this deci-
sion, Washington has the distinction
of being about the only State in the
Union that hasn't an exemption law.
What about the churches? They are
not specified in the constitution as
being exempt, and according to the
decision are subject to tax.
1t is apparent that the Assessor will
have his hands full if he conforms
strictly to the ruling, for everything
must be taxed that is not specifically
exempt by the constitution. There is
not an Assessor in the State who can
go into a drygoods or grocery store in
any of cities and, even approximate
the value of the goods, or into a fac
tory or machine shop and come within
so per cent of the value of the tools
and machinery. Nothing but abso-
Lutte inventories will fill the bill for all
property, except as enumerated, must
be assessed at its full value. So you
see the Assessor will have to be very
careful, even to compelling man to
pull off his top shirt lest he may have
a silk undershirt that would escape
tax. He most assuredly would have
to go through all the kitchens and
bedrooms and cellars and Outhouses
and make list of the dishes and dish
rags and mops and bedclothes and
pillowshams and milkpans and crooks
and buckets ad minimum, or he will
fail in his duties as an official officer
Verify if there is an officer in the
State who will earn his salary it is the
Assessor, and all fair-minded men will
agree with me that he is deserving o.
sympathy. ]. c. Cog.
