Peculiar Aversions.

Most people have aversions Of some
kind or other. and some have strange
ones. The sight of set of false teeth
makes John l.. Sullivan sick at the
stomach. Napoleon did not like to see
a white dog. Agassiz could not bear to
touch polished eteel. The sight of the
rising moon, when it was full, always
made Nine. De Stael i'll. Barefooted
children made Louis XIV. nervous.
Dean Swift has said that Bohngbroke
would "act like one bereft should he
cast his eye on poor, harmless toade "
Disraeli had an attack of vertigo when
he saw anyone chewing gum. Dickens
never liked stiff shirt bosom, and
Buffon would fly into rage if anyone
put an egg on the dining table at whic h
he sat.

ITO be continued

At this moment thousands of men are
standing at the crossroads of life. Death
in the guise of foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other. For the sake
of few added dollars will they continue to
over-work and neglect the conimonest pre-
cautions for the preservation of health, or
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before it is too late? A man may do
almost any amount of good hard work if he
will take care of his health and when he
feels out of sorts will take the right remedy

AS a result of the ravages OF mad
dog peculiar and terrible condition
has arisen, and Muncie, Ind, is in the
throes of a hydrophohia scare.
One day recently a strange black cur
appeared in the streets, frothing at the
mouth, and swapping at every dog it
ran across, biting no less than so. The
police attempted to kill it, but failed.
The next day it appeared again and bit
some more dogs. Strange to say, it
did not modest any people, but seemed to
have it in for it's own fellow-crea-
lures.
AT noon the police We're notified that
the dog had inaugurated a reign of ter

Fatrolman Noble Thornburg shot him.
The dog bled proluseiy, great pools
Of blood forming on the ground. Be
fore anyone had time to muster up cour-
age and go into the shed and remove the
carcass, some chickens, numbering
about 40, went in and drank of the
blood and picked at the wounds in the
carcass. The result was startling. As.
result of their nauseating diet, they
developed such a ferocity that they at
tackled all who came near them, even
bouncing upon brindle bulldogs and
Newfoundland putting them to fight.

chickens in the northern part of the
city have fallen in bad repute and they
can be had for the asking, but nobody
wants them.

Alaska Indians Go Into Business.

Rev. John Duncan, missionary to
Metlakahtla Indians in Northern
Alaska, is not having things all his
own way in the matter of trade up
north. The Alaska Miner says that
the missionary may have builded bet
ter than he knew. Several Indians,
acting in the spirit of emulation. have
started stores of their own, and in
some instances carry q stock of
$4,000 to $4,000. There are six
stores of this description on their isl.
ands.
These educated Indians have arrived
at the conclusion that there's money in
commercial life, and have decided to
compete with Mr.. Duncan and his
Portland capitalists. Mr.. Duncan has
met this competition, first by selling
-four at 81. % sack and then raising
dock rates to So per ton upon all
goods not landed for his store. The
Indians have> determined to build a
dock of their own, and have announced
that they will complete it this summer
and allow any one to land there who
wishes to.

u,cxc,a prtces Fall.

After several years of exorbitantiy
large profits the manufacturers OF
bicycles have been compelled to very
largely reduce their prices. The pup,
lie actually refused to longer pay Sloo
for a machine which can be built lor
one-quarter that amount.
A few makers saw this some tlme
ago and put on the market cheaper
machines at very greatly reduced
prices which so cut into the business
of the higher priced manufacturers
that in pure self-defense they were
compelled to bid goodbye to their old
high prices.
WHY should not the same thing oc-
cur with type-writing machines2 They
no doubt cost considerably TO pro-
duce than bicycles, and yet come Of
them are selling at the fidiculously
high. price of 800. 1t is fair to infer
that a machine which sells at $50 costs

quantities to be manufactured for them

prices would como down unreasonable
figures as have those of bicycles.

sary. Then add a CUP and half of
finely sliced rhubasb. pinch of salt

moderate owe. ~. hour. Serve warm
or cold and eat with sugar if liked
very sweet. Very nice.
Strawberry Omelet-Whip up five

slices; sprinkle over them one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one-ffth teaspoon
full of pepper and pinch of cayenne,
and lay half of them on the bottom Of
pie DISH Cover them with cupful

blespoonful of butter in small bits
over them, add the rest of the sea-
soned mutton and pour over all one
quarter of pint of good gravy, or
stock. Cover the dish and bake in q
moderate oven On hour. A toothsome
dish.
Lemonade Syrup - Lemonade is
economical if the opportunity of max
ing lemon syrup is seized when lem
ons are cheap. Crate the thin yellow
rind of twelve large lemons over six
pounds of granulated sugar. Add
two quarts of water and stir over the
fire until the sugar is dissolved. Bring
to boil, and boil until it thickens,
Swimming as fast as the scum rises.
Add the juice of the twelve lemons and
simmer fifteen minutes longer. Bot
tie and cork it tightly, and keep in a
cool place. Two tablespoonfuls OF
this syrup will make delicious glass
of lemonade. A very convenient form
in which to provide lemonade for pic

Velvet Table Decoration.

Velvets are now utilized by artistic
hands for table decorations. The beau
tiful mirror velvets are so delicately
soft, and come in such charming tints,
that they make really prettier back
ground for flowers than silk. A spring
dinner table was decorated with silver
gray velvet and daffodils. The SHIN
mering velvet was arranged in grace
full, loose folds. The flower dishes
were of glittering cut glass, and aspar-
agus was mingled with the daffodils.
Silver candlesticks and yellow shades
were used. Other good combinations
are straw colored velvet, with sprigs
Of the fragrant pink arbutus and white
china candlesticks and pink shades
and pale blue velvet with white jon

Danger in Naphtha.

The free use of naphtha,it is known,
is efficacious in preserving carpets
from moths in closed houses, but this
wholesale use of it which is necessary
is not without serious danger. The
fatal burning. last spring, of two la
dies from the igniting of the naphtha
fumes in drawing room saturated
with the liquid for protective purposes
is still sufficiently fresh tragedy to
enjoin canton. The house had been
made ready for the summer closing,
the inmates expecting to leave by an
early train, but the lighting of the gas
when evening came precipitated o
casualty that changed all summer
plans. A carpet dealer says that if
the camphor balls of commerce are
crushed fairly fine and spread under
the edges of carpets and heavy rugs
when they are overhauled in the
spring, they may be left with conf
dence.
