Sacred Heart Parochial school, West end,
took place on last Monday evening, i'll
the school building adjoining the church.
Tie programme was Il very interesting
one and those taking part IN it acquitted
themselves very creditablv. Mayor
Starkweather was present and in re-
Spouse to the invitation of Rev. Father
Fardv expressed his pleasure at being
present, and dwelt upon the necessity
of instilling moral principles into the
minds of the young.
The committee appointed to report
upon the condition of the East end fire
hall visited and inspected that building
on Tuesday last. and, we understand,
decided 10 recommend the building of
a new fire hall at an expense of five
thousand dollars. 1t may he doubted
whether the city would be justified, in
its present financial condition, IN acting
upon the Committee's recommendation
out something must be done TO separate
men from horses and make life toler-
able for the former, Tins being the
case it would doubtless be the part OF
wisdom 20 erect a new building.

She's a Good Lawyer.

Miss Cora Il. Hirtzel, the Assistant
Corporation Counsel of the city Of Chi
cago, was not appointed because she is
a woman, but because of her ability, as
a lawyer in preparing cases for court
and in making briefs and arguments.
Miss Hirtzel is native of Illinois,
having been born at Ottawa; but she
afterward removed to Wisconsin, and
read law at Oakland in the offices of
Jackson Il Thompson and ex-Judge
Gary. Having come to Chicago ten
years ago she went into the office of the
Hon. w. c. Goudy, says the Illus;rat-
ed American, and took a regular course
at the Chicago Law School and grad
uated therefrom in 1880. Five years
ago she began making a speciality of
brieiing, and though some probate and
other practice casually came to her she
preferred to study and work out legal
propositions rather than actual plead
ing in court.
Ii is the first time a woman has ever
been appointed To the position of as
sistant corporation counsel in the great
city of Chicago; but judging from the
reputation of the law firms for which
she has prepared briefs in many inn
portant cases and the strong editorial
concentrations of the Chicago Legal
News, it is evident that Miss Hirtzel is
eminently qualified for the honorable
position she has been called To fill.

Fruit and Digestion.

Why do we at the end of a heavy
dinner eat cooked fruits? Simply be-
cause the acids and peptones in the
fruit assist in digestiug the fats sO
abundant in this kind of food. When
we want their digestive action even
more developed, we take them after
dinner in their natural uncooked state
a dessert. In the past ages instinct
has taught men to do this, while to-
day science tells them why they did it,
and this same science tells Us that fruit
should be eaten as an aid to digestion
of other foods more than it is now q.
Cultivated fruits, such rs apples, pears,
cherries, Strawberries, grapes, etc, con-
tain on analysis very similar proper
tions of the same ingredients. Diges-
ton depends upon the action of pepsin
in the stomach on the food, which is
greatly aided by the acids of the stom-
ach. Fats are digested by these acids
and the bile from the liver. Now, the
acids and peptones iE fruit peculiarly
assist the acids of the stomach. Only
lately it is said that even royalty has
been taking lemon juice in tea instead
of sugar, and lemon juice has been
prescribed largely by physicians to
help weak digestion simply because
these acids exist very abundantly in
the lemon.-New Yord Ledger.

Relics of Napoleon.

Some curious things are to be seen
in the military and Napoleonie mu-
scum opened few weeks ago in Paris
at the Hotel des Invalides by the War
Minister. The collection was organiz-
zed by General Vanson, and is called
lie Musee de rArmee. Napoleon relics
seem to preponderate, and have been
gathered from various sources. The
museum is in the Louis XIV room,
and among the first objects that strike
the attention is one of the little
hats worn by the first Napoleon.
Then there is fac simile of
the humble lodging of Bonaparte at
Auxonne, when he was u lieutenant,
and near it the receptacle in gilded
bronze wherein rested the body of
the Emperor on board the Belle
Poule while being brought back from
st. Helena by the Prince de Joinville.
Also visible are a fragment of the
tomb at st. Helena, lump of the rock
and branch of IA tree from around the
grave, drawings of the spot in the At
lantic islands where the Emperor's 5
body was temporarily buried, crown
offered by the city Of Cherbourg for the
coffin, the bit ehamped by Napoleon's
charger at Waterloo, and finally, OBJ
jects owned by the young Duke OF
Rsichstadt. called Napoleon III and
King of Rome.

Make a Pansy-Bed.

There is much pleasure in store for
those that have never owned and stud
led a pansy-bed, and even more for thOs c
that know just how much joy Is in such
possession.

they are five or six inches apart. Pro
tect with mats on outside and paper on
inside during cold weather, or, instead
of paper, give a light covering of leaves,
which should not be packed closely.

days
Very early in spring the protection
may be removed, and if carefully water
cd and sheltered from the noOntide sun,

The Wonders Of a Watch.

\ Boston jewe!eF, who has talent
for advertising, as we'll as genius for
mechanics, has been reminding his
patrons, lately, that watch i the
smallest, most delicate machine that
was ever constructed of the same num-
Der of parts. About one hundred and
seventy-live different pieces of the ma
terial enter into its construction, and
upwards Of twenty-four hundred sep
arate operations are comprised in its
manufacture.
Some of the facts connected with its
performance are simply incredible,
when considered in total y black
smith strikes several thousand blows
on his anvil in n day, and right glad
when Sunday comes around; bu; the
roller jewel of a watch makes every
day, and day after day, 4S2, 600 impacts
against the fork, or ID, $4,000 blows
in a year without a stop or rest, or s.
l5S, 500, 900 in the short space of twenty
years.
These figures are beyond the grasp of
our feeble intellects; bit the marvel
does not stop here. II has been esti-
mated that the power that moves
the watch is equivalent to only four
times the force used in fiea's jump;
consequently il might be called a
four-flea power. One horsepower
would suffice to run 2TO,OOO,0OO
watches.
Now the balance-wheel of a watch is
moved by this four fiea-pswer one and
forty-three one hundredths inches with
with each vibration-three thousand,
five hundred and tifty-eight and three
quarters miles continuously, in one
year.
lfyOu would preserve the time-keep-
ing qualities Of your watch, you should
take il to competent matchmaker
once every eighteen months--Youth's
Companion.

Useful Hints.

/ From the Philadelphia Record
n bag for the pantry or for any con-
venient place where the soiled table
linen can be placed may be denim,
chintz, or any serviceabie, washable
material. IL is made Of two straight
pieces OF the material, cut i'm the shape
of large bag sewed together at the
sides. The opening runs about half
way down the middle OF one piece,
the top has two rows of stitches, leav-
ing little ruiiied head. In the space
between the stitching there is run a
curtain stick which has ring screwed
in each end. From these rings the bag
is secured to the door or wherever il Is
to be hung.
Chamois skin makes a soft, durable
duster. 1t can BE- kept clean by wash
ing. II must be dried in the shade and
rubbed soft. IL will hold little damp
ness, if desired, which is satisfactory
quality in duster. limitation chamOis
may also be used.
Bare floors need 10 be wiped daily,
and should be well swept with hair
brush before wiping. Mating should
he cleaned two or three times a week,
swept, and then wiped. Sweep with a
brush and then go over with cloth OF
hood on a broom. Tine windows should
b. closed to allow the dust to settle,
contrary 10 precedent.
To remove the smell of new paint lay
bunch of hay in the room and sprink-
le it with little chloride Oflime; close
tine room for several hours, and when
it Is again opened the smell of paint
will all be gone.
Hair cloth that is used for furniture
covering makes an admirable cleaner
and whip for upholstered furniture.
Take halfa yard and fringe it oat,
leaving about an eighth OF "A yard;
roll this upon long stick and frsten il
securely. Small pieces Of hair cloth
make the best of bonnet brushes.
strips Of the cloth, five or six inches
deep, should have each edge raveled
out, leaving one side deeper than the
other, aud reserving one and one-half
inches of the cloth for the holder.
Roll the strips into a tight, close roll,
keeping the fringed edges even. S.w
the uaraveled part very securely, and
cover with piece Of two-iuch wide
bsighi-colored ribbon.
IL the range is kept in good condition
il must be often blackened. This is
necessary, not only for the preservation
of the material, but also as the requisite
of brisk fire from moderate amount
of fuel. Yet backing implies dark
marks upon dishes set on the warming
sh III AMI these dark rings are transfer
red in time 20 the dining room, to ap-
pear where the dish has been placed
upon the tablecloth. \ tin plate set
upon the shelf up)l which the dish
may rest Is the only sure way to pre-
vent the transmission of the ring of
black. The wiping or plates or plat
ters at the last moment Is not always,
even in the most orderly kitchens,
thorough.

A Story Of Clay.

There never was a more disappoint
cd candidate for the Presidency than
Mr. Clay was in lS44," says one who
knew him, "for he fully expected to
tenant The White House from 1915 to
IS49. lie was then on his third run
for the Presidency, and had long been
the idol Of his party. Ia his first run
against Jackson and John Quincy
Adams, in 1924, he received less thsn
5000 votes; in his second, against
Jackson, in 1872, over half a million.
and in his third run he received in
total popular vote of 2,GOO,OOO votes,
within 1000 Of a majority over Mr..
Polk. Thus he had much ground for
hope, and his friends, both here and
throughout the country, were certain
Of his election. In fact, that being the
day for news by slow mail, it was a
week before his defeat was aeknOwl-
edged, and several times was a victory
% celebrated by the burning Of bon
fires. I was then employed as a messen-
ger boy in the the old InteIligeneer Of
fee, and by that means came TO know
Mr.. Clay, frequently being sent by Mr..
Gales and Mr. SeatoD with messages
10 him. Sometimes I found him at
the Capitol, but generally at his rooms
in the building at the northwest corner
Of Eighth street and Market space, the
site now occupied by Mr.. William II.

with me, and seemed pleased with the
manner IN which performed my du-
ties.
''One day he said: My lad, when /
become President I will do something
for you. ! want you 10 come 10 see NE
at the White House
Why, Mr.. Clay ! responded,
how will get to see you when your
doors are guarded?'
- sure enough remarked Mr.
Clay, picking up card, on which he
wrote, Admit Mr.. --. H. Clay
Handing it to me he said: Take care
of it, and it will pass you. BE sure to
come

use it, but like thousands Of Others,

card for over half a century, and have

Good Grammar, Good Sense.

The order that the managers of the
Lynn & Boston Railway company have
given to their drivers and conductors
on the subject of addressing female
passengers is both sensible and gram
matical. The habit of addressing a
woman as "lady" is absurd. Ifa con-
ductor were to address male paSsen-
ger he would not say: Here, gentle
man, is the place where you want to
get out OUT but, if he wished to be
polite, would use the word "sir" in
stead of the word gentlemen" 1t is
obvious that, in order to be grammati-
cal, the word ''madame," rather than
the word "lady," should be employed
il the observation is addressed To q
female passenger.-Boston Herald.

Evened It Up.

Booker I. Washington of TIskegee,
speaking of the moral and religious
life of his own race, said that it was
probably all that could be expected
after their 80 years in slavery. He
told an aneedOte Of an old slave who
reasoned that, rs his body belonged To
his master, if he ate the masters chick
theft had been committed. His master
demonstrated with him for eating
chicken shortly after, and the slave re-
piled, "Well, massa, you'se got less
chicken, but you's got more niggah. "
