NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Dr. Frederick
a. Cook, who was a member of Pearys
Greenland expedition of 1891, sailed
rom here on the steamer Coleridge for
MCntevideo. where he will join the Ger
ZACH antarctic expedition. He hopes to
ceach the south pole.
The Coleridge only goes to Rio janet
70, from which place DR.. Cook will re-
ship
The Gerlach expedition, under COM
mand of Lieutenant Adrian de Gerach,
left Antwerp on July 25 on the Bel
giac. whaling ship especially strength
ened and fitted up for the perilous I'M
dertaking. The Belgiac is provisioned
for two years. Every man of the %
aboard her is experienced and ready
to face any new dangers for the sake
of their enthusiastic commander.
AS far as known DIR. Cook will be the
only American in the party, and his du-
ties will be purely scientific. Andrees
theories will be followed to some ex-
tent, as balloon, which is now on the
Belgiac, will be utilized, if possible, for
taking observations and making aerial
progress where ice prevents naviga-
ton. The most prominent of past expe-
ditions to the south pole was that of
Sir James Ross in 1889. who reached the
seventy-third degree of latitude.

ROUND ABOUT HOME.

One heaping quart of sifted flour
weighs one pound.
If a clean cloth wrung out OF water 10
which half teaspoonful of ammonia
has been added is used to wipe Off a
carpet recently swept it will remove
the dusty look and brighten the colors.
The starch should be washed out OF
all colored or thin dresses belonging to
the children before they are put away
They will last twice as long ifput away
rough-dried, as they will if put away
ready for next summers use.
Before busting a room enough time
should be allowed to elapse for the dust
to settle and then it should be taken up
with a soft cloth, not merely displaced
with a feather buster. The latter may
be used to dislodge particles beyond the
reach of the hand, but his not practic-
able for any other purpose.
No art can cook stale fish to perfec-
ton. The appearance is always fabby
and dull. The fresher the fish thewhite1
it will fry, and the whittier it will be-
come with boiling. The fat in which
fish is fried should be of sufficient heat
to brown a piece of bread when dipped
in it. and the fish being put in the par
should be perfectly dry.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Medicine stains on silver may DO
removed by rubbing the article with
rag dipped in sulphuric acid. Finally
wash in warm soapsuds.
A simple but useful home remedy
for burns and scalds can be made by
mixing as much prepared chalk with
pure lard as will make thick ONT
ment. Apply direct to the wound and
cover with lint and bandage.
Black cloth skirts or jackets that are
becoming rusty or stained should be
Bponged over with the following mix
ture: Two pounds of logwood one
pound of bruised gall, half a pound Of
green vitriol and five quarts of water.
Boil these together for two hours,
strain and use when cold.
Dissolve half an ounce of camphor In
one pound of lard; take off the scum;
then stir in as much black lead as will
give the mixture dark hue; rub iron
and steel stoves and CRATES over with
this preparation; let it remain on for
a day, and finally dry off with cloth.
The metal will then keep clean and
bright for long time.
A process for toughening glasses that
can be very simply followed at home is
to immerse the glasses in large vessel
full of water; place this upon the fire.;
let the water reach boiling point and,
having taken off the pan, let the glass
remain in until the water has grown
cold once more. This is very effect
i've method of annealing glass.
When making up simple prescrip-
lions at home without the proper
medicinal measures it may be useful to
remember that tumbler usually holds
about ten ounces, a teacup six ounces
wineglass two ounces, tablespoon
four drachms, dessert spoon two
drachms, a teaspoon one drachm
Medium-sized utensils would average
these measurements.

cracked wheat for Chicks.

Some cracked wheat should be given
10 chicks even before they are week
old. 1t is the best exercise their di-
gestive organs can have. Whole wheat
will be eaten when the chicks are ten
days to two weeks old. and should al
ways form a part of their ration. 1t it
especially valuable to make them feath-
er quickly, the grain containing just
the kind of material necessary for
feather production. Where wheat is
largely grown the fowls find enough
scattered grains about barns or stacks,
so that young chicks hatched in mid
summer will become full feathered be-
lore winter and will make early spring

BROCKTON, Mass, Sept EFT has
been learned that Martin Wood, a
Bridgewater farmer, 20 years of age,
was swindled out of $4,000 Monday. A
would be land purchaser called at his
home and asked to be shown over a
piece of property near by. They met
tramp on the road, who claimed to have
recently fallen into large inheritance,
and eventually a game of three card
monte was proposed. The farmer won
$4,000. being staked by the man with
him, who had first won" like amount
from the wanderer. The farmer was in
duced to put up $1,000 as guarantee
of good faith. He drew it from the Ma
tional bank at Middleboro. 1t was put
into a tin box with the other money and
given to him. He drove home. The
land prospector, who was to join him
after doing a little business in Middle
boro, never came back. Mr.. Wood found
that the box contained three stones and
a warning to keep the matter quiet. No
trace of the swindlers has as yet been
secured

A FATAL FIRE.
A New York Framer Perishes Miserably
In Blaze at "a Stable.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Adam Schue-
bert, a Trainer, persisted in fire which
destroyed the Morton boarding stables
at 61S and go Washington street, this
city. Three other men who were work.
ing with Schubert at the time of the
outbreak of the flames managed to es-
cape to the street. Fifty horses, which
were in the stalls on the lower floor,
were rescued with difficulty.
How the fire gained such Roadway In
the big building with so many people
about is a mystery which the fire mar
shall will endeavor to solve. When the
alarm was raised. the entire upper part
of the premises was ablaze. The dam
age to the stables is about $4,000, which
does not include 30 wagons, which were
also burned.
After the fire was eXtinguished
Schuebert's charred remains were dis
covered in the ruins.
Three weeks ago a mysterious fire
caused a loss of $4,000, and Schubert
and his associates were putting in new
roof beams in place of those destroyed
by the first fire.

And all life's bells are ringing!
And bright the night. and dear the day.

While life shall sing, and death shall say

Just drew out his jackknife so stout.

In thA bottom he made,
So that all of the water ran out.

Where are all the little men,
Where each little lady?

Some in woodlands shady.
Some afloat in painted boat
Glide along with easy motion,
Some are building sandy towers
By the big, blue ocean,
Far away shouts at play

Happy little voices humming.
