An Inge9ai0us SiqnaE.

Few pedestrians who have passed
along Walnut street between 7th and
Sth have ever noticed the little black
shinglc extending from the third-story
window Of No. It's, and still fewer
know that it has any significance. DIR.
Henry W. Lehman, the w%ell-known
analytical chemist, occupies the third
story front Office Of the building, and
the single is a primitive means OF
announcing to his regular callers that
he is in or out. The end of the board
nearest to the window is hinged, and
to the other is attached q cord which
passes over a pulley and bangles from
the wall inside of tho room. When
the doctor is in he hangs his hat on
q hook on the end OF the string, and
the weight pulls the single up into a
vertical position. When he puts his
hat on before going out the sustaining
weight is released and the sign board
drops to horizontal. 1t can readily
be seen from the street, and DIR. Left
mann says that antomaticannunciators
are crude when compared with his
scheme. -PhiladsIphia Record.

A Child,s dee.

Flossie was Y years old when her
mamma took her to live n the country.
All her life she had lived In the heart of
a large manufacturing town. and knew
nothing Of the beauties Of the country.
Oh, how delighted she was with the
beauties Of the fields, the buttercups
and daisies! But most OF all she loved
TO hear the lark singing iTs soIig OF Joy
far away up in the blue sky. But she
lev thought it was @ bird that sent
the sweet, clear music through the air.
One day she was sitting IN the garden.
The lark was not visible, but his song
was heard, ever bright and melodious.
as it mingled with the soft, signing suu-
mer wind; and the Child listened eager
lT.
What are you looking Mt, tlossie"'
ssaid her mamma.
Nothing, mamma" answered Flos-
sic.
Are you listening to the lark? He is
too far up for you to see him"
'The lark, mamma? IS that the
lark"
Yes, of course II is. What did you
think 1t was. daYIing:'

slightly disappointed lock, 1T was tho

HINTS.

It is said that lamp wicks dipped in
vinegar and dried without squeezing
will never smoke.
Busting cloths should DO cleaned OF
changed every few days, OF they viii
leave more dirt than they take off.
When stol o china used about the
stove in cooA,n ing gets brown from long
use, scour il with ashes or .-ickdust
and sgsgEe,
Don't let children get'to bed with
cold feet. 1--WE is aai,s S.iifc sourc OF

troubles.
A teaspoonful Of tnrpentine in a
boiler of clothes will whiten them
without harm. Handle carefully, as
turpentine is lnfammable.
IL you have no dark place to keep
your canned fruit in, wrap in brown
paper and write the name on the out
side, SO you can find it easily.
When the tops of glass fruit jars re-
fuse to bulge, dip q thick cloth in
boiling water and wrap about the
cap. In five minutes they will come of
easily.
Coal oil is a splendid thing to use
on hard leather shoes, to set away wet
to dry. Wash the shoe free of dust
and mud with soap and water, then rub
the coal oil in and set away over
night.
Oilcloths will last considerably
longer on the floors if one or two lay.
ers of carpet OF thick wadding are put
under them. Unless the floor is
phcnomenally smooth the edges of
the boards curl almost imperceptibly
and wear through the oilcloth.
Oil and grease spots on wall paper
may DO removed by making a paste of
pipe clay or fuller's earth, which
spread on the spot and leave over
night. On knocking it off the next
morning the spot, if not old, will
scarcely be discernible. If it is old,
apply again.
A wise woman who believes it is a
sin to go on doing things in the old
clumsy way, after a new idea has been
proven good, cleans her window glass
and mirrors by salinating tissue paper
with coal oil and rubbing them
briskly, polishing off with a soft, clean
cloth. She says that flies do not
trouble her much in summer, either,
when she cleans her windows and
paint with coal oil.

Cooks Breakfast on His Pillow.

The smallest residence in San Fran.
CISCO, is, Of course, located in China
town. 1t is not, however, at the end
OF a dark alley in a damp cellar. In
many OF these are some very diminu-
tive roosting places, but they arc cle-
CANT homes and flats compared to
Wong Seeks private residence on the
corner Of Waverly place and Clay
street, says the San Francisco Call.
Wong's home is about as big as his
skin-a trife larger, of course, to al.
low for his wooden shoes that go to
bed with him, but the difference is not
material. Wong's homo is a box
nailed to o brick wall over the fruit
stand where Wong makes a living that
would not keep a white baby fat.
Directly oppositc-that is to say on
the southeast corner OF Waverly
place and Clay street-thcre is another
cHiiialiian VINO mas O residence I'M
lar to that of Wong. Bnt his is larger
than Wong's-whether owing to
larger wooden shoes or to Just what,
Is not known. But it measures fully
q foot more in length and is an inch
or 50 more in thickness.
The dimensions of Wong's residence
he lives in it all b. himself-aro five
feet in length, two feet in width, with a
ceiling height Of three feet clear Of
the gas fixtures. For q pillow Wong
has a 90-cent oil stove, and in the
morning he cooks his breakfast on his
pillow. He uses a rope ladder to get
into his home, and when he has tucked
himself in for the night, he pulls up
his ladder and is safe.
Wong is saving money and will
some day take the steamer for China
and cart off 200 or 800 American gold
dollars to the slums of Hoogkong,
where he will live like a prince.

The Stranger Could Preach.

Late one Saturday night there ar
rived Mt a town in the mountainous
regions of Pennsylvania a total strang.
err, atalI, gaunt, lightcomplexioned man,
with rather low, retreating forehead
and high check bones. He spent the
night at the public house, and the
next morning made his way TO the
Methodist church and accosted the
pastor, telling him that he was a
brother in the ministry. He seemed
SO awkward and plain in appearance
that the pastor was half inclined to
omit the courtesy due a brother pas

mon. IT lie inquired OF the stranger
as to his name, he failed to catch it,
and had no definite idea to whom he

strained manner. The stranger read

Badly F1usteref.


A well-known and much beloved cler-
gyman has half a dozen good stories
which are particularly appropriate for
childish hearers, and whenever he is
asked to address q Sunday school Or a
public institution for the benefit Of
children, as he pretty often Is, some
Il Of these stories Is certain to be
called into requisltion, and Is invari-
ably received with enthusiasm.
There IS only one difficulty about
the matter" the clergyman says, land
that comes from my not always being
able to remember. when called upon to
speak to en- audience of children,
which story l told them the last time;
but a year ago, when l was sent for to
address a certain mission school. l

ward the church that afternoon, l said
to myself, 4 will tell those boys my
nutmeg story. I'm sure they've never
heard it, and It's just the right thing at

I don't believe there is a boy in this
room who has forgotten that capital
nutmeg story which Doctor told us
the last time he stood on this platform,
and I am sure he has an equally inter-
esting one for us to-day
Then he sat down." concluded the
clergyman, land I was obliged to gath
er up my scattered wits and make an
other selection from my half-dozen
stand-bys as rapidly as possible; and
to this day I think that superintendent
believes that his Introduction was so
complimentary as to embarrass me for
fully a minute, as it was certainly that

Paper Matches. Now.

The time-honored scheme of rolling
up a piece of paper and using it for a
lighter has been utilized by an inventor
in the manufacture of matches. The in,
vention promises to revolutiok,1e Eu'
ropean match manufacturing, ans1 it il
perfectly timely, because the WOO" ff8l
this purpose is constantly growing
scarcer and more costly, says the Ma
tional Druggist of England.
The new matches are considerably
cheaper than wooden matches and
weigh much less-a fact which counts
fofenuch in the expectation. The
sticks of these matches consist OF pa
per rolled together on the bias. The
paper is rather strong and porous, and
when immersed in q solution of wax,
stearin and similar substances will
easily stick together and burn with a
bright, smokeless and odorless flame.
Strips one inch in width are first
drawn through the combustible mass

machinery into long, thin tubes, pieces
