A Close Call.

On Wednesday last, bullet from
32-calibre revolver entered the
kitchen window of John Houses resi-
dence and escaped by only a couple
of feet the domestic who was there at
work. The revolver from which the
bullet came, was fired in an adjacent
building, with no expectation that it
would pass through to the outside.
The one who fred the weapon is in
no sense to blame, but will exercise
still greater care in the future.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Burnt Wood as an Ornament = Rattan
Fury1iture-A Nutritious
Food.

"The decoration of wood by the ap-
plication Of heated irons is an art of
long standing" says Florence FetheI-
ston in The Ladies Home journal, land
pany interesting examples Of old work
are occasionally to be found. For tri-
fling sum complete apparatus may be
bought, which includes platinum
point that is kept heated while the
work is in progress, not by electricity,
as many suppose, but by fumes of ben
zene, which is supplied by pressure on
a rubber bellows which is connected by
tubing to bottle half filled with ben
zene. When beginning the work, the
point should not be heated in any flame
but that of an alcohol lamp. Any other
fame would be liable to smoke and
ruin the point.
Gin burning outlines remember that
to make broad, firm line it is not nee
essary to press. The lines are to be
scorched, not incised. The point is held
and guided much in the same manner
as a drawing pencil, but some little
practice is needed to enable the worker
to pass it smoothly and readily over the
wood, the tendency of all beginners be-
ing to allow it to rest and make dots.
No discouragement, however, must be
felt at this, as with a little practice the
manipulation will become easy and the
worker be able to make dark Or light
strokes at will. Bold outlines and
strongly burned backgrounds come out
we'll on ordinary white wooden articles,
such as tables, stools, chairs, bowls,
plates, racks, etc. -

TRY THE AIR CURE

81 got little advice from a laymsn
which has proved to be better for me
than any ever got from a doctor"
remarked a man who has been an in
valid for two years. ct got it from a
rheumatic friend who does not prac-
tice what he breaches, I have been
suffering from stomach troubles, dys-
pepsia, Indigestion, or anything you
may call it. What he said to me was:
Initiate your lungs. Try the air cure
Take exercise in the fresh air and
above all things exercise your lungs.
Fill them up fifty times in succession
whenever you strike good air. If you
arc on a steamboat Or trolley car out
in the country, just blow up your lungs
as many times as you can. You can
do it without attracting attention and
not be afraid of making guy of your
self or being thought crank. Close
your mouth and take full inhalations
through your nostrils. You have been
a lazy breather. Almost everybody is.
The lungs want exercise as much as
the muscles, and they cannot get too
much of it. If you practice full breath
ing you will gain couple of inches in
chest measure in a few months. When
you are in your bedroom or alone in
the road you can raise and lower your
arms as you are breathing in and out.
Try it. It doesn't cost you a cent and
if your lungs are strong you will soon
be strong all over
eff you suffer from sleeplesness, just
take 100 tull inspirations. I'll bet you
will be asleep before you have finished
the stint. 1t warns you little in such
weather as this, but it is a fine thing
in winter. DON'T start breathing over
a gutter or a sewer hole, but find
fresh air you can and fill up on It. You
cannot get too much of it."
THAT was his advice and have been
following it up for two weeks with ex-
cellent results. 1t has made me feel
better every way. have a better ap-
petite, sleep better and am less Ian
guild, I am going to keep breathing
that way AS long as I live
People who sing that is profession
ais who know how to breath properly
not only have full chests, but, as
rule enjoy splendid health.
It's question, too, whether the
beneficial effect of cycling is not due
Iaroe1v tO the fact that eSnaoia1Iv in
hill climbing it fill ones lungs.

Feather Beds and Pillows.

Feather beds have been to a great ex-
tent displaced by mattresses of various
kinds, but they are still used more Or
less III one part Of the country and an
other, and some feather beds are still
sold in New York city and its vicinity,
chiefly to people from foreign countries
who have always been accustomed to
feather beds in their own lands and
cling to them here.
The feathers used for bedding come
from geese, ducks and chickens, the
first being the most costly. A great
many Of the duck feathers come from
China. Some Of the goose feathers come
from China and some from Europe, but
the greater part Of them are from this
country and from the west and south
west, many goose feathers coming from
Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky.
While feather beds are less used than
formerly, feather pillows continue
everywhere i'll as common use as ever.

a Nutritious Food.

Macaroni ranks high as an aliment of
nutritious power, being formed chiefly
of the gluten, the most valuable part of
the wheat from which the starch has
been removed. Weight for weight, says
an authority on the subject Of food,
macarOni may be regarded as not less
valuable for feshmaking purposes in
the animal economy than beef and
mutton. Most people can digest it more
easily and rapidly than meat. 1t offers,
therefore, an admirable substitute for
meat, particularly for lunch or midday
meals, among those whose employments
demand continuous attention during the
whole of long afternoon.
Macaroni miglA, with advantage to
the public and especially to city men,
who are closely occupied between break
fast and dinner, be prepared at the res
taurants as & staple dish i'll two or three
forms, since it sustains the power with
out taxing too much the digestion or
rendering the individual heavy, sleepy
and incompetent afterward.

PLENTY OF COMPANY.

He had left the train at a little sta
ton on a Western branch road, where
he had to wait several hours, and was
looking about in homesick fashion
when the conductor spoke to him.
"Dull place, amt it? But you won't
be without company"
'But l don't see any. Who are
they?'
"Well," said the conductor, spe ak
ing slowly, as if he were reckoning
them up by process of recollection,
"there's the telegraph operator: the
booking clerk, the cloak-room clerk,
the signal man, the storekeeper, the
accident insurance agent, the post
master, and one or two other officials.
You'll find them inside the station"
"That isn't so bad" the traveller
thought, and as the train started he
entered the door. The station was
dimly lighted, with no one in sight but
a sandy haired man at the telegraph
instrument.
"Where are the others?" asked the
traveller
"What others?" asked the telegraph
operator.
"Why, the cloak room man, the
booking clerk, the postmaster and
the rest.''
The man began to grin.
"Well, where are they?" repeated
the traveller, with some asperity.
The sandy haired man tapped him

EThem's me-" he said. "Come in
and sit with us.'' "a

PROF. TYNDALL'S GYMNASTICS.
How the Great Scientist Kept Up HIS
Reputation az an Athlete.

Some great men have weakness for whnt
one might call stage effects, and sometimes
it IL obvious that the effects have entailed
careful preparation beforehand, in order TO
bring them off, But know of very few in
stances where great men have been caught at
their preparations. However, at one OF the
meetings Of the British Association. heard q
story told in this connection about the late
Professor Tyndall. which Is well worth re-
pea ting. The scene Of tho story is laid In the
lecture room OF the Royal Society on the
morning OF the day for ons Of the professors
lectures
On the morning I'm question a certain Mr..
B, who was engaged upon some chemical
analysis, wanted to sec Professor Tyndnll
about IT., and knowing that, as he was lectur-
ing that evening, he would probably find the
professor engaged in arranging his expert
ments for the evening, he went into The
lecture room to look for him. Professor
Tyndall was not preparing experiments when
MIR. b. came in. He was engaged in vaulting
on one hand backward and forward over the
iron railing from behind which the lecturer
delivers his lecture. Mr.. b. was rather sur
prised. but supposed that Professor Tyndsll,
being very hard work cd. was glad to take n
little exercise whenever and in whatever
way he could.
Mr. b. happened to attend tine lecture that
evening. In the course OF the lecture Pro-
fessor Tyndnll was reading from notebook.
which he rested on the iron railing in front of
him. Then, apparently by accident. he let
the hook drop. Without moment hesitation
the professor placed one hand on the railing.
lightly vaulted over. picked up the book and
then lightly vaulted back ngain. The audience
greeted the performance with loud applause.
Then Mr.. b. understood that in tho morning
Professor Tyndall had been preparing to sus-
tain the popular reputation as an athlete
which he had acquired from his Alpine ex-
ploits and was not merely snatching what
exercise he could get during q rare few
minutes leisure. To-day.

Regularity Is a matter OF Importance
In every woman's life. Much pain Is,
however, endured In the belief that 1t
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation OF woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance Of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUpE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
In every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrh9a.
was nervous and had spells Of being
confused. Before using your remedies
i never had any faith IN patent medi-
cines. now wish to say that l never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. hope these few
words may help suffering womers"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills Is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia Z. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

THE ONE OBJECT.

The one object of the govern
ment and OF the fleets OF Sampson
and Schley, the supreme purpose
beside which all others can but be
of small account and may be post
poned, is the discovery and the
destruction Of the Spanish fleet
now known to be i'll West Indian
waters.
The instructions sent to Dewey
in Asiatic waters were to seek out
and destroy or capture Spain's
Asiatic fleet. That Dewey did
and he also accomplished THE re-
duction OF the Notifications of
Manila and captured the city itself.
But the one important task he had
to perform was the destruction of
the feet. That accomplished the
rest would have followed at leisure,
but Dewey found it convenient to
do a number OF tasks and make
one workmanlike job OF them.
Sampson has tried his guns on
the defenses OF San Juan and now
knows that he can bowl them over
whenever be is ready to 60 about
the job with view to completing

may wait. That Spanish fleet
must be discovered zzc destroyed or
captured after the Dewey fashion,
