The Odor of Food.

The odor Of food is always to be dreaded
in the upper rooms of Il home, where
sometimes there seems no preventing the
penetration, no matter how far removed
the kitchen, of certain highly scented
dishes In the sickroom this is peculiarly
to be feared, as is the lingering odor of
medicines and Of food carried there, which
often distresses the invalid. III such cases
it is we'll to have laid aside for the pur-
pose Il number of sheets of brown wrap
ping paper which have been soaked in salt
peter water and allowed to dry. On one OF
these pieces Il handful of dr:cH towers OF
layendar-to be bought OF any dfussist-
should he placed and then the whole laid
in a flreproof utcnsil, as a coal scuttle
should be set blazing. The refreshing
scent will completely destroy any riynl anc
will not prove remedy worse than the
disease.-Exchange

Mem DirerentIy Constituted.

ssMen are differently constituted" said
Mr.. Noggleby. ''Some men are nervous
and fretty and some men take things cool
and are never disturbed ut all, and then
there are some men who take naturally
to travel and to whom long distances do
not seom great, and some to whom u jour
ney Of any length seems great undertake
ing. Men OF this last kind who are also
nervous and fretty mako Il good deal of
their preparations and start for train or
boat we'll in advance, spending the last
day maybe in getting ready and starting,
and then there are men who realize that
the whole earth is only 25, 900 miles around
and who are not disturbed by anything
who will keep right on at their work il
store or Office up to 80 y. III. and theI

A Paddle and Il Horse.

II have owned and used many horses, -
said Il horScnian, among which were
several balky ones. once owned a team,
the best one ever had, that at times were
stubborn and ugly and would not work.
Ono morning when We wero going out in
the field with heavy load we came to a
steep pitch in the road. The nigh horse, AS
usual, lared up, and then the other. We
tried to start them by coaxing and by
using the lash but it was MOUSE. They re
fused to move. AT last became Infatuated
and would have killed the horses with q
good will, but it was of no avail. I left
the team standing there that morning,
went back to tho house and decided to
leave them there, when o thought struck
me that proved successful
II took wide board, and, making II
into the shape of a paddle, proceeded t.
the field. Once more we tried tho horses
but it was no use. They were determined
not to move. Taking the weapon which
had made I struck first one horse, ther
the other, few blows, and to my grea
surprise they started at rapid r;&3. Afte.
that ! always kept the paddle shaped
weapon in my wagon and when they re
fused duty l merely had to show it tx
them I have tried this same rule OF
many other horses, and never knew i
| to fail"
What is your theory? It certainly can
not be tho hardness Of the Blow" s

Wilhelm II as art Patron.

Wilhelm earnestly desires to mako the
fine arts flourish in Prussia and in this re-
spect, rs in all others, to set the pace for
the German empire. Ho is generous in
cxhorting cities to raise monuments and
helps all he can. Ho is interchangeable in
visits to studios and in encouragement to
sculptors, painters and other artists whom
he regards as able 1t is, however, only
under great disadvantages thnt q man on
II throne encourages the arts. His very
power stands in his way. The Importance
Of what he says is such that u criticism
exercises n crushing effect The fact that
he is of so i1npeuucus and self confident IL
not exactly domineering nature puts
him at this disadvantage. He admircs
greatly certain artists and their works
and almost violently dislikcs the works O
others. He is petty partisan, and, VIVA
is worse, he cannot hclpit, because he get
it by Inheritance from some old Slavi
| prince of an ancestor who in his own da,
probably caused tho artists of the wrou,
camp to be sacrificed to tho grim gods O

Maybe as the boy grows up and be-
comes confirmed in this way he will teach
the use of the dust cloth to others and to
his children, and they will teach it to their
children, and SO it may finally come about
in this simple manner that all men will

FOREIGN MUSICIANS.
The English Style of Proaouncing Their

The English Style of Proaouncing Their
Names Is In Greatest Vogue.
The pronunciation Of the names of for
eign musicians is subject with regard to
which the average Briton is disposed to
claim and exercise the most unrestricted
freedom The result is not usually such
as would lead to self Identification by the
unhappy owners of the names themselves.
Several organs of the musical press have
begun discussing the matter with the
view Of protecting the foreign musician
from nominal humiliation at the hands of
his admirers and of bringing something
ike harmony out Of the present state of
chaos. One writer states that at q recent
conference Of musicians he heard the nalne
Of foreign musical celebrity pronounced
in four different ways by as many speak
ers. Tschaikowsky was alluded to by one
| speaker as 'sShy-c ow-sky'' instead OF
"Chy -koff ski as the composers name
ought approximately to be pronounced.
| Although sufficiently serious, this is less
disconccrting than the American reproach
against English name photography in
| general that We write q word . Beau
champ" and pronounce it Becchan. I"
Still, d moro rational method of translat-
ing proper names from languages which,
| like Russian, have an alphabet entirely
| different from our own is much to be de-
sired. There is really no reason why we
should retain the German wv" in such
names as Tschaikowsky, Paderewski and
Turgeniev. The Russian letter is tv,''
although it has the power of #" before
hard consonants and at the end OF most
words Tho general substitution of W
would at lenst give the death blow TO such
mispronunciations as tPaderoosky." The
adoption of the suggestion that Sir George
Grove or some other authority should
complete g pronouncing vocabulary O.
foreign musicians names might prove
useful to the student, but the infrequen
concert goer would probably remain un
influenced. The too deferentinl B;,boo

ANY HORSE GAN BEAT ANOTHER
 HORSE.

HORSE
 Senator Deboe, although a Kentuck- ian, is not to the manner born, because he has an antipathy to horse races. His predecessor, Joe Blackburn, thinks that a horse race is the finest sport in the world. When Deboe came to Washing ton Blackburn thought he would make everything as pleasant as possible for his successor, and, as the races were in progress, he suggested that Deboe go with him to the Bennings course.
 q really do not care to go,' said the newly elected Senator.
 "Not go!" exclaimed MT. Blackburn, in undisguished amazement. Don't you like a horse racer"
 ''Well, the fact is." drawled Deboe, languidly, q really do not care much for that kind of sport. You see, I never saw a horse yet that could not, if he were put to it, beat another horse"
 Blackburn looked at his colleague in blank surprise. Then he made an ex- clamation that would not look we'll in print.
 "No,'' said Deboe, conclusively, 'there isn't anything in a horse race Sometimes the horses may come in even, but generally speaking, when a horse is put to it, he can beat another horse"
 The disgusted Blackburn went by himself.-Washingt Post.

INTERESTING COURT DECISION.
Defines Construction of the Law or
 Sales in Installments.

Defines Construction of the Law on
 Sales in Installments.
 A recent opinion of the supreme court has deep interest for Shelton con- cern as we'll as for all manufacturers, as it involves the construction of the statute of 1895 with reference to condi- tional sales,or sales on the installment plan. Judge Torrance writes the opin- ion and all the other judges concur. The case rose out of the insolvency of the Wilcox & Howe company, of Shell ton. The receiver of the company ask ed for the advice of the court as to the allowance of certain claims. The fol- lowing construction is placed by the court upon the statute:
 "An unrecorded contract, whereby machinery in the possession of, and used by, a manufacturing company, is to become the property of said com pany when a certain number of pay ments have been made, and containing a provision that the title shall remain in the vendor until all such payments have been made, is conditional sale within the meaning of the statute.
 A Cudttel llIOIlSdSc, luelloCIudi dS against third persons, because not re- corded, does not, by being subsequent ly recorded, become effectual as against creditors whose rights have at- tached since its execution"
 The court by its decision, in effect says that the statute in its operation is not confined to the persons who made the original contract, but that | it embraces those contracts made by 1 natural persons, who may die and bt represented by universal successors known as executors and administrat. ors; and contracts made by natural persons whose estates in their life time may pass through insolvency oi bankruptcy proceedings, to trustees ol assigns, as their limited successors ol representatives, and to contracts o1 corporations whose estates may go in. to the hands of receivers.
