Thata clean apron worn while hang

That the line, as soon as it's du ty is

That clothes carefully folded and

That dish towels and common towels

That sheets folded across, bringing

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

Fix deeply in your mind the grand
truth that life power rules the body
and that it alone can cure diseases.
Make cleanliness your motto and
watch against filth in both house and
grounds.
Life power lives on air, water, and
food only. All else is hurtful.
Few starve for food, but many for
all. Breathe deeply hundred times
daily. Wear no tight clothing. Above
all, ventilate your room.
Beware of gluttony. If the appetite
is dull, eat fruit only or cat nothing.
Use no frery condiments, but live
chiefly on natural grains, vegetables
and fruit. Never ask your stomach to
chew your food-employ your teeth.
Adorn your table not only with viands
but with flowers and smiles and kind
ly words.
Deformity is not awkwardness only
danger. A high chest will give freedom
TO breathing and digestion and help to
cure many diseases.
Spend part Of the day in muscular
work, part in study and part in good
deeds to men.-NelU York Ledger.

SHE KNEW JIM.

"Just about the time the war with
Spain broke OUT" remarked the vet
eran drummer, "I started on trip
through the mountain towns of West
Vigrinia and Kentucky. Great en-
thusiasm was manifested everywhere
in that land where there is so little of
the eventful, and what struck me pc
culiarly was the nervous anxiety of
the women. They were enthusiastic,
Of course, in way, but they wanted
other women's men folks to go to the
war, not their own. One of the
mountain girls had known since my
trip of last season, and when I got
back [ expected to find her married
to the young fellow who had been
sparkling her for long time. When
met her at, her mothers where I
took dinner, thought would jolly
her bit on her sweetheart.
By the way Susan, I said, I heard
down at Shutdown as came through
this morning that Jim had enlisted
and was going to the front with the
first company sent away.
Is that so? she replied in a pecul-
iarly Indifferent way.
Yes, and there's chance you won't
see him again as the company is order
ed to start Immediately.
Is that SO? and she never stopped
her swinging of beach tree branch
that she was using as fly brush.
Don't you want to see him before
he goes? I asked with much dramatic
effect, thinking I might move her that
way.
She laughed a low saw-mill buzz
kind of laugh.
Law, Mr.. Barton, she said, you don't
think Pm abelieving what you air
sayin' about Jim Short, do We? Well,
[ amt. Do you reckon I'd be green
enough to think that fellow that
would spark a girl for four years and
was too cowardly to even try to hug
her on summer night in the full Of
the moon had sand enough in his craw
to jine the army? No stree, Jim, amt
jined yit and he amt a-going to till

POPE LEO'iS RICHES.

Pope Leo KILLS said to have &C
cumulated more wealth during his
pontifcate than any of his predeces-
sors in the chair of ST. Peter. Plus
TX collected $40, 100000, and that
was looked upon as a large sum. But
Leo is said to have acquired twice as
much for the Vatican. The greater
part OF the money is said to be depos-
tied in the Bank of England, and the
remainder rests in various other Eu
ropean banks. 1t is said that the Holy
See is now free from debt, the few
obligations remaining at the death of
Plus TX having been settled by Leo.
The annual budget of the Vatican is
said to show yearly surplus.
How much of the money collected
by Leo XIII was given to him for his
personal benefit and how much for
the Holy See is not known. The
value of personal presents made to
him since he came to the Papal throne
is said, however, to exceed $40, 900 900,
and the objects are so numerous as to
constitute a collection worthy to be
placed in museum. Plus TX receiv-
ed possibly as many, but he is said to
have given them away as fast as he
received them, and for that reason
he never accumulated so many as are
owned by Leo XIII, who has kept all
his.
Some idea of the value of them may
be gathered from the fact that Pres
ident Kruger gave him diamond
worth $4,000,000. Such gifts, are OF
course, rare, but his collection con-
tains % tiaras of gold set with all
kinds Of precious stones, 319 crosses
of gold ornamented in the same way
and 1900 chalices in gold and silver
engraved and ornamented with prec-
ious stones Of the 81 valuable rings
that he owns, the Sultan gave one
that cost 100000. He has Is pastoral
stats Of gold set with stones and 884
ostensorii for the exposition of the
sacrament. Seven statues in gold
and silver are part Of his possessions,
in addition to more than 1000 other
objects of great actual and artistic
value. The Kruger diamond is said
to be the largest in the world.

HE HAD STEERED BEFORE.

In stories of the war one is struck
by the fact that our army and navy

common cause money and position
have no place.

the hard work." said one Of the Yam
KEGS crew. eve were out at sea, and
one Of the boys-you know him was
doing his work at the wheel. Com
mander Brownson came up and
watching him few minutes, said:
You steer very well, my man.
Billy just saluted.
Been practising since you joined the
ship, asked Brownson.
No, sir; I havn't been practising
much, said Billy.
Well, you handle this ship as if you
had steered before, said Brownson.
Yes, sir, said Billy, L have.
Where? says Brownson.
All along the Atlantic coast, says
Billy.
What did you steer? says Brown
son.
My own yacht, sir, says Billy.
How big is she? says Brownson,
after pause.
About thousand tons, sir.
I see, says Brownson.
Thank you, sir, said Billy, salu ting.
And the captain went to his state
room musing.

GUARDING AGAINST DISEA Sc.

The laws of health and disease are
better understood than ever before
and the more intelligent and civilized
| the people the greater the attention
paid to these matters. There are
diseases that occur at all seasons but
are more common after long periods
of drought ard heat. "Boards of
| health have been able to anticipate
the approach" says Breeders Gazette,
s'of such diseases as yellow fever and
Asiatic cholera and to check their ad-
vance by extra efforts in putting towns
and cities in good sanitary condition,
which should encourage US to use all
diligence at this season to meet the
approach of the swine plague that
has become epidemic SO often after
midsummer that we expect to hear of
outbreaks of hog cholera as regularly
as the season comes. 1t is common
to hear men attributing the cause of
hog cholera to the feeding of new
corn. Their reasoning is that their
hogs were all right before they began
to feed new corn. Another class of
men claim that their hogs never do SO
we'll after they begin to feed new corn.
1t is not probable that new corn fed
in moderation is the cause Of OUT
breaks of cholera, since it appears
also among herds that have been fed
on the best variety of feed the owner
L>oI 10
cause is not in the new corn so much
as the condition of the herd at the
time new corn appears. Where hogs
have been left to shift for themselves
on pasture or stubble fields during the
season when feed has been short and
lacking in quality, when water has
been poor and scarce, when the wealth
er has been hot and shade is lacking,
and flies torment, it is not strange
that many a herd is in a low condition
as to vitality and ready for the inroad
of the seasonable epidemic"
During the press of work that
comes to the farmer during the tend
ing of his crops and harvesting and
Uuf0SuIuS his gram Ou0I0 10 always
such neglect of stock that they do not
get the care they have been accustom-
ed to receive. They are often short
of water and are left so until the sup
ply actually fails or until harvest is
over and the farmer has time to look
after them. Too often the hogs, big
and little, are turned into the stubble
fields where feed is scarce. They
are too often left there until the sup
ply of food is short and the labor of
hunting for food in the broiling sun
with a poor supply Of water puts the
w hole herd out of condition.
