The King and the Comet.

Cassini, an italian by birth, was the
pest known Of the astronomers of the
Paris Observatory when founded by
Louis XIV, and, in consequence, pos
terity has very generally supposed he
vas the director. That he failed to
pc such was not from any want of
lstuteness. 1t is related that the
monarch once visited the observatory
20 see a newly discovered comet
through the telescope. He inquired
in what direction the comet was going
10 move. This was a question it was
impossible to answer at the moment,
because both observations and COM
putations would be necessary before
the orbit could be worked out. But
Cassini reflected that the King would
not look at the comet again, and would
very soon forget what he had told'him;
he therefore described its future path
in the heavens quite at random, and
with entire confidence the any devia-
tion of the actual motto rom his pre-
liction would never be noted by his
royal patron. Monthly.

The Cuban Newspaper.

The Cuban newspaper is q mis-.
nomer. 1t is paper, but the lack OF
news is as conspicuous as it is in most
of the country weeklies of the
estates" The makeup of the paper
is what we call in the North "black.
smith work" The style of type and
the head lines are as ancient as the
history Of Cuba, and the general ap.
pearance Of the paper is an offense to
good taste. The so-called news is as
unsatisfying as is the food known as
the Spanish bean; possessing bulk
without substance. For instance, La
Lucia will say in the notes regarding
the work of the American Commits.

be noticed that if he knows how to
read he wants the said paper as soon
IS he can get it, and, while he will
tell you he does not believe word he
reads in it, he gets very angry when
the paper reports something some
official of the United States has said

Tearooms and Architects.

The inevitsble tea table has left its
race upon the architecture of the
day. The woman who is helping to
make or mar the plans of the new
home now says carelessly: "By the
way, John, l suppose We can easily
throw in a dear little room with queer
windows and a fireplace and built

Tohn replies easily:
"Oh, yes. No trouble about that,
s there, Mr.. Planns?" "Oh, no."
says the wretched architect with o
,ickly smile, "none at all. " But he
has planned houses before, and he
,oes away in despair and kicks tho
log and snubs the typewriter, and.
perhaps, if he is of despondent tenn
permanent, he throws himself into
;he lake. He knows that even if

ion of the closets, he can never, never

RepairInr Red Blankets.

II the housekeeper has not already
repaired her blankets for the cold
weather, she should begin to do so.
Thin places in blankets should be
darned with yarn very much as stock
ings are darned. The tops of the
blankets which have been bound with
ribbon should have the ribbon ripped
off after they are washed, and it
should be replaced with buttonhole
finish in red or dark blue worsted, to
match the stripe in the blanketing.
This is neat though less snowy
finish than ribbon, and wears well. 1t
saves trouble to cut pairs of blankets
apart. They are then more easily
handled when they are in use or when
they are folded away than double
blankets are.

Carrots For CLaret.

A story showing how easily tho uso OF

with Is told by one of our exchanges.
The other day distracted mother
brought her daughter to see a physician.
Theglrl was suffering from general low
ness" The doctor prescribed for her a
glass OF claret three times day with her
meals. The mother was somewhat deaf,
but apparently heard all he said, and bore
of her daughter. In ten days time they
were back again, and the girl was rosy
checked, smiling, and the picture Of health.
The doctor congratulated himself upon the
keen insight he had displayed in his dag
nosis OF the case. 81 am glad to see that
your daughter is so much better" he said.
"Yes," exclaimed the grateful mother;
"thanks to you, doctorl She has had just

To Clean Ornaments,

When it is desired that pretty draw
ing room and personal ornaments
should be washed, a wooden bowl
should be half filed with warm water,
in which one teaspoonful of ammonia
has been stirred, and enough white
soap dissolved to make a good lather.
Each article to be washed should be
plunged quickly into the water, so
that every part may be exposed to the
same heat the same time. A fine
nailbrush and camel's hair brush are
needed, as we'll as soft flannel squares
for scrubbing. The camel's hair brush
will clean the most fragile ornamental
lion thoroughly and dainty. For
rinsing, second wooden bowl will be
required, filed with .water slightly
cooler than that in which the jewelry
Or ornaments were washed. For dry
ing the pieces nothing is better than a
soft duster.
Sawdust, or the cork used for pack.
ing, are excellent polishers for glass,
which may be left to dry, without
rubbing, in a bowl filed with either.
Brass and copper should be cleaused
with polishing paste-never with silver
powder. The old-time mixture of
rotten stone and turpontine is also
good
For silver there is nothing better
than silver powder, but finer, more
lasting brilliancy is attained if each
article of this ware is rubbed with
slices of lemon before the final wash
ing with soap and water. On the
other hand, oxidized ornaments should
never be touched with any of these
preparations. Camphor water care
fully used will keep them bright and
clean, but, ordinarily, hard rubbing
with chamois leather will answer

Renovating Velvet and Plush. ----e
A simple method of cleaning velvet,
velveteen and plush is described in
the Ladies' Home Journal by Emma
M Hooper. The rule applies to all
three kind of goods, as all have pile
which if flattened must be assisted to
rise again. With the assistance of a
stiff whisk broom, q pan Of boiling
water and an obliging friend who will
brush up the nap as you hold the
goods taut over the steam the wrong
side to the water, these materials will
look like new. This process removes
wrinkles, brightens the color, aud
makes the crushed nap stay up when
brushed against the grain, and will
answer for black or colore5 pile
fabrics. II the velvet has a grease
spot on it remove it with French
chalk before steaming. A sticky spot
may be lightly touched with clean
cold water before the steaming pro-
cess.

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Tho church

sanctions and tolerates every evil which

burden OF its responsibility. There will be
