While candle-light continues to be
very popular upon fashionable dinner
tables, some hostesses feel more secu-
rity in the use of a candelabrum that
is fitted with tiny lamps, if this para
doxical statement can be accepted.
Some handsome ones seen were of
glass-the standard and branches
the branches fitted with little bowls
to hold the oil. A special coiorless
oil is sold for use with these lamps,
and small burners and chimneys ac-
COMPANY them. The lamps are pro-
vided with silk, gauze, or jeweled
shades, and in effect are like the can
delabra, while the danger of blazing
shade-as sometimes happens with
candles-in the middle of the dinner,
is obviated.

federation is often regarded as a
virtue. When there has been no lib
erty of opinion and action, it is a sign
of progress if tolerance is accepted as
rule of action. But, after a time.
men begin to object to the word
federation" They say: 81 will not
tolerate or be tolerated. To tolerate
another's opinions is to assume supe-
riority to them" But, on further re-
Election, thinks the Christian Regis
ter, it appears that mutual liberation
does not imply superiority on either
side, but equality and liberty.

There was a time when BICYCLES cost
$3.50 each. Then every manufacturer
whose plant was divertible to the
manufacture of bicycles made bicycles.
Now, after six or seven years Of very
active bicyle-building, any one can buy
a firstrate bicycle anywhere for $40.
What automobiles cost at present is
best known to persons afiuent enough
to purchase and play with those ma
chimes, but, reasoning by analogy,
they will soon cost very much less, for
every factory that can seems to be
making them, says Harper's Weekly.

TALES OF PLUCK
and ADVENTURE.


James Brown and Harry Lee were
the closest of friends. These young
men were painters by trade and I'M
married. James Brown, however, was
the only support of his invalid mother,
the fact being well known to Harry.
Only few evenings before the op-
portunity for showing his loyalty to
this friendship came to him, Harry
had spent several restful hours in the
home of his friend, and had marked
the devotion of mother to son and of
son to mother, and the impression
made on him of what he saw had
rested deeply on his mind, lone man
as he was in the world, and served to
intensity his affection for his friend.
They were engaged working to-
gether these days in doing come work
of decoration upon one of the high
buildings of New York City, and for
some reason Harry had occasion to
descend to the ground, and then no.
ticed for the first time how insecure
was James's position. While calling
James's attention to this, he was
Mortified to see him slip from his
footing.
As quickly as thought can work
land what, device of man can measure
that? Harry thought of the invalid
mother, and, knowing the surely fatal
consequences of this fall from the fifth
story unless the tall could be broken
before reaching the pavement, stepped
in an instant directly under the spot
where James would drop, and braced
himself to meet the terrible weight of
James's falling body, not expecting
to save his own life nor counting it
dear.
He succeeded almost miraculously
in his purpose of rescue. When these
men were brought into the Flower
Hospital in New York, it was dis
covered that Harry had not received
fatal injury, and James, for whom he
had risked his life, was suffering
chiefly from the breaking of both his
wrists and the bones of one ankle.
Harry, who was the first of the two
men to be we'll enough to report for
duty, found pleasure in caring for the
invalid mother of his friend as though
he were her son. The doctors of the
hospital, who alone were aware of the
true facts of the rescue, report an ex-
preston of gratitude upon the face of
James, on the occasion of every visit
of Harry to him in the hospital during
his long onvalescence-th look was
more than human eyes are accustomed
to see or heart reveal. New Voice.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
To Maize Them Crisp and Fresh.

Unless vegetables are taken direct
from the garden, they are always i'm
proved by freshening in clear cold
water. This is especially true with
cabbage, caulihower, lettuce, beets,
asparagus, brussels Sprouts, cucum-
bers and pie plant. If new potatoes
are soaked thus, the work of scraping
them is made much easier and the
potatoes themselves will be found
mealier. Onions should always be
soaked, and if they are to be used in a
salad, press IN cold water in order to
remove the acrid part of the vegetable.

Redeeming Himself.

Men who are ignorant of fear are
rare. The bravest are those who,
knowing the danger, do rot finch
when duty calls. The following act of
heroism in the case of railroad en-
gineer is told in the Century Maya
zine. August Sieg, the engineer in
question, employed by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, met death by fire to
save the passengers behind him.
The train, composed of ten crowded
passenger coaches, had just left Jer-
sey City and was passing through
the "Bergen Gut" when smoke sud
denly blew in through the open door
of the smoking-car, and a moment af-
terward the engineer and fireman
scrambled in over the tender.
The smoke cleared for an instant,
and showed q roaring fire in the open
furnace and flames streaming tback
from the cab. A sudden burst of
flame from the furnace had set the cab
on fire and forced the engineer and
the fireman to beat a retreat.
But in deserting the cab without
first doing somathing to check the
speed of the train, they had imperiled
the lives of all the passengers; for
the flames were spreading back so
fiercely that it was only question of
time when the whole train would be
on fire. To leap from it would mean
death or manning, for it was rushing
along at full speed.
People had crowded into the smok
er. Doubtless Sieg heard their NUT
terings. 1t required only a few min
utes for him to realize the situation.
He sprang through the smoking-ca
door, and moment later had disap-
peared amid the flames beyond.
Presently it was felt that the train s
speed was Stacking, and soon, with a
lurch and bump, it came TO q full
stop near the bridge over the Hacken-
sack.
The passengers rushed out. With
the sudden stoppage of the draft
caused by the rush of the train, the
flames from the cab rose straight into
the air. The head and shoulders of q
man were seen protruding from the
water-tank on the tender. 1t was
Sieg, his face disfgured, his hands
burned, his body blistered. He was
taken to hospital, but his burns
proved fatal.
In retreating before that first fierce
burst of fame Sieg had been guilty of
q grave error; bur who will say that
he failed to retire We it like hero?

Fragrant sachets For the wardrobes.

The latest idea to put moths to
flight and rout them entirely from
closets and wardrobes is by the use of
fragrant sachets, which will give the
clothing a faint but delicious perfume,
and as the ingredients used for this
recipe are detested by the moths just
as infinitely as they are enjoyed by
human beings, the mixture is we'll
worth preparing. Take one ounce
each of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon,
caraway seed, mace and tonquin
beans, pound to powder and mix them
with six ounces of orris root, which
must also be in powder. These in
gradients may be obtained ready
crushed at druggists. The best
bag in which they can be inclosed is
one of not overtime muslin, and the
miller's sack design, with the opening
tied around with ribbon.

Tobogganing With an Elephant.

An English sportsman, "out after
elephants" had wounded magnifi-
cent specimen. Unfortunately for him,
the wound was slight, and the animal,
greatly infuriated, turned and charged
him.
1t was terrifying sight. With its
enormous ears spread out like sails,
and emitting shrill notes of rage, the
monster came laundering over the
ground like runaway locomotive.
The hunter fred another shot, but
missed; his nerve was shaken, and
throwing down his rifle, he sought
safety in flight.
Near at hand was steep hill, and
to this he directed his steps, for being
but slightly acquainted with the climb
ing powers of the elephant, he thought

1t is not always desirable or posi-
BILE to repaper a room where the wall
paper has been soiled in few places.
To be able to clean such paper with
out injuring the gloss and general ef-
feet would be great relief to many
housewife. This can be accomplished
without much difficulty. The method
OF procedure is to take four ounces of
pumice-stone in the fine powdered
form and mix it with one quart of
flour. When the two have been mixed
with the hands add enough water to
knead the mass into thick dough.
Form the mass into several rolls about
as long as the width of each strip of
wall paper, and two inches in diam
eter. Wrap some white cotton cloth
around each roll, and stitch it in
place, and then boil about three quar-
ters of an hour. By that time the
dough-rolls are firm, and the cloth
covering car be removed. These rolls
of hardened -four and pumice- stone
are then used for rubbing over the
soiled portions of the paper. Not
only will ordinary dirt-spots be re.
moved, but grease will be absorbed
by the rolls. After the rubbing the
paper should be busted off carefully
with clean cloth, and if any dirt re.
mains the process should be repeated.
This removes dirt much better than
the bread process.--Th New Voice.
