Be Careful How You Sit.

Recently an eminent physician gave
utterance to the opinion that append
citis is more common in this country
than in others because of the Yankee
custom that men have-and men are
more frequently sufferers from the dis
ease than women-of habitually sit
ting with one leg thrown over the 9th
er. This habit, the physician was
quoted as saying, restricts the action
Of the digestive apparatus, and eSpec-
tally the lower intestine, and causes
stagnatiOn of the contents and the
stretching of the opening of the vermi-
form appendix, making it possible for
Instructions to reach the latter, and
thus giving rise to appendicitis. There
is no other disease, if we may judge
from the attention given to it by cur
rent publications. in which the general
public takes so much interest as this
one which is comparatively new to
medical practice. Probably much of
the popular interest is due to the fact
that only within few years what
may be called the literature of appen
dicitis has reached the reading commu
nifty.

but it is worth a thousand times it's

all it's inmates SO long as they shall

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Disorder in the Home.

school. All parents, whether they re-
alize the fact or not, are the most IN
f1uential teachers of their children,
says a writer in an exchange. AS a
rule, the child will be whatever the
home makes him. If the home is un-
cleanly, vulgar and disorderly, it Will
malignly influence the child through
out his life. The worlds history shows
that the best men and women have
come from the best homes. Parents
incur a woeful responsibility if they
fail to make the home all that 1t
should be.
Somebody has said that disorder
ruins more homes than drunkenness.
Certain it is that disorderly home is
about the most disagreeable place on
earth. The father fees from it to seek
comfort at the club or the saloon. The
mother escapes from it whenever pos
sible, and grows sour-tempered be-
cause she cannot escape Oftener. The
children gladly avoid it for the
school or the street, except by compul-
sion. coming home only to eat and
sleep.
In fact, the disorderly home is not
home at all, but a mere temporary
shelter and feeding place for a group
of human beings who are kept toge+h-
err by physical necessity, and who scat
ter. never to reassemble, as soon as
they can escape from the restraint that
keeps them together. The members OF
these homes leave them with little OF
regret or affectionate remembrance.
For them the word home has no tender
meaning, and Payne's sublime melody
is merely a song.
Yet this disorder, which brushes and
kills all the wonted sweetness of home,
is not like some fearful passion or
tragedy that sweeps the home to de-
struction at one fell blow. 1t is an
insidious,, paralyzing poison, that
creeps into home that began in hap
piness. It is made up of a swarm Of
little things too minute to notice
singly. but which in the aggregate
Danish peace and comfort, just as a
swarm Of singing gnats can destroy
the pleasure of a days outing in the
woods.
In the disorderly home there are no
places for things, no regularity as to
eating or sleeping or waking. Nobody
takes care of his cast-off garments, his
books, playthings, or other property.
Somebody is always hunting some
thing, and scolding somebody else for
misplacing it, determinations and
uuarrels follow. For while the moth
err picks up after everybody, scOlding
of course, but doing nothing to change
this regime. Finally she gives up in
despair and allows things to go heller
SHELTER.
If young home builders would avoid
this blight they should cultivate the
virtue of order from the outset. The
little ones should learn the lesson of
order as soon as they learn to walk.
Above all things, let the mother not
begin by picking up the toys, books,

Spring Cleaning.

AS the tlIuo Us approaching 1Ol uOuoO-
cleaning, the following article from an
exchange will be helpful:
When fithe rst warm days of spring
begin to come they bring to the house
wife the desire to- commence the
spring cleaning and one is tempted to
take down stoves, rip up carpets and
rush at things generally. The more
practical, however, realize that these
first warm days are only a taste of
what is to follow and that we will still
have cold, rainy weather which will
quickly undo any cleaning we may
have done. The first of May is ample
time to begin the real work Of the
spring cleaning as it is usually warm
enough by that time to take down
stoves, put away the winter draperies
and wash and pack away the blankets
and extra bedding which will not be
needed during the summer.
But i'm the meantime there are many
things that the housewife can be look
ing after that will greatly aid when
the heavy work does begin. For in
stance is a good time to over
haul the closets; to sort over the last
seasons clothes and see what can be
worn again and what must be rele-
gated to the ragman.
The walls of the closets should be
swept down carefully and every crack
and crevice should be filled with pow
dered borax. This will destroy any
insects that may have gained an en-
trance during the fall and lain dor
mant through the winter. The various
insects that infest even the neatest Of
homes very quickly take on great ac-
tivity in the early spring and they
must be looked after.
The edges of the carpets must be ex-
amined early and any signs of moths
should be quickly looked after. Cam
phor gum powdered and sprinkled
close to the edge of the carpet will be
found effectual for moths as will also
boraX.
The pantry shelves should be wash
ed and thoroughly dried, then sprinkle
powdered boraX over them and put on
clean papers and you will not be trou
bled with reaches, ants, etc.
The cellars, too, may be cleaned be-
fore the regular work is commenced.
Quick lime should be scattered freely
around the cellar and the doors and
windows should be left open for few
hours every pleasant day. Do not az
low any decaying vegetable to remain
an hour in the cellar. A great many
ailments of the household and often
serious sickness is directly due to foul
air arising from neglected cellars.

one room at a time and finish that
thoroughly before starting another. OF

but try and remember that house

WE'D AFTER TWENTY. YEARS.
Couple Long Separated Brought To-
gether by Assistant Chief
Lewis of Chfcago.

Lyman Lewis, assistant chief of DO
lice Of Chicago, received a letter the
other day from a newly welded pair
now in Wilkesbarre, Pa, which says:
eve wish to thank you for our happi-
ness. You have certainly proved a
veritable cupid The assistant chief
laughed softly and bit off the end of q
25-cent cigar. Between whiffs Of the
fragrant weed he told the story.
''Twenty years ago George Smale
and Margaret Tucker lived in Lowell,
Mass.,' he said. ''They loved and
were engaged to be married, but as he
was 10 and she two years younger
stern parents counseled delay till the
young persons were old enough to
know. They parted and Margaret's
couple lost track Of each other. Then
George married another and Miss Tuck
er came west. Mrs. Smale died three
years since, and George thought of his
old love. He traced her to Chicago,
but she; had left here five years before.
located her in Milwaukee and gave
her Georges address. Last week she
arrived in Wilkesbarre and became
Mrs. Smale. That's all there is to the
romance, which began nearly "a quar-
ter of a century ago. [ guess it's a
pretty good romance at that" and the
assistant chief knocked the ash off his
cigar.

FIRE ENGINE SEARCHLIGHT.
mates Of Burning Buildings
Who Are Unconscious.

Fire Chief Croker completed the
plans for the fire engine searchlight
which he expects will increase the
efficiency of the New York fire force
50 per cent. Chief Croker describes
the engine from his plans as follows:
''The new engine will be one of our
regular fire engines, but in place Of the
pumping machinery it will be
equipped with a dynamo connected to
a high speed engine. On the platform
just behind the driver have mounted
two 18-inch marine projectors. Each
protector will be fitted with special
diverging lens, with which the beam
Of light may be spread out to cover
as wide an area as desired. II the
tests are successful we will have one
searchlight engine in each division Of
the department. When the new en-
CINE is in service and persons are re-
ported to be still in the building ahre,
the searchlight will be taken by fire
men up the dark stairways and into
the rooms, where 1t will quickly re-
veal any object"

NEW PLAGUE SERUM,
remarkable Success Which Has At
tended the Use of the New Anti
Toxin In Bombay and India

An anti-toxin, or serum, first pre-
pared by Prof. Haffkine as a plague in
oculation called Hafkine's prophylac-
tic, is now being used in Bombay and
western India with remarkable results,
This prophylactic is prepared by first
taking the plague bacilli or the young
germs from a person affected with the
plague and cultivating them. These
microbes are killed by artificial means
and high degree of heat.
From these dead germs and their
poisonous excrements is produced a
fluid believed to have the required
power, when injected into the human
system, to render the blood immune
from an attack Of plague germs and to
neutralize their effect The injection
of such poison has the effect of an anti
toxin and prevents the system from
nourishing plague. A dead plague
germ being inoculated into person,
plague will not follow. A person hay
ing one attack Of the disease is rarely
liable to second. The person first in
oculated Is subject to symptoms of the
plague.
In vaccination for smallpox a living
germ is dealt with, whereas in plague
incubation dead germs only are inoc-
ulated.

discovery. He has advised the war de-

Rubber Industry Enables Liberia to
Meet Overdue Interest.
After Twenty-Five Years OF hank
ruptcy tho Little African Re-
public Takes ON New Life
and Prosperity.

After rs years OF bankruptcy Amer
cas- first colony, Liberia, is to be reha-
bilitated, the interest on her public
debt being paid. In 1871 Liberia float
ed a loan of $500, 900, chiefly in England,
but three years later the little repub-
lie failed to meet the interest, and this
condition Of affairs has prevailed ever
since, until now Liberals fiscal agents
in London have announced that the gov
eminent is once more able to meet It's
obligations. This step was rendered
feasible by new source Of revenue de-
rived from rubber, and the interest
which the bondhohers despaired Of
getting Is now being paid from the roy
alties turned into the government Of
the republic by the Liberian rubber
syndicate, an essentially English con-
Germ The press learns that the arrears
of interest are practically swept away,
as the bondholders agree to accept the
comparatively small sum of $50, 900 in
settlement Of the full amount OF the ar
rears, though this appropriation will
not be applied until the extinction Of
the debt. In the meanwhile, the cur
rent interest has been reduced from
seven to three per cent, rising one-half
per cent. every three years until It
reaches five per cent, which rate will be
maintained until the extinction of the
loan. The development of the rubber
industry in Liberia has attracted con-
siderable attention, which has not COM

In these and other respects the re-

GERMAN FACTORIES COMING.
tatos Their Placing .Braach Estab-
11shments in This Country.

German papers discuss and copiously
comment on the late news that the firm
of Bruhms Soeline, of Gera, one OF the
largest textile manufacturing concerns
In Germany, is about to establish a fac
tory and branch house in the United
States. 1t is confidently expected that
this enterprise will be as successful a.
those of the branch firms which recent
~ established branches in Passaic, N.
J. These German ventures In the
United States have been profitable. A
report Is now current that manufacture
ers of Gera have formed a syndicate
aiming at the erection of new worsted
textile factories in the United States.
News also comes from Rhenish Prus-
STA that manufacturers of silk and WOOL
en- textiles there purpose to erect
branch factories in the United States.
The straits in which this German in
dustry has been placed by the partial
shutting off of the American market,
owing to the working of the tariff, has
necessitated this new departure.
This truth is better known and more
keenly felt by German manufacturing
circles and their organs of the press
than by American people.
