President R. B. Wright of Georgia
Agricultural and Mechanical college,
who was recently highly commended by
President Mckinley, is one of the lead
ing negroes of America. A story is told
that when he was child in a free
school at Atlanta General Howard Wis
tied the school and asked the little
darby pupils, fWhat shall I tell the
children of the north about you ?" All
was quiet for a moment, and then the
voice of young Wright piped up, "Gen-

Best Method of Ventilating Room.
The best mode Of keeping a room con-

have the frame of the lower part of the

Hints For Housewives.

To glaze pastry, brush over with
yolk of egg just before putting in the
oven.
To destroy moss on trees, paint with
whitewash made of quicklime and wood
ashes
To make good fish sauce, take some
plain, thick, melted butter and add
teaspoonful of mushroom catchup with
the same quantity of picked walnut,
chopped finely.
Rings set with valuable stones should
always be taken off when washing the
hands, for the constant soaping discol-
ors the gems and also in many cases
loosens them from their setting.
To keep kettle clean put clean
oyster shell or large marble inside.
These attract all particles of earth and
stone with which the water is impreg
mated, and thus save the inside Of the
kettle from becoming coated with them.
A delicious orange drink is made as
follows Slice three oranges and a lemon
into a jug with two ounces of sugar
candy. Pour over this quart of boiling
water; stir at intervals till cold. This
will make an excellent drink for your
children at small cost.

a Cats Nine Lives.

A cats proverbial nine lives may ac-
count for the remarkable escape of pet
tom belonging to Admiral Simpsons
flagship New York during the Cuban
war The tom in question was as black
as the inside of smokestack and was
called "Nigger. " He was in the habit
of mapping among the 8 inch guns in
the forward turret of the ship.
On the night of June he was seen
on one of the guns just before shot
from the gun was fired at what was
supposed to be Spanish torpedo boat.
Nothing was seen Of Niger or heard
of him till one of the sailors heard him
yowling despairingly The sound came
from over the side of the ship, Rushing
to the side of the vessel, the sailors look
ed over and there discovered Niger
floating in the sea, but having his claws
firmly imbedded in the end of a rope

Wrapping Food In PAPER.

1t is a very common practice to put
away food that comes from the shop in
the brown paper in which the dealer
wraps it. While this may be convenient
it certainly is open to serious objection
on the score of health and cleanliness.
Most of the cheap papers are made from
materials hardly up to the standards Of
the housekeeper ideas of neatness, and,
although a certain degree of heat is en-
ployed in their preparation, it is by no
means sufficient to destroy all the dis
ease germs with which the raw ma
terial may be filled.
When it is taken into consideration
that waste papers of all sorts and these
used for all purposes are gathered up
and worked over into new paper to
wrap our food in, it behooves the house
wife who cares for the health of her
family to see to it that articles of food
remain in contact with such wrappings
the very shortest possible time.
1t is not unusual to see meat, butter,
cheese and other extremely susceptible
articles put away in the very cheapest
commonest brown paper.
Immediately upon the receipt of soft
groceries or fruits they should be put
into earthen dishes, and under no cir
cumstances should they be allowed to
remain in the papers in which they are
delivered. Pearson s Weekly.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Little Bathroom Conveniences- Dangers
In Wrapping Paper-Useful
For the Kitchen.

The woman whose bathroom is not
we'll fitted mp stamps herself at once as
having fallen into hopeless rut. Your
bathroom need not be luxurious, it need
not cost you much money, but fitted up
in a modern, well groomed style it
must be if you value your reputation
as housewife The porcelain tub Is
now the favorite. 1t is fresh and pretty
to lcok at and it is easily kept clean.
There is only one fault in these tubs
they are inclined to be slippery and
bit dangerous. But this difficulty is
easily overcome A strip of india rub
Der mating can be provided This is
thrown on the floor of the tub, and
standing on this it is impossible for one
to slip.
Many bathrooms now have hard wood
floors. Others are tiled and others have
a floor covering of linoleum. The floor
must always be treated, of course, like
the wall
Do not have sloppish looking, damp
ish rug in the bathroom. Have pretty
rug or carpet, and buy a couple of
those fresh looking, white bath mats and
spread them in the vicinity of the tub
They cost but rs cents, and they are GER
tainly worth having. Fresh brushes and
skin gloves are other necessary articles.
Keep your sponges sweet and clean.
To do this, have open racks suspended
above the tub which will allow the
moisture of the sponges to drip out.
The newest racks are of nickel, and are
very pretty, but the ordinary twisted
wire cage will do the work just as well.
A little luxury that costs but few
cents and requires the work of only half
an hour is wee bags filed with mix
ture of bran or oatmeal, orris root and
some good soap chopped up. The bags
are of cheesecloth. Used in the bath it
is excellent for the skin and creates a
refreshing perfume
There are any number of appliances
that the woman who has some money
to spend on her bathroom could indulge
in. There is soap dish made to hang
inside from the edge of the tub, which
is movable to suit the convenience Of
the individual bather.
There are seats formed of wood and
with braces which fit like little bridges
across the tub and which are of much
value to the invalid or infrm.
Then there is short hose attachable
to the faucet, with sprinkler for spray
ing. 1t comes at ST.

Game of Cricket,

To play this game one member of
the company is chosen by lot and be-
comes the cricket. The cricket then
writes upon piece of paper the name
of some kind of grain and folds it, so
that no one else can see it. Then the
cricket begins his search, saying some
thing like this:
"My good friends, l am very, very
hungry You ants are known as good
providers with always plenty to eat in
your houses. Will not one of you give
me some kind of provisions, now that
it is too cold for me to seek for food2"
Then, as the cricket stops before one
of the ants, he or she says:
81 can give you grain Of wheat. -
If wheat is not the name of the grain
written down, the cricket must refuse
in some such terms as:
"Wheat does not agree with my con-
stitution And then the cricket is to
address himself to all the ants in turn
and is to find some apt reply to the offer
Of all the grains until the one written
down is reached, when he says;
"Thank you. That is just what
have been longing for. Now, seeing
that it is better to be an ant than a
cricket, Ipropose to become an ant, and
you may be cricket in my place"
AS the cricket says this all the COM
pany jump up and try to escape, and
the cricket pursues until he catches one,
who becomes cricket in turn.

Now that afternoon tea is one of the
functions of social life, every woman is
trying to Guido every other woman in
the way she arranges her tea table The
china and silver are, Of course, more or
less alike, but there can be many an
individual and distinctive touch given
by the placing of the cups on the tray
and above all by the lighting Of the
table. Electricity and gas are not to be
thought of, but there is an infinite vari-
ETY. of the daintiest little lamps and
shades to choose from.
China, glass and silver lamps are all
fashionable, and the little empire shades
are singularly pretty. They are all Of
the one shade, of course, but are of diff
ferent material, the parchment hand
painted being the smartest. Some are
embroidered with opalescent spangles
on silk, and these are very snowy. Pink
Is the favorite color, for it casts the
most becoming light.
The housewives' who always use
sweet milk and baking powder in arti-
cles where such ingredients or their
equivalents are called for little guess
the superior results which may be OBJ
tainedfrom the use Of sour milk or but
termilk and soda. If sour milk is used,
1t must be freshly soured, not stale
hence the best time to use it is in the
summer time. Buttermilk is preferable
all the year round. Biscuits, griddle-
cakes, wafdes, corn breads, mullins,
gems, gingerbreads, cookies, etc, are
all Of them more tender, delicate and
probably more wholesome (since the

soda must be first pulverized by rub

sifted with it. It is even well to sift

three times to insure an even blending.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-It Is learned
here authoritstively today that high

MORPHINE DID 1T.
Well Known Young Man OF Juarez
Took His Own Life.

Samuel Rios y Wales, q young clerk
in the Office of Chief Engineer Pani. in,
charge of the river improvements at
Juarez, died yesterday from the effects
of morphine poisoning.
The opiate was administered by him
self with suicidal intent.
Thursday night young Wales was,
seen to swallow several morphine pei
let's, which he had purchased in this
city the day before, and at midnight
his heavy breathing disturbed his
room mate, who Investigated and found
the young man. as he supposed, to be
dying.
A box beside the bed, which had
con tanned sbout hundred morphine
pellets, was found to be entirely empty
and 1t is supposed that the dying man
had swallowed all of them.
A physician was called and did what
he could for the relief of the young
man. His efforts were unavailing,
however, as the victim of morphine
had been too long without medical at
tention, and he died shortly after noon
yesterday.
Young Wales had large number of
friends in Juarez and came of q highly
respected family at Durango. 1t is said
he grew respondent over q love affair
and also complained that his income
was too small to supply the demands of
the life he wanted to lead. On account
of these troubles he decided to try his
fortunes on the shores of the great
