HIS BATH NOT A SUCCESS.
Being in = Hurry He Forgot TO
Take OF His Under
clothes.

It seems her husband had been out very
late celebrating, and as he came home IN the
rose flush of the morning he thought 1t
would be a capital idea TO take a bath be-
fore getting into bed. First of all and most
important 1t would contradict any wrong
impression as to his condition, as his wife
sometimes had wrong impressions when he
had been out late at night. Women are so
suspicious.
So he went boldly 10 the bathroom and
was soon splashing around as gayly as a
canary In fact, he created such an I'M
usual commotion that his wife woke up
and went to see what was the matter.
Suddenly he saw her gazing through the
door with look so cold and contempt
uous that 1t struck chill TO his very
heart. But he made a dive for the soap
and went on induStriously with his ablu-
tons.
What are you doing there, Peter:'' she
asked him.
He made the effort of his life to appear
debonair and perfectly sober.
Cant you see what / am doing my dears''
he answered, with another prodigious splash.
Il m taking a bath"
Don't you think it would be good idea
for you to take off your underclothes?" she
asked him, with a frozen reflection, as she
passed out of sight.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Startling Answer.

A Latin professor was explaining the der
walton OF our word "ostracise" TO his class
in local academy the other day. He told
the story of the early Roman republics and
the schemIng of the politicians of the
times. He related how, when any man in
the republic became obnoxious to his neigh
bors, they used to write his name on an
oyster shell (Latin-ostreum, SHELF, and on
the receipt of a specified number by the
consuls that man was banished, killed or
otherwise removed in some one of those
pleasant ways the old Romans had. When
he had finished his explanation he said:
Now. the boy here in the front seat,
what did We derive from the old Latin use
OF he shell, which was called ostreum?''
The answer he expected was far from
what he got, for the little student with
spectacles In the front seat arose and de-
hvered himself thus:
From the Roman habit of using shells
to get the best of people we derive the
present Coney Island she'll game which is
a a. fascinating and costly sport" brooklyn

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Little onions are now boiled and
served on toast, after the manner OF
asparagus. This affords change from
the stereotyped way of serving, and will
usually be found most acceptable
Turpentine and linseed oil in equal
parts make good mixture for furni.
ture. For sun streaks L solution, one
third sweet oil and two-thirds alcohol,
is an excellent mixture. a soft cloth
slightly dampened with kerosene will
restore the polish.
To detach book plate. cut piece of
flannel the exact size OF the label; dip
in cold water, wiring it out, and apply
it TO the label; cover it with a clean
piece of blotting paper. then pass hot
iron over it several times, and the label
may be easily removed
Linen will last much longer if soaked,
and then steamed or boiled without
rubbing. Let it boil about five minutes.
Rinse very thoroughly. Did you ever
notice iron-rust spots in your linen for
which you could not account? Those
were caused by the laundress who was
careless about rinsing and left the soap
in.
OF course every good housekeeper
sees that the stains are removed from
the linen before it goes into the wash
If it is not convenient for you to use
lemon juice and salt to take out iron
rust spots. it may be easier to buy
lemon salts to keep on hand for such an
emergency. The salts are somewhat
stronger than the lemon. Grass stains
will always yield to cream of tartar if
the spot is wet and well rubbed.
A dainty way to prepare radishes for
the table is to cut a morsel off the tip
of each, leaving at the other end the
heart leaves and bit of the stem. Cut
the skin down from the tip in five or six
places, bending each piece slightly out
ward to simulate the petals. If this is
carefully done, the radish takes on the
appearance of half-opened flower. OF
course, the radishes with the red skins
give the prettiest color effect, though
the new yellow ones are not without
beauty

How to Reach Two Famous Resorts.
An Outing Hint from .,Outing',

Fast, safe, superbly equipped and most
carefully governed, one need not wonder
at the great popularity of the New York
Central. No other line affords such facih,
ties for through travel between the East and
the West as this wonderful four-track sys-
tenn. In the possession of the Grand Central
Station, located in the heart of New York
City, and within trifing distances of all
first-class hotels, this railway offers greater
advantages than competing lines. Spring,
summer, autumn and winter, 1t has attrac-
tions irresistible. The great Northern VIII
derness, the playground of the State, now
beckons its thousands. As autumn falls,
Americas scenic masterpiece, far-famed
Niagara, will claim its annual host of pill
grims with its majestic power, the fierce
turmoil of the Whirlpool and all the pic
turesque surroundings, the awesome Cave of
the Winds and several other minor attrac
tions of the vicinity And when winter
comes, then the entire scene transformed to
what a fairyland of marvellous frost
dressings, of icy forts and snowy palaces;
of cleaning crystal prison barriers vainly
striving to bind the roaring, foaming plunge
OF water-will present a spectacle OF weird,
mysterious beauty which Is not duplicated
IN the world.-Outing.

TREASURES IN THE EAST.

Sir Jung Bahadur, the primo minister
to the king of Nepal, has hat made of
diamonds, worth over 100000, and
perched on top is a single ruby of in
calculable value.
When Queen Victoria was proclaimed
empress of India some of the native
kings at the celebrations wore costumes
that beggar description. A small item
in the attire OF one ia jah was a pair OF
gloves made of flexible golden scales
incrusted with diamonds, having in the
center of each back an emerald as big
as a hazel nut, and ending in bangles
studded with rubies, the gloves being
worth not less than $500, 600.
India is the treasure home of the
world. For ages Ceylon and Burmah
supplied the world with the rarest
gems, and the eastern potentates kept
the finest for their own use. OF all the
jewels, the most noted belong to the
guicowar of Baroda. They are valued
at SIS, 100000. His chief diamond neck
lace contains a stone called the star of
the south, Brazilian stone of 254
carats, for which 100000 was paid. the
whole necklace being valued at ST..
600 900.
