Women Are Natural Meddlers.

The philadelphia Record says: cal
most the first thing visitor does upon
entering the room In which the Declare
ton of Independence was signed is to add
his autograph to the vast collection of
more than twenty years. Assistant SUI
perintendent Reeves, who is the custo-
dian of the book, few days ago, in
speaking of his experience, said: You
wouldn't believe it, but We have had only
two attempts to mutilate the register or
to write anything in it except names and
addresses, and on both those occasions
the culprits were women. There's an
other strange thing about the visitors

come here the only ones we have any

sitting in them. Well, one woman only
yesterday wanted us to cut the tape for

Value of a Bows Life.

Paul Addison of Ellwood, Ind, sued
the town because his little boy of 8 fell
into Il sewer and was drowned The
jury gave Addison a verdict of $500 95,
the net cash value of the boys life from
8 to p, when he would have been his
own master, figuring it out in this way:
From to 10 years old the boy would
Ge he to oerod it wead cost wssk cents
week to keep him. From 10 to II he
would make IS cents a week, and it
would cost S1.25 to keep him. From
II to IA he could make 81 a week and
the living cost would be 50. From Is
to 10 he could make IS a week, and the
living cost would be 81. BY the jury's
calculation, the most valuable time of
the child's life would be from Is to IS.

NATURAL INK OF GEORGIA.

jug Of it Sent Lord Rosebery as a Me.
mento of Alex. III. Stephens.
One of the intimate friends of Alex
.ander H. Stephens, the vice-president of
the Confederacy, has just shipped to
England a gallon of natural ink, a prod
uct of Georgia soil, to the address of
Lord Rosebery, the distinguished politi-
clan who once held the reins of the Brit
ish government. This little incident cul-
inmates peculiar and interesting story.
Some twenty years ago, when Stephens
was in his prime, Lord Rosebcry visited
the United States. The two men met,
and In a few weeks were on an intimate
footing. Mr.. Stephens had genial
manner, splendid intellect and brilliant
conversational abilities. Lord nosebery
was much attached to him, and they
spent much time together. Toward the
end of the Englishman's stay, he accept
ed the invitation of Mr.. Stephens and
came for a few weeks to the patriarchal
homestead near this town. Crawford
vile was then in it's swaddling clothes,
and fine specimen of the quiet Ameri
can country town. Lord Rosebery was
charmed with the hospitality of the peo-
pie and the many quaint characters he
found here, and declared he had spent
one Of the pleasantest times in the his
tory of his life. Among other interesting
things which Stephens showed him was
some natural ink, which flows from a
peculiar spring at the base of Kennesaw
mountain, near Marietta, Ga, and which
he used for all purposes of record and
correspondence. The liquid was little
heavier than the manufactured article,
but left permanent stain, which made
it valuable agent where documents
were to be preserved. Lord Rosebery
finally returned home, and kept up a CON
slant correspondence with Mr.. Stephens
until the latter's death. A few days
since the heirs of the former vice-presi-
dent received a letter from the EXPIRE
'mier asking that some of the ink be
bottled and sent to him, as he wished to
exhibit it to his friends, and adopt it for
his personal use, If practicable. His re-
quest was complied with. and in few
days, the ink will arrive in England and
be shown around as a natural freak
from the United States.

How to Avoid Shrinking Underwear.

How to Avoid Shrinking Underwear.
No greater personal discomfort can be
borne than the wearing of underwear
which is hardened and drawn up in wash
ing. Yet if care be given the work the
trouble may be prevented. Impure soap,
and too hot water are responsible for
much of the ruin wrought in washing
WOODEN and silk goods. When ready to
begin, fill tub half full Of warm water,
in which dissolve a fourth of a bar Of
Ivory soap; wash the articles through it,
rinse and squeeze, but do not wiring. Hang
on the line, while still damp press with
hot iron. BY this washing the garments
will remain soft and white.

Pure Water a Poison.

By "chemical1y pure water' we usual
ly understand perfectly fresh, distilled
water. Distilled water is dangerous
protoplasmic poison. The same poison
Gus effects must occur whenever distilled
water is drunk. The sense of taste is
the first to protest against the use of
this substance. A mouthful of distilled
water, taken by inadvertence, will be
spit out regularly. The local poisonous
effect of distilled water makes itself
known by all the symptoms of catarrh
of the stomach on small scale. The
harmfulness of the process, so much re-
sorted to today. of washing out the stom-
ach with distilled water is acknowledged.

Soap Said to be Unhealthful.

One is always learning. Did you ever
suspect that nature varnishes over with
wax not distinguishable from that of the
bee? She does this to prevent chills,
too quick evaporation, and so to keep the
blood thin enough to run in and out of
capillary arteries. Alkalies and all
cleansing soaps destroy this natural
varnish. Frequent warm baths are inju-
rious. but cold saltwater baths brace
the skin. They remove no impurity, but
give functional activity The new doc
trine is that. a healthy skin cleanses
itself. The best help to it is undercloth-
ing of soft cotton, such as Asiatics wear.
This soft rairnent absorbs rapidly what
the epidermis throws off-London Truth.
