t.y-eight States and Territories. Of
these 4,0I2 We're natives of Louisiana;
1,O7O of Mississippi; 2s7 of Alabama;
1873 OF Georgia; 127 of Virginia. The
cash expenditure for maintenance last
year was s1l9, 500. At, besides about So.
600 for repairs. Louisiana gives 500, 900
annually; and the State of Mississippi
should consider it a duty and n privi-
lege to make an annual contribution to
this great charity, where so many Of
her citizens are received and treated
free of charge.

OF Little Value.

The capitol commission has concluded
that the old brick in the penitentiary
buildings and walls are unfit for use in
the new capitol. The board of trustees
of the State insane hospital say they
are no good for the proposed colored

control has figured it ont that they
could not be taken down and removed
with advantage to any point likely to
be selected for the new prison. The
older buildings were erected in 1859.

Variety in Sandwich Making.

1t is well for the housekeeper to
remember the different possibilities in
sandwich making. There are peanut
sandwiches that some persons fancy
and that are made by mixing finely
chopped peanuts with mayonnaise
dressing and spreading the mix
ture on buttered bread. Lettuce
sandwiches are simply refl eshing.
Celery sandwiches require finely
chopped celery seasoned with grated
cheese and mixed with whipped cream.
Then there are sardine sandwiches,
and nut sandwiches, the latter made
by using equal parts of grated Swiss
cheese and chopped English walnut
meat seasoned. To make Jelly sand
wiches use ounce or any chosen Jelly,
spread it on buttered bread and sprin
kle with chopped hickory nuts.
Crackers i'll place of bread are used
for Russian sandwiches. Spread them
with cream cheese, and cover with
chopped olives mixed with mayon-
naise dressing. Even the simplicity
of sliced fresh bread and grated horse-
radish is good.

Household Hints

Whipped cream is moro easily di-
gested than plain cream.
Bronze articles are best cleaned
with paste made of powdered chi
cory and water.
Cold tea may be saved for the vine.
gar barrel. 1t sours easily and gives
color and flavor to the vinegar.
Stale angel food may be made into
palatable pudding by steaming it
and serving with marshmallows melted
for sauce.
When cows milk is fed to babies
with enfeebled digestion, it must be
largely diluted with warm water.
Overlooking is frequently the cause
of infantile dyspepsia.
An excellent way to improve the
condition of frozen game is to lay it
in bath of sweet milk for "a hours,
changing the milk twice. Roast the
birds in the usual way.
A new sort of brush for the ve"y
highly polished table or piano is the
foxtail brush with a small silver han
die. The whole thing is ornamental
and rather useful as well.
Kerosene applied with soft cloth,
preferably one of old silk or linen,
should remove the marks of hot dishes
from the polished surface of a dining
table. If it does not, rub each spot
with spirits of camphor and after
wards with furniture polish.
An appreciated change from stewed
chicken is made by dropping oysters
into the stock left in the pot after the
chicken has been lifted to the platter,
and a moment later pouring all over
the meat. This is good way to eke
out the service of small chicken.
Strengthening the lungs, especially
the apexes, may be done by blowing
through small tube that will allow
the breath to pass out slowly. First
fill the lungs with good air, then blow
with steady force vigorously but not
violently. A few times daily will be
sufficient.
Every housekeeper knows that beds
should be thoroughly aired daily, but
the majority content themselves with a
too abbreviated period of airing. The
etfectual purifying of bed and bed
slothing cannot take place if the
proper time is not allowed for the free
circulation of pure air. At least two
or three hours should be allowed, and
everv day this airing should be done

Canned Peaches.

In order to keep preserved fruit
in good condition dark closet, well

Modern Bullets Humane.

Sir William Mccormack, the presi
dent of the Royal College of Surgeons,
makes a most interesting report in
the London Lancet as to the aston.
ishingly small injury done by Mausel
bullets as shown by his experience in
the Boer war. He tell OF seventeen
rases which by his past experience he
would have diagnosed as fatal but
which showed speedy recovery. The
Mauser bullet makes q very small
wound, and the entrance and exit
holes rapidly heal up. there being
generally no mangling of the flesh.
Lungs are generally pierced through,
and in many similar cases where it
would seem certain that some inter
nal organ must have been injured,
there is easy recovery with compare
lively little Inconvenience. Altogether
the modern weapon is pronounced
very humane.

An Enormous Vocal Repertojre.

Ny mothers love for music was so
great. says Sarah L. Meigs, that she
could sing anything that was called
for. from the old Scotch and English
ballads, throu Oh the entire range OF
italian opera, down to the modern
German Lied; or play anything, from
Clement to Chopin. All this in any
key, and with an exquisite taste and
enthusiastic enjoyment that was ir-
resistible.
On being asked once how many
pieces she thought she knew, she re-
piled; about 1000." My father said
"I'll give you S. if you will write
down the names of 800" every well;
I'll do It," A blank book was Sc
cured and the only sound heard in our
sitting room was the scratching of a
pen.
On my fathers return he asked
what progress was made. The answer
was: 81 wrote until 1 was tired. Ii
there are not enough names, don't
think I've exhausted my repertory,
for | can write at least two hours
longer"
The Juveniles crowded round to
watch the counting, and when the last
column was reached there was just
500.
''How am I to know that you really
know all these pieces?"
81 will sing them to you," was the
undaunted reply.
My father laughingly said: 'T am
quite willing to take your word for it,
my dear" and PAID over the money

delighted family. Indianapolis News.
