Somebody's grandmother has be-
queathed to her descendants these
admirable rules of conduct:
. Always look at the person to whom
you speak. When you are addressed
look straight at the person who speaks
to you. Do not forget this.
Speak your words plainly: do not
mutter or humble. IF words are
worth saying, they are worth pro-
nouncing distinctly and clearly.
Do not say disagreeable things. If
you have nothing pleasant to say,
keep silent.
Think three times before you speak
once.
Have you something to do that you
find hard and would prefer not to do?
Do the hard thing first and get it over
with. If you have done wrong, go
and confess it. If your lesson is
tough, master it. If the garden is to
be welded, weed it first and play
afterwards. Do first the thing you
don't like to do, and then with clear
conscience, try the rest

LITTLE SONS LIFE.

Mr.. 81. H. Black, the well-known village
blacksmith at GIahamsvil1e, Sullivan Co., N.
Y, says: Our little son, five years old, has
always been subject to Group, and so bad have
the attacks been that have feared many
times that he would die. We have had the
doctor and used many medicines, but Cham
berlaln's Cough Remedy is now sole re-
lance. 1t seems to dissolve the tough mucus
and by giving frequent doses when the croupy
symptoms appear we have found that the
dreaded Group is cured before it gets settled"

German scientists have recently
been conducting experiments to as
certain how far it is safe for people to
employ sugar as an article Of diet.
The result is highly encouraging. 1t
has been determined thata liberal use
of sugar is strengthening and fatten-
ing.
The German savants proceeded in
the following manner: They request
ed man to apply his finger to device
called an ergostat, or force measurer.
He exerted himself to the utmost to
move the index of the machine A
record of his strength was made. On
different occasion he was fed on
sugar and again experimental with.
1t then appeared that he could make
a better showing with the ergostat
than before.
Another form of the trial was to let
a man tire himself out, feed him with
sugar, and see if it restored his
strength more quickly than abstinence.
1t thus appeared that his weary mus
cles recovered their power promptly
in consequence of eating sugar

bow no DO 4 VARIETY OF THINGS
IN WASHING and IRONING.

Stiff1y starched clothing requires
expert work. Half the laundresses
ruin Or wear out clothing in the wash
more than it is worn out on the person,
the table, or the bed. You hear them
rub, rub, rub as if life depended on
the amount of muscle squandered on
fab RIGS. An intelligent discrimination
should be exercised regarding when,
where and how to rub. We have left
the white clothing at least an hour in
soak. Table linen has been looked
! over and if a break has been found it
was carefully mended or darned on
the right side over bit of fine linen.
/ If left till after the wash, the rent will
have grown hide ously large. To re-
! turn to stiff clothing, such as shirts,
collars and cuffs. Whatever may be
done with other articles, these must
remain in warm water sufficiently
long to soften them. Otherwise they
will crack and perhaps break ere half
worn. If first made pliable by gentle
handling they will last twice as long.
between the hands, not on a wash
board, with the soiled and streaked
places well soaped. Table linen like
wise, first having stains taken out,
should be rubbed with caution.
Bed and body linen need more rub
bling with strict attention paid to
bands and hens. This may be done
while the table linen is boiling or
scalding. There are some laundress
es whose linen is Immediately done
by the latter method. When the
table linen is wrung from the suds, it
is to be put into a clean boiler filed
with cold wafer, where it is frequently
lifted and turned to allow the water
to penetrate all pieces. After coming
to boil, only ten minutes at most
should be allowed and five minutes
are better. A longer boiling will
turn all fabrics gray. Then the linen
Is to be lifted to tub, soused up and
down to take out the suds, while the |
body and bed linen are thrown into |
new boiler full of cold water, to go |
through the same process. Neither in |
the tub nor the boiler should the |
clothes be crowded or the water show |
much soil. In large wash it is best |
to dip out great portion of the suds |
and refill with clean water having |
the same temperature that is, just |
pleasant to the hands; too hot it sets |
the dirt. Where one is not particular,
the second boiler of clothes NAV be |
plunged into the hot water left, after /
taking out the table linen. Should |
the clothes not be boiled, which is |
often the case where there are no |
garments badly soiled, after the rub
bling they are to be soaped, thrown
into a clean tub and scalded with |
boiling water fully fifteen minutes,
then Wrung out and rinsed through |
two wa ters. In either case the two
waters are necessary, the last being
slightly blue.
On the rinsIng and bluing depends
much of the success of the laundering.
There should be no niggardliness
about the blue and no parsimony
about the water. Where there is
plenty of the latter there is no excuse
for insufficient rinsing. AS for bluing
have found nothing more satisfac-
tory than the old fashioned indigo
tied in bag which was used by our
grandmothers.- Housekeeping.

One of the most important things
IN the kitchen is the cook table. Not
the common kitchen table with drop
leaf aud two small drawers for the
cooking utensils, but regular cabi-
net table built by carpenter, after a
model, and furnished with drawers,
cupboards, and shelves, for holding
spices, sugar, molasses, vinegar, and
the various articles used constantly
in cooking, as well as dish towels,
bread cloths, and strainers,
1t saves numberless steps to have
these articles close at hand, together
with the measuring cups, mixing
spoons, egg beaten, and cook knives.
An important consideration is to have
this table just the right height for
standing, not so low that one must
stoop to 1t in mixing cake or bread.
tits also we'll to have drop leafa one
end that is low enough to sit at COM
fortably when Smelling peas, stoning
raisins, and the various parts of the
work for which it is more convenient
and less tiresome than to stand.
Cover the top of this table with
white enamelled oil cloth, from
which the dirt and spots may be easily
wiped. A few fresh shingles should
be kept on it for hot dishes, which
will take the paint from the cloth.
The tops of the five and ten pound
grape baskets, which are SO plentiful
during the fall, can be saved and used
for this purpose

There is nothing more beautiful in
this world than to observe the tender
ness of some girls toward their
aged relatives. Dear grandmother
cannot thread her needles so easily as
she used to do and is sensitive on the
subject, and does not like to be too
obviously helped.
Matte, kind-hearted girl without
much tact, will exclaim: ooh, Gran!
what perfect nonsense for you to fuss
over that needle! You know that you
cannot find the hole where the thread
should go in, your eyes are too old;
I'll thread your needless"
The intention is most excellent, but
the old lady is hurt, and stiles a sigh.
Edith, in the same circumstances,
manages in another fashion. She
simply threads dozen needles and
leaves them all ready for grandmam-
ma in her needle book, saying pleas
antly: sit saves so much time in these
busy days, to have ones needles all
ready and waiting.''

The Gold Brick swindIe.

1.-The gold brick swindle'' said a
business man quoted in the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, sis one of the
most plausible propositions ever adj
vanced and has landed some Of the
cleverest business men in the country.
A number of years ago it used to be a
common thing for banks in the west to
buy gold bricks-I mean real ones
and frequently there were the best of
reasons for keeping the transaction
quiet.
1T often happened that the owner of
some partly developed mine would
make an unexpected strike and wish
to buy the adjacent property. Natu-
rally he would want to hold back the
news of his discovery until he secured
the land and if he had any bullion to
dispose of would make the sale as
quietly as possible. The banks be-
came accustomed to deals of that kind
and were consequently pretty easy
prey for the gold brick swindler who
turned up with a precisely similar sto-
ry.
4 don't believe l exaggerate when l
say that fully one-third of all the bank
ing houses in the western mineral belt
were at some time victimized by this
game"

A Story of Whistler.

The Boston Transcript says: ga di-
verting anecdOte is told of the bOyhood
of Mr.. Whistler, the greatest modern
impreSsionist. He was apprenticed to
some engineers who were etching elab-
crate maps on copper. One day his
employer asked him if he also could
etch maps on copper. 'Oh, yes. I can
etch,' promptly answered young Whis-
tier.
''As a matter of fact he had never
used an etching needle in his life.
However, they gave him the copper,
and he set to work, making q very fine
and beautiful map. But round the
edges of the plate which when bitten
in with acid are always stopped out, he
etched some characteristic little sketch
es of the different members of the
firm, including very humorous one of
the chief himself
Shortly after he happened to go
away for a week or two for his holt
day. Meantime the plate had been
bitten in and printed with all of the
dreadful little caricatures that he had
forgotten to stop out appearing in star
Ting prominence, the sketch of the
chief being especially remarkable be-
cause of its great resemblance to that
gentleman, who was so enraged at the
indignity of the thing that Immediately
on Whistler's return he dismissed
him."

along the various roads leading to the
city, the influx of strangers will be
greater than that of any previous fair.

have been engaged in posting very at

country papers have been teeming with
notices and ''write-ups," so that the
Advertising end of the exposition has
been looked after as never before.
On the grounds everything is hub-bub
and confusion, an army of workmen
being busily engaged, some painting,
some withdrawing, some repairing the
buildings, and others building new
ones. The new slate roof has been put
on the grand stand, and the work of

Entries for the various departments
are coming in rapidly, and never have
they been so numerous five days in adj

promise many surprises, judging from
the makeup of the entry list, and some
