The House
Of ISStcnS
BY THEODORE ROBERTS

There are love stories that are simply
sweetly told tales. There are others in
which the love tale, sweet in itself, is
made part of an exciting plot.
The House of listens" is one of the
latter. 1t is a story of the olden time
when there were knights and ladies and
when fighting was natural. 1t is ad,
mirably told and Fascinating from begin
ming to end.
One thing that induced us tn purchase
the serial rights of this story is the fact
that, although intensely interesting, it is
of different order from the serials that
we have heretore presented to our readers.
It begins in TODAY'S Issue.

LAMPS.

In buying lamps or oil, says writer
in the Washington Star, remember that
the best is always the cheapest in the
end. A well-filled, carefully-trimmed
and clean, odorless lamp adds much to
the attractiveness of q table. Clean
| burners and wicks are essential to
clear light. The metal holders should
be boiled in salt and soda and water
every few weeks, for heated metal
gives out a foul odor. The wicks be-
come clogged by the parafine in the
oil, and if long in use, should be oc-
casionally washed, boiled and dried.
If soaked in vinegar they are said to
give clearer light. If too tight, pull
out two or three threads lengthwise.
When first lighted do not turn very
high, as the flame is apt to increase.
Never turn low and leave lighted.
Never light half filled lamp that has
been standing any length of time.
Lamps should be cared for in the
morning as regular part of the rou-
tine work. Fill, within a half-inch of
the top, trim evenly just the charred
part of the wick-using scissors kept
especially for that purpose, or rubbing
off with bit of paper. The chimneys
do not always need washing. BY
breathing lightly down the chimney
and rubbing with a tissue paper, a
handful of waste or a clean, soft cot
ton cloth, they can be kept bright and
clear. Never wash in warm, soapy
water, as chimneys thus treated crack
easily and take on a cloudy surface
that no rubbing can eradicate. Never
clean with patent brushes or bristles
on a metal holder, as they scratch the
glass and the chimneys break. Chin
neys were formerly tempered in the
manufacture but are now so low that
this precaution is omitted. They may
he tempered at home by putting in
cold water and bringing to a boil.
Then cool in water. Cold water and
alcohol give the chimneys the highest
polish. When the lamp is filled and
trimmed, rub and dry every inch Of
the bowl, fixture, handle and base,
that no trace of kerosene be left to
soil the hands of the lamp lighter, and
turn the wick very low, to avoid the
capillary overflow.

FREoUENT.-Mabel must have been
visiting in some large city and her sis
ter Anna was at the train to greet hel
upon her safe return. They hugged
each other with fond delight and i'm
mediately began to discuss various
topics of mutual interest.
"And, oh, Mabel" exclaimed Anna
suddenly, "why didn't you let me
know when you got that SIS mother
gave to me to send to you?"
"Why, DEAR" answered Mabel, with
surprise, "I didn't get it,"
"Didn't get it ?" cried Anna.
"No, dear"
"Well," exclaimed Anna, indignant
ly, 81 sent it by money order. And y
she continued, ~ have the receipt
right here for the money"
Aud then the dear girl fumbled in
her purse and drew forth the order
which the postal clerk had given her
for the money and which she thought
was the receipt.
The girls kissed each other once
again and decided at once to proceed to
the postoffice and demand satisfaction

To SWEEP A SICK RoOM.-The best
way to sweep" sick room is to rub
the carpet with a damp cloth. Dust
must be avoided. The feather duster,
which should find no place in the econo'
my of any part of the house, is particu'
larly Objectionable in the sick room
Wipe the furniture and woodwork daily
with damp cloth, adding teaspoonful
of ammonia to the water with which
the carpet is to be wiped. In case of any
infectious disease the carpet should be
removed; but if this is found impossi.
BILE, clean sheets should be tackled
smoothly over it, to be changed as
often as necessary, and these sheets
sprinkled each day with solution OF
carbolic water.-The Physician.

SUGAR AND PRosPERITY.-The the
ory was recently broached that the
prosperity of the country may be es'

its inhabitants consume in u year, and

testimony TO the truth of this theory.
These statistics show that each inhab.

WHAT Is A BREVET?

AS Captain Smith walked off parade
Sam Green inquiringly said:
pray tell me, Cap, and tell me true,
Why all those officers in blue,
Walk up and touch their hats to you ?"
"Why, Sam, you must be green!
The reasons plainly to be seen.
My bars, so humble in their place,
Are worth the symbol on their face,
Whilst leaves and eagles pay no debts,
Those officers, Sam, are all brevets."
"Well, that gets me, you bet!
Pray tell me, Cap, what is brevet ?"
"Well, Sam-to get it through your pate,
You listen while illustrate.
You seen yon turkey on the fence?
He's turkey, Sam, in every sense.
Yon turk ey- -buzzard on the tree,
He's brevet turkey-d'ye see?"
MORAL.
"a turkey has some value, Sam,
Buzzard isn't worth d-n"

JACK ENTERTAINs VIsIToRs:-Jack

years old, an omniverous reader, and
ALWAYS on the hunt for information.
Occasionally he breaks out with ques-
tions when visitors are around and
causes CONSERVATION in domestic ranks,
although to Jack, it seems he always
puts things with fiue impartiality
Recently a neighbor dropped in to
spend the evening. Jacks mother said
that she would "be down in minute,
and meantime Jack took it upon him
self to entertain the company.
"There is one thing that l would
like to know" said the quaint little
fellow.
"Well ?" smiled the visiting lady.
"Were you considered handsome
when you were young woman ?"
"Er-well, Jackie" hesitated the
visitor, 81 don't know that l was.
think probably no one but Mr.. Brown
considered me beautiful, and you know
he married me-"
"Well, just wanted 70 kno" were
you skinny then?'
"Not very"
81 don't think you could have beer
so very fat. Now you're old and ugly
and look like 80 cents. There's mann
maj hate to say it, because I like
her first rate but she's not pretty ane
looks about what she $50, or some
such. Then Mrs. Smith-she makes
good cream pies but she surely coult
never have been handsome. Well
this is the way it goes with all tht
women know. Iasked mamma wha
she thought about it. She said tha

of this deadly evil the stern veteran devoted
himself with something OF the directness with
which he made an end of the Commune. He
perhaps the one man who could have done
1t. He had the knowledge, the integrity, the
prestige, the courage. the confidence of the peo-
pie and of the army itsef-in brief, he had all
those elements which compose supreme author
ity. He did his work promptly. thoroughly eff
fectively And having done it, he is entitled to
retire.
He goes back to well earned rest with the
high esteem of the world, and we should be
sorry to doubt, the gratitude Of France His
successor will have only to continue in his path
and to maintain what he achieved. That should
not now be difficult task. The rest Of the Cab
met remains unmoved, devoted to it's duty and
enjoying the confidence Of the Chamber and the
nation. The work of saving the republic, for
which that Cabinet was summoned, is not yet
fully done But large part of it has been done,
and the doing of the rest of 1t has been made
intellectually easier by the gallant soldier. wise
statesman and incorruptible patriot who has
just laid down his official burden
