UTILITY OF BOXES.
In the Small House That Lacks
Closets They Are Simply
Indispensable.

Whether you live in a fiat where
every inch of space is valuable or in
spacious rooms which you wish to
furnish advantageously, the subject
of boxes is interesting. says the St.
Louis Republic.
If you lack closet room box that
will disappear under the bed or a
box couch is the best continuance in
the world for putting away dresses,
since they can be laid out full length
without crushing or creasing. More
over, they can be lined with muslin
or other washable material. which is
'cleanly and desirable in every way.
The box to go under the bed should
roll or casters and have handles with
which it can be moved easily.
Other boxes can be used for win
dow seats, ottomans and divans, for
holding hats, boots and a hundred
other things. Anyone who has the
least knack in making things can
manufacture a box that will be a
thing of use and beauty. They may
be covered with cretonne, chintz. fig
ured denim or burlap, or any material
that will harmonize in quality and
color with the other furnishings in
the room. A covering put on perfect
.ly plain is recommended as being less
likely to collect dust. but ruff1es some
times are preferred. The top of the
box should be padded with excelsior
or horsehair, Hinges, clasps and ham
dies Of brass or other metal may be
bought from an upholsterer and easily
screwed in place.

COUNTING THE EARTHQUAKES.
scientists Are Investisatins the His.
tory of Earth Movements In
Japan and Peru.


Japan and Peru are two OF the great
est earthquake regions, and for some
years past scientific men in those coun.
tries have been looking over the books
and archives to compile the history of
earthquake phenomena within their
territories.
The Japan committee, says the New
York Sun, began work in 1893 and has
not yet quite completed the large task.
An earthquake catalogue, recently pub
lished, is the first Of the reports issued.
It was complied from 427 ancient and
modern histories and other Japanese
books and manuscripts and gives the
dates, the districts and intensity of
1898 earthquakes that occurred be-
tween the years 416 and 1867. OF these
earthquakes, 220 were of destructive
character. The early annals are very
incomplete, but the data before the
committee, particularly those since the
beginning of the seventeenth century,
justify the inference that one or an
other part of Japan is visited about
every 2H years by q shock or Sc
ries of shocks of sufficient violence
to do much damage. Kioto, the
capital for 1,o7o years, has rec
ord from the years TOT to 1867 of 1908
earthquakes of which "a were destruc-
tive. Two OF these sometimes occurred
in one year and there were intervals
of so and 100 years without an earth
quake.
Destructive shocks are most numer-
Gus in Japan during the months of July
and August, while the ordinary shocks
are least frequent during those months.
Dividing the destructive earthquakes
into local and non-local, it appears that
the provinces of the concave or Japan
sea side Of the group of islands have
been disturbed almost wholly by local
shocks, while those on the convex or
Pacific side have often been disturbed
by great non-local shocks, originating
In the ocean and sometimes accom-
panied by fearful sea waves.
The records thus far compiled of the
Peruvian earthquakes enumerate over
$500 earthquakes between 1913 and
1878, of which 215 took place in the
cA0sS OSAsoA 80 la eA~ CCSSA~
teenth, s52 in the eighteenth and / ,452
in the nineteenth. It is quite evident
that no careful effort was made to
record these phenomena before the
beginning of the eighteenth century,
and Senior Polo, who has compiled the
catalogue, says that if they have been
recorded at all they must be sought
in rare and even in manuscript works
on various subjects, such as the chron-
icles Of religious bodies, the lives of
holy men and in theological or literary
treatises-
Father Cobo is quoted as saying that
in the middle of the sixteenth century
no year passed without an earthquake
in Peru and Chill, and DR.. Fuentes has
brought the fact to light that between
1878 and 1853 there were eight more
or less violent earthquakes every year
in Lima. That city and Arequipa APP
pear to be the principal centers of &C.
tivity. Lima has record Of 923 and
Arequipa of 1877 shocks.

FOR EFFICIENT WORK.
Though Work II Part of
Their Duty.

The supreme court of the United
States, in the case of Matthews VS..
United States, appealed from Indiana,
has held that public officer may re-
cover q reward for the arrest of GRIM
inal and that 1t is not contrary to pub
lie policy. The general rule of common
law, both in England and in this coun-
try, is that it Is contrary to public
policy to allow public official to re-
cover reward for doing an act which
he should have done in the ordinary
course of his duty. The supreme court
recognized the rule ut common law, but
limited it to reward offered the officer
by private individual.
In this case the reward was offered
under the direction of the attorney
general of the United States and the
court said that "the broad difference
between the right of an officer to take
from private individual reward or
compensation for the performance of
his official duty and the capacity of
such an officer to receive a reward ex-
pressly authorized by competent Leg
islative authority and sanc,loned by
the executive officer to whom the legis-
lative power has delegated ample dis.
erection to offer the reward is too OBJ
vious to require anything but state
ment." Justice Harlan and Justice
Peckham dissented, on the ground that
the offering or payment of reward
to public officer for the performance
of what was, at all events, nothing
more than his official duty was against
public policy.-Chicago Chronicle.

are usually worn over slip skirts, and

DISTINCTION EASY TO WIN.
One Man Who Succeeded by His Ener-
getic Work on the Big
Base Drum.

1T is curious and Interesting fact"
said Col. Calliper, according to the New
York Sun, that q man can achieve dis
tinction in his community in whatever
walk he may follow, no matter what
that may be. 1t is not required that
his shall be lofty pursuit, but only
that whatever he does shall be done
superlatively well, or in such manner as
to catch the public fancy. / once knew
bass drummer in band who, when
the band paraded, was the center of at
traction in it.
He made of bass drumming an art
and science, too; he was, in fact, de-
voted to it; a prime essential to high
success in any line. His drumming lad
novelty, and humor, too. He carried
his drum himself, in front of him with
outhelp, by straps around his back, and
used two drumsticks. 1t was years ago
that this bass drummer iourished, but
he played then in what is now called
ragtime, most effectively; emitting
strokes to put them in later, always in
perfect time, but often with the most
surprising variations; hourishing one
stick, or both, in the most animated and
eccentric fashion, and bringing one or
both into play again in the most un-
expected ways, with single strokes,
and double strokes, and strokes tum-
bling over one another in odd sequence,
curious and curiously shaded combina-
tions of sounds that appealed to the
sense of the grotesque and humorous
irresistibly. People used to walk along
on the sidewalk when the band turned
out to see and hear the bass drummer
play. Many time myself, by night,
in political campaigns when we had
torcllight professions in the town, and
and the band out to lead them, have
walked along where l could see him
and watched his drumsticks flying, and
listened fascinated and delighted to his
stirring and bombastic drumming.
Folks that didn't know him used to ask
his name; they wondered at him, and
wanted to know who he was.
'His walk in life was playing on the
bass drum; which might not seem to
be the surest path to fame. But he
played the bass drum with devotion.
spirit and originality, qualities that
command respect and admiration in
whatever pursuit they are displayed.
and SO he stood easily, as it was quite
right he should stand. among those who
had achieved distinction in that COM
munity."

At the present time but little of this
famous promontory projects over the
Niagara falls. 1t is at this point that
the finest view Of the falls is obtained.
Originally great mass OF rock over
hung the cataract. but in 1880 huge
section of the ledge, 200 feet in length
and 100 feet thick, broke Off and
crashed into the chasm, carrying with
1t an omnibus that was standing there.
Dickens wrote as follows OF the view
from Table Rock: at was not until

great heaven!-on what fall OF bright
green water that it came upon me in
its might and majesty. Then when |
felt how near to my Creator I was
standing, the first effect and the enaur-

heart, an image of beauty to remain

lace, says the st. Louis Republic.
The hats, in black and white, are
mostly crinoline, but white satin hats
are covered by rows of tiny black rib
bon, or black hats are stitched in close
rows with white silk. The high crown
has arrived, as / predicted quite six
months ago, and all hats and toques
are worn very forward, and the brim
rising over the face, in an almost ex-
aggerated fashion. At the back the

white of the boiled EGG Una. to Eat

Very few persons can eat the white
of hard-boiled egg with any degree
of comfort. Eggs are highly .nutri-
tious and easy of digestion when light
ly or under cooked. The albumin, the
white of the egg. coagulates MS soon
as it is dropped into hot water. The
long boiling renders the yolk soft and
mealy, but the white becomes tough
and indigestible. and should be dis
carded.-Ladies' Home Journal.
