The importance ot the sleeping aod bathing arrangements of a house IS not half appreciated, :" writes Maria Parloa, ia the Novem- Der Ladies' Home Jootnal, giving some suggestions as to furnishing the house. "Everv bedroom should be provided with tue essentials for hea th'v( sleep aud the daily sponge bath. As nearly as possl ble, the room should be kept free from any tbing that would tend to contamin- ate the air. It should be as large ao one can afford, aud the windows so arranged that they may be opened at the top and bottom.
 II possible the floor should be bare and the rugs so small that they can be taken outdoors with ease for cleaning and airing. Everything about the room should be washable. The bed should be ligEt and fitted with stroug casters, sy that it may be readily moved; the springs ought to be firm and strong, and the mat tress of kiod that will not allow the heaviest part of the body to sink, aad so cause the sleeper to lie io a eramped position.

Tit for Tat

It is characteristic that those who gre severe on others that they cannot bear severity. Dean Swift, the sever- est satirist of his day, was one day dining with company of gentlemen. one of whom he made the butt of his ridicule, with repeated sallies. At last the dean poured upon piece of duck some gravy intended to be eaten with a roasted goose. The unfortunate gen. deman, seeing this, immediately said; My good dean, you surprise me-you eat duck like goose" The company roared, and dean was so confused and mortified that he flew into rage and left the table.

Lively Streak OF Mouse.

Several persons standing in front OF
q show window On Fourth street
watching q procession of Japanese
mice In a cage as they ran In at one
door of their sleeping apartment and
out at another with lightning rapidly
became involved in a dispute as to how
many of the animals there were. One
said there were only two mice, while
others thought there were at least
three.
They were very active, curious little
animals and, instead Of being OF the
proper mouse color, were black and
white, marked In large blotches like
Holstein cattle or old fashioned swine.
The holes into and out Of which they
ran were close together, and they chas-
ed around so swiftly that 1t was i'm
possible to count them, for sometimes
there was a mouse at each hole and
sometimes one outside and the others
inside, and sometimes 1t appeared as II
there were just one long mouse In q
circle revolving on a pivot, with noses
and tails at intervals.
The mad race was kept up for some
time, and finally all the mice disap-
Feared as If by magic. One Of the spec
tators went into the store and asked
how many mice there were In the cage,
stating that he and his companions had
not been able to decide, as they moved
too quickly to be counted. A clerk said
there was only one mouse, and 1t was
impossible to count 1t except when 1t
was asleep and, seeing look or In
credulity on the countenance or the
caller, raised the top of the cage ana
showed one little black and white
mouse nesting on piece Of cotton In
a corner.-Portland Oregonian.

The BOTTLE at Ship Launches.

Down to Charles IFS time it was Gus
tomary to name and baptize a ship aft
er she was launched, sometimes a
week or two after. The old Tudor
method used for men-of-war was still
in use. Pepys' "Diary" shows that.
The ship was safely got afioat, after
which some high parsonage went on
board with a special silver standing
cup" or "f1aggon" Of wine, out of which
he drank, naming the ship, and poured
a libation on the quarter deck. The
cup was then generally given to the
dockyard master shipwright as a me-
mento.
When did the present usage OF nam
ing and baptizing a ship before she Is
sent af1oat come in? trace the last
explicit mention of the old method to
1864, when the Royal Katherine was
launched (see Pepys). The first men,

Why s Not 1900 a Leap Year?

When the charge was made
from "old style" to "neW style"
by dropping eleven days out of
the year, it was known that the
exact length of the year was not
365 a days, but 365 days, five
hours, forty eight minutes and
fifty seconds, and this difference
OF eleven minutes, tea seconds,
was fought to be e4ualized by
deciding that the years ending
the centuries should not be leap
years excepting when they were
by four hundred, as
other leap years are those divisi-
bic by four. Thus 1900 is not
leap year, but the years 1000
and 24oo will be.
