HOW TO ACT AT A HOTEL.
Best Plan of Registering and Get
ting Wants Attended To.

4 man accompanied by his wife
should not drag her into the crowd
that hangs around the office. as two
thirds Of them do. He should first take
her to the parlors. leave her there and
20 to the Office alone When he has
registered and been assigned a room,
he should 60 and get her.
When the boy has shown them the
room, the guest should not hesitate to
say so If he does not like it. There are
doubtless others empty, and it is the
clerks place to try to please.
Another great blunder is not to ask
the price Of the room before looking at
it. Many n man feels reluctant to do
this, but it is purely business. If the
price does not suit, he can kick, but
there is no use complaining after the
bill is sent in and saying that he has
been overclarged, that. he has been
there before and always had a lower
rate and all the many things that q
man is apt to think about when he Is
ready to leave.
When a woman is alone, she should
not go to the office. All that is neces-
sary is to take seat in the parlor and
send her card to the clerk, stating
whether she wants a bathroom or not
and exactly the kind of accommoda-
tons she wants.
She should frankly say if she wishes
quiet room, q small room, an mex
pensive room or any preference she
may have.
Despite all the printed warnings on
hotel walls it is almost impossible to
get women to send their valuables to
the office safe. Why? 1t is mystery.
But the owners prefer, as a rule, to
take the chances. Then, if a loss oc-
ours, they blame not their own care
lessness, but the hotel management.
Another thing: Trunks should be
kept locked. Every hotel tries to get
honest help. No hotel can guarantee
that all it's employees are or always
will be proof against temptation. Ev-
cry hotel asks it's patrons not to tempt
them.

How to Make Koumiss.

One quart of perfectly fresh milk,
one-fifth Of 2 cent cake Of yeast, one
tablespoonful Of sugar. Dissolve the
yeast in a little water and mix it with
the sugar and milk. Put the mixture
into strong bottles-beer bottles are
good-cork them with tightly fitting
shoppers and tie down securely with
stout twine. Shake the bottles for
full minute to mix thoroughly the in
gradients, then place them on end in
refrigerator or some equally cool place
to ferment slowly. At the end Of three
days lay the bottles on their sides; turn
them occasionally. Five days are re-
quired to perfect the fermentation. and
then the koumiss is at it's best 1t will
keep indefinitely in refrigerator.

Got His Negro from u Georgia Stock.

Mr.. John ID. Sullivan. OF Princeton, Lau-
reus county, this State, was in town few
days AGO on bis return from Georgia. He
had been over there TO get uegro who was
under contract with him. He found him IN
Georgia in "a stockade somewhat similar TO
tue Anderson slockade. The negro was de.
prived of his liberty and required 10 work for
task masters.
Public sentiment generally is now directed
TO the correcting of the evil IL from which the
colored laborer has suffered so severely in The
recent past. The good people of the country
are determined to see that justice il done TO
all parties. Mr. Sullivan says that his labor
er has been very unjustly treated In this mat
ter, and his Influence Will be directed 10
remedying the evil which has existed for
some time. The Georgia people will be sued
for damages.

HOW TO ATTAIN OLD AGE.
Advice From nm Authority on the
Subject of Longevity.

Of the giving of recipes for longevi-
ty there Is apparently 10 enl. Every
man or woman who has reached out
far beyond the allotted threescore
wears and ten Is made the subject of
an entertaining argument to prove the
points Of this or that contender.
Every abnormality In the shape of
strength Of ann, of back, Of general
system, is used as an illustration of
the virtues Of this or that system of
exercise or living. 1t is the opinion of
a good many laymcn that mankind
does entirely too much thinking on the
subject Of how to live to 4 ripe old age.
Less worry on this point might lead
to the desired result.
But there never will be less worry.
Even now the list of systems for pro-
longation Of mans days is being aug
mented. The very latest suggestion
comes from a physician Of credit and
renown. He thinks that there is a
very great deal Of benefit or of injury
in the wearing Of certain kinds Of
clothing!
According to this authority, the
wearing Of flannel next the skin is
immensely injurious to the general run
Of men and women. Cotton is king, in
his opinion. For summer wear he
suggests q calico shirt, while balbrig-
gan cotton is his idea Of winter cov-
ering. The main point of his theory
is the necessity of wearing always the
same kind Of material next the skin,
whether this be Of linen, cotton or
wool.
Outdoor exercise is highly recon-
mended-that is, if cycling be except
ed. Wheeling is not considered a sane
performance by this judge.

Hoxv to Tell Age Of Horses.

The popular idea that the age OF q
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
wear the horse has no more new teeth.
so that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age of horse which is more
than years old. AS soon as the set OF
teeth is complete, however. a wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge OF
the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle Is
added each year, so that to get at the
age Of a horse over 8 years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

THE KITCHEN RANGE.
How to Economic on the Use of
CoaI-Building Fires.

Coal-Building Fires.
One of the most fruitful sources of
household waste and extravaganza is
the coal bin, and tons Of fuel are used
where 4 single one would give the
same results. Open drafts and range
full to the covers Of glowing Goals not
only burn q needless amount OF coal,
but burn out the range at the same
time. \ shovelful Of coal or sufficient
to lightly cover the fire will accom-
plish as much as half scuttleful, ex-
cepting in the increase OF the coal
mans trade.
For small range nut coal Is best;
for large one, small egg coal. Red
ash coal makes a hotter fire, with
fewer cinders, than the white ash, and
the latter burns more slowly. For
these reasons an equal mixture of the
two is a wise economy. The ashes
taken from the fire should never be
thrown into the can until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
be used on the fire at times when the
greatest heat is not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal Is we'll aglow.
A third Of cupful Of kerosene with
which to saturate the kindling and
coal before putting it in the range
will facilitate the housemaid's morn
ing work, whether or not the fire has
been kept overnight. Kerosene should
never, however, be poured directly into
stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way is to lay the wood on
shovel and cover it there with the
oil, and then add sprinkling to a
shovelful Of coal. Many housekeepers
insure their kitchens against accident
from this cause by leaving part Of
cupful Of oil for the servants use and
locking the rest in the storeroom.
A handful of sugar will revive an
expiring fire as quickly as will kero-
sene, but happy the housewife whose
maid is ignorant Of the fact. This ac-
counts in many cases for the rapid dis
appearance of the kitchen sugar sup

How tn Make Poor Mans Pudding.

Wash two tablespoonfuls Of rice thor
oughly, put it in a pudding dish, pour
over it a quart Of rich milk, add four
heaping tablespoonfuls Of granulated
sugar and saltspoonful Of salt. Stand
the dish on the back Of the stove and as
it heats and the rice begins to swell
stir it often from the bottom to keep
it from sticking. When the rice Is quite
soft, add half q teaspoonful Of vanilla
extract and CRATE in quarter Of a nut
meg. Stir these favorings through
we'll and put the dish in the oven. AS
often as the milk begins to wrinkle Oh
top after placing it in the oven stir 1t
thoroughly, not allowing a crust to
form on top till the milk becomes thick
and creamy. Then do not stir it any
more. Let is get delicate brown on
top and then take it from the oven.
Serve cold with currant jelly.

How to Care For the Eyes.

When the eyes ache, relieve them
by closing the lids for five or ten min
utes. When stinging and red through
crying, they should be bathed in rose
water or wet handkerchief with rose
water and lay it over them for a few
minutes. If they are bloodshot, you
need more sleep or have been sitting
in a draft. If they have a burning
sensation, battle them with hot water
to which q dash Of witch hazel has
been added. If the whites Of the eyes
are yellow and the pupils dull, strict
attention should be paid to diet

learned what true joy is, and he who
steps lightly under a heavy burden
has performed the duty of acquiring
new and Christlike strength.
1t is only imperfection that COM
plains of what is imperfect. The more
perfect we are the more gentle and
quiet we become toward the defects of
