HOW TO KEEp HOUSE.

No one would expect to establish a
successful business without conducting
1t upon systematic basis Espe-
cially would this be important in a
business requiring employees; then
should method be employed in even
the least important parts.
Many fail to recognize housekeeping
as a business that must be conducted
with the same precision as business
of different nature, in order for it
to run smoothly and successfully. To
employ method in housekeeping is an
exception and not the rule; the differ
cent kinds Of work are oftentimes per-
formed whenever be inclinations seem
to dictate, the greatest part of the
work of the entire week being allowed
to remain undone until perhaps only
two days remain in which to do the
work of six, and, in consequence, the
strength is overtaxed in doing that
which might have been done with no
injury to the worker had it been done
systematically. System cannot be
eliminated from the housekeeping OF
those who are dependent upon but one
servant to do the general housework;
and the housewife must herself do the
systematizing, as few servants are
capable of doing it wisely.

THE HARRIS BROTHERS.

Sammy Harris, who died in Chicago
the other day, was twin brother of
Harry Harris and both boys made
their mark in boxing circles. Sammy
sprang into prominence when he de-
feated Casper Leon. The latter had a
reputation as being one of the clever
est boxers in America, and was sup
posed to outclass Harris SO to 1. The
latter's manager evidently thought he
was tackling too hard a game and did
his utmost to prevent Sammy meeting
Leon. Sammy thought he had a good
chance and showed it by defeating
Casper easily. That victory made him
q reputation throughout the country.
and although never as prominently
known as his brother Harry he was
classed among the most scientific
featherweights in America. He was
only 81 when he djsd.

In the southwestern part of Sullivan
county, Pa, on the mountain which
rears its head over the valley in
which nestles the new popular resort
of Eaglesmere, lies the foundation of a
second Tower of Babel, the story of
which is a remarkable one. The re-
gion was wilderness when Peter
Armstrong of Philadelphia began the
building Of the proposed mighty struc-
ture In 1864, but to this day there
come few Of the mystic" ones who
weep over the failure Of Peters at
tempt to take heaven by assault"
Hundreds of men worked at these
foundations, and thousands of men
and women hoped that by the building
of the tower they would be able to
climb the lofty ladder into heaven in a
material sense. OF all the religious
maniacs which have taken one text
from the Bible and made it, without
context, moving religious force GER

Foreign Bodle. in tho wlndpipe.

The entrance of the foreign sub
stance, even if it is only water, causes
violent coughing and a spasmodic clos
ing of the larynx, which almost
amounts to suffocation. The danger
depends much upon the size and nature
Of the substance inhaled: if it is a
hard, smooth and rounded body such
as a melon seed. a small marble or
pebble, or the like, there is very good
chance that it may be expelled in the
same way it entered. To favor this ex-
pulsion the child should lie down, with
the head lower than the feet. or he
may be held up for a minute or two by
the heels, in order to get the assist
ance of the force of gravity. This
however, should be done if the doc.
tor is at hand to perform tracheotomJ
as last resort, because the foreign
body may become fixed in narrow

OTHER SPORTING MATTERS.

"A rising star in the billiard world IL
Leonard Howison, the young Cana
dian, who has recently gone to Paris,
where he will meet Schaefer and
other cracks. Howison, who is only
~ years of age, is regarded by ex-
perts OF the game to be destined to
don the mantle worn by the late ma
poleon" Ives. He has acquired note as
billiardist in short time. His de-
feat of Ora Morningstar recently in a
match game Is pointed to as an indi,
cation of his calibre.
If the plans proposed by that gam
est of American sportsmen, Thomas
w. Lawson of Boston do not miscarry,
New England will have trotting
race this season that will compare
more than favorably from financial
standpoint with the richest running
races in the world. No less than $780,
600 will be hung up for the longtails
in one event if the original plan be
adhered to, and if the event should be
made open to all, as it should be, the
sum may be 100000.

A Chaotic pena, sx.tsm.

The whole penal system of Della
ware is in more or less chaotic con-
dition, however. and this, as we'll as
the pillory and whipping pos, may be
attributed to lack Of public thought
or study along corrective and charita-
BILE lines. The state jails have the
qualities of old-time colony prisons.
There is no penitentiary. There is no
system of prison labor. There is no
reform school. For important crimes
the county Jail at New Castle Is select
ed because it is the largest and much
the strongest; for the most trivial Of
lenses the same prison is made to
serve. Prisoners with ten-day senten-
ces are mixed with those awaiting exc
cution and those who have lifetime
to serve. Young and old, boys and
grayhaired men, negroes and white.
all are jumbled together, and the dis
elimination made is one which lacks
import. 1t is that the short-term pris-
oners are allowed to do the small la
Dor, such as cleaning, cooking, coal
carrying, rock-beating and the like in
the open court or Jail yard. where
stands the pillory, while the long term
convicts are not allowed to do any
thing at ALL This is considered a fair
ly satisfactory arrangement, although

WHAT BAD EXAMPLE CAN DO.
A Christian Community Made ,nndels by

A Christian Community Made lnfidels by
Dlssolute Clergyman.
The Evangelist (PresbyteriaD, of
st. Louis, shows the effect of the bad
example of clergyman in Wisconsin
in it's recent issue:
Bohemians swarm in Milwaukee and
the country tributary thereto, there
being over 100000 in that locality. In
the town of Kossuth the Pohemians
were Protestant. They formed par
ish in 1864, built frame church and
sent to Bohemia for a minister. None
could be secured. A stone mason Of
the town acted instead. In 1869 a Bo-
hemian arrived in the settlement,
claiming to be minister. The peo-
pie received him gladly-jubilantly-
for he answered their wish of years.
However, he later developed dissolute
habits, became hard drinker and was
forced to leave the colony. On his de-
parture almost the whole community
became infidel. 1t was a singular re-
vulsion of feeling, growing out of their
disappointed hopes. Infidel societies
were formed. Infidel speakers from,
Chicago and elsewhere came ant

EvART's GREATEST SPEECH

Ten Hours Each

The late William M. Evarts was
acted for the length of his sentences
and the length of his speeches. Prob
ably one of the two greatest triumphs
OF ms career was his successful defense
of Andrew johnson in the great inn
parchment trial. Johnson entered the
White House as a war democrat, sup
ported by the Republican party. He
mad not been in Office many months
before he was accused by a certain fac
tlon OF the Republicans of "Johnsoniz-
ing the party, of using it as tool to
benefit the democracy, and this led to
the attempt to impeach the president.
MBr. Evarts felt that the whole pro-
ceedings were dangerously partisan, as
we'll as unjust, and he devoted all his
powers to defending the president. His
closing argument lasted four days, with
sitting of ten hours each day. This
speech fairly bristled with epigrams.
AT one time he exclaimed, turning
scornfully to the MANAGERS of the
impeachment; NV client the presi-

he was a matriculated student of the

gan course of study in the classics.
One day he happened into a lecture
room in which a course of lectures on
mathematics was being given by an
eminent scientist. Mr.. Morgan listened
to the professor and, becoming inter-
ested, returned again and again, and
finally, merely as an intellectual graft
ticatlon. took full course in higher
mathematics, during which he showed
such marked capacity and originality
that it was intimated to him by the
university authorities that if he would
continue his work he might expect tc
receive an appointment as professo,

prove tempting to Mr.. Morgan, and he
returned to America to enter upon the
very remarkable career that he has
since made for himself.

TWO OLD CARPETS SOLD FOR $500
