WASHOAY WISDOM.

A very hot iron should never be used
for flannels or wOolens.
Calicoes, ginghams and chintzes
should be irOned on the wrong side.
ClOthesllnes arc made much more
durable by boiling for ten minutes be-
fore they are used.
Table linen should be ironed when
quite damp and irOned with a very hot
and very heavy iron.
Irons should not be allowed to be-
come redhot. as they will never retain
the heat properly afterward.
EmbrOideres should be ironed on a
thin, smooth surface over thick flannel
and only on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use of n little refined borax In
the water instead of using a washing
fluid.
Wash fabrics that are inclined 70
fade should be soaked and rinsed in
very salt water, to set the color, before
washing in the suds.
Silken fabrics. especially white silk
handkerchiefs, should not be damp
ened, but ironed with moderately
warm iron when taken from the line.

COmposition on Love

Love is a thing that makes people
think each other pretty when nobody
else does.
1t causes two persons to be awful
quiet when you're round and also quiet
when you're not round-only in a diff
ferent way.
ii also causes people to sit together
on one end of bench when there's
heaps of room on the other end.
Nurses has it and sometimes police-
men. That's when they don't know
where you are, and you have lots of
fun playing on the grass.
Husbands and wives has it, but most
generally only lovers.
Old people don't have much, cause
1t has to be about dimples and red
cheeks and fluffy curls and lots of
things which old people don't ever
have.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctoas, were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis.
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure.
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the ner
vous and organic action of the system.
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses of

WORK IN A LIGHTHOUSE.
Daily Tasks Performed in Keeping the
Lamps Clean and Bright.

The duties of the lighthouse keeper
are many and important. The TOP of
the tower is usually a tiny room, all
glass windows. The lantern is in the
center of the room. 1t is a great prism
OF glass, in shape like a beehive. The
lamp is set into this, and the lenses
magnify the comparatively small light
of the lamp and make it a great beacon
seen far off over the waters. Should
the luminant be a flashlight, there is
machinery to be wound up every few
hours to cause it to revolve. At sunset
the keeper climbs the steep steps in the
high tower, takes down the curtains
that darken it throughout the day and
sets the lamp inside the lantern. At
midnight the lamp is changed. A fresh
~ filed one is put in the place of the
first lighted one.
When storms are raging or fOgs pre-
vailing, the keeper stays awake to
wind the machinery that keeps the fog
signal booming over the water MANY
sleepless nights are thus spent by the
light Keepers in devoted vigil of the
"Auo " nav lSdJlOn. AT the graV of
dawn the keeper is again climbing the
steep iron ladder to the tower top. Be-
fore the red rim of the sun appears the
lamp Is extinguished, the fine prismatic
lenses are covered. and the huge panes
OF glass that form the walls of the
room are curtained. The large lamp is
carried down the flights of an almost
perpendicular ladder and when filed.
trimmed and cleaned is ready for the
sunset hour The work of the keeper IS
not concluded with this feat. The most
perplexing portion of the daily routine
Is now to be performed.
The light keeper must give an ac-
count of his stewardship. A record Is
Kept of every gill, pint. quart and gal
Ion of oil that is nightly consumed bv

FINE PROFIT IN WHITE POTATOES.
ln New England Cities They are Now Selling
For Sl.75 Per BusheI.

Those who have abundant crops of
corn and potatoes will be the plntocrats
among the farmers this year, if all re-
ports are true. From all sections
comes the cry that there are few pota-
toes. The shortage covers New Eng
land, the West and also the Southern
States. Maryland and Delaware seem
TO be the only exceptions, and on the
Peninsula, at least, there will probably
be the usual yield. South of Pennsyl-
vania there are two crops, an early and
a later one, while in the Northern and
some Western States there is but one.
Most of the early Delaware potatoes
have been marketed at good prices, but
there is yet steady advance.
From present indications late pota-
toes are making well, and a dollar a
bushel is not high estimate for them.
Almost every farmer has a surplus
after keeping sufficient for home con.
sumption, and this will mean a great
deal of ready money for our farmers.
That the reports are pretty accurate is
evidenced by the present market quo
tations, as dealers have a way of reach
ing the future yield pretty accurately.
In the New England cities they are
now selling at from S1.5O to S1.75 per
bushel. EUeniag Journal.

HANDLING BIG SERPENTS.
Poisonous Snakes ia Demand by Doctors
For Experimenting

"In handling a big snake you must
always touch him with a soft, smooth,
gliding motion of the hand, making it
feel to him as much as possible like
the touch of another snake, and, be-
sides, you must be careful to keep his
tail out straight. Keep the tail straight,
and he can't coil on you. His bite is
nothing, for he has not poison, but his
coil around your leg or arm or body
will crush the bones.
THE poisonous snakes-the water,
moccasins, rattlesnakes and copper
heads-are bought for ZOOS. Now and
then doctor buys them heavily for
awhile. He wants TO experiment with
their poison. After he has been bitten
two or three times he stops buying.
There are number of people who
buy snakes for pets. These people al
ways, without an exception, make pets
also of rats. mice and turtles. ANY one
fond of snakes is sure to be fond of
those other things too. They keep their
snakes and turtles and rats as near as
possible to them. Often they keen
them in their bedrooms. There was a
young man who used to come here last
year after pine snakes-a university
student. That young man would sit
with his hand in among the coils of a
caGeful of snakes for hours. He would
take ones head in his hands and lift
its face close up to his own and gaze
for a long time in its eyes. Then he
would hold it off and stroke it and
study its changing colors in a kind of
trance. don't know what pleasure or
satisfaction he got out of the snakes.
He bought over a dozen from me dur
ing the year and kept them in his bed

LOVE AMONG SAVAGES.
Ability to Stand Torture a Test OF
Masculine Devotion.

Ability to Stand Torture n Test of
Masculine Devotion.
Among the Arabs of upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to a girl must sub
NIT to whipping at the hands of all
her male relatives, and, says a dry
narrator, ''if he wishes to be consider
ed worth having he must receive the
chatisement, which is sometimes ex-
ceedingly severe, with an expression
of enjoyment"
Not infrequently it is the maiden her
self who imposes the test. The Saka-
lava girls of Madagascar make their
lovers stand at a short distance from n
clever spear thrower and catch be-
tween the arm and side every weapon
flung at them. If the youth displays
Tea" or fails to catch the spear, he is
ANONYMOUSLY rejected, but if there be
no hinching and the spears are caught
he is at once proclaimed an accepted
lover"
Worse than this is the trial enforced
upon their suitors by the Dongolowee
girls. When in doubt as to the respec-
tive merits of two rivals, the young la
dy fastens a sharply pointed knife to
each elbow; then, seating herself be-
tween her lovers, she drives the blades
slowly into their thighs. and the hero
who takes the greatest length of steel
without murmur wins the bride.
Major Mitchell in his Expeditions
into the Interior of Eastern Australia"
says of the natives on the river Darling
that all their ideas of fighting are as
sociated with the possession of gins or
wives and that after battle the wives
do not always follow their fugitive
husbands from the field but frequently
go over, as a matter of course, to the
victors." None but the brave deserve
the fair" is a maxim we'll understood
OF most barbaric races. = Chambers
Journal
