OBJECTS TO THE JUDeMENT.-Mr.
Constant Ponnet, who formerly con-
Quoted d saloon IN this city, but who
now resides IN West End, was before
the Mayor about q week ago on CON-
plant Of a man named Motley and hi
son charged with threatening to shoot
the complsiDants. The charge was moi
sustained, but the Mayor fned Mr..
Ponuet 50 for disorderly conduct, but
he later RENTED the fac and dis
missed the accused with an edmonitloD.
Inc elder Motley was subsequently ar
rested at the instance Of Mr.. Ponnet,
was tried by a magistrate 10 West EOd
aod ia default of the payment OF fine
was sent to Jail. Mr.. Ponnet takes ex.
ceptio0s to the action of the Mayor in fin
ing him aud has sent card to this Office
giving his version of the affair, together
with the complaint he urges against the
Motleys end for which the elder was
arrested and sent to Fairfax county Jail.
Tue entire matter was trivial, and the
Gazstte 10 publishing the item implied
that Mr.. Ponnet, according to the evi-
deuce, was not guilty of the charge
preferred against him Of threatening
to shoot.

does keep cook. In this connection
it is an interesting question whether
the domestic difficulty arises from the
fact that both the employer and the
cook Is woman. What if one, or
both, were men? Many families have
solved the problem by employing
male cook. Most sevlces that are reg
ular, efficient and reliable are organ
ived and performed, we observe, by
men. The hotel and large boarding
house succeed because they employ
male cooks. Is it a case of nerves !?
Is the average housekeeper irritable
lasking in self.control and on this &C.
count unable to get along with the
female who is similarly lacking? 1t
is a nice question. Doubtless both
employer and employed are sometimes
at fault. Women, it is said, seldom
get on we'll with each other when they
regard each other as equals; much less
when the one wishes to assert her
equality and the other, with INSULT
cient tact, denies it. The remedy, so
long as "the lady" in the kitchen and
"the woman" in the parlor can't agree,
is to 60 where unimaginative males,
without social pretensions, do the
cooking.-Baltimore Sun.

WORDS OF TRUTH.

Men who reject parts Of the Bible
that they do not understand should re-
fuse to ca. for the same reason.
No one can strike effective blows for
God until he is ready to receive hard
blows from the enemies of righteous
ness.
Christ, the great Physician, never
refuses to cure disease because the pa
tient is unable to pay for the prescrip-
ton.
1t is not wise to spend your time
hunting for mistakes in others that
should be devoted to correcting errors
in yourself.
The world would be greatly i'm
proved if people would SOW more seed
for the living and plant less flowers for
the dead.
If we will hold close communion
with the Lord and talk less to the
world of our sorrows and trials, We
will get along better.

THE CARE OF LINEN.

The shelves or drawers of linen
closet should be neatly covered with
white paper that is changed frequent
ly. A few sprigs Of lavender or some
very mild saehet-powder in bags should
be laid among the pieces, TO take away
the slight odor of soap than often is
noticeable. In using slip under the
pile cf each article the sheets, cases
and towels latest from the laundry. In
this way they all get the same amount
of wear. After ironing and before
putting away, each piece should be
looked over for any rent that may have
come in the washing. When broad
sheets grow thin in the middle over
cast the outer selvages together, tear
them down the middle, cutting away
the thin part, and hem these edges;
then there is sheet complete for
narrow beds.-Mary Graham in the
October Woman's Home Companion.
During the excavations near Lamp
saki, on the Dardanelles, beauti-
full vase was found. 1t is made of
clay, eacrusted on the exterior with
gold. 1t has three golden handles
and splendid reliefs representing hunt
ing scenes. The date of the vase,
which contained human ashes, bones
and pearls, is estimated at about B.
C. 400.

OPTICALILLUSIONS.

Seeing is not always believing, for
nothing is more deceptive than human
vision. As you read the impression
of the type used in making this page,
you doubtless imagine that you read
the whole of each type impression.
You are mistaken. You only notice
the upper half Of each letter. You
can prove this by covering the upper
half of any line with sheet Of paper,
being careful to hold the paper exact
ly in the middle of the letters, and you
will not, without the greatest difficulty.
decipher a single word. Now place
the paper over the lower half of the
line. You can read it without the
slightest trouble.
Here is another illusion: liver tical
lines be drawn on piece of paper and
the paper be held nearly parallel to the
line of vision-so that the eye, as it
were, skins the paper-the lines ap-
pear immensely torshortened. In this
way writing which was otherwise quite
illegible becomes perfectly evident.
A very striking illusion is to be fire.
quently met with when driving or
riding along a straight road. The on
ly requirements necessary are that the
road should descend along slight in
cline, and them ascend at cores
ponding-or, better still, a greater
angle. When you arrive nearly at the
bottom of the incline, the ascending
portion of the road, which must be in
a perfectly straight line with the por-
tion you are on, will appear so steep
as to seem quite inaccessible; but as
you proceed the road appears to be-
come nearly level.
The reason for this is twofold. In
the first place, when the road ascends
directly in front Of US it appears fore
shortened. Now, we have no means
of judging the amount of foreshorten-
ing, and the imagination leads US to
think it is much sleeper than it really
is.

THE ROYAL MONTH AND
THE ROYAL DISEASE.

Sudden changes of weather are es.
pecially trying, and probably to none
more 80 than to the scrofulous and
consumptive. The progress of scro-
fula during a normal October is COM
monty great. We never think of
scrofula-its punches, cutaneous erup-
tions, and wasting of the bodily sub
stance-without thinking of the great
good many sufferers from it have de-
rived from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose
radical and permanent cures of this
one disease are enough to make it the
most famous medicine in the world.
There is probably not city or town
where Hoods Sarsaparilla has not
proved its merit in more homes than
one, in arresting and completely erad-
lcating scrofula, which is almost as Sc
rious and as much to be feared as its
near relative,-consumption.

Qlaetry,
THE SHOPPER.

Grim-visaged, stern of face and men,
She treads the earth to keep It down.
Nor looks behind, to right nor left;
Her elbows swing and stab aud jab
TO clear path, where idle throngS
Would bar her way to windows decked
With hose marked down to 40,
From 81; or things in tin,
Or lace, or glass, or silk, or null,
The thing itself she little recks;
The marking down-the price in red
All, that's the thing that fires her brain
And nerves her limbs to struggle on
To jab and stab and tread on corns
or those, who first in line had choice
or colors. weights and shades and lots.
She'll pay them back in harsh retort
For inches gained and bargains lost.
Time flies; her strength, now failing fast,
Must bear final rush to where
The sign "Shop worn," beacon light,
Shows things in green and red and blue.
All much crum bled. some torn and soiled,
But all marked "Choice for 80"
Night falls. She reels, all spent and worn,
A hat-warped, glove-torn, helpless thing,
TO clutch a strap on homeward train,
And smile in triumph as she counts
"A penny saved on this-on that
Yes two, no three-how nice! And this?
y, yes, one there, two here; let's see
That's seven in all-yes, that is right!

HOW TO AVOID COLDS.

"There is no more common disease
to which the human family is subject .
said a well-know Baltimore doctor the
other day, ethan that designated by
the laity as "a cold.' Most everybody
speaks of having caught cold,' when
what they really meant is that the
diseased process has seized their system

originate in colds and many diseases
of the other organs.
"Ordinally when one takes cold the
direct action of a reduced temperature
or cold is usually upon the membranes
of the body that open upon the surface
such as the nose and mouth. The
inflammatory conditions which result
interfere with the normal conditions
of the body by which the nutritive
changes of the tissue are disturbed, so
the balance of health is overthrow
and not enough animal heat is pro-
duced to neutralize the lowered tenn
perature to the body.
"To avoid or prevent colds after
they are once formed can be brought
about by educating the system to
quickly neutralize any loss of body
heat caused by too rapid exposure to
cold.
"The man who wraps his throat
with a red rag to scare away the
roaring elements lowers the resistance

child is reared the better able is he to
