The farm house owned by G. S.
Brown, and occupied by the Chapman
family, was destroyed by fire on New
Years day. Mr. and Mrs Chapman
were away leaving the house i'm the
care Of the children. About TO- CLOCK
it was found to be on fire. One Of the
children ran to Nelson Hicock's and
another, to Southford. When help
came it was impossible to save the
house but most of the furniture was
saved. No insurance. The house was
probably built abont 178O for Ephraim
Stiles, son OF Benjamin Stiles of White
Oaks. It was sold by his son, Erastus.
Later it came into possession of Henry
Brown, father of Charles Brown.

An unsolved Problem.

Mrs. Emmons Blaine of Chicago
whose scheme of employing servants
by relays and only for certain pre-
scribed hours attracted such atten-
ton a few months ago, has had to
give it up. Report has it that after
faithfully testing the plan Mrs.
Blaine retired to the country this
summer, a perfect wreck--utterly
worn out through her efforts to
solve the servant question in way
hailed by THEORISTS as the only saliva
ton both for maid and mistress.
Somewhat recuperated," says the
New York Sun, ''Mrs. Blaine will
venture back to Chicago this win
ter, but her house, the scene of the
late domestic experiments, will re-
main closed. She has taken az
apartment. Her meals will be taker
at Il restaurant, and whatever sery-
ice she requires will be performed
by the attendants Of the apartment
house. 1t begins to look as if the
only way to get rid of the servant
question was to get rid of the sery-
ants"

He look the Beer.

Not long ago Professor N. r.
Leonard, who was called recently to
the presidency of the mining college
at Butte, Mon, feeling indisposed,
consulted his physician, a German,
very scientific and acknowledged as
one of the leading men in his pro-
fession in Montana. The doctor
advised Mr.. Leonard to work less
at the desk, exercise more outdoors
and take beer as a tonic, something
the professor had never cared for.
The doctor met his patient II, few
days later as he was leaving the col
lege and stopped to inquire how he
was feeling.
"About the same," replied the
professor.
"Did you take beer as l directed ?"
inquired the physician.
"Yes," responded the professor (;
81 took it few times, but it be-
came so nauseous that | had to dis
continue it."
GLOW much did you take?"
"Why, | bought whole bottle
and took a spoonful before each
NEAL" answered the professor.

consideration, is a nut pudding. 10
make it beat separately the yolks
and whites of six eggs. To the
yolks add one and half cups OF
granulated sugar, and to the whites,
beaten to the stiffest possible froth,
add three cups of finely chopped or
pounded nuts. Hazelnuts, pecans
or almonds are equally good. Mix
all together lightly and stir in one
teaspoonful of vanilla. Then, last
of all, sift in one teaspoonful of
baking powder well mixed in one
tablespoonful of flour.
This is to be baked quickly i'll

serve is to be put together like layer
cake with whipped cream. A pint
of this thoroughly chilled and sea
soned with favoring or brandy will
be sufficient to put between layers
and over the top and sides.

Of the story is an inventor who had

he was curious to see the expert
ment and that he would let him
know as soon as he had consulted
the law on the subject. Three days
later the police officer said to the
inventor;

"Thcre's this difference between

anything unless he knows it."

Tho kiinh Mountalns.

The reason, Signor Mosso tells us,
why so few have attempted the as
cent of the highest peaks on the
face of the earth is the conviction
that man cannot withstand the rare
fled air of these attitudes. "Hero-
ism shrinks from such prolonged
suiTerings as those due to lack of
health" His own experiment and
observations, however, give US as
surance that man will be able slow
ly to accustom himself to the dimin-
ished barometric pressure Of the
Himalayas. "If BIRDS" he says, "Ay

ought to be able to reach the same
altitude at a slow rate of progress.

Preparing Glue For Ready Use.

To any quantity Of glue use com
mon whisky instead of water. Put
both together in bottle, cork it
tight and set it by for three or four
days, when it will be fit for use
without the application of heat.
Glue thus prepared will keep for
years and is at all times fit for use,
except in very cold weather, when
it should be set in warm water be-

Fruit For rheumatism.

The use of fruit diminishes acid
ity and antagonizes rheumatism.
The acids in fruits undergo changes
which diminish the acidity of the
blood and aid in the elimination of
rheumatic acid.
The most digestible fruits arc
ripe grapes, peaches, Strawberries
apricots, oranges, very ripe pears
figs, dates, baked apples and stewed
fruits.
A dietary consisting wholly Of
fruits is valuable means of over
coming biliousness.
Such dietary may be maintain
ed for one or two days week.
A modified fruit dietary is highly
beneficial.
The most laxative fruits are APP
pies, figs, prunes and peaches.-

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Something About Rugs, Which Have
Displaced Carpets.

Rugs have largely displaced car
pets in American homes of recent
years.
The modern hygienic housewife
insists upon having movable floor
coverings because they can be kept
so much cleaner.
For people who rent, too, rugs
are found in the long run to be
cheaper, because with change OF
residence they can be more easily
fitted than carpet to the new
floors.
There are few facts which the
woman who buys rugs for her house
needs to know. Persian rugs lead
all the rest in artistic design as
well as coloring. Ten dollars is
what square foot of the best Per-
sian rug is worth, and it took a sim
gle weaver twenty-three days to
complete that portion.
The Turkish rugs from Siwas are
made of wool and are woven in al
most every hamlet and home. Ey-
cry poor family has as a part OF
their house furnishings rugs which
are very valuable, but which they
will not part with except in time of
the direst need.
The Smyrna rugs are compare
lively inferior in quality. Their
name is derived from the mart to
which they are brought for sale.
They are made in the interior from
the Angora goats coarse hair.
Yuruk rugs are made by a band
of nomads in the mountains OF Ana
tolia. These are rugs of firm, even
texture woven from the wool Of the
fine focks of sheep.
