PEOPLES QUEER WAYS.

In the extreme north and extreme
south of England some remains can be
traced of the old style of harvest home,
which was usually celebrated during
September. The emblem of it was the
kern baby, or, as it is called in the
north, the kirn-dolly, tiny sheaf
made of the last stalks Of grain cut,
tied with bright ribbon and carried
home by the harvest queen, to be aft
erward hung on the wall Of the great
straw barn, while the harvesters
feasted on boiled mutton and potatoes
and home-brewed beer and then
danced till morning.
A party of Bedouin Arabs, with cam

for some weeks at the geological gar

they left for Trieste, seven Viennese
brides, to whom they will be married
with Arabian rites upon reaching their
destination. All the women had prop
erty. Thirty others who wanted to
take up a desert life were rejected be-
cause of their poverty.

TRICK OF VOICE.

--.- SleeDing.
d Street,
RICHMOND, Va.

aow One Lawyer Keeps the judge E-sD
sleeping.
There is said to be lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses trick Of the
voice to which certain measure of his
success in United States Supreme court
practice is due. The trick consists in
waking judge. Whether it is COM
mon practice for the high dignitaries
Of the federal supreme bench to in
dulge in nap in the course of a long
and tedious argument, such happen
.ngs are not unknown, and it is well
for an able logician of the bar to be
prepared for It. The trick Of waking a
sleepy Judge would seem to be some
thing in the nature of slamming a law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current Of an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-
planned as purely matter of sound
involved In the skillful control OF the
voice It is said that barristeT prac-
iced in the art and rhetoric OF address
Ing the bench can gather all the waves
Of sound from his throat into focus
and deposit it in the orifice of the
Judges ear with the general effect Of a
oomb. The trick, however it is ac-
.omplished, is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the late
Judge McKennan, whose habit OF going
TO sleep on the bench was once no.
torious subject Of comment in the !iti-
cation over the Berliner telephone pat
ents. This queer trick of the voice.
while it is said to be the peculiar prop.
erty of one celebrated lawyer, is prob
pbly attempted often with varying suc-'
less by rs-Phiiadslplia Record.

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS.

A few drops Of turpentine in hot
starch adds luster to ironed linen.
Arrowroot tied in a thick cotton rag
and boiled with linens and cottons i'm
parts an odor to them that is pleasing.
English pottery with Dutch notices
seems an anomaly and rather incon-
gruous, but the effect is quaint and at.
tractive. Candlesticks with strange
birds and beasts appeal to the eye.
Silk and linen are woven together to
make the handsomest table damask.
Sometimes the goods is brought out
in mauve, gold and white and an es-
pecially pretty pattern was all in soft
rosy pink.
A shelf supported by brackets and
from which falls curtain is good
scheme to conceal q radiator. Then
the shelf may be embellished by large
brass or copper pot or few pieces Of
bric-a-brac.
To avoid wrinkling bodices and jack
cts they should be hung on frames such
as men use for their coats, winding the
frames first with cloth or silk, upon
which, If desired, orris or other sachet
powder may be sprinkled.
Little used mating, as in spare
chambers or upper summer rooms.
should be swept very clean, then wiped
with cloth wrung out of sweet milk.
Do this once year-it keeps the straw
live and to degree plant. II the milk
wash is used in living room or on q

hot clear water to keep the floor from
