KITCHEN HELPS.

To clean a greasy sink a little paraffin
oil, rubbed on with a piece of flannel,
will save a great deal of trouble.
Ordinary tea marks on china may be
readily dissolved by scrubbing with a
soft brush dipped in salt water and
vinegar.
If new tinware is rubbed over with
fresh lard and thoroughly heated in
the over before it is used, it will never
rust afterward, no matter how much 1t
is put in water.
A good way to clean zinc utensils is
to dip a piece of cotton in kerosene and
rub the articles with it until the dirt is
removed. Dry afterward with a clean
cloth so as to get rid Of all grease.
For stained tinware borax produces
the best results. If the teapot or cof-
feepot is discolored on the inside, boil
1t In a strong solution of borax for a
short time, and all its brightness will
return.
Pans and kettles partly filled with
water should not be placed on the
range to soak, as it only makes them
harder to clean. They should be filled
with cold water and be kept away
from the heat.

A RIchiSfrfke.

While W. G. Williams was running
a tunnel to strike a ledge on which he
had been working he struck a lead
which he thinks is between 80 and 40
feet wide and says it will go $35 a ton,
says the Wadsworth Dispatch, speak
ing of Olinghouse District. The ore
is very similar to other ore found on
Cabin No. l. He certainly has plenty
of money in sight in his mine. He is
now hauling ore to his mill and the
best authorities in the camp claim he
has enough ore in sight to keep the
mill running five years.

Fhe Etiquette They Were Taught In
the Eighteenth Century.
The polite academy" does not con-
fine itself to purely ethical considera-
lions. The minutest directions are
given as to polite behavior under all
sorts Of circumstances:
Take salt with a saltspoon or else
with a clean knife, not with that you
are eating with, for that will foul the
rest.
do not laugh at table, much less
sneeze, cough or yawn; but II you can
not avoid it hold up the napkin or Ia
blecloth before your face and turn
aside from the table.
when you drink, bow to some n
Of the company and say sir or madam.
Never regard what another has on
his plate. 1t looks as II you wanted it.
'Tf you have occasion to laugh, turn
from the company.
Always look pleased, but not merry
unless there is occasion"
Now as to the department of a young
master:
Let your feet be placed at a small
distance from one another, not too close
nor too wide in spreading.
Put one hand easy and free into the
bosom of your waistcoat and the other
under the flap of it.
"Do not button more than the three
lowest buttons Of your waistcoat that
your hand may not be raised too high.
"Do not thrust your hand into your
breeches as vulgar boys do, but let 1t
fall with ease under the flap of your
waistcoat."
To lace this page there is a beautiful
copper cut" of a young master in the
easy and elegant attitude recommend
ed, and truly there is a great deal OF
sweetness in his looks"

The Bachelor.

Behold the bachelorl His hair
That once was brown is gray.
No laughing loved ones claim his care
Nor charm his woes away.
He has himself alone to please;
No others fingers search
The pockets in his clothes, and he's
Meier dragged away to church.
All. poor old mani" I hear you say.
Somewhere the grass grows DER
Some one to whom his heart today
Turns sadly as Of yore.
He merely fingers here as one
Who is a transient guest.
His joys are fed; his work Is done;
He longs to be at rest.
He longs to bid the world adieu,
To cross the river where
He is to meet the loved one who
Is waiting for him there"
All, WE'LL Perhaps tits so;
He may nave loved and lost;
His breast may be the haunt Of woe,
His soul be tempest tossed;
But. though bis heart is buried deep
Below some slanting stone
Where some one long has lain asleep,
II he could be alone
For Just about an hour or two
With Just the one, I'll bet
He'd fire up and learn to do
some fancy stepping yet.

SURE Ca FOx COYOTES.

Tulare Register: B. q. Blackenship
and his father, William Blackenship
have been able to swap chickens for
coyotes right along lately, having got
ten ten coyotes within the past month,
and this is how they do it. They take
a chicken and. with a pair Of scissors,
clip the feathers off its back, then
pour on honey, work it we'll down into
the feathers, afterwards working
.strychnine we'll into the honey. Then
stake the chicken out near a wolf run
way, where they trot along to go for
water. Any close observer can learn
their road to and from water and
picket the chicken out so it cannot get
away. BY and bye a coyote will come
along and will pounce onto that
chicken and eat it up not stopping at
the honey and feathers. The strych-
nine will do the rest. Bv this sort OF
exchange they have been able to get a
coyote at the cost of a chicken and
that is better than giving many chick
ems and getting no coyote. II all the
farmers will adopt this plan the coy
otes will soon be thinned out. 1t is
q little hard on the chicken, but it is
better that one chicken should suffer
than that the whole poultry yard
should be cleaned out. Tell your
n~eighbors about this. 1t has stood the
test OF experience.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Life Saved by Railroad Mer


An object of attention in the New Ha-
ven terminal station Saturday evening
was a poor man of middle age, who
gave the name of James Gorham, and
WHO said he was a paper maker from
Holyoke. Mass. Gorham has been
working in Jersey City, and learning
that one of his children in Holyoke had
ben taken severely ill, he started on
the first train for that city. When he
arrived here Saturday afternoon the
man had lost his money. There is a
suspicion that he had been drinking.
But hungry and penniless as he was
he determined to continue his journey,
and shortly after dark he laid hold of
a loaded coal car which was being made
up in train that was bound for West
field up the Northampton road. While
hanging on the car he became chilled,
he says, and when at the Brewery
street crossing one section of the train
was rammed heavily into another to
couple it together, he was jostled from
his position and fell heavily between
the cars.
He was rescued from his peril by Har-
ris Mcfarland and James Kelsoe, two
boatmen.

Iain's post was vacant and the eonVicts
were asked what local clergyman they
would prefer to fill the position. Mrs.

wyoming has been the home of many
bad men" since its earliest days, as
the roll at the State penitentiary pears
evidence. Some of the most famous OF
western characters are serving hle
sentences at Laramie for many muir
ders, and in consequence Mrs. Slosson
charges form about the toughest class
that one could pick out. There are
cowboys and sheep-herders who have
not known a hunaniZing influence
since boyhood, and whose life training
has been of the toughest and widest.

Such men cannot be reached through
channels of argument, nor by ordinary
individuals. They would laugh the or
binary prison chaplain to scorn in spite
of penitentiary discipline if he dared
talk of right thinking and right living.
Yet Mrs. Slosson finds the finer sensi-
bilities that lie buried so deep in the
natures of these bad men" of frontier
days. She has organized reading class
es, and the convict choir is the pride of
the penitentiary. The men white out
little nick-nacks for their chaplain,
and fall in readily with her sugges-
lions. They have long, earnest talks
with her, of their own accord, and
what they tell only the little lady
knows. E. i
When a convict has served his term
and is stared out into the world to be-
gin where he left off or to make an
entirely new score, the first person he
calls on is the chaplain. He gets few
words of hearty good will and a hand
shake, and whether he. succeeds or fails
he never neglects to communicate with
the chaplain at least once before he
drops out of sight in the world.
The wyoming prison authorities are
never tired of singing the praises Of
their chaplain and the good work she
does. Their chief regret Is that the
coming removal OF the penitentiary
from Laramie to Rawlins will necessi-
tate Mrs. Slosson's resignation. Prob
ably some other woman will be selected
to fill her place, now that the way has
been blazed and such a field of useful
ness opened. Other States are consid-
ering the appointment of women to
similar positions. Certainly it will mean
the general betterment Of penal con-
ditions if the record of Wyoming's
prison chaplain is equalled. Chicago

A WOMAN CHAPLAIN.
THE STRONG INFLUENCE OF
MRS. SLOSSON
Over she convicts in wyoming PenI-
GenGiaTy.

IenGiary.
Probably the strangest position filled
by any woman in the United States is
that occupied by Mrs. Mary Preston
Slosson, chaplain of the Wyoming peni-
tertiary. For two years Mrs. Slosson
has had charge of the moral and spir-
ituaI welfare of Wyomings convicts.
She has endeared herself to nearly 200
convicts, some of whom are notorious
western desperadoes with many muir
ders on their heads, End such an effect
has this woman exerted over the men
since her appointment that breaches or
discipline have decreased nearly so per
cent. In a monograph sent to the In
ternationaI Congress of Prison Superin-
tendents at Brussels in 1900 Warden
Mcdonald declared that Mrs. Slosson's
appointment as chaplain was the best
move toward lettering the condition of
Wyoming convicts that had ever been
made. The chaplain seems to inspire
the prisoners to their best behavior,
and the toughest of them express re-

The convicts sit on rough pine benches,
and the chaplain's desk is of boards.
A convict choir sings hymns, and now
and then prisoner joins in, but for
the most part the men sit with folded
arms waiting for the chaplain to begin
her Sunday afternoon talk. Sometimes
the chaplain takes a text from one of
the lessons she has read, but oftenr her
theme is some little incident in life
with which all her hearers are ia
mliar. The hard, impressive. faces
melt into softened lines as the speaker
proceeds, and occasionally a prisoner

awakened.

other time is important to know about.

fever" says a lady in Manila, Ia,
land it left me SO weak I could scarce
ly turn in bed. I was very nervous,
the least noise annoyed me, and I
could hardly eat anything.

food thinking maybe I would like
that. and I did. I commenced gaining
strength, and am now able to walk
around out Of DOORS having gained
over twenty pounds, and Grape Nuts
did 1t.
My little brother used to be thin and
pale. Although he seemed to eat
enough food, what he did eat did him
no good. He was put on Grape Nuts
