CARE OF THE WET UMBRELLA.
Uncle Hiram Tells His Grandne pheW
What His Own Grandfather
Told Him.

ssMy grandfather told me about it J"
said Uncle Hiram, according to the
New York Sun, .ebut now my grand
nephew asks me why we stand wet
umbrella to drip not tip but handle
downward
Il told my granddaughter that the
reason for standing a wet umbrella on
its handle rather than on its tip is
that if it were stood its tip more
the sides would, instead of running
of, settle in the folds of the cloth
around where the bows are Joined to
the stick and water-soak that part OF
the cloth which would remain wet or
damp longer than the rest, and so have
a tendency to rot and break
Il have seen many umbrella with
ragged-edge little hole around the
stick at the top that had been caused
by the cloth decaying there from this
cause; but you don't see so many OF
these nowadays you used to for the
simple reason that people are more in
teiligent nowadays about the care OF
umbrellas, they are about all things
else
tsStill, there's my grandnephew, a
bright youngster, certainly. and he
din't know, and there must be others;
and for their benfit Uncle Hiram says

EXPLOSIVE CASKS.
Those That Have Once Been Filled
with Nitro=1ycerin Are
Nuisance.

cone of the most puzzling of many
difficult problems that confront our
trade is how to get rid of the empty
casks that have contained nitro
g1ycerin,'~ said manufacturer of
explosives. 1.-The wood of the casks
becomes so saturated with nitro
g1ycerin that in explosiyeness it
equals the nitrog1ycerin itself.
"'It does not pay, nor is it safe, to
refill the casks. To burn them is out
of the question. If left around they
are a constant menace, for while all
men are prone to show their respect
for a dangerous explosive, there are
few that think any harm can come
of kick at empty barrel There
is nothing to do but to explode the
casks.
'sThis is generally done by placing
them on open ground and firing a
rifle bullet at them from a safe dis
tance. The concussion produced by
the bullet is more than enough to
bring about an explosion. And there
is one good thing about those casks
when they go off-there are no frag-
ments to pick up, as they are COM

BLOODY FIGHT OF EAGLES.
A Royal Pair in the. New York Zoe
Engage i'm n Fierce
Conflict.

At the il Central park, New
York there was a fierce and bloody
fight the other day The outcome, it
is feared, may prove fatal to the male
eagle, who provoked the battle. No
one knows just how it started. but it
may have been scurrilous remark

FASHIONS IN WORDS.
<sLady,. and ssParfy,, Are Now Comfna

word that is gradually coming into
its own again after period of neglect
is ''lady.'' After having been over
worked until it lost its significance, the
word was suddenly subdued and ex-
PEELED from all polite, if not educated

Now there is tendency to receive
''lady'' back into the modisn voca bu-
larry. The word is occasionally heard
in the talk of persons who f1atter them
selves that they speak the latest New
Yorkese. But it must be uttered with
a slight empha sis in order to show hat
the word has just been taken up, says
the New York Sun.
party has after a term of banish-
ment been restored to high favor in
drawing-rOom conversation. Only a
few years ago the word was as much
scorned lady" in circles that were
supposed to be critical in details of
such Importance. 1t was never heard.
But now party is among the over
worked words of the fashiona BILE vo-
cabu1ary and is added to every term
of description.
Thus one hears of musical parties -
''dancing parties,'' and so on through
out the whole category.

Commissioner Jones has issued an
order requiring that male Indians
shall cut their hair and cease using
paint on their faces. Congressman
Curtis points out the error in trying
to force the Indian to change his life
long habits. He says: ssMr- Jones
has been most progressive in his
work, but 1 do not believe that he has
adopted the right method of Undue
ing the Indians to cease painting and
to have their hair cut. You can do
almost anything with an Indian by
using tact You can accomplish very
little by force. The Indian admires
n uniform, and is proud of authority.
IF the government would present a
uniform, with a little stripe down the
leg of the pants, and few brass but
tons on the coats, and tell every Indi-
an that he is special policeman,
charged with keeping good order in
his neighborhood, the question of
dress would be quickly settled. Eve
ry male Indian would readily agree.
Mr.. Curtis might have added that
there are white men who would make
better citizens if they could parade IN
brief authority in bIne clothing and
brass buttons and striped pants.

Our darling, thou has left us
Hast gone to that fairer CLINE;
Where thy little soul may ever rest
Amidst the purest and suhlime;
Where thy little eyes shall dwell
Upon the scenes that ne'er grow dim.
And thy little voice shall join the choir
That are singing praise to Him
Where thy little hands may pluck flowers
That grow around his throne;
And thy little feet shall walk the streets
OF that celestia! home;
Where thy little ears shall h ear the sounds
That ever seem more dear;
And thy sweet life ne'er b. corrupt
By worldly doubt and fear
Tho our eyes are sad with weeping
Ger the loss of thee;
Why thou eouldst not remain with US
Is not for to
Yet we feel it is the will of Him
On W hos bosom thou dost rest
Who, in his infinite wisdom.
Knoweth all things best
Although thy stay with u was brief;
Yet in that short time
Thy little hands around our heart strings
Thou didst lovingly entwine;
Now we know that tn ave been waited
To that better home
For in our dreams those hands
Reckoning for US to come
And we find there is consolation
In the promises that given
That all who chose to follow Him,
May find a home in Heaven.
And we know that we shall see thee
When we called from earthly strife.
For we feel this hard unf1nching world
Is but the stepping stone to life
And the poet, kind and thoughtful,
In that lovely sacred song,
Has given us reason, perhaps,
Why thy hast gone
Little children, little children,
Who love their Redeemer.
Are the jewels, precious jewels.
His loved ones and his own
Like the stars of the morning,
His bright crown adjoining:
They shall shine in their bea uty,
Bright gems of his crown"
Then thou shall be a lovely gem.
That in His crown He'll wear
A gem that's uneorroded
By worldly sin and care
We have lain thee in ''God's acre.
And thy new made grave tonight.
He is covering with a ma ntle.
Soft and pure and white:
nd by thy side forms shall lie,
How soon cannot tell.
But till meet in the bright beyond
