AROUND THE HOUSE.

If marks and stains are on papcred
walls, try French chalk on piece Of
dry bread gently rubbed in.
To keep hardwood floors smooth and
clean rub them with waste and warm
paraffin oil and polish with dry waste.
Muslin curtains may be rendered less
infiammable by rinsing them in alum
water-two ounces of alum to one gal
lon of water.
To clean mirrors dip a cloth in methy-
lated spirits and rub on the mirror.
Allow it to dry on before polishing with
Il soft duSter.
Galvanized iron pals for drinking
water should not be used. The zinc
coating is rapidly acted upon by the
water, forming n poisonous oxide of
zinc.
Make a splendid furniture polish by
taking a wineglassful of olive oil, one
of vinegar and two tablespoonfuls of
alcohol; apply with Il soft cloth and
polish with flannel.
Rugs, mats or carpets can be cleaned
thoroughly by generously sprinkling on
them yellow cornmeal that has been
we'll dampened in clean soapsuds or
weak ammonia water. Sweep off in a
few minutes.

SOME WRITER'S.

Goldsmith wrote the "Vicar of Wake.
field" in six weeks. 1t is said to have
been story of his own recollections.
Thomas Dunn English wrote "Ben
Bolt'' in 1913, and some fifty years later
George Du Maurier made the tender
song famous the world over.
1t has been mentioned as a proof of
Alexander Popes love of economy that
he wrote most of his verses on scraps
of paper and particularly on the backs
of letters.
Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre" was
rejected by nearly every publisher in
England before it scored one of the
greatest literary successes in the
worlds history.
Whittier, the poet, it is reported, said
to the doctors in attendance a day or
two before his death, You have done
the best possible, and thank you; but
it is of no use-I am worn out"
The poet Heine on the day after his
marriage drew up will in which he
bequeathed all he possessed to his wife
on condition that she married again.
He desired, he said, that at least one
man should regret his death.

A PLEASING FRENCH TRAIT.
Love Between Brothers n Strongly
Marked Characteristic.

Love Between Brothers a strongly
Marked characteristics.
One of the ways in which the close
union OF French family life shows it
self is the great affection of brothers
for each other. There is an intimacy
between them in good and evil fortune
which one does not find in other coun-
tries. A brother who takes a high po-
sition by his talents loses no opportuni-
ty to forward the interests of one Of
lesser ability or of no ability. He never
treats the latter as a drag on him, and
perhaps scarcely feels that he is one.
Married brothers often like to live in
the same house, on different floors, and
to hire summer villas in close prox-
Unity.
Most of the famous Frenchmen
whom l knew had each a brother to
Charles Blanc, though so dissimilar in
appearance, tastes, disposition, and
married to women who disliked each
other, were, morally speaking, Siamese
twins until death severed the bond.
The same might be said of the GARNER
Pages, of Jules Favre and his brother
Leon, of Ernest and Arthur Picard, of
Puech, the sculptor, and his brother
the deputy. Paul and Hippolyte Flau-
drin, the painters. were known in their
student days as the Siamese twins. 1t
not infrequently happens that broth
ers so into literary partnership. In
stances that occur to me are the Con
courts, the Rosnys, the Marguerittes.
1t would be impossible to discern the
work of one of any of these brothers
from that of another. What is very
curious, each brother, as in the case of
Charles and Louis Blanc, Ernest and
Arthur Picard, Jules and Leon Favre,
differed strikingly in every characteris-
tic from the other. The dissimilarity
of the Marguerittes is so great that one
wonders how brothers could be so I'M
like. Alphonse Daudet was not bit
like his brother Ernest, an accom-
plished novelist also.-London News.

He GOT THE GOODS.
business Deal Between Potter
Palmer and A. II. Stewart

Pnlmer and A. II. Stewart.
"At the time OF the civil war" said
an old merchant. Potter Palmer was
in the dry goods business in Chicago.
and Levi z. Letter and Marshall Field
were working for him. Palmer wasn't
so well known but he had good rep
utation in the trade, and he didn't have
TO introduce himself when he called on
old A. T. Stewart to buy some goods.
After some dickering they agreed upon
the price, and Palmer calmly said that
he would take about 100000 worth.
1t was a little larger bill than Stewart
exactly cared to sell young Palmer on
credit, but he concluded to make the
deal and told him to come in the next
morning and arrange some final de-
tails. That night some big war news
came, and it didn't require any decla-
ration by the government to inform ev-
cry dry goods man in the country that
the price Of goods would take a big
spurt up. Stewart recognized it as soon
as he had the news, and he immediate
ly thought of Palmer. He also thought
of the big bill of goods Palmer had
bought of him. 1t didn't particularly
tickle Stewart, that thought didn't
But it required only n few scratches
Of his red head to fix things to his sat
isfaction. He would simply tell Pal
mer that he was sorry, but that he
didn't feel that he could sell such
big bill on credit and MS he knew that
Palmer couldn't raise the cash imme-
diately, why, that would end it, and
the sale would be off. Well. young
Palmer called early, and Stewart
greeted him in his very abruptest man
ner, telling him how sorry he was. etc,
but really he didn't think it wise bust
ness to extend credit for such an
amount.
"'Just how much does the bill come
to" said young Palmer, seemingly sor.
rowful-like
"'Just S1l0,000,' Stewart replied. and
then he straightway gulped for breath
as young Palmer drew an immense
pocketbool from his inside vest pocket
and, opening it, counted out 110 thou
sand dollar bills and, laying them quiet
ly on Stewards desk, said: If you will
kindly count them and give me re-
ceipt, I'll be obliged, as must take the
next train home. Ship the goods soon
as you can, and when you're out our
way drop il. Always glad to see our

Showed 1t Clearly.

A man who was called on to address
q Sunday school in Pennsylvania
town took the familiar theme Of the
children who Knocked Elijah on his
journey to Bethel-how the youngsters
taunted the poor old prophet, and how
they were punished when the two she
bears came out of the wood and ate
forty-two Of them. "And now, chill
dren," said the speaker, wishing to
learn if his talk had produced any
moral effect. "what does this story
show?'
"Please, sir" came from little girl
well down in front, ''it shows how

The first match was the product of
the ingenuity of John Frederick Kom-
erer, who early in the nineteenth CEN
tury was imprisoned in the peniten-
tiary at Hohenasperg, in Germany. He
invented the lucifer match while in his
gloomy dungeon. The German govern
ment forbade the manufacture of
matches on the ground of public policy,
because some children playing with
them had caused fire. Komerer was
ruined by Viennese competition when
he was released from prison and died
pauper. Up to 1862 the Vienna man
ufacturers controlled the match busi-
ness of the entire world.

MEAT ONCE A DAY.
Theory That Average Fami1y's Food
Is Too Heavy For Health.

Is Too Heavy For Health.
Our mistakes in eating begin with
our breakfast. In many families, per-
haps in most, this meal commences
with fruit and cereal, goes on to chops
and potatoes, hot breads and coffee and
concludes with griddlecakes and sirup.
At noon, when mans stomach Is only
beginning to rest from all this, he has
q steak, more potato, bread. and but
ter, coffee and pie, while at home his
wife has a slice of cold meat, cup of
tea and piece of cake. AT night the
two sit down to dinner, with roast beef,
potatoes and bread and butter as the
staples of the meal.
Now, no one but woodchopper or a
hunter can possibly eat meat-above
all, red meat, such as beef and mutton
three times day without inviting
uric acid to come and take up its dwell
ing in his system. Nor can he eat white
bread, potatoes and pastry day after
day without inviting dyspepsia. One
has only to let doctor trace back
these diseases to their source to be
quite certain on these points.
But If we decide to give up these
things, determine to have meat and po-
tatoes only once Il day and red meat
only once a week; if we taboo pastry,
the starchy vegetables, the white bread
and heavy sweets, what have we left
for the family meals? Nothing" the
distracted housewife will eXclaim de-
spairingly at first thought, but really
the matter is not as difficult as 1t
seems.
In planning the meals on this basis
there is, first of all, chicken, which is
invaluable, for it may be cooked in
dozen different ways and seem a new
dish each time, ard turkey, duck and
goose as well. Then there are the
white meats, lamb and veal; fish in its
multitudinous forms; there are game in
its season, vegetables and fruits, with
numberless varieties of soups, and the
simple sweets, which are made prin-
cipally from milk and cream, and all
forms of breads.-Harper's Bazar.

Bells.

1t was long fixed idea that silver
mixed with the bell metal improved
the tone, but this Is now considered in
correct The Acton Nightingale and
Silver Bell, two singularly sweet bells
at st. Johns college, Cambridge, are
said to have mixture of silver, but
If true this is not believed by compe-
tent authorities to be the cause of their
beautiful tone. This idea led to the
story of the monk Tandio concealing
the silver given him by Charlemagne
and casting the bell in the monastery
Of st. Paul of inferior metal, where
upon he was struck by the clapper and
killed. In the ninth century bells were
made in France of iron. They have
been cast in steel, and the tone has
been found nearly equal in tineness to
that of the bell metal, but, having less
vibration, was deficient in length, and
thick glass bells have been made which
give beautiful sound, but are too brit
tie to long withstand the strokes of the
clapper.- .-Gentleman's Magazine.

prominent business men engaged in a

wager and offered to prove that it could

Both local physicians expressed the

done placed himself on his back on a

Death Of Peculiar Patient at Cedar
Rapids Hospital.

Cedar Rapids. Od. ia man named
Jacob Raeiss died Sunday morning at
Mercy hospital, about whom little Is
known and who had been in the city for
a couple Of weeks. He was a laborer
and for some time previous, as far as
can be learned, he worked with one Of
the construction gangs In the western
part Of the state, on the Milwaukee
road. On Sept. 20 he appeared In Cedar
Rapids and stopped at the Cedar Rapids
House. where he secured board and
lodging for week, but at the end OF
that week he retained his room and got
his meals elsewhere. He was a Ger
man and dressed neatly for laborer.
He was Of medium height. dark COM
plexioned, and from all appearances
from those who saw him about the
boarding house. he was rather intelli-
gent and genial sort Of character 1t is
stated that he was hard drinker and
that when he was taken sick he refused
the OFFER Of the boarding house proprie-
tor to send for a doctor for him. he
would eat nothing and his condition be-
came worse. Finally the boarding house
proprietor insisted on calling in ply
sician, but the sick man declared that
he would not have doctor and that II
one was called the proprietor himself
would have to pay for his coming. On
Saturday physician was summoned
and after observing the condition OF the
man he concluded that he would not
live out the Gay. The patient.was taken
to Mercy hospital and he fingered along
until SUNDAY morning, when he died.
Raeiss paid his bills at the boarding
house and at the places he frequented
for LIQUOR and had small amount of
money In his effects. Where he came
from. whether he has any relatives, why
ne ceased to board and live in the man
ner he did is unknown.
