How Lamp Chimneys May BE Put 10

How Lamp Chimneys May Be Put 10
Various Uses.
A chimney taken from lighted lamp
is one of the best and most quickly pre-
pared "hot applications. Simply slip
the hot chimney into an old stocking
and apply to the pain. If steam Is
needed take damp, warm cloth and
wrap around the chimney 1t the heat
is for cough or the Group wrap in
flannel rag smeared with mutton tall
low and turpentine. Applied to the
chest or throat, relief will be had al
most at once.
If your feet are cold at night place
hot chimney to them, and they will
soon be warm, says the Woman's Home
Companion lamp chimney is espe-
ciaIly practicable during hot summer
months, when the fires are out, for you
can light the lamp and thus have hot
application in few minutes. Group,
collie, toothache, earache, coughs, rheu-
matte pains and many other ills flee be-
fore the hot lamp chimney in the
household.
To press short seams without using
an iron light a small kerosene lamp,
regulating the blaze to keep the CHM
ney moderately hot, then dampen the
seam to be pressed. Pass the seam
quickly over the spherical part of the
chimney, and it will be pressed as nice
" as could be done by hot iron. Vel
vet ribbon also NAV be pressed in this
way by dampening it on the linen or
satin side, then rubbing on the chim-

When Frederick built his famous pal
ace of Sans Souci, there happened to be
a mill that greatly hampered him in
the execution of his plans, and he ask
ed the miller for how much he would
sell 1t. The miller replied that for a
long series of years his family had
owned the mill, which had passed from
father to son and that he would not
sell it for any price. The king used
every solicitation, offered to build him
q mill In a better place and pay him
besides any sum he might demand, but
the obstinate miller still persisted In
his determination to preserve the In
heritance Of his ancestors.
Irritated at last by his conduct, the
king sent for him and said in an angry
tone:
"Why do you refuse to sell your mill
Notwithstanding all the advantages !
have offered you?"
The miller repeated his reasons.
"Do you know" continued the king,
''that l could take it without giving
you a pennyY
eyes," returned the miller calmly, 'if
it were not for the chamber of justice
at Berlin"
The king was so fiattered by this an
swer, which showed that he was inca
pable of an act Of injustice, that he
dismissed the miller without further
entreaty and changed the plan Of his
garden.

A Wonderful Dream.

1t was in the days of Philip the Good,
duke of Burgundy, that cobbler
mounted a royal throne. AS the duke
was travelling one night to Bruges he
came upon a man stretched upon the
ground sound asleep, and bade his at
tendants carry him to the palace, strip
off his rags and place him, robed in
fine linen, in his own bed.
When the man awoke next morning
he was addressed as "your highness"
and astounded to find himself among
such rich surroundings. In vain he
protested that he was no prince, but
a poor cobbler; they asked him what
clothing he would wear, and at last
conducted him, spIendidly dressed, to
mass in the ducal chapel. Every cere-
mony was observed throughout the
day, the cobbler appeared in public In
his new role, was received on all sides,
by command of the duke, with deep re
spect, and ended his brief reign in the
palace with a grand supper and ball.
When presently he fell asleep he was
reclothed in his rags and taken to the
spot where he had been found when
this practical joke was conceived.
Waking in due time he returned home
and related to his wife what he took to
be his wonderful dream.

curious to read one Of the letters
through, but Cliffe would never agree
to 1t.
The month was almost ended. Next
to the last day of 1t Cliffe rode with
Anice up Round Top to watch the sun
go down. It was Indian summer
weather, with all the air full of warm
haze and dead ripe autumn scents.
They went slowly, he leaning toward
the girl all up the long slope. At the
top he dismounted and held out his
arms to her, saying little huskily:
"Come! I VIII carry you to the very
tip of the rocks"
Anice felt him tremble as she slipped
into his arms. Her own heart beat
furiously she was beginning to find
out what his presence or his absence
would mean in her life. But she
smiled back at him bravely when at
last they stood hand in hand upon the
craggy pinnacle. The sun sank,
globe Of crimson, filling the whole
world with rosy radiance. In that
transfguring illumination Anice had
the face of an angel, serene, transpar-
ent to inner light. Cliffe laid his hand

Among the negroes the most striking
remedies are to be found. Witness the
combination of cure and spell de-
scribed under the name of 'conJuring
a tooth" in Alabama. Go into lonely
part of the woods with one of the oppo-
site sex, who is to carry an ak. The
bearer of the ak chops around the roots
of white oak, cuts off with a jack
knife nine splinters from the roots Of
the tree, then cuts around the roots of
the aching tooth with the knife, dips
each Of the nine splinters in the blood
flowing from the cuts and finally buries
the splinters at the root Of the tree
from which they came. While doing
this the operator repeats something
you don't understand, which is the
charm.-Kansas City Journal.

Sol smith Russell and the Dog.

Sol Smith Russell was once forced
to accept the hospitality Of family
where table manners were unknown
and coarseness prevailed. The people
were liberal hearted, though, and treat
ed the actor generously.
For every favor received, for each
dish passed or question asked Mr.. Rus
sell responded with a THANK you" or
other grateful acknowledgment.
This constant "Thank you" annoyed
the host and his family. In despera-
ton, they finally asked Mr.. Russell to
omit it..
'Impossiblev' said the actor. Il was
taught to be grateful. A good habit is
as hard to break as bad one"
"Nonsensev' exclaimed the man of
the house, humiliated by the rebuke.
Nothing is impossible"
"very well, then" said the comedian,
using his famous nasal drawl. "You
first prevent your dog from wagging
his tail for food given or kind word
spoken; then 1 will omit my Thank
you
II won't cut my dogs tail off for you
or nobody" said the man as he affec-
tionately patted his dogs head.
"Yes; your dog and belong to the
impossibilities, concluded Mr.. Russell.

Barred Out Immigrants.

Uncle Sam has a black list Of birds
and quadrupeds which it is absolutely
prohibited to introduce into this coun-
try. says the Chattanooga Times. The
mongoose, the flying fox and the star
ling are on the list. The mongoose Is a
species Of ferret, native OF India,
where it is domesticated as a sort Of
animal rat trap and snake destroyer.
1t was introduced into Jamaica to get
rid of the sugar cane rats. These ex-
terminated, however, the mongoose
went on to diet of the insect destroy
ing birds, with the result that the crops
have been devastated by insects in
some sections Of the island. The ami
NAL is exceedingly crafty, nocturnal in
its habits and evades traps with ease.
The flying fox, known also as the fruit
bat, is voracious harvester of fruits
and vegetables. The starting belongs
to the crow family.

Colonel Bill Sterrett used to tell
about man who went into the Indian
Territory to sell baby carriages.
Everybody said he was crazy. It was
admitted that there was fine crop of
babies in the territory, but no one
could see what the squaws, who were
used to packing their offspring on their
backs, could do with baby carriages.
Still orders began to come back, first
for dozens and then for carloads, and
finally Sterrett went up to Investigate.
He went into one of the Indian vii
lagos.
"And I'll be dashed said Colonel
Bill, ''if didn't see dozen big fat In
dams sitting in baby carriages, all
scrouged up, while the squaws were
pushing them around. The baby car
riage man had made the Indians be-
heve that baby carriages were the
right kind of pleasure rigs for the no.

IN BORROWED PLuMAeE.
Well Dressed Women Who Wea
Goods sent ON Approval.

Well Dressed Women Who Wear
Goods Sent ON Approval.
When the ways of some women are
considered, it is less remarkable that
such numbers Of women dwelling In
the large cities dress extravagantly
than before their methods of securing
rich costumes for all occasions have
been scrutinized
There are women, and many of them
very wealthy, who make regular
practice of having elegant garments
sent to their homes on approval, weari
ing them once and then returning them
to stores or costumers. Some women;
will wear dress or a cloak to the
opera and send it back next morning.
Or they will get hat or wrap and go
driving or visiting In 1t. The average,
person would be astonished to know all
the things, from handsome umbrellasl
and fans Of great beauty to jewelry]
and clothes, that some women bor1
row from the shops.
OF course all of these women are not
well off, but they all dress well and
go out great deal, and although the
shopkeepers often discover the manner
In which they are being deceived, they1
do not always like to make fuss, for
fear of losing good customer. Besides
they know that If they incur the enmi-i
ty Of such impostors the women are
quite capable Of abusing their goods
and robbing them of other and more
honest customers. Strange as it may
seem, these women generally mingle in
pretty good society, or the fringes of 1t,
and have some influence in the matter
of dress, since they have won the repu-I
tation of always dressing elegantly and
In the newest things.
This sort of imposition had been car
ried on so often by a customer Of a GER
tain large firm that its members deter
mined to put a stop to her Haunting
about in borrowed plumage, at least
when the plumage belonged to them.
One Saturday this woman had splen-
did wrap sent home on approval, and
on Sunday one Of the head clerks Of
the firm who knew Mrs Blank as the
offender stationed himself near her
pew IN the fashionable church Which
she attended. When she sailed down
the aisle after service, resplendent In
the borrowed cloak, this man stepped
up to her and said:
'How do you do, Mrs. Blank? I am
delighted to see that you like our cloak
well enough to keep it."
OF course after that she could not re-
turn the cloak.
Still, with all the efforts put forward
by shops and costumers to break up
the pernicious habit of forcible borrow
Ing on the part of sundry feminine Gus
toners, the practice goes merrily on,

able reputation for exquisite dressing

We believe that kissing is an English
custom. We read in ancient history Of
a knight who visited the Field of the
Cloth of Gold and who on being invit-
ed to local castle was addressed by
the "kynde ladye' of the establish
ment, who remarked:
''Forasmuch as in England ye have
such a custome as that man may
kysse a woman, therefore will that
ye shall kysse me, and ye shall also
kysse these my maidens.'

rian. I'VE knyghte straightway did and

Under the title OF Don't Nag the
Boys" the New Orleans Times Demo
crat gives the world the following good
advice:
'It is curious thing TO me that we
find so many persons In the world who
are inclined to nag at the boys because
they are lazy or because they are preco-
cious. too fresh maybe. or something OF
the kind" said man who gives much
thought to child study. "A little refiec-
tion, 1t seems to me. would put a different
color on this question--this problem, If
you please-of dealing with the young
men Of the country. Mind you, do not
mean to defend laziness. do not mean
TO defend precocity. Both are very an
noying All lazy boys do not turn out
well. AS much may be said for all pre-
cocious boys. But some of them do. Ex-
Actly here Is the point. You can't tell
what the boy Is going to do. Edison was
. lazy fellow. a dull, sleepy telegraph
operator. He was lazy physically. Mark
the distinction. Mentally he was the most
active thing on the continent. Witness
the discoveries which have originated in
the mind of this dull, sleepy operator, an
that he did not want to be troubled with
answering calls on his line at night and
TO protect him in the full enjoyment of
this physical laziness his active and ener-
getic mind rigged up an automatic ticker
that would do the answering for him, So
he slept In the present ruler of Germany
we find an example Of the preeocious
youth william. according to his biogra-
piers, was a devilish, mischievous sort
Of a fellow and not a little lax in his
studies What is he now? In my judg-
ment, broadly measured, he is the smart
est man in the world. by which mean
he has a broader grasp of general infor-
nation, knows more about more different
things, than almost any other man of his
time These examples bear me out in
the statement that you can't always tell
Just what the boy is going to be. His
iaziness or precocity may be the earlier
expressions of some phenomenal genius
along certain lines, the forerunners Of
great Undertakings and great achieve
ments. Quit nagging at the boys"

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

 Cough Remedy.

sWhen had an attack Of the grip last winter (the second one) actually cnred myself with one bottle of Cham berlain,s Cough Remedy says Frank " Perry, editor of the Enterprise ehortsville. N. Y. This is the honest trnth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking teaspoon f,1l of this remedy and when the cough inr spell would come on at night I wonld take dose, and 1t seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleen nerfectly free from cough and it's ac- companying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agreeable sur prise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip. simply because I had ney- CT tried it for such purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second at- tack of coughing the remedy caused if not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle be- fore Mir Grip had bid me adieu'' For sale by all druggists.
