The Care of Furniture,
From Harper's Bazaar.

Hfoih b8Zar.
The care of furniture woods Is an ex.
ceedingly interesting part of the intelligent
housekeeper's duties. The daily light dust
ing must supplement the weekly rubbing IL
the bloom" in this instance not desirable,
Is to be kept away. AS a rule. the use Of
oily restoratives is to be deprecated. Unless
applied by a tireess arm and thoroughly
rubbed In. and thereafter the piece of fur.
niture kept in perfect polish by daily rub.
bing. the oil Is sure to form a crust sooner
or later, which is gummy to the touch and
not pleasing to the eye. For this reason
new furniture should be kept as long as
possible without the application of such
restoratives. Furniture which has been fin
1shed with shellac or varnish, whether in
glossy or dull finish. should never be cleans
ed with soap or water. Soap is made to
cut oily substances, and in the performance
of the service for which it is made eats
the oil out of the waXed, oiled or shellack-
ed surface it touches, and destroys it.
Where white spots appear on polished sur
faces from the dropping of liquids or from
heat, the immediate application of raw
linseed oil will generally restore the color.
The oil should be left on the affected spot
for several hours or over night Alcohol
will perform the service if applied at once
to rosewood or highly finished mahogany.
In each instance, when the color has re-
turned, the spot should be repolished with
piece Of cheese-cloth moistened with tur-
pentine.

Circumstantial Evidence.

From the London Chronicle
The question whether men should be exc
cuted on purely circumstantial evidence is
raised once more by the case of the brothers
Kenniff in Queensland. They have been
sentenced to death by Chief Justice Sir Sam
uel Griffith, but the sentence cannot be car
ried out for some time. as the chief justice
reserved certain points raised by their coun-
sci for the review and decision of the full
committed was singularly atrocious, the
bodies of their two victims being burnt to
ashes. The points as to the identification
of these remains and the absence of evil
dence directly connecting the accused with
the murders are to be argued before the full
court. 1t will be remembered that the Ken
niffs took to the bush. and succeeded for
some months in eluding large force OF
Their capture cost the Queensland govern
ment some $4,000.

Women Bell Ringers.
From Tit-Bits.

st. Andrews Church at Bradfield, Berk-
shire. is the only, church ip England where
the bells are rung by women instead OF
men. The reason why women have been
engaged for this task is very simple. About
eighteen months ago there was great
dearth of men and boys in the district. ow-
ing to the scarcity of labor and the vicar,
being unable to obtain the requisite number
of men to ring the bells, asked the ladies'
of the congregation to, undertake the duty.
The appeal was instantly and heartily re-
sponded to. and six young women have
rung the bells Of this pretty little church
regularly and punctually for nearly elgh-
teen months. 1t Is certainly heavy and try
ing, but the fair bell ringers have become
quite enthusiastic In the work apd do it
excellently.

FIounces are growing in business and
Importance day by day, especially where
evening exigencies are concerned. A charm

flounces, each one whereof was stitched
with narrow ribbon and lace. The bebe

Appendicitis Insurance.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mall
1t Is an old axiom that everything can be
insured at Lloyd's. Last spring that IA
nous room made a large amount by insur-
ing against smallpox at the low rate Of half
crown per cent. Now the prevalence Of
appendicitis has suggested to one Of the
most prominent firms in Lloyd's that the
public might like to insure against it.
For premium of 5s the assured, II he
has to undergo an operation for appendi-
citis, will have have his direct expenses
paid up to 600. and in the event of his
death under or from the operation q total
sum Of 600 will be paid.
Though the idea has only been mooted
this week, large number Of people have
already awaited themselves of this insur-
ance. The premium, 1t will be noted is the
same percentage as was charged for SMALL
poX. Age does not stale the infinite vari-
ETY. of Lloyd's.
A Penalty of Riches.
From the Boston Herald.
One curse of riches which, 1t Is said, has
come to quite a large number of Americans
who have during the past few years made
considerable fortunes is indigestion, due to
what may be termed too good living. The
sudden transition from simple life. where
hard work was required early and late, to
life of luxury with but little hard work,
mas proved a cndNSe 100 great 10 De nealth-
fully made. 1t is change which has come
to many who have not during their pre-
vious life had to take into account that
where physical exercise does not come with
a mans daily pursuits some means of OBJ
tanning it through out-of-door sports of Q
greater or less athletic character is essen
tial If good health is to be maintained.
To eat and drink, possibly to excess, to
live luXuriously-that Is, to satisfy all ones
desires without material physical exertion-
is almost certain to be physically demoral-
iZing, and the number of those not beyond
the middle period Of life who have in the
last few years acquired great wealth, who
are now under medical treatment, not SO
much for nervous ailments as for what
may be termed an excess Of luxury, is said
to be exceedingly large.
There is, perhaps. this compensation in
life, that the man Of moderate means, who
is compelled by the necessity of the case to
live in a reasonably simple manner is moro
, likely to enjoy better health while he lives
and continue on to a good old age than Is
the man who does not have to place the
least restriction upon his expenditures and
who cannot withstand the temptation to
consume all of the dainties procurable by
money.

John Fallon, district 1; Edward Ca
hill, district II; Patrick Smith. dis
trict Z; James D. Wood. district %.
The resolutions committee began
reading the resolutions submitted by
the different locals. Most of these
resolutions first demanded in
creases ranging from Is to 25 per cent
for the run Of mine basis; for weigh
ing coal on the miners car; for
smaller differentials and for advance
in the wages of the inside and outside
common labor.
TO buy $4,000 residence in Indiana

the president of the association was
not concurred in by the committee.
A resolution from one of the Penn
sylvania anthracite districts asking
that all districts petition the legisla-
lures of their respective states to
cause one per cent of all coal sales to
be set aside as a permanent benefit
fund for the miners who are crippled,
injured or permanently incapacitated
in mine casualties was not concurred
in. A resolution to establish a min
ers' paper printed in the Polish Ian
guage brought forth long discussion
and on the advice of President Mitch
ell, the matter was referred to the
executive committee.
The Mine Workers. national wage
committee, of which W. H. Haskins
of Ohio Is chairman, and Patrick Do
Ian Of Pittsburg and Patrick Gilday
of Morrisdale, Pa. are members, has
got down to business and Is receiving
the reports from all Of the districts
and the recommendations regarding
the demand to be made for an advance
in wages. Patrick Dolan said: 1T
seems that the Ohio miners are de-
manding that we ask for 25 per cent
increase. The miners of Indiana. IL
linois, western Pennsylvania and cen
trail Pennsylvania are talking about
asking for an advance of Is to 20 per
cent. It seems that we go into con-
ference with the limits of discussion
set-15 per cent as a minimum and
25 per cent as a maximum-but what
our recommendation to the conven-
ton will be. Of course, no one can
tell"
