HANNA HOMESTEAD -

CLEVELAND. Dec. A-The historic
Hanna homestead in Lake avenue. in
which more political plots have been
coucocted than IN probably any other
house in the United States, is being
sought for by syndicate that pur-
poses TO transform 1t into fine sum

of buying the property for $4,000. The
fact that the property is on the market

THE WIFE WHO MAKES A SCENE.

would certainly look for it more care
fully before committing themselves.
The trouble with most men is that they
make too many allowances for the diff
ferences between men and IN
They think because a girl can't under
stand it is because she is a woman. 1t
is not. 1t is because she is the wrong
woman. There is a right kind of WON
an for every man, and she will have
the same tastes as he has; she will
laugh at the same things and cry at the
same things.
That is being a real chum, and it is
the married chums who lead happy
lives.
Most women have no idea of the
meaning of being chums. A husband
tries to tell his wife things, and he
gives up in despair because he thinks
that. being a woman, she can't under
stand (Which is a libel on womanhood),
or she makes a scene when things
don't go her way instead of stating her
objections quietly and giving him good
advice.
The papers are full of lovelorn wives
asking for advice, and the advice IS
very simple. 1t is the same for all:
BE his chum; be sunny and cheerful;
forget your p%etticoats occasionally and
your narrow prejudices; be a friend to
him as his men friends are; share his
trouble and, above all, his point of
view; like the things he likes and take
pleasure in the things which amuse
him, and 1 am almost willing to wager
everything 1 have that he will like your
things and think everything you do is
just about right in the end.

GUIDING THE BUTTERFLIES.

Hold it over heat until it is thoroughly
warm, but be careful not to scorch it.
Then lay it down on the table and rub
it vigorously with the palm of your
hand (see that your hand is thoroughly
dry beforehand), using a rapid back
and forth movement.
When you think you have produced
sufficient friction stop the rubbing, and
hold the sheet of paper horizontally
over the butterflies, nearer and nea
err, until you observe the BUTTERFLIES
rising toward the paper, as they will
do.
After that as long as the electricity
generated by the friction lasts you can
make the butterflies follow the sheet
of paper around and around, this way
and that, for all the world as if they
were living and were tanned butter
flies.
Try it. You may not succeed at first,
but keep at it, and you will be success
full.

The Father of His Countr Was
Quite IN Athlete.
When Washington was commander
in chief of the army on II occasion he
went to the quarters of Colonel limo
thy Pickering, who had a negro sery-
mi named Primus. He found the colo
mel absent, but to Primus' apology re-
piled:
ut does not matter. | am greatly in
need of exercise, and you must help
me to get some before your master re-
turns
Under Washington's direction the ne
gro tied a rope TO Il neighboring tree,
breast high. PrimuS was ordered to
stand at some distance and hold it hor-
~izontally extended. Washington ran
forward and backward for some time,
jumping over the rope as he came and
went until he was satisfied with his
exercise.
He learned fencing when quite young.
His teacher was an old soldier who
had seen service in the Indies. His
stone throwing feats across the Kappa
hammock, over the Palisades and to the
top of the Natural bridge in Virginia
are mentioned by all his biographers,
Charles Peale, the artist, tells us
when he was painting his picture at
Mount Vernon in 1872 he saw him toss

Marvellous strength OF Birds.

Birds can eat and digest from ten to
thirty times as much food in proportion
to their size as men can. If a man
could eat as much in proportion to his
size as a sparrow is able to consume
he would need a whole sheep for din
ner, a couple of dozen chickens for
breakfast and six turkeys for his even
ing meal. A tree sparrow has been
known to eat TOO grass seeds in a day.
Relative to the birds size, these seeds
were as big as an ordinary lunch bas-
ket would be to a full grown man.
