BATTERED BUT CHEERFUL.
A Little Negro Patient at a New York Hospital Makes the Doc
 tors Laugh.

Mirth and misery commingle oddly st times to tighten the burden of wretchedness and woe which is the lot of the unfortunates who are inmates of the city's great hospitals. A score Of wanfaced sufferers were distributed among the neat white cots of medical ward in Bellevue one day when a new patient was brought in. He was a diminutive colored man, short, squat, thick <set, black as ebony, with heavy protruding lips and bullet-shaped head sparsely sprinlled with kinky gray black hair. He said he was George Smith, B years old, and was born in "Loudon county. Virginy, sah." All was quiet in the ward save an occasion al groan from some weary sufferer. when the doctors, four of them, grave faced and dignitied, came to examine the new arrival.
 Well. George. how do you feel? 2" asked the house physician, bending over the cot.
 The little darl1y looked at the doctors aslance for a moment, rolled bis big eyes around. and said mournfully:
 'I'se hungry"
 Have you any pain ?" asked the doc tor
 ''No, sah, 'ceptin' I'se hungry"
 Then the doctors proceeded to make the usual examination. Tn the middle of his back they found criss-cross cicatrix.
 How did you get this?" the doctor asked.
 "Cow-bunl1le." replied the patient, tersely.
 "Wha.'s h.s?" continued the inquis- itor, placing his finger on big depres- sion in the calf of the patients leg.
 "Dorg chawed it," said Smith, apa thetically.
 A smile fitted across the faces of the doctors and patient in the next cot forgot to moan. Next the physician found a mass of irregular scars, which looked as If an eight-inch shell had exploded and left it's marks upon tho patients face and neck.
 Explosion ?" queried the doctor, pointing to the spot.
 "Mewl kicked me-" sal Smith with a you-makeme-tired air,
 Even the grave equanlmity of the men of medicine was disturbed, and pa tients in adjacent cots laughed out right. Further examination showed a network of scars on his face and neck resembling the tracks in the New York Central freight yards.
 'Razer fte," was Smiths explana- ton.
 And where did you get these?" said the doctor, with an amused smile, lay ing his fingers on three big welts on the negros scalp.
 "Cakewalk Kin hev a chaw uv ter baker," he went on, and the ward was in an outburst of laughter.-N. Y. Sun.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

One of the greatest conveniences in shelves made like the leaves of an 0ld-fashioned table, which hang flat against che wall when not In use, but are held up by swinging bracket covered with white oilcloth tackled on by brass headed tacks. They are in- valuable when extra cooking and serv- ing have to be done.
 Fine table linens should be frequent. ly changed in order that hard rub ping may not b. necessary in launder- ing them, as frequently the cleaning process is seyerer than actual wear.
 Do you clean the receiver and the mouthpiece Of the telephone every week? IL really is quite as important as stirring up the dust under the tables. especially if several persons use ths phone daily.
 Pumpkins and squashes will gen. eraly keep better in a garret where the temperature is just above freezing than in the cellar, which is apt to be too damp If there is no place but the cellar for storing them, place them on shelves where they will not touch each other and watch closely for the first sign of decay.
 In choosing a color scheme for bed room, give thought to the location thus blue is best adapted for a south room, a west or east room is effective in green lavender or brown, while a north room is frightened by yellow or old rose.-Los Angeles Herald.

MANY STAGE SETTINGS.
Elaborate Preparations for the Fro- ductiOn of New Modern
 Drama.

The preparation for new play, as far as the scenery is concerned, Is most interesting. A complete model in min ature is made about the size of one of the Ger1h..r toy theaters seen in the shops. T-e picture is carefully painted, the ,c -s, if there be any, and the foliage are cut unt, and all the de- tails are followed with To less thought than when the real affair is attacked. The work Is done in water color, mounted on pasteboard, and if the scheme be an interior there are real curtains in miniature, flights of steps, and the hangings, all seriously worked out. It Is something that would de- light the heart of a boy and furnish him with endless amusement. These models are kept until after the piece Is produced and are then put away on shelves, alas! only to warp and be- come covered with dust. But the mas- ter painters work does not end here by any means, for there are lights to be arranged, since they play an tmpor- tant part in the performance, and must be regulated by the scheme of color, so there are long conferences with electricians and many discussions with the makers of glass shades where by the exact tints may be obtained. When every detail has been settled then the great acres of canvas are spread on the paint frames and the drawing is begun. Large china pots are used for the colors. These are filled with paints, which are mixed with water and size, and enormous brushes put the pigment on the can vas. It is wonderful to watch the artist, who dashes on the paint with no apparent care and who has to work last to cover the surface before the color dries, which it does quickly.-N. r. Commercial Advertiser.
