scribed as last solace to the expiring
man a huge plate of sauerkraut. He
watched the sick man devour the del

friends across the sea. To Hans un-

well on the road to recovery. Jerking
forth his notebook, he jotted down:
"R. Sauerkraut will cure Dutchman

other word. he found a Spaniard in a
bad way. Procuring another plate of
sauerkraut. he bade the patient eat it,
and live-but speedily the Spaniard

CARE OF RARE CHINA.
Methods Will Add Life to Treasures
of Housewife.

The washing Of valuable china needs
to be carried out very cautiously and
carefully. A big wooden bowl, Tiled
with warm. not boiling, soapsuds, to
which a few drops of household am
monia have been added, should be pre-
pared and each piece of china washed
separately in this, using a square Of
old flannel for plain dishes, etc, and
a soft brush "a painters brush is best
for deliberately ornamented articles.
Rinse in another wooden bowl OF
clean warm water and dry with linen
cloths. Bronze ornaments may be
washed in the sane way, but should
be finally polished with chamols
leather. Some people consider rub
with rag on which there is the least
suspicion of paraffin gives bronze
nice appearance, but we do not think
it necessary. Glass should be washed
In warm water that has little ammonia
in it, but no soap, and then rinsed IN
quite cold water Cut glass should
be washed with brush, or, II elaD-
orate1y cut and very dirty, it is rath-
er a good plan not to wash it at all,
but brush a paste of whiting and
water well into it, allowing it to dry
on thoroughly, then removing it with
a clean brush, and finally polishing
with an old silk handkerchief.

LITTLE THINGS AND BIG.
Dsfferersiate Between the Essential
and the Non.Essential.

Little things are often Of great i'm
poEance, but when they are SO they
are not little. The pinion of watch
wheel, for example, in one sense is
little, in another sense it is not SO at
all; for when it is not perfectly ad-
justed, the watch is worthless for time
keeping. It is not size that makes a
thing little or great, but its relation to
the end for which a number of things
are combined Il thing Is essential
It y important. Because SO many of
the people who are always preaching
the importance Of little things fail to
discriminate between the little and the
non-essential, they often make a
Wretched mess of the management Of
their own and other peoples affairs.
Theoretically, if every factor that con-
tributes to a result is perfect, the re-
suit will be perfect; but practically,
for want Of time, strength and oppor-
tunity, the efficient man is compelled
TO neglect some things for the sake Of
others; and, in order to do this and
yet secure the main end, he has to
discriminate between the essential and
the non-essential. The one who is
thoroughly imbued with the false doc
trine of the Importance Of little things,
spends his strength without discrim-
nation, and usually succeeds in miss
Ing the main chance.-The Waterman.

KING OF sAFE-BREAKERs.
Marvellous Delieacy Of Hearing Pos
sessed by Miner James.

Miner James was the most artistic
safe-breaker in the business" said
Lecocq the detective. He is dead
now. He opened in his time over TOO
safes without tools or gunpoWder
solely by working out the combination
with his delicate and patient fingers.
It took me a year, he once said,
to learn the trick of picking eombina-
tons. I studied all the locks there
were and I had three safes Of different
makes TO practice on. The ear is the
most important factor In my method
and it must be held tight against the
safe door on a line with the tumblers.
When the knob of the lock is turned
slowly and one of the tumblers reach
es the notch corresponding to the first
number of the combination the tum-
bier will fall with little click. Care
must be taken not to displace this
tumbler. You keep on trying the knob
back and forth gently till each of the
tumblers drops. Then the door opens.
Hardly one man in a thousand has an
ear delicate enough for this work and
to be success at it you've got to give
up tobacco and alcohol"
