As aIarIs Twain saw II.

When Mark Twain was city editor of
the Virginia City Enterprise, back in
the seventies, he used to brighten up
the columns of the paper with comic
paragraphs setting forth the advan-
tages Of advertising. These para
graphs were based on oil kinds of odd
facts-on murders, on crop reports, on
kidnapping, on the weather. One para
graph ran like this:
Germany has Just discovered q
buried forest in her midst, supposed to
be 10000 years old. If the man who
lost 1t had advertised in the Enterprise.
the chances are that 1t would have
been returned to him that night"

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
Its Capacity to Receive the Impress

Authorities differ as to the capacity
OF the average brain to receive the i'm.

the center of perception. We of course
know nothing as to the nature of the
relation of brain cells to precepts and

there must be relation. The re-
searches of Hammerherg and Thomson
show that the number of cells In the
brain Is ,200,OO0,OO0. All stimuli ex-
ternal Through the five senses) or In
ternal Through processes), must leave
some trace upon these cells, chemical,
physical or dynamic. These stimuli
are composed of all sorts Of precepts-

words seen: objects felt, tasted, smell

bodies; thoughts pushing upward into
consciousness. And little reflection

How Emperor William Is Battling
Against a Dangerous Heredity.

Emperor Williams father died of cancer
of the throat.
Emperor William himself had infantile
paralysis, and has had to struggle with
many infrmities.
1t has been whispered that he himself
is troubled with the same malady which
carried off his father. Royal blood is un.
fortunately most generally deteriorated
blood. Emperor William knows this as
well as anybody, and is doing his best to
eradicate the bad blood from himself and
his family by the adoption of simple life
principles.
Through the visit of countryman of
his to Battle Creek, Michigan. while in
this country, visiting the Worlds Fair in
Chicago in 1893, Emperor William became
acquainted with the Battle Creek idea OF
simple living and has to- a large extent
adopted the methods in his family. His
wife and children live the simple life and
take Battle Creek light baths. Theii
uncle, King Edward, also has these baths
installed in his Windsor and Buckingham
Palaces for the use of himself and Queer
Alexandra.

No Sex In Initials.

There is bad trick in business let
ter writing to which men AZ well as
women are addicted" said business
man. Il mean the way people have Of
signing merely initials and leaving you
without a clew as to their sex, conse-
quently without q correct form In
which to reply to their communica-
ton and without properly complete
notion of their identity.
For example, have been for three
weeks in desultory correspondence
with a client who signed s. T. Snits,'
we will say. The handwriting was
somewhat feminine. and had my Sec
retary address the answers to Mrs.
s. T. Snits.' We received correction
this morning from Samuel T. Snits,
and discovered that our correspondent
Is a man.

signing merely initials. and several

GAS USED UNDER LIME KILNs.
Innovation by Connecticut Company
10 q Success.

The New England Lime company,
of Winstead, Conn, asserts that 1t Is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method Is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow
ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the
discovery of gas as a substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con-
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability OF gas
have been demonstrated beyond a
doubt Had 1t been impossible to find
substitute for wood, said member
Of the company. 1t would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
mo clinkers and no cinders-and the
lime produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro-
duces more intense heat, and conse-
quently Increases the capacity OF the
kilns. The daily output at the COM
pany's kilns is increased from 80 bar
rels per kiln to 100 barrels, or q total
Of 700 barrels daily.

TAKE OUT STAINS.
THOSE MADE BY FRUIT JUICE
MAY BE EASILY REMOVED.
Use Boiling Water for the Slight One
And Acids for the Bad Ones,
Ones, But Great Preeau-
tIon ls Needed.

With the frequent service of fruits,
the table linen Is apt to suffer. Be.
fore sending to the laundry the table.
cloths and napkins should be exam
ined carefully and the spots removed,
as soap sets the stains. Most fruit
stains, taken In season, can be re-
moved easily from linen by putting
the stained portion over a bowl and
pouring q stream of boiling hot water
through It. When the spots are oh.
stinate. however, acids must be used.
This part OF the work always should
be done under the supervision OF the
mistress, to see that all needful pre-
cautions are taken to prevent de-
stroying the fabric itself.
Oxalic acid, allowing three ounces Of
the crystals to one pint of water, will
be found useful to be kept on hand
for this especial purpose. Wet the
stain with the solution and hold over
hot water or In the sun. The instant
the spot disappears rinse well. Wet
the stain with ammonia, then rinse
again. This many times will save
linen.
Javelle water Is excellent for white
goods and may be made at home or
purchased at the druggists. A good
rule for making 1t calls for four
pounds of washing soda, dissolved in
four quarts of soft water. Boil ten
minutes, take from the fire and add
one pound Of chloride of lime. Cool
quickly, bottle and keep tightly
corked. This is strong, and must be
handled with extreme care.
Peach stains are the hardest of all
fruit stains to remove, but weak
solution of chloride of lime with in
finite patience in it's application, fre-
Quently will effect the desired result.

for within that province Is the River
Saguenay, running through the Lau

It Is now believed that this river
was formed by a cleft In the Lauren

gigantic earthquake. It certainly
must have been all that could be de.
sired in the way Of earthquakes. for
the Saguenay River Is so deep that In
many places 1t Is impossible to find

EXCELLENT STUFFED HAM.
Simple Directions for Cooking This
Appetizlng and Palatable Dish.

What to Eat gives directions for .
stuffed ham. which ought to be verf
good. For buffet supper 1t would be
especially attractive. A medium-sized
sugar-cured ham Is boiled In the usual
manner. When done, either slash
with a knife, making long, slanting
slashes, or puncture to the bone with
the carving steel. Prepare a stuffing
of bread crumbs seasoned with pre-
pared mustard until the crumbs are
quite yellow. Moisten with the water
in which the ham was boiled. Mix
with the dressing one onion chopped
fine, few sprays of parsley. minced,
and plenty Of pepper, black or red.
Press this dressing In the slashes or
punctures, and glaze the ham over
with white of egg. Take q large
handful of crumbs, some as large as
q grain Of corn, and others larger;
spread these over the top of the ham
and moisten them with cream. Place
in the oven long enough for the
crumbs to brown. which will be long
enough also to let the stufiing get hot.
Garnish the dish with parsley or fine
punches OF watercress.
