Brass beds, chandeliers and lac
quered goods may be improved Won
derfully by taking soft rag, put
ting a little sewing machine oil on
1t and then going over the bed or
fixtures. The oil will remove fly
specks and leave Il luster. 1t does
not harm the lacquer. Don't be
afraid to use little elbow grease.
But never use such things as onions,
lemons, benzine, turpentlne, gritty
soap, acids or I've, which will all
remove the lacquer more or less,
producing coat of verdigris if the
article be not cleaned every day or
two after the lacquer is removed.

Don't Be Afraid to LAUGH.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how
to tell story. A well told story
is as welcome as a sunbeam in a
sickroom. Learn to keep your own
troubles to yourself. The world is
too busy to care for your ills and
sorrows. Learn to stop croaking.
If you cannot see any good in the
world keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under a pleasant smile. No one
cares to hear whether you have the
earache, headache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out of place in
real life. Learn to meet your
friends with smile. The good
humored man or woman is always
welcome, but the dyspeptic or hypo-
chondriac is not wanted anywhere
and is a nuisance as well.

Little Window Gardens.

For a little window garden in a
child's room take large turnip or
even potato, scoop out a hole and
fill it with good soil. Plant morn
ing glories or some bright flower
seed, such as nasturtiums. Suspend
the vegetable by strings, and soon it
will sprout from the bottom, while
the flowers are climbing upward on
the cords. By using followed out
potatoes for seeding post-summer

His Gratitude,

Dean Shaler of Harvard once took
an interest in lively young under
graduate in danger of expulsion for
his revelry. Through the dean S
sympathy the lad escaped ON proba-
ton and came out all right in the
end, but, to the deans astonishment
and amusement, the young mans
father called upon him one day and,
by way of grateful acknowledgment
of the deans kindness, presented
him with two bottles of old Irish
whisky, which are said to have been
kept as trophies for some years in a
drawer near the deans desk. The
sense of the ''fitness of things" is
omitted in some mems makeup.

Lana Tells a Doc Story,

Andrew Lang tells this dog story,
which, he SAYS, comes to him on
good secondhand evidence: "A gen
tleman had a Newfoundland dog of
great intelligence. He had also a
pair of carriage horses which were
far too fat. He told his coachman
to dock their corn. This was done.
but the steeds were as corpulent as
ever. The coachman suspected that
some member of the Society For
Promoting the Comfort of Animals
was surreptitiously feeding the
horses He therefore concealed
himself and watched. The dog came
in, numbered painfully up ladder
into the loft above the managers and
shook an open sack of oats therein,
so that the cereal fell into the man
gers. The horses looked up and
were fed"

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How to Play tine Exciting Game Called
Touch the Third.

To play "lierce." or "touch the
third" the company must stand in
Il circle in pairs, one behind the 9th
er, excepting in one place, where
they stand three deep One person
stands outside the circle and is on
no account allowed 10 20 within it.
The object is To touch the third one.
wherever she NAV stand. But when
lie attempts this she darts into the
circle and takes her place before
one of the Others. Then the third
one, who stands back Of her, be-
comes the object. But she likewise
slips into the circle and takes her
place in front OF some one else. The
pursuer is thus ledefrom point @
point IN the circle. for he must al
ways aim at the one who forms the
outside of row of three. ANY one
caught changes places with the pur-
suer. This is something like the
old game of fox and geese.

King Edwards Bodysuard.

The English bodyguard of gentle
men-at-arms, which is the nearest
guard" to his majesty, is limited in
numbers and composed of officers
who have seen active service, who
are of a certain height and under
fifty years Of age at the date of ap-
pointment. His majesty personally
selects the officers who form his
English guard, and the appointment
is looked upon as ii great honor. The
gentlemen-at-arms receive pay, and
they are called upon for duty On the
occasion of all court ceremonies in
London or at Windsor, but they are
never taken away from England
Their mess is a very good one, and
they constantly have the honor of
entertaining ROYALTIES. The captain
cy of the gentlemen-at-arms is a po-
litical appointment and carries f1,-

Adam.

In the Hebrew language there are
four names for man-adam. geber.
enosh and ish. 1t is usually under
stood that the second title concerns
a higher dignity than the first, that
the third is nobler than the second
and that ish is the most precious of
all. The latter three have plurals
--gebarim, anashim and ishim-
but for adam there is no plural.
When humanity feels as one, when
the loss and suffering of one dis
trlct bring forth active aid and sym
pathy from every city, town and
hamlet in the country, then their
unity OF purpose receives the APP
proval of the Almighty, "Attem
keruyim adam" C'Ye are called
adam"C.

Feeding Fat to Children.

The continued and judicious feed
ing of fat to children will benefit
them even if they show a dislike for
it. Give bacon, cream on bread and
baked potatoes and baked in plenty
of good butter. Fat is more di-
gestible if separated, as butter
spread on bread and potatoes with
bacon. In liquid form cocoa and
chocolate provide fat.

The wife of well known official

ideas with reference to the punish

casion friend was visiting her

Soap the RoiIer.

One often hears complaints that
the boiler rusts and iron molds the
clothes. This may be easily pre-
vented by rubbing the boiler direct
ly it is emptied and while still warm
with any good household soap. Give
it good coating of soap, for the
soap will not only prevent rust, but
will help to make the suds when the
boiler is filled for the next Washing
day.

Avon, Not Avon.

Most boys and girls if asked the
name of that town in England that
Shakespeare has made famous most
of them would be likely to answer,
"Stratford-on- Avon" And neither
he nor any one else would have a
right to find fault with them for
pronouncing the name of the river
in that way, for almbst everybody
calls it Avon. Your dictionary will
tell YOU, however, that it is Avon.
Ask the teacher of your geography
class. Perhaps he or she may have
fallen into the error of saving Az

Game OF Grammar.

The game of grammar is very en-
joyable. One plays teacher and the
others pupils. The teacher says,

get TO work, and the teacher watches
their lists. The one who first makes
the mistake of writing down some
thing which is not the "name of
anything. e., noun-has a bad
mark set down against him.
Then verbs" are required, and

A Master of Slang.
Professor Hialmar Hjorth Boye-

knowledge of slang. Although he
never wrote in dialect, it was not
from want of familiarity with it..

trampdom, he knew something Of
the gypsy patter, and from the
pigeon English of Chinatown to the
thieves slang Of the dock rats there
was not slang spoken in New \ lork
of which he had not a basic knowl-
edge. When he was professor in

overheard part of the conversation.

cred that the professor and . the
tramp were indulging in hot and
heavy slanging match, and, from
what they could hear, the tramp was
coming out second best.

312 South Broadway.
Over 500 people who are interested
i'm Searchlight real estate and mining
were present, and the speaker produced
more municipal improvements and real
estate of greater assessed valuation
than all of the other Southern Nevada
camps combined.
It was shown that the town already
has water works, an electric light
plant, a telephone system, three hotels
and four lumber yards that there are
five mercantile establishments doing
monthly business of nearly 100000,
and that Searchlight is the backing
and supply center for a region forty
miles long and twenty miles wide,
which Is dotted by no fewer than 20
mining camps.
Mr., McLendon spoke of the impor-
tance of the recent appearance of cop
per ore In the lower levels of Search
| lights mines and said that 1t was his
belief that the camp was on the same
great copper zone as Greenwater and
Gina, the latter camp being situated
Just across the California line.
