Death Rapidly Thins Ranks.

It is claimed BY them that $5,0cO00o
would be sufficient TO pay the increase
for the first year, and that after that
time the decrease in the number OF the
veterans from death would be more
than % per cent per year. At the end
of five more years. it was stated this
morning. there will be no more OF the
veterans alive. Death IS fast thinning
the ranks which once faced the armies
OF Santa Anna.
The present convention has been called
ut a time OF the year that Is iuconVen-
lent for most OF the old men II has
been the custom Of the veterans 10 hold
the conventions in the spring. but the
necessity OF bringing the matter Of the
increase of salary before Congress was
thought so imperative that the date was
changed.

WATER AS A D,slNFEcrAnr.,
One Of the Most Valuable for Use In.
Sick Room.

1t is: a fact not generally taken into
account, because but imperfectly un-
derstood, that pure, fresh, cold water
is one of the most valuable disinfect-
ants, inasmuch as it is a powerful alb
sorbent. Every sickroom should have
large vessel of clear water, frequent
ly. renewed, placed near the bed, or
even beneath it. This not only alb
serbs much Of the hurtful vapor, but
by it's evaporation it softens and tenn
pers the atmosphere, doing away with
the dryness, which is so trying and
depressing to an invalid, or even to
persons In health, for that matter. It
has frequently been shown by actual
experiment that troubled sleep and
threatened insomnia are corrected by
so simple thing as the placing of an
open bowl of water near the sufferers
bed. On the same principle water
which has been standing in an open
vessel in sleeping room or sick
room should under no conditions be
used for drinking; nor should any
liquid intended as beverage be al
lowed to thus stand open to contami-
nation.-Exchange

lively will not be permitted in this
factory. That ought to stop It," he
said, looking tickled to death over the
terrible downrightness of the words
1t did stop 1t, too. After that
whenever man wanted a little Ii.
guild nourishment, he just stepped
outside the door and took his kettle
with him. Wasn't bad scheme,
either-they could conform with the
rules and get breath Of fresh air at

One day the engineer, Danny Nc
Carthy, had more steam than he
needed, and got the harmless notion
Of letting it OF through his whistle.
She started to blow at IL o'clock
and at five minutes past she was still
blowing, and there isn't whistle this
side nf Halifax with q throat like her.
Ten minutes after IL Rigby dropped
the paper he'd been trying to read
and went raving crazy.
Brown" he screamed down the
speaking tube, "send that engineer to
me"
Mccarthy" he shouted, when Dan.
ny came In, what under the sun is
wrong with that whistler"
"a'Tis jiggin,." said Danny, solemn
as an owl.
What do you mean by" said
Rigby, before he caught himself.
"Why don't you stop it,"
III Danny looked injured
well. now, Mr.. Rigby, We know %
well as do what job 1t Is to fx
jiggin whistle
Certainly I do-certainly," said
the boy. II understand all that. but
not knowing the precise kind of whis.
tie you're using, can't give you spe.
cific directions for repairing 1t. Can't
you stop it-er-jigging yourself?"
"Well." said Danny, considering the
matter. "of course. the best way is to
let it blow till 1t stops and then soak
it in pail O. soapy water till 'tis
thoroughly cool and the lie out o. the
bearin's. That takes about three
weeks. Then, agin, can stop it to
wunst by unscrewin' the governor,
only that you run risk O hurtin' the
injector"
Never mind the injector" said his
highness. "Unscrew the governor.
and for heavens sake. do It quick!"
And after Danny went out Rigby
connected himself with the speaking
tube again.
Make sign, Brown" he said,
telling the men that our whistle Is
jigging what woodland that for
the ensuing three weeks, until our
own is thoroughly cooled, they viii
listen for the whistles Of adjacent
faclories. Put 1t on the same post"
There's no ROOM" Brown chuckled.
"Then take another post. There's

THE ART OF IRONING.
Easy to Do We::.s With aLittle Care
and Labor. d

Some valuable instructions in the:
art Of ironing for the amateur or ig-
norant professional are given in re-
cent monthly. Too many people iron
carelessly and stupidity, when little
time and labor expended on the care
OF the irons, and system in arranging
things for the work before it is be-
gun will greatly lessen the difficulty
and shorten the operation. A good
light, clear bright fire, when gas is
not used, good set Of irons, not too
light and not too heavy for slender
arms, an ample board covered with
blanket and clean cloth sewed or
tackled, not laid on; with these ma
terials and patience, care and endur.s
ance, anybody cans with q little prac-s
tfce turn out as good work as aIlaun-
dry. The irons must be kept in good
\ condition, q frequently rubbed with
brick dust and oil, and polished on a
piece of carpet or coarse cloth every
time they are used. And they must
never be allowed to rust. = s'''..s-
Some fastidious people have an OBJ
lection to having their underclothes
froned at all, for they know the care
less ways of inferior domestics, who
use dirty irons, mix clean and soiled
garments, and leave the clothes hang
ing in a smoky, fy-ridden kitchen for
days at time. One particular wom-s
an has her lingerie brought up to her
from the outside line, sweet and fresh
from the winds Of heaven, and prefers
to wear them with only little pulling
out OF the frills, but for most of us
that would seem too unfinished and
rough. So teach your maids to be neat,
clean and quick about these things.
OF course, clothes need to be aired
thoroughly, but they are not improved
by lying around the kitchen or laund-
dry too long. A simple wrinkle is to
make your ironholders round in shape,
SO. that they do not hang down over
the iron at the corners. A clean cloth
at the right hand is the proper thing
on which to test its heat. Cotton and
muslin garments should be evenly
damp or they will not take smooth
gloss, and to accomplish this purpose
a clean cloth and bowl of cold wa
ter are the best combination Mon-e

The China seas used to swarm With
pirates, and many are the tales Of
former times In which these outlaws
figured as robbers and .murderers.
Modern civilization, aided by good
shooting on the part Of up-to-date yes

20 disappear. There are few left,
however. Thirty pirates, disguised as

A Good AntIseptic.

Boric acid and boracic acid are the
same. Every housekeeper should have
on hand a supply of this very useuf
antfseptic. For burns it is unusually.
excellent. Drop, two. ounces of the
boric acid crystals in a glass quart
jar and fill with water. This makes
saturate solution. Take a piece of
gauze or cheesecloth, saturate with
the solution and lay on the burn. Ap-
ply very moist, covering with absorb
eat cotton and then with oil silk.
This will keep moist for 10 hours, for
the oiled silk will prevent evapora-
ton. If you haven't the boric acid
use q solution of bicarbonate Of soda,
which Is nearly as good.
