Supplements Child Labor Law.

sion of Congress 20 protect the chill
dren Of the District. The bill passed
by a unanimous vote late yesterday
afternoon.

measure is meant 10 better the condition

not satisfy Mr. Mann, and the bill
went over until the next District day

Taking Care of Medicines.

You can't be too careful about plac ing poison bottles so that there's no danger of some one getting hold of them by mistake. If you have many such bottle and some families have hundred and one liniments. each carefully marked with its poison label it is a good plan to set one small shelf aside in your medicine closet. If space is too valuable thing to do this or your cities too few, put everything of poisonous nature in box, mark ing the box as Poison in big let ters. Being shut away from every oth- CT medicine makes you safe. especially if every member of the family is for bldden to touch that box. You're safer still if you can have 1t locked up.

Cabinets For Bric-0-brac.

An element that works for destruc- ton in the average house plan is ones pet odds and ends of bric-a-b brac. The smaller the pieces the greater the dan ger of cheapening the effect as a whole. Nothing is more belittling to a room than host of trihes scattered here and there. Yet we cling most naturally to our treasures. There are two ways of disposing of them so as not to mar the dignity of line and arrangement. One of these is china cabinet, the other q narrow shelf around the walls of the room, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The cabinet is almost always q wise plan and if carefully selected to cor respond with the style of the other furnishings Is an unobtrusive note in the room. When tae shelf is substi- tuted, if it is to be high at all. let it come comfortably above the heads of standing persons. yet at the same time within easy reach.

Perfumed Bath.

If you v-ant to take bath in some thing H'a. 's very sweet smelling, pre- pare som sea salt after this fashion, Buy the e"lt at the drug store: take big handful! of 1t: lay it in bottle and add some violet perfume, let it stand three dave. and it is ready for the ba@.
 Another plan Is to add to the sea salt grain of musk, a little essence of violet and finally about teaspoonful q alcohol; set the bottle away for three days, turning 1t twice day.
 When you are ready to take your bath throw a handful of the sea salt Into the water. It wnl perfume the water without making it too salty Washington Post
 Politness is the best defense against other peoples bad manners.

A Pat Reply.

President Mckinley once had an ap- plicant for the post of minister to Bra gil who brought with him a petition signed by 1000 Chicagoans. It seems that he was picture framer, and as he went about canvassing for orders he was in the habit of collecting sigma lures to his petition. President Me- Kinley listened respectfully to the ap- plicant, questioned him as to his quail ifications and finally explained that be fore he could give the matter serious consideration he would have to confer with the senators and representatives from Illinois.
 You know that we have to select big men for these big places," said the president kindly as he bade his caller goodby.

Thc fscliOtrODe,

Although the heliotrope is tender plant. extremely sensitive to cold, it is one of the best plants for cultivation indoors It seems to have few diseases and is usually free from insect enemies, while with abundant water and sun shine and sufficient artificial heat it will bloom all winter long year after year and is so tenacious of life that when cut down to mere stick 1t quickly shoots forth luXuriant new wood In addition to this the more the plant is pruned the more luxuriantly it blossoms. The blossoms should be cut with a considerable length of the new wood upon which they grow, and if at once fully immersed in water and then placed deep in a well filled vase they remain fresh and odorous for many days. The plant is q little difficult for amateurs to propagate from cuttings, though with plenty of water and sun and some bottom heat the young cut tinss quickly root and prosper.

 He dropped his voice. "They are outside now, and Hood is parleying with them. They've got that silly ass of parson with them, who is by way of being my friend. He's taken to me nightly because I had brother or cousin at Rugby, and nothing must serve them but that they must znaks investigatilavs in the inn"
 I shrugged my shoulders. "Upon my word, I don't see what l can do for you,' I said.
 "Yes, you do." he replied sharply. "I have told the sergeant that you are here right enough, but are staying with me as my guest. He swears he must see you and find out for himself. And the parson. amiably embarrassed. VOWS 1 am being insulted. However. there you are"
 "Very well," said l slowly; "let them in."
 Sercombe scrutinized me keenly, as though he would read my soul, and then, apparently satisfied, left the room.
 In another moment a knock sounded at the door, and Hood finging 1t open. said, "Gentlemen to see you, sir"
 The little parson entered, followed by the sergeant who had called at the castle looked up from my books and rose instantly.
 'How do you do. vicar?' l said. of fering him q hand. Good day, ser. geant."
 The policeman was taken aback and stared at me sheepishly but the par. son turned to him triumphantly
 ''I told you so, Jones'" he declared "I am not in the habit of doubting Cap tain Sercombe's word."
 "Gentlemen," said. feigning as tonishment. may ask what is this"

 'T will accompany you, Mr. Morgan" I said. "I will walk as far as the cas- tie, if that IS your way"
 Sercombe started and then broad grin grew on his face.
 "I congratulate you on your quick ness of wit" he whispered as passed him.
 It was tiny triumph, but enjoyed 1t all the more because I had been for so long mere tool in their hands. took the parsons arm and walked out into the roadway. Sercombe and Hood stood in conference before the door when I looked back. and I thought perceived in the distance a grim and shallow smile flash over the latter's face.
