Change Is RestfuI.

IN the very commendable effort to
change things around a bit and give
the house a new look at hOuseclean-
ing time it is just as well to be q
little careful in the matter of placing
the piano. A refreshingly new and
changed appearance may be given to
a room by having the piano in another
corner for a change, but if that cor
ner is near a window or close to a
register the scheme had better be aban-
doned. A piano is extremely sensitive
to cold, heat or dampness. 1t is great
mistake to put it too near to the fire
or radiator, because the heat is apt
to affect the delicately constructed
sounding board and interfere with the
tone of the piano. A piano which
stands by an open window on a rainy
day is almost sure to be damaged. The
dampness rusts the wires and other
wise affects the interior.
When dispOsing of the bric-a-brac
room do not save a large share of it
for the top of the piano, rather let the
instrument be unincumbered by books
and ornaments so that the purity of
the tone will not be interfered with.

A TROUBLESOME ROOSTER.

Holds Up Car Line, Delays U. S,
Mail and Crows over 1t.
IL was nothing more than a common
Of. garden variety of rooster, yet its es-
cape from coop on one Of the wagons
OF the Adams Express Company caused
enough excitement to tie up the United
States mail for fifteen minutes and de-
lay several hundred business men get
ting to their offices, says Philadelphia
North American.
Just as one Of the express wagons
was driving out of the station at 18th
and Market streets about s o'clock the
rooster wriggled through the Stats of
the coop, and made a dash for an east
bound trolley car crossing 18th street.
The motorman brought the car to a
sengers out of tne seats, and then left
the platform to see if the rooster was
killed. The rooster wasn't. 1t crOwed
twice, and in a jiffy was perchef on
the axle of the front truck.
Hey, there! Don't you start that
car until l get that bird!" the driver
of the express wagon shouted to the
motorman, who was about to go on.
Get a move on" one of the fat men
in the car called the motorman. 81
want to get to my office"
I'm responsible for that there bird,
and I'm not going to get locked $780,"
retorted the expressman. You wait
till | get that rooster"
"All right. Go as far as you like"
the mOtorman replied, as he took the
lever off the motor.
In three minutes a crowd Of several
hundred men and women gathered
around the car, while the driver was
poking a stick at the rooster to dis
lodge 1t. Meanwhile a mail car, bound
to the postoffice, was held up, as we'll
as a rapidly extending line of Market
street cars. The crowd grew denser.
Its a man killed." a leather-lunged
youngster shouted along Market street,
and this brought two policemen to the
scene.
Get the hook for the rooster" sug-
gested one Of the crowd
"You get funny and I'll punch you in
the mouth" said the eXpressman, wDo
was purple in the face, as he wriggIed
under the car after the bird.
Il mean the switch-iron. Poke IT OF
the axle with the switch-irOn."
Eyes, kill the darned thing" the mo-
torman Of the mail car shouted. I'm
about twelve minutes late now. and ali
for a DANCED rooster
mo, you won't kill it," an agent for
the Woman's Pennsylvania Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
called back as the driver tried to dis
lodge the rooster with the hook.
When it seemed as though the rooster
was going to delay traffic indefinitely
some one remarked that if the car was
run to the bar en- the return trip the
rooster could be taken off the axle from
the pit in the barn from which men
fix the trucks Of the car.
That suggestion was acted upon, in
spite Of the eXpressman's protest, and
as travel was resumed fifteen minutes
late, the car started off with the rooster
still cling.ng to the axle bearing.

Telling ..Tea" Fortunes.

Your fortune in a teacup: To add Zest
to an afternoon "tea" be sure to leave
some tea leaves in each cup; in other
words. do not use a strainer. Memorize
this rhyme, which is translation or
an old Chinese tea song, and your
guests will all be interested in hearing
it:
One leaf alone, alone you'll be;
Two together, the priest you'll see.
Three. in groups, your wish you'll gain;
Four. a letter from loving swain,
Five. good news the letterH bring;
Six in a row, a song you'll sing.
Seven together, great fortune waits
For you, so say the Teacup Fates.
Tea leaves short and tea leaves tall
Bring you company great and small.
Tea leaves many and dotted fine
Are of bad luck the surest sign.
Tea leaves few and clean the rim,
Your cup with joy O'erflows the Drlm.
Fortune teacups may be purchased
hearing the signs of the zodiac, ana
one at a party is always of interest.

Mrs. Baker, a well-to-do lady III one
Of the suburbs of a large Eastern city,
was fortunate in having an excellent
servant. Maggie was capable, quick
and good natured. Most Of the lady's
friends were less fortunate; in fact,
few of them were without their distinct
trials. At all the fashionable gather
ings the conversation turned, like a
needle to the pole, straight to the sub
ject of servants.
Mrs. Baker said very little, for she
had often noticed that an announce
ment of perfect satisfaction in the do
nestle line was frequently followed,
later on, by a second announcement to
the effect that the perfect maid had
been offered higher wages by Mrs. So
and-So, and had gone to get them.
Therefore Mrs. Baker followed "Brer
Rabbits" tactics of laying low"
More than this, she decided to be
very diplomatic. She would offer Mag
gle more wages herself, and thus secure
her before anyone else had a chance.
She was pleased with her plan.
'Now, Maggie" she said, the next
morning, you've been very faithful
and cheerful during this hot summer
and through Dorothy's illness, and 1
like your work so well that Tn going
TO raise your wages from five dollars
to six"
Maggie thanked her, and Mrs. Baker
smiled at the thought Of her own as
tuteness.
On Monday morning, few days
later, she had occasion to visit her
kitchen after breakfast. Instead Of en-
countering the usual smell of suNs and
steam, she found Maggie seated at the
table.
why, where's the washing?" she
asked. whats the matter? Are you
ilI?
"Oh, no, num-" replied Maggie,
airily, 81 amt sick; but none of the
girls as gets six dollars does any wash

for 'um, you know"
Mrs. Baker has not tried any more
diplomatic plans.

To Mend Ruhbers.

"People don't commonly know" said
a rubber salesman, ''that overshoes can
be mended, the same as shoes. When
the break is a slight one, or merely a
crack between the upper and the sole, it
pays to have this done. Most places
that sell rubber overshoes do this
mending.
Rubber shoes are made much lighter
in weight than they used to be, and
this may make them more likely to
crack. The process of mending is a
simple one and many people throw old
overshoes aside simply because they
don't know they can be repaired

NEW IRON MINES FOUND.

Indiana Capitalists Take Up 800
Acres at Caledonia.
1t is authoritatively stated that extern
sive iron mines will soon be opened in
what is known as DOG Hollow in the
town of Caledonia. For the past two or
three years much prospecting has been
done in that locality and options secured
on all the available farming lands. e. L.
Everroad, representing Louisville, Indian
apolis and Columbus, Indiana, capitalists,
recently closed deals on about 800 acres,
paying several times the ordinary valua-
ton of land thereabout. His purchases
were made for the opening of a sheep
ranch ostensibly, but it now develops that
the land is rich in iron ore. A spur track
will be built from Portage to the mines.
