1t was Schopenhauer who said that
insensibility TO noise was the Surcst
Indication or a low and undeveloped
nervous organization. On which
assumption it is certain that we as n
nation can hardly be reckoned very
far advanced. Certain it is that we
are more tolerant under this head
than any other nation protesting to
call itself civilized, though | fancy
the Americans run us pretty close in
this respect. Sir Arthur Sullivan
wax won't to compose in the middle

Is merely of concern to the commu-

ask that the local authorities shall
put their heads together on this
matter and exercise the powers
which they possess. Mr.. Bernard
Shaw once expressed the opinion that
1t was the "state-aided noises" as
he called them, which were the worst
offenders-as, for example, the

1t is at the joints that umbrellas
break first, and it is scarcely sur
prising, for they are never oiled, and
yet are expected to work smoothly
and respond to the most sudden act
of opening.
Most people after using all UNI
brella on a wet day, even if they do
carefully dry it, regard any furthe'
process as needless; but there are
other means of lengthening their
term of usefulness.
To preserve an umbrella and OBJ
tain the best possible use out of it,
the joints should be carefully oiled
with parafiine or kerosene oil, to
clean off any possible rust, just as In
the case of a bicycle, and then be
touched with lubricating oil to
make them work easily. Thus cared
for the framework will last in ex-
cellent order with ordinary use al

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Tomatoes are most hygienic when
not cooked.
Too rapid boiling makes most ve-
getables tough.
All vegetables should be put into
boiling water.
Fruit stains upon the hands may
be removed by rubbing with the
Juice of ripe tomatoes.
Bananas should not be put into a
refrigerator-in fact, they should
never be allowed to get colder than
60 degrees. A chill turns bananas
black, prevents them ever ripening
properly and renders them unfit for
use.
To keep an ice chest in good con-
dition, wash thoroughly once a week
with cold or lukewarm water in
which washing soda has been dis
solved. If by chance anything is split
in the ice chest it should be wiped
off at once. Milk and butter very
quickly absorb odor, and if in ice
chest with other foods should be
kept closely covered.

The First Enlisted Union Man.

A contest for the honor of being
the first man to enlist in the army
of the North during the Civil War
has been II progress i'll Congress
and i'll the War Department bureaus
between William NJ. De Hart, of
Logansport, Ind, and Charles
Franklin Rand, of Washington,
both doctors. The claims of De
Hart have been in the hands of
Senator Albert J. Beveridge and
Congressman Frederick Lands.
| His champions have been fighting
to gain for the Logansport man an
honor that has already been bestow-
ed upon the Washington man by
act of Congress They are fighting
to secure for Indiana an honor
which they claim has been wrongly
appropriated, by act of the Legisla-
ture at Albany, as prerogative of
the State of New York.
Within an hour after the news of
the fall of Fort Sumter had been
flashed over the wires, DeHart had
enrolled himself the first, as he be-
lieves, of an army that, all told,
subsequently consisted OF ? 2,77S, 3o4
men. The records of Congress and
the records of New York State,
however, declare Rand to have been
the first. These same records also
show Rand enlisted two days after
DeHart. Documents sent to Wash
ington attest the enlistment of De
Hart at nine O'Clock Apri! 18th,
1861 The honors Rand has been
given were based on official records
showing he enlisted April 18th and
was mustered in May 18th, 1861.
Meanwhile, DeHart, according to
his supporters, was already on his
way to the front, arriving in time
to participate in the first battle of
the Civil War-at Philippi, June sd.

enlisted two days before Lincoln s

pen the following reasons why sac

does not have one man to love and
cherish her; but she may have the
friendship, the cordial esteem and
interest Of half a dozen. She does
not have one to pay her dressmaker,
her halter, her shoeman, and the
rest; but she may have half a score
for less seryiceable uses-half a
score who send her books, flowers,
tickets, who walk, play golf, drive,
skate, talk with her. One man does
not come to her for deep understand
ing Of his needs; many may come
with their quite serious interests.
Her sincere, enjoyable, stimulating,
friendly relations with men, as with
women, are limited only by her own
power of intellectual sympathy-at
any rate, in those circles which admit
any basis of companionship between
men and women beyond the en-
otional.

its way must be blocked In a few
months the tempest subsided and
Christian Science went on in its
quiet way, sowing its seed here and
abroad. The cult now has 265, 900
members throughout the world.
Since the 1901 agitation against
the Eddy movement there have been
dedicated in various parts of the
country churches which take rank
with the countrys most costly places
of worship, and plans are now being
prepared In many cities for Chris
ian Science churches costing from
$1,000 to 100000.

Harmed at the horde of recruits
al has fiocked into the new church.
Most recent of the illustrations of
the popularity of the movement in
some sections of the country was
the opening Of the new Sixth Church
of Christ, Scientist in Chicago.
Chicago is in a way the Mecca
of Christian Science. 1t has more
churches and more healers than any
other city in the world. The First
Church was dedicated in 1897. 1t
cost $10S,000 and was said at the
time to have the largest seating
capacity Of any place of worship in
Chicago. The Second Church was
built in 1901, at cost of $4,000.
The Sixth Church recently dedi-
Gated, costs in the neighborhood OF
$350.000 and takes rank with the
city's finest temples of religious
worship.
Gauged by the number of churches
and healers, Illinois is the banner
Christian Science State. 1t was to
Illinois that the seed was first car
ried after Mrs. Eddy founded the
mother church in Boston in 1871.
1t fell on fertile ground, and at the
present time there IS scarcely d city
or village of large size in the State
which has not its Christian Scien-
lists. In the entire State there are
404 healers in active practice. Chi
cago alone has 20 I OF these.
Massachusetts ranks second to
Illinois in the number of followers.
This is largely due to the fact that
the mother church alone has nearly
$4,000 members. In the entire State
there are 373 healers, and of this
number 11S are in Boston. The
aristocratic suburbs OF Boston are
honeycombed with Christian Science
and some of the places of residence
have congregations.
Conservative estimates of the
total value of the churches owned by
Christian Scientists in this country
place the figure at approximately
$10,000,0OO.
Among her followers in the early
days, Mrs. Eddy practiced healing,
always with such success that CON
verts came to her, and the move
ment as early as 1870 had begun to
attract attention. In 1870 Mrs,
Eddy published her first volume,
The Science of Man" with a chap
ter on Science and Health" the
forerunner of the present Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures.
This was the beginning of the
Christian Science denomination,
The movement soon outgrew the
city OF Lynn and Mrs. Eddy removed
to Boston. At meeting in 1879 of
the Christian Scientist Association
1t was voted to build church to
commemorate the words and works
of Christ, to be called the Church
OF Christ, Scientist-the first such
congregation ever organized
