he Worked For 1t

Some years ago there lived in
Arkansas a man named Reynolds
who owned narrow gauge rail-
road from Malvern Junction to
Hot Springs. It was partly due
to the fact that he had put by
neat little fortune, and partly
to his habit Of wearing an enor-
nous diamond shirt stud that he
had won the nickname of ''Dia-
mond joe
1t was Diamond Joe's boast
that no one had ever stolen a
ride on his little rs mile road;
and, not content with telling this
to his friends, he offered a re-
ward of 500 and a suit of clothes
to the man who could do it.
One clear moonlight night a
man came into his office, drip
ping from head to foot.

Some Helpful Ideas.

/ If, from any cause, your rug
should become creased so it will
not lie straight, turn it upside
down and wet the crease until
the rug is quite wet; then stretch
the rug tight and tack it's edges
down with timed tacks and leave
it over night. In the morning
the rug should be dry, and the
crease removed, allowing it to
lie straight.
Always shrink a new braid be-
fore sewing it to the skirt, and
do not stretch it in sewing it on.
If a skirt pattern is too long,
shorten it by folding a plat
across the middle of the pattern,
and never attempt to make it the
required length by taking from
either the top or the bottom.
We have been taught that
water, to be perfectly healthful,
and free from germs, should be
boiled. Now we are assured that
boiled water is a very unsafe
drink, and that ordinary boiled
water is liable to cause numer-
Gus severe and often dangerous
stomach and intestinal troubles.
Pale colors always give an ap-
pearance of greater size to
person or an object, while dark
colOrs seem to contract. Thus,
a white shoe gives an appear
ance Of greater size to a foot than
a black, or very dark shoe does.
A white costume apparently adds
to ones size, while a very dark
or black garment makes one look
smaller.
When putting the stove away,
rub all over both stove and pipe
with a flannel cloth saturated
with coal oil; this will prevent
rusting. Shake out all SCOT from
the pipes, and take all ashes and
SCOT out of the chimney hole be-
fore closing it for the summer.
See that the joints of pipe are
marked so they will go together
without trouble in the fall.
Keep the refrigerator perfect
ly clean and wholesome, and al
low no decaying foods, or sour
dishes to remain in it. Nothing
warm should be put into it. If
it is desired to cool a thing, cool
it before putting in the refrige-
rator, and thus save trouble.

IRISH HORSES AND ATHLETICS.
Climate Of Emerald elsie seemo to
Strengthen Strain.

The history Of horses, especially OF
thoroughbreds, goes to prove that
parts Of Ireland and Australia are the
very best cradles for horse breeding
In either Europe or elsewhere, with
England as the second best, perhaps
the equal, The suggestion has been
thrown out that the secret lies In a
lime subsoil. The reason for the sup.
position Is a little obscure. The pres
ent writer has found that partridges
bred on such soil are heavier and
stronger and, II seems, fly faster than
others; bat II Is hardly an analogy
that can be applied to the horse.
There are other curious anagolies. IL
has long been noticed that the best
high jumpers among human athletes,
even when the scene of their feats Is
America, are OF Irish descent. 1t is
not less certain that the best jumpers
among horses. especially large per.
centage at Continental concours, de-
rive their origin from Ireland, with
Australia and England as occasional
rivals. From the statistics energies
strong prcsumptive evidence that the
climate even more than the breeding
skill tends to strengthen the strain
London outlook.
