Passing of the Bad Man.

1t is quite evident that the old-time
desperate has gone to join a good
many other early characteristics Of
frontier lawlessness. The Wild Bills
and Arizona Kids nave lost their ter
ror. The day has passed when a rock
less rider can charge down the main
street of mining town and chase
the wary Inhabitants indoors. Nor
can the bad men from Bitter Creek
longer hope to force the terrorized
tenderfoot to perform terpsichorean
stunts at the muzzle Of a wicked
looking gun.
The bad man of the plains is pass
ing because he stands alone. In the
early times there was a general law
less spirit to inspire him and applaud
him. Now he is regarded as a nui.
sance. AS long as he commits no
harmful acts he can fume and swag-
ger as he pleases. When he becomes
dangerous he is shot down with as
little ceremony as would be given a
swapping hound.-Cleveland Plain

Sand Fish.

At low tide, in midsummer, on
certain parts of the Breton coast,
men and boys with baskets and hoes
descend the white beach to the seas
edge. They are anglers, but the fish
hey seek live on dry land.
With his hoe each fisherman makes
swiftly in the packed sand shallow
parallel trenches very close together
and about a yard long. II the luck
oe good, every scratch of the hoe
uncovers three or four silvery fish,
the size Of sardnies, that leap up
glittering into the air. They must be
seized quickly, or at once they bury
themselves in the sand again.
They are called lancons. The
smaller ones are used for mackerel
bait; the larger make, fried, an ex-
cellent dish, good deal like fried
:melts.
With daylight tides the lancons
are seldom bigger than a mans mid
lie finger; but with the night tides,
when promenaders have not disturb
ed the sand, they run large indeed.
Then, their lanterns flashing on the
beach, the Breton fishermen often
capture lancons a foot long.-Phila-
delphia Bulletin.

This will effectually protect the sleep

in Fig. III, and it can be fastened to
the inside of the window frame by
screw-eyes and hooks, as suggested.

the cloth could be tackled on.
Another device is shown in Fig. II.
Here the single bed has the head ex-
tended through the window into a
little tent-like awning, the outside of
which is shown in Fig. v. The iron
legs of the bed will have to be slipped
back to the position shown in Fig.

be made by any one handy with tools.
The bottom of the awning Is entirely
open, while the roof has the centre
opening that is shown in Fig. v. The
upper end of this opening is protected
by raised frame covered with cloth
(bed-ticking appeared to be the cloth
used in the exhibit), while the lower
part can be left open, to be covered in
stormy or windy weather-by curtain
on regular spring roller, as shown.
A cord runs from the curtain up over
a little pulley at the top Of the win

reach of the occupant of the bed. 1t
seemed to the writer that a simpler
covering than this could be construct

from storms, while always letting in

made as in. Fig. vi. which is roof

FRIENDLY TIP
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind, 1t is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen.
orally.
A N. Y. woman writes an interest
ing letter. She says:
Three years ago suffered from
an attack of peritonitis which left me
in most miserable condition. For
over two years l suffered from ner-
vousuess, weak heart, shortness of
breath, could not sleep, etc.
My appetite was ravenous but /
felt starved all the time. l had
plenty of food but it did not nourish
me because of intestinal indigestion.
Medical treatment did not seem to
help, got discouraged, stopped medi-
cine and did not care much whether
lived or died.
"One day a friend asked me why !
didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking
coffee and use Postum. had lost
faith in everything. but to please my
friends began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.

strength, felt decided change In my.

EMBRoIDERIEs WASHED.

In washing silk embroideries only
fine white soap should be used in
making the suds. 1t should never be
rubbed on them. The water in which
they are washed and rinsed should be
tepid and never hot and the pieces
should be rolled wet in a cloth with
a cloth spread over, so that in rolling
the silk will not fold back on itself
When the piece is pearly dry it should
be ironed with the cloth between 1t
and the iron. Treated in this way,
silk will not soon grow yellow.-New

An imperial decree issued by the
Chinese Government points out the

British Government has agreed to
decrease its expectation for trial

whether the cultivation of the poppy

case. importation into China will be
further decreased gradually. The de-

RUST STAINS ON MATING.

Rust stains on mating may be re.
moved in this manner: Have ready
some muriatic acid. a hot iron, dry
cloths, an old nail brush, a sponge,
a bowlful of boiling water. and two
pailfuls of clean cold water.
Cover the spots with paper and
place the hot iron on this. When the
mating is hot dip glass rod or
stick in the acid and touch the stain;
1t will instantly turn to a bright vel
low Wash quickly with the boiling
water, using the nail brush; then
with the clear water, using the
sponge; wipe dry The work must be
done quickly and all the acid removed
from the mating by repeated spong.
ing with clean water
When possible heat the stain, as
the acid acts more quickly on hot
than on cold substance.

is carefully washed over with a soft

A VIOLET ROOM.

Violet Is not usual shade in which
to furnish room, but one girl,
whose color it was, experimental, and
here is the. result.
The walls were papered with bunch,
es of violets, among which there were
many gray shadows, upon an ivory
ground; the woodwork was finished in
ivory. Curtains, portieres and all
covers were made of dotted swiss
and lined with violet cambria or
lawn, the only trimming being dainty
ruffles of the swiss.
Mahogany furniture added warmth
and tone to the room. The writing
desk was provided with note paper
of the faintest violet hue. Is it

JOE CANNON WILL

SPEAKER OF HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-FOlloWtnE
the arrival in the city Of the repub
lican members Of the ways and means
committee of the house for the tariff
hearing and many other republican
congressman to attend to departmental
business postponed until after election,
the selection Of the speaker of the
G1St congress was q subject of keen
discussion today in Washington. None
Of the arrivals cared to come out open
ly in opposition to the reelection Of
Speaker Cannon, while members who
have been closely associated with NJ.
Cannon during his occupancy of the
chair assert positively that there VIII
he no opposition to him by the time
the republicans meet to caucus on the
speakership.
Mr.. Cannon's friends claim to be
greatly encouraged by the election.
Not only did the speaker himself re-
ceive handsome plurality in his dis
trict, where a bitter fight was Wagel
against him, but they point out tina.
many of the members who had an
nounced their opposition to his reelec
ton as speaker, met with defeat at th,
polls.
The defeat of Representative Ellis,
of Kansas City. Mo, and ]. F. Boyd,
of Nebraska. after they had declared
their opposition to the speaker. is talk
en- by the speakers friends as an in
dication that the people do not con-
denim Mr.. Cannon. On the contrary
the three Missouri districts in which
he campaigned most actively and
where the republican candidates an
nounced their preference of Mr.. Can
non for speaker. retired the demp-
cratic congressman by electing repub-
licans.
The election is regarded by MIR. Can
mons adherents as limiting the sup
ply of speakership timber" The de-
feat of Colonel W. P Hepburn. of
Iowa, at the polls removes him from d
contest for the high position, for the
present at least.
