HINTS FOR HoUsECLEANING

Task Done In Short Order.

housekeeping time is dreaded just
iy by a great many people, but the
thoughtful husband may get it through
with in short order. Washing win
dows, for instance. is always gone
about in such an awkward way, the
windows being washed in statu quo,
so to speak. A simpler way is to take
the windows out and send them to the
laundry.
busting the pictures Is also usually
attended with much hard work. a
quick and simple plan is to take hold
of the frame firmly and swing the pic
ture back and forth hitting it sharply
against the wall each time. This dis.
lodges the dust, which falls to the
floor and may easily be swept up.
If you have no vacuum cleaner, you
may improvise one with an old bicycle
pump by attaching funnel to the
nozzle. Then work the pump back
ward, SO that, instead of forcing the
air out it will be drawn in. The rugs
may soon be cleaned in this way.
Washing the woodwork is another
futile procedure. Simply get a few
gallons of paint and paint over the

THOMAS KELLEY.

Thomas Kelley, who died recently,
had been for a long time an honored
citizen of this town. He was born in
Carlow, Ireland, and while still
young man he enlisted in the British
army, where he served eleven years,
in different parts of the Empire.
The Crimea war was, perhaps, the
most important campaign in which ne
anticipated, and was under the COM
mand of Lord Raglan. He was pres
ent at the battle of Balaclava, and wit
messed the charge of the Light Brigade,
,ere British courage was put to the
test as never before. Coming to this
country, just before the breaking out
of the Civil war, when President Lin
coin issued a call for volunteers, he
offered his services and was enrolled
in Co. H., oath Regiment OF Volun-
teers, Sept. 10th, 1862, and served very
nearly one year, taking part in the
siege of Port Hudson, under General
Bangs.
Mr.. Kelley has always been con-
sidered an honest and upright man, IN
every way, and his loss Is mourned
nv all who was fortunate enough TO
have an acquaintance with him.

ROssini's whimsicality extended even
to his birthday. Having been born ON
Feb. 20, in leap year, he had OF course
a birthday only once In four years,
and when he was seventy-two he face

his eighteenth birthday.
All his life he had dread of the

than twelve to dinner and once when
he had fourteen he made sure of an
understudy who would, at moments
notice. have been ready to come should
one guest have missed. And, though
this was double superstition, he died

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
A. selpie Wa TO Hannibal 80 Was
Wellinuxon to NAPOLEON.

Wellington TO NaPoleo0s
There IL probably no more remark
able historical parallel than that ex-
hibited by the career Of Scipio Afri-
canus, the hero Of the second Punic
war, and the Duke of Wellington, the
conqueror of Napoleon.
Each was descended from an ancient
and noble family. Each was the
second greatest soldier of his age.
pitted In a life and death struggle
against the greatest AS Scipio was
to Hannibal 30 was Wellington to
Napoleon. Hannibal threatened the
very existence of Rome; Napoleon was
on a fair way to become the master
of Europe.
Again. Spain was the center OF the
most splendid achievements OF both
commanders. The victories OF Scfpfo
In Spain are too well known to need
recapitulation, and Weilington's tri-
umphs In the peninsular war form one
Of the commonplaces Of history.
Neither Of these great generals met
his arch-adversary until the final and
decisive batties-Zama and Waterloo
respectively. And the result OF both
battles was exile to the defeated
chiefs. Hannibal retired to Ephesus;
Napoleon was deported to st. Helena.
But the parallel does not end here.
Both Scipio and Wellington exchanged
a military for a political career. And
here the same fate pursued them.
Scipio incurred the enmity Of the
Roman senate; wellington gained the
hostility of the London populace. And
here follows the most remarkable fea-
ture of the parallel drawn between
these two great men.
Seventeen years elapsed from the
battle of Zama-seventeen years to
the very day-when the great Scipio
was tried on question Of bribery.
He was not slow in his defense to re-
mind his judges that on that day he
had saved the republic. Seventeen
years elapsed from the battle Of Water
loo-seventeen years to the very day
when the great Wellington had to
take refuge from the attack of a Lon.
don mob, angered on account Of his OPP
position to the parliament reform bill.
The only point In which the parallel
fails Is this: Scipio died outside his be-
loved city of Rome; Wellington has
his monument In st. Paurs cathedral,
London. But the parallel between the
careers Of these two extraordinary men
remains as one of the curiosities OF
history.-Youth's Companion.

Greenland In Green.

When you were boy you used to
sing ION Greenland's Icy Mountain
well, the country is simply vast nest
of green mountains, covered with
snow, Ice and glaciers. These are
known as live and dead glaciers. The
dead glaciers are mass OF snow and
Ice which have accumulated between
gorges for a million years or more and
have become so condensed that you
could not penetrate the mass except
by steel drill. The live glaciers are
those that break off and fall into the
waters and become floating masses of
Ice, often inficting damage to ships.
Where the sun can strike spot the
trees, which are Of dense growth but

ministry and death of Christ, but also
employed by other religious sects to
describe the places sacred to them
from association. Thus the Moham-
medans speak of Mecca as the Holy
Land. 1t being the birthplace Of Mo-
manned. The Chinese Buddhists call
India the Holy Land because the
founder Of their religion was born
there. while the Greeks bestow this
same title on Ellis. where was situated
the temple of Olympian Zeus.
