The Care of the Attic.

Have order in your attic. Keep ii
clean and we'll aired The windows in
il should be opened enought to prevent
STIFFNESS. Cobwebs and dust should be
discouraged Anything which will at
tract rats and mice should be guarded.
Books should be packed in stout boxes,
piles of magazines should be discounte-
nanced, since the paste on their backs
acts as a lure to mice, rats and cock
reaches II pasteboard boxes are kept,
they should be looked at frequently to
be- sure they are not serving as harbor
for vermin," says Christine Terhune Her
rick in Woman's Home Companion for
May.
Few attics are ceiIed, but If they
are not light the walls and the beams
should be treated to a coat of white
paint or of whitewash. Once a month
the floor should be swept. The win
dows should be washed three or four
times year. Twice a year there should
be a campaign waged against moths,
reaches and possible bedbugs as well
as against larger vermin. Keep a rat
trap and mouse trap in commission.
Have the goods stored in your attic
arranged in special places. Put furn-
ture in one place, protecting it against
dust and moths, If it is upholstered.
Arrange the large pieces at the back.
the small ones at the front Follow
the same plan with boxes and have all

LIFE BUOY AND OAR.
Putting on the One and Supporting
Yourself With the Other.

Putting on the One and Supporting
Yourself With the Other.
Very few persons know how to get
into life buoy, and, as in this uncer-
tain world one never knows when one
may need to make use Of buoy in
real earnest, little practice might
prove Of great value in an emergency.
Now, when the buoy is thrown into
the water the temptation IS to try to
lift II over ones head and shoulders
or TO dive through 1t. This, however,
is impossible. The correct thing is to
grasp THE two sides of the buoy with
fingers of the hands uppermost, lower
yourself under the buoy and come up
through the center, then rest your
arms upon the sides, and you will be
comfortably supported as long as it IS
necessary
More often than otherwise, in case Of
accident, life buoy is not at hand.
In such an event an oar may be used
as a substitute. Now, there is some
little art In saving oneself by this
means, for an average sized scull Isl
not buoyant enough to support per-
son If grasped as the first impulse
would direct.
There is only one way in which the
oar will support a human being. 1t
must be ridden like a hobbyhorse.
The haft is put between the legs and
the blade allowed to project above the
surface of the water in front Of one.
By this means the head is kept well
above the water.-Pe arson's Magazine.

THE FIRST ASToR.
A Daring and ResourcefuI Operator In
the Fur Trade.

the Fur Trade.
John Jacob Astor was born in the lit
tie village of Waldorf, in Germany, in
1903, just as France at the close Of
the Seven Years war was ceding
Canada to England. He sailed to our
side of the Atlantic in 1888, when
George III. In the treaty Of Paris was
acknowledging our independence and
when the merchants Of Montreal were
establishing the Northwest company.
He became fur dealer, gradually
gained control of the trade south of
Lakes Huron and Superior, except
that which was in the hands Of the
Macklpaw company, and won a repu-
tation as daring and resourceful OPP
orator, which made his name known
in Montreal, st. Louis, London and
Canton.
He had dozen vessels afloat, repre-
senting a capital of $1000,G00, carry.
ing furs to England and China in
1900, and at the time that the pur-
chase of Louisiana In 1903 pushed our
boundary to the Rocky mountains he
was the wealthiest and most success

ADMITS SIN TO,
SAVE HUSBAND
Woman Writes Governor Dix, Confess
ing Wrongdoing, and Pleads
for Life.

Albany, n r., April rs Governor
Dix yesterday granted respite until
the week beginning June 20 to Charles
l.. Green, who was to have been cleo
trocuted at Clinton prison next Tues
day for the murder OF his fourteen
year-old stepdaughter at New Scotland,
Albany county, in July, 1910.
The respite was granted despite the
fact that Green refused to sign a petit
ton which was submitted to the Cover
nor asking for the communication of the
sentence of death to life imprisonment,
saving he was resigned to his fate and
anxious to pay the death penalty
The governor has denied this applica-
ton
"The respite was granted on affidavit
of Mrs. Green. who was also shot by
her husband at the same time her
daughter was killed, and is for the pur-
pose of permitting Green's counsel to
present newly discovered evidence to
the court Mrs Green, in her affidavit
eonfesses that her husband discovered
a few days before the shooting that
she had been unfaithful to him, and
she attributes this confession as the
real cause of the tragedy
"She swears that her husband would
not permit her TO testify to anything
that would help him and hurt me- and
he told her that he would rather die
in the electric chair than have the peo-
pie know or say single word against
me or against my character | feel
that in a way | am responsible for all
that he has done. and the burden rests
heavily upon me.

SAVANT SAYS EVE
WAS SUFFRAGETTE
But DR.. Haupt Intimates That Biblical
Authority Is Interpola-
finn

Baltimore, Md, April 26.--The orig.
inal suffragette, according TO DR.. Paul
Haupt, professor OF Semitic languages
in Johns Hopkins university, was Eve,
who dominated Adam and caused him
to eat the forbidden fruit,
His theory is set forth in a paper
which he read before the American
Philosophical society in Philadelphia.
For his authority Dr. Haupt quotes the
Bible. In Genesis IL, Z, he finds the
quotation:
"And unto thee shall be his desire,
and thou shalt rule over him." The con-
text seems to have no relation to this
quotation. and DR. Haupt intimates that
it was interpolated, probably by a WON
an who knew her right.
