Reason for Husbands Generosit

Reason for Husbands Generosity.
When a suburban housekeeper re-
turned from her vacation few days
ago she was delightfully."- surprised to
find a brand new dinner set and a lot
of new kitchen utensils which her
husband had frowned upon as "ex-
travagant" when she suggested them
in June For day or so she used
the new things, and then decided that
she would keep them for state occa-
sions. So she went to get out her
old dishes and utensils. But, behold,
they had flown. In an ash barrel
down cellar she at last discovered
a few cooking tins scorched to use
lessness and some broken plates The
secret wSs out Her husband had
burned or broken all the older things
and bought the new ones az a peace
offering.-Boston Herald.

IGNORANCE OF OUR BANKERS
It Has Resulted in the Embezzlement
Of $2a,000,oo0 in the Last
Five Years.

at about TO-: 80 in the morning and re-

At the end of that time she was rubbed
down, not with soft towels, but with
pumice stone, and when this salutary
discipline was completed she went
right away into the complexion de-
partment and clapped on a cataplasm
invented by the Empress Poppea her

the arrival of a distinguished stranger,

to the asses milk nowadays-but what
would one say to the following deli

Pliny, were rubbed on one after the
other in order to impart exquisite
delicacy and freshness to the skin?

of large ants, burned and braised in

School Gardens.

Although no official report has been given out concerning school gardening during the past summer, those most closely in touch with this phase of ed ucational training say that the season has been the most successful in the history of the work in this city. says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Over 4,300 gardens have been conducted at the homes of the pupils, besides eight large school plots and twelve kinder gartens. The quality of the truck raised has been of superior order, it is said it has brought higher prices for those who sold it because of that excellence. It is gratifying to note that this feature of education is re- ceiving the earnest support of both pupil and teacher, and it Is to be hoped that the plans being considered for enlargirg it's scope next year may prove successful.

PRAGUE'S WISE BUILDING LAW
AS a Result the Metropolis of Bohe- mia Shows Remarkable Fire
 Record.

Tn report on the fire department Of Prague, Joseph l. Britain. consul. says that there has not been a life lost In consequence of a fire in the last 15 years in that Bohemian city of over half million population, and that the loss of property from fires in the last three years has been less than $2O,300 annually.
 The buildings are rarely over five stories high and the height cannot ex ceed twice the width of the street on which building fronts. Nearly ev- cry building Is constructed of large bricks laid in cement, the bricks be- ing manufactured just outside the city limits. The outside walls are covered with coating of cement, and the or namentation is frequently made of the same material, although many of the houses are ornamented with cut stone f1nishings.
 The joists and the space between them are usually covered with terra cotta and concrete, with no exposed woodwork except the window and door frames. The railways are nearly all made of concrete and the stairs of granite, built self supporting, with practically no exposed woodwork. The attics usually have exposed wooden floors and rafters, but no one is per mitted to sleep in an attic. The kitch- en floors are also built of concrete, with tiled wainscoting. No exposed woodwork is permitted in chimneys or close to furnaces. All the old houses and hotels are heated by tile stoves, but many of the new ones, including the hotels, have central heating plants installed like those in American build ings.
 While the ordinary laborer receives small wages, yet there is probably not another city in Europe where there are so few poorly constructed houses as in Prague

LOWERED FIT. SUMTER FLAG
Anniversary of Event by Play Ing Billiards.

April 13 was the forty-ninth ami. versary of the taking of Fort Sumter by the confederate forces. There has always been some doubt as to the identity of the man who fired the first shot in that famous fight; but there has never been a question as to the Identity of the man who. on that 18th of April, 1860, lowered the American flag from over the fort in the first de feat suffered by the Union army in the Civil war. The man was Lieut.. Col. H. w. Hammer, now a resident of Los Angeles, and the old man. now more than seventy years old. cele- brated the fall of that famous fort by playing billiards all afternoon with a fellow soldier at his hotel
 Although having passed his three score years and ten, the old soldier is hale and hearty, and the hand that held the billiard cue was as steady and the eye as clear as they were Az years ago, when he lowered the flag
 It is his boast that he can outwork many man 20 years younger than himself. He neither drinks, smokes nor chews. and he thinks nothing ot starting out in the morning for a ten mile ramble over the hills.
 Colonel Hammers memory in re gard to the taking of the fort is won derfully clear. and to hear him tell oi the events which took place during the battle, one would think they had happened yesterday instead of nearly half century ago.
 q was regimental qusrtermaster sergeant. First artillery" said Colonel Hammer. '1 was assigned to Fort Moultrie. but was transferred with two companions of artillery to Fort Sumter, which was located about BOG yards from Moultrie. The reason for abandoning Fort Moultrie was that it could be easily swept by rife fire from the tops of the nearby houses.
 ''The confederate troops were sta. tioned in front of Sumter, and when they saw us transferring all our forces to that fort they began building bat teries. The next day, the 18th of April, they sent demand to Major Anderson, who was in command of Fort Sumter, to surrender. Anderson refused, and word was sent that un. less he surrendered within an hour they would open fire.
 Our supplies were low. He had heard that Lincoln was sending relief. but whether or not we could hold out until it reached us we did not know. Our ammunition was low. too.
 Anderson agreed that unless pro- visions reached us by the fifteenth we would leave the fort. and meanwhile

MEANS MUCH TO THE CITY
Value In Europe, and Would Be Here.

Municipal abattoirs have become the rule in many European cities, but are practically unknown in America. The only one in operation here is at Paris. Tex, and the early results seem to justify the adoption of the plan by other cities.
 Some cities have adopted municipal inspection of slaughter houses, but as a rule, it amounts to very little. With conditions varying so widely in the different private establishments, there is always trouble for the city and in the end the inspection generally be- comes only matter of form.
 As a business proposition the mu- nicipal abattoir is not attractive, but from a sanitary standpoint it should appeal strongly to everyone who con- sumes meat. The condition of private slaughter houses, where butchers kill their own meat, is frequently unspeak- able.
 The only way to improve matters is for each city and town to erect ssni- tary slaughter house and reduction plant and require that all animals be killed there. The charges can be made so low as to take care of cost of oper- ation and maintenance and yet not be burdensome upon anyone.-F'arm and Home.

he said he would make no hostile movements. This did not satisfy the confederates. who were under General Beauregard. and between two and three o'clock on the morning of the twelfth they opened fire. The first shot came from a mortar on Johnson's island. It was afterward said that the first shot was fired by former Gov ernor Ruffo of Virginia from the iron clad battery on Morris island, but this Is not right
 So low was our ammunition that we could not afford to waste shot; every shell had to tell, so we waited until 1t was light enough for our gun. ners to take careful aim before reply. ing to the fire of the confederates.
 There is a popular idea that An dersou surrendered the fort That is not true. We did not surrender. and never would have.

To All Survivors of Indian Wars

We desire to obtain the ad dresses of all those who served on the frontier against hostile Indians in the United States and Volunteer service from the close of the Civil war until 1883, in order that their names may be placed on the books of the Ma tional Indian War Veterans Asso- citation, so that they may benefit by the act pending before Con- gresS, as soon as 1t becomes a law. Will send copy on applica- tion.
 The National Indian War Vet erans, organized for the purpose of procuring pensions for it's members, has sent two of it's order, the national commander, Henry Hegwer, and the national secretary, (. K. Hauser, to Wash ington, D. C., there to 1naugu- rate a vigorous campaign for the purpose of accomplishing this object.
 Those brave and noble soldiers who so valiently defended and protected the western frontier in the early days, making it possi. ble for this generation to develop it's unlimited resources and to live in peace and prosperity, are surely entitled to the same rec ognition that this government so justly accords to survivors oi other wars.
