To Clean Fountains.

The best way to clean drinking
fountains which cannot be reached on
the inside, is to use scalding hot wa
ter and a big handful of shot. Fill
the fountain about a quarter full Of
hot water, and then pour in the shot.
Shake the vessel briskly so that the
shot will scrape along the bottom and
sides Of the fountain. This will re-
move the scum and leave the fountain
sweet and clean.

a confirmation in a remarkable meteor
lately seen In Sicily and various

as of the apparent size of the moon
and at a mean height of twenty-five
miles, which would make its diameter
extraordinarily large-about 1886 feet.

Notorious ENGLISH spendthrIft.

Among the customer at Longs, the
famous hotel In Bond street, which
has just closed its doors, was the last
Marquis of Hastings the most notori-
Gus of mid-Victorian spendthrifts.
Hastings, according to one who knew
him well, 'gambled SO that not even
the Bank OF England, backed by the
Rothschilds, with the mines OF the
Transvaal as additional supports,
could have withstood the strain" Yet
even he protested at Longs when
charged two shillings sixpence for a
whisky and soda. The proprietor de-
clared that this had always been the
charge. About time 1t was altered,
then" retorted the marquis. Just be-
fore his death Hastings remarked to
friend, i've made a pretty hash OF
my Iife Abaut all the good I've ever
done was to bring down the price OF
whisky and soda at Longs. London

Oriuinal Muck-Rake.

There would have been no civiliza-
ton had it not been for the original
pessimist, dyspeptic and grouchy who
kicked at eating his steak raw and
found way of making fire from flint
spark. Refusing TO believe that all
things were for the best, including raw
steak, he was the first muck-raker. but
he made progress and civilization pos
sible. And undoubtedly he was
scathingly denounced by the big-stick
optimist of his day as a blithering an
archist, an unsafe and insane radical
bent upon overturning the established
order of things In the best possible OF
worlds, just as the muck-raker of to-
day gets his.
