HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES.

The number of household applt-
ances which are on the market are
growing in number daily. A good
agent will make a susceptible house
wife feel that life without his special
article will be q barren waste and not
worth living.
These household conveniences, So
called, are made mostly to sell and it
is the wise mi who can quickly
decide as to its usefulness. Is it a
labor saver and a good Investment?
1t usually takes more skill to use
an appliance for saving labor than 1t
does to continue with the old-time
methods.
Many Of our helpful appliances are
excellent helpers in a large family
which, in a smaller one, would be only
q nuisance. A turkey rooster TO be
used once or twice a year is a doubtful
investment; its room is better than
it's company.
If a household appliance saves a
housekeeper's time and strength, CIV
ing her time for rest and open air
recreation, it is money we'll spent.
In how many farm houses where
money Is spent lavishly for farm ma
chinery do we find a fireless cooker,
a bread mixer, an up-to-date washing
machine or a motor to run both the
washer and the sewing machine? The
farmer spends hundreds OF dollars on
his work where the wife has one. She
must wait on and feed one or two
hired men; he needs and must have
help, while she cares for the chill
dren and often is asked to come out
and help in the fields. Is it any Won
der that our insane asylums are large
ly filed by farmers wives?
1t is better economy to buy a few
laborsaving devices than to pay doc
tor bills. Fol a large family a steam
cooker is a great saving Of time and
fuel, a whole dinner for a dozen may
be cooked in it over one burner of a
gasoline stove.
A gasoline or blue fame stove
should be in every country home for
use In hot weather where gas or cleo
trlcity Is not o~bta1nable.
For a small family one of the small
ovens which fit Il burner are great
fuel savers. For a large baking or
general use they are not economical.
but for one or two dishes, a tin of bis
cult and a pie they are certainly worth
the cost.
The vacuum cleaners now run by
gasoline, which go from house to
house, are a great boon to the over.

6uryino a Water Supply,

Most rodents are provident creatures
and store a supply of food for winter
use. The Egyptian jerboa, which is
a kind Of jumping mouse, is quite as
thrifty as the rest OF its race, but it
Is singular in this-that 1t stores up
not food, but water. The jerboa is
found most generally in arid regions,
In which the dry season lasts six
months, during which time not even a
drop of dew falls. In these places,
however, there grows, just atthe close
of the rainy season, a bitter but ex-
tremely juicy melon. AS soon as it is
ripe the jerboa gnaws through its
stem, digs away the earth beneath it
and lets 1t drop into the hole thus
formed. The wind soon covers 1t with
sand, which not only conceals it, but
also protects 1t from the heat, On the
coming Of the drought the jerboa seeks
out one after another of these natural
water barrels and slakes its thirst at
them until the rainy season sets in
once more. As the jerboa lays up a
supply Of from forty to fifty melons,
there Is no danger of its store Of water
running short.

The Bricand Chief.

Not many years ago the highways of
Mexico and especially that of Guadal-
java, were infested with brlgands, who
usually stopped all travellers whom
they met. Whenever a conveyance en-
tered the capital with the curtains re-
moved it was taken for granted that
the victim of the brigands had taken
them to use as a substitute for his
own garments of which he had been
deprived. The situation at length be-
came ~unbearable, and, a daring rob-
berry having been committed, the au-
thorities sent out troops to pursue the
m~alefactors. The leader Of the gang
was captured, bound, placed on a mule
and escorted to the city. The presi-
dent sent for the chief Of police. He
was not Forthcoming.
Does any one know where he is to
be found2" asked the president.
"Why, yes, SIR" the men replied In
