TOILET TIPS.
 A good, harmless and inexpensive tooth and mouth cleanser is common table salt Wet toothbrush, cover with salt then scrub teeth with same. Frequent use whitens the teeth and stimulates the gums. BITS WORTH KNOWING.
 An economical way to use the many shortcomings now in the mar ket. put up in the place of lard, is to put cupful of the mixture in a small crock pail. Then, as you fry bacon CT pork, pour off the grease into this and mix thoroughly. When you roast a fat hen put equal parta of the fat from the fowl with the shortening. always stirring occasion ally until cold. so it will be we'll mixed. The result is fine for fry ing potatoes, mush. or anything that is fried-so much more palatable than the mixture alone.
 Used this way for pie crust, or half and half with buffers for cakes, you will find it a saving and better tasting also.
 So many housekeepers throw away the fat from fowls. not knowing how to utilize it, and at the present cost of shortening it is valuable asset and should be properly preserved.

Death Through a rarantuIa.

One of the quickest and most COM
pIete and justthable killings that ever
saw came about through a tarantula.
It was at a mine camp in the old days,
and the camp bully had a tarantula i'm
paled on q stick. A man newly arrived
Gom the east stood gazing. fascinated
With horror; at the sQuirming reptile,
working its black fangs in the effort
TO reach something that it could, fasten
hem into. Suddenly, without warning,
the bully thrust the tarantula straight
into the tenderfoot's face. His whisk-
ers saved him from the fangs, but he
let out yell as if he had actually been
bitten and jumped back, I fully be-
Heve, ten feet. Then, as the fellow
came poking the tarantula toward him
again, the tenderfoot drew his revolver
and turned loose on his tormentor. His
first shot would have been enough, as
1t went straight through the fellows
body, but the tenderfoot had his ex-
element to work OF, and he never
stopped shooting until his revolver had
been emptied and the man with the
tarantuIa was a sieve. Served him
right was the verdict of the coroner's
jury, and the case never went to court
for trial

RAILWAYS COST OF LIVING.

(Torrington Evening Register.)
How many are there, who join in
complaints against the railroad for
one reason and another, who have
stopped to think that while individ-
ua1s, complain of high cost of living,
the railways have many reasons for
making a like complaint? While the
essary for the managers of the roads
to raise the price of wages to their
employees, the cost of living of the
roads embraces more than that to in
dfviduals. The wages being paid to
employees of the railroads of the coun-
try amount to many millions of dol
lars annually in excess of what was
paid, say 10 years ago.
The demands made upon the roads
by the patronizing public are very
much greater and largely more ex-
pensive, if plimented with, than
they were a quarter of a century ago.
The travelling public demands better
accommo atoms than existed 20 years
ago and the roads in their own in
terest are bound to comply with the
demands. But such compliance costs
money, and there are not many roads
that have an income sufficient to pay
for improvements out of their current
earnings.
One thing many seem to forget, and
that is, when the Improvements are
to be made by the railroads, for which
the current earnings are insufficient.
they must borrow money for the pur-
pose. But those who invest their mon
ey in railroad bonds do it with the ex-
pectation of returns. And if the
railroads are prevented by laws from
paying dividends, it follows as a GER
tainty that they will be unable to
borrow money.

opaIs and IlILuek.

Many people regard the opal as an
omen of i'll luck, and the following
Will show how this superstition arose.
Two or three centuries ago the stone
was very popular In Europe, and the
jewelers. of Italy were especially cum
ming in its setting. At the height of
its popularity came the plague which
wrought great havoc In Venice. 1t was
noticed by some observant persons In
that city that when a victim was on
the point of death his opal, IL he wore
one, frightened, while after death it
became dull. The reason of this was
the heightened fever made the stone
become hot, and consequently very
brilliant, while after death the chill
and damp of the body dulled it. It was
however declared by many that it
brought death and misfortune to their
door, and as this superstition spread
the sale of opals decreased, and to this
day people believe that the beautiful
stone brings i'll luck.

WHY Chinese sbop. Arc Small.

The average Chinese shop Of any
kind in Tientsin and Peking is a one
story building without doors or win
dows to the street. The entire front is
closed by shutters at night In the
day time the shutters are removed.
These shops. are fourteen to sixteen
feet wide on the street, and the room
Is not deeper than this. Three or four
feet back from the front a counter
runs, behind which there is shelving.
The storerooms are not deeper because
of the peculiar arrangement of Chinese
houses. The typical Chinese house is
only one story In height and is built
on all four sides of a square courtyard.
II more room is needed there is a Sec
ond courtyard in the rear with a COM
municating door, and so on. The va
mems or official residences of the va
rious Chinese officials Of Tientsin are
all erected in this way-one courtyard
after another surrounded by buildings
all opening into the court.
