IN A BAD WAY.

NttMrt taw a tight that Mata Him Doubt tha Doctor. A doctor came up to a patient In an Inaana asylum, clapped him on tha back and said: "Well, old man, you’re all right Ton can run along and write year folka that you’ll be back home la two weeka aa good aa new." Tha patteat went off gayly to write hla letter. Re had it finished and sealed, bat when he wma licking the •tamp it slipped through his fingers to tha floor, lighted on the back ot n cockroach that was passing and stuck. The patient hadn’t seen tha oockroach. What he did see was his escaped post' age stamp zig-zagging aimlessly across tha floor to the baseboard, wavering up over the'baseboard and fob lowing n crooked track up the wall and across the ceiling. In depressed sltafte he tore up the letter that he had just written and dropped the pieces on the floor. "Two weeks! Not on your life!” he said. "1 won’t be out of here in three years."

Sad Is Sad.

A mother, who was rather fond ot the cheaper ten, twenty, thirty cent melodrama, one afternoon took her young daughter, who had grown to\ consider herself above that sort ot thing. -44—-,. Tha daughter was bored, bnt the mother was greatly interested, and finally, whan the heroine had got into a seemingly inextricable position, broke down and aobbed heartily. "Mother, I wouldn’t cry here,” whispered the daughter significantly, accenting the last word. "let me alone," replied the other hysterically. "If a thing la sad, it’s aad; I can’t cry according to price.*"

Marriage—Before and After.

Booth Tarklngton has written some exceptionally clever fiction. More recently he has been In the limelight in the role of a politician. Not long ago ha was the guest of aome of his friends at a theatrical supper. In speaking to his neighbor at the table on the subject of marriage, Mr. Tarklngton said a number of epigrammical truths about this Important subject One was: “Before a girl marries a man, her opinion of him la much the same as that held by her mother. After the honeymoon is over, the young lady generally comes over to the viewpoint her father had.”

Spara the Horses.

A cavalry sergeant at n Western post had aadured the stupidity of a recruit for many days. One day the "rookie" wan thus greeted when he had violatad the sergeant’s orders: “Say, don’t ever come at the horses from behind without speakin’ to teem!" exclaimed the sergeant "They'll be kicking in that thick head of ydurs! Then the first thing you know there’ll be n lot o' lame horses In the squadron.”

KEEN EDGED SARCASM.

Riggs—How did the quarrel begin! Rogge—'The knife grinder spokt sharply and the butcher made a cub t|ng reply.

Don't Complain.

Don't kick because you have to bub ton your wife’s waist. Be glad your wife baa a waist and doubly glad you have a wife to button a waist for. Some men’s wives have no waists to button. Some men's wives’ waists have no buttons on to button. Some men’s wives who have waists with buttons on to button don't care a continental whether they are buttoned or not Some men don’t have any wives with buttons on to button any more than a rabbit'

Improving.

"How Is your son James getting on at collage, Mr. Beggar asked the Par son. "Fine," said Boggs. "He’s getting more buslnesa-Uke every day." "I am glad to hear that,” said the Clergyman. "How doea the lad show itr "Wall,” said Boggs, ‘‘when he Ural went np and wanted money, he used to write asking tar It Now he draws an me at right"

The Cause.

"What caused the separation V "Oh, be thought aa much of him •elf aa she thought of herself and as tittle of her as she did of him."

The Ideal.

A Mere Important Question.

Household

Harmony In Furnishing. ▲ room Is changed for better or worse by the wall paper which Is used. Many people are partial to Oor&l designs in wall-paper*. Now a floral design, which in itself may be tasteful, when repeated hundreds of times becomes wearisome, if not positively ugly. Pictures are at a great disadvantage against such a background. Plain paper in neutral tones is much more desirable. Where a design is wanted, the conventional patterns which are in vogue are always good. The draperies used should harmonize with the carpet or the rug. The same general effects in coloring and design should be followed. A carpet in a floral design, and portieres in conventionalized figures and lines, would be most objectionable. The secret of harmonious decoration is this: To so blend the colors of a room that a certain degree of unity will be preserved. Just a word about pictures. Do not use too many in a room. A few wellchosen ones, suitably framed, are far better than to make a picture gallery of your wall space. Beware also of the bric-a-brac fever. Do not make your home look like a “museum.” The tendency, both in pictures and bricVa-brac, is to overdo the matter. In these days of high nervous pressure, we housewives must so arrange our homes that they may become havens of rest.—Harriet Woodward Clark in Suburban Life.

Care of the Ice-Box.

“It seems scarcely necessary to say that a dirty, ill-kept ice-box is a grave danger to health,” says The Woman’s Home Companion. “Of course, the modern porcelain or glass-lined cabinets are most desirable and very easily kept clean. Unfortunately, these are, as yet, not for the majority. "However, a sanitary ice-box is possible to every house-wife who demands it. Be careful not to spill food on the shelves; cover closely all eatables to be put away; insist upon clean ice; scrub and scald the interior of the ice-box with strong soda-water once a week, completing the operation by pouring down the drain a solution of Platt’s Chlorides, an odorless disinfectant. “An ice-box drain should never be closely connected with the general sewage system, unless this'has been done in a perfectly sanitary way, by a responsible plumber. To save the constant emptying of the waste water, & rubber tube may be fitted over the small drain pipe in the bottom of the ice-box, and let out of doors through a small hole in the floor and other necessary outlets, being finally carried away as surface water.”

Things Worth Knowing.

Steel, when rusty, may be cleaned by giving the article a good coating of Bweet oil, leaving it for a few days and then rubbing; ft with unslaked lime. The hot plate of the kitchen stove may be cracked when very hot by cold water being upset on it when a heavy boiling pan is being placed on the stove. . To renovate carpets, sponge them with a solution of one part of ox gall to two parts of water; do not make the carpet very wet -Dry thoroughly with clean dusters. Stained enameled saucepans should be rubbed with coarse sand and lemon pulp, and not cleaned with boiling soda water. After squeezing lemons, save the pulp for this purpose. ' Grease stains on leather may be removed by carefully applying benzine or perfectly pure turpentine. Wash the spots over afterward with the well beaten white of an egg or a good leather reviver. .

Alum Aids.

Nothing is more difficult than to work up a polish on stove and fenders when the weather is damp. A housekeeper who knows her business, however, mixes a little powdered alum with the polish, with the result that she secures a high degree of brilliancy in half the time, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Melted alum, too, can be used like solder for mending the loosened tops of oil lamps.

Polishes for Brass.

Sift coal ashes fine and mix with kerosene oil to a thick paste; add as much air-slaked lime as can be conveniently mixed with it Apply this polish to the bright parts, rubbing hard; wipe off and polish with dry slaked lime. Whiting and ammonia milted to a paste is another good polish for brass, says the Railway and Locomotive Engineer.

To Clean Bottles.

When one is not the possessor of a bottle washer, lake a piece of twine about a quarter of an inch thick and two yards, long. Insert enough of this into the bottle to be able to shake well after pouring in a suds with soda in it Then remove twine and rinse in dear water. This will dean any soiled bottle.

To revent Rust On Flatrons.

Beeswax and salt will nu.ke rusty flatirons as smooth and clean as glass. Tie lump of wax in a rag and keep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot rub them first with the wax rag, then sco lr with a paper or doth crinkled with salt

ELECTIVE AFFINITIES.

An Excerpt from Artemus Ward ol Contemporaneous Apposltness. The exsentrlc female clutched me frantically by the arm and holloerd: “You air mine, O you air mine!" “Scarcely,” I sed, endeverin to gft loose from her. But she clung to me and sed: “You air my Alfinerty!” “What upon arth is that?" I about ed. "Dost thou not know?" - “No, I does tent!" “Listen, man, & HI tell ye!” sed the strange female; "for years I hav yearned sos thee. I knowed tnou wast in the world, sumwhares, tho I didn’t know whare. My hart sed he would cum and I took courage. He has cum —he’s here —you air him — you air my Alfinerty. O, ’tie too mutch!” and she sobbed agin. “Yds,” I ansered, “I think it is a dam site too mutch!” v “Hast thou not yearned for me?” she yelled, ringin’ her hands like a female play-actor. “Not a yearn!” I bellered at the.top of my voice, throwin’ her away from me. —Artemus Ward, His Book: Among the Free-Lovers.

Mis Grump.

"For years and years,” grouched the Old Codger, in his usual pessimistic way, “we have been sending missionaries to. the Chinese —plank-shaped and tub-shaped ones, both with sidewhiskers, who spake in nasal tones and acted with the chastened intolerance of hyenas; young, dried-up ones with weak eyes and weaker intellects; slimy, sliding ones, who were gathering material from which to lecture and with which to furnish a house or two when they got back; old-maid ones that looked like flying-machines or old fashioned chums, just as it happened; and a glorious list of others, all of whom needed the money and cost us a great deal. And, still, in spite of our beneficence to themward, the ungrateful Chinese ’pear to be just as unregenerate and almost as peculiar as they were in the firstj place. What say?”

Professional Query.

Among the papers of R. H. Stoddard that Ripley Hitchcock edited there is a letter which Oliver Wendell Holmes, the poet-physician, is said to have received. This letter was written many years ago by an ignorant country practitioner, and it Is Interesting because it shows the low level to which in the early Vart of the last century, It was possible for medical education to fall. The letter, verbatim, follows: “Dear dock I have a ,pashunt whose physicol sines shoze that the winpipe Is ulcerated of and his lung hav dropped into hia stumich. He is unabel to swaller and I'Jfebr his stumick toobe is gone. I-hl*e 'fclv him everything without efeck his Father is wealthy bonble and inftuenshul. He is an active member of the M. E. church and God noes I don’t want too loose him wot shall I do?" /

Poor Uncle Ed.

A Baltimore man was recently showing his nloe new opera-hat to his little nephew, and when he caused the toppiece to spring open three or four times the youngster was delighted. A few days thereafter the unde, during a visit to the same household, brought with him a silk hat of the shiny, non-collapßible kind. When he waß about to leave the house, he encountered the aforesaid youngster running down thb hall with what looked like a black accordion. "Uncle Ed,” observed the boy, “this one goes awfully hard. I had to sit on it; but even then I couldn’t get it more than half-shut”

UNAVOIDABLE DELAY.

"Dotte’s case of brain fever lasted a long time, didn’t it?” "Tea, the gums lost a lot of time finding his brain.”

How Strange.

A woman who vißited the British museum recently inquired »t an attendant: "Have you no skull of Cromwell f I have been looking all around for a skull of Oliver CromwelL" "No, madam,” replied the attendant "We've never had one.” "How very odd!” she exclaimed; "they have a fine one in the museum at Oxford."

A Shifted Burden.

"So you sold that miserable old mule of yours T*’ "Tasslr." replied Mr. Brastus Pinkley; "fc* real money." "Doesn’t tt weigh cm your eooaeft* encef" 4 "Well, hoes, I’s dons had dat mule an my mtnd so long, it's Had of a relief to change off an' git him on my conscience."

Deacon Jones’s manners had not a • single fault “Whoa, please, Kate,” he told the* mare and she came to a halt “Thank you,” said the deacon. So now I hold, by gum, That as regards politeness that ’ere is goin’ some.

Trade Terms.

"How much,” began " the lady to Baxter, in temporary charge of the - coal-yard, “how much is stove coal now?” “That depends,” said Baxter, with whom language is often a vehicle of confusion. “I la carte, it’s seven an’ a half. Cul-de-sac, it’s cost you fifty cents extry.”

His Razor Pulled.

Customer—What seems to be the trouble? Were you pulling a tooth for that man who made such a noise? Barber—Oh, no! He was simply one of those nervous persons who had to yell all the time I was shaving him!

At the Sea Shore.

"Are you familiar with ‘The Man Without a r Gountry’?” asked the student of English literature. "No,” replied the pretty summer girl, “but I am familiar with the country without a man.”

By Way of Contrast.

Miss Sion —So you don’t approve ol foreign missions? A Theist —Heavens, yes! I consider it a most excellent means of ridding the country of an undesirable element. *
