IN A BOARDING-HOUSE. Tk» IrreprrMlblf Swtal That Prnradri th* Pra»*rl«. The boarding house Is the sign of the csdyiag savagery of the country. There Is no dining in the boarding house, for, even if the boarder has progressed far enough along in civilization to know the art of dining, he is handicapped for want of material. Who can practice the art of dining on pork chops, prunes, charlotte russe and tea? The line of boarding house life ia really the primary idea of eating rapidly and burrowing in lonely apathy afterward, each boarder creeping away to his lonely hole, like a gluttonous rabbit. But even in this rabbit-like atmosphere the soeial instinct refuses to be repressed. The landlady exhibits three dusty and time-worn visiting cards, and the young gentleman who travels for neckwear sticks, with some ostentation, a card for some obsolete social function into the corner of his cracked

mirror. As for the typewriter, she insists upon instituting' a reception day. which she calls ambitiously her “Sunday afternoons,*’ w hen slip marshals her admirers in distressed and jealous ranks and insists upon giving them stomachic twinges by feeding them with cut lemons moistened with hot water, which she calls “Russian tea.” She has unconsciously grasped the idea that it is the names of things which keep the “masses" out of society. The typewriter’s room is six by nine, and her “gentlemen friends” are ail large young men w ho hate each other’s atmosphere and proximity. They treat eaeh other with a dime novel and frapj»ed politeness, and are constantly sitting down on each other's hats. They also forget each other's names and one might almost expect them to slap each other across the face with a glove, it they wore gloves. The conversation ismjotrome!y strained and stilted and theTtast man to go scowls at those he leajjP behind. liffie typewriter confided to me that iMe doesn't get any solid pleasure out this marshaling of her ranks, and as it’s very evident the ranks don’t get any plestsure—and that the “Russian tea” functions produce nothing but spleen and stomach ache—I have rethonstrated with her about the wasted outlay of lemons and politeness, rauch as I>r. Rainsforvl remonstrated with Mr*. Bradley Martin about her fancy-dress ball. The typewriter, however, is obdurate. Everything is relative, and the Bradley Martin feeling reigns in her bosom, as it does in all feminine bosoms. “Would you shut me out from every srlimpse of social life?" she asks, pathetically. And since that is the nearest she can gpet to social life, if you come to our boarding house you will find the young men sitting coldly but firmly upon each other’s hats everv Sunday afternoon.— N. Y. World.

BLEACHING IN WINTER. The Only Method of Whltentnx Clothe* in This Sr*«on. It is often necessary to bleach clothes j» winter, when it is impossible to spread them on the grass in the sun. Where fineu or cotton clothes are washed with soap containing soda or boiled in w ater in w hich soda is used they will grow yellow in time, and there is no method of w hitening them in w iliter except by the^use of a bleaching fluid. Chloride of lime, if used in the proper manner and quantity, is a perfectly harmless bleaching powder. It is the * best and cheapest material that can be employed for this purpose. Purchase from a trustworthy druggist one pound of good chloride of lime. Dissolve it in enough cold w ater to form a smooth paste. Add enough cold water to make two gallons in alt. Add also four pounds of ordinary sal soda, after first crushing it to a powder. Stir the mixture until the soda is dissolved. It w ill take a g.Rxl deal of stirring to dissolve the soda crystals. When this is done, let the mixture stand in a stone pot or in a wooden pail for 24 hour*. There will* be a, sediment, w hieh will tie settled to , the bottom by this time. Pour off or dip off the clear liquid and put it in u two-gallon stone bottle. Cork it well and set it away in a cool place. When it is needed use a pint of this solution in a gallon of soft water. Lay the garment or garments of cotton or linen to be bleached for one hour in this gallon of prepared water, and afterward rinse them thoroughly several times in clear soft water. Where a large article ia to be bleached, like a tablecloth or sheet, a larger bleaching bath than a gallon must be prepared.—N. V. Tri bune. ' K«»< Hobbit. Skin and draw a line young rabbit.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS FOR POULTRY RAISERS. n«w to Stele* * Good Incnb«itor ud 9 Broodier at Hone. Tli* brooder herewith described is simple and cheap. The tank A in Fig. 1 consists of a three-inch iron pipe eight feet or more long screwed up with a cap on each end. Through one end is bored a hole through which a one-inch pipe (B) runs up nearly to the other end of the tank. Oi^this pipe (B) outside is screwed I a T, standing upright. On top of this | T is a small cock (E) and below the T is I a one-quarter-inch pipe with valve and ) union. A hole bored on the under side of the tank very near the cap has a oneI quarter or three-eighths-iuch pipe i perewed in for the backflow (F); this also b»s a valve end union. Another hole

A small piece of one-quarter-inch ! pipe (D) connected by a rubber hose reaches a pan on the floor for the overheating flow. The oil stove or lamp (A) is for heating. This heater works very steadily, is cheap and will last a long time. Having built the boiler, the box is made around it. Kach partition of the brooder is two feet long and seven n-^

In the back is a j glass door 16 inches long for conven- j ienee in cleaning out and looking in. ’ The front partition (1), as shown in Fig. £. consists of three pieces of glass arranged to slide or to be taken out fat will. The front box, or first run four, is covered with glass. It contains a pane to lift up for putting in feed. After the chickens grow bigger partitions 1 and 2 are removed, and the chicks allowed to run down on board 3. A fence two feet high of one-inch wire mesh separates each flock. It^s not advised to put more than 30 chicks together, else they will crowd and kill each other —Farm and Home. EARLY GARDEN CROPS. Should Be Sawn u Soon as the Ground Cun B« Worked. There are a number of vegetables that can be sown as early in the sprtfig as the condition of the soil will admit. They start to grow early and will supply salads and early vegetables in good season. To secure the best results all preparatory work should be done in advance, so that at the first favorable opportunity the planting can be done. 1 here is no advantage in attempting to make the garden until the soil is in condition to be worked readily into a fine tilth. But it is well to have everything in readiness. One item is thoroughly to plow the ground. Soil that is well plowed and well drained will not only dry out earlier, but will warm up cjuicker than if left undisturbed untli spring. It is always best to plow deep aud thorough, and in finishing, run out furrows wherever necessary to provide good drainage. Whatever manuring is necessary can

also be done during the winter. The j luauure used ia the garden should be thorughly rotted and refined, for two ; teusons. One is that this condition is \ necessary, so that it can be well incorporated w ith the soil. The other is i that in order to be available the plant ! fc«*d in the manure or fertilizer must j he soluble, and rotting and fining are ! essential in making it easily soluble. ' nother advantage in rotting the ina- j r.ure is that any weed seeds it may con- 1 tain w ill be destroyed. It pays to manure liberally. There is little danger < of having the soil too rich. A good rich soil, thoroughly prepared, is om» of the first essentials in having a good garden. Another thing that can be looked after in advance is the seed. Good seed is another essential to a good crop of coy kind, and for the early garden it is necessary to secure w hat is needed ir good season. In making up the list it is always best ; to rely upon old standard varieties for ! the main crop, trying novelties on a small scale until their value is aacer- ! taiued. It is w*e4l to remember that the ; extraordinary growth and yield se- i cured with many novelties are the re- j suit of the most favorable conditions of growth, and that varieties that do well in one locality and kind of soil [ often prove failures when grown under J entirely different conditions. Do not get too many varieties. With I quite s number, one early and one late | suffice, while in some cases it will be j better to have an early, medium and j late, ;n order to maintain a supply wit! tin least trouble. Onions, radishes, lettuce, spinach, peas, beets, early cabbage, kale, can ail be sown as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring.—St. Louis Republic. AGRICULTURAL NOTES. Care and fertilizers make the farm. Convert cheap grain into meat and send to market in that way.

OUR PROVISION TRADE. <CagUB<l Gcta the Largeat Shave at America** Sarplsi Products. The exports of American hams amounted last year to 130,000,000 pounds, valued at $12,000,000, and 103,' 1*00,000 pounds of this total were sent to Great Britain. The other countries with which there was considerable trade in American hams were Canada, Cuba and Belgium. The exports of bacon to Europe last year amounted to 423.000. 000 pounds, of the value of $33,000,000. More than three-quarters of the product was sent to the United ! Kingdom, and among other countries j Brazil took an important place, with imports from this country of 20,000,000 pounds, Germany following with 8.000. 000, Canada with 7,000,000, Cuba with 6,000,000 and France with 4,000,- ;

000. The exportation of lard is still another important item of American commerce, amounting'last year to 510,000,000 pounds, of the value of $34,000,000. In the consumption of this article of American export the supremacy of the United Kingdom is less marked than in ham and bacon, for, although 200,000 pounds, about 40 per cent, of the total, went tp England, Germany was a consumer to the extent of 120,000,000, or nearly 25 per cent, of the tdtal. France followed with 32,000^000, Cuba with 20,000,000 and Brazil with 13.000,pounds. In this particular item of exports, as in other items. Cuba as a market for American produce has lost its importance since the outbreak of the Cuban war, and furnishes each month a steadily diminished market. The exportationof fresh beef amount- i ed last year to 225,000,000 pounds, of j the value of $19,000,000, and substan- j tiaily all of this, except an infinitesimal • portion sent to the West Indies, was j takeu by Great Britain. . In the export- ' ation of salted beef from the United I States to foreign countriesone-half only was sent to the United Kingdom, the j balance being distributee! among West I Indian islands, Germany, Canada and ;

South American countries, the amount exported to Cuba amounting to less than $1,300 worth in a v>ar. A very large market for American tallow, the exportation of which increased enormously 1 ast year, was found in France, to which 8,600,000 pounds were sent. Germany took 6,700,000 pounds, the Central American states. 2,000,000, the West Indian islands, exclusive of Cuba, Porto Rico and Hayti, 1,250.900, and Mexico, 1.S00.000. The United Kingdom, at the head of the list in tallow, as in other articles of produce in the provision trade, took 13,000,000 pounds, or about 4C per cent, of the total American exportation. More than twothirds of the exports of American canned product* of meats and provisions were taken by Great Britain—*0,000,000 pounds of the 60,000,000 pounds exported.- Germany took 7,500,000 pounds, France, 5,400,000, and Africa 3.500,000; 1,300,000 pounds were sent to Canada and 700,000 pounds to Asia and OceaSiica. being the article of American commerce which, it would seem, is most widely diffused among the countries of the earth. There is, practically, no exportation of American mutton, and very little of fresh pork. The American exportation of canned salmon amounted last year .to 32,000,000 pounds, and the American exportation of oysters amounts to about $600,00C a year. BOSS RABBIT TRAP.

Extraordinary Henoasness. Blindfolded. Coaid Coant Every Sonin Whoa Walking Actom » Carpet From the Capital, Sedatta, Mo. There is probably no one better known In Sedalia, especially among the members of the First Baptist Church, than Mrs. Mollie E. Roe, the wife of Mr. Roe, the nursery man, and nothing is better known among the lady’s acquaintances, than that for the past four years she has been a physical wreck from locomotor ataxia, in its severest form. That she has recently recovered her health, strength and normal locomotion has been made apparent by her being seen frequently on the streets and in church, and this fact induced a representative of the Capital to call on Mrs. Roe to inquire into the circumstances of her remarkable recovery. Mrs. Roe was seen at her house at the corner of Ohio Avenue and Twenty-fourth Street, and seemed only too glad to give the following history of her case for publication: “Four years ago,” she said, “I was attacked with a disease which the physicians diagnosed as locomotor ataxia, and Lfras speedily reduced to a mere wreck. HfaiLno control of my muscles, and could notiiff the least thing. My flesh disappeared. Until my bones almost pierced my skin. The Sense of touch became so exquisitely sensitive, that I believe 1 could by walking over the soft-1 est carpet blindfolded, have counted every seam, so it may be imagined how I felt when trying to move my uncontrollable limbs. “The most eminent physicians were consulted, but they gave me no relief, and I was without hope, and would have prayed for death but for the thought of leaving my little children. All thought of recovery had gone, and it was' only looked upon as a question of time by my husband and my friends when my troubles would eud iu the

grave. “One day while in tins condition. I received a newspaper from some friends in Denver, with a news item marked, and while reading it my eyes fell upon an account of a remarkable cure of locomotor ataxia, bv the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills forPale People, and the case as described was exactly similar to my own. I at ouce made up my mind to try the remedy, and began according to directions to take tbe pills. The first box limt not gone when 1 experienced a marked improvement, and as I continued l grew better and better, until I was totally cured. I took about four boxes in ail, and after two years of the most bitter suffering was as well as lever was. Not only my feelings but my appearance underwent a chauge. 1 gained flesh, and though now, forty-three years old, I feel like a young girl. You can say that Mrs. Roe owes her recovery to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, aud that she knows there is nothing in tbe world like them. /Qtiwio,!\ ? rr F Pa* " Subscribed and sworn to before me this 24th day of August, ISOS.

The Blndgeoni of Constantinople. These men of Constantinople were not armed in the common sense of the word. Some of them had revolvers, and the most of them had knives. But they seldom used either; for awkward questions might be raised if the police were called to account for failing to arrest armed civilians on the streets. Carrying ax-helves, pick-ax handles, heavy clubs like baseball bats, jagged fragments of broken scantling; carrying anything that can crush the skull of man, this horrible rabble flooded the streets of all Christian quarters of the city like an all-desolating tidal wave, silent, but irresistible. Their silence by day was almost as terrible as their howls by night. They would be seen going along the street, when they would meet an Armenian who had ventured to reach his home. Without a word they would break in his skull and go on their way entirely unmoved, and hardjy hauing spoken a loud word, if resistance was offered they had only to say: “The Giaours resist!” and a horde of their fellows would come running from all directions to destroy one who had proved his seditious quality by daring to resist a Mussulman.—Scribner's.

Millions ot Cook Books Given Away. There is one large house in this country that has taken business on its turn and means to ride in on the rising t'le. Alive to the signs of better times and j the best interests of the people, they are now circulating among families a valuable publication known as the Charles A. Yogeler Company's Cookery Book and Book of Comfort and Health, which contains very choice information on the subject of cooking. Receipts for the preparation of good, substantial and dainty dishes, prepared especially for it by a leading authority, will De found in its pages. Much care has been taken in its preparation and distribution, with the hope that it will be just the thing needed for housekeepers, and just the thing needed also for the care of the health and household. As a Cookery Book it will be invaluable to keep on hand for reference. It also contains full information in regard to the great remedies of this house, which provide against bodily ailments, especially the Master Cure for Pains and Aches, St. Jacobs Chi. To give some idea of the labor and expense of this output, more than 200 ton?vo** paper have been used in its publication, and at the rate of 100.000 a day, it has taken several months for the issue. The book can be had of druggists every-where,-or by enclosing a 2c stamp to ThCharles A. Vogeler Company, Baltimore.
