The Harm of Damp Houses.
It Is dangerous to health and even
to life in a damp, moldy house or one
built over a moldy cellar. Many years
ago the London Lancet in an article
on diphtheria traced the disease In
certain cases to the presence of cer
tain molds and fungoid growths which
seemed to be breathed Into the throat.
Remember, one of the best dlslnf oc
tants Is lime. Moldy cloths, such us
shoes and other articles that are unfit
for use. should be destroyed at once.

Knocked Out In One Court. -
' A quaint story about a guest who
had been Invited to sup witb Mr. C.
n. McCormick, the Inventor of the
reaper, is told in the book "Cyprus
Hall McCormick."
A very dignified and self centered
military officer was taking supper with
the McCormick family. The first
course, us usual, was corn meal mush
and milk. It was Berved In Scotch
fashion, witb the hot mush in one
bowl 11 nd the cold milk in another.
The nutieeV n: so to co-ordinate the
eatlug of tbem that both were finished
at the same time.
The officer planned his spoonfuls
badly and was soon out of milk.' ' ' .
' Have some more milk to finish your
mush, colonel," said McCormick. Sev
eral minutes later the colonel's mush
bowl was empty, at which McCormick
said. "Have some more mush to finish
your milk." And so it went, with milk
for the mush and mush for the milk,
until the unfortunate colonel was hope
lessly incapacitated for the four or
five courses that came afterward.
Faith.
Better trust all and be deceived ' .
And weep that trust and that deceiving
Than doubt one heart that If believed
Had blessed one's life witb true bellev

Oh, In this mocking world too fast'

Better be cheated to the last
Than lose the blessed hope of truth. . ,

One of the Lost Ones.
The father of Senator Dolliver of
Iowa was a Methodist circuit rider In
the early sixties in northern West Vir

One Sunday morning he was on bis
way to preach at one of his several
appointments when he met a young
fellow trudging along with a mattock
on his shoulder. Mr. Dolliver. anxious
to do good at nuy time, 'stopped his
horse and said: "Good luoruiug, my
son. Where are you going this fine
day with a mattock on your shoul
der?" . .
The yonng fellow answered: 'I am
going over here to dig out a fine big
groundhog. Where in thunder are you
going?"
"I am out looking up some of the
lost sheep of Israel," replied the minis

clerk, and ho had the pernicious hublr
of going to n neighboring saloon every

small glu'ss of whisky. He was not
proud of this habit; hence after th;
whisky he always took a clove.

the telltale) whisky odor, no doubt as
well as the clovs had always done,
and, so thinking, he returned to bis
desk.
It was a double desk. At It he and
bis employer sat face to face. John
on bis return was soon aware that his
employer noticed something. - The
man's nostrils quivered, ha sniffed,
and finally, with a grimace of disgust
he broke out:

In many of the Fitch comedies. "Wbeu

"During one of these periods of en
forced Idleness he was lounging In th-'
Players club one day when Harry B

Smith;

' ,. ' Hair Monstrosities.
. French theater managers In the
eighteenth century' had worse evl!
than picture hats to contend against.
Marie Antoinette, who was short even
according to French standards, set the
fashion of high coiffures, and ultra -fashionable
women prided, themselves
on measuring four feet ' from their
"chins to the tops of their beads.
These structures took about six hours
to erect, the hairdresser mounting u
ladder In the process., Some coiffures
were almost as broad as they were
long, with wings sticking out about
eight inches on each side of the head.
For the "frigate" coiffure the hair was
rippled In a huge pile to represent the
wares of an angry sea and surmount
ed by a fully rigged ship. As c con
sequence of these monstrosities dis
turbances In theaters occurred almost
dally until an ordinance was' issued
against the admission of women with
high coiffures to the floor of the bouse.

"Pardon me. sir." replied the young
