ANOTHER USE FOR SALT. For moths salt is the best ex terminator. The nuns in one of the hospital convents have tried everything else without success, and their experience is valuable, as they have so much clothing of the sick who go there; and strangers, when dying there, often leave quantities of clothing, etc. They had a room full of feathers, which were sent there for pillow making, and they were in despair,- as they could not exterminate the moths until they were advised to Iry common salt. They sprinkled it around, and in a week or ten days they were altogether rid of the moths. They are never troubled now. In heavy velvet carpets sweeping them with salt cleans and keeps them from moths, as particles of salt remain in the carpets and corners. Salt is not hurtful to any one and has no bad smell. Here is a little hint I add. which, perhaps, everyone does not know. For cleaning wash basins, bath, etc., use the same thing, common dry salt. Rub a little of the salt with your fingers on the basin. Often a sort of scum is no ticed in the basins in a marble washstand in the bathroom; the salt takes it off easily and leaves the basin shining and clear. Philadelphia Press." DIDN'T SUIT. He stood on a step-ladder trim ming the dead limbs out of a fruit tree, when a man came along with some tools in his hand and stopped, and. asked: "How1 many hours are' you put ting in for a day's work?1' "I'm busy- from daylight until 8 or 9 o'clock at night," was the reply. "Dcn't you know that nine hours is a day's work?"' ' "I've heard so, but he won't let me off at that." ; ' "Then strike on him." UI can't very well." Dasn'tyou kick?" "It wouldn't do any good." "Some rich old cuss who wants to grind you into powder, eh?" "Well, he keeps me at work. I believe I put in thirteen hours very day." "Then you are a fool." "Maybe so." "He ought to be talked to." "Yes,." ' "Why don't you quit?" "I would, you- see, but I'm the old cuss' you are , talking about, and though my man can get his day of nine hours I have to put in the three or four more or things will get behind." Exchange.

Children Cry for; A BOARDING-HOUSE INCIDENT. .There was chicken for dinner at a Harlem boarding house, and in stead of being satisfied to take any of it that was offered there was a general request all around ' the board for "white meat." Several boarders sent back their plates to have their piece ot dark meat ex changed for white. The landlady herself was master of ceremonies in the kitchen that day. She stood this raeket as long as possible, and then burst into the dining room like a cyclone fresh and furious from the west. Glaring at the boarders, she exclaimed: "See here, 3rou loafers, what do you mean by all sending out for white meat? Do you imagine a chicken is made of white meat Couldn't eat a nice piece- of the dark meat, I suppose? On, no; you have been eating nothing but white meat all your lives, and that's the reason you are all white-livered, 1 reckon." She seemed to swell up as her awful indignation grew "upon her, and, moving closer to the table, she swayed above'it like a giant oak in a storm. This time she fairly screamed: "Confound your impudent car casses. I'll have you know that I am not so particular about color. Take the color of your money, for instance. I'd like to see some of it and I'd take it most mighty darn quick, be it red, white, blue or speckled. Now, I'm goin' to send that chicken back here, and any of you dudes that don't like the dark meat can take it out to a kalsominer and get . it white washed." "Gentlemen,'.' said one of the boarders, when the lady had re tired to the kitchen, "we have trodden on the tail ot a tempest. For one, I prefer dark meat on my plate to having it distributed around under my eyes." And the rest of the boarders did, too. World. IN- PARAGRAPHICAL FORM. Well, why not send an Indian senator from North Dakota? There are educated Sioux there. why leave them in the Siouxp? The school children of Scotland have struck against studying at home. They think six hours a day over books enough, and they are right. That Chicago paper which chris tened itself Lies, lies dead and died lying, for over its last issue floated the legend, "Guaranteed circulation 59,000." It is said that kissing is unknown in Japan, and even a mother never kisses her baby. This shows that we enjoy luxuries unknown to the Asiatics. The Paris exposition has had already 35,000,000 visitors. It is the best paying world's fair that has ever been held and is a de cided credit to France. The Philadelphia girl tests the social qualities- of her -gentlemen visitors by seating them in rocking chairs. If they rook, their fate is sealed. The English , postoffice does all the express business in Great Britain, carries parcels at an .aver age cost of II cents each, and makes a profit of $2,250,000 a year.- : .. Two brothers, who were twins, founded a town near Cleveland, Ohio, and named it Twinsburg. Next we will have this idea pro jected to Tripletsburg, Motherin- lawville, and other adaptions of the domestic relations. Japan has thirty -one schools of medicine, one of dentistry, and two of veterinary surgery. The University of Tokio graduates an average of one .hundred medical students yearly. Tokio alone . has over twenty1 hospitals and numer ous active medical societies. Irvine & Helm will sell you- a ladies' grain shoe, for $1 per pair. "Pitcher's Castoria A means of developing photo-. srauhic negatives without removal to a dark room has been found. The develoDinff solution is stained with a ruby dye which prevents white light from reaching the plates after being immersed in the liquid. . ; . Certain officials in Switzerland have shown symptoms of irritant poisoning, which have resulted, it is believed, from handling some new bank notes printed in green. This is the way. which Allen C. Mason does business at Tacoma. He puts a small army of men at work clearnig 600 acres of land at a cost to him of "$7,000. The lots will sell" and he will make some money. Prince Hatzfeldt, whose per sonal affairs with Miss Huntington have had such wide publicity, seems to be a solid man after all. He is a Prussian peer and owns an estate of 700,000 acres in Moravia, on which is . a profitable silver mine. Mr. Kikle,of Flora, lnd., got mad at his wife at the wrong time They were riding in a. buggy toward a railroad crossing when Mrs. Kikle heari a train and want ed K. to stop till it passed. He re fused, whereupon she jumped from the buggy and he kept on, meeting the train just in time to be killed. Notice to Farmers.

THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE Is the apartment to which the unhappy sufferer from inflamiUiry rheumatism is confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reach ed, that tine - pieyentitive, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of a rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary suf fering is avoided. Nervines, anodynes and sedatives, while having none but a specific are yet very desirable at times. Yet they can. produce no lasting effect upon rheuma tism; because they have no power to elimin ate from the blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter's Stomach Bittets does this, and checks at the outset a disease which, if al lowed to gain headway, it is next to impos sible to dislodge or to do more than relieve. Rheumatism, it should be remembered, is a disease with a fatal tendency from its prone ness to attack the heart. A resort to the Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dys pepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and ner- vousness are reneveu ny it. mi.
