That "human life Is cheap” would appear from a study undertaken by a well known lawyer of the legal dec! slons banded uowii In this country with reference to the "cash value’’ ef a man. It is estimated that at ten yenrs ef age a boy o f the laboring class Is worth $2,061.42; at fifteen, $4,263.46; at twenty-five, $5,488.03. from which time the decline Is steady, a man of seventy, by this legal decision scale, rating at only $17.13! By tbe same practical method of computation one eye is worth $5.000; one leg. $15,000; two legs, $25,000; one arm, $10,000; one band, $6,000; one Huger, $1,500. and permanent disability, $25,000. This it is pointed out, is merely an average as far as decisions have been exam Ined. It should be added that tbe estimates of the value of a man's life are based upon an idea not of bis value to him self, hut of his value to the commit nlty. Tbe figures In Individual cases would vary greatly with reference to the fact whether or not the person’s death caused hardship to others who were dependent upon him. Tbe value o f a man to himself is, it Is further pointed out, unimportant after be Is dead from a legal point of view. His value to society at large cannot be considered in a cash esti- mate since that kind of value depends upon other than physical resources His value to those who look to him for support can alone be estimated on tbs material side.—New York Press. INEQUALITIES OF MIND. Widsly Varying Mentalities Are Es sential to Society. Thu inequalities of mind are numer ous and various as tbe inequalities of matter. One mind sports with worlds, another with atoms. One man perch- es himself on Mount Chimborazo and communes with tbe stars; another delves into tbe earth In search of hid den treasures and buries himself in mines and minerals. One man moves along with the tardiness of the ox in the drudgery o f life; another ascends In a balloon and soars above the clouds. Here we find a Newton measuring the comet’s path, a Franklin stealing fire from heaven, a Columbus in search of a new world, and there a sportsman with bis hounds in quest o f a fox. One delights In his reveling and song, in riotous living and tbe giddy dance, an other In locking up his golden pelf in an iron chest • Talk we. then, of minds equally en dowed by nature or improved by art!

Work Made Easy if Gone About Sys tematically — Kitchen Closets and Pantry Require First Attention. Sweep Carpets With the Pile. Begiu the work of thoroughly clean ing a room by dusting and rubbing up all the articles of furniture which may easily be removed from the room. Pictures and ornaments should be tuk- en down and dusted and put aside. If the curtains and draperies are not eas lly removable they should be looped aside or else be covered us well as pos sible with large squares of muslin, which are kept for this purpose. The heavier pieces of furniture also should be covered. Where there is no vacuum cleaner the ordinary corn broom will answer very well. Always sweep with the pile of the carpet, never across or against it After the room has been thoroughly swept slip a clean flannel cover over the broom and proceed to brush celling and walls. The rule is to work from above downward. After the walls are brushed the wood work should be gone over with dusters. I f there are any finger marks they should be removed first. This may be done very effectually with a cloth dip ped In kerosene and then wiped dry. Never use this near fire The curtains may be brushed or shak en. and then the windows should be cleaned. Wipe the shades, using a very clean cloth for this work. The sheets which cover the furniture remaining In the room should now be removed completely uud the furniture dusted and rubbed up where necessary. It should not require polishing—that is, If average care is taken of it—oftener than' twice during a season. Clean mitrors iwid the glass doors of book cases. The chandeliers must not be overlooked. The metal parts may be wiped with a cloth dipped in cotton seed oil and then wiped dry. The pictures and ornaments may now be replaced, and then turn your atten tion to the floor. If this requires a thorough polishing, which is hardly likely, wipe over with a cloth dipped in the crude oil and alco hol mixture, taking precautions, of course, not to run any risk from fire, and then follow this up with a clean, dry cloth, rubbing vigorously. A weighted polisher may be used for this work. This may easily be made at home, using a brick or an old flatiron with a flannel covering. Never use wa ter on a hardwood polished floor. The result will be most disastrous to the finish. Before cleaning a bedroom remove the bedding and if it Is possible put it out to air. After straightening closets and drawers cover the large pieces of furniture as was done in the library. Remove the mattress cover and spread a sheet of muslin over the bed. Take up the small rugs With a light stick or a rattan carpet beater beat tbe mat tress. Tbe sheet which covers it should be moistened to hold down the dust. Both sides must be beaten. I f the mattress can be beaten out of doors U should be done. In the kitchen the closets and pantry will require first attention. The shelves should be thoroughly washed and al lowed to dry before the utensils are re placed. This is a good time to take note of the contents of jars and boxes, making n list of those supplies which are running low’. The walls around sink and range may require washing, as they are more apt to become soiled than the other parts of the room. The range should be given a thorough polishing once in two weeks. This will be found quite often enough, provided « little care is taken of it day by day. OF THE SWORD. I 4 J. SHERWOOD Prat R. C.SHINE, V.-Pres. l.M. HAZARD, Cashier 0.

Until lately the servants who waited on the Turkish grand grand vizier In Constantinople were mutes, though not. as In former times, persons specially mutilated, but chil dren born deaf and dumb. They used a language of signs, with a special ges ture to describe the representative of each nation. To indicate the Bulgarian agent they Imitated a man playing on the bagpipes. It was not the Bulga rians who invented the pipes, however. They are among the oldest of musical Instruments. An ancient gem shows Apollo with them, and two Instruments in the book of Daniel are believed to have been bagpipes. The bagpipes range not only In time from Apollo and the Bible to the pres ent day. but geographically from Chi na to Spain and Great Britain. Eng land is said to have given them to Scotland One country, however, final ly lost a peculiarly severe form of the Instrument. This was the Sardinian “ lannedda,” which had three pipes, all placed in the piper’s mouth, and was played by rubblug strips of wax up and down over the holes. The work was so exhausting that nearly all the pipers died young. In 1845 George Burdett came across one who had survived to the age of eighty. But he was the last of the lannedda players, and when he died the instru ment was played no more. — Chicago News. A Champion Bore. “ I used to know a man,” says Abe Peters, “ who was the worst bore I ever met. He used to stop me when ever he met me and start with a line of talk, generally about himself, and stay with me for an hour or more. He was an absentminded man and had a habit of catching hold of a button of my coat and holding on to that while he talked. He would hang on to that but ton and just ramble on and on till 1 was nearly ready for the bughouse. One day a happy thought struck me. I got out my knife quietly and cut the button off and slipped away. He kept right on talking. An hour later a friend of mine came along and found the bore still standing there, with the button between his fingers and talking about the year o f the big snow In Mich igan. lie hadn’t noticed that I was gone.” —Topeka Capital.
