Pome two rears apo a retired oflicer
of the merchant service, living in tho
Hue d'Alesia, Paris, M. Duchesne,
brought home an orang-outanp from
Horneo. Since growing to its full size
the brute is a terror to tho neighbors.
Its master won't hear of its being
chained up, contenting himself with
shutting the animal in his bedroora
before going out. This was done on* i
day. but unfortunately for him Nico
las Rargevo, alias " i he Devourer," had
determined to make n professional call
on M. Duchesne's apartment with in
tent to burgle. Now, as this illus
trious character had only completed
three days at larpo after completing
his ninth term of imprisonment, he
was naturally unaware that such a pet
as the orang-outang was tolerated in
these particular rooms. Consequently,
when the burglar was suddenly
pounced upon by two hairy paws, he
was somewhat surprised, and his
screams soon brought help, with the
result that N. Bargeve was drawn out
of the room by his feet, in a very ig
nominous fashion. He was taken to
the infirmary, and it is reported that
he has gone mad and now imagines
himself to have been changed into an
ope.—Paris Cor. London Post.
HEROES OF WAR.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
The feeling of admiration for heroes ol
war seems to be innate in the human heart,
and is brought to the surface as the opportu
nity and object presents itself.

during our Civil War was A. Schiffeneder,

the Army of the Potomac he saw much fight

In the first day's lighting at the battle u!
Gettysburg, Schiffeneder received a wound
in the riglit side, which afterward caused
him much trouble. With a portion of his
regiment he was captured and imprisoned
at Hell Island and Andersonville, and after
ward exchanged, lie returned to his regi

General Sherman, and marched with him
through Georgia to the sea.

"I happened to read an account of I)r.

a year ago," he said, "and thought that

began to take them according to directions.
They gave me great relief. After finishing
that box 1 bought another, and when 1 had
taken the pills I felt that 1 was cured. 1

MAKE YOUR OWN FILTER.
Xlicrf In %o for Drinking
\Vlltt*r \\ liU'll In I'-iiII of Oit'i'mx
aml Impii ritit'tt.
Everybody or ought to know,
that at this time of the year it is the
height of folly to drink water that has
not been previously purified in some j
way, either by boiling or by filtration. J
Boiling is an effective way of freeing
the water from impurities, aud should
certainly be done where no better
method exists, but a useful filter can
be made so easily at home, at an al
most nominal cost, that there is scarce
ly any e\c use for a household not pos
kessinp one.
The homemade filter consists sim
ply of an ordinary decanter, a lamp
lass, such ns can be purchased any
v\ here for a few cents, by \ ay of a fun
nel, and a piece of sponge or cotton
wool. Some people prefer cotton wool
because it can be thrown away after
a time and renewed at a nominal cost.
If a sponge is chosen it ought to be
taken out often, cleaned in hot salt
v ate -and afterward rinsed in cold.
The sponge or cotton wool is placed
lor the distance of an inch in the lamp
shade. This is then covered by a layer
of tine white sand, which has been
washed very clean, and placed in a line
lawn bag. This must be packed
through the top of the glass, and
spread out to fit across by the aid of
ti long pencil or a skewer.
On top of the sand must be placed a j
layer of animal charcoal which has
been previously thoroughly washed by
putting it in an earthen vessel and
pouring boiling water upon it. 'This
rannra charcoal
si A N O .

layer should be at least an inch deep
unci should be well pressed down upon
the layer of sand. The filter is now
ready for use.
Water is poured into the lampshade
and allowed to percolate slowly
through to the decanter beneath.
After a time the charcoal will get
clogged and a little must be taken
from the top and boiled for a few min
utes and then spread out before the
' lire. It will then be as good as ever
1 p.nd can be thus cleansed indefinitely.
From time to time, also, the whole ap- |
pa rat lis will want cleansing, and the ,
whole of the charcoal, as well as the
bag of sand and the cotton wool, or
sponge, will have to be taken out and
thoroughly boiled, or, better still, re
placed with new material.
Provided the filter be thus kept
thoroughly clean it will yield as good
results as any of the patent filters on
i the market costing many times the
value of this simple apparatus. —X. Y.
Herald.
FOR BEAUTY'S SAKE.
The Secret of a Clear. Attractive Com
plexion ( Mually In a Per
fect OifccHtion.
Remember that no woman can he
lovely with a poor complexion, nor will
cosmetics, however fine and expensive,
delude the observer in the searching
light of day, cautions the St. Louis
tilobe.-Denioerat. The secret of a
clear, beautiful complexion is perfect
digestion, and in summer, especially,
i'. light diet is sufficient for the indolent
lives led by most of us during the heat
ed term. Fruit, fresh and ripe, boiled
milk, clear soup, whole wheat and rye
bread are the be jt friends for ruddy
cheeks and bright eyes. Loose cloth
ing comes next. Tight corset, shoe:,
belts and bands produce coarse, red
skin and give a harsh, strained look to
the lips and eyes. Friction baft, cool
plunges and rigorous massegc. laugh
ter and exhilarating sport make the
blood bound freely, round the muscles
and reduce loose, flabby flesh to nor- |
ni.il proportions. Do not eat if you are ;
very tired and warm. Take time to
bathe the face and neck freely, loosen !
your clothes and rest half an hour I
after a shopping tour or vigorous ex
ercise. and you will feel like sp< nding

S. T. Itorer on"The Jiest Diet for
Woodless (lirls," in the Laoiis' Home
Journal. "This is of the utmost impor
tance to keep the organs in good posi
tion. Theclothing should be loose, light,
warm and suspended from the shoul
ders. Skirts should be made of light
material either wool or silk. The
stockings fastened to the waist by
means of supporters; the one skirt worn
buttoned to the bottom of the waist,
with an outside dress supported from
the shoulders, should form the neces

made to fit the feet, with broad :-oles
and low. broad heels. Gloves should be

dinner, rest should be taken in the

beef or mutton broiled, and good whole
