A Talk on Lounges
Don't buy a lounge simply be
cause it looks pretty. Sit on it
and try the springs—Press it
firmly with your hand all over
and see that it is well and uni
formly packed; that its "spring
ness" is spread over the whole
surface. Judge the quality of
he covering of eonsre but don't
ignore the springs. On them
the life of the lonnge will de
pend. Come here and we will
show you the best goods made.

Laundering Shirt Waists.
Mathilde, the popular washerwoman
having sprained her wrist, was unable
to do her week's ironing, but she stood
over the young Irish girl she had hireii
and directed the work.
"Maybe, Bridget," observed Mathilde,
with a watchful eye on her under
study, "you'll t'iuk, you, dat all shirt

Congressional Bell Signals.
On (lie lloor of the house the door
keeper lias his desk, and it is here thai
the bells are struck that give nolic(
of the needs of congress. One beli
calls for tellers when the house is it;
committee of the whole; two bells in
dii ate a call for yeas and nays; three
declare a recess; with four bells the
red light over the eloor goes out; five
bells mean a "call of the liotise." jinelei
Which the sergeant at anus is supposed
to summarily arrest any member <>c
sight and bring hint in, whether ot
foot or horseback. Any member whe
is not present at a call of the house is
subjected to a severe reprimand. Look
ing down the corridor, the going out ol
the reel light gives the curious sug
gestion of the tall end of a passengei
train dashing through a tunnel. While
the red light: burns bright and clear it
means that congress is under way, but
when the light winks and goes "til
then the visitors understand that the
wheels of legislation have ceased to re
volve.—National Magazine.
Countermanded.
A very devout clergyman had jusi
married a couple and, as was his cus
tom, offered a fervent prayer, invoking
the divine blessing upon tliem. As
they seemed to lie worthy folk ami not
overburdened with this world's gooels,
he prayed, among other things, foi
their material prosperity and besought
the Lord to greatly increase the man's
business, laying much stress on this
point.
In filling out the blanks it became
necessary to ask the man his business
and, to the minister's horror, he said,
"I keep a saloon."
lii telling the story to his wife after
ward the clergyman said that as he
wrote down the occupation he whis
pereel:
"Lorel, you needn't answer that
prayer."—Philadelphia Leelger.
Lord Kelvin and the Cable.
It Is perhaps not generally known
that the success of the Atlantic cable
was due to the calculations and ex
periments of the late Lord Kelvin, al
that time plain William Thomson. lie
discovered that the current through a
long cable would arrive gradually al
the receiving end and devised the ap
paratus which rendered it possible tc
utilize such a current for making the
Morse signals. It was through disre
gard of his theoretical predictions that
the first Atlantic cable, in 1858, was
ruined by too powerful currents. With
out his mirror galvanometer to trans- 1
late into visible signals the delicate
impulses received through the cable
the enterprise would have been a com
plete failure.
How to Fill Up Holes In Wood.
It sometimes becomes necessary to
fill up cracks or dents in line wood
work, furniture, floors, etc. The fol
lowing is the best way of doing it;
White tissue paper is steeped and per
fectly softened In water and by thor
ough kneading with glue transformed
into a paste and by means of ochers
(earth colors) colored as nearly as pos
sible to the shade of the wood. To the
paste calcineel magnesia is then added
anel it Is forced into the cracks or
very firmly to the weiod and after dry
ing retains its snmotli surface.
An Apology.
An excited military looking gentle
man entered the editorial sanctum •
afternoon, exclaiming: "That notice of
fay death is false, sir. I will horse- 1
whip you within an inch of your life,
sir, if you elon't apoleigize In your next
issue."
The editor inserted the following
next day: "We extremely regret to an
nounce that the paragraph which stat
eel that Major Blazer was elead is with
out foundation."—Detroit Free I'ress.

The Poor Hungry Fish.
"Here is an interesting thing that
happened last summer to a friend and
myself," said a New Yorker. "We had
gone on a fishing trip in a row boat,
but it seeineel that either all the fish
were at another place or were not hun
gry. We elecieleil if those fish were
not hungry we were. We bad taken
our luncheon, as wise fishermen will,
and in order to keep tin; bread as fresh
as possible had left it in loaf form.
My friend asked me to pass it to him,
and in doing so the loaf of bread went
overboard. We made out the best we
could without the bread and later row
ed to another place to fish. On our
way back we passed the place where
we leist our bread. Then we saw the
sight of our lives. On each side of the
loaf of bread stood a big fish, and for
as far as we could see there was a
great line of small fish. We wondered
what it was, and then the thought
dawned on us—those fish had formed
a "breael line" anel the two large fish
were dealing out the bread. After that
we didn't have the heart to try to
catch any of those poor, hungry fish."
A Bride With Some Good Points.
Some years ago in an agricultural
district in England there lived a farm
er who wanted to sell one of his cows.
There was not at that time a weekly
paper in which he coulel advertise, so
he resolved to follow a local custom
and ask the vicar of the parish when
giving out his notices at church to ad
vertise t lie cow.
"Yes, farmer," said the vicar, "I
should be willing to oblige you, but
you don't attend my church."
Presently, however, they struck a
bargain that the vicar should adver
tise the cow, and the man in return
promised togo to church. Now, un
fortunately the man was deaf, and on
the Sunday following when the vicar
gave out the banns of marriage be
tween Joseph So-and-so, bachelor, anel
Sarah So-and-so, spinster, the farmer
took it.for granted that the vicar was
giving out particulars of his cow and
shouted out:
"You might as well say while you
are about it that she is a most gentle
creature and entirely free from vice."
—Stray Stories.
Where Red Hair Is Disliked.
In Cornwall, particularly the Land's !
End district, it is not advisable to dub '
a person "a re-el haired Dane," thougli j
in most parts of England, especially
inland, the expression would as likely !
as not provoke no comment at all or be j
regarded as simply frivolous.
At a police e-ourt case hearel in ISG7
at Penzance town hall it came out in
evidence that the defendant had called
the complainant "a reel haired Dane,"
and this led to an assault. The strong
repugnance of Cornishmen to be dubbed
by this strange appellation is as strong
as ever.
The Celtic nations hated the Danes
and were always fighting them. And
not only in Cornwall, but also ail along
our coasts, where the Danes or Norse
men made their ravages, this deep
roeded prejueliee against people with
red hair, "red headed," more or less
remains ingrained in the national char
acter.—J. Harris Stone in"The Eng
lish Illustrated."
Meat Versus Song.
The great tenor's lunch consisted of
a cliee'se omelet, asparagus, fruit and
an ice.
"No meat?" said the reporter.
"As little meat as possible," the tenor
replied. "Meat kills song. The night
ingale, the thrush anel lark are grain
eaters, and their song is sweet. The
carnivorous birds, the crow, etc., only
croak. And in countries that go in for
excessive meat eating—England, for in
stance—there are few good voices,
while in the more vegetarian countries,
such as Italy, fine singers abound.
Song birds are vegetarian," he con
clueled. "Carnivorous birds croak." —

Where Water Means Life.
As illustrating the scarcity of water
in some parts of Australia anel the
high value set upon it. I would draw
attention to tlie case of three Afghans
who were murdered in West Australia.
Water was scarce, and yet these three
orientals washed themselves in a road

"Yes," saiel the would be author.
"I've taken a house in the country, but
