A housekeeper who uses milk in
stead of soap in washing dishes, says
the method is fur superior to any
other. She says: "Fill a dish pan
full of hot water and a cup of milk.
It soflecns the hardest water, gives the
dishes a clear, bright look, and pre
serves the hands from the rough skin
Of chapping which comes from using
soap. It cleans the greusiest dishes
without leaving the water covered
with scum."

The Tenth Census.
Of the United States is now practi
cally finished, and the final figures
were given in dispatches last Satur
day. It is regarded as being the most
accurate und complete ever taken in
this country. The total population of
the United States is 50,165,783, an in
crease since 1870 of 30 per cent. With
the exception of obtaining statistics of
ship building, the quarrying industry,
the production of petroleum, and the
resources of Alaska, the field work of
the 10th census is practically finished.
The disbursements for the census
thus far have been $3,800,000. Con
gress will be asked to appropriate
$540,000 additional, including $330,
000 for the payment of the volunteer
clerical force.

Measuring Dressed Lumber.
A planing mill owner recently sub
mitted the following to the North
western Lumberman:
Flense stale through the columns of your
valuable Journal tlie rule or customary
ways of measuring lloorlim, and celling as
It goes to the pinner. Nuinely, If a board 1b
bI Inches wide and twelve feet long, would
It be measured as having six feet of contents
-hen It comes from the maehlne? Again:
Ii a board be twelve feet long and six inches
wide as sawed, but so crooked upon its edges
that an Inch In the width must he lost In
dressing, would It be measured us six feet, or
as but ttve when dressed? In other words,
will you give us the customary rules for
measuring dressed and matched colling and
flooring?
To which that journal replied:
Lumber passing through the machine
is measured as though in the rough.
A six-inch strip of course loses in its
width by dressing but it is customary
to call it a six-inch strip still when
computing it for measurment and sale.
Before the days of machine dressing,
a purchaser bought his lumber iu the
rough and handed it over to his car
penter to prepare for laying on the
floor. He did not ask the manufac
turer to sell it to him for what it would
absolutely measure when dressed,
neither did he expect the carpenter to
pay for the decrease caused by
dressing. This was a loss which was
as much a contingent necessity as was
the loss of ends or widths in boards
which must needs be cut to fill a cer
tain place in the work. It was a loss
which was figured for in the estimated
cost of the material needed for the
building. The introduction of ma
chinery did not shift the responsibil
ity of this loss; It simply provided for
doing more cheaply and efficient the
labor which had hitherto been done
by hand. The loss remained the same,
aud upon the same party. Hence no
change in the custom of measuring
took place on the introduction of ma
chine dressing.
The second proposition of our cor
respondent, however, introduces a
differeut element. If a board is
crooked, it must be measured straight,
if entitled to measurement in the
grade for which it was intended.
Usually crooked lumber loses iu
grade, but if passed, can be measured
only for what it will make. If it is a
wedge strip, It is to be measured at its
narrow end, for it can only make so
wide a piece of flooring as can be
manufactured with parallel lines. If
it is crooked so that an inch is lost iu
making it straight, the loss falls ou
the manufacturer at the saw mill, not
upon the planing mill, and only to the
reasonable extent of ordinary loss in
dressing upon the purchaser of the
planed lumber. Such a strip as our
correspondent describes should be
measured at five inches in the rough,
and would be considered as a piece of
five inch flooring when matched aud
dressed. This rule holds good iu all
markets of which we have knowledge.
Some People "Never Drink."
On the sleeper of an L. F., and W.
train recently, a traveler noticed an
old, white-bearded gentlenan trying to
get in a linen duster. The young and
spry traveler rushed to his assisaance
and in helping him with his garment
noticed a good-sized whiskey flask
protruding from one of the inside
pockets of his coat. Being of a wagish
nature, he appropriated the bottle,
got the coat on uhe stranger, and
then pulling out a flask, said:
"Will you tnke a drink?-
The old man did not recognize the
bottle, aud, drrwing himself up, re
marked, rather severely:
"No, sir; I never drink."
"It wont hurt you,'' insisted the
wag. "It's the best.''
"Young man," said ths old gentle
man, intended for all iu the ear to
hear, "if you persist in drinking
whisky you will be a ruined man at
forty. It is the curse of the land.
When I was a boy my mother died
and the last thing she did was to call
me to her bedside aud say: 'John,
swear to me that you will never touch
a drop of liquor.''
Here the old man clasped his hand
on his side pocket, found it empty,
and recognized the bottle in the hands
of the other, heeontinued:
"Except, my dear boy, an occasional
snifter while traveling."
And reaching for the flask he pressed
it to his lips, amid a howl of laughter
which shook the whole car.
"Suppose." says that keen but
somewhat panicky observer Rigolo,
lu the New York San, "that the public
feeling of uneasiness were to become
reflected in the bank statement by a
large decrease iu the deposits, what
would become of the sanguine Wall St.
speculators? The long and increasing
list of commercial failures forbode-s
nothing good, andthe gossip of busi
dess circles is that moro collapses are
inevitable. Indications of this kink
should certainly not be disregarded,
however prosperous the country may
appear to be."
George Law, who died a million
aire on Friday, began life in Troy, N.
Y , without a friend iu the world.
One day, while passing along River
street, a hod-carrier who was carrying
bricks for the masons on an unfin
ished building, fell from, the ladder
and broke his leg. Young Law
stepped up to the foreman aud said,
"Can I have that man's place?" "Did
you ever carry a hod?" asked the fore
man. "No." "You will break your
leg, and perhaps your neck." "I will
run the risk," said George Law. and
from this beginning he became one of
tbe wealthiest builders in the United
States, always "running risks," but
Tor many years everything he touched
turned to gold.

VERWELL, M. D., author of the

consequences of Self-Abuse may be
effectually removed without dangerous
surgical operations, bougies, instru
ments, rings, or cordials; pointing out
a mode of cure at once certain and ef
fectual, by which every sufferer, no
matter what his condition may be,
may cure himself cheaply, privately
and radically.
