The Tramp's Trade Mark Wns Not Pretty
hut Impressive.
From the Heading Herald.
"A tramp was arrested and brought
la fore the burgess of Itcllefonte, charg
ed with defacing private residences. He
had been caught scrawling cabalistic
llgurcs upon t inventor Curtin's hand
tome stone mansion, and the governor
was present ut the hearing, only as a
spectator, however, and not as a prose
cutor. "I am not a tramp." said the prisoner,
when asked to give an account of him
self. "1 am a coul miner out of n Job,
and I am working my way from Pitts
burg to Schuylkill county. Them marks
are signs."
"If that Is the case, what do the signs
mean'.'" (iierled the burgess.
"They might not mean nnythlng to
a gentleman like you," wns the reply,
"but tu every hungry man who travels
the road they are plainer than print.
They will tell blm when he comes along
whether It be to-morrow, next week or
next month, that the man wlm lives In
tlmt bouse will always give a man a
squnre meal for the asking."
'Despite all the honors that have
from time to time been paid to nie,"
said the governor. In speaking of the
Incident, "It was the proudest moment
of my life when that poor devil spoke
up for me In the burgess' olllce here In
my own town."

It Is said that no class of people suffer
more with rheumatism than farmers
and yet the remedy for this dre.id dis
ease is. or should be, right at hand.
If celery were eaten inure freely, sjf
ferers from rheumatism would. It is
said, be compai ativcly few. It is a mis
taken idea that cold and damp produce
the disease; they simply develop it.
When celery Is uton largely, an alka
line blood Is the result, and where this
exists there can be neither rheumatism
nor gout. It should not only ln i.itrn
raw, but cooked. Cut it Into small
pieces and boil till soft In as little water
as possible. Add to this a little rich
milk, thicken slightly with Hour, and
season with butter, pepper and salt.
The tender haves and small ends of
the stalk, which are usually thrown
away, should he used for soups; cut
line and used for vegetable soup, or dry
the large haves, crumble them to pow
der nnd use for seasoniip; other soups.
And no part of the celery need be
wasted.
The sanitary arrnngemer.t of hotels
Is thus proscribed by a particular
French savant, who fears that as at pres
ent conduct, propagate disease germs.
"First of all," he says, "ea.lt gmst
room should afford air In proportion
to the number of persons occupying It,
and should be well ventilated and
sunny. The walls should lie hard-finished
or coated with an Imnrrmr.ihlc
paint which can be washed, nnd. so
for as possible, nil corners should be
rounded to inak them accessible to
washing. Moldings, unler-.i rounded,
should be discarded. Carpets should
be rigorously prohibited, and a parnttef
floor, which ran be washed, substituted,
or a covering of llnoltum of tin artistic
and pleasing design used. An advan
tage to be gained by this la the abolish
ing of the spaces which always exist
between tine boards iff an ordinary
wooden Hour. If the tiaveler desires to
be more conifortuhie, he can have a
movable carpet or rug, on condition
that after his departure It la luateu
nu1 passed through a disinfecting bath
before It is uscilngaln. Thesamoptwau
tlons should be taken with regard to
carpets. In rooms tlmt nre not very
much used a heavy linen covering can
bo Btibstltuted for carpets, which can
be sent to the wa-h like clothing. For
the same reason curtains should not be
tolerated, except those that can be
washed. White ones nre preferred, as
the monotony can be relieved with a
border of embroidery In bright colors.
Heavy materials, like plush and velvet,
Bhould never be used. The furniture
should bo very wimple In design, so that
It can be cleaned easily. Wooden furni
ture, wardrobes, bureaus, nnd toilet
should be vnrnlshed or waxed or, If
perferred. lacquered. Chulra should
have caned bottoms. Thus It Is pos
sible to cotifornx strictly to -hyglenic
laws, and at the same time piesvive ci
artistic appeal nee."
"I-'vety where, where it is possible,
brass or iron be.lso.ius should ivpla.-
those of wood. Toilet articles, i speeiu!-
j ly the glas-- should be wash, d every
I day with the greatest care. After t'r.a
I departure of u patron th-y should be
I washed in an antiseptic solution, sueii
as a half per cent, solution of corrosive
I sublimate, and the be.ldinjr, towels, etc..
boiled in alkalini:?ed water. After ;i
room has hern occupied by an invalid.
all tin- bedding and other linen should
be sent to the disiu'ivttng bath, and the
walls, boards, and furniture suhmttii:,
to antiseptic washing and nntis,-.:io
spraying. These precautions should
not only apply to the bedrooms, but
extend to the different rooms that the
patrons have used, although with less
strictness. The curtains of the parlors,
where they renin in but a short time, da
tint reouire such rigorous treatment.
Ncvei lheless. draperies should he avoid
: ed and carpets prohibited. The same.
precautions should be observed in tha
dining room. Here particular rara
should be given to the washing of tha
glasses, the forks, and the spoons. ThiS
former, after each meal, should h
washed In an antiseptic liquid, and af
terward well rinsed In clean water, ntul
the latter in boiling water. The vestt
l-ules. halls, and stairways should ba
without carpets, and should be wipej
every morning with a. cloth wet with an
antiseptic liquid. The closets should b
large and well ventilated, nnd have,
proper appliances for flushing." This
done, hotels would, this authority
thinks, lie reasonably healthful.

"Chronic asthma" Is sometime curel
by ehaii'dng one's resilience. If one be
young and has no inherited tendency to
the affection there Is a greater chance of
being cured. The shortness of br. a'h
and palpitation of the heart which affects
one thus indicted, when walking and
climbing stalls, will be cured by taking 10
drops of the tincture of nox vomica in a
little coll water) after each meal and
at bedtime.
