A NATURAL MISTAKE.
It Mmlo tho Pat .Unn Madder Tlinn
a Thin Skinned Rogue Lleplmnl.
From the Chicago Post.
The thin man laughed Immoderately,
and the fat man naturally wanted to
know the occasion for It.
"Why, every time I see you," ex
plained the thin man, "I think of tho
remark my boy made."
"What was It?" asked the fat man
rather doubtfully, ns If uncertain as
to the wisdom of making such an In
quiry. "Ho wanted to know If you were the
baby elephant."
"If I had a boy who didn't know any
better than to make fun of a man be
cause ho was fat I'd thrash him," as
serted the fat man with some empha
sis. 'Oh. so would I," returned the thin
man promptly. "I know now sensitive
fat men are as to their size, and I
would have walloped the boy If I had
thought he was referring to that, but
I know he wasn't. You see, when ho
made tho remark he was looking
straight at your ears."
If the fat man had not been consti
tutionally lazy the thin man would
have had to fight or run.

Alny Snvo Liven nnd Reduce Doc

by tho IIousowllo In This Sonaon of
General Renovation.
From tho New York Tribune.
A powerful disinfectant like copperas
Is needed in the spring to clean out the
plumbing and thoroughly purify It. In
nlmost every house that Is attached to
a system of sewage there Is an outsldo
drain that Is certain to need disinfec
tion early. For this purpose dissolve
a pound of copperas In six quarts of
boiling water, stirring It thoroughly.
Pour the solution down the drain, be
ing careful not to spatter It, as It Is a
powerful poison and will permanently
stain everything It touches. Should
any crystals of tho copperas remain In
the bottom of the dish it was dissolved
In add more boiling water and dissolve
them. Do not attempt to dissolve the
copperas In any vessel of tin or other
metal. An old whitewash pall or some
wooden dish that will not bo used for
any other purpose Is the best thing to
mix It In. After disinfecting the drain
clean it with a whisk, and keep It free
from dirt or any foreign substances
that may stop It up. The closets about
the house should be disinfected In the
same way as the drain.
A strong preparation of washing
soda and boiling water should be
poured down tho drain pipes of the
sink nt least once a week If any amount
of greasy water passes through It. All
the ledges and Inside of the sink should
be scrubbed with a whisk kept for the
purpose. It Is necessary to keep watch
of the floor In the vicinity of the sink,
where bits of food may fall, even if one
Is not guilty of the supremely slovenly
trick of keeping the garbage pall there.
The garbage pall should be kept out
doors and should be emptied dally, and
washed out after It Is emptied, so that
there will be no chance for it to be
come foul and odorous. The plan of
burning the garbage Is often advo
cated, and where there Is a small quan
tity this Is possible. Rut In summer,
when melon rinds and fruit and vege
table peelings accumulate, It Is not pos
sible to destroy the mass In the kitchen
stove without serious Injury to the
stove nnd an odor which will pervade
the whole house. ,
DISPOSING OF REFUSE.
The best way to dispose of this refuse
In the country Is to put It In a pit each
day, covering It with a little earth, and
adding a mixture of lime and washing
soda In equal parts. Properly burled
1n this manner the mass becomes
rotted, and In six months or a year
will be the most valuable kind of fer
tilizer for a flower bed or vegetable
garden. Thus nothing Is wasted, as It
Is In burnlpg. Old bones or refuse of
any kind can be thrown In this pit, and
If properly treated with soda and lime
will all become In time reduced to an
even mass. Old Connecticut farmers
saved everything they could for such
a compost heap as this, and It enabled
them to eke out a considerable crop
from land that was too often at tho
start barren.
Where there are farm animals a
great deal of the waste of kitchen Is
valuable food for them. It Is tho waste
that Is of no other use that Is used In
the compost heap. Such a heap should
be Mtuated at a distance from the
house In some available spot. So valu
able Is this waste for a fertilizer that
small German gardeners in the vicin
ity of a great city gladly call for it,
ostensibly for the "pig," but In reality
for fertilizing their celery beds and
other more valuable vegetables. Flow
ers exhibit wonders of bloom created
by a dressing of this kind, properly
mixed with the earth.
HOLIDAYS Till: WORLD OVER.
In Lntin-Amorlcnn Countries Pooplo
Work Only Work 200 Dnys n Year.
A computation made a short time ago
showed, says the Sun, that among
European countries tho two In which
wages were hlchest and the hours of
labor least were England and France,
whcieas the two countries In which
wages were smallest and the hours of
labor longest wore Italy and Russia.
In some countries of the world an ex
planation of the apparent dearth of
progressive Industry among the In
habitants la to be found, perhaps, In the
recurrence of holidays of a religious,
patriotic, or purely social character,
and many persons who are familiar
with tr.o industrial usages in some cit
ies of South and Central America, say
that there the numbor of holidays
teems to exceed the number of work
ing days. There nre In such' countries
usually no fewer than a doyen church
festivals; and there are besides pa
triotic fesllvnl3. A similar state of af
faiis exists :n all Latin countries, and
Is to be found In the United States,
too, when one turns to the legal festl
vlls of Louisiana. There Is the holiday
of Jan. S, commemorating the battle of
New Orleans; the MardI Gras on March
2, in New Orleans; Confederate Me
morial Day in April, Good Friday, All
Saints' Day, Election Day, Louisiana
Labor Day on No. 25, and Thanksgiv
ing and Christmas days. Florida cele
Urates the birthday of Jefferson Davis;
Texas, tho anniversary of the battle of
San Jacinto, and Alabama, the dny of
Mardl Gras. Deducting the Sundays
and holidays, the number of working
days In the United States, exclusive of
the Gulf states. Is 305. In Russia there
are 207 working days; Great Britain has
27S; Portugal, 283; Spain, 290; Austria,
202; Italy, 298: liavarla, Belgium and
Brazil, 300 each;Denmark. France, Nor
way, Saxon, Switzerland and Wurtem
burg, 302 each; Sweden, 304; Prussia,
nnd IreUnd, 305; the Netherlands, 30S;
Hungary. 312.
It has been found Impossible to get
any uccurate figures from the South
American countries, but 200 Is tho maxi
mum estimate of actual working days
In many of them. Of course, if th?
number of Sundays bo subtracted from
tho total number of days In a year
there are left 313, and If onc-thlrd of
the other days available for work aro
sot apart for holiday purposes It Is
perfectly clear why there should not
bo moro than 200 working days In a
year. In Anglo-Saxon countries and In
the United States tho special effort of
working men has been not to reduco
tho das of labor, but tho hours of
labor In each day, and thus there hns
been within the last twenty years a
larger reduction, really, of working
tlmo In thu United States and In Great
Britain than In tho Latin or Latin
American countries.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Vnlunblc Information for the House
wife of r.cnnoinlcnl Ideas.
Matting should be swept with a soft
mnttlng brush, piled with the grain
of the weave. To catch tho flying dust
that makes a matting laid floor one of
the most difficult to sweep clean, a.
newspaper, wet and crushed and
pushed before tho broom, Is recom
mended. Before putting towels In .the clothes
hamper see that thoy are properly
dried. Frequently servants are blamed
for clothes becoming mildewed, when
upon Investigation It will be found
that towels from tho bath room have
been thrown while damp Into the gen
eral hamper.
Short lengths of Ingrain or three-ply
carpet make convenient rugs for many
places. Finish the ends by fringing the
carpet out four Inches. Coarsely but
tonhole the fringe part with some of
the ravcllngs and tie the fringe Into
knotted tassels. With tho ravellnss
make tassels and fasten them between
the tied tassels.
Macaroni served In the Italian style
means simply boiled mncaronl over
which a highly seasoned brown gravy
Is poured, grated cheese- being sent
round with tho dish. The gravy Is
nicest made by cutting up In two-Inch
pieces some lean, Juicy beef from the
round and simmering In a little water
Into which a fried onion is put. Strain
and thicken, adding half a dozen chop
ped mushroons.
"Cooked celery" Is a dish that Is not
very much known, but It Is, neverthe
less, very tempting when properly pre
pared. One way to fix It Is to cut nice
tender celery Into line bits, say a
cupful of the celery to a pint of milk.
Put the celery to cook In Just enough
water to cover It, and let It simmer
almost dry, then, when tender, put
the milk over It, having made It hot
first, and stir In a tablespoonful of
butter, Into which has been worked
smoothly a teaspoonful of flour. Stir
all tho time till tho flour Is cooked.
Salt and serve hot.
COST OP LIGHTS.
A Comparison of tho Rclntlvo Cost ot
Different Artificial Systoms.
From tho American Architect.
The director of the Electrical com
pany, of Cologne, has made a com
parison of the cost ot the different sorts
of artificial light, reduced to the same
standard of Illuminating power. As
the cost of materials for Jjlumlnatlng
varies In different localities, he has
taken the price of coal gas at ninety
one cents per thousand cubic feet; of
alcohol, for use In Incandescent lamps,
at thirty cents a gallon; of coal oil at
fifteen cents a gallon, and of electric
ity, at one and three-quarter cents per
hectowatt. Supposing the "mantles"
of the Incandescent gas burners to last
four hundred hours, and to cost fifty
cents each, and other apparatus to
have the average life, he finds the most
expensive ordinary light to be that
from Incandescent electric lamps.whlch
costs ten cents per hour for a given
amount of Illumination. Next comes
the light from ordinary gas burners,
with openings In the form of sllts.whlch
cost six cents for the same illumina
tion. Argand burners are, light for
light, about 20 per cent, more econom
ical than the other sort. Next to these
come Incandescent lamps burning alco
hol, which give light at half the price
of the ordinary gas burner. Ordinary
coal oil lamps give light much more
cheaply, the cost per unit of Illumina
tion being little more than one-fifth
that of Incandescent electric light; but
the modern gas lights with Incandes
cent mantles arc still more economical,
furnishing for one and three-quarters
cents per hour the same amount of
Illumination as Incandescent electrlo
lamps at ten cents. Electric arc lamps
are about 10 per cent, more economical
still, and are the cheapest sources of
artificial light at present known to us.
A TRANSATLANTIC MONSTER.
Tho Largest Freight StenmiT in the
World About Duo in New York.
A mammoth freight steamer, the
largest now In use In the world, and
the largest ever constructed, with the
exception of the Great Eastern, will
soon reach New York at the completion
of her maiden voyage. She Is owned
by the Hamburg-American Line, and
was built by tho Harland & Wolf com
pany, in Belfast, Ireland.
The name of this queen of freight
vessels Ib the Pennsylvania. She Is 508
feet long, 62 feet beam, 42 feet deep In
the hold, and hns a displacement of 20,
000 tons. Her dead-weight carrying
capacity Is nearly 14,000 tons. Speed
Is furnlshrd by quadruple expansion
engines with about 7,000 combined
horse-power, designed to develop a
speed of fifteen knots. Accommoda
tions aro provided for over 200 cabin
passengers and for 1,500 steerage pas
sengers. The first cabins are above
deck, amldshlp, the second cabin aft
and the steerage passengers aro quar
tered on the main deck and the upper
deck amldshlp. An extra deck above
the saloon deck contains tho dining and
smoking rooms. The illustration shows
the Pennsylvania's great bulk as com
pared to the pioneer transatlantic
steamship, the Savannah. Tho Savan
nah was about 150 feet In length, with
a 25-foot beam and made her first trip
In 1819.

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Htrcot Review.
New York, Aug. 21. Tho dominant ten.
dency of today's stock market was still
distinctly reactionary, notwithstanding
tho fact that the day's trading resulted In
a fractionally higher average of prices.
There was a latgo falling oft In the vol
ume of .trading, and the rally which
brought prices up at tho close was on
comparatively light purchases by tho
h'ort Interest to cover over Sunday, The
market was to a largo extent In tho
hands of professional traders. Leath
er, preferred, was conspicuously stong all
day on tho rlso in tho price of the prod
uct. Sugar was active and gained lalU.
over tho low point. .The rally extended
to li In Burlington, 1V4 In St. Paul, 1 In
Reading first preferred nnd a point In
Tobacco and New Jersey Central. Tho
total sales of tho day were 157,025 shares.
