"I remember," suld nn old naval offi cer, "henrlng of nn Incident on bourd of n Blilp which wns roiniiinnded by a religious cn;tiilii who would not ullow the mate to use profane language or violence toward the crew and where the work and discipline were can-led on more by moral Huasion than by force, with the remilt that things went very Plowly. The men did not Jump to the braces or ropes, nnd the general work of the ship was slow. "While at anchor one day In the har bor of Itlo two of the sailors, leaning over the rail, were watching work go ing on on board of another ship an chored close to them, where the oppo site system prevailed. The nlr ou that silp was lurid with the language of tho mate, and tho men were treated with a violence tlmt was far from necessary, but the work went on quickly. The sails were furled and tho yards braced In a smart nnd seamaullke manner. As they listened to the sulphurous or ders of the mate one of the sailors ou the good ship remarked sententlously to the other: " "Hill, d'ye see now what It Is we want aboard here? We wnut a little cnvourngeineut!' " C'uptil nnd the llrrrulla. "Cupid is one of tho best, lerrultlng officers that I'ncle Sam has," eonUilcd one of the sergeants attached to the re cruiting headquarters. -Back of near ly every enlistment there Is n woman In the case. Lovers' nuarrcls chase u lot of line lads Into the service. Vour romantic youth gravitates to the re cruiting olllciT after a serious break with his sweetheart as naturally as a duck takes to water. It seems to him the most lining way lu which to saeri llce himself when love's young dream Is apparently dispelled. Way down In bis heart he nursed the Idea of making bis erstwhile Inamorata sad, and it's t!ie army or navy, with the possibility of death In battle, for hliu. Again, other first class material Is recruited by the desire of young fellows to sport u uniform before their girl;,. In such cases Cupid does his recruiting through lanily.

A patient (Jerman scientist of a sta tistical turn of mind calculates that the amount of energy expended by a person who coughs once every quarter of nn hour for ten hours Is equivalent to 250 units of heat, or the nourish ment yielded by three eggs or two glasses of milk. Coughing Is thus seen to be nn expensive luxury. The rea son for the waste In force entailed by it, or one reason nt least, lies In tho fact that, while lu normal respiration the nlr Is expelled from tho chest nt the rate of four feet n second, In vio lent coughing it may attain a velocity of 300 f cot.

A New Idea in This Line Which Should Do lt Work Well. Tucrs are countlfiss of d.b.vuusli 1 1.3 machined ou tho markul. Mo.st of thoia are lurge tubs or tanks lu vliich the dishes are placed and ro tate 1 by mechaulcal means until they tro supposed to have been cleansed. Tho now Idea is constructed on a dif ferent principlo. At the extremity of a hollow handle are two brushes, each circular In form, and one con tained within tho other. To the linn-' die Is attached a tubo leading from a water faucet. A dish Is hold in one hand by the person doing the washing and the brushes are pressed against the several surfaces to be cleansed. A spring pressed by the thumb al lows a stream of water to be thrown against the dish through the brush and the washing process thus be comes simple and effective. About the Dish Cloth. The dishcloth In many homes Is a breeding place for microbes and con tains more disease germs than almost anything else of the same size. Cheese cloth bags. In which salt and sugar come, make good dishcloths. It is a good plan to have two sets for con stant use. They should be thoroughly washed every morning In hot water, to which has been added ammonia, soda or washing powder, then rinsed and hung in the air to dry. Use them on alternate days. Besides it is well to rinse them each time after using and boil them once a week. If they acquire an odor burn them. Reading for Children. Children should be first taught to read, how to read, what to read and to love reading as a means of enrich ing their minds. School work should center in reading. It is the key of all learning, since human thought is con centrated therein. A great variety of reading should be provided, even for the little children, since the day of one reader in tho lower grades Is past. Inasmuch as the great majority of pupils nevor reach the higher grades It is necessary to inculcate th reading habit in tho lower ones. Buttons on Wrong Side. Attention was drawu by Dr. James Shaw at the Ambidextral Culture so ciety to the singular fact that the buttons of feminine clothes are on the wrong side or, rather, since wo men may maintain that it is men's buttons which are wrong, that men's buttons ore on the right side of the wearer and women's on the left. Thi3 peculiarity Dr. Shaw ascribed not to feminine perversity but to the fact that those who Bet women's fashions wero supposed to have maids to dress them, for whom this position was more convenient. Time For Fitting Shoes. It la well to remember that the feet are apt to spread a little after the ex ertions of the day and so are a little larger at night than In the morning. If new shoes bought early in the day feel uncomfortable when they are iit on at home that is the trouble. This spreading of the feet should always be taken into consideration when try ing on new shoes. Also the feet are larger in 6ummer than In winter, as they expand when much hea'ed. " The Matchmaker It Is a common thing to deprecate a woman for being what la called in common parlance "a matchmaker," but If Bhe possesses tho necessary qualifications of discretion and tact she is an almost Indispensable ad junct to social Intercourse and may prove the greatest be- i to lovers who lack time and opportunity to bring their affections to a successful issuo. Don't Sweep Invalid's Room. Do not try to sweep an invalid's room, but wring a clean cloth out of cold water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added and care fully wipe tho carpet, matting or floor, turning and rinsing the cloth and changing the water as It gets dirty. Hot Baths Weakening. Very hot baths aro usually found to be weakening and should bo taken nt rare Intervals. Moreover, hot water used on tho face frequently will make the complexion yellow and tho fienh flabby. Charcoal for Burn9. Powdered charcoal, If laid thick on a burn, causes the Immediate abate ment of the pain. A superficial burn can thus bo healed in about nn hour It is well to have two or three pairs of shoes, at least, on lirn 1, nnd tn change them as often rs possil ie.

Parisian seam stresses, milliners nnd lingerie work ers. These women come here to save tho price of a 'dot' out of our high American wages. It takes from two to five years to do that. In all that time they never mix with Americans, never visit a theater, never make tho first attempt to learn the language. Some of thetu go to the French church on Sundays; otherwise they never leave their rooms except t; shop. This prenuptlal period In New York Is Just a time dropped out of their lives. They talk of nothing day after day but what they'll do when they get back to Furls and begin to live again." What Our V.yeu Do Not See. Suppose that our eyes were attuned to the vibrations revealed to us by the bolometer. Instead of Hiving the stars that we now see wo should perceive those whose light has long boon extin guished, whose existence the methods of modern physics have enabled us to prove. The sun would appear surround ed by its corona, changing lu form nnd position every Instant, nnd we should no longer be obliged to wait for total eclipses to study this phenomenon. Cur rents of hot air would become visible like snow sipialls, and the science of heat would bavo no more secrets. Tli- nod of Aaron.

It Is a foolish notion to suppose that tho ringing of bells or "tanging" of tin pans will cause n swnrin of bees to settle, says Country I.Ife In America. The lt'nl origin of this custom dates buck to tho reign of Alfred tho (Ireat, who, In order to prevent disputes re garding tho ownership of u swnrin, or dered that the owner should nlways ring a boll when his bees swnrtned, nnd ever since then the good fanner's wife 1ms boon rushing out with ringing bells whenever the bees swarmed, nnd the fact that they settled verified, in her own mind, the belief tlmt the bell did it Fool 1 11 ir Diiby.
