The china should never be mixed with the cooking and kitchen utensils and dishes. The latter should be washed first nnd put away. Then the soup plates should he held under run ning water or plunged Into a pan of clean water nnd plied together. The meat and fish plates and entree dishes should be thoroughly scraped, rinsed like the soup plates, and each kind piled together. The dessert dishes should follow the same course. Cups with fragile handles should occupy an Isolated position on Hie dish table. Spoons with bowls all pointing one way. ami knives and forks should be laid in separate heaps. Two good sized pans, one for washing nnd one for rinsing, and a dish drainer are nil needed, nnd should be placed In po sition, with soapsuds as strong as the hands will bear In the dish washing pan. First wash the glassware, then plunge it quickly Into the hot water in the rinsing pan; place it In the drainer and dry, and put it away ns soon as all are washed. .Next wash and dry the cups and saucers in the same way and put them away. Then wash, wipe and put nwny the sliver, cleaning Hie teaspoons llrsl. All the other dishes can be washed, rinsed and drained together. Water just below the boiling point should be poured over tlu china to rinse It.

Flotli U Ilnlr In, "I.nugh nnd grow fat" Is n saying that contains a deal of truth nnd Is worthy of nttel.tlon by tunny sufferers lu body as well as In -mind. We Instinctively associate Jollity with rotundity nnd a sour disposition with n spare form. The rule Is, of course, not without ex ception, for we often see people with little propensity to take on fat who lire full of fun and sunshine. Such persons are not boisterous, however. They nre possessed, It mny be, of a quiet humor, nre happy nnd make oth ers happy, nnd they smile ns easily and perhaps laugh softly; but they do not laugh loud. The convulsive movements Hint we call laughter exert a very real effect upon the physical organism. They cause the arteries to dilate. so that they carry more blood to the tissues of the body, nnd the beait to bent more rap idly, so that the flow of blood through the vessels Is hastened. In other words, laughter promotes the very best conditions for an Increase of the vital processes the tissues take up more nutritive material, nnd the waste prod ucts are more promptly removed. Not only Is laughter an accompani ment anil an expression of Joy, but It even creates Joy. (.flen n good laugh, excited In spite of one's self, will change Hie current of thought and Impart a general rosy tint to what was before the deepest blue. This happy effect Is due in part to the brain and Hie consequent better working of the Instrument of thought, and partly lo the fact that when 11 menial state and 11 physical act are associated (the physical state being usually Induced by the mental net) the performance of the physical act, even If nt first perfunctory, will lu time Induce the nicutal state corre sponding to It. The doctors have hardly yet learned what a valuable curative power there Is in laughter. It Is n precious and beallh-glving Ionic, often more etllcu clous than bitters or Iron and fur plcnsantcr to take. Let the d.vspeptio.tho bilious, the met uucholy and those who seem to ho wast ing away without any discoverable cause take 11 course of funny stories and humorous books; let them retire lo their closets or to the woods and laugh out loud for a few minutes two or three times a day. and when they have done this n month or two let them tell their friends the secret of their improved health. Youth's vui-pauiou. !, , Mm Snveit Her Companion. When the given dntn nre a ennoe, a young woman and a young man, it Is not very surprising If something In teresting happens. There Is nn uncer tainty about the situation that Is ns far as possible removed from the hum drum. The young man generally knows how to swim, or he wouldn't be risking his own lire and the life of the young woman In a fickle little ca noe. The young woman doesn't al ways know how to swim, neither Is she always noted for great presence of mind. It Is lu the latter regard that the heroine of 11 recent accident excels. The young man lu the case was an oxpert with the puddle. His coat, in the pocket of which reposed his watch and his purse, lay In the bottom of the canoe. Suddenly, from some unex plained cause, he gently aud complete ly fainted, falling headlong Into the water. The canoe, of course, respond ed by capsizing and sending the young woman In turu after her disappearing lover. Now, lu the ordinary sequence of events, If a sailboat had llgured, each would have drowned. The young woman's first thought as she struck the wnter was to save the coat and watch and purse. She caught the coat and held it. In one hand. Her next Idea was hint she must get hold of the canoe and of the young man. In sonic way she managed to do that, keeping the young man's head above the water, holding fast to the canoe and saving the coat till help came. The strange part of it all Is that she couldn't swim a stroke. New York Sun. Ha Wa !rlrul." There are many ways to comfort the unfortunate, says Tlt-I!lts. One of llie most original of them is recorded by Sir David Duiidas, once a Circuit Judge of England. Ill tllu earlier half of (he century, In many of the rural districts, there was but one session of the courts during the year, and It con sequently became the Judge's duty to make a clean sweep of the prison ers' cases before a session ended. Sir David had just llulslied n session at Scarborough, and Hie court was about to be closed, when the goalcr approached. "What, Your Honor," said he, "Is to be done with the man who created a disturbance lu court last year? Your Honor will recollect thnt you com-, mltled him for contempt." "(iood heavens!" exclaimed Sir Da vid, who had, of course, only com mitted the prisoner for the day. "Hus the man been routined for a year? He lease hi 111 at once." The goaler performed his mission, and then the Judge anxiously inquired what the man had said: "Well, Your Honor," drawled the goalcr, "I told him I had known many a man transported for much less and he was very grateful." A Wateh That Strikes tha Hour. Bettlna has brought a dainty little watch from the Purls Exposition as 11 souvenir of that mud, merry fair. It Isn't n French nor even n Swiss watch, but was made In England. It Is the ordinary sl'w of a woman's watch, the face measuring an Inch nnd u quarter across. The case Is plain gold. Hut there ends the ordinariness of the little timepiece. This dainty lit tle watch strikes the hours and the quarters ut the pleasure of the wear er. It Is provided with a repenting action, giving the time nt any minute ou pressure of a spring. This new chiming toy is called, rather awkward ly, a clock-watch, and Is considered quite a marvel of mechanism by ex perts lu horology. New York. Com mercial Advertiser. A Horn 1. 1 nr.

TIT II K splendid road conditions I 1 existing 011 the continent of I Europe can be duplicated "J" here. The question Is one for the people themselves to solve, nnd It Is actually being solved 111 the I'nlted Slates to-day by the voluntary action of communities lu various sections of (he country. For example, writes (Jcncrnl Hoy Stone, In the New York Jourtinl. I heard that there were some especially good stone roads being constructed in the State of New York, so I went there myself, and to make sure thnt t should make it thorough test, I went In the midst of 11 January thaw. I got 11 pair of horses and n light buggy lo test other roads around the coun try nnd I found that with a great deal of difficulty I could drive over them. Hut In the section where the farmers had been building the stone roads I found that two tons of hay were be ing hauled with two ordinary horses on a common narrow-tired wagon. I said to the farmers: "How did you get started lu this business of building roads''' They said: ''We started It ourselves. We thought we could do something, as our dolus are full of stone, with stotiu fences along the road, so we scraped together enough money to buy n rock crusher, hired au engine to run it, ami arranged to bring in the stones ami haul back tho crushed stone." They have actually gone so far ns to petition Hie Legislature for the privi lege of Increasing their taxation be yond what tin' law allowed, and the result Is that all the farmers in that township are anxiously waiting for the ronds to be extended Into their particular neighborhoods. I said to them: "Doesn't this pile up your taxes?" "Why," one farmer said, "In this one week, by the advan tage of having these stone ronds nnd getting to market with my hay, when it sells nt n good price, my teams have earned $." every day, while my neigh bors' teams on the other roads are eating their heads off. We could not nfford not to have these roads; we do not care anything about the taxa tion." A bright statistician, taking the rail road returns of freight and the amount of It that Is hauled over the public roads, makes the needless cost of mov ing the farm products of the I'nlted States to lie ?i!imi,(MK),(XM) a year. Professor Lutta, of Perdue Univer sity, Investigated It from the point of view of the fanners of Indiana. In that State they have some good roads not the highest class of ronds, but about ten thousand miles of very good gravel roods. He found from the re ports of the farmers themselves that the difference between good and bad roads was seventy-eight cents an acre annually ou their farms. This, taken all over the farm nren of the I'nlted Slates, would make K.tHNi,. (XM). I took a broader view of it, and sent out letters to the 10,001) farmers in the United States who had been so looted as the best representative men to gather statistics for the Department of Agriculture. Taking the proper- cost to be the present cost to the farmers lu the good roads district of New Jersey, where there nre actually ns good roads as nre found In nny part of Europe. I found that the cost of hauling over the ordinary roads of tho country Is Just about three times ns much ns the cost of hauling over good stone roads. Where a load Is three tons on good roads It is one ton on the average farm roads. POPULAR SCIENCE. A llaalnea Proposition, The steady progress of the good roads movement among farmers shows the sillily that Is being given this very Important economic question. Speaking of the necessity for highway improvement A. 11. Choate, Vice-President of the League of American Wheelmen,' says: "Every person who is nt nil famil iar with the business of a modern railway company knows that but a fraction of Its money and employes are engaged lu actual hauling of freight and passengers from one city to another. We know that millions of dollars and thousands of men are employed by the railway companies to secure suitable terminals and to handlo freight and passengers when not in actual transit. And yet no man can bo found who Is so foolish ns to think that 1111 immense railway busi ness can be profitably conducted un less the best modern railroad bed and track nre provided for that part of the business which consists of haul ing goods nnd passengers. "So it is with the vast agricultural business of the Uultml States. Al though most of the work Is done ou the farm, a large part of It consists ki hauling freight, and every well In formed person kuows that n good wagon road for railway business Is ono of the most Important facilities for doing this business. It Is too late In the progress of eveuts to argue this proposition." ood llonrii. Huts would be eradicated by filling with harder material; the surface could be smoothed by scraping with a wagon tire drag If no better tool were available. Chuck-holes would be tilled with broken stone, or with gravel, or with clay and sand, or with the best quality of material available. Maintaining a smooth surface for the escape of waler Is all that Is neces sary to prevent softeulng of llie road surface, even with earth roads; keep ing the road carefully crowned, smooth uud free from ruts la more effective lu disposing of "the greatest enemy of good roads" than the most elaborate system of f'oiindatious and under drainage, but tho necessary smooth- uess can be attained only by continual watchfulness. Excessive dustiness could be allayed by tin occasional sprinkling, but the distribution of tratlic, made possible by the smooth surface, would decrease tho wear uud nlso the necessity for sprlukllug.

The balloons carry self-reglslcrlng thermometers and barometers nnd nttaln enormous heights, varying between 40.000 nnd riO.OOO feet. The highest flight record ed by the Instrument Is nearly nine nnd one-third miles.

Dr. Thorvald Thoroddscn In recent pnpers gives a curious picture of life ntjd scenes In Iceland. Settlements nre limited to the lowlands, yet even these nre not safe places of abode, for they nre exposed to lava floods, river Hoods and showers of vocanic nshes. When the glaciers of the dome shaped mountains are suddenly melted by volcanic bent, overwhelming tor rents, iH'arlng Immense masses of Ice nnd fragments of rock, sweep down the river beds. Yet with all their disadvantages the Inhabitants of the narrow lowlands of Iceland enjoy uni versal education, and among them more books nnd newspapers are pub lished per head of the population than In any other country. Professor It. II. Thurston, of Cor nell University, calls attention to the fact that since the Spanish war the manufacture of chilled-Iron turrets for coast defense has been established In this country. He regards the "chill ing" of the surface of cast Iron so as to give It a hardness exceeding that of tool steel as "one of the most re Uiarkablescientltic achievements of the time." The chilling of cast iron for car wheels has long been practiced almost exclusively in this country, lint, although It Is at bottom nil American Invention, the use of the process for making turrets for coast defence has hitherto been developed only In Eu rope. Professor Thurston remarks that Amerlenii Iron is the tllicst lu the world for tills purpose. Coquetry of Cuban Women.' There Is nn Innate coquetry about a Cuban woman that shows Itself even lu the least prominent of bows she ties. Her clothing Is always dainty, and Is frequently adorned with the needlework of her own lingers.
