Housewives lo not always realize tliat
they liavo a prominent pint to play in
this grave ipicst ion of the day, tho "dis
posal of garbage. " Tliat responsibility
lies v itliin tho domestic threshold, and
to consign tho collcvtion of waste to tho
Scavenger is not tho lim't of hrr power
nor tl self satisfying conclusion. What she
consigns docs not concern her, and this
"beto noir" found in every part of tho
land, a subject fraught with almost in
Rnrinountablo diflicnltics to thoso whoso
business it is to find a healthful and
quick disposal of garbage, )s fur nioro

is willing to acknowledge. Wo must go
back of tho garbage can to find the cause.
American extravagance isproverl)ial tho
world over. Wo provide with a lavish
hand. Unskilled and indifferent help
vrasto accordingly. Kxjenditnre for foul
in a largo percentage of the middle and
lower classes is estimated to tako very
often fully three-fourths of tho income.
Actual consumption and benefit derived
from quantity supplied is notably small
in the wealthier families.
Convincing proof is found in the over
flowing garbage cau. Lack of robustness
among n certain class and tho amount
of debility afflicting a majority of peo
ple prove to investigators a want of
proper nutriment to build up tho over
wrought body,whioh must endure somo
how the strain nud stress of Amorican

Tho unintelligent methods of poor
servants, unskilled in handling food, is
ono cause of tho effect It is considered
their prerogative to vastowlmt does not
suit their fancy. "Leavings" which may
bo tho best portions from tho mistresses'
table are not palatable to their taste, and
so good material is speedily hidden from
sight, more is called for, and a haphazard
supply to keep Bridget good naturcd
furnishes bor with an abundance to
overflow ash cans, clog pipes, cliol.o
traps, fill cesspools, draw vermin and
offorcnltnroas a medium for tho ubiqui
tous microbe. Noxious odors offend not
trils and dangerous effluvia jeopardise
health and obstruct sanitary measures.
It is just this waste in tho world that
hns been tho rnnsn of plairnc.n, pesti
lences and diseases. It is wasted time,
strength, money, happiness and, too of
ten, life. Baltimore American.
Tim Nnrrl of Rpllulnn,
I heard long ago of mi enterprising
tradesman who desired to have the Old
Testament at least broken into n scries
of romances. By others, very likely
inurii less pious men, no version of these
narratives can lie tolerated except the
ancient original versions. Vet many
renders or hearers are so familiar with
these, or think themselves so familiar
(they would probably break down under
examination), that something moro
"spicy" is required by them. I have
read an American novel about the love
affairs of .lmlas Iscnriot and Mary Mag
dalene. It did not interest me, I own,
but it did make inn laugh. Probably a
moro pious student would have lieeti
edified. Thoro is no accounting for
tastes. Perhaps no Biblical novel has
ever won critical upplanso or been reck
oned n piece of literature. But such
novels hit n largo class of readers whose
tastes iu other matters is not always
bad.
It Would tie interesting to know what
the wits and critics of tho restoration
thought and said about "Tho Pilgrim's
Progress." Probnbly they never looked
into tho cheap lit t lo book at all, tho
book which has outlived Ktherego and
Sedloy and Rochester and the rest of
them. Of courso it does not by any
means follow that every religions novel
read by tho peoplo who do read such
things and neglected by critics is on a
level with Bun van's masterpiece. An

So Womanly.
That the vnys of woman nre passing
strango wns ngain proved by an incident
on a Main street car last evening. A
gontloman arose to offer his scat to a
lady who bad just entered with her lit
tlo bny. Seeing tho seat vacant, she
sent tho boy to occupy it, whilo sir.)
clung to a strap. Sho was evidently
very tired and would havo enjoyed a
soat, bnt preferred to care for her son
first. Presently n lady left tho car, and
tho one standing took her scat. Next to
her was n serving maid with a pretty
baby ou her lap. Tho lady asked per
mission to hold it, and the request be
ing granted sho cooed and talked and
played with tho child for a half hour,
uttorly oblivious of hor own boy's jeal
ous cries and frantio efforts to attract
attention. Cincinnati Tribune.

was the usual modo of punishment in
thoso days. The matter was investigr.t

It is worthy of remark that tho mag

Dotes tint Paul .Tones expressed great
sorrow for lm'.::g had tho man flogged,
although the charge of cruelly was fully
disproved. Uo returned to Scotland once
nfUr this-, and although nfl'eotionatelv
roeuived by his own family his friends
and neighbors eccui to have treated him
coldly. Tho smart from this injustice
turned tho Indifference ho felt for his
n.itivo land into hatred, and over after
ho considered himself quito free from
any responsibility for having been born
and having spent tho first 13 years of
his lifo in so inhospitable, n country.
In his twenty-seventh year a great
and fortunate change, occurred to him.

Jones was often afterward iu want of

bered that everybody was iu want of
ready money in the eighteenth contury.
Certain it is, from his papers presorvod
at Washington, that ho might bo consid

of independent fortune.

Colonel Woodworth told sonm gnod

that Butler himself told him tis Into ns

why ho was deprived of his military
command by General tirant. It was
only a few years n;;o that Woodwovth
got tho facts from Grant's brother-in-law,
Major Dent, v, ho was tho staff
officer sent with tho orde r for Butler's
relief. Ho said that whilo no rrr.son
was openly given at tho time, Butler
was octnally displaced beeanso ho wan

would not appear on tho face, of it to bo
n sufficient eauso, but Grant explained
it to Dent one day in tho courso of a
confidential interview.
"If," said he, "I were to send But

his army, ho might obey and ho might

to reason himself into tho belief that I
might havo given different instructions

so that I could never tell just what ho
would do or whero ho would bo at n

any systematic campaign, and I had to
replaco him with a West Pointer, whose

MILLIREN'S!
"WIS TJULL
T.H33 Tlt'UTH.
JUDGE - US - BY - OUR - WORK!
Judging from the big crowds continually surrounding our clothing counters, and from the masses of people that crowd into our store daily, would lead a person to
believe that there is no other clothing hou?o in the town. Why? Because we tell the truth and show the goods to correspond with our advertisement. Truly we save every pur
chaser big money. Gentlemen who read our advertisement came with great expectations and not one of them went away disappointed nor dissatisfied. Of course our success has
stirred up a lot of imitators who have attempted by misrepresentation to pull the trade towards themselves, but misrepresentation is one thing and truth is another. Thetruth that tells
in this case, is that no such values in clothing are obtainable in any store in the county, only at MILLIRKN'S, as wo are now offering.
Our f di'm er purchase of clothing was only an infant when compared with the mighty invoice that arrived last week. That we sold, in the beginning of our former
sale, more tsuits of clothing in one day than any other houso in tow n, is a true fact. '
When some of our customers eonio In and neo Iheso
IlaivaiiiH they exclaim. " How do you sell so cheup V Thut
is easily answered. Wo buy from two of tho most famous
factories in tho world and pay (rash and sell for cash. Unliko
all other clot hiers. wo ilon t rely on l'rintcr'b Ink to make
our sales, but lot tho good toll their own story.
HIGHEST CLASS!
Kvery fastidious and most particular divs.-vr knows
that we m uke. a specially of highest class lvady-to-wcar
suits, goods that havo been nindo from the. Choicest Imported
Woolens, cannot bu bouteti by tho most, uxpnsiwi tailor
work. Comparison or theso yo. ids is out of tho question us
no other clothing house takes tho risk of handling such extra
hie;li quality goods.
.All "Wool!
Kvery well-posted wearer of men's wearing nppiiivl in
lleynoldsvilli; knows there Is no place where moro honest
cloihlnjr values are obtainable than at MlLMIiKN'S. Ho who
Is well dressed is well satistled, If ho don't pay too much for
his clot hlnjr. An ill-fitting irormcnt is dear at. any prion.
Good clothes um worth what they cost if bought at a
reliable clothing houso like MlI.I.IHEN'K.
NO FAKE!
In thuso days of fako advertisements wo. ileum It wise
and expedient to btato tho fact that what we miy is true,
and wo stuto it boldly und in such a, way that it cannot be
misconstrued: tho superiority of the nir.terials of oiir
tfomls speak for themselves.
