Spring Cleaning
Is suoh a trial that men say "Let tho house
take care of itself." But tho conscientious
wife feola bound to risk health and strength
In this annual struggle with dust and dirt.
The consequence of her fevorlah anxiety over
extra work Is depletion of the blood, the
source of all life and strength, manifested in
that weak, tired, nervous conditon too prev

A lot ot old mariners were sitting on
a pllo of freight at tho wharf spinning
yarns ot the sea—not of sea serpents
and hairbreadth escapes, but of the
troubles they had had with Inexperienc
ed crews.
"When I was a captain on tho New
York and Hong Kong clipper line I lost
my mate," said one of them, "and I had
to get a new one at Hong Kong. lie
lame well recommended, so he was giv
en the berth. Tho third day out ho
came down to my cabin, woke mo up
and explained that a gale was coming
up and he thought wo wcro carrying
too much canvas.
" 'AH right,' says I. 'Shorten sail n
little.' In about an hour ho came down
and woke me up again. 'lt's blowlu'
harder every mluute, captalu,' says he.
'All right,' says I. 'Take In some moro
sail and don't bother me any more. Use
your own Judgment.'
"Iu about an hour I felt the vessel
pitching and rolling about like a cork.
Things were hopping on deck and I
thought I had better get up. When I
got on deck tho only bit of canvas
spread was the main skys'l.
" 'I thought f told you to shorten sail,'
I roared at tho mate. 'Why didn't you
take lu that skys'l?'
" 'Well, says ho, 'I did shorten sail.
I took lu the biggest first, au' that beln'
:he smallest on the vessel, I let her stay.'
"Then I commenced Inquiring where
he had obtained his nautical education,
mil, bless my soul, If he had ever been
Dn anything but a Chinese Junk, where
they shorten sail from the deck up."

There Is the sea all around, and In
various shapes—a magnificent port In
tho Golden Horn—a broad, winding
river In the Bosphorus—and, again,
with Its Islands and capes, aud open
horizon, the Sea of Marmora, covered
with ships of all sizes, and showing
the greatest variety of flags I have
ever seen. Iu its beauty I think I
was disappointed; but not In its grand
cur. Then, when you get Into It, there
Is still plenty of Orlentul life to be
seen; there nre crowds, partly In a
state of tlio most perfect quiescence
aud meditative repose, partly In a
state of violent action—pushing, Jos
tling, and especially screaming and
yelling, with confounding energy;
there are veiled women, shoveling and
sliding along 111 their yellow boots;
there are turbans, and kalpaes, and
fezzes; there is also tho great estate
of the dogs, the free and Independent
dogs, who never get out of the way for
man or liorsc.
The Turks have been Europeanlzed
of late, and there Is a stupid mongrel
air about these crowds, and, with the
exception of some old-fashioned, grave,
proud-looklug, green and white tur
bans, who disdain to show their re
markably ugly legs In tight white pan
taloons and straps, the Turks look like
people who hardly know whether they
are standing on their heads or heels,
and tills, I believe, Is pretty much tha
case with them. They seem to in.
Uko people who are put out of their
way and don't know liow to bohave
themselves, as If Stamboul was trans
ported bodily Into Regent Street or the
Rue do Itivoll, and they feel in their
own city the sort of awkwardness nnd
soggezlone that they would feel In tho
West.—Life nud Letters of Dean

THE PLACE CALLED EASY STREET. |
Oh! what is tho way to Easy street—which
turning shall I go?
For many a day I've sought tho way that no
one seems to know.
How do you turn?—do you keep straight on
and get there just the same,
Or is it the ease that you find tho place by
chanoe and happy luok?
Borne say this and some say that, for every
one I meet,
Going it blind or searching to And, is look
ing for Easy street.
Easy stroot! Easy stroot! Tho stroot so
hard to And!
No sign boards show the routo to go savo
tho ways that lio behind,
But fortune's smile is worth tho while, so
novor know defeat,
When the very next turn for you may earn
the way to Easy stroot.
From little Queer street through Hard Times
Court to the Highway of Success,
Is the noare3t way, I'vo heard SDmo say, and
it is true, I guess.
So through Povorty Plaeo my way I traco
(with Queer stroot left behind),
But in Hard Times Court tho way's cut
short—it ends in an alloy blind.
In tho Lane of Chance I sometimes glance,
but tho risk scorns all too groat.
To turn and stray down its winding way and
blindly follow fate.
So, with courago high, I strive and try, seek
ing with weary feot,
My way to grope, nerved still with hope, tho
way to Ea3y stroot!
Easy street! Easy stroct! Whoro happy
mortals dwell,
Out of tho strife of work-day life and tho
battloa of buy and soli.
Wearing good clothes, having no foes, with
life's good things roploto,
Oh, happy fate! to dwell in state, at last,
on Easy street!
We will all of U3 livo on Easy stroot when
things have gono our way,
When fortune and fame shall attend our
name and loisuro comes to stay,
Through tho deed achieved wo'vo had our
minds tho long last year or two;
Giving us zest to finish tho rest of tho things
we-arc-golng-to-do.
With tho toil of those struggling days forgot,
and in our happlnoss all complete,
No trouble or caro will bother us there when
wo livo on Easy stroot!
Easy street! Easy stroot! Whoro the skies
are ulways blue,
And all of tho schomcs of our well-loved
dreams are over coming true.
Wo'll live at our ease and do as we plcnso
aud And that life is sweet
When through toil and pain at last wo gain
our way to Easy street!
—Puek.
JEAN'S HOUR OF TRIUMPH.
psSgl HEY all said it
l||y could uot bo done ;
s |ijf that is, all but
Joan. She insisted
that it could, even
WT/jf though Jack
"STUfc' UJ ranged himself on
the side of thoso
who called her
scheme impractic
able and foolish. And Jaok was uie
young fellow, a telegraph operator, to
whom she was to bo married the next
week.
When marriage was seriously dis
cussed as the end of their long oourt
ship, it had boon suggested that they
should either live with Joan's father—
Jaok's folks being in Connecticut—or
take a couple ot pleasant furnished
rooms until they saw their way to go
to housekeeping. Thon it was that
Jean gave tho first curious proof of
her woman's impracticability.
"No," she said, "I want to go to
housekeeping as soon as wo are mar
ried."
"So do I," said Jack, "but how are
wo to manago it? Sotting up house
keeping means turning your rooms
into a kitchen."
"No, I den't moan that sort of
makeshift housekeeping," interrupted
Joan. "I mean taking a small Hat,
furnishing it, and beginning life as
housekeepers on our own nooouut."
Jaok laughed rather uneasily.
"It's all very well to talk of furnish
ing," ho said, "but you know very
well, Joan, I haven't any money for
furnishing a flat, and I'm euro you
haven't."
"Well, I don't know aboat that,"
said Jean. "You koop what little
you've got saved up, Jack, aud add to
it as much as you can, dour. I'll
furnish the flut."
"You?"
"Yes, sir, I. I'vo got SIOO saved up,
and with SIOO I'll furnish a flat of four
rooms—parlor, bedroom, dining room
and kitohen—and I'll furnish it so
nicely that wo'll neither of us bo
ashamed to ask onr friends to visit us
in it."
At this Jack burst out laughing, and
thought it was so good a joko that he
told the old folks, and they had groat
sport at Jean'B oxpenso.
"That's all right," said Jean. "I
don't road tho newspaper advertise
ments and look into storo windows
and visit bargain couutors for nothing.
I want to tell you folks that right hero
iu Now York you can furnish four
rooms comfortably, nicely and neatly
for SIOO.
"Yos," said her mother, "with a lot
of second-hand stuff."
"No," ropliod Joan, "I mean with
all now, good material; aud without
especially hunting for bargains,
either."
"Well, now, look here, my girl,"
said her father, "inuybo you're right,
inuybo you're wrong. bertain it is
that things are wonderfully cheap
nowadays, but $lO0 —my, but that's
a small sum to do anything with in
New York. Now, see hero, Jean, I'll
toll you what I'll do. You go ahead,
piok out yonr four-room flat with
Jack, and then if you furnish it for
SIOO so that it looks neither poor nor
cheap, why, I'll givo you anothor hun
dred dollars, just to cultivnto home
talent, on the presentation of a re
oeipted bill for every artiolo in the
apartment."
"I'll do it," said Joan, stoutly,
"and, more than that, I'll do it in
throo days, and I won't ask a cent's
worth of assistance or advice from
any of you—not even of Jaok."
That was on Sunday. Tho flat was
found by Wodnesday afternoon, and
they saw very littlo of Jean for the
next three days. She was very quiet
and very tired oaoh evening, but her
mother took oharge of her simple
trousseau so as to give her some rest
ing time, and on Saturday evoning
when they had all sat down to ton Jean
said very quietly that sho should bo
very glad if they would go over with
hor to Fiftieth street to see her houso.
They saw that she was rather ner
vous, and so spoke of other things as
they wnlkod over from Sixth aveDue.
When thoy readied tho flat house,
Jean, who knew the value of effect,
asked the janitor if ho wonld not light
np for hor beforo sho took her people
up stairs, and tho janitor, who had
been taken largely into her ooufldenoe,
and was not a bit like most janitors,
willingly ran ahoad to attend to tho
illumination.
It had been a week's hard work of
finding and fitting for Joan, but she
was amply repaid when she saw tho
look of surprise which tho folks wore
when they walked into herparlor grow
into ono of wonder as thoy passod into
the bedroom, and deepen into ODO of
amazement as they saw tho dining
room and kitchen.
"Well, I must say it beats me," said
Jeau's mother, while her father pulled
hard at his cigar and felt for tho check
in his vest pocket as ho waikod from
room to room, and Jack gave her a
hug right beforo thorn all, and said ho
always knew sho was a wonder.
"Now, thon, my girl," said hor
father, when thoy hail mado tho grand
tour, "tell no how you did it all."
So Joan took thorn to the parlor, and
while tho others sat down sho moved
around, pointing out each thing, BIIOW
man fashion.
"Those curtains," sho began, "are,
of course, imitation Nottingham, but
tho pattern is copied from the real
article nnd thoy aro good enough to
begin with. The two jmirs cost $3,
and tho poles and rings, which I put
up myself from tho janitor's step
ladder, cost twenty-five cents a set.
This bookoase, oak with movablo
shelves, cost $2 ; tho books are mine
and the drapery is from an old cropo
neokerchiof. That table in tho oentro
cost $2.48, without the work basket,
of course, which used to bo yoars,
mother. The smaller two of those
three pioturos, which aro imitation
etchings in real white frames, cost
thirty-niuo cents apiece; whilo tho
larger ones, which is a good photo
gravure of a masterpiece, cost sixty
nine cents, polished oak framo and all.
Tho three rockers which you are sit
ting in, one plush seated, ouo with a
cobbler's seat, and the other a Shaker
pattern, oost just $7, and the draper
ies are my fichus. The two-cane bot
tom ohairs cost ninety-eight cents
apiece. The ornaments on the cabinet
mantelpieoe, imitation Venetian glass
and imitution Japanese vases, made, I
bolieve, in Birmingham, cost $1.04.
As to the matting, I may as well tell
you now that it took sixty yards to
cover tho three rooms aud tho bath
room, with several scraps left over.
In the parlor and bedroom I used a
forty-yard roll, which cost mo $3.57,
while tho dining room took one
twenty-yard roll, which oost $2. The
reason why I put the better matting
in the diuing room is because I knew
tho thin matting would pull up with
tho rolling of the tablo and pushing
of heavy chairs over it. Besides
which, you sec, I have covered a good
deal of the matting here—which is
cotton warp, mind you—with these
two J apanoso rugs which I got at a
bargain at $1.93, nnd this hearthrug,
which is not tho real thing, of ooursu,
but which looks Persian, and cost me
just $1.61. Tho portiorcs between tho
bodroom nnd parlor cost $3.23, al
though I could havo got a pair with
out tho fringo for $2.97. Aud now,
pray what do you think of my par
lor?"
"Very pretty, frosli looking, and
nice," said her mother.
"Good enough for me," said her
father.
3 [Jack,"without so much as by your
leave, gave hor another hag.
"Now, then, tho bedroom," said
Jean, drawing nsido tho portieres.
"First I thought I would get an oak
set, but when 1 snw there was running
water here aud that tho washstaud
would not ho nooded I very gladly
changed my mind aud bought this
white iron bed with brass trimmings
for $5.98, which included tho spring
mattress. Tho fibro mattress cost
53.48. Tho blankets (Saxony) 1 pickod
up for 98 oonts. Tho sheets and pil
low cases—aud see, mother, thero are
four more of oaoh in tho closet hero—
I bought for $3.62 for tho half dozon
of each. My towels, ouo dozon, cost
sl.lO. Those two chairs cost 60 cents
apiece. Tho bureau cost $0.65, and
tho mirror is good American French
plate, with real antique rings to tho
drawers of tho very latest design.
Those two l-ngs cost 84 cents, aud this
tabid with tho sprawly logs cost 69
conts. Oh, the counterpane cost 95
oonts, and you know Aunt Franc prom
ised mo hor ornzy quilt for 'dress-up.'
"My dining room noarly broko my
heart," said Joan, loading tho way to
that apartment. "X thought suro I
should havo to go beyond my limit.
Howevor, by dint of following up cer
tain newspaper leads, running my foot
off, and by a happy thought 1 man
aged it."
Tho clevor young woman had had
the tablo set with a light luncheon,
and it was while sitting down to this
that tho rest of the inventory was
gono over.
"This table, which has threo other
leaves to it, I would lmvo you know,"
said Jean. "cost mo 87.80. The four
ohairs in which we are seated cast (no
$2.10, real Cordova leather from
Philadelphia, and nil. These tum
blers only cost seventy-five cents a
dozen, and there aro plenty that are
cheaper, only I do like n thin glass to
drink out of, and 1 know you all do.
I got two damask table cloths for
$1.40, and one dozen napkins, quite
fair ones, only they're a little stiff,
you know, for ninety-nine cents, one
of those cunning prioes whero you
jußt miss tho dollar. Spoons I hod.
For crockery I bought a very neat
porcelain tea set for $5.46, and I
added six dinner plates, six soup
platos, two platters and two vogetable
dishes for $4.48. I was in despair
over a sideboard till I recollooted that
there was anothor cabinet rnantel
piooo here, so I determined to make
that do, together with a plain table,
which cost mo $1.25 —that ouo over
there with tho red cloth on it I mean,
tho cloth, I should tell you, costing
just thirty cents."
"By the way, Jean," snidJack, "who
laid your matting?"
"The janitor and I," said Jean,
proudly. "I paid him a dollar for
helping me, and gave his wife an old
dress to pay for the tacks. My kit
chen, as you see, is very simply fur
nished, and X intend to keep it so.
Tho stove cost $4, utensils $5.54, and
the table and chair just $2. Fortun
ately, there aro stationary washtubs,
and, as tho floor is painted, I don't
see any need to cover it, and," con
cluded Jean, with a whimsical smile,
"I don't know that I should have been
able to, even if I had wantod to. And
so, dad, thore's my $100; now whore's
yours?"
"Well, I must say, my girl," said
her father, "you've dono wonders.
But a bargain's a bargain, you know.
Let's see tho recipted bills first."
"Here they are," said Jean, bring
ing out a buudlo of papers, very much
thumbed and very much covered with
calculations in irregular pencil fig
ures.
So down thoy sat agnin, and, whou
tho old man had called out oach item
and Jack had set it down, thoy made
up tho following summary:
Parlor $23 01
Bedroom 24 G2
Dining room 00 32
Kitchen , 1161
Matting and laying 6 57
Portiores between parlor and bedroom. 325
Just as they were about to cast up
tho addition Jeau's mother cams in
from tho kitohen with a look of mis
chief upon her face.
"Tho landlord has provided wash
tubs," sho said, "but I don't see that
he has put in a refrigerator."
At that Jean turned pale, aud sho
began to tremble a little,
"Oh dear, oh dear," she cried. "I
do declare I forgot the refrigerator."
And when she saw failure boforo
her, and knew she was wrecked in
port, she laid her head on Jack's
shoulder quito distrossfully. But
her father came bravely to her res
cue.
"Hold herd a minute," ho cried,
"you're all right, Jean. You've mudo
a mistake hero. You've only spent
$99.99 and I'll sell yon our old re
frigerator for a cent and bo glad to
get anything for it."
And than he added this item:
One refrigerator 01
Total for furnishing four rooms and
bath $100.05
"Well for sure," he said, "that
$101) has gone further than any hun
dred I ever heard of. But tho best of
it is," ho addod, "that anybody in
New York enn do the same thing.

A Cough That Slew Thousands.
Beccnt history proves to us that it
was a cough that was mainly responsi
ble for the irainonso amount of blood
shed that attended the coup d'etat
whereby Napoleon 111 obtained his
throne. Tho field marshal in charge
of the military operations was unwill
ing to assume tho direct responsibility
of or.loriog tho troops to fire upon tho
people. So when tho moment of ac
tion arrived, and tho mob began to
show signs of sweeping the troops, the
generals under his orders sent an of
ficer to him at headquarters for in
structions. Just as the Hold marshal
was about to respbnd ho was seized
with n violent fit of coughing, which
lasted several moments. When at
length ho ceased, ho managed to gasp
tho words, "Ma sacree touzl" ("My
cursed cough!") The offioor waited
to hear no more, but returned post
hastotohis superiors with tho news
that Baint-Arnaud had said, "Massa
crcz touz r'C'Mussaoro everywhere?")
These commands being carried out,
thousands of peoplo wero shot aud
bayoneted in consequence.
Barbaric Splendor ola Modern Prince.
Tho appointmont of Priuce Lobaa
off as Chancellor and Foreign Minister
of Russia has occasioned new storios
of tho barbario splendor of his life.
With a lineage prouder than that of

dulged himself in au independence
that -once led to the snubbing of a
grand duko. Ho is a man of vast
