scolding Ss mostiv a haoit, It is | ofte: e result of nervousness, and an irritavle condition of both mind and body. Al ym is tried or annoyed at some | triv.a cause, aod forthwith commences find fault with everything and every— pod within reach It 1 wstoni#bhing how 800 ie becomes addicted to it, and covfirwed in it. It ie an woreasoning and upren-onable habit. Persons who once get ino the way of scolding alweys fiad somecting to scold about. If there is nothing else, they begin scolding at the mere aosence of anything to scold at. It je a» extremely disagreeable hxbt. It it contagious. Once introduced into a famiiy. it ie pretty certain in a@élo.i time to effect a'l the members. Pew ein the ¢ yuoiry more readily tall

into ine nabitof scolding than people in the town. Women contract the habit more frequenty thao men. This may be because they live i a more confined atmosphere, very trying to the nervous syste and the health iw general, and it may be partly thattheir natures are more suscepiible, aod their sensitiveness more easily wounded, One cause of irritability is the drinksag ot stimulants. Anotherc suse ié found in indigestion and dy epepsiz. But bad air is undoubtediy to be held as the cause of many scoldia#gfs which would never have Occurred ip well ventilated apartments. If the reader has acquired the habit of scoldiay , and really wants to be rid of it, she should try toremember each time she feele provoked that it only makes her look foolis!: inthe eyes of the person spoken to and those around, and ie the source of dis- comfort and unhappiness. By getting inte the way of speaking kind words, which peverilir, and seeking to benefit rather than w.uod others, she will escape much displessure, and in time eutirely lo e the practice of speaking barebly.

Montreal Gazette: Mr. Laurier seems to have deemed it necessary to make an allience with a section of the Conserva- tives, and the price he has to pay is ine'uded in the prize he promised to Mr. Langlier. There is no occasion in Canaia today for a coalition. There is no good purpose to be gained by one. There ig posection of the Conservative party likely to be influenced by it in favor of the pre-eot Government. There is, as Mr. Langlier’s words sthow, a considerable section ofthe Liberal party likely to be influenced agaiuet Sir Wilfrid Laurier by any deal he may may make with o!d op ponents.

Elevating the Painter.

A Scotch journal says that a certain well Lnown painter went to a seaside vil- lage to paint a picture and put up ata small public house. One day while in his reom he heard a commotion, and on run- ning down stairs found that the chimney was on fire. Twoor three men were try- ing to put out the fames by sweeping the soot down with brooms, but the *!s7e was tou high to be reached in this manner. Scciug -helr ;c~t of success, the painter ‘caught upa thick mat, ran with it to the roof, and, climbing up the stack of chim- neys, placed it on the top of the one that yoo on fire. Hts idea was, of course, to obstruct the draft. It happened thata stiff breeze was blowing, and, as the mat was in danger of being blown cff, the art- ist sat on it to hold it down. .He was just comfortably seated when he found himself lifted bodily and landed upon the tiles of the roof. What had happened? That was more than he could imagine till he went down stairs. No one knew that he had gone aloft, and when the landlord saw that sweeping down the soot was ineffec- tual he tried the old fashioned remedy of lighting a charge of gunpowder. This it was that removed not only the soot, but the mat and the painter

Spain's wretched showing in agricul- tural pursuits is said by the British consul at Cadiz to be due to the use of primitive implements of the time of Julius Cesar.

Five Hundred Years Hence the Windy City Will Stand In a Great Lake.

Chicago has troubles ahead of her—none of your ordinary, everyday troubles, but the real thing in mental disquicters.

True, it is 500 years off, but must be considered Rrofessor G. K. Gilbert of the United al survey is responsible for For a number of years the professor has been making notes of the

rise and fall of the great lakes from his own observa‘'fons and from the records of the government surveys. From these he

declares the waters at the lower end of Lake Michigan rise six inches in each century and that the lake is preparing to overflow its southern edge te the infinite discomfort of the Chicagoan of the future.

If his figures speak truly, the whole dis- trict covered by the great lakes is under- going a change of level, and he believes it will only be a matter of time before their outlet into the Atlantic is closed and a new one through the basin of the Missis- sippi is opened. As the land in the pmeigh- borhood of Chicago is the lowest along the lake shore, it is there Professor Gil- bert has located the outlet of the future. But as the waters only rise at the rate of one inch in ten years, it is plainly to be seen there is no immediate danger to the Windy City’s real estate valuation.

In fact, 500 years will have elapsed be- fore the cry of the gondolier will begin to be heard in the waterways of the western Venice and the clang of the cable car ig hushed forever. Then the real trouble will begin. And in another such trifling period —for years are as but seconds in the pre- dictions of the professor—the formation of the new outlet from the lakes to the Mississippi will have taken place, and over the site of the Chicago of today a mighty river will be flowing.

After Chicago has been disposed of the professor predicts trouble for the Niagara Falls hack drivers and newly wedded cou- ples. The latter will have to scek new fields to exhibit themselves in, and this will take away the sole support of the for- mer. In 2,500 years from now Niagara will be merely an intermittent stream and after another 500 years there will not be even a rivulet there.

The only consolation remaining for Chi- cago in all this is that, even if New York does exist, she won't have Niagara at her doors any ‘ouger.

Hamilton's Dueling Pistol.

In the parlor ef the Roy homestead, in Superior, Wis., is the pistol with which Alexander Hazsniltcn fought Aaron Burr on the banks of the Hudson in the year 1806, and the mate of the weapon with which Aaron Burr took Hamilton's life on that occusion. The owner of the relic is Margaret A. Roy, widow of Vincent Roy.. Mr. Roy was one of Superior's pio- nees, and over 2@ years ago, upon the oc- casion of a visit to the town of a party of southern and castern speculators, the pis- tol was prescnied to hiia by ex-Senator J, B. Beck of Kentucky in return for a favor conferred hy My. Roy. Mr. Beck received the weapon from a relutive of Colonel James Bale, and subsequently loaned it toa friend, who used it during the cfvil war. Colonel Boyle received the pistel, together with its mate, from Judge Van Noss, who was Burr's second during the duel with He .uiicon.,

The ©: rr pistol, which fs an exact cupli- exte of the other, is vow owned by Louis Marshall, con of Colonel Thomas Marshall ef Vermont. It has changed hands many times, and finally got into the hands of Colonel Narshall after passing through the Mexican and civil wars. Both weapons were marked by Colonel Van Ness to in- sure identification, the Burr pistol with an “X,’’ to signify that it had killed one man, and the Hamilton pistol with the character “‘Q"’ above the Initials ‘‘A, H.”’ The pisto! owned by Mrs. Rey is of the old flintlock, horse pistol pattern. Although made of good material and well finished, it is a clumsy looking affair compared with the pistol of today. The barrel is 12 inches long and carries a two ounce ball, while the handle is heavy and extremely difficuls to grip.—Chicago Times-Herald,

Not Religious and Not Fussy.

‘When I came out on my regular trip the other morning,’’ relates the Lee stage driver, ‘‘the only passenger I had was ac old lady of very demure manners. I was most dead for a smoke, but I had sort of got it into my head that the old lady was @ religious and a fussy party. When we got along a piece, however, I got te finger- ing my tobarker and, by snum, I just couldn't resist the temptation. So I turned round to the old lady and asked her if she hed any objection to my taking a whiff or two. She straightened up alike a mon- key on a stick.

** “By golly, young man,’ she shouted, ‘you've hit me just where I live. I’ve been a hankering for a smoke all the morning. Gimme a match.’ ?

“She pulled out a black T. D., andl tell you, mister, me’n that old lady made the stage look likea steam engine going up a grade.’’—Kennebec Journal.

Wales and Lady Romney.

Wales gets huffy with women on ac- fount of the slightest trifles. Though on the most familiar terms with them, he will turn them down remorselessly. It is @ shame that he should possess the power. Here is an instance: One night he was talking to Lady Romney at a ball. “I hear, Lady Romney,’’ he leered, ‘that — Romney has a nickname. What is

Instead of answering the question Lady Romney said, ‘‘Sir, I hear that you are called ‘Tummy.’ Is it true?’’

Without @ word he turned with a scowl and walked away, leaving her an object of rude attention.—New York Press.

“re OVERCOME BY SMOKE,

The Danger of Fighting Subcellar Tlres In New York.

In the series of articles on the New York fire department in St. Nicholas, Mr. Charles T. Hill contributed ane.on ‘The Risks of a Fireman’s Life.’’ Mr. Hill says: At a subcellar fire that occurred one nights few years ago, on lower Broad- way, I saw over a dozen men laid out.on the sidewalk, overcome by the smoke. <A grewsoime sight it was, too, with the dim

| tieures of the ambulance surgeons, lan-

terns in hand, working over them, and the thick smoke for a background.

These were brave fellows who had dashed in with the lines of hose, only to

be dragged out afterward by their com-

rades, nearly suffocated by the thick, stifling smoke that poured in volumes from every opening in the basement,

Over 150 feet of *‘dead lights,’’ or grating, over the sidewalk had to be broken in that night before the cellars were relieved suffi- ciently of the smoke with which they were charged to allow the mento goin and extinguish the fire. This required the combined work of the crewsof five hook and lacder companies, who broke in the ironwork with the butt ends of their axes—the hardest kind of work. But the newspapers the following morning merely gave this fire a {0 or 12 line notice, men- tioning the location and the estimated loss, and adding that ‘‘it was a severe fire to subdue.’’ No word of the punishment and suffering the men were forced to face before this fire was under control; no mention of the dash after dash into the cellar with the heavy line of hose, only to be driven back to the street by the smoke, or to be dragged out afterward nearly un- conscious; nor of the thud after thud with

| the heavy axes an the thick iron grating

that required 20 or 80 blows before any impression could be made on it. This was muscle straining, lung taxing work that the average man has to face only once in & lifetime, but the firemen in a large city have it always before them, and each tap on the telegraph inmay mean the signal to summon them toa tusk that requires the utmost strength and nerve.

Muscelar 5vusrens.

It is astonishing what a large number of kings and other rulers have been fa- mous for their physical strength. The late czar of Russia and the late Ger- man emperor were both remarkable for their strength of body. The latter, in fact, thought sufficiently well of his powers to oppose himself to Sandow, who wrestled with and defeated the monurch with difficulty.

Augustus II, elector of Saxony, was aman of immense strength. He once seized a man who had concealed him- self in the royal sleeping apartment by the waist and flung him ont of the win- dow into the courtyard beneath.

Maurice, count of Saxony, a natural son of the above elector, was as noted as his fatber for his feats of strength. It needs no small amcunt of strength in the fingers to enable one to twist a long, thick nail into a spiral. This Maurice did and afterward used it as a corkscrew to open bottles of wine ata luncheon. At another time, while stop- ping at a farrier’s to have his horses at- tended te, he broke half a dozen of the man’s horseshoes by the strength of his hands like so many biscuits. Tiat Mau- rice was equally strong in other parts of his body is shown by the following:

While traveling on foot in London he had an altercation with a dustman. The dispute developed into a quarrel, which the count terminated by seizing his adversary by the head and throwing bim over his shoulder into the mud part, which was standing near.

Dairy and Creamery. |

Vegetable gardeners have found there is refuse enough on their farms to feed several cows, and that keeping them pays well in connection with the added fertility which the cow brings to the soil. A butter factory in the vicinity of 2 large tract of vegetable gardcus is the right thing. Where there is no cream- erv and the vegetable raisers have a re- tail trade they can add delicious butter, eream and pot cheese to their goods and make money in two Ways.

A milk aerator is a necessity on every farm where cows are kept. So is a milk cooler.

An expert declares that after a butter tub has once become moldy it is impos- sible even by steaming and sandpaper- ing ever to clean and purify it again.

Put up in big letters at the entrance to every door in the creamery or 1m your

likewise in the cow stable, the sign, ‘‘No smoking. ’”’

The co-operative creamery at Shafer, Minn., is a most successful one, selling some months over 8,000 pounds of but- ter. During last June its patrons got 14 cents a pound for their putter, and the creamery used up 750,000 pounds of milk.

When cheese isin the curing room, every day when you turn it brush all the surface over very thoroughly and stiffly to rub off any eggs of the cheese fly that may have been deposited there. The cheese fly is fond of laying its eggs in cracks, and these must be very care- fully watched. If skippers make their appearance in these cracks in spite of your care, cut the walls of the crack entirely out to remove every egg or skipper. Then get some soft cheese and fill the crack out even with the surface.

The Story Teller. In eastern countries, in place of our story- writers, they have professional story- tellers. It is their art to interest their listeners with tales of love, and marvelous adventures, and hair-breadth escapes, and magic cures. There’s a story of a wonder- ful medicine that has made thousands of cures that seemed almost magical, which every woman should read or hear. To have heard it or to read it, may save a wo- man her own life or that of her husband.

The medicine is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful spe- cialist, for thirty years chief consultin physician to the great Invalids’ Hotel ae Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. It is known as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery. It makes the — hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and rich, the nerves steady, the brain clear and the body strong. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consump- tion and diseagzs of the ajr-passages, It tires viérvous diseases and is e best med- icine for overworked men and women. A woman may save her husband’s life by keeping a bottle ir the house, and gettin him to resort to it when he feels oaor sorts. All men are heedless about their health. Medicines stores sell it. Doctor Pierce’s reputation is world-wide, and his fellow townsmen, of Buffalo, N. Y., think so highly of him that they made him their representative in Congress, but his great love for his gene caused him to resign that honorable position that ae might de- vote the remainder of his life to the relief and cure of the sick.

Another good thing to have in the house is a vial of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They cure biliousness and constipation and never gripe.
