VIM, Viov2, VITALITY RESTORED
IN 30 DAYS GOOD EFFECT3 AT ONCE,
Syracuse Rejoices In One That Is Causing a Fierce Strife.
The leaning tower of Pisa has a pro- #>type in America. It is more than 200 feet high and at the base is two-thirds
that number of feet in circumference.
At present it is 18 inches out of plumb and during a heavy storm sways back

| and forth like a willow wand, says a | Philadelphia |
correspondent of Times.
This remarkable structure is built on the grounds of E. C. Stearns & Co. ac- cording to a system invented by Sanford E. Loring, an architect of Syracuse, where the tower is located. By bis sys- tem heavy timbers are braced continu- ously and connected by iron shoulder | plates, which take the place of the skel-
eton steel construction.
the
supporting wall in any sense of the term. The tower is unprotected and has to take the force of every gale that blows,
It is just now the cause of a fierce strife in Syracuse because the people de- clare that it is an imminent source of danger and liable to fall at any mo- ment. Architect Loring, however, says that if it was 13 feet out of plumb, in- stead of 13 inches, it would still be as safe as a church and that people might walk about, under and around it all day and be in no more danger than in the Mammoth cave. The Syracuse common eouncil avers that the tower is a public menace, and the architect in ‘reply holds that it is perfectly intact and safe and that it will stand any strain likely to come in the future.
The Stearns tower has only become of the leaning variety at a comparatively recent date. The circumstance that brought it into prominence in this role was a hurricane, or, as some call it, a tornado. In any event, it was a tremen- dous wind, the fiercest and the fastest which even the oldest inhabitant of Syracuse ever heard of. The wind came from the southeast, striking the tower upon the faces. In its velocity iramense trees were torn up by the roots, the roofs of great buildings were twisted off and torn away as if they had been cf half inch plank. Buildings in their en- tirety were lifted up and smashed into kindling wood, but though the big tower swayed from side to sideas if un- derstanding that it was made to bend anc not break it did not fall.
On the top of this tall tower is a wa- ter tank, and this tank contained at the time of the storm its normal contents— 10,000 gallons of water. When the sterm was over aud the sunlight shone again, hardly a gallon of water had been lost from the tank so far as ap- pearances indicated. The tower, how- ever, showed the effect of the terrific blow. Before the storm happened the structure had been as straight as a Brit- ish grenadier, but now it was found it bad been twisted upon its axis and bent

over so that it Jeaned in as great a de gree as the famous tower of Pisa.
There are ons or two breaches in the walls, and some of the window sashes are in a woefuily dilapidated condition, but otherwise it seems to bein very good shape indeed. The space between the third and fourth stories and the sixth and seventh seems to have suffered from the storm the most severely. The sole fact that saved the tower from dem- oliticn was the peculiarity of the structure, which is curiously arranged iron work. The brick wall that seems to form the structure is, as stated, sim- ply veneer, and ‘he holes that the storm rent through it indicate forcibly what would have been the fate of the struc- ture had the brick entered into its com- position more largely. As it is, it is the strangest specimen of what clever archi- tectural work will stand, and before the common council and the Stearns people are through with the war it is | making it all promises to become one of | those legal fights that will godown into history as events in which every one is interested.
Wolves In France.
The commission of the French budget has allotted 10,000 francs to be employ- ed toward the extermination of wolves during the coming year. In 1883 this service cost the government 104,450 francs; in 1895 it cost 17,700. Since 1882 the government has paid out in wolf bounties sums varying from 50 to 200 francs, a total of 595,920 francs. This sum represents the killing of about 5,000 wolves. Ooncerning this item in the budget for 1897, a French paper says; ‘‘Evidently there would no longer be any wolves in France if they were not recruited from Germany and Italy, | for, with the exception of the wolves of | the Spanish Pyrenees, the animals are | barmless enough arJ will run at the |

Before removing anything the location of portraits, pic- tures and furniture was carefully index- ed for the benefit of any changes which may be made whereby the home may become permanently a Whittier memo- rial, so that they can be restored as in Mr. Whittier’s days of occapancy.

The Housemaid.
A comely, tidy maid, gowned in blue and white in the morning and black and white at night, if imbued with your cor- dial warmth and consideration for others, will Jearn to be a sort of expression of the spirit o! the house. The way in which she widely opens the door, as if hoping the guest will enter, will be a vicarious wel- come. A door barely opened, threatening to close, as if there was a suspicion that the ovecroats were unsafe, is notan uncom- mon piece of bad manners, and a servant with discretion enough to show you the respect to allow you to enter if you desire, or if an old friend, or ‘‘a cousin from the country,’’ to make you comfortable, to take your wraps, stir the fire and offer you acup of tea, is a jewel only to be found where the atmosphere js full of cordial friendliness. Such aoneat dinher abso- lutely appeals to you to partake by her deft handling of the dishesand gives by her bright watchfulness of your likes as.d dis- likesa sense of personal care which is com- ically gratifying. —Philadelphia Ledger.
The Teapot.
A terrible mistake of housekecpers-is to leave the coffeepot and teapot on the back of the stove to steep all day. It is a frv.it- ful source of dyspepsia and indigestion. Never set tea aside unless jn a glass jar or pitcher for iced tea. Heated over, it is simply vile. Coffee, if you must economize that way, should be poured off into a bowl or pitcher and covered closely. Over the grounds pour acupful of boiling water, shake and lessimmer three minutes, then pour into the bow! and throw the grounds away and wash and dry the coffeepot. This will insure you sweet coffee. To make the coffee, grind fine the necessary amount, pour the liqnid saved carefully into the pot, so a6 not to stir up the grounds. Ina teacup inixa tablespoonful of coffee to each persen, ‘and one for the pot,’’ with half the white of an egg. When the liquid is boiling, dash the coffee in, stirring briskly foramoment. Fill the pot with boiling water—measured, mind you, one cup for each—and set to steep gently for five min- utes.— Washington Star.
What to Do With a Tough Hen.
Sometimes a ‘‘green’’ housekeeper buys a tough hen unawares, and then she tears her hair because it is not fit to eat when baked. Dress fowl and hang it up over night to freeze. Put to boil in hot water as soon a: the fire is madoand keep it boil- ing for three heurs. If in hard water, put 8 pinch of soda as largeas a butter bean in the water. Do not salt. Two hours before dinner lift from the water; dress and stuff us though it had not been eooked at all; lurd it with nice sweet bacon or fat pork, and bake in a medium oven, basting often. The hen will be tender as spring chicken. The water in which it was boiled will wake delicious soup, with bits of chicken shredded in it, for the second day, and makes delicious stock for hashed chicken or toast.
The Foot Box,
The ‘ashionable woman now cares for her feet as carefully as for her hands, and a foot box is ax necessary to her as a mani- cure set. The box is a good sized one, and contains everything required for the well being of both shoes and feet. For the former there are various kinds of dressing fluids for taking stains out of satin, brushes for removing dust, spools of silk and waxed shoe thread, a cobbler’s needle, thimble and scissors, quantities of laces of all col- ors and assorted buttons, while for the pedal extremities themselves there are pro- vided instruments for amateur surgica) treatment, soaps, salves and bandages, the last being intended principally for the cor- rection cf disfigurements caused by long use of slices that do not fit.”
Bags In Household Use. ‘
Bags are a hobby with some women. They delight in al) kinds for many differ- ent purposes. One of this class had a bag hung nesr her desk for receipted bills, which sae looks over in December and puts away, the bag beipg large enough to hold a year’s bills. She claims the stout linen bag is preferable to box or drawer in desk. Puttipg away summer stockings is an art in this same woman's case, ‘It is such & comfort,’’ she says, ‘‘to find them ready for use in the spring,’’ so instead of being thrown in a pile into some dra trunk, they are mended, rolled up in and put away in chintz bags, each mem- ber of the family having one of these bags hung up in the dark of his chamber 2upboard.

A BIG BRASS BAND.
Comedian Crane Thought Its Members Would Never Cease Coming.
Comedian William H. Crane says that the greatest brass band that this country ever knew was an organization in Otturnwa, la., many years ago.
‘*{’ve heard Gilmore and Sousa and all the rest,’’ said Mr. Crane recently, ‘*bat their bands couldn't be compared with that prairie aggregation for a mo- ment.
**In my theatricai salad days—when I was much younger than I am now—I was trying to pilot a company of Thes- pian bright lights throughout the west- ern provinces, Business was bad, and our treasury was low. At Ottumwa the theater orchestra had some sort of a grievance against the management and demanded pay in advance. The theater refused, and our orgatization was not financially in a position to discount tie future for asingle moment. So! started out to find some sort of music, if possi- ble, to tide us over. I finally succeeded in getting the Ottumwa brass band to agree to play three selections in front of the theater before the performance in return for free admission to the show.
‘*The band showed up on time, car- ried out its part of the contract and went into the theater. I wason the door that night, and by and by I was struck by the fact that the Ottumwa brass band must be one of the most remarkable mu- sical organizations in the country. Ev- ery minute or two somebody would comé up to the door with a brass horn under his arm, wave it at me and sail on into the theater without a word. After I had passed in 50 or 60 musi- cians in this way I began to grow a trifle suspicious and stopped an old granger who was carrying ina big tuba.
‘**Excuse me, sir,’ I remarked, ‘but do you play in the band?’
** ‘Nope,’ he answered.
‘**What are you doing with that horn, then?’ I asked.
‘**I’m goin to go in on it if I can,’ he replied candidly.
** *Whose is it?’ I inquired.
** ‘Blamed if I know,’ he said. ‘A fel- ler outside there gave it to me and said I could get im with it.’
**T left the door and stepped inside the theater just in time to see one of the band boys drop another horn out of a window into the hands of somebody outside in the alley.
‘*As nearly as I can calculate, the Ot- tumwa brass band that night mast have had more members than Gilmore or Sonsa ever directed at one time.’’-- Chicago Times- Herald.
