Kow that di-n-H are known U le cau:-d

almost anything. I've;ia dishcloth may gen

K il is I I : k and stiir.and sour, throw itintj

have to eat without a tabl-s loth, do without
curtains to your windows and cako for your
tea, and ha. eto let your faco dry after wash

without blacking for Sunday, if necessary,
but do not neglect, to wash the dishcloth.
A tidy housckii-r wriU.-s: "I havesmelled
a whole' hotts.- full of typhoid fever in one
dishcloth. I had some neighlor8 once
clover, good sort of folks. One autumn four
of them were taken sick with tho typhoid
fever. The doctor ordered tho vinegar bar
rels whitewashed, and threw about forty
cer.is' worth of carliolie acid into the swill
pail department. I went into the kitc!on
and made gruel. I needed a dishcloth, looked
around for one, and found several. And
such rugs! 1 burned' them all, ami called
the daughter to get me a dishcloth. She
looked around on the table. 'Why,' said she,
'thero were ulmut a dozen here this morning.'
Sho looked in tho wood box, on tho mantel
piece, ami felt in tho cupboard. 'Well,' I
said, 'I saw some old, black, rotten rags lying
around, and I burned them, for there is death
in such dishcloths, and you must never use

Itoxlng Children Ears.
All babydom is under great obligations to
Dr. Sexton, a well known aurist of this city,
for recording and publishing the particulars
of over fifty eases of car disease resulting
from a blow of the hand, either open or
clenched. The effects of gient concussions,
as thi explosions, upon the ear are popu
larly recognized, Jiut it is not gj-neraiiy
know n how small a concussion may result in
d:v lag.? to or disease of the ear, with the
chance of subsequent deafners.
This nund-er of crises ia the exierienc3 of
one practitioner shows that such results are
not s very rare. It is worthy of the con
siil.i;;ti ;i- of thoso thoughtless ieople who,
for p-uil-laiieut ot s;i!'. t. children's ears.
If a parent believes in the hoeefeaiiy of cor
poi ;1 punishment, there are plenty of places
upn.i tho body where it may be applied with
equal con-oe' i .-e ciiocts and with little danger
of ivmot;- plivsical damage. Boxing of the
ears sh ? i:ot bo indulged ia even in play,
for one ca::n't gauge the effect of tho con
cuviion. A ; -tlar aurist in this eity iPS: pub
lis'aod a c::fa of tleafitcia resulting from an
unexpected kiss upon the ear, the person giv
ing it coining up from behind the receiver.
The force in thia easo must have been much
less than that of a playful blow. Babyhood.
flow Women Rest.
How different!- men ar.l women indulge
themselves in what is called a resting siell.
"I guess I'll sit down and mend these stock
iug.i and iv;t a while)"' says tho wife, but her
husband tluwva l-.imself uix! the es k-imge
or sits back in his armchair, with hands at
rest and feet pla?cd horizontally upon another
chair. Tho resale is that his whole body
gains full benefit of tho half hour he allows
himpolf from work, and tho wife only re
ceives that indirect help which comes from
change of occupation. A physician would
tell her that taking even ten minutes' rest in
a horizontal position, as a change from
standing or sitting at work, would prove
aiore beneficial to her than any of her make
shifts at resting. Busy women have a habit
of keeping oa their feet just as long as they
?an, in spite of backaches and warning pains.
xvs they grow older they see the folly of per
mitting such drafts upon their strength, and
learn to tako things easier, let what will
happen. They say: "I used to think I must
do thu3 and so, but I've grown wir and
learned to slight things." The first years of
housekeeping are truly the hardest, for un
tried and unfamiliar cares are almost daily
thrust upon the mother and home maker.

Care of Silverware.
To know how to take cere of silver is a
yery important thing when ono has any sil
ver to take care of. A good deal of valuable
wal "e is reduced t a condition where it is fit
only be melted by improper cleaning aad
careleflj.- handling. Silver articles, when not
ia use, should be kept in prepared cotton
flannel btigs to protect them from the sul
phuretted hydrogen of furnace and illumi
nating gas. They should be kept in a ciry
plaoe, and if likely to remain a long time tho
silver should 1x5 perfectly clean and the bags
closely wrapped in stout paper. For daily
care of silver it is best to use hot water,
castile soap and a stiff brush and chamois
leather. In using plate powder to restore
the brilliancy one should always go to a reli
able silversmith for a good article, ns much
of the powder indiscriminately sold is no
better than a fine sa w or a lot of quarts sand
to wear off the surface cf metaL Gilding
ought to be rubbed as little as possible and
silver etched, decorated with colored alloys
or onidired, can be kept in condition by rub
bing with a damp linen cloth with a very
iitU-2 plato powder. Chicago Herald.

Food for Utile Folks.
Ia the midst of an elaborate spread of ex
cellent recipes for ingenious and toothsome,
if sometimes rather indigestible dishes, do we
consider as we should tho need of the chil
dren for simple, wholesome and nourishing
meals?
Childivn do not require, nor khould they
have, pii-kles or salads tliat tho torj'id livers
and ab-.Lsed stomachs of older people crave.
Neither Khould little folks bo compelled or
even coaxed to cat hearty food when disin

I-rmit a child to gorge itself with rich and
useless desserts, candies, or cookies letwren

The CarrlcHS Nurse.
Few chili Iron escaiio certain unfortunate
consequences of their incessant activity. The
child who has never been cut, bruised or
burned has probably not led the happiest nor
most healthful life. Tho pliable bones, tho
highly vitalized tissues, enable tho little ones
to witlistand an astonishing amount of vio
lence. On two occasions has tho writer seen
picked from the bricks, where it had fallen
from tho third story of the fronting house, a
soft, plump, round luby, as bruisuble appar
ently us a ripe peach, yet showing no syui
tom nor sign of serious, injury. On the other
hand, a careless nurse swings tho little one
by its wrist or thoughtlessly twists its arm in
putting on or taking off a too tight garment,
and thero is a sprainud joint ir bi-oken bone.

remarked that a ood deal of tlie talk about
the exti uvagance of tho Kan Francisco com

HOW HE MANAGES IT.
4,IIow does he do it Well, in tho first
place he has hunted up a room on tho top of
Telegraph hill, where ho hoa to ascend by a
rojie ladder, The marine view is excellent,
but the work of getting up ia frightful. Stiil
ho doesn't mind, for tho rent is only $4 a
month. He blacks his own shoes, shaves
himself and walks down town to breakfast,
making sure that the establishment which be
patronizes is able to supply a square meal to
a healthy man for fifteen centj. Before be
orders he makes it a point to devastate the
pickle jar, stvecp the table of bread and
crackers, radishes, beets or an3'thing else
furnished gratis. Then he wades into Lis
mcdest order, and after demolishing that
strolls up to read the papers at th Pioneer
halL lie alvays carries his overcoat thrown
loosely over his shoulders, as tho common
practice of thrusting the arms into the
sleeves has a wearing tendency, lie invari
ably spreads a couple of ne-.vs;aiers over his
eUair in the reading rc-om, so that the cane
sqpts may not too sudden ly remove the nap
of his already long worn but well preserved
pantaloons. He has a patent for hanging up
his hat f.o that it will lose none of its beauty
of outline by contact with the wall, and
when h dusts it ho invariably uses his hand

"A good many rich people who made their
own money make themselves apnea? mean
without puspeeting it or being really as par
simonious as they seem," remarked a full
blooded cattle king. "They got into tho
habit of driving close bargainswhea they
were poor, and it used to be necessary as well
as a matter of principle with them to see
that they weren't cheated. They seem, to
forget, though, that wht looks all right
with a hard working man ou a small salary
or his wife, isn't quite the correct thing with
the same man or his wife when they have
20,000,000 or $30,000,000. Now thero was
's wife and daughter. The market people
used to talk about them in a way that would
p?ralyze them if they only heard it, and all
on account of their mistaken ideas of what
they had a right to do. ' Host ladie3 in their

OS A MARKETING TOUR,
"These millionaire ladies used to go round
the stalls some time ago on a regular mar
keting tour, and display the same keenness
about the price of porterhouse steaks and o
tatoes per pound cs if a few bits more or less
were matters of vital importance. I used to
hear the marketmen comment on them, but
I knew that it wasn't pure meanness cs sup
posed, Jt was j'.ist a mistaken idea that it
was good American horse sense and com
mendable smartness to go and haggle with
several butchers instead of picking out o
good, honetit man who sold prime meat, and
telling him as a wealthy lady should gra
ciously do to send up so much beef or muttor.
or whatever she wanted without mquiring
about te market prices of the day. O:
course, the patronage of such a cuKtomei
would be worth keeping, and an honest and
competent butcher would take pains to set
that sho got the best in the market and at
market rates. Of late the ladies I alluded to
have ceased to visit the markets altogether,
and, like other rich people, order through e
servant,"
"You ere right about rich people being
both mistaken and misjudged," said a prom
inent bond and stock broker. "If a man is
worth a hundred thousand dollars they say
he's got million at least, and if Lo is &t all
saving when he has got a million they say he
is a miser and starves himself. There was
, who was a rigid economist and
great money maker. They said bis death
was caused by trying to climb over the grave
yard fence where bis parents are buried, in
Germany, and thus beat tho gatekeeper out
of a fee of five cents. That showed the pub
lic estimate of fcis economy. Yet I know the
man lsad a toft spot in his heart One time
I told him about a widow lady, whose l-.it
band ho used to know years before, when
they were well olf. Tho woman wa3 about
starving, and he promised to do something
for her. A few days after he saw her going
up Market street, near the new city hall, and
and taking five 20 pieces out of his pocket
he wrapped them ia a piece of paper, and
walking up to her said: 'Good morning,
Sirs. ; yon dropped this package,' The
woman protested that she had lest no 0
pieces, either wrapped up or loose. She
would know if she had, sho said. Ko insisted,
however, that she had, and compelled her to
take tho money and ure it as her own.'
"You can edvertise it," said he, "if you
like, though I'm sure yoa dropped it your-K-I.
If it turna out, though, that I'm mis
taken, send the owner to mo and IU settle
with him." San Francisco Chronicle,
