Laundry Lessons.
Always ? hake clothes woll before
putting them into the bluing water
otherwise blue streaks will trouble
tho good laundress ,
Bor x , in the proportion of a salt-
spoonful of the powdered to a quart
of water is a desirable addition to
cold starch.
A contributor gives this way of
starching linen : "Take one teas-
poonful of powdored borax and dis
solve it in a teacupful of starch ; dip
in the bosoms and collars , roll up
tightly , and iron in half an hour. "
Before commencing the weekly
cleansingof clothes place all of a kind
in separate baskets or piles ; the un
derclothing and bed linen together ,
also the towels and table linen , tho
flannels-by themselovs , and the col
ored clothes. The table linen should
be examined and stains removed be
fore pntting it into suds.
Javelle water is uselul in removing
stains except those from iron rust.
It is made by dissolving a pound of
sal soda in a tin vessel over the fire ,
and having dissolved a half of a
pound of chloride of lime in a wooden
pail , pour the soda in a pail and then
fill with boiling water. When clear
strain and bottle for use Dip the
stained parts in the water and let
them remain until the stain disap
pears.
The Date of the Creation of
Adam.
Of all who gave themselves up to
the chronological studies , tlie man
who exerted the most powerful influ- .
ence upon the dominant nations ot
Christendom was Archbishop Usher.
In 1650 ho published his "Annals of
the ancient and new ' testaments/ '
and it at once became the greatest
authority for all English-speaking
peoples. Usher was a man ol desp
and wide theological learning , pow
erful in controversy ; and hiscareful
conclusion , after years of the most
profound study of the Hebrew script
ures , was that man was created 4004
years before the christian era. His
verdict was widely received as final ;
his dates were inserted in the mar
gins of the authorized version of the
English bible , and were soon prac
tically regarded as equally inspired
withthesacred text itself ; to ques
tion them seriously was to risk pre
ferment in the church and reputation
in the world at large.
The same adhesion to the Hebrew
scriptures which had influenced Ush
er brought leading men of the older
church to the same view ; men who
would have burned each other at the
stake for their differences on other
points agreed on this : Melanchthon
and Tostatus , Lightfoot and Jansen ,
Salmeron and Scaliger , Petaviusand
Kepler , inquisitors and reformers ,
Jesuits Jansenists , priests and rab
bis , stood together in the belief that
the creation of man was proved by
scripture to have taken place be
tween 3,900 and 4,004 years before
Christ. Andrew D. White in the

and asked me something in French
which I did not understand. Seeing
that I failed to catch her meaning , she
looked .ill around on the counters ,
but apparently did not see what she ,
wanted. Then , as quick as a flash ,
before I could comprehend her aim ,
she took up a volume of one of the
very best sets of Scott in the store ,
bound in tree calf , opened , if. to the
pages , wrote something on it , calmly
tore out the leaf , handed it to me ,
smiled and walked out. On looking

The Funnel - Shaped Cloud
Again.
Milwaukee Sentinel : Undoubtedly
there is a similarity in the appearance
of cyclones as they move along their
course , but the likeness cannot be as
close as between the accounts of the
storms given by newspaper corre
spondents. A "dark funnel-shaped
cloud , " accompanied by "a iearful
roaring , " and "spreading destruction
along its track" is the same old cloud
that has been doing service for
twenty years. Will the cyclone
correspondents please strike up a new
tune , or give us new words to tho
old tune ?

An Extraordinary Beard.
Philip Hensen , a planter , residing
near Corinth , Miss. , is believed to be
the possessor of the longest beard in
the world. He is a man of unusual
stature , standingnearly 6J4feetin his
stockings ; this notwithstanding ,
his beard reaches the ground when he
is standing erect. A German residing
in Chicago a few years ago boasted
of his 60 inches of beard , butHenson
goes him several better , having many
threads in his beard which measure
over 70 inches. This remarkable
growth is but fourteen years old.

Shakespeare Servan's.
From Chambers' Journal.
In the time of Shakespeare domes
tic service was in a state of transi
tion ; the old system was decaying ,
the new one springing into life ; and
if one may be allowed to judge from
casual references scattered through
out the plaj's of the poet , tho new
order does not appear to have been
altogether satisfactory. In , "King
Lear" to take an example Kent
denounces Oswald , the steward , as a
"knave , a rascal , and eater of bro
ken meats ; a base , proud , shallow ,
beggarly , three-suited , 100-pound ,
worsted-stocking knave ! " From
Shakespeare's plays , it further ap
pears that the servants of the period
were companions and confidants of
their master , and that.they were gen
erally sly and pilfering , and players
of practical jokes. In great families
it was customary for servants to
take an oath of fidelity on their en
trance into office. Posthumous al
ludes to the usage when he says of
Imogene's servants :
"Her nttenrimitp nro
All sworn nnd honorable. "
The condition of servants at ( his
period was therefore peculiar , and it
is clear that they weiv ruled by a
curious mixture of stern discipline
and great laxity. One mode of en
forcing obedience was by imposing
forfeits or fines , some of which are
enumerated by Sir J. Harrington in
his "Nugaj Antiqure. " For being ab
sent from praj'ers , for uttering an
oath , for leaving a door-open , or
"for any follower visiting the cook , "
a fine was inflicted , while in another
set of rules it is provided that
"If anyone this rule doth break.
And cut more bread than he ran eat ,
Shall to the box one penny jmy. "
In any case an offender should rp-
fuse to pay "direct without resist
ance , " prov.sion is made at the con
clusion that
"Each one here shnll be assistance ,
And he that doth refuse to aid.
By him one penny shall be paid. "

Wife-Beaters In the City.
A detective at tho police station
said : "It is not often that you hear
of a man in the country beating his
wife. That pastime seems to be re
served for city men. The public
doesn't know one third of what is
going on in this line. We don't give
ail of the complaints away. Of
course , the harder cases get into the
police courts , and the reporters air
them ; but there are so many cases
which are .hushed up only to break
out again. There are women who
occupy good social positions whose
husbands , from some cause or other ,
become brutal and beat them like
slaves. The woman doesn 't make
any complaint herself , for she is
nshamed to. Butsome of her friends
stand it as long as they can , and
then come down here and report.
An officer is detailed to go and see
the family. Nine times out ot ten
these vomen , who are black nnd
blue , appeal for the brutes who made
them so , and the man plays the baby
and begs. Any man who will whip
a , woman is a coward , and as soon
as he sees an officer he weakens. The
best remedy , in my opinion , for wife-
beating is the whipping-post. But
you would open your eyes if I told
you some of the names we have on
our books who are in the habit of in
dulging in this pastime. "
A Fool's Death.
Homer E. Newton , a most promi
nent farmer of Summit County , died
nt his home in West Richfield a few
days ago. While on an excursion
with a party of friends , a discussion
arose concerning over-eating , which
ended in a wager , and Newton ate
twenty-six hard boiled eggs. He be
came ill almost immediately , and
was taken home , where he suffered
terribly until his death three weeks
later. The stomach and bowels re
fused to perform their functions , and
seemed to lie paralyzed by the im
pact mass of eggs. The patient lived
practically without food for three
weeks. Newton was aged 45 and j
was a perfect specimen of physical '
manhood , six feet tall , and weigh
ing ISO pounds , and was never sick
a day in his life until his fatal
feast. He owned the finest farm in
this section , was worth § 100,000 ,
and was a heavy shipper and im
porter of fine cattle. He was well-
known to cattle dealers at Chicago
and New York , and was a frequent
exhibitor at State fairs. Akron (0. )

Another Big Bridge.
Encouraged by the success of the
Forth bridge , French engineers have
formed a syndicate to build a bridge
over the Bosphorus between Roumeli
and Anadoli Hissar. The plan has a
length of 800 meters , which is to be a
single span , or half again the length
of the longest span in the Forth
bridge , and the height will be 70 me
ters. Nothing is yet settled , butitis
probable that the concession will
eventually be obtained and the con
nection of Europe and Asia by a
railway will thus be established.
