You will then use the thread the right way, and it will not be oontineally getting in- to knotsu When cooking green vegetables do not cover the pot in which they are boiled, or they will bo a bad color. A email piece of common soda, the size of a pea, added to the water will make them a vivid greeu. To clean irons that have become rough through bits of starch sticking to thetn, wash thoroughly with soapsuds, and they will be beautifully smooth and clean, but beanie and dry them thorough- ly afterwards or they will rust. Unused silver will keep quite bright if laid away in a box of flour. If brush- ed over with collodion after oleaniug, and kept in a glass case, silver will very seldom need polishing To 2 °move the collodion wash in warm soapy water. .When washing a sieve don't use soap. A brush and clear water are generally all that aro needed, but soda should be used if the sieve be greasy, If you are doubtful whether a muslin or print dress will wash well, preface the washing by soaking it for ten minutes in a pail of tepid water, into which a teaspoonful of turpentine has been etirr- ed. Large pieces of silver, such as urns, baskets and the like, ehonld be kept in canton flannel bags, when not in active use. The furry side of the flannel should be turned iuside and the bag closed with drawing strings at the top. For a good oeruent mix the beet pow• dered rice with a little cold water, slow. ly add boiling water till the right con- sistency is obtained, then pour into a saucepan and boil it for a minute. This paste is almost transparent, and well adaptedfor fancy work, for which a strong and colorless cement is required. When turning out gelatin or gelatin puddings from the molds in which they have formed, wet a knife in cold water before attempting to pass it around the mold. By the same token, wet your knife in hot water before cutting hot breads. New cotton often causes needles to break because of its exceeding harshness. This difficulty may be overcome by Tubbing along the part to be sewn with a dry piece of soap. The plan answers equally well whether the work be done by hand or machine. Saved His Comrade's Life.

Pietro was saving while he gathered olives, Within his purse was full enough he went down to the seacoast and bought a ticket for America. He hadn't trachoma or any of the other diseases for which the immigration officials watch, and he was soon started on the five-year road to cite zenship. Meanwhile, he found his brethren selling the Inman'. Pietro decided to win his way to the hearts of the new people through the great American stomach instead of the great American ear for hand -organ music, relates the Baltimore News. Pietro marched in the sun from door to door, his fruit on Me shoulder. When he became more prosperous he bought a push -cart, preferring to carry his burden like a horse than a la At- las. Then Pietro joined Italian sav- ing societies, and his funds not be- ing applied by frenzied financiers he soon found himself able to pay tribute to the city comptroller for a stall in market. When the fruit companies were at war and rival boats from the tropice arrived on the same day Pietro bought his bananas cheap. If they were green he stored them in his cel- lar, and they ripened with advancing prices. When the importers were at peace, Pietro bought ripe bananas be- cause the companies could not ship them inland. The jobber did not figure with Pietro. He recognized no middle man's profits save his own. Then the men, who run the ships and buy the fruits by the grove, decided to sell bananas by the pound instead of by the bunch. Pietro objected, but he was not recognized. Pietro ceased to be an Italian and became an Amer- ican as he had seen Americans. "Boycot-a de banan'," was the slogan. It was not shouted from the house- tops; it was whispered at the stalls. In a few days Pietro's persistence was effective. The wharves were deserted by the market men, and none have since returned. Pietro is still in mar- ket, but he is not selling bananas. The importers are still bringing boats to Baltimore, but they are not sell- ing bananas to Pietro. But—and this is the moral for both Pietro and the ship owners—this town will get really hungry for bananas some day, and a craving palate has no conscience. BUTTON BEE IS A TERROR People of New York Town Visited by • on Insect of Dangerous Character, A pest of a rather peculiar character has been disturbing the folks of Flat - bush, It is known locally, reports a corre- spondent of the Baltimore Sun, as a "button bee," because of the remarka- ble tenacity with which it sticks to clothes. It is about the size of and similar in shape to a trousers button, and individuals have noticed that once It gets its claws into one's clothes it is almost impossible to loosen its grip. When it is finally detached it falls to the ground with a buzzing sound, like that of the honey maker. Hence, ap- parently, the name of "button bee." Strangely enough, although the but- ton bee is sometimes as large as a nick- el and always as large as a dime, screens are useless to keep it out of houses. It seems especially to like houses with hardwood floors, and per- sons called out of bed late at night re- ceive the first intimation of the pres- ence of a button bee by standing upon it, when the hard surface causes severe pain. Should it chance that the button bee be on its back, which is the posi- tion in which it sleeps, it fastens its powerful claws into the foot of the walker, causing acute pain and a Wound more or less severe. In detaching the creature, if a part ,of a claw should remain in the flesh blood poisoning might possibly ensue. Physicians have had several cases of this kind. A remarkable characteristic of the button bee is that, like misery, it loves company. When couples are sitting on the porches at night button bees are sure to appear in great numbers. An observer says th'at thiS is especially true of the porches of houses which do not have street lamps in front of them. Whether the button bee is essentially a lover of darkness is not known. Ex- perts are divided as to the species .to which this new bug belongs. It is remarked that in localities where the button bees are most fre- went toes are not numerous. 1 Lis siugg,es s that it is the natural en - I erny 01 the more general pest. Some experiment, 'are being made toward the ascertaining of the truth of this theory: Oust Quarreling Women, Switzerland is decidedly not a country for the modern woman. She is not even allowed to quarrel with tier husband. An English woman who had marricd a foreman of a large factory frequently I quarreled with him, as she imagined she had a right to do.

Alter a few quarrels she received a warn• t trig not to do so, and as she did not heed it she was expelled from the country and escorted across the frontier by a gendarme. Brilliant Chinaman.

A, VALUABLE BUBLICATIOlf BOUND DT A. DEALER. Printed in Boston in 1777 and Con- tains Address to Colonial Soldiers by George Washington—Une earthed in a Barn. Minneapolis, Minn.—George Morse, the Central avenue newsdealer, has in his possession a newspaper which, in ad- dition to being dated 122 years ago, also contains a proclamation of Gen, Wash- ington to the deserting and recruited soldiers of the United States, It is one of the many cherished relics connected with the name of George WashingtOu, which come to light on the anniversay of Washington's birthday. The paper is worn by time and faded almost be- yond recognition by age. Where it has been folded the reading matter has be- come indiscernible and it is nearing a state of complete dissolution. Mr. Morse has been in possession, of the copy for over 60 years and prizes it so highly that all efforts of the State His- torical society to obtain it have proven futile. He continues to turn a deaf ear to all the pleadings of enthusiastic collectors, of antique treasures, prefer - Ing to keep it in his hands during the rest of his life. The paper is 8%x13 inches in size. It is printed in four pages, the old style of type of two centuries ago being used. The arrangement of composition is Puri- tanic in its prim exactness. The nouns, without exception, are capital- ized and punctuation marks are applied generously. It was published in Boston under the following heading: • • Thursday, December 4, 1777. : Continental Journal and Weekly Ad- vertiser, : Printed by John 0111 10 Court Street, Boston. • Mr. Morse came into possession of the paper by accident. One Saturday afternoon he and a boy chum went on an exploring trip in Sammy's grata. father's barn. Grandfather was an old Congregational minister, a man of learning with a mind bent on hoarding literary treasures. Among the several old newspapers which attracted George Morse's attention was the one men- tioned above, the oldest, He took it home and it has been in his possession ever since. All this happened in Peter- boro, N. H., 60 years ago. Mr. Morse, accompanied by Mrs. Morse came to Minnesota in the early sixties and have been East side resi- dents ever since. He is the oldest news- dealer resident in Minneapolis. His first store was on Main street. Mr. and Mrs. Morse will celebrate their golden anniversary in January of next year. DETROIT MAN HAS $30 BILL It's a Square Piece of Paper Issued by Congress During the Revolu- tionary Times. Detroit, Mich.—There is probably not more than one man In Michigan who with the "frenzied finance' 'air of the reckless bettor could square off with: "I'll bet a $30 dollar bill," and be able to show the bill. The one Michigan man who could do it is D. A. Lines, of Mancelona. In his pos- session is a square piece of paper, some- what smaller than our present paper currency, on the face of which are the following words: "The bearer is enti- tled to receive 30 Spanish mill dollars, or an equal sum in gold or silver, ac- cording to a resolution of congress, of the 14th January, 1779." The border contains the words, "United States of America." On the reverse side is a map of the 13 colonies, but so crude that it would require an expert colonist to iden- tify his own. The $30 bill is still "as good as gold," but could not be purchased of the owner for its face value. though if presented • at the treasury the government would be bound to redeem it or confess the doctrine of "repudiation."

London.—While traveling in a train from lower Edmonton on the Great Eastern railway, a woman named Mag- gie Murphy suddenly up and 'exclaimed to her companion, a commercial travel- er named Mason, that she had seen a face at the window. A few minutes later she saw the face agnin. 80 Mason opened the window and looked out. but could see no one. A lit - tie later the train pulled up at Seven Sis- ters station, and the door of a carriage was found to be open. Investigation resulted in the finding on the line of the dead body of Ernest Sarsons, a butcher, At the inquest it was stated that Sar - sons had apparently said good -by to Mason and the woman on the platform at lower Edmonton. They had all had drinks toegther, and Sarsons was under the influence of liquor. The coroner's theory was that Sarsons got on to the footboard of the moving train to peep into the carriage, and so met his death. A. verdict to this effect was returned. Amish Leaves .mer Will.
