At Kelt In a Coffin, It was the French assassin Lupi who escaped to sea from Cayenuo iu a coilin. He managed to get some nails, tar and cotton, and one dark night ho got into tho colli 11 shed. He selected a tine, stanch and seaworthy coilin, fas tened the lid in order to turn it into a deck, leaving a cockpit tsullicient to en able him to crawl iu. He calked all tho joints as well as ho could, and when this work was finished he made a pair of paddles out of two planks. Then he brought out his craft with great precau tion. Without much difficulty ho reach ed tho water's edge. Silently and slowly be proceeded in tho hope of reaching either Venezuela or British Guiana, 150 nautical miles distant. Fortunately or unfortunately for Lupi tho steamer Abeille, returning from tho Antilles, off Paramaribo, picked him up, half drown ed and almost in a fainting condition, and a few hours later he was in irons iu his cell.

Tho stamp clerk passed out three 1 cent stamps. "Now deal mo a pair of deuces." The clerk passed out the 2 cent stamps. "1 see you understand the game, " said the man. "Yep," said the clerk. "Anto up." The man placed 7 cents on the shelf. "My pot." said the clerk as he scoop ed it in. Tho men smiled as they parted. New York Commercial Nutrition For Consumptives.

It 1 n peculiar fact, though nn admitted one, tlmt transoms lire of littlo or no use except to accumulate, dust, hut no builder will honestly declare it. If you really be lieve in the ventilating value of a tran som, remove the window entirely and sup ply its place with a silk curtain, loose at the lower cdre, which will llutter to and fro, not unplcasinuly. You may close tho transom entirely and cover tho opening with a drapery, which will bo a good back ground, and just below It may tlx a shelf, which will hold a plaster cast or two and a pot of some bright colored ware. Some times there Is llglit enough in the hall to admit of having a jar 11 lied with long pprays of German Ivy or tradescantia growing in water set upon such a shelf. AK'1i, 5u may conceal your transom with a mass of tho dried palm leaves which are sold in the oriental shops. Or a panel of fretwork may tako tho place of the dis carded window, and tho transom still ho useful as a ventilator. When two tran soms como close together, try the shelf and drapery arrangement for one and the palms for tho other, arranging tho latter so they will rest partly against thu drapery. Against the inner or Hat sideof a transom you may with advantage hang a picture of such shapo and size as to entirely con ceal tho opening and its frame, fastening it Hat against tho wall New York Com mercial. Imitating Ground GIam. For a hathroom door or window or any placo where ground glass is needed tho do sired effect may ho gained easily and in expensively. Any one who has been un fortunate enough to break a pane of glasa of this sort knows by expe rience how much more costly It is than ordiuury window glass. To Imitate ground glass a diamond pat tern is simple and satisfactory. Prepare an ordinary pane of glass by llrst having It thoroughly clean and dry, and then cov er on tho Inside with a coat of white lac varnish. Fold a piece of white tissue paper tho size of the jwine lengthwise over nnd over again, as one used to do In cutting out the .kind of paper dolls that were al ways united like the Siamese twins. Make a diamond pattern from a pi ecu of etltT card hoard and cut out this pattern through the several thicknesses of tissue paper, put this on the glass, give another eoat of white lac varnish, and after the few min utes It takes to dry tho work will h com plete. The llrst emit of varnish should bo still damp when the paper is applied. Km rue he. Earache Is such a common symptom, especially in children, that domestic reme dies are often used until tho disease de mands tho id vice of a specialist. By that time often gieat harm has been done and perhaps serious consequences have resulted. Dr. F. W. Illnkcl calls attention to the gravo significance of earache and the Im portance of curly treatment. Earache In children may be the first Indication of an approaching meningitis. An earache should not ho pnssod over with a superficial examination, but the child should be given hot footbaths and put to bid. The bowels should bo freely acted on. Hot, dry applications uro better than moist om s. It Is better not to Inject solutions of laudanum, morphia or cocaine Into tho ear. Opiates, too, often mask tho pain and conceal tho real trouble. De lays uro dangc rous, and In case of np proachlng rupture the tympanum should be freely lnrlMcd. No physician should ever hesitate to call In an uurlst when In doubt. -Exchange. FOR LITTLE FOLKS. BESSIE AND HER DOG. How the ItrT Newfoundland Lost IIU Lire Defending Ilia Mlatreu. Wednesday morning Ranchman Sam Dodge, who lives 17 miles southwest of Canoy, Kan., in the Osage country, went to Vinita ou business, and shortly after he had gono Hessie, his 6-year-old daughter, wandered away from home in an attempt to follow him. Mrs. Dodge discovered her abscuco about two hours after her husband's departure. Sho made a thorough search of the premises, and, failing to find tho child, notified tho neighbors of her disappearanco. They turned out in forco and scoured the prairies all that day and all that night and all tho next day searching for tho little wanderer. Late Thursday evening an Indian came upon her lying fast asleep just south of Post Oak creek in an old road known as tho Whisky trail. Across her body stood a New foundland dog, which had always been her companion about the ranch. Tho dog was torn and bleeding, and near her feet lay tho bodies of two wolves. Although her cheeks were stained with tears and covered with dust Bcssio was unharmed. She and her protector were taken back to her home, a distance of 12 miles from where they wero found, where tho dog died of his wounds that night. Ho was given a decent burial, and Sam Dodgo ordered a marble monu ment, which will bo placed at tho head of tho faithful animal's gravo. New York World. The Toys Talk of the World. 'I should like." unid the viw from the china storo, "To have Heen the world a little more. 'When they carried mo here, 1 was wrapped up tight, But they my it is really a lovely Hitfht." 'Yes," said a little piaster bird, "That U exactly what 1 havo heard. "There are thousands of trees, and, oil, what a nik'ht It must be when tho cundle are all alight!' The fat top rolled on his other Hide. "It in not in the, leant like that." he cried. Except myself and the kite and hall. None of you know of the world at all. "There are houses and pavements hard and red. And everything spins around," he said. "Sometimes it goes slowly and sometimes fast. And often it stops with a Lump at lust." The wooden donkey nodded his head. "I had heard tho world was like that," he said Tho kite and tho ball exchanged a smile, but they did not speak. It wus not worth while. Katharine Pylo in Ht. Nicholas. Torchlights From Cattails. This is tho time of year for torchlight processions. Just now tho cattails or rushen in tho swamps are brown and ripe, ready for the picking. Boys who wish to celebrate any event or to hold a striking initiation in some of their societies should gather a great bundle of tho cattails and storo them in some dry attic. In a few weeks' timo they will have grown almost dry enough to crumble off and flutter away in the wind. Now dip them in keroseno oil, and when tho procession is ready to start light them all at once. Thoy will blaze up quite suddenly and burn for a long time with a bright, flaring light much better, than tho ordinary tin torches. For a boy's procession there is nothing liko them. Chicago Record. The Cobble Sh.ou. Tho horse chestnut trees nro catching it nowadays at the hands of small boys, or rather from stones and clubs impelled from their hands, for tho cobble season is at hand. Cobble is a curious game, The horse chestnut is suspended by a string which passes through a gimlet hole and is knotted. Ono boy holds out his cobble at arm's length, and his op ponent whacks it with his cobble. The nut which remains unbroken adds a tally to the other cobble, and when that is smashed it adds two to tho successful youth's chestnut. And so it goes on un til a peculiarly tough nut may get a record of several hundred. Worcester Gazette. How Had It Ached. A dear littlo boy about 4 years old had tho toothache. But ho had a great deal of self control. Although he was so little, he was a very bravo boy. Ho sat ujxm mamma's bed, not saying a word, although ono could tell by his dismal expression how much ho suffered. Mamma was very sorry. "Does your tooth hurt so very much, Earle?" sho asked "Hurt!" he exclaimed. "You bet it hurts! It just boats the cars, mamma. " Brooklyn Eagle, The I loll Kdna Wants. Kdna wants a baby brother.

Two Denver Imys havo lately floated tho stars and stripes by kites a milo above tho summit of Pike's peak and claim that it is tho highest point ever attained by Old Glory. There nro people who know what has lecomo of every cent they ever had. lis Mary Kyle Dallas. The recent sudden death of Mary Kyle Dallas of New York was a shock and a sorrow to a host of friends and udmirers. For many years sho was a contributor to tho New York Ledger at n largo salr ry, and also wrote short stories for Lippiucott. Latterly her work has lecn seen in tho daily papers, and her essays on women for tho American Press Association commanded wido at tention. Mri. Dir. las was a member of Sorosis, tho. first ico president of tho Woman's lress club and a prominent member of tho Hidden Hand club, whoso purpose is to expose tho fako ad vertisements which prove a siiaro and a delusion to unsuspecting women. Mrs. Dallas wus tall, with a beautiful, aris tocratic face and stately bearing, while her manner was so gracious and her acts so kindly that sho endeared herself to all who knew her. She was 60 years of ago and began to write at tho ago of 8, when sho comisised a play that was produced in her father's kitchen. In 1888 sho estimated tlmt she had written and sold at least 8,000 stories and as many sketches. Boston Woman's Jour nal. The Topnlar Jacket For Next Winter. "Tho tendency of tho winter jacket Is toward tho blouse effect, which is ob tained by darts," writes Isabel A. Mill ion in Tho Ladies' Homo Journal. "Yokes, collars, cuffs, pipings in fur, whether it bo mink, Persian lamb, er mine, sable, silver and black fox or monkey, will bo popular. Velvet and silk braid of all widths are much used. Satin cloth is really the novelty of the day and obtains in heliotrope green, mode, golden brown, silver gray, royal blue, dove and lincoln green. In this aro seen not only tho fur decorations mentioned, but also a very thick, coarse, black woolen braid and tiny straps of leather matchiug or contrasting with tho cloth in color. Collars coutiuuo high, aro gored and undulating and may bo lined with fur, velvet or laco. Watteau effects are seen. Capes will continue to bo worn. Tho novelty in their trimming is a flounce of tho same material about the edges, described by the French modiste as 'cut in round.' " A Solicitor of l'atruts. Miss Kdith J. Griswold of New York city is a solicitor of patents, and sho carries on her business in a room on tho fifteenth floor of ono of tho big down town office buildings. Although Miss Griswold is youthful in appearance she has been in her present business for 12 years. After Uing graduated from the Normal college in 1883 sho took a spe cial course in mathematics and patent office drawing, taught mathematics for a year and studied patent soliciting. Since she started out in business for herself she has been very successful. Miss Gris wold not only obtains patents for people all over tho Unibnl States and in for eign countries, but gives opinions on patents and trademarks, and in what leisure she secures is studying law, with the intention of passing the) New York bar examination. With all her work Miss Griswold finds plenty of time for exercise. She rides a wheel, is a fine swimmer and practices several other brandies of athletics. Never Strike aud Seldom Complain. There is ono class of laborers, says The Woman's Journal, which never strikes and seldom complains. They get up at 5 o'clock in tho morning and nev cr go to bed until 10 or 11 o'clock at night. They work without ceasing dur ing tho whole of that timo and receive no other emolument than food and clothing. They understand something of every branch of economy and labor, from finance to cooking. Though harass ed by 100 responsibilities, though driv en and worried, though reproached and looked down upon, they never revolt, and they cannot organize for their own protection. Not even sickness relieves them from their post. No sacrifice is deemed too great for them to make, and no incompetency in any branch of their work is excused. No essays or poems aro written iu tribute to their steadfast ness. They die iu tbo harness and are supplanted as quickly as may be. These are the housekeeping wives of the la boring men. Autumn Shades. All the warm, soft shades of red and brown and yellow are worn this au tumn. Tho old fashioned wallflower, if it wero still in bloom, would be quite correctly garbed as far as colors go, aud tho sunflower, violet and ieony would not lo very far lehind tho fash ion. All shades of rosy pink, from del icate anemono to watermelon tint, are in demand by t lie makers of evening gowns and by tho trimmers of smart littlo bonnets for evening wear or for calling. Golden, reddish iUid russet browns aro used for tho elaborately trimmed street gowns and for smooth cloth coats. Purples in wonderful shades of iris and orchid and "lleur do ltussio" are een in riblions, in dress gxxls and in f el vet. Blues in half a dozen more shades than aro worn usually are shown for cloth suits. New York Commercial. Hats and Bonnets. The first autumn hats and bonnets in colors aro darker tones of the oddly braided, gay hued styles that havo been so M)pular all summer. The iris, violet and periwinkle shade aro repeated, tho various dyes in green and brown straw, and these and other showy colors will rival tho black models that are to usurp no small iortion of tho domain of au tumn fashions in millinery, and wholly black trimmings will rule very largely to tho exclusion of the mass of color that has so predominated for seasons past There will be great use of large, broad, fluffy ostrich plumes, with little or no use on hats of real elegance of tho littlo stark, stiff, sti;fftl, tricolored effi gies with dyed lniks and legs, bead eyes, and wired wiuf that have ho long been hxiked uion as an essential decora tion of all fashiouaUehats.

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common tlahs with urino and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urino stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the hack, is also convincing proof that tho kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO HO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Hoot, tho great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and Y scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef fects following uso of liquors, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and extraordinary effect of Swarap-Koot is soon realized. Itstands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should havo the best.
