Mauogaxy, walnut and some other woods may be polished by the use of the following mixture: Dissolve by heat so much beeswax in spirits of turpentine that the mixture, when cold, shall be of about the thickness of honey. This may be applied to furniture or to work running in the lathe, by means of a piece of clean cloth, and as much as_ possible should be pie off by usiag a clean flannel or other cloth. SpiLtep IN upona carpet or other woolen article may be eatirely removed in the follow- ing manner: While the ink is still wet take clean blotting paper or cotton batting and care- fully soak up all that is possible; then pour a little sweet milk on the article and sop it up with clean cotton batting, This must be done several times, each time soaking the milk up with fresh batting and using fresh milk. When the milk is removed wash the spot with clean soap suds and rub dry with a ciean cloth. If the ink had become dry the milk must remain on longer and used oftener. With persever- ance, however, it will all disappear. Pain Court PLASTER THAT WILL NoT STICK AND REMAINS FLEXIBLE.—Soak isinglass ina little warm water for twenty-four hours, then evaporate nearly all the water by gentle heat.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Vice President King's daughter, who is trav- slowly. She was in Louisville as ago wis tating a as very impro| aot now. It w Prendent to leave bis iter unprovided for, especially in view of the that he lived bachelor. im murderous fashion, And drew them close ig & grip.of death. And she says, further on:'*I meant to stran- gle it, then and there.” Now, that was right. If “a useless passion” should come around scorching our soul—in July, too—we should think it was about time for the covernor to call out the troops or the firé department, we wouldn't care very’ much which. And if we could get in on its throat, we'd throttle the thing till its mind was gone, or the fire was out. Ella was right. Heroic treatment is the only thing for a useless passion. We knew a man once who kept one in hisstore. Not one of the white throat kind—they’re the worst-but a square-necked brindle, with tan mark over the eyes, and it got loose one night, rubbed off its murzie and got out and bit two policemen be- fore they could wake up. But then this ‘use- less passion” that the Chicago poetess tells us about had more lives than acat, forit got out of its grave and came and “stood by her bed till early morning,” and Its throat was red where my hands had held it, And hot as Hades tts burning breath; And I said, the moment my eyes beheld It, “A love like this can kuow no death.” Just think of that—a “useless passion” hang- ing around your bed, with a white throat frec- kled with red finger-marks, and a breath like a bine-head match or a blast from the onion-bed? Why, that sort of thing is not right. The press ought to call public attention to it; the public should not close its eyes against an evil that stalks at noonday in our very midst, breathing around ice-cream gorges until the freezers blow up. And if the government is too feeble or too corrupt to grapple with this monstrous wrong let us organize vigilance committees and, with the strong arm of the people's voice, drive back this haunting breath that throws its awful shadow in discordant echoes down the long cor- ridors of the river of time. a Dangerous Flirtations, From the London Trath. “C'est toujours l'imprevu qul arrive,” says the French proverb. The calamities you anticipate seldom happen; but your fate meets you round the corner. The wretched officer who shot poor Miss McKay through the heart last week, and then shot himself, was no doubt up to the last moment considered a harmless spectator of the game of lawn-tennis in which the young girl was too absorbed tonoticehim. She was intent on watching the flight of a tennis-ball, when a more deadly ball of lead pierced her heart. I am not referring to this merely as a sensational episode, nor with a view of pointing out the curiously inconsistent nature of the ver- dict: ‘Manslaughter and suicide while in an unsound state of mind"—not murder and suicide. Perhaps the jury felt that it was im- possible to say exactly whether the man was really mad. and equally impossible to declare him sane. Ontheborderland! Strange border- land of vice and volition, which seems to be the great highway ot human crime. Both victims ‘ing dead, the aggréssor may as well have the benefit of the doubt for the sake of his friends and relatives. since he died for the sake of one whom he slew because she was.dearer to him than life. The bloody tragedy is past, and I have no inclination to dwell upon its harrowing details, but I must say it does suggest the most unpleasant reflections. Any one who ts in the habit of glancing at the police news and assize reports must know 'that assassination or at- teinpts at assassinations of this kind are by no Means uncommon. ‘ Another French proverb says, in love, “Il y a toujours un qui aime et lautre qui se laisse aimer;” but sometimes the other does not let herself or himself be loved, and then—then—he or she may be in danger of dear life itself. That ia just the point 1 want to; call attention to. You have inspired a passion; you may have wit- tingly had some little to do with it. You were flirting at lawn-tennis; you allowed him to loop up your dress. Afterward you walked by the river; you strayed together into the woods; he sat at your feet. You were young and flattered at the attentions of a man older than yourself. You did not withdraw your hands. There was another at that party whom you really did care for; but as he seemed to be engaged very busily with your cousin, you thought vou would just, show him that you could do without him—for a time. But the affair turned out to be more serious; the person you selected asa pis aller was desperately smitten with you—no woman is quite insensible to the delicious triumph ot Inspiring love at first sight; you fanned the flame—it needed no fanning—you always de- clared the kiss was stolen, but it was not so. You made a conquest, but it cost you the love of that other whom you reallv were devoted to, and whom you meant to win when you had done teasing him and he had done playing with you, and it cost you—your life! Many of us have what the doctors call “the insane neurosis,” only latent, like cancer or con- sumption; it may never be developed, and we may finally die of something else; but, lke either of the above taints, it may be develuped. The peculiar emotional conditions and mental excitation may come to be applied by the ex- ternal stimulus of a dangerously pretty woman, with a magnetic personality; a fixed idea—a helpless, hopeless passion—is engendered; the will is paralyzed; brooding solitude, feeble health, close proximity, jealousy, an ardent temperament or a dozen other things will do the rest. Love rejected turns to an eager, desperate desire still to dominate the object of its passion, to control her life, to keep all others from her. Meanwhile she has half for- gotten you—thinks you will get over it—re- members how she got over her first love affair, at sixteen, with aman old enough to be her father. She cannot see the difference between the romantic passion of a suaceptible child and the deep hunger of a strong man in his full maturity. She is heartless, no doubt—with the heartlessness of sunny youth, and with a woman's sense of wielding, with a sort of poets icat justice, the tilting weapons ot the weak. Men flirt and throw girls over, and girls are helpless. Girls can't ask men to marry them; they can’t go a-hunting like men; they have to wait, and the men come or don’t come, pick and choose. and worry and spoil. And then, every now and then. a girl finds a helpless monster at her tiny little feet. Well, it she does not really much care for him or if she cares for another, she thinks—remembering the tears and sighs she has gulped down in silence for some one else—there can be no great harm in using him, or wearing him for a little time like an extra ribbon or a rose while it’s fresh. A few parties, a few walke, a dance does the rest; the poor little bird finds herself limed by a desperate pas- sion she does not want, yet can't escape from. She goes amet enn thinks she has escaped. She is followed. Months pass; she really has lost e vestige of teeling one way or the other; can hatdly remember what he looks like; gets engaged to some one else; and is shot dead on her bridal day. ‘ Such things are. They happen to women, and they happen tojmen too. And how many are on the point of mappening? But men, asa rule, are more wary. ‘They may have had more experience of women;than women have had of them. They don’t trust them so much. They are more on the lookout—they manage to get them prot i—out, of the way—looked atter in time. For one man killed or injured by a Jealous woman, there are:@ dozen women maimed or murdered by men. Strikes im France. From the London Times.;. ' Althongh the labor market in France has been for some time past ina tolerably quies- cent state, disputes have latterly begun to arize, ‘and several trades in consequence have become unsettled. In Paris the malcontents consist of the shoemakers, who‘ have picketed the shops during the strike; the hatness-makers, who de- mand a day of ten hours’ work, with a mini- mum wage per hour of sixty centimes, and the curriers, many of whose places have been filled up with hands fromthe provinces. At Rennes the cabinet-makers are on strike for an hourly increase of from thirty-five to forty cent and, although the carers. have con Lean em the Bar When They Order Drinks. ‘From the Syracuse Herald. “Did you ever notice that nine out of ten men put their elbows on the bar when they go to get a drink ?” said a gentleman to a friend who sat near him in the Vanderbilt House last evening. ‘No, I never have,” was the rep'y, “and I don’t think it is the general custom.” Hethen wagered $10 that he was right, and to decide the ques- tion the two went to O’Cognor’s saloon this morning and took notes. The first man who came in leaned over the foot-rail and put both elbows on the bar, and stood in that sition until his “bitters” were prepared. While he was drinking three others came in and orderea their decoctions. One man rested himself on his left elbow, the middle one put both arms down and held his chin in his hands, and the other man leaned over, crossed his legs and_ put his right elbow on the bar. A party of four followed. They were all traveling men, and, as soon as they had dropped their gripsacks, each man put an elbow on the counter and called for lager. The two necessary to make the ten and decide the bet came in ile the quartet were drink- ing. One of them took an inventory of the lunch counter, and the other one leaned away over the bar and studied the label on a bottle on the shelf before he gave his order. The man at the lunch counter called for lager and_ took his glass to a table, and sipped it as he reada morning paper. “Ihave won, you see,” sald the man who made the wager, ‘‘and the tenth man would have done just as the rest have if he had stood at the bar to drink his beer.” ee Unappreciated Genius, From the Chicago Herald. “*A little thing I dashed off in a moment of Poetic frenzy,” said the long-haired man as he unfolded some manuscript in the base ball edi- > tor’s room.

When peted. Now they are bigger and better propor- tioned and handsomer, but the only changes are in details, not in principle. But the bicycle of to-day is not the same in principle as the velocipede, and-ot varieties there are many. It Is commonplace to point out that or- dinary modern machiues are driven by crank action and not by using the legs somewhat as in walking, and that the weight is mainly car- ried on the large wh and not distributed be- tween two of somewhat ec novelties which may be mentioned al “bicycle” with two little wheels, one in front and one behind, beside the big one. and all in | line; and the bicycle with gearing—a principle | ¢ which has not succeded when applied to the lo- comotive ; and the bicycle with a continuous, or | racket, motion. None of these have been seen her An American idea is to place the little | wheel In front. A rider recently descended | Mount Washington on one. If that were the | main use of bicycles such a feat would be convincing. But obviously, more people can ride down hill on an ordinary machine with safety if careful than can ‘mount a grade with any sort of comfort or speed. The rider would have done more to convince the doubling if he had ridden up Mount Washington on the wheel he so ingeniously sought to advertise. Another style of machine which promises to gain favor rapidly makes use of a link to connect the crank to a lever, which is hinged at the forward end to a prolongation | of the fork, and is operated at the hinder end by anearly vertical movement of the foot andleg. This machine is much lower than the ordinary ones, and is, therefore, easy tomount. No tour- ist needs to be told what that means In a rocky or hillycountry. But it is a “pony” machine and a “safety” machine, and those are serious drawbacks with such as value bicycling rather for display than for comfort and results. What seems to be the chief advantage of this bicycle is that the pedal never gets away from the foot, asin circular motion machines. The er is applied nearly in the line of weight, and gravity aids the thrast of the leg most efficiently. The records made with this machine are “‘way up.” In England 300 firms have competed for egal making bicycles. Their work cannot excelled for compactness, strength and beauty. But a thoroughly excelient machine is now made in the United States, Our nickeling is even better than the English. Every high-class machine costs over $100, and as there are some 35,000 in the United States and Canada it can be seen how great the industry is.

Linck Edward J Lamochun JJ mony may or may not beapplicable to those contemplating erciee: That depends aren what they want to bicycle forand upon howthey bicycle. The sport has at least this to recom- mend it: No bicycler, when his machine isin mo- tion, can think ofother things. Many a desk- weary man is haunted in his exhausting “con- stitutional” by thoughts which cannot be ban- ished, But, on the road, on his wheel, he must study every foot of his journey, and he must mind his wheel or he will come to grief. In walking—and it is not worth while to consider riding since so few can ride—ne must carry his weight. Itis that which exhausts without re- freshing him. But his machine carries his weight, and his energy is left free for propul- sion. Thusaftera 10 mile spin he can bathe and go to work, when atter a 10-mile walk he would be fit only for rest. No one need be deterred by danger or the difficulty of learning. There is some danger and some diffi- culty, but only enough to add zest to what would otherwise be tame. No man under 60 is 80 old or so ciumsy, barring only cripples, that he cannot learn ina month. It is said that one man learned in 25 minutes. The writer, who excels in no branch of athletics, could get on and off, and stay on—unless something disturb- ing happened—at the end of five hours’ prac- tice. The danger is in inverse ratio to the riger’s caution. If he coasts down a strange Vill he may get pitched into the ditch and break a bone or two. If he persists in riding at night he mayraun over adog,as a member of the Ixion club recently did, or over a drunken man, as a citizen did, with disastrous results in each case. But it would not, therefore, be fair to call the pastime dangerous. At the school they report four sprained wrists and nothing worse. Having learnea the art the beginner essays the road. Chaff from the ubiquitous and in- iquitous small boy he accepts as due to the splendor and grace ot his performances. But when the delicate attention takes the shape of sticks deftly shied at the revolving spokes, in a manner suggestive of a ne-breaking “header,” he can only express his thoughts. He cannot even shake his fist. Pursuit implies desertion of his steed, and is therefore impos- sible. It is a still more serious matter when surly drivers will not yield even one-quarter the road, or, worse yet, deliberately try to run down the ‘rider. ‘The writer knows ot one case where such an assault was .made from behind, and a case was published last week in which the road was crossed for the sake of running down several riders. The driver is now under bonds to answer before the grand jury. Of course, there is another side. The bicycle trightens some horses. In such cases the bicycler shquid and usually does dismount. But it is surprising how few horses so much as wink at a bicycle. One rider of great experience has investigated the records of the horses which Arthur Hon T'S.

He found that the horses were uniformly unbroken or vicious, with a his- ry of runaway habits. It is perfectly certain if bicycle-riders were nuisances an outcry would be made. Every reader of ae ened is com- tent to judge whether or not this is the case. ut as a matter of fact bicyclers do not use the roads on sufferance. In every case before the courts they have invariably been held to the rights and duties of drivers of pleasure carri: They ask no favors, and should accept no than their rights. After a few casual road rides the bicycler is ready for his first tour. The league has made his course easy. At certain hotels of a considerable list he will, if a mem- ber with credentials, be given a discount. And ifnot a member, he can nevertheless profit by the arrow signs which line nearly every turn- pike, and doubtless puzzle many drivers. They are not “pointers” for the grand army of tramps and their meaning, though occult, is harroless. When the arrow is horizontal the wheelmen know they may go as fast as they like in the way the arrow points. When the point is in- clined upward they prepare for a hill. When it is turned downward they know the road will orsandy. And when it.points soon be rock; nearly vertically downward they, if wise, dis- mount.
