FOR THE ESPECIAL ENTERTAIN MENT OF BRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS. Directions for Making: a Self Acting Swine that "Will Afford Much Enjoy ment Withont Fear of Injury from. Its Breaking Down. The swing shown In the engraving was described not long ago by a correspondent in the Springfield Homestead, who says that it may bo double acting or single, to suit the fancy of the maker. The cross pieces (A) are spiked or bolted to the cap B B. This is a scantling six inches square, or a rustic log mortised to two up rights of a like character that are at least fifteen feet above ground, and should bo set in the ground from five to seven feet. The swing ropa (e e) i3 fastened to B B, about four inches inside of the cross pieces A. The rope is made of three-eighth or one half inch round iron, or old lightning rod may be used. The ropes D D should be fastened about one foot from the main rope, and toward the' end of the stick A. They should ba brought down and passed through the hole in the seat, directly opposite the ropes e e and two to three inches away from it. They must then be tied to the foot bar. A. SS Wl&BHiP A SELF ACTING SWING. This must bo adjusted to suit the bizo of tho swinger. There should be a small pulley (a large spool will answer) put in the seat in front of the rope, where it is likely to wear, and a loop should bo made for each foot and fastened to tho foot bar. This loop will draw across the instep when tho heel is in contact with tho bar, so the foot will not slip off. The ropes E E are made fast in the opposite direction from D D, at tho other end of the bar A. These are brought down and fastened to the handles 1 1 at the proper height. The handles must be made of hard wood, with a hole bored through them and passed over the main rope (which is of iron) before it is put up. A notch is made around the upper end of the handles to attach the rope E E. Running Away. "When I was a child," writes a lady who is noted for her placidity of disposition and her capacity of endurance, "I had a notori ously hot temper. As soon as my mother saw one of tho 'fits' coming on she used to say gently, 'Perhaps you had better run away a little while, dear.' Then I would tako my sled or my little garden hoe, ac cording to the season, dash out of doors, and stay thero until the evil spirit had passed by. "Wo kept up that littlo habit, my mother and I. I entered the young ladies' seminary of our town, and there I worked very hard, but, unlike many of tho girls, I did not break down. Whenever my mother noticed that my forehead was beginning to tie itself up in a knot over my books she would say: 'Run away for an hour, daugh ter. The sunshino is very bright, and I want you to go out and soak yourself in it.' "Of course I didn't always want to go, but mother could be firm as well as in dulgent, and tho result was that I did a great deal of running away, either to bed or into tho open air. The other girls kept themselves awake on coffeo in order to study late at night, and some of them did outstrip mo in book knowledge. Still, I camo to believe so fully in my mother's prescription that I made it one of my rules of life, and I am consequently one of the people who havo 'Lived to fiht another day.' An Ugly bat Valuable Animal. Admiral D. D. Porter, who in a trip to North Africa for the pnrposo of obtaining camels learned much about these unpre possessing looking nniinals, is authority for the following interesting facts about their valuable qualities: "In their campaigns against Algiers the French were surprised to Pfe their camels, although reduced to skeletons, making forced marches with their loads. Mules iu their condition could not have carried even their saddles. "A camel's flesh is as good as beef. You can hardly tell one meat from tho other. Camel's milk is very good, as I can testify, because I used it in my coffee. "A camel generally drinks once in three days, and bes;de his four stomachs he carries a sort of reservoir in which he stores water. I haTe been told that even ten days after tho death of a camel this reservoir can ba opened, and ten or fifteen pints of clear, drinkable water taken from it."

San Francisco, July 19. The globe trotting exploits of Nellie Bly and Hiss Bisland have made the names of these two familiar to all newspaper readers. In San Francisco is a little woman who, if less widely known, is none the less active in daring expedients and quite as successful in playing novel parts in real life dramas. Winifred Sweet was born in Chicago twentj'-three years ago. Her father was Gen. B. J. Sweet in the late war, and was appointed pension agent at Chicago by President Grant during his first term. At bis death his daughter Ada Sweet, while but twenty years old, was made her father's successor in the office. For eleven years, until requested to step down mid out by Commissioner Black, during the Cleveland administra tion, she held the position. Her refusal to resign made her famous. "Winifred is the j'oungest and, I believe, the only sister of ez-Pension Agent Ada Sweet. Her debut in journalism was 'in Chicago a little over two years ago. She wrote some stories for The Chicago Tribune over the namo "Columbine." Her first regular engagement was with The New York Truth. In August of last year she came to San Francisco in search of employment, and took with her letters of introduction to tho big boss of one of the big dailies of this city. This gentleman informed her that he would not have a woman employed in his office for anj'thing; that "the coast" had not degenerated to a sufficient de gree to give desk room to any woman in a newspaper sanctum. But Miss Sweet was not entirely crushed by this unprom ising outlook. She went to another of fice and proposed to do some work for the paper if permitted. She was given some littlo encouragement, and submit ted a story which was accepted. In a few days a flower show came on, and she was assigned to "do" it for the pa per. She did it to tho satisfaction of the managing editor, and was soon given a desk and regular assignments in the local room. When she had gained a footing and inspired Eomo degree of confidence she began to divulgo some rather daring schemes in tho sensation line. Her first exploit in this direction was to answer an advertisement for ballet girls. She joined a ballet in a spectacular play at the Grand Opera house, and turned in some racy reading as the result. WINIFRED SWEET. Rumors of bad management in the re ceiving hospital wero rife, but positive proof was wanting. "Annie Laurie," for such was tho name Miss Sweet had chosen, decided to test tho matter. She dressed herself up in shabby genteel clothes, and going into a crowded street fell iu a voluntary fit. She was duly picked up and carted off to the receiving hospital. She says the treatment effectu ally cured her of fits for the future. The papers wero all filled with pathetic de scriptions of the poor and friendless maid en who had fallen in the street and lodged in tho hospital. When tho reporters called to get the case she could not sup press laughter, and had to feign hyster ics in order to conceal her shamming. When the stately matron remarked, "Thare is a reporther, and wo must kape him away from the facts or he will be afther making a column of it, so ho will," she had to summon her wits to keep a straight face. She was made to drink a hot mustard decoction to re move the poison which the wise doctor declared she had taken with suicidal in tent. Her recovery followed in due time, and after her release a reporter for a rival paper sought her home to inter view her about her hospital experience. In the interview she posed as tho friend of "poor Annie Myers" who had been in the hospital. The story she gave that reporter un folded a tale whose lightest breath made "each particular hair stand on end like quills upon the fretful porcupine,' as it were, and awakened such interest in the "poor girl" that she wa3 flooded with letters of sympathy and gifts of money and clothing from kind hearted women. But when her story was printed a sensation was aroused. The governor of the state telegraphed to have the doc tor dismissed pending investigation, and when tho investigation was made he wjis bounced for brutality. Next she obtained letters and passports, and went to visit the leper island of Molokai, in the Hawaiian group. Here she was the first and only woman who ever set foot on that accursed land ex cept some half do2en Sisters of Mercy, whoso lives are spens thero as nurses to the suffering 1,200 lepers upon whose life the sun of hope has forever set. Here she found no startling episode. Only sorrow, deep and dark, gathered around the victims of the vile disorder. But her story of tho place was a graphic and patnetic recital. After returning from the lepers' col ony she resumed the every day work of society- editor and reporter. Her last au venture was ai louiuig iue oaivauon Army, and in a hallelujah bonnet she went to the jail with an armful of War Crys and a tambourine. She peddhjd War Crys to the prisoners and took notes while the captains shouted and praved. and her story was a good one. W. G. Bsston. Didn't Take Terr "Well.

John Edward Thompson, a Hard and Able "Worker in the Ranks of the Knights of Pythias A Sketch of His Career Other Items. The accompanying portrait is of a Knight who has labored long, earnestly and well in the cause of Pythianism. The Pythian Knight says of him: John Edward Thompson, a son of Glad ding O. and Lydia Carpenter Thompson. was born in Cum berland, R. I., Jan. 3, 1830. He attended school and worked on his father's farm and at boat building until 1855, when he went to Paw tucket and worked at the jew elry business, 1S57 he went into the tanning busi ness at Central Falls with hia b r o t h e r-i n-law. J. E. THOMPSON. Mr. Thompson joined Washington lodge, No. 4, K. of P., in 1874, and attained the rank of P. C. by faithful service.

An Answer to "Is Odd Fellowship a Ben efit?" Other Items. The Ohio State Journal In answering the question, "Is Odd Fellowship a benefit to the community at large?" says that from an economical and pecuniary stand point alone it is a relief directly to the gen eral body of taxpayers of the United States to the extent of about $2, 000,000 annually, and indirectly to the extent of double that amount. New York reports a membership of 51, 109, a net gain of 2,164 during 1889. A total of $229,020.37 was paid for relief during the year. Utah has thirteen lodges with a total membership of 715. And there are seven encampments, three R. D. lodges and one canton. John E. Cowden, of Amesbury.Mass., said to be tho oldest Odd Fellow in tho United States, died recently, aged 82 years. He joined the order in Philadelphia in 183L A lodge may donate to a brother who is in actual want, oven though ho is not in good standing on account of arrearages. An Odd Fellows' temple, which will cost $25,000 when completed, is now in course of erection at Granu Forks, N. D. Oneida, N. Y., has a new canton with 52 chevaliers. All lodge business, excepting that of con ferring the degrees, is still done in the ini tiatory degree by the order in Australia. Portland, Me., claims to be the hotbed of Odd Fellowship. The number of adult males in that city, according to the census uf 1889, i3 9,948, and 2,805 of theso are Odd Fellows. A. O. U. W. rjow the Order Is Growing in the Tnrlons Jurisdictions. Missouri has the largest number of lodges of any jurisdiction; New York comes next, Illinois third. The number of lodges in these respective jurisdictions at tho close of the last fiscal year is shown by tho re port of the supreme recorder to be aa fol lows: Missoiwi, 424; Xew York, 414; Illinois, 3-17. The following official figures show the number of lodges in each jurisdiction, in addition to thr,se rauntioned above, accord ing to their relative standing as to number of lodges at the close of the last fiscal year.

Tho husband was shot by the brother, but managed to run out of the house. Tho brother fol lowed, firing tyo mora shots, and cut him in the neck. Then the wife- and her brother dragged the supposed coxpao to tho house and placed it between two mattrcssen, and in order to cover up tSir crime tho mat tresM were set on fire and the homo waa abandoned. But tho husband was only stunned by tho bullet, and the fierce pain caused by tho firu brought him to his eenaea. in time to escape from what was designed to bo his funeral pyre. Ho crawled to tho honte of his neighbor, and soon his wifo Bought the shelter of the wune roof. Tbro waa o Eceuo when hit wife caught a glimpse of her husband's face. Tho huflband died a month later. The wife was acquitted ot the charge- of murder, the jury deciding that tho brother who hod disappeared was tho guilty ono.

After doctorins for six years with the best physicians in the country, and getting worse all the time, I had given up all hope of getting well when I saw your Cuticoua Remedies advertised and procured a set, although with little faith in them. The first set, however, did mo such a vast amount of good, that I continued their use, and now, after using four sets, I am happy to say that I am entirely cured.

Threo Women in Counsel Over the Merits of a Bath Towel. One is bad enough, two are worse, but thre& women in counsel over the merits of a bath towel are enough to make a poor, worn out clerk wish he might depart from earth by the electricity method. "It seems like quite a good one for the money, doesn't it?" says the Intending purchaser. "Well, I don't know," says the other, holding tho towel up at full length and eying it critically. "I got one quite as good for 37J4 cents at "While's." "You did?" "Yes, but it was eight or nine weeka ago, and 1 don't s'poss they've any more like it." "I may be mistaken, but I've an idea it would shrink," says numbor three, taking the towel from number two and wrapping a corner of it over her finger. "See, it's a little thin." "Well, I wouldn't mind if it did shrink a little, because oh, look at this one! Isn't it lovely?" "Beautiful! How much is it?" "A dollur and a half." "Mercyl I'd never pay that for a- bach towel." "Xor I." "These colors would fade." "Of course they would." "Do you know I like good plain crash aa well as anything for towels." "I don't know, but see those towels for fifteen cents. I paid twenty-five cents for some last week not a bit better." "Let's see; they aro full length? Yes. They are cheap. I've a good notion to but I guess I won't. I have so many tow els now." "fnhey'ro a bargain if one only really needed them." "How do you like towols used as tidies?" "Horrid' "I think so, too." "So do I oh, let mo tell yon. I saw a woman on tho street one day with an apron made out of a rod and white fringed towel!" "Mercy! Looked like fury, didn't it? How was it made?" "Oh, one end was simply gathered to a baud, and there, the towel was just like this one and she'd taken it so and gathered it in so, and really it didn't look so bad, after all." "Do you suppose the colors would run in this border?" "Well, I hardly know. I had one very much like St once, and the colors in it ran dreadfully the very first time I washed it." "Then I'll not take this, for I why, if it isn't 4 o'clock, and" "I must go." "So must I." "And I no.I'll not take the towel today." St. Louis Chronicle. Nice Country Recipes. A country housewife says: I know of nothing so delicious in hot weather as hung buttermilk. Fill a Jelly Img or cloth (which is quite free from holes) with but termilk (which is bettor if it has been churned two or three days), let it hang all night, when tho water will have strained out. Turn the curd that remains into a bowl, and mix by degrees as much sweet milk or cream as will make it the consist ency of thick cr&am, blending it well to re move all lumps. When it is quite smooth sweeten to tnsto, and add the juico of any prcssrve to flavor it. WhisTc for fivo or six minutes and pour it into a glass dish. An other way is to bang tho buttermilk all night, as before, than blend the curds very smoothly with thick cream and sweeten. Dissolve in milk ono-qu:;rtcr ounce of isinglass which has been melted over the fire, stir this into tho cream, and whisk for a few minutes, than pour tha mkctur into a mold. When stiff turn it out aud serve. Pretty Summer Counterpanes, tc. Very pretty counterpanes or bedcovers for summer are made of broad, coarse linea strips, with guipure iasortion. either straight down or sianricg ncroa the bed. Embroidered tea cloths in ilax threads of various tints are much fancied. For these a hemstitched border is ijeaerally preferred to one of fringe or lace. Acharm ing effect may be obtained by selecting two pretty colors, sketching in the design, then valuing flowers and leaves with the darker color and overcasting tho edge closely with tha other.

Few ceremonial customs have originated in recent time3, avers GsxrickiLillery, who expresses himself as follows in a recent is sud of Tho American Anthropologist: Their forms, whether now trivial or still impor tant in sociolosy, are vestiges of the past, and only by anthropologic studies aro traceabje to their genesis and early form. All authorities, unswayed by a religious or theorizing bias, agree that in the origin of these ceremonies there was nothing de signed or inton&onal; that is, they were not directly invented wish definite pur poses. A thing is not now and never has beon customarily done because it is intrin sically right, but is considered to be right after and because it has been habitually done, whatever its origin or tho circum stances in which it prevailed. The rules of courteous behavior as they now exist are not tho immediate effect of deliberate conventions, but are the natu ral and alow product of the forces gradu ally developing social lifo, and they ex hibit the laws of evolution, with as great distinctness as is demonstrated in tho physical realm. Men havo not fabricated, though they have framed rulei for them selves. They havo fallen into tho customs from which rules wera framed, and then by unintended modifications have deviated Into novelty and new rules. Peter tho Groat and His Swarfs. Formerly it was the custom of the great to maintain dwarfs in their retinue, and in tho middle ages there were few royal courts without one, and there- ara some in stances of these, little people rising to dis tinction. Peter tho Great, czar of Russia, who was himself between 6 and 7 feet high, was very fond of dwarfs. When he went on his travels ha had in his retinue four dwarfs. The most celebrated of Czar Peter's dwarfs? was, a-littlo lady whom he called Poupee. When fully grown to wo manhood she was only as tall as a child of 5 or C years of age. She was very pretty and extremely clever, and the gigantic czar took the greatest de light in her company, and was nevor tired of amusing himself with the lively littla creature. Dwarfs seldom live to a grea age, but this tiny-mite outlived her friend? the czar and all the members of his courts and reached the age of 100 years. She had never suffered from any illness, and pre-1 served all her faculties to the close of her long lifo. Hari-kari, or theK2sppy Dispatch. Hari-kari, or the happy dispatch, was a Japanese method of execution. When an ofacial of rank was condemned to death a sword wa3 sent to him; he took leave of his family, performed certain religious rites and then plunged the sword into his bowels, drawing it down and across. If a gentleman had been insulted he would commit hari-kari on tho doorstep of his enemy, who by tho Japanese codo of honor was compelled to do the same. Only old fashioned persons perform the happy dis patch nowadays in Japan; it has been shelved along with many other good old customs of that lovely empire, says Tho Sun. i Dr. Broirn-Sequnrd Distanced. j The medical press is now announcing tho alleged discovery by Dr. Malin-Conico, of Naples, of the "microbe of old age." The public is informed through Italian jour nals that the microbe of old age exists and. is transmitted by heredity; invades with ago the entire numan organism, which it ravages and destroys, leading to caducity and finally to death. It is to be hoped that Dr. Malin-Conico's "discoveries" will not end here, but that having found the sub tle enemy he will next announce a success ful means of combating it, and provide the patient public with a now elixir of youth. Tho Flour-de-llo. The royal insignia of France, the fleur-de-lis, is generally supposed to havo originally represented the lily. Authority on the legends and history of plants says: "In France tho fleur-de-lis i3 so named by a corruption of fleur-de-Louis; it does nob represent, as is generally supposed, the flower of a lily, but an iris, which was the emblem adopted by Louis VII on leaving for the Crusades, and was worn by the suc cessors of that monarch." Tho I.atln Races. Strictly speaking tho Latin people were tholnhabitanta of Latium, in ancient Italy. The Latin races of today are the descend ants, more or less remote, of those races who speak languages more or less derived from tho Latin tongue. Such races aro tho Italians, Spanish and Portuguese and French. The South and Central American countries are called Latin America because their inhabitants are of Spanish and Por tuguese extraction. Garibaldi's Island Home. The representatives of the family of the late Gen. Garibaldi havo sold to tho Ital ian government their patrimony in the island of Caprcra for SOO.OOOf. They only reserved from the sale the house, tomb and garden of tho famous general. The gov ernment, beforo acquiring full possession of the island, paid a further sum of 150, OOOf. as compensation to different persona. The America's Cap. The America's cup was originally called the Queen's cun, and was given by the Boyal Yacht squadron in May, 1851, fpr a race around tho Isle of Wight. Th schooner yaeht America, of which Com modore J. C. Stevens, of the New York Yacht clnb, was tho principal owner, won tho trophy Aug, 23, 185L Massachusetts. Tho name of tho state of Massachusetts is said to be ono of Indian origin, and ac cording to some authorities signifies "The Country of Hills," while others maintain that "Blue Hills" is the correct interpre tation. Soubriquet of American Poet. John G. Whittier is known as the Bach elor Poet, John G. Saxe is sometimes styled the American Hood, and Walt Whitman is called the Good Gray Poet. Escaloped Fish. An appetizing dish in warm weather is escaloptid fish. Pick fine the rtmnanife of fresh rtsh kft from dinner, either baked, boiled or fried, remaving all bones and skin. Butter a pudding dish and lay in the fish in layars, seasoning each layer with bits of butter, salt and pepper. Spread one-half of a cupful of cracker cramh3 over the top, well battered, pour enough milk over the whole to quite thoroughly moisten it and bake twenty minute in a quick oven. Any kind of fish will do, Iras fried halibut is the nicest. Halibut re quires a little more milk than fraah cod.

Oil spots, if not too old, are easily re moved from marble by repeatedly covering them with a cream of calcined magnesia and benzine, and brushing off the former after the dissipation of the latter. Fashionable table centers just now are made in soft silk or muslin thrown into easy folds and interspersed with plate or ornaments.

When Napoleon IH made a triumphal entry into Bordeaux soon after the coup d'etat it was arranged that from an arch of fiowejs under which ho was to pass an imperial crown should hang, sur mounted by "He well deserves it." But the wind blew away tha oyown, and when the usurper passed undr the arch, to the great joy of the Republicans, only a rope with a noose at the end of it dangied there, with "He well deserves it" standing out in bold relief above it.
