^tumorous Department. A MUD BATH. A Drummer's Unique Story oi the Way It Was Taken. Two drummers walked up to the counter of one of the hotels last evening. The night clerk stood behind it, monarcn 01 ait ne umu t sui vcj. The legs of the bellboys dangled from a row of chairs in front of the desk. To the side a reporter, with half shut eyes, saw scoops in the ceiling and heard them in the elevator. "Say, Pete, scratch out that bath item from my bill, will you ?" said one of the drummers to the clerk. The speaker was a dapper little fel low, with a eollossal gift of gab. "Couldn't you stand the mud bath ?" asked the big strapping drummer with the shaking cheeks. "No," was the disgrunted reply. "Muddy Mississippi river water is the healthfulest thing in the world to bathe in," said the night clerk, mounting his stool, which stood near the cashier's desk. "Pshaw !" exclaimed the little drummer. "The way I do," said the big traveling man, "is to let the water staud in the tub for several hours. The mud settles iu the bottom, and the ??? "iom.

It's so muddy you can sharpen a knife on it." "Yes ?" "Well, my partner, he gets into the water, mud and all, and takes a bath anyhow." "He does, eh ?" And how does he come out?" "Well, my partner," I said, "gets into the mud and water and takes a bath." "It don't do him any good," said the bigger drummer. "No," replied the other, "not until he dries?" "And what then ?" "Why, it takes two hours to dust him off."The pair of them laughed. "Your bill's $30," said the clerk. i Tf Bias nnlv $25 a moment X.XJ . XV ~ J - ago, mud bath included." "Yes," returned the clerk, "but $5 is for lying." The little drummer passed three tens through the window and walked out into the night.?New Orleans Picayune. BREAKING IT GENTLY. He was digging rock in a phosphate mine on the Ten Mile hill, near Charleston, and I was assistant superintendent of the place. One day after the hands had knocked ofl, he said to me: "Boss, is you know how fur rite one letter?" I assured him that my education had extended that far and asked to whom he wished vo write. "To ray bredder," said he. "And where is your brother?" "He am een de penitentiary." "For what ?" "He kill one man." "Oh, he murdered some one?" "He ain't murder no one. He slaughter 'era." "Ah, manslaughter!" "Dat's de way. Will you please rite one letter to 'em en arx how he do? He name Gus Pritchard." "How is that, when you are his brother, and your name is Robinson ?"

"Very well, I'll write to inquire about Pritehard." I wrote to the superintendent of the penitentiary in Columbia and was informed that Pritehard had been dead for several months. I did not like to tell the news iu person to Robinson, so I asked George Washington to do so, and I endeavored to impress upon George the necessity of breaking the news gently. "Oh, I know wha' you mean," said George, "I know. All right, sah." On the following day I asked George whether he had broken the news to Robinson, and he replied : "Oh, yes, sah. I tell 'em een de way wha' you say I muss. Fuss I say, 'Sambo, enty you got one bredder?' En he say, 'Yes.' Den I say, 'Enty you bredder am een de penitentiary ?" En he say, 'Yes,'again.

FOURTEEN RULES FOR DISHWASHING. The following simple rules?as taught in the cooking schools?hung in the kitchen, and followed may prove of value to the young housekeeper or the "new girl": 1. Collect knives, forks and spoons by themselves. 2. Put away any food that has been left, on small, clean dishes, never leaving fragments on dishes on which they were served. 3. Scrape all fragments sticking to dishes or pans into a refuse pail or in the back of the ash pan underneath the fire box, where they may dry out and then be burned. a k _ 11 *i.. ??. Arrange an uiaucs tuiivcmcuuy on the table, putting glass nearest the dish pau, then silver, next the fine china, beginning with cups, saucers and pitchers, and lastly the greasy dishes. 5. Riuse out milk bottles, pitchers and egg cups with cold water. Empty and rinse cups. Put any dishes used in baking to soak in cold water. Fill kettles and spiders full of cold water, and set away from the stove to soak. If left on the stove, the heat hardens whatever has adhered to the sides in cooking aud renders it harder to remove. 6. Have onq pan half filled with hot, soapy water. For this purpose, keep the soap in a shaker made for this object, or improvise one by putting a few holes through the bottom of a small lard or cottolene pail. Never leave the soap in the dish pan to waste and stick to the dishes. Have a second pan ready full of hot water for rinsing before draining. 7. Wash glasses first, slipping them one at a time sideways into the hot water, so that the hot water touching them outside and inside at the same time may obviate the danger of breakage from unequal expansion. Dry immediately on a clean glass towel, or on squares of old cotton cloth hemmed and kept for this purpose. 8. Wash the silver, and wipe at once from the soapy water, rubbing any piece with silver polish that seems at all discolored. 9. Wash the china, standing the plates aud saucers on edge in the rinsing pan, and setting the cups right side up, that they may be thoroughly rinsed. Scald the milk pitchers. 10. Wash steel knives and forks in warm, not hot, water, scouring the blades if necessary. JNever leave tne handles in water, as it tends to loosen thera. 11. Rub tins inside and out, using sapolio if discolored, and paying especial attention to the seams of the double boilers. Set on back of range to dry. 12. Wash ironware inside and out with hot, soapy water, rinse thoroughly in clear water and dry. Dripping pans and kettles that have been used with grease may be wiped off first with a soft paper, to remove as much of it as possible, then washed in the suds, with a tablespoonful of soda added to the water. Granite dishes browned by neglect may be cleaned by boiling a half hour in soda water, then rubbing vigorously. Do this several times if necessary. 13. Coffee pots should never be washed inside with suds, but in clear water. Dry thoroughly on back of stove, wiping out with a clean cloth when dry, to remove the brownish sediment that is apt to cling to the pot. 14. Wash dish towels in lukewarm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry after every meal, and they will keep soft and clean. The Chief Expense.?The Savannah News says the greatest expense on a farm is the feed bill for men and animals and when the South produces its own forage, corn and meat, the profits of middle men and the cost of transportation of provisions from the West will be added to the profits of the Southern farmers. What then remains above the cost of production of the amount received for the cotton, rice and tobacco crops will be profit, aud will not have to go to pay previous bills. This is all very true and the sooner the fact is realized and the course here laid down followed the better olF, and more independent the Southern farmer will be. Ble8~ The best way to take ink out of linen is to soak the spots in sour milk. Put the cloth in fresh milk and set it where it will turn sour. The process of souring seems to assist in drawing out the stains. Rub the spots after they have been soaking 24 hours in the milk after it has curdled, just as you would wash any spot in water. They will finally become very faint, and may now be washed out in water, and the first time they are put through the weekly washing the probability is that all traces of the ink stains will have disappeared. 1ST "A mistake frequently made when constructing a poultry house is in placing the perches too high from the floor. Chickens of heavier breeds should roost only a few feet from the floor in order to prevent injury in flying down. Another mistake is in overcrowding. A room 10 feet square and 10 feet to the comb, even though well ventilated should not hold more than 30 or 40 fowls as a roosting place. Most authorities would say not more than 25." To Cure Warts on Man or Beast. Take a half-piut bottle, fill one-third with whisky and the remainder with good turpeutine, shake well before applying ; moisten the warts five or six times a day, and as they become sore, less frequently. When they show signs of decay, stop the treatment, and grease with clean lard for a day or two. It is an infallible cure ; simple and cheap, and causes no pain.

I was sitting in ray office indulging in a choice Havana and running ray eyes over the newspaper, when my attention was reclaimed by a faint rap upon the door. I bade the person enter, when the door softly opened, and a young and exceedingly beautiful maiden came in. She was modestly, yet becomingly attired, and her every movement was easy and graceful. "Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Xeedharo, the detective?" she asked. I replied affirmatively. "My name is Edith Ellis, sir, and I wish to obtain your aid in extricating myself from a somewhat embarrassing situation," she said. "I shall be most happy, Miss Ellis, to render you all the assistance that may lie in my power," I replied. "Will you please state you case ?" My fair visitor thereupon proceeded to explain her predicament, setting forth the following facts: She had that morning started from S to visit relatives in Massachusetts ; her cousin was to have met her ~ i- - vt i 4 . i...* .... ai me i>ew ioik ueputj uui upuu her alighting from the train in New York, a telegram was handed to her, it being from Iter fat Iter, which advised her that a letter had tardily reached her parent, since her departure?the letter having been written by one of the relatives she was about to visit? in which the request was made that she should defer her proposed visit a fortnight, as they "had very suddenly been summoued from home, and should be unable to return until after-a week or more of absence. She had taken with her a $100-bank-note, and enough currency to pay her fare besides. Having read the message from her father, she had at once decided to do a little shopping, and then return on the afternoon train. It was then nearly 11 o'clock, and she had partaken of no food since early in the morning, and the long ride had imparted a good appetite. So she had entered an eating-saloon on Broadway, and after eating a good ! dinner, had offered the $100-bank-note to be exchanged to the proprietor of the house. The latter, after examining the note, had told her that it was counterfeit. She .had explained to him that she had no other money with her, where upon the proprietor had brutally upbraided her, charging her with having known that the bill was spurious, and threatening to have her arrested unless she should leave with him some pledge for the payment of the amount due for her dinner. She had thereupon taken from her finger a diamond ring of great value, and handed it to the man, charging him to retain it until she should call in person or send a messenger for it. The man had then given her his card, that she might know where to find him again when she should get ready to redeem the ring. She hud then departed, going in quest of a friend whom she supposed to be still in the employ of a mercantile firm on Broadway, where he had obtained a situation as a bookkeeper, j That frieud she could uot find, he | having left the merchant's employ many mouths before that time. She had then become extremely dejected. Alone in a great city, without a friend nr on Qpniuiintfinpp jinrl with iir? other v. ... money than a worthless bill with which to pay her fare home, the prospect was anything else but eucouraging. But at last she had hit as she supposed upon au expedieut. She would return to the geutleman who held her finger-ring and request of him the small amount she required to enable her to return home. He, of course, would be willing to let her have that much more, inasmuch as the pledge she had left with him was worth more than $100. Noting now for the first time the name, street and number upon the card, she had immediately started for the same. Arriving thither she found it to be a very different place from that she had called at earlier in the day. The man who had received her pledge had giveu her as his own the card of another person. She had searched long and diligent ]y to find the place; but as she had not noted the number when there, she had failed to find it. Tears gathered in the girl's eyes as she concluded this statement. At my request she showed me the spurious uote. Upon my examiuing it I fouud it to be a very poor counterfeit. I then questioned the girl upon several points, gleaning the followiug facts: Her father had obtained the note at a national bank that morning. She had not offered it in exchange, nor shown it to any persou save only the proprietor of the saloon where she had eaten dinner. The man to whom she had presented it went from her sight with it; but quickly returned, pronouncing it bad. I was uow convinced that the man who had received her diamond ring was a fraud, that he had exchanged, while absent from her sight, her own banknote for that worthless counterfeit he had returned to her hands, and that he had purposely given her another's card to prevent, if possible, her again finding his quarters, that he might not be called upon to give up the finger-ring. I encouraged the lady with the assurance that I would leave no stone unturned by which to have her victiraizer found, and made to disgorge what he hud taken from her. I also informed her that I was going tn S that afternoon, and would accompany her to her home, if she would accept ray escort. But I suggested that she should first go with me through that portion of Broadway which she had passed through, and see if, together, we could not find the saloon where she obtained her dinner. We acted on the suggestion, and I had hut little difficulty in finding the place from my companion's description of its proprietor. Whispering to Miss Eilis, I asked if she recognized him as the one. She said she did. I then approached the man, and blandly inquired if he was the gentleman who "run" the establisment. I then asked him if my companion had not that morning left in pledge there a diamond finger-ring. He promptly replied in the negative, declaring he had never before met the young lady. I begged the fellow's pardon, and remarking that Miss Ellis had evidently mistaken the pluce, I conducted her away. My next move was to go home with the girl, show the bill to her father, | and then to the cashier who had given him the $100-note in exchange that I morning, and then to return and confront my man ; for I had now not a particle of doubt as to the identity and the character of the fellow, with proof which should send him to Sing Sing. Mr. Ellis immediately upon being shown the note declared it to have been not at all like the one he had given his daughter, and he produced his pocketbook and gave me the number of the note he had given her, together with other particulars by which it could easily be identified. He said he alwas took that precaution, not knowing what might occur. In less than a month I had my man in Sing Sing. I, of course, had found in his possession the identical hank note which he had taken from tne girl, and had also restored the diamond ring to her finger. A large quantity of the "queer" was also found iu his possession. I was a young man then, and this was my maiden case, or was nearly so, and upon learning that my fair client was free of heart and hand, I made bold to ask her to allow me to be her "detective" and protector through life's travels, and ?well, she is at this moment?ten years since then?looking over my shoulder and poutingly exclaiming: "Charles, I do hope you are not goiugto note down that horrid affair?"
