In an assault and battery case tried in a Cleveland court the prosecuting witness testified at length that the de? fendant had knocked him senseless and then kicked him for several min? utes. "If this man's attack rendered you unconscious," demanded the magis? trate, "how is it that you know he kicked you when you were down?" This question seemed to tloor the Witness. He was lost in reflection for sonn? moments; then, brightening, he replied: *i know it. your honor, because that's what 1 would have done to him If I'd got him down."?Circle Maga slne.

[Itch Women Rarely Know How Pood Is Kept, Says a Matron. (From the New York Tribune.) ?'When T)r. Harvey W. VVlb y ?vt-r ?ed to housewiven recently as Lucreiiu Borglas, no duobt his worda reached cw of the ears for which they were ntended, and of those who did read Iiis remarks probably few would have pleaded guilty." said a matron recent y who carries out in her OWtl home ill the up-to-date ideas on housekeep? ing. "Least of all." she continued, would the woman of wealth Imagine that she could be in any way concern id With the facts mentioned. She pays the high* st wages to her cook, her icullery maid has splendid references ind her waitress is a treasure. Why mould ehe suspect any of these func i marles Of dealing out poison to the ramily? If her child should fall 111 the would rack her brain tor the iiise. ami neither she nor. probably, the doctor would ever think of the icebox. The last place visited will be blamed* "What goes on below stairs is iel ?om looked into by the mistress of a fashionable house. She is proud of the wonderful, porcelain-lined icebox which has been built Into her kitchen, hut rarely does she more thun glance into it on her occasional visits to the basement region. The cook cheerily replies In the affl.mrative to the ques? tion, 'Do you keep your icebox clean?1 ind there the matter drops. Yet it is a moral certainty that the Icebox is not emptied of all its con enbe twice a week and scrubbed out; neither are the racks well dried be? fore being put back. It is laf'J to as lUttie, furthermore, that meat is re reived Whfch is not absolutely fresh, for there is a pact between the butch? er and the cook, and that meat It put in the icebox, tainting the air. which is in turn absorbed by the milk. It is quite possible, too, that ice chop? ped for the table has been taken from a part of the block where meat has >&id, and rinsing in water by no means eradicates what it has absorbed. "Even if there are separate iceboxe* for fresh meat, vegetables and milk, as there ought to be, with a separate repository, accessible only to the wait? ress, for table ice, they may not be uesd according to the purpose for which they were intended. Milk is put soone** or later in the handiest place by even the most faithful ser? vant, and from milk that has absorb de germs of decay come many ills in the nursery. Many a time is the milk? man changed on this account, while the trouble is actually caused by the placing of the open bottles in juxta postion with some viand not strictly fresh. "These are only a fraction of the Ahiieeg that go In the best-run houses, unsuspected by the mistress. And a well-paid housekeeper does not better conditions in the least, for housekeep? ers, though more intelligent than cooks, are no more thorough. They dislike to do any work that they can evade, and to order the icebox sys? tematically overhauled and cleaned twice a week would mean that they would have to stand by and see it done. "Even when the facts are known the average mistress refuses to believe in their seriousness. She has never bothered about her ice box, and noth? ing has ever happened to her, she as? serts. If she tried, however, she might recall an instance of an ailing child or an adult's sudden and uncomfort? able Indigestion which a neglected Icebox might have expalined." BGYPTIAN COTTON SCARCER.
