A simple expedient for riding the house of mice is to place a little of! of peppermint or sprays of the fresh herb round their haunts, as they have a great antipathy to the odor For cockroaches, potato ash formed by burning the parings to a cinder on the back of the stove, will ef'feC- tually banish them if scattered about the places where they congregate. Water bugs, that pest of the city apartment, will vanish if all cracks and crevices where they run are sprayed three or four times a dav with water in which carbolic acid has been dissolved in the proportion of two tablespoonfuls of acid to one pint of water. Care must be taken in handling the acid. stew PULLING ONIONS . To peel onions without bringing tears to the eyes, put them in a deep pan and pour boiling water over ‘them, as for skinning tomatoes. By the time you can bear your hands in the water the onion skins are loosenâ€" ed enQUgh to be easily slipped o'i, often without any aid from a knife Should there be any not so readilv loosened, hold them well under the warm water while peeling. Your .eyes will be spared and your hands will absorb less of the odor than in the common way of paring. ._.__..+-_. BIASED JUDGMENT. A Singing Contest in the East End of London.

Natal Hero Vlho Saved a Garrison Sixty Years Ago. halal is considering the erection of a suitable memorial to llick King who saved a British gairison from destruction in the i'mcr war of over sixty years ago by an heroic ride of more than (200 miles, says the Daily Mail. Captain Smith. with a small llritâ€" ish force, had marched overland to Durban in 1812, and there his troops Were defeated by Pretorius, and were in danger of being compelled to surrender, states the Cape Times. On May 25, swing thaf his troops were surrounded. be determined at all hazards to send a message to Crnliamstown asking for reinforcc~ nil-ms. Mr. Cate, an old Natal pioneer, offered to get the message sent. and at midnight he saw Richard King. an expert horseman and hunter, of Durban. King consented to lake the message. Captain Smith providâ€" ed him with two horses. and Mr. Cate roWed him across the bay to in the Bluff, where his famous ride be- flr-V human relations 01' life he seemed gan. Riding his horses alternately, he reached and had crossed the Umlazi River by daybreak. He was now safe from pursuit by the Boers, but a long and perilous ride through a savage country lay before him. On the ninth day after leaving Durban he rode into Grahamstown utterly exhausted, having covered 600 miles and crossed numerous rivâ€" ers, over some. of which he had to swim. Urgent messages were sent to the Cape, and thirty-one days later rockets and blue lights from the Southampton in Durban Bay told the anxious garrison, then on the point. of surrendering, that re- lief had arrived. \B_ DEADLY ANAEMIA. Leads to Consumption Unless Promptly Cured. Many a young life might be saved from consumption if simple anaemia were promptly treated. Anaemia is the doctors’ name for weak, watery blood. When the blood is in this condition the lungs have no strength. The whole system begins to break down. Then the growing girl slips slowly into decline, until at last the cough starts and her doom is sealed. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills can cure all weak, anaemic people without doubt or difficulty. They actually make new, rich, healthâ€"giving bloodâ€"they cure anae- mia and prevent consumption. This has been proved in thousands of cases. Mrs. Edward Cochran, Mer- riton, Ont., sayszâ€"“Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured my daughter Maâ€" tilda, when I felt that her case was almost hopeless. For more than a year she was a sufferer from anaeâ€" mia. She gradually grew weak, was subject to violent headache, and dark circles appeared under her eyes. She was melancholy, had no appe- tite and complained of being conâ€" stantly tired. At different times she was treated by two doctors, but with no improvement. As her case progressed, she was attacked by vioâ€" lent palpitation of the heart, and a mull 12â€"- f n i YOU A ‘1“ motive SO BEWARE. increased profits. sold only in lead packets.

In a. few (lays the house once occuâ€" pied by Henry (.afimnlish on (lap- ham Common, London, England, willi have been sold, the great garden will‘ lJI‘obably Very soon be made a (lumpâ€"i ing ground for bricks and mortar, 'says ’1‘. P‘s. Weekly, and the abode of one of the shyest of men will be open, in its downfall, to the puli‘5c gaze. Cavendish, so far as we have1 any record, was only ill Once in his‘ life, and that, illness killed him at‘ the respectable age of 79. He told his physician that "any prolongation of life would only pro- long its miseries," and he died, as he had lived, alone. For the ordin to care nothing; he was absorbed in his experiments, and loved his hooi s and his laboratory more than anv- thing else on earth. Henry Caven- dish, who has been called "the modâ€"3 ern Newton,” was born in 173.1, only four years after Newton's death. fe was educated at a private school at‘ Hackney. from which he passed to Peferhouse, Cambridge, whiCh he left three years laf er without a degree. l ‘ balance in .not the least; but we thought derful, acute eyes observing. and :1. pair of NW kiiful hands experi- imenfing or rm" :5, are all that I irealiye in read is memorials." He simply if ' income to accu- mulate. One, s bankers, finding that they in lance of £80,000 to his credif, Kr'llk .ip a messenger to consult him about it. (‘avcndish Was extremely perturbed, but he co sent- ed to see flu: messenger. "What do you come here for?” he asked. “What do you want wichne?” "Sir, I thought it proper to wait upon you. as we have a very large hand of yours, and we wish your orders respecting it.” “If it is any trouble to you I will take it out of your hands. Do not come here. to plague me!" "Not the least trouble to us, sir, you might like some, of it to be invested.’ “Well, well, what do you want to do?" "Perhaps you Would like £40,000 invested ! " “Do so, do so! And don’t come here to trouble me, or I'll remove it." He was essentially a shy man, to whom it was even diffimilt to speak. Dr. \Vollastnn said: "Theway to talk. to Cavendish is never to'look at him, but to talk, as it were, into vacancy, and then it is not unlikely you may set him g r.” And‘Pro‘. Playfair, who wasfvprequent visitor to the. Royal Societ Club, said: "Mr Cavendish is a member of this meetâ€" Thereafter he was a man of scienc: devoting his whole life to experimenâ€" tal philosophy. "The man who weighed the worlc " wrote Henry Cavendish's cousin, the. late Duke of Devonshire, "buried his science and his wealth in solitude at Clapham.” His science, however, he did not bury, for he published to the world certain facts which placed him in the first rank of experimental phi‘ osophers. It was he who converted oxygen and hydrogen into water, and proved that it consists of these gases; it was he who first stated the difference between animal and core- mon electricity, and it was he who, by a course of ingenious experiments weighed the world. Cavendish had no vanity; he carol for no one's praise, avoided society and was, as one must suppose, an unhappy man. For money he cared little; up to his fortieth year he was comparativdy poor, probably havâ€" ing an annual income of no more than £500, but in 1773 an uncle died who left him an enormous for- tune. Of that he spent very little, he was one of those rare men who have no idea of the value of money. His personal needs were very simple, and the fact that he was rich never seems to have struck him as a mat- ter of interest. Cavendish had two houses, the one on Clapham Common, to which I have referred, and another near ti..- British Museum, at the corner of Gower street and Montague place. He had few visitors, but his librarv was at the service of any one who cared to use it. Yet, so anxious was he to be undisturbed that he hired aj house in Dean street in which to acâ€" commodate his books, and paid a librarian to look after them. When he wanted to refer to his books he ;keeper was by means of notes ing. He is of an awkward appear- ance, and has not much the look of a man of rank. He speaks likewise with great difficulty and hesitation, and very seldom. But the gleams of genius break often through this un- promising exterior. He ne.er speaks at all but it is exceedingly to the purpose, and either brings some ex: cellent information or draws some important conclusion." Cavendish's shyness amounted al- most to a (fiscaSe. He 'shraak from speech with strangers, and if he were approached abruptly he would dart away with a cry like a scared ani mal. At such entertainments as he attended he would often stand on the- landing, afraid to face the company on the other side of the door, nor' would he open it until the approach of some one from behind drove him forward. On one occasion, at a party at Sir Joseph Bank’s house, a certain D". Ingenbousz took upon himself to praise Cavendish to his face in a. high flown and pompous manner bv way of introduction to an Austrian gentleman who was present. The Austrian promptly took the cue, loaded the unfortunate philosopher with compliments, and assured him that he had come to London mainly to meet him. Cavendish stood with, downcast eyes, in abject misery. speaking never a word. Then he saw an opening in the crush, flew to the door, jumped into his carriage and drove home at full speed. Women he hated,- his usual method. of communication with his house.- left. on the hall table, and if any female servant came into his presence she was instantly dismissed. To guard against chance meetings with his household he had a second staircase went around as though to a circulat- l erected in his (glapham villa.

Any cereal can be usel in combination with figs, dates or raisins, and besides being more healthful than when served plain, it is more pleasing to everyone. Place the required amount of cereal and water in the double boiler and add t to 2-3 of a cup of figs or dates for each three cups water USL'd. Cut the fruit in small pieces and st” It in so it will be well distributed, and cook a little longer than no fruit‘is used. the meal is over it may be put in much cups and served cold, being better than without the fruit. lllli‘llli SCOTT'S EMULSION won't make I _ hump back straight. neither WI" it malt: ‘ I mart leg long, but It feeds soft bone :-_ and heal: disused bone and is among 7 A . the few genuine means of recovery In ‘ rlckets Ind bone consumptlon.

East End mission was held one night a week a “Happy Hour for Childâ€" lren.” says the author of “Seven erars Hard," in the course of whicn friendly competitions were held in singing, dancing and games. Small jmoney prizes and ribbons were given ,the “Champions.” 1 One evening it happened that too lgirls, Connie and Hilda, were oppos- led in the, singing contest. Connie‘s father was out of work, and there lwas great distress at her home. The little ones were crying for food, and {their parents were half-crazy with iworry and hunger. The “Happy iIlour" children knew this, but the lcuratc did not. They n'ianifested the most intense interest, buzzing lie ‘so many flies when the two girls ‘stepped upon the platform. ’l‘here was not the slightest (l0fl)l of the superiority of llilda's voice. _Shc sang in a clear, correct soprano. lt‘ounie, on the oil‘cr hand, whose lvoice would have been inferior at any itime, was further hindered by a lsevere cold. so that she broke down twice and was croaky and fliroa1y. Yet when the children were asked to vote, with one accord they shoutel, “Connie!” “You. should vote for the girl who ‘sang best not the one you like lbest," said the curate. “We will vote again. Now. then, for Il'ilda?" Not a hand went up. “For Connie?" A shoal of hands appeared. "What! Do you mean to say that Connie sang better than Hilda?” ex- post‘ulated the curate. weight, until I felt that she was in a hopeless decline. At this time my attention was called to Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ I’ink Pills, and I began givâ€" ing them to her. She had not been taking the, pills many weeks when her appetite was greatly improved, and this was the first sign that they were helping her. She continued the pills until she had taken eight or nine boxes, when she was again the picture of healthy girlhood.

(in one occasion four scientific men Were to dine with him. When his housekeeper consulted him as to what she. was to give them to eat he said a leg of mutton. "Sir," said the. good soul, “that will not be enough for five.” “Well. then, get two," he replied. And this man who was content to eat mutton everlastâ€" ingly had no sense of beauty; he cared for nothing beyond his own work. His biographer, Dr. Georgia \lilson, said of him: "'l‘here was nothing: earnest, en- thusiastic, heroic or chivalrous in the nature of Cavendish, and as little was there anything mean, groveling Eol' ignoble. He was almost passionâ€" less All that needed for its appre- ‘hension more than pure intellect o; ; among j sf ances. ed if looked at, but sometimes ap- proaching to hear what was passing others."
