A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Why the Sale of a Horse Did Not Taka
Place.
“I had moved heaven and earth
to get rid of that old skate,”’
the man who loves to trade horses.
“.Of course he wasn’t worth what I
could get for him, but he wwa was rpr cer
tainly worth $1.25, because I had
agreed to throw in the headstall,
which was a new one. I never had
a horse' yet that I wasn’t able to
sell, and the only thing that wor
ried me in this case was that I
might wake up some morning and
find the brute dead from old age.
“I ran across a man at last who
was looking for a horse, and I talk¬
ed him to a standstill before I show¬
ed him the living illustration of the
fact that there is nothing in the
story that a horse never lived over
twenty years. trance,

Largest Prison In the World,
In France at the new prison,
which is about eight miles from
Paris, the authorfties show their be
lief in fresh air and sunshine, and
the prison is a model sanitarium.
The prison is the largest in the
world and takes the place of three
old ones. It is built in a very sim¬
ple style, but covers, with its floral
gardens and-residences of officials,
more than half a square mile. There
ai!e g 0 1,824 cells; but, as
there is - accommodation oti the as
gociation system for about 400 more
prisoners, the total it will contain is
considerably over 2,000,
I ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Brooms That Sweep Clean and Dust¬
ers That Do the Work.
For hardwood o.r stained floors
and those covered with matting a
hair broom should be used. The
hardwood floors need to be dusted
after sweeping. A very easy way of
doing this is to make a canton flan¬
nel bag of some dark color and tie
it over a common broom. A vigor¬
ous rubbing with this covered broom
will add considerable polish to a dim
floor. For wiping floors heavy can¬
ton flannel makes a good cloth. Cut
a convenient size and overcast tho
edges coarsely. This is also an cx
cellent plan for cleaning paint.
1 Lusters made of cheesecloth with
| the hems run in are soft -.to use and
| wash easily. Old indiu <*.r foulard
silk is the best thin 4 i have ever
tried for bric-a-brac and small arti¬
cles. All dusters should be washed
and dried after using. There U
nothing gained by using a cloth
filled with dust. It will not make
anything clean. If brooms, both
large and small, are often washed
and dried, then turned up on their
handles, they will sweep cleaner and
last longer. There should be a con¬
venient place for keeping brooms,
dust pans and cloths. It will savo
many steps if a set is kept on each
floor.—Mary Graham in Woman’s
Home Companion.
