The Whistle.
DY ROBERT STORY.


"You have hnard" said youth to his sweet
heart VINO stood,
While he sat on corn-shcaf at daylght's de-
cline.
"You have heard of tho Danish boys whistle of
wood
wish that the Danish boys whistle were
mine"
"And what would you do with it? Tell me-"
she said,
While an'orch smile played over her bcauti-
full face
q would blow it," he answered, "and then my
fair maid
Would ay to my side, and would here take her
place"
"Is that all you wish it for? That may be
yours
Without any magic, the fair maiden cried;
" favor so slight ones good nature secures :"
And she playGully scatcdh elf by his side
81 would blow it again." said the youth, and
the charm
Would work so, that not even Modcsty' s check
Would be able to keep from my neck your fine
She smiled, and she laid her inc arm round
his neck.
"Yct once more would blow, and the music
divine
Would bring me, the third time, an exquisite
bliss
You would lay your fair check to this brown
one of mine,
And your lips, stealing past it, would give nc
kiss"
The maiden laughed out in her innocent glce-
What a fool of yourself with the whistle
you'd make!
For only consider how silly 'twould he,
To sit there and whistle for--what you might

LARD AND RosIN FOR TooLs-Take
about three pounds of lard and one pound
of rosin. Melt them togctherin basi or
kettle, and rub over all iron or steel surfa-
ccs III danger of being rustcd 1t can be
put on with brush or piece of cloth, and
wherever it is applied it most effectually
keeps air and moisture away, and of course,
prevents rust, When knives and forks and
other household articles, liable to become
rustcd or spotted, are to be laid away, rub
them over with this mixture, they will come
out bright and clean even years afterwards
The coating may be so thin as not to be per-
ceivcd, and it will still be cffectual Let
every ono keep dish Of this preparation
on hand. AS it does not spoil of itself it
may be kept mixed for months or years.
Mem. Fresh lard containing no salt, should
be used. Rosin is cheap article, and may
be obtucd almost anywhere from four to
six cents per pound -1mcrican Agrtcul-

BREAD A REMEDY FOR DIARRuGA.-

baked ON Good Friday will continue in IL
state of preservation for great number of
years, and manyin this neighborhood have
bread in their houses six, seven, and eight
years old one old lady has cake of bread
twelve years old, quite sweet and good, but
dry and hard. A small piece of this bread
ground to powder, and mixed with small
quantity of brandy, has been proved IN un-
failing remedy for diarrhea and pains in
the body. OF course any other bread, ba-

DEACON BRIGGs.-Old Deacon Briggs
is as remarkable for his closcness as Dick
ems man Barkis. His name has como to
be provcrb for such an economy MS ever
makes the man the subject of ridiculc and
contempt. One bitter cold morning a few
falls ago, he babe the boys drive together
all the pigs that were to be fattencd for
Market into the little yard just at the cor
ncr of the house. A pig was caught by
one Of the youngsters-th Deacon with
a pair of pinccrs in one hand sharp knife
in the other, seized the unfortunate by the
tail and cut it off close up. SO, through
the whole herd, leaving not a pig with even
the stump ola tail Cort, who worked for
his grandfather, stood by in amazement-
his hands in his pockets, his body warped
into crescent by the cold, and his teeth
jawing against the outrage with nrodi-
gious chatter At last he stuttered OUT
"Grandpa, what are you cutting off those
tails fair"
Sober and solemn was Deacon Briggs,
as he replied:
You will never be rich man, for YOU
do not know what it is to be savin! You
ought to know, my child, that it takes a
bushel of corn to fattcn an inch of tail"

ANCIENT SnoEs.-The shoes found in
tho sepulchral chamber of the Mummy, dis
covered in the Short Cave, neighbor of
the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, in 1918,
were made of wrought bark, resembling
South Sea Island cloth. The needles used
in the making of these shoes, which were
in her reticule with other trinkcts, were
without cyelets and were probably used as
knitting needles arc used nowadays. A
substitute for metal thimble was a piece
of wcll-drcssed deer skin, that had thumb
hole through it, so that when in use it COW
cred the palm of the hand. Tho needles
had head in the shape of common-sizcd

somcly scollopcd. These needles we're
made of bone and horn, and were very
smooth, showing that they had been much
used.
