the parents on both sides have correct
ideas of the sanctity which belongs to
this unity. Even as things are in society,
how many married man is indebted to
his mother-in-law for taking a thousand
burdens from his wife's shoulders and his
own! It is the mother in-law who assists
in securing the new house, procuring the
furniture, arranging it in its place, sug-
costing many an expedient for comfort
from her own experience, and putting the
machinery of the household IN working
order. To her the husband owes many
an hour of his wife's society which other
wise would be absorbed by domestic
drudgery; and when the little children
come, it is the wife's mother to whom
they seem the nearest and dearest. 1t is
she that nurses them most tenderly in the
most trying portion of their lives. 1t is
she who spends so many wearisome
hour in the nursery, that he and his
friends may have his wife's company in
the parlor or at the place of public amuse-
ment. A thousand touching stories of
devotion upon the part of the wife's
mother could be told, but we do not in
tend to be pathetic.
Whenever we hear man making dis
paraging insinuation with regard to his
mother-in-law, we always feel like saying
to him, "Sir, you never would have been
anywhere if your father had never had q
mother-in-law." -Haqper'S BGz0r.

Another Interesting Danbury Incident.

Among the large number gathered at
the horse sale Friday, was Colonel Hig-
ginson, who is, as our Danbury readers
well know, very deaf. Along side of him,
stood young man, a stranger, engaged,
as was the Colonel, in watching the sale.
During lull he turned toward the
Colonel, and politely observed: GA pleas
ant day." TIE Colonel saw the move
ment of his lips, but of course heard no
sound, and not wishing to lose what
might be matter of vital interest, he
said: whats that?" at is a pleasant
day." repeated the young man, suddenly
realizing the dreadful insignifcance of
the statement. II did not quite hear you,"
explained the Colonel, leaning forward
with some anxiety. The young man
turned very red, and looked as if he was
about to descend into the bowels of the
earth with his hat on. II said it was a
pleasant day." he again stammered, rails
ing his voice and shivering at the sound
The Colonel's hand went up TO his ear
"Really, sir" he said, in bland manner
81 am afraid you will have to speak a
little louder" The young man grew red
der than ever. How gladly he would
have turned and fed how bitterly he re-
GREETED not keeping the information to
himself. But the Colonel stood waiting;
and raising himself by his toes, the young
man shrilly screamed: at is pleasant
day." The Colonel heard this, and
promptly conceded, and the young man
retreated amid the encouraging smiles Of
the populace.-DGn6atrg NeaoS.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The fumes of birthstone match will
remove berry stains from book or paper
or engraving.
Dry paint is removed by dipping a
swab with handle in strong solution
of oxalic acid 1t softens at once.
If there is rust on your dat-iron, or
other roughness, put some fine salt on a
board, rub it rapidly while warm until it
moves smoothly.
Dutch Sauce-Put into saucepan
one teaspoonful of -four, two ounces of
butter, two tablespoonful each of vinegar
and water, the yolks of two eggs, and
salt to taste; put over the fire and do not
allow it to boil, but stir constantly until
thick; if it happen to curdle strain the
sauce through gravy-strainer: add the
juice Of half lemon, and serve ina sauce
boat.
Force Meat Balls-Take 1 Il fb. of lean
veal (raw), scraped, pounded, and passed
through sieve (the parts that will not go
through may be added to the white stock;
then skin, chop, and pound to paste 1 ID.
of fresh beef suet; then add ozs. of
panada-that is, bread soaked in milk and
boiled till nearly dry-pound this with
the suet and add the veal, tea-spoonful
of salt, d tea-spoonful of pepper, and 4
tea-spoonful Of nutmeg; then add by de
grees eggs; when well mixed, take a
small piece in spoon and poach it in
some boiling water; if delicate and firm
it is fit for use.
Keep some strong spirits ofhartshorn
in a ground glass-stopped bottle. A tea
spoonful in a tablespoonful of water will
clean combs and brushes, and restore
colors injured by acids. A weaker solu-
ton, applied to illsmelling feet and arm
pits, removes the odor, and removes the
grease spots from carpets and clothing.
A weak solution in water makes good
wash for the hair, and stimulates its
growth when impaired by fever, and
cleanses the scalp effectually. A weak
solution, scattered over the leaves of
plants, from soft, fine, timber brush,
gives new life to plants. Even if little
is sprinkled over the earth at their roots,
their growth is invigorated
"A few words in relation to roses which
are to remain in the open ground over
winter. 1t is an excellent plan to head
back the more tender varieties severely
say within nine Or ten inches of the
grOund-and then cover them over with
coarse manure and litter from the stables
But don't kill with kindness; don't give a
coat of manure that would cover the
garden, and then expect the poor plant to
survive. This is almost certain death
The object is not to keep the plant warm,
but to preserve it cool and free from the
fiuctuating temperature of our trying win
ter. Sudden freezing and thawing is
what does the mischief The harder
kinds need only little protection from
the sun, such as is afforded by a few
boughs ofeverg1eens or rough weeds; but
it is mistake to tie them tight. A par
ticular friend once put his up nicely in
corn fodder, thus afording an excellent
Judgment for mice-a courtesy which
these rodents, with sharp ingratitude, re-
ciprocated by eating UP bushes, protection,
and all. In every case head well back,
trimming out the old wood, and the nearer
the ground the better; then give each
plant good fork-full of manure, which
answers a double purpose.

MOthers-in-LaW.

OUR current light literature in all its
departments furnishes hits at mothers.
in-law. The fashion had it's origin in
England. The American witticisms are
mere limitations. What foundation there
may be for these slurs on a large class OF
English women, we do not know. That
they are unjust in America we are sure.
And yet every week one reads something
which the writer manifestly thought to
be smart, which, as it reaches the eyes OF
hundreds of the most self-sacrifcing OF
our women, must give them pain, because
it is an unnecessary and unjust aspersion
of their whole class. Sometimes the form
of the joke is to put into the mouth of
the son-in-law some severe hit at his wife's
mother. 1t is noticeable that it is never
the husbands mother, but always the
wife's mother that gets the blow.
1t is time to pause and inquire into the
justice of this. Is there anything In the
nature of the relationship to necessitate
an antagonism between a woman and her
daughters husband? Or, in point of fact,
do these women conduct themselves in
such way as to justify these hits? In a
very large majority of instances, so far as
the husband is concerned, he has to thank
his mother-in-law for what is beautiful,
attractive and profitable for him in his
wife; the man marries the girl whom this
woman raised. Now, if mothers-in-law
are such hideous things-so base, so mean,
so impertinent-that visit from them is
to be dreaded, how is it that such
hags are the mothers of such houris, and
that such hateful women have been able
to train other women to be so charming?
Whenever, therefore, man slurs his
mother-in-law simply in virtue of her
holding that relation to him, it would
seem to imply something wrong in his
own character or conduct. No true gen
tleman would give his wife any treatment
he would not be perfectly willing to have
her mother witness. Ordinary delicacy
should cause gentleman to be as careful
in speaking of bis wife's mother as of
his own.
AS human nature is constituted, it is
always safer that when young couple
marry, the wife be taken to a distance
from her home, and not to that of her
husbands parents. Then they cling to
each other, each looking to the other for
help and pleasure. 1t is the wife who is
more in danger of trouble from her
mother-in-la,y. A man has to dread trou-
BILE more from his own mother than from
his wlfe's mother, and yet we have to see
the first arrow of witticism shot from
woman's bow against her mother-in-law.
1t is has mother who is apt to torment the
young wife with intimations of how she
did when she first married.
But none of these disagreeable things
happen where a man truly marries a
woman, and she truly marries him, and

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.

Obstruction of nasal passages, discharge
falling into throat, sometimes profuse, watery,
acrid, or thick and tenacious, mucous, puru-
lent, bloody, putrid, offensive, etc. In others
dryness, weak or infiamed eyes, ringing in
ears, deafness, alterations, scalps from ulcers,
voice altered, nasal twang, offensive breath,
impaired smell and taste, etc. Few only Of
above symptoms likely to be present in any
case at one time.
To cure-take DIR. Perce's Golden Medical
Discovery earnestly, to correct the blood and
system, which are always at fault, also to act
specifically, as it does, upon the diseased
glands and lining membrane of the nose and
its communicating chambers. The more see
of this odious disease, the more positive is
my belief that if we would make treatment
perfectly successful in curing it, we must use
constitutional treatment to act through the
blood, as well as a soothing and healing local
application. DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
when used warm and applied withDr. Pierce's
Nasal Douche, effects cures upon common
sense, rational and scientific principles, by it's
mild, soothing and healing properties, to
which the disease gradually yields, when the
system has been put in perfect order by the
use of the Golden Medical Discovery. This is
the only perfectly safe, scientific and success
full mode of acting upon and healing it.
So successful has the above course of treat
ment proven that the proprietor offers $500 re-
ward for a case he cannot cure. All the
means sold by druggists. r. v. PIERCE,

A Whale Caught by Telegraph Cable.

WE published some time ago drawing
of a portion of the Singapore ocean tele
graph cable, which had been pierced and
injured by the lance of a saw fish. We
have here to chronicle an accident of 9
still more extraordinary nature, by which
the Persian Gulf cable was broken. The
particulars are given in Engineering:
"The cable between Kurrachee and
Gwadur "a distance of about three hun
dred miles, suddenly failed on the even
ing of the 4th of October. The telegraph
steamer, Amber Witch, under the com.
mand of CAPTAIN Bishop, with the
electrical and engineering staff under MIR
Henry Nance, proceeded on the following
day to repair the damage, which, by tests
taken at either end, appeared to be one
hundred and eighteen miles from Kur
rachee. The cable was successfully
grappled within quarter of a mile of the
fault.
"The soundings at the fault were very
irregular, with overfalls from thirty to
seventy fathoms. On winding in the
cable unusual resistance was experienced
as if it were foul of rocks; but after per-
severing for some time, the body of an
immense whale, entangled in the cable,
was brought to the surface, where it was
found to be firmly secured by two and a
half turns of the cable Immediately above
the tail. Sharks and other fish had
partially eaten the body, which was rapid
ly decomposing, the jaws falling away on
reaching the surface The TAIL which
measured fully twelve feet across, was
perfect, and covered with barnacles at the
extremities.
apparently the whale was, at the time
of ENHANCEMENT using the cable to free
himself from parasites, such as barnacles,
which annoy whales very much; and the
cable hanging in deep loop over a sub
marine precipice, he probably, with a
flip of his tail, twisted it round him, and
then came to an untimely end"
This is, without exception, the most ex-
traordinary accident that has happened to
any submarine cable which has come
within our knowledge, although many
strange. accidents have arisen. In one
case the cable across the river Var, in the
Isle of Wight was broken by bullock,
which, falling overheard, got entangled
in the cable, finally breaking it.-Sejentifc

has made up his mind to be quite in
earnest he can brave it. and if there be
nothing at all serious in the matter, it
may amuse him.
When men and women are allowed to
take little friendly mutual interest in,
and to become really acquainted with
each other, there may be some chance of
'incompatibility of temper being dis
covered before the happiness of the pair
has been shipwrecked on that rock. 1t
would have another effect, too-there
would not be that silly consciousness
which many woman betrays when re-
ceiving attentions from man, and she
would be less likely to begin Immediately
wondering what his intentions might be-
On the other hand, there are instances
where woman would never suspect in
tentions at all if tattlers did not put the
idea into her head.-GoIde1o Hours.
