DR.. Willet ecturing in Boston the other night,
told droll story Of himself. He said that at one
time, when he was a connosseur in birdstuffing he
used to criticise other peoples brdstung severely
Walking with gentleman one day, he stopped at a
window where a gigantic owl was exhibited. "You
see" said the Doctor to his friend, that there is
magnificent bird utterly ruined by unskllful
stufiing Notice the mounting! Execrable, is MT
itf No living owl ever roasted in that position.
And the eyes are fully third larger than any owl
ever possessed" At this moment the stuffed bird
raised one foot and solemnly blinked at bis critic,
who said very little more about stuffed birds that
afternoon.

The Sons OF Temperance at Live Oak, Florida.
were recently agitated upon nice and difficult
point. Christmas was rapidly approaching, and the
question was whether eggnog was TO be considered
"A beverage" After long discussion and the
grayest deliberation it was determined in the mega
tive. 1t follows, of course. that punch, flip and
other compounded drinks are not beverages 40 that
the Florida Sons OF Temperance may become Sons

Some people are puzzled to see why the dis
tributOn of few shares of Credit Mobilier
stock in Congress could possibly have cor
rupting influence. In the Investigating Com
mittee, yesterday, the progress of the invest
mout of Mr.. Nelson was shown. He expended
$4,000; inside of year he netted S109,OOO
therefrom. Suppose Congressman had made
such an investment at the suggestion of Mr..
Oakes Ameo, the great railroad agent?

We take great pleasure in saying that the
testimony seems to exculpate Gen. Garfield
completely from any blame in the Credit Mo-
blier scandal. This result may well be made
a subject of sincere congratulation by the
country at large. Gen. Garfield is one of the
most valuable members of the House, and has
been looked to with most regard by earnest
friends of reform. That such man should
have been involved in this disgraceful scan
da1 was bad enough; that he should come out
with skirts clean is what his friends expected
and the country had right to demand.

Preserving Flower Stakes.

flower stakes which have been
in constant use for over nine
years, and their points are yet
perfectly sound and good. l take
common coal tar and bring it to
the boiling point in kettle some
twelve inches deep; l then place
the lower part of it in the boiling
tar immersing it as deeply as the
pot will allow. After they have
remained therein ABOUT ten min
utes, | take them out allow the
surplus tar to drain off, and roll
the hard portion in clean, sharp
sand, covering every part of the
tar. After they have become
perfectly dry, l give them anoth-
er coat of tar, completely
the sanded part. Then,
after being thoroughly dried they
will last for years. Some of them
| have painted three times white
lead and oil paints on the upper
part and they are ready Tor a

How to make Stalls for Cows
and Oxen.

Now is the time to make prep
arations for building stalls for
stock. 1t should not be neglec-
ted until cold weather, as the an
mals will frequently need protec
ton during the cold and stormy
nights of Autumn. Stalls should
be wide enough to admit of the
animals turning in them, the
sides closely boarded up, the floor
raised seven or eight inches above
that of the passag way in the rear
with an outward pitch of about
three inches in the length ofthe
etall, the entrance of each closed
with two leaved folding doors op-
enlng inwards. There need be
no rings, stanchions, or any tying
or festening by the head. No an
mel not absolutely a fool will
ever stand with head down hill.

Keeping Apples

The horticultural editor of the
Country Gentleman, after try
ing various way has come to the
conclusion that the best way to
keep winter apples is ON shelves
in the center of the fruit cellar.
Shelves about five feet wide, far
enough apart to admit of conven-
ience in asserting, with passage
all around, so that the fruit can
be reached from both sides.
Would have the fruit shallow up-
on the shelves, that the decaying
apples may be picked out with
out moving the sound ones, and
those beginning to decay should
be picked out and used first.
The fruit cellar should be separa-
ed from the main one by brick
vail, kept dry, and at a very
ow temperature. This is the,con-
ul of long experience, and close
md intelligent observation.

Here ic q story which l want
the boys and girls to remember.
There was once a little boy (he
was not very little either, for he
had grown quite large enough to
manage 8 horse easily, and do
crest many things, which made
him feel almost a man) who
went up TO his room one night
said his prayer very properly,
and want to bed. But he eouldn't

side, counting Q hundred forward

hymns and long poems; but, try

duty and it weighed 90 heavily
upon his conscience that it was
impossible for him to find rest.
1t last he got up, CROPPED his way
down stairs to his mothers room,
and simidly Knocked at the door.
"Who's there p cried his faith

HWell who are youg"
He had several children, and
upon hrst awakening could not
distinguish the voice.
"It is Willie, pa; please let me

"No sir am not sick; but /
must see MOTHER
At this the mother got up in
the darkness and unfastend the
door. When the little boy found
her he threw his arms around
her neck and kissed her warmly.
There were tears on his cheeks
end tears N his voice, when he
cried:
30 mother l went to bed with
out kissing you. l forgot it,
mother: indeed 1 did; and l
could not sleep when l thought
of it.n
You may be sure his mother
was by this time in tears herself.
They were tsars Of gratitude to
God for having given her such
an affectionate child. She drew
him to her and kissed him again,
and again, and, with a blessing
on him, dispatched him again to
bed. The burden off his con-
science, he soon fell asleep; and
never again, until he left home a
man to battle with the great
wicked world, did he forget to
kiss mother good night.-Chi1-

breakfast or dinner. table, the same
courtesy should prevail as if guests were
present. Reproof, complaint, unpleas-
ant discussion and scandal, no less than
moody silence, should be banished. Let
the conversation be genial, and suited to
the little folks as far as possible. Inter-
esting incidents of the days experience
may be mentioned at the evening meal,
thus arousing the social element. II re-
sources fail, sometimes little bits read
aloud from the morning or evening paper
will kindle the conversation.
No pleasanter sight is there than a
family of young folks who are quick to
perform little acts Of attention to their
elders. The placing Of the big armchair

Just what Iwas wanting, Susie,' does
not indicate that the little attention is
appreciated, the children soon drop the
habit. Little people are initiative crea-
lures, and quickly catch the spirit sur
rounding them. So, if when the moth
er's spool of cotton rolls from her lap,
the father stoops to pick it up, bright
eyes will see the act, and quick minds
make note Of it. By example, thou
sand times more quickly than by pre-
cept, can children be taught to speak
kindly to each other, to acknowledge IA
vors, to be gentle and unseifish, to be
thoughtful and considerate of the COM
fort of tho family. d. The boys, with in
ward pride OF their fathers courteous
demeanor, will be chivalrous and help
full to their young sisters; the girls, imi-
tating the mother, will be gentle and pa.

noisy and needless.
Scolding is never allowable; repoof
and criticism from parents must have
their time and place, but should never
intrude so far upon the social life of the
family as to render the home uncomfort-
able. A serious word in private will
generally cure a fault more easily than
many public criticisms. In some fami-
lies a spirit of contradiction and discus
sion mars the harmony; every statement
is, as it We're, dissected, and the absolute
correctness of every word calculated. I;
interferes seriously with social freedom
when unimportant inaccuracies are
watched for, and exposed for the mere
sake of exposure. Brothers and sisters
sometimes acquire au almost uncon
scious habit OF teasing each other, hall

larry uncomfortable for everybody else,
whatever doubtful pleasure the parties
! themselves may experience.
In the home where true courtesy pre-
walls, it seems to meet you on the very
threshold. You feel the kindly welcome
on entering. No rude eyes scan youl
dress. No angry voices are heard NJ

the room. No peremptory orders are
given to cover the delinquencies o.
housekeepers or servants. A delightful
atmosphere prevades the house--unmis
