Useful Hints.

A lady writing to the Country Gen
tleman thus recapitulates some OF the
valuable suggestions she has had the
good sense to learn from her servant
girls. She says rl-r-.
"The other day Mary was ironing,
and asked for a piece Of sand-psper TO
rub her irons on. was astonished
that had never thought of it before ;
1t Is so nice, removes every bit OF starch
or anything else, and makes them SO
smooth. One girl taught me that old
corsets make the best stOve-cloths.
Just one-half at time is convenient
size. They are ready-made and much
better when unfolded, to take hold oi
anything with, than q made holder,
and much easier to wash. Just throw
them in with the brown towels, as
many as you happen to get soiled
through the week, and they come out
clean and ready to use again. Anoth'
/ er girl pours hot water on the blades
only Of steel knives, and they wipe
and do not need drying. Another one
told nae the best way to keep dry hams
and dried beef was 70 pack in dry salt
We have tried il several years WITH
perfect success. An old salt barrel L
convenient. Set it in some cool dry
place put quite q thick layer Of sail
at the bottom; then pack in the ham:
using the pieces of dried beef, II yoI
have any. for chinking; cover It witt
salt; then hams and salt again, til
the barrel is full. There is not th'
least danger from insects. If the ham
are smoked and the beef dried and
pnt away early, before the hies come
around !; and they are much nicer Z

AneedOte OF Alexander Hamilton.

Hamilton was once applied to for pro-
fessional assistance by man Of New
York city who held the guardianship
OF several orphan children. These
children, then very young, would, on
coming Of age, II they had their rights
succeed to the possession of q large
and valuable estate. In the title deeds
of this estate the guardian had discov-
cred material defects, and he thought
he saw a way, with the assistance OF
an able lawyer, by which he could Sc
cure the title of the whole property to
himself. He opened to Hamilton tE =
whole business, exhibiting copies OF
the title deeds, and explaining how he
would like to proceed. And he prom
ised to the great jurist large reward
IL he would undertake the business.
Hamilton said he must give to mat
ter so important due thought before
he decided, and set time for his
client to call upon bim again.
The guardian called according to
appointment Hamilton had put in
writing faithful minutes OF their con.
versation, which, upon his second
visit, he read aloud.
"I think" said Hamilton, when M
had finished reading, shat this is
true statement Of your plans?"
ayes, sir" answered the client
"That Is correct. II may ask, what
have you decided?"
81 will tell you, replied Hamilton
sternly; "you arenOw completely IL
my power, and consider myself as th'
future guardian of these unfortunate
orphans. have decided that you
will settle with them honorably to the
very last penny, or I will hunt you
from the surface OF the eartb!"
1t may be unnecessary to add tha
the false-hearted guardian did no
pursue his nefarIous scheme any fur.

The NOther.In-LaW.


Mr.. POpkins who for seven years
has been the happy owner OF . prepos-
terOusly positive aad preternaturally
perplexing mOther-in-laW, has writ
ten a lecture. He was out in the back
yard last night rehearsing it. Our
contributor was out In his back yard,
and heard the opening chapter. 1t
went something like this:
No husband VINO has ever properly
studied his mother-in-law can fail 70
be aware that wOmAn's perception Of
heartless villainy and evidences ofin-
tOxieation in man Is often OF that
curious order OF fine vision which
rather exceeds the best efforts OF ordi-
nary microscopes, and subjects the
average human mind to considerable
astonishment. The perfect ease with
which she can detect murderous pro-
clivities, Mormon Instincts aud adj
diction to maddening liquors In n
daughters husband, who, 10 the most
searching inspection Of most every
body else appears to be the most wa
terry, hen-pecked and generally intim-
idated young man OF his age, is one
OF those common Illustrations Of the
infallible acuteness OF feminine judg-
ment, which are doing more and
more every day to establish the posi-
tive necessity Oi WOman's superior in
sight and natural dispassiOnAte firm
ness Of mind for the future wisest
exercise OF the elective franchise and
most just administration Of the high
est Judicial Office.
It may be said that the mother lit
law Is the highest deveiSpmentO Of the
supernatural perceptive and pOsItiVe
woman, since she usually has supsri-
or opportunities for the study OF mai:
in all stages, from marriage to mad
ness, but with her whole sex inheres
an alertness Of observation, as 70 the
incredible vicIOusness OF the maseu-
line character, which nothing less
than q prompt and liberal application
of fiattery, or q happy equivOeal re-
Election upon some rival sister, can
either divert or mislead for = mo-
ment.
Mr.. POpkins' mOther-in-la9 had al
so been an unseen listener up to this
point, when Mr.. POpkins became con-
sciOus of an audience consisting OF q
very red head, cleaning eyes and q
full set of vibFatOry teeth moving to-
ward him; q pair Of srms barred from
the fists TO the elbow, with hands
resting upon her hips, adding TO the
spirit of the picture. Mr.. POpkins
i'm mediately retired through the back
gate, seeming to feel As though he had
stayed long enough. It is more thar
probable he had.-DetrOH Free Press.

When our temperance frieEds ap-
peal to the Bible in support of their
opposition to the system Ofregulating
the traffic in intoxicating liquors by
the civil authorities, they should read
the Bible with REASONABLE degree OF
care. Take the 18th verse Of the XIV
chapter Of Deuteronomy, for example
And thou shalt bestow that money for
whatsoever thy soul lusteth after; for oxen;
or for sheep, or for tOine, or for strong drink
or for whatsoever thy soul deSireth /: and
thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy
God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy
household.
Here was 3 clear, square permission
to buy wine and strong drink, to con-
sumo it, even before the Lord, aud to
rejoice therein with the whole house
hOld-the family.
But some say the liquor OF the Bible
did not make drunk. Let US see
about that. The Lord permitted the
Jews to drink wine and strong
drinks that would intoxicate
If taken to excess, but he pronounced
against drunkenness. Read the
10Th verse of the xxx chapter OF
Deuteronomy, as follows:
ard but then the anger of the Lord and his
jealousy shall smoke against that man, and
all the curses that are written In this book
shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot
out his name from under heaven.
Thus the Lord expressly authorized
the Isrealites to drink intoxicating IL
quOrs, but at the same time pronounce
ed a sweeping curse against the drum
ard.
II this was not regulating the use Of
Intoxicating liquors, pray what was
it? Use, but do not abuse, was the
command. 1t was not merely Ii-
cense, but positive legislation.
Then the New Testament nowhere
fOrbids the use OF wine, but it does
say that no drunEdrd shall have eter.
nal life.
In advocating license, therefore, we
stand squarelY upon the Bible, and
upon this rock We shall remain.-CFH-
ciRndti Gazette.

Skeleton Leaves.

Leaves, 10 be skeIetOnized, should
be gathered only in dry weather,
should also be perfectly mstured, July
and August being the best months 70
gather them. Among the choicest
varieties are the vine, poplar, beech
and ivy leaves. Dissolve four ounces
of washing soda in one quart of boil
ing water adj two ounces Of quick
lime, and boil fifteen minutes allow
this to cool, and then pour OFF the
clear liquor into Clean saucepan,
and when at the boiling point place
the leaves carefully and boil one hour;
boiling water should be added Occa-
sionally, to supply that lost by evap-
grafton. If, after boiling one hour,
the cellular tissue does not rub OF be
tween the thumb and fore-finger, boil
them till it will; always placing the
leaves in cold water to seperate the
fieshy matter from the skeleton,

Oh, TO keep them; how they gladdened ali

What gay dreams we fashioned OF them, as
in rosy sleep they lay;
How each broken word was welcomed, how
eaeh struggling thought was hailed,
As each bark went floating seaward, love-
be-decked and fancy-sailed!
Gliding from our jealous watching, gliding
from our Jealous hold,
Lo the brave leaves bloom and burgeon; 10!
the shy, sweet buds unfold;
Fast to lip, and cheek, and tresses, steals the
maiden's bashf1l joy;
Fast the frank, bold nan's assertion tones

Neither love nor longing keeps them; soon

Those young hands will.seize their weapons,
build their castles, plant their flowers.
Soon a fresher hope win brighten the dear

Soon closer love than ours, in those wax

have benefited the brain, and pro-

for hail, dressing room and kitchen.
