A Curious Romance.

The latest Enoch Arden romance has
a happy, but exceedingly matter-of-fact
denouement. The hero, Mr.. Oaaes,
was married many years ago in New
Zealand, and had raised small family.
One day II tribe of savages took advant-
age of his absence, and laid his home in
ashes. Mr.. Oades discovered among
the ruins what he believed to be the
charred remains of his wife and chill
dren, and as subsequent inquiry seemed
to confirm the belief, he made up his
mind that he was widower. After a
lapse of years he removed to California,
settled in San Bernardino, and finally
took unto himself another mate. The
ether day the original Mrs. Oades
turned up, with an interesting group of
grown-up young Oadeses. They had
only been carried into captivity by the
savages, and on their escape the faithful
woman traced her husband to his farm
house at San Bernardino. Oades behaved
like sensible man. The first wife had
a legal claim to his protection, but he
had also married the second in good
faith. So compromise was affected by
welding the two branches of the house
of Oades into one, and the happy man
now rejoices in the bosoms of his two
families. This is more manly than
sneaking off, whatever the good peo-
pie OF San Bernardino may think aboutit.

The Siamese Twins.

The Salem Mass Gazette recalls
the fact that the Siamese Twins were
arrested at Lynnfeld, Mass, in August,
1881, for breach of the peace. While
staying for few days at the hotel, en-
loving themselves fishing on the pond
and shooting in the woods. with young
Englishman as an attendant, they were
much annoyed by the eager curiosity OF
visitors, who disturbed their intended
seclusion. Col. Elbridge Gerry and a
Mr. Prescott, of Stoneham, went toward
them in field, but were warned to keep
away. Irritating words followed, and
the twins, after firing blank cartridge,
struck the Colonel with the butt of a
gun. They were put under 5000 bonds.

REPLY TO "BEwARE."

You say, "'Twont do 10 trust the men,"
Pray tell me who we can trust, then!
And, II they tell the "old, old story"
As II was told in "Edens glory"
Who among us would not listen
TO tale so pure, Elysian?
" Strongest vows," you say, "they sever,
And are constant, never, never"
All but don't agree with you
A perfect man Is ever true
III there are those who are not so
Whom you and may chance TO know,
Who walk the earth in manhood's guise,
And break fond hearts with honeyed lies;
Whose worthless lives are naught but sin
Whose brains are Outlines crazed with gin !;
Who swear and trifie az they go,
And much of happiness o'erthrov;
Who sip the sweets from loving heart,
And then in faithlessness depart:
Z" Pctted sons of ease and fashion,"
Feigning love where's naught but passion;
Who never knew the sacred fame
That from the Blessed Savior came:
Who have no love for aught but pef;
Whose deeds are falsity and self
These are not men! My friend, trow,
They by some other name should 90
Though outwardly they bear a semblance,
In heart there's not the least resemblance.
They're counterfeit, from head to toe,
And bring distress where'er they go!
Gods noblest work, perfect man,
Is quite upon another plan.
He loves his God better than self,
His neighbor more than worldly pelf
His heart is constant, kind, and true,
And worthy our affection, too.
Our best protector aud our friend,
To love and bless till life shall end:
The browning work of God in Heaven
His choicest gift to woman given.
Then, while i've life's feeting span
I'll love and trust an honest man.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

A WASH, consisting of one or two
drachms of hydrochloric acid in about
four ounces of water, has been recon-
mended as a sure cure in cases of chap
ped hands.
APPLES always keep better when pro-
tected from currents of air, which change
the temperature often. A uniform tenn
perature is best. Hence they do better
in barrels headed up than exposed on
shelves or in tight boxes.
WHY CLOVER IMPROVES THE SOIL
of clover increasing the fertility of the
soil
"All who are perfectly acquainted
with the subject must have seen that
the best crops of wheat are produced
by being preceded by crops of clover
grown for seed. 1 have come to the
conclusion that the very best prepare
ton, the best manure, is a good crop of
clover. A vast amount of mineral man.
ure is brought within reach of the corn
crop, which otherwise would remain in
lookup condition in all the soil. The
clover plants take nitrogen from the at
mosphere, and manufacture it into their
own substance, which, on decomposition
of the clover, roots and leaves, pro-
duces abundance of ammonia. In
realality, the growing of clover is equiv
alent, to a great extent, to manuring
with Peruvian guano."
Take, for instance, red clover, the
best of all green manures. The great
English chemist, Prof. Way, of the
Royal Agricultural College at Ciren-
cester, made perfect analysis of dry
red clover and found every one hundred
parts to contain as follows:

MANY entertain the notion that furs

MANY entertain the notion that furs
need to be protected against moths
during the hot weather only. This is 81
great mistake. The most effectual
means to remove the brood is to beat
furs also during the winter season.
Especially apply the brush to the folds
and seams, for the wee moth seeks
places of safety for its offspring.
Eco SAUcE.-Make a drawn butter,
chop two hard boiled eggs quite fine,
the white and yelk separately, and stir
it into the sauce before serving. This
is used for boiled fish or vegetables.
LEMON SAUCE.-Make drawn or
melted butter sauce, cut q lemon into
very thin slices, take out the seeds and
stir the slices into the sauce, give it one
boil, then serve over boiled fish, fowl,
or meat.
BEEF LIvER.-Cut the liver in thin
slices, dip each slice in wheat flour or
rolled crackers, and fry in hot lard or
beef dripping season with pepper and

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
TIE FARM.


ScoURs in chickens can be cured by
giving milk, warm, that has been
scorched with red-hot iron.
In digging up tree always turn the
side of the spade toward the stem of the
tree, and lift out the earth carefully,
and the small rootlets will thus be loos-
ened and preserved uninjured.
AN Illinois correspondent states that
last year, as soon as the crop was re-
moved, he covered half of his strawberry
bed with straw, putting it on from one
to two inches thick. The result this
season was a yield double that on the
portion of the bed not mulched, and no
weeds, but clean, nice berries, even
after a hard rain. Tribune.
In large cities prevailing custom is,
the placing of the name of the resident
on plate of the door post. A Western
paper suggests that farmers follow this
example, and have their names painted
on or affixed to the gates in front of their
residences. The adoption of this would
afford great satisfaction to travellers and
especially to those who desire to famil-
arize themselves with the names of resi-
dents of localities through which they
pass.
To KEEP sweet potatoes through the
winter, treat them as the ladies do their
dahha bulbs. Pack them in dry sand,
which has been thoroughly heated, SO
as to drive out all the moisture, and
then set them in warm dry place. In
stances have been known where they
have been kept for two years, being
stored in warm, dry cellar, near the
furnace. Keep them away from moist
ure. Unlike Irish potatoes, which need
cold situation to keep well, the sweet
potatoes need to be kept warm and dry.
THE manufacture of cheese has be-
come in the last few years one of the
important American interests. 1t now
wholly supplies the home demand for
this popular appetizer, and also pro-
vides the material for large and lucra-
tive export trade. Fourteen years ago,
the first shipment of American cheese
was so worthless that it was thrown
into the docks at Liverpool. Since Jan
uary /, the exports of cheese have
amounted to 1,166,211 boxes, against
1913, 154 boxes as compared with the
corresponding time in 1S72.-Detroit

FARMERS IN DEBT.-Some of our ex-
changes are descanting on the ruin sure
to follow getting in debt to carry on
farming operations. One farmer, who
stopped giving and asking credit few
years ago, records it as his experience
that he can now buy more than he ever
bought before, and sell more. The case
is mentioned of the French, who never
go in debt, and who, having been saw
ing money since the days of the first
Napoleon, have become the richest ma
tion in the world, which is proved by
the fact that the German indemnity of a
thousand millions of dollars which they
were obliged to pay has been all dis
charged in two years, while we have
been struggling for eight years with
twice as much. Perhaps the wealth of
the French farmers arises as much from
the small farm system and the high cul-
tivation they give to soil. There is a
vast difference in farming in loose way
and having all work done in the best
manner.

SENSIBLE ENoUGH.-It is questiona-
BILE whether the age improves in COM
mon sense. Some of the ancient laws
of Massachusetts, are worthy of consid-
Grafton at the present day. In 1912
there was law providing that "those
who do not teach, by themselves or 9TH
ers, their children or apprentices, so
much learning as may enable them per-
fectly to read the English tongue, and
knowledge of the capital laws, shall be
fined twenty shillings for each neglect
therein. In those days it was also
thought proper that no interference
should prevent suitable marriages. A
law of 164l reads that "if any person
shall wilfully and unreasonably deny
any child timely or convenient marriage,
or shall exercise any unnatural severity
toward them, such children shall have
liberty to complain to authority for re-
dress in such cases.

That they truly love you
Swearing by the earth beneath

Don't you know they've sworn the same
Times they could not number
Waking many an Undine's soul
From unconscious slumber?

Heard the honeyed lie he told you;
In the dusky twilight muse,

May be paled with weeping.

Means What He SAYS.

Though combinations strong as proofs of
Holy Writ and as numerous as the sands on
the sea shore were produced to prove that
the proprietor of DR.. Sages Catarrh Remedy
is in earnest, and means what he says when
he offers $500 reward for any case of Catarrh
which he cannot cure, yet there would be some
skeptics and fogies who would continue to
shout "Aunlbugn' "HuMBUGm at cannot
be, because DR.. Homespun says Catarrh can
not be cured" Now this DR. Homespun is
the identical, good -natured old fellow who
honestly believes and persists in declaring that
this earth is not round or spherical but as fiat
as " slap jack, " and does not turn over, other
wise the water would all be spilled out of
Deacon Bascom's mill pond. But astronomi-
cal science has positively demonstrated and
proven that DR.. Homespun is wrong in sup
posing the earth to be fiat and sta
tionary, and medical science is daily
proving the fact that he is no less mistaken and
behind the times in regard to the durability of
CataIrh. In short, it has been positively
proven that this world naoUes, and that medi
cal science is pro9resSiye-the opinion of Dr.
Homespun to the contrary Notwithstanding.
That DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure
Catarrh thousands who have used 1t attest.
Then buy it. and use It, in doubt do not stand.
You will find ii in drug stores all over the land.

A GOOD REMEDY.
We invite attention to the advertisement Of
5age's Catar-h Remedy. Our readers will
bear us witness that we never knowingly
commend humbugs of any name or nature,
and a large portion of patent medicines may
safely be classed as impositions upon public
credulty. But having witnessed the bene-
fetal effects of Sage's Remedy upon the mem
bers Of our family and Others, in Catarrhal
cases, we unqualidedly pronounce it a valua-
BILE medicine, entitled to public confidence.
The proprietor could easily obtain in Catskill
many certificates of its merits
