Useful Hints for the Home Circle.

IT is said that half cranberry, bound
on a corn, will soon kill it.
To MAKE silk which has been wrinkled
appear like new, sponge the surface with
a weak solution of gum-arabic, and iron
on the wrong side.
PICTURE and mirror frames are pre-
served from flies by painting them with
brush dipped into a liquid made by
boiling three or four onions in pint of
water.
SHOULD the top of your lamp become
loose, take it off and wash it with soap.
Wash the glass also then put plaster Of
Paris around the glass, put the brass top
on again, let it stand until hardened, and
it is ready for use again. A lamp never
should be filled quite full, as the kero-
sene softens the plaster.
A GOOD moth preventive is this: Mix
half-a-pint of alcohol, the same quantity
of spirits of turpentine, and two ounces
of camphor. Keep in stone bottle and
shake before using. The cloths or furs
are to be wrapped in linen, and crumpled
up pieces of blotting paper, dipped in
the liquid, are to be placed in the box
with them, so that it smells strongly
This requires renewing about once a
year.
If sleep is taken after dinner it should
be in the sitting posture, as the horizon
tai position Immediately after full meal
is unfayorable to healthful digestion.
But those who need rest and sleep dur
ing the day should take it before dinner.
A writer on the. subject says "Ten
minutes sleep before dinner is worth
more than an hour after. It rests and
refreshes, and prepares the system for
vigorous Digestion.
The spare beds in every house should
be kept free from all covering save a
light spread, and both bed and spread
should be regularly aired. Merely COW
ering up q bed with blankets and counA
terpanes will no more protect it from
dampness or keep it dry than a pane of
glass will keep out light. The atmos-
pheric moisture will penetrate all woven
fabrics. Many friend or welcome Wis
itor has been sent to an untimely grave
or afflicted with disease by being put
into bed not thoroughly aired.

/" Died YeSterday.0

Every day is written this little SEN
tence: "Died yesterday, SO and so.''
Every day a flower is plucked from
some home a jewel stolen from some
treasury of love. Each day from sum-
mer fields of life some harvester disap-
pears, yea, every hour, some sentinel
falls from his post and is thrown from
the ramparts of time to the surgino
waters of eternity. Even as we write
the funeral of one "died yesterday .
winds like a winter shadow along the
street. "Died yesterday" Who died ?
A young girl, pure as the white bios
SONS that are resting lightly on her cold
brow, was stricken down in the spring
time of life, and that heart of hers is still
now, for she "died yesterday" and is
now being borne to the garden of slum-
berers.
"But wise is he who mourns not the
pearl and music lost for life with him
shall pass away gently as an eastern
shadow from the hills, and death is a
triumph gained.

A C}Ood Joke on Safe Blowers.

The Cincinnati Commercial tells the
following The "gopher blowers " will
give the town of Harrison wide berth
hereafter. The experience Of two of
their class a few nights since will no
doubt disgust the whole fraternity of
cracksmen, and the town will be free
from the depredations OF thieves. It all
came about in this way Mr.. William
Galloway has large Touring mill at
Harrison Since the cold weather set in
the mill, being run by water-power, has
been idle. When the work ceased the
proprietor removed all his books and
papers from the safe in the mill office to
a more convenient place in his residence.
A few nights since two safe-blowers en-
tered the mill for the purpose of robbing
the safe. The door was drilled in the
usual way, and every pref aration made
for blast with powder, but by some
means the burglars, after ,rking nearly
all night, were frightenedoff before com
pleting their operation.
The joke about the whole matter is,
first, the safe was not locked and the
door could have been opene simply by
taking hold of the knob; and, second,
only few postage stamps would have
been the reward if the burglars had sue
ceeded in opening the safe.

DON'T STAY AFTER TEN.

You know that none in all the world

lis this [ would request of YOU
That when you come again

You won't stay after ten.
For after ten, as moments fly.

Lest papa's visagc should see
Come peeping at the door.
He's there to execute his threat:
He said he'd surely come
Ii e'er you stayed so late again,
And tell you togo home.
And when I down to breakfast 90
Papa will frown at me,
And say, My child, that beau of YOURS
Is going to hearfrom me.
This sort OF thing will not have,
SO, when he comes again,
I'll just go down and show him out.
It he don't go at ten."
And so, though your society
Makes heart and soul throb warm,
heave sigh of vast relief
At your retreating form.
You know that you are welcome, ave.
Oh, best beloved of men!

Comfy A FARMERS DAUGHTER

S'She's only a farmers daughter"
With a scornful glance of her handsome eye,
And a toss of her naughty head
She frilled and founced and furbeloWed
In the very latest style;
Her head was wonder of crimps and curls,
And her train something less than mile.
Her hands that sparkled with many ring,
Were shapely and fair to view
AS they well might be, for no useful work
We're they ever allowed to do.
To hear her talk of the slower class"
OF their sins against propriety,
Of cher family" and OF country girls"
And her horror of "mixed society,""
One would think that among her ancestry
She numbered at least an Earl;
[Her father was once a carpenter,
And her mother factory girl.
They say she is brilliant and beautiful
will not their words deny;
But ali! the farmers daughter
Is fairer far to my eye.
She is not in the height of fashion,
But is very becomingly dressed,
With hOunces enough for comfort
And they look as if made of the best.
Mirth and innocent happiness
Out of her blue eyes shine:
Her hair is untortured by crimps or curls,
And she wears it by right divine.
No mother tolls in the kitchen for her,
While she on the sofa Tolls,
Novel in hand, dressed in her best,
l. Receiving her morning calls
A share in the heat and the burden of life
She willingly, cheerfully takes,
And duty, and love, in that happy home,
pleasure of labor makes.
And though you may smile at this curious fact,
have seen her with hoe in her hand,
While she planted the corn, or waged war on til
weeds
When mans help was scarce in the land.
And her fowers-wen, next summer you'll see thel
yourself
AS you ride past the farm on the prairie,
And mark the home, covered with roses and vines
The work of this Martha Mary.
And I'm sure you will say, spite the verdict of thos
Who live out in fashions gay whirl,
That " only farmers daughter" means
Only q sensible girl!

No. 2 is little more difficult. It con-
tains twenty-five spaces, and, if added
the same as the other, it equals IS.
No. is truly wonderful. The num-
Der of spaces contained in No. 3 is one
hundred, with no two alike, and if it be
added up or down, across, or from cor
ner to corner, it is the same-5O5.

And by emitting the outside row of

add 202. SQUARE.

CuriOsities Of Figures.
from the Philadelphia Ledger

Mr.. EDITOR: AS your columns are
always open for instruction and informa-
ton, and to- further the same object,
would be pleased to have you insert the
following interesting and wonderful com
bination Of figures. In all three of the
squares no two numbers are alike:

or from corner to corner, it equals Is.

The policy of abolishing indefinite APP
preparations, which, was begun last year,
has been strictly followed and greatly
extended; all the appropriations of mo-
ment this year are what is known as per-
manent. In the matter of public build
ing there is a strict limitation upon every
appropriation, the limitation being such
that, with two exceptions, there are no
appropriations for public buildings for
which there is not an actual plan and de-
tailed statement of estimates.
Speaker Blaine at one time despaired
of the passage of the Sundry Civil and
the Deficiency bills. The most wonder
full speed in legislation ever Known was
on the conference report to the Defici-
ency bill. 1t came from the Senate with
thirty-five amendments. Each of these
amendments was considered, some of
them modified, and all caused some de-
bate. Yet the conference report was
adopted in thirty-fve minutes from the
time the bill reached the House.

THE VALIDITY OF THE ELECTION.
To thx Editor Of The Chicaao Tribune:
CHICAGO, Feb Cit is to be regretted that
the recent alleged election Of Dr.. De 'Koven 70
tho Bishopric Of Illinois should be subject to
serious DOUBT Is to it's Legality. Indeed it Il
beyond doubt that he was not elected.
10 valid election, the Diocesan Constitution
requires majority Of the clerical order to nom
mate, and minority Of ths votes cast by the
lay order to concur.
The uniform construction Of similar pre-
ecriptjon in the Constitution Of the Church at
large, and tho only correct construction. is that
there must be an affirmative preponderance OF
votes, and divided votes, therefore, may detea'
m election.

in legislative action, divided vote. are to be
considered as "neutEalized," and, therefore, not
to be counrcd,-a rule not applicable to The cleo
