Origin Of the Kettle Drum.

Chambers journal has the following
The origin Of the term kettle drum" has
never been clearly explained. A "drum"
used to be the name given to evening par
ties hundred years ago, and possibly
"kettle7 has been prefxed to the word to
impart the idea Of tea kettle. Any way,
kettle drum happens to be pleasant
sort Of meal--scarcely meal at oil, but
only an excuse for meeting together in an
easy manner at an interval when one has
nothing else to do; while some will accept
it as welcome prelude to the onerous task
of dressing for dinner. T" The afternoon
tea or kettle drum has other uses Men
have now no leisure for breakfast parties,
even if they were inclined to talk before
facing the days work; and the ponderous
forlnality Of the dinner WHICH fashion pre-
seribes, to say nothing Of its often finding
men tired and jaded, forbds that free in
terchange of sentiments which renders
Johnson's tavern dinners or the sociable
feasts Of Holland House so pleasant re-
Prospect in these days and nights Of hurry.
Much Of the friendly talk of country
house or the liyeliness Of London man-
sion crystallizes round the kettle drum.
Mrs. Jones and Mr.. Thompson have sat
for five minutes 10 their hostess drawing
room, looking prim and starched, and very
frigidly abusing the hot weather. Suddenly
the lady of the house, with bright thought,
rings the bell; tea appears, and at once
they thaw, while the conversation runs on
again sparkling through its ordinary chan
nels. Or it has been cold snowy after
noon in November; the women did not
care to leave the house; ennui has reigned
triumphant, and the painted ancestors on
the walls have been frowning with gloomy
brows on the modern fine ladies beneath;
when suddenly tea is brought into that
most charming room ofoa country house,
the inner hall, or first drawing-room.-
Smiles forthwith brighten out, and ripple
of murmured chit.chat ensues. Then in
walk Charlie and the Captain in knicker-
bockers and shootiug;jackets, while young
Fritz and Major Stocks ride up to the door
on their nags, all glad Of civilized society
after severe out door exercise, aud thank
ful for one cup of tea, which at any other
time they would despise. How pleasant,
then, is the low easy chair, the blazing
bran is on the dogs" their flicker on the
china and Jric-a-brac around, the petits-
soin' of the ladies, only too glad to
turn landmarks for the nonce, the height
ened color of Alice, the last new song
warbled by Kate; until the bell warns the
cosy party that it is time to dress for dinner

Brinlle's Lean.

Years ago, while still working at home,
| went one day to tie up my fathers cows,
| opened the stable door, and the queen of
the yard-old Brindle-started in, but
stopped just inside the door and would 60
no further. Thinking it was because the
stable was so dark, | urged her, but to no
purpose. | kicked, and found two could
play ut that game. Her conduct was SO
unusual that | then began to investigate,
and found that sunbeam came through
crack and reached across the stable just
before her, making the little dancing
notes plainly visible, and lookiug-for all
the world-like bar newly put up, over
which she could scarcely leap, and under
which she felt it impossible to crawl.
Enjoying her pcrplexity now that its cause
was plain, | waited and laughed to see her
lift her head, (eyidently comparing the
height of the supposed obstruction with
some fence over which the mischieyous
creature had broken in past days. and
then give it up, as was plain by the fact
that she began to calculate the chances of
crawling under, and shook her head at it.
Explanation was useless, as it is in sundry
like cases among more intelligent animals,
and the fun was too good to spoil by
coercion, At length / went round and
poured the sliced turnips slowly into the
manger. This was too much Old Brindle
evidently made up her mind that she must
risk everything for the mess. So, with
sudden leap, she cleared the obstruction,
teithyut touching, (though she came down
just where it would have BEEN Ia feat
which evidently astonished her, - and
took her place at the mauger. She look
ed as If she could not see any reason for
the shout that greeted her. Il was scri-
Gus business to her.
Aud ever since, IL | see one delaying
to do plain duty for various reasons
which seem real and formidable to him,
but are only sunshine--or moonshine---to
any one else, l always think of old Brindlc,
and endeavor to find out what is turnip
to him, in order to coax him on with it.
But many man makes as unnecessary
and ludicrous a leap in getting clear of
imaginary distractions as did old Brindle.

Remarkable Januaries.

The mild weather of the present month
may seem unusual to those who have not
given much attention to the weather in
past years. In looking back through old
weather records, we find it to be the rule
instead Of the exception to have mild
weather during the second month of win-
ter. The January of 1890 WAS a remark
ably mild one, the medium temperature
being IA degrees above zero. The mer-
curry often ran up to 20 degrees in the
shade at midday, and boys were seen
swimming in the rivers. This mild weather
continued till the eighteenth Of February,
when cold snap was experienced. The
Januaries of 1893, 1910, 1928, 1888,
1912 and 1845 were also mild, and there
have been several since that were by no
means severe. The month Of January,
1858, was a most remarkable one. The
mercury in Baltimore never went below
the freezing point, and the weather gem
orally was more like April or October
weather than that Of january. The cold
Januaries during the period above named,
were those of 1916, 1920, 1891, 1881,
1882, 1910 and 1874. In 1915 the me-
dium temperature was 2s degrees above
zero, the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers
were frozen hard over the whole month.
The medium temperature Of January,
1920, was 26 degrees above zero, that Of
1921, 25 degrees, and there was an IN
common amount ofsnow during this month
Of that year. On nine mornings tho mcr-
cury was below zero, and on two mornings
as much as nine degrees below Only
three Januaries previous to this, during 1
century we're as cold, aud they we're thos,
Of 1741, 1865 and 1850. January 1S4l
is the coolest on record, the mean temper
ature being as low Us "a degrees above
zero, without single thaw during III
month. There was great deal Of sno,
on the ground, and on sixteen morning
in the month the mercury rauged ffoi
sixteen to twenty degrees below zero

A Practical Use Of Dogs.


II is a fact perhaps not generally known
that there is firm doing business in San
Francisco who purchase the thousands Of
dogs slaughtered by the pound master Of
that city, or that may have been otherwise
killed, for which they pay forty cents each.
The carcasses are conveyed to their man
ufactory at South San Francisco, where
the skins are removed and sold to tanner
les, the hair taken off aud resold to plas-
terers, the hide tanned, made into gloves
and sold in the market. The denuded
carcass is then thrown into huge ealdrou
and boiled until the bones are easily sepa'
rated FROM the flesh, when they are re
moved and sold to sugar refneries, where
they are ground to fine powder and uses
to clarity sugar, The oil that rises to th'
surface Of the boiling mass Is skinned d
and manufactured into cod liver oil, an,
the remainder il used for the purpose q
fastening hogs Oakland, Cal. Nees.

sawdust can be converted into liquid
wood, and afterwards into ! solid. flexible
and almost indeslraetible mass, which.
when Incorporated with animal matter
rolled and dried, can be used far The most
delicate impressions, ps well a. for the
formation Of solid and durable articles, ii
the following manner Immerso the dust
ofauy kind Of wood il diluted suIphuric
acid sufficiently strong to affect the iibers.
for some days the finer parts are then
passed through sieve, well stirred, and
allowed TO settle. Drain the liquid from
the sediment, and mix the latter with
prOpOrtiOnate quantity Of animal oiIsI, sim
liar to that used for glue. Roll the mass,
pack it in molds, aud allow il to dry.
A GooD 0INrMEEr Take one part

four parts good tallow or sound lard.

The best remedy g5r currant and goose

obtainable at any druggists. Put the
powder in common tin cup, tying piece
Of very fine muslin over the mouth. Pas
ten the apparatus to the end Of short
stick, and dust the powder through the
muslin lightly upon the bushes. Do not
work on windy day, and stand to wind
ward during the operation, as, if taken in-
to the nostrils, the hellcbore excites VIC.
lent sneesing. The same material is
good remedy for cucumber beetles.
GETTING RID OF RATS. We have sew.
eral receipts for this purpose. A New
York farmer says:-"Rats do not remain
with US long, while some Of our neighbors
are troubled the year round. Poison is
dangerous, and traps Of little use We
get rid Of them in the following manner:
Take equal parts Of corn meal and caleincd
or boiled plaster Of Paris, and mix well
together; place dish Of water near il.
The rats will cat and drink, the plaster Of
Paris win set in the animals stomachs
and dcata win very quickly ensue.
4 FoR CRoUr.--Takc a knife Or CRATER
and shave or CRATE off in small PARTICLES
about teaspoonful Of alum; mix il with
about twice the quantity Of sugar or honey
to make it palatable, and administer as
quick as possible. The dose should be
repeated at intervals of fifteen minutes
until the phlegm is cast Of This viii
give almost immediate relief. The patient
should also bathe his feet in hot water and
apply cloths wet in cold water to the
throat and chest, changing as often as they
get warm.

OLD TIMES.


There's beautiful song ON the slumberous air
That drifts through the valley OF dreams
II comes from a cline where the roses were.
And a tuneful heart, and bright brown hair
That waves In the morning beams
soft eyes Of azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow-whIte foreheads are there,
A glimmering cross and gllttoring crown,
A thorny bed and a couch ofdown,
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
