A Shy Young Man.

Mr.. Fitzpatrick selected as the hero
OF his story shy young man Scot
land, who for fourteen years had
woed the lassie of his heart. One
night, Jamie, for that was the young
mans name, called to see Jennie, and
there was a terrible look about his
eyes, just as there is sometimes when
they've made up their minds to pop
the question. And jamie came in
and sat down by the fire just as he
had done every Tuesday and Friday
night tor fourteen long years, and he
talked of the weather, and the cattle,
and the crops, and the stock market l
was going to say-but no, they dldnt
talk about that. And finally Jamie
says:
"Jennie, I've known you now for a
long time"

"So-that-when--"
"Yes-Jamie-yes."
"We're dead we can lay our bones

The fool had gone and bought a
lot in a graveyard, but Jennie wasn't
discouraged. She knew her man
well--after fourteen years she ought
to-and so she said gently:

How TO Cook OATMEAL.-Very
often this nutritious article of diet is
objectional because not properly pre-
pared. When it is to be made as
food, select the coarse, recently ground
meal. To a cotfecupful add a quart
of cold water and mix in tin vessel
holding at least two quarts. The yes
sci should then be placed in Il boiler
water and put upon the
fire to cook string frequently and
boiled until dry enough to eat as mush,
or the meal is well done. 1t may then
be eaten with butter, molasses, milk,
cream and sugar, Or any other dress
ing that may be preferred. When
thus prepared it will not have that
sticky, salvy consistence hat makes it
Objectionable, and people who could
rot eat it before will now take it with

best adapted to making cruel for acute
diseases People suffering from habit

or twice day valuable adjunct to
other treatment and far preferable to

APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE U. 5.
POSTAL SERVICE FOR THE NEXT Els
CAL YEAR TO BE REDUcED.-The
Third Assistant Postmaster-General.
Hazen, has completed for transmission
to Congress estimates of the approprl'
atoms required for expenditures by his
office during the next fiscal year.
They aggregate $9O5,O0O, as against
$1,15o,OOO appropriated for the pres
ent year, decrease Of $246,O0O, or
about 81 per cent, in the issues of adj
hesiye stamps, IL per cent. i'll the Is
sue of envelopes, and 20 per cent. in
postal cards. This favorable showing
has been rendered possible by advan-
tageous contracts for the manufacture
of postage stamps and postal cards.
The principal items of the estimates
are $4,000 for stamps; $4,000 for
postal cards $54,70O for stamped en-
velopes, These estimates, together
with those for other branches of the
Department, already published, make
a total of 1856, 4O5771, as the amount
required to defray all the expenses of
the postal services during the next ifs
cal year. Of this the Department es-
Inmates that it can provide from Its
own revenues $29,O34,09S.28, from
the following sources: Ordinary rev.
enues (sale of stamps, etc.), $27,79S,-
O9S.2S; money order receipts, $780,
600; official hostages, S1,0s6,OoO,
leaving deficiency in the revenues
Of the Postofice Department, to be
provided for out OF the general Treas
ury, of $7,SeS,672.72. In the event
Of Congress abolishing official postage
stamps, the sum above estimated as
one source of revenue, will necessarily
have to be omitted, and the deficiency
in the appropriation necessarily in
creased by that amount.

BELLs.-The invention of bells is
attributed to Po.onius, Bishop of
Nola, Campania, about the year 400.
They were first introduced into
churches as a defence against thunder
and lightning; they were first put up
in Croyland Abbey, Lincolnshire, in
945. In the eleventh century, and
later, it was the custom to baptize
them in the churches before they
were used. The curfew bell was
established in 1913. 1t was rung at
eight in the evening, when people
were obliged 10 put out their fires and
candles. The custom was abolished
in 100. Bellmen were appointed in
London in 1856, to ring the bells at
night, and cry out, "Take care Of your
fire and candle ; be charitable 10 the
poor, and pray for the dead

Punctuality.

There is no habit that contributes
more to the success Of a business man
than punctuality. 1t is almost an IN
fallible index to the degree of integrity
which its possessor enjoys, and, as
such, is invaluable. Punctuality in al
engagements should be regarded as
the sine que non for business charac'
ter. Young men entering upon the
active duties of life, should cultivate
the habit assiduously, and at ever SO
great Inconvenience to themselves,
when circumstances require it. Your
word with reference to business APP
pointment should be as sacredly re-
garded as your note in the bank, and
after an engagement is made, it should
never be forgotten that you are not
the only one depending upon its full
6lment. Ifyour own interests admit
of breaking the engagement, perhaps
your friend is less favorably situated,
and it's faithful observance may be
necessary to protect interests OF his OF
which you have no knowledge. 1t
would be enough Tor YOU to consider
that you agreed to meet him at time
and place, to make it certain that at
such time you will be at the place
1t not infrequently happens that the
smalles. variation in time, an lnslgnlh,
cant delay of five minutes, entails Sc
rious consequences upon the affairs OF
others. In these bustling, stirring,
rushing days, when trains come and
90 necessarily, when The lightning Is
pressed into the service OF the busl-
ness world, every five minutes is OF
yalue. A minute too late is as GER
tainly too late for the departed train
as an hour. The real Importance,
however, ofpunctuality is its effect
upon the character and standing OF
the fortunate possessor. At whatever
sacrifice of his own comfort and con-
yenience the habit has been acquired,
it is not dearly bought. He is always
depended on. What he promises he
will do, whether it is money or time
or place, and the confidence which
this habit will beget IN his business
acquaintance will save him much an
noyance and loss. On The other hand
carelessness with reference to mlnol
and apparently unimportant appoint
ments is most destructive in business
enterprise and success. 1t leads Dr.
reclly to neglect in more important
matters, to carelessness in regard tt
books and papers, and tends to the
development Of general slovenlness
in all business habits that eau onl.
end in bankruptcy anc ruin Bur-

TO Test MILK.-One needs to know
the percentage of cream to determine
the value of the COW for butter, and
as the price of butter is influenced by
its color and flavor (some believe the
color determines the flavor, the test
should give both quality and quantity
of cream. This is easily and cheaply
done by filling glass tumbler with
the milk of each COW, and setting these
tumblers in cool place for the cream
to rise. The transparent glass Will
show the thickness of the cream and
its color. In this manner one has the
milk of the several cows under inspec-
ton at the same time, and can there
fore make an accurate comparison.
Both nights and mornings milk
should be thus tested This testing
often proves that the COW giving the
smallest quantity of milk makes the
most butter. A few hours time will
show the comparative quality of the
milk given by each COW in herd, and
enable the farmer to select out those
that give cream of rich golden col
or, and make way with the remainder
supplying their places with others ii
will pay better to keep.
