To wash towels with colored bor-
ders.-To set the colors, let the tow
els soak in a pailful of cold water
containing one teaspoonful of sugar
of lead; let them remain ten minutes
before washing. To make the col

no soda.
1t should be borne In mind that
every farmer who takes the trouble
to keep up tasteful appearance
about his house, not only performs a
good work for his own family, but
stimulates his neighbors to initiate
him. Nothing is more contagious
than the desire for gardening when
once it gets a footing.-Prairie Far

DR.. Foote'S Health Monthly says
the following, served with canned
Strawberries for sauce, Is a dish too
good for any but very good people.
One teacupfull OF rice, one heaping
teacupfull Of coacoanut and the milk
from the center OF the nut, one quart
OF water, one pint OF milk, and salt to
taste. Boil three or four hours in a
double boiler. If it boils away too
much add more water.
Spots on towels and hosiery will
disappear with little trouble IL lit
tie hartshorn is put into enough wa
ter to soak the articles, and they are
left in it an hour or two before wash
ing; and, il a cupful is put into the
water into which white clothes are
soaked, the night before washing, the
ease with which the articles can be
washed, and their great wilderness
and clsaness when dried. will be
very gratifying. Remembering the
small sum paid for three quarts of
hartshorn Of common strength. one
can easily see that nc preparation
can be more cheaply obtained.
To remove grease spots.-Put half
teacupful Of hartshorn to half a
teaspoonful OF alcohol; wet a bit Of
wooden cloth or sponge in it, and rub
and soak the spot with it, and the
grease, If freshly dropped. will disap-
pear. If the spot is Of long standing,
it may require several applications.
In wooden or cotton, the spot may be
rubbed when the liquid is applied,
also in black silk, though not hard
But, with light or colored silk, wet
the spot with the cloth or sponge
with which the hartshorn Is put on
patting it lightly. Rubbing silk, par
ticularly colored silk, is apt to leave
a whisish spot, almost as disagreea-
| BILE as the grease spot.

To Keep The Boys on the Farm.

1t is very natural for parents to
prefer that their children should fol-
low the same business or profession
that they themselves follow. This is
likely to be true OF shoemakers, mer-
chants, millers, carpenters, etc.
Farmers are not exceptions to this
rule.
Farming, when well conducted, is
good and pleasant business. If our
sons and daughters do not like it,
there is almost some good reason for
their dislike. have often an inter-
est in tracing out the reasons. They
are likely to dislike farming because
they are not pleased with the way in
which their parents have managed
1t. In some cases the young person
has very decided inclination to
some other business.
II you want to make your son like
his business, place him in response
BILE places, trust him, consult him
about the work he is to do. Let him
do part OF the thinking. Give him
nearly the sole caro- or responsibility
OF something on the farm; the fowls,
the pigs, some OF the other stock,
some OF the crops, or the garden, OIL
part OF it. Suppose he does not do
everything just as you would; advise
him. It is much better that he
should fail while he Is young and has
time to learn under your training.
than not to try or fail till he goes
into business for himself. By treat
ing children In this way, they will
take more interest in their work, and
will be more likely to succeed when
they start for themselves. Do not
make slaves of your children.
Too many OF our most prominent
farmers-farmers who are called the
most uccessful-send their children
to work each day as they would send
an ignoramus, without "ifs or sands, y
or reasons for so doing.
For want OF proper training in this
respect, many q young man has
grown up without mental discipline.
He has been able without much help,
in an Incredibly short space Of time,
to run through all that his strong
minded father left him. Twenty
years ago knew such man. His
farm was called and known as perfec-
tion for long distance around. He
had son, who Is to-day living in

tate slipped easily and rapidly from

been placed in responsible positions
while he was a boy. SO too often one
generation makes money for the next
to squander. In laying up comforta-

time In giving them q proper disci-
pline to manage we'll Then, IL they

SHORTHAND REPORT OF HIS CELEBRATED SPEECH
IN THE ROMAN SENATE.


Mr.. Speaker:
do not rise to waste the night in words;
Let that plebian on my right (C1cero)
Blow his bazoo; It's not my trade,
As was brought up blacksmith, -
But here stand for right, for Roman righ',
Though none, il seems, dare stand
And take a tilt with me-
Ay, cluster there cling to your master, -,
Judges, Romans-slavesl His charge is false!
And / demand an investigation,
And ask the president of this body
To appoint a committee forthwith.
But this Will ayow, that have sconed,
And still do scorn, 10 hide my sense of wrong! q,
Who brands me on my forhead, breaks my sworn
Or lays the bloody scourge upon my back,
Would perhaps like to try 1t on out IN the psek-

As Intended 10 move out of town anyhow.

But now my swords my own and
Would Ike 70 see the man that win
Attempt to collect nv city taxes for this year!
Smile on, you bald headed snipes of the valley!
j seorn to count what feelings, withered hopes,
have within my hearts hot cells shut up.
To leeve you in your lazy digninies.
But here stand, and scott you here fling
Hatred and full defiance in your facet
Your councils merciful-very; but if he
Dares to touch hair of Catiline, will
Knock him galley west and crooked,
Forl am the best little man that walks
The streets of this burg and don't you forget II!
Banshed from Rome! What's banished but SET

From daily contact with the things loathe?
Your organ grinders on every street corner;
Your citizens, packing piaster-of- Paris images
Around on cellar doors, and trading them

PAGANIsM,

When Constantine forbade the wor-

the country villages (pagD, where
they could practice their rites in Sc
crecy, and were hence called by the
Christians pagan, or country people.
The term came thus in time to de-
note heathens generally, irrespec-

in the middle ages, ignorantly appli-
ed to Mohamedans also.

Gems OF Thought.

UCms VI 1hOuSues
Blame not before you examine the
truth.
Vows made in storms are forgotten
In Gains.
Unreasonable haste is the direct
road to error.
Curiosity about trifles is mark of
little mind.
However little we have to do, let us
do that little well.
The weakest spot in every man is
where he thinks himself the wisest.
Remember always that labor is one
OF the conditions OF our existence.
You should forgive many things in
others, but nothing in yourself.
Work for other peoples vanity, not
your own; that is the art OF arts.
Learn not to judge too harshly Of
any one, either in respect to good or
evil.
Accustom yourself to some employ
ment for every hour you can prudent
ly snatch from business.
In the time that men waste in be-
wailing the perverseness Of their for
tune, they could gain a competency.
He that thinks himself the happiest
man really is SO; but he that thinks
himself the wisest is generally the
greatest fool.
Sorrow comes soon enough without
dependency; it does man no good
to carry around a lightning-rod to at
tract trouble.
The violet grows low and covers it
self with its own tears, and OF all
flowers, yields the sweetest fragrance.
Such is humility.
II you ask an obstinate man to in
cline his ears to reason, he is very
likely to incline them backwards, like
a horse bent on mischief.
The worst-hearted Of enemies is
often less to be dreaded than the
most kind-hearted Of friends.
You may speak out more plainly to
your associates, but not less courte-
ously than you do to strangers.
When you hear suspicious persons
boast Of being the friends OF their
kind, ask them what sort OF kind
that is.
Envy pursues it's victims through
out life. 1t ceases to gnaw only
when the gIave-worm, its brother
reptile, begins.
The poor man has often recently
complained that he has nothing to
live on, the rich still oftener that he
has nothing to live for.
LITTLE THINGS.
Shadows DER the valley straying,
SERIES the passing cloud 10 show;
Ripples DER the surface playing,
May reflect the depths below.
Little acts show deeper feeling.
Careless words the mind betray;
Thus are we ourselves revealing
In the things we do and say.
There are many doublings in the
human heart: don't think that you
can find out the whole OF a mans real
character at once.
The expectation Of future happi-
ness is the best relief for anxious
thoughts, the most perfect cure OF
melancholy, the guide Of life and the
comfort OF death.
1t Is far from being one of the best
features of human nature, that, whilst
we love those whom we have beDe-
fitted, we often hate those who have
benefited US.
Say nothing respecting yourself,
either good, bad, or Indifferent; moth
ing good, for that is vanity; nothing
bad, for that Is afrectation; nothing
Indifferent, for that Is silly.
True Joy Is a serene and sober emo
ton; and they are miserably out that
take laughing for rejoicing; the seat
of it is within. and there is no cheer
fulness like the resolution OF brave
mind.

Instructions to O Jury.

Speaking of courts, reminds us of
funny instruction said to have been given
by judge to a jury in--well, we won't say
in what State. Itruns in this way:
"1f the jury believe, from the evidence,
that the plaintiff and the defendant were
a partner in the grocery, and that the
plaintiff bought out the defendant and
gave his note for the interest, and the de-
fendant paid for the note by delivering to
the plaintiff COW, which he warranted
mot breachy,' and the warranty was bro
ken by the reason of the breachiness of
the cow, and the plaintiff drove the cow
back and rendered her to the defendant,
but the defendant refused to receive her,
and the plaintiff took her home again,
and put a heavy yoke or poke upon her,
to prevent her from jumping the fence,
and the cow in attempting to jump the
fence, by reason of the poke or yoke,
broke her neck and died, and if the jury
further believe that the defendants inter.
est in the grocery was not worth anything,
the plaintiffs note was worthless, and the
COW good for nothing, either for milk or
beef, or for green hide then the jury
must find out for themselves how they
will decide the case--for the court, if she
understands herself, and she thinks she do,
don't know how such cussed case should
be decided"

A Cold Day in London.

A terrible day for the poor coster-
monger and stall-kecpers of Whitecross
street. The fshwoman who yesterday
stigmatized the weather as beastly, be-
cause it drenched her shawl and compell-
ed her to stand in a puddle, could not,
unless she sent home for kettle of hot
water and thawed the stubborn ice in the
kennel, find puddle to stand in, though
she walked mile in search of it and her
life depended on it. A day so bitingly,
bitterly cold that the very turnips
and carrots set out in penny lots on the
bleak boards looked nipped up and
frost-bitten, and would be grateful to
any one who would take them home and
pop them into comforting pot of hot
soup Gin fails, this morning, to be at
what is desired by the miserable women
who indulge in it at the bars of the
Whitccross street gin shops. There docs
not seem to be warmth enough in the
fiery liquid to set free the slatternly
dram-drinkers' powers Of speech, or to
alter the leaden hue of their lips. The
mae loafers at the beer shops find no
comfort in pewter measures-perhaps it
is because their pockets are frozen out
and loiter by the lamp-posts, asking each
other in dismayed voice how " long this
ere is a-go:n' to last," as they stamp their
feot and blow on their knuckles for
warmth's sake. The sudden frost seems
to have paralyzed this nelghbor-hood Of

The Phantom Dog Whistle.

Two singular incidents, which will fur
nish nuts to crack to unbelievers in the
supernatural, have recently come to light
in England in regard to the recent loss of
the Avalanche in the British channel.
A lad, who was great friend to one of
the apprentices who was lost, made ar
rangements to accompany him down. the
channel and come ashore with the pilot,
but, at the last moment before sailing,
he was seized with such an indefnab!e and
ungovernable misgiving that he declined
to 60, and thus escaped almost certain
death. The apprentice who was lost had
aretriever dog who was very fond of him,
and which answered to shrill dog
whistle that he carried. On the night of
the shipwreck his mother and aunt were
in the sitting-room, and the dog in the
kitchen. Between 8 and 10 o'clock the
ladies were startled by hearing a shrill
whistle upstairs, resembling that of
the dog whistle used by the young man.
The dog heard it also, gave his usual re-
cognizing bark, and bounded upstairs,
where he supposed his master was. The
whistle was heard by two credible wit
nesses, whose testimony. was confirmed
by the response made to it by the dog Of
the lost sailor.

Catching Cold

One chief danger from colds is the cx-
haustcd state of the body that first occurs,
so it is not able to resist unfavorable in
huences. People who are not very vigor-
Gus should avoid over-exertion and keep
the strength up to the highest point. 1t
will help those prone to cold to sleep all
they can. Another cause of colds is eat
ing too heartily after days work, when
there are not forces enough to digest the
food and keep up the circulation. Eat
moderately at night if yo1 would avoid
cold. A cold in its early stages may be
broken up by hot foot-baths, warmth to
the body, especially a hot pack or hot
bath in the middle of the day, with much
friction and quiet in comfortable room.
1t is not advisable to take hot bath at
night in such cases. When you have q
cold, don't eat much or work much un-
less you have great physical strength.
when hard days work may be good
thing to equalize the circulation and IT,
store the action to the skin, which always
suffers when one takes cold'-Hcrazd of
