A QUICKENED CoNsCIEScE.-An elderly gen.
tleman of benign appearance has of late been
distributing religious tracts in the street cars,
and yesterday at least case of quickened
conscience was brought to public notice. A
young man entered the car, paid his fare, and
was handed tract headed, care You Sinner ~
He turned pale at once, read few lines, and
suddenly called out:
eyes, am! put bad nickel in the fare box,
but now I'll begin a new life by being honest.
Here, driver, change this half-dollar, and I'll
pay my fare over again."
The change was given him, and he paid, but
after riding block or so he left the car, to see
q man on the walk. The passengers thought it
a wonderful case, and all were deeply interest
ed, when the driver suddenly called out:
"Hang me, if this ERE halfdollar isn't bogus ~

THE BATTLE OF MAINE.

Twas an aged Democrat
Whose locks were thin an gray,
To him his little grandson spake
And said. Now. gran pa say
Tell Of the fight in Maine 70 me-
And how you won the victory"
The grandsire raised his feeble arm:
'Oh, twas glorious day.
And fierce and strong. and all day long,
e And iI1 when en- the night Closed on us. we
Had won famous victory"
But tell us what the victory meant,
And what yeu fought about
And tell me how the Democrats
That YOU were with came out
why, that can not do /" said he,
But twas famous victory"
In hope and strength we waded in,
But when the day was DONE
OF all our numerous candi dates,
We hadn't elected one;
We hadn't point. that could see,
But twas q famous victory"
by noon our party strength was gone.
And we kept right on the wane;
And the chill, cold hand of death lay ON
The Democrats Of Maine;
b.. still they .aid-I can inst see
I'VE never elected candidate:
We were kicked clear out in the cold;
And felt when ! read the black returns.
A thousand centuries old;
But the New York World said 'Hoop-pee.
Another glorious victory"
"And since we won that bloody fray
Just why, can't explain,
They never have found Democrat
Alive in the State of Maine
Thew haze that State-its quueer to me-
Since winning that famous victory
His grandson cried, But I can't see how.
II they licked you out of your eyes,
And scOOped out" The rrandsire said
That's just where the trouble lies;
Its the Dutchest kind Of Greek to me-
But know it's famous victory"

How TO PRESS AUTUMN LEAvEs.-Press the
leaves carefully between newspapers, taking
care to avoid tapping one over another. The
next dsy take out the leaves and dry the pa
pers. Put the leaves again in press, and the
next day repeat the drying process. This
should he done three or four times, or until all
the moisture is extracted from the leaves. This
is troublesome, but the result is brilliant. If
the face of each leaf after the first pressing, is
brushed over with sulphuric acid, diluted one
half with water, the color will be still brighter.
Do not wax or varuish the leaves, as it gives
them an unnatural gloss. They can be made in
sprays or garlands by means of the fine wire
which florists use, twisted lightly around
other stems. Remember that sulphuric acid
must be used very carefully, as it burns holes

If signs don't fail, the coming winter will be
the coolest experienced in this latitude since the
country was discovered by a man named Mr..

CREAM ToAsT.-Take two quarts of milk, pu {

to warm. Toast eight or ten slices of bread,
dip them in the warm milk to soften, and put
them in the toast dish, put the remainder of the
milk in the spider, and thicken 10 consistency
of cream by stirring smoothly into it spoonful
or two of -four mixed in little cold milk Re-
move from the fire as soon as it boils; add salt
and tri1e of butter. Put the slices of bread
hack into the milk, and it is ready to serve.
This toast is much improved if the milk has
stood long enough for the cream to rise, by
skimming off the cream and adding it last. If
the directions are not followed implicitly, the
flavor of this dish will be spoiled

How TO MAKE CIDER VINEGAR-To make
good vinegar, the essentials are Good cider, q
temperature of about 60 degrees, and as COM
plete exposure to the air as possible. The de-
vices offered act upon the priciple Of exposing
cider to the air in shallow trays. A cask half
filled with cider, with bung out, in a warm room,
will become vinegar much sooner than full
cask, bunged up, in O cool cellar.
Vinegar making is sort of fermentation
greatly facilitated by kind of low microscopic
plant, popularity known as the smother" of
vinegar. Placing cider in old casks containing
this, and mixing cider with old vinegar, hast

MEDICINAL VIRTUES OF ONIoNs.-A mother
writes "Once q week invariably, and general
ly when We had cold meat minced. gave the
children q dinner which was hailed with de-
light, and looked forward to this is a dish of
boiled onions. The little things knew that they
were taking the best of medicine for expelling
what most children suffer from, worms. Mine
were kept free by this remedy alone. Not only
boiled onions for dinner, but chives also they
were encouraged to eat with their bread and
butter, and for this purpose they had tufts of
chives in their little gardens. 1t was medical
man who taught me to eat boiled onions, as a
specific for a cold in the chest. He did not
know at the time, till told him, that they
were good for anything else"

NOSE BLEED.-Tbe Scientific american gives
the following plan for checking bleeding at the
nose: "The best remedy for bleeding at the

if in the act of mastication. In the case of q
child, wad of paper in its mouth; should be in
structed to chew it hard. 1t is the motion Of
the jaws that stop the flow of blood. This rem
edy is so very simple that many will feel inclin-
cd to laugh at it, but it has not been known to
fail in q single instance, even in very severe
