Useful and. Useless Husbands.

The average husband is conceded by al
| intelligent wives to be utterly useless
when at home, He may be acute and
skillful at his business, and he may be an
affectionate husband and father, but W hen
there is anything to be done in the no use
in the way of repairing furniture or i'm
promising cheap substitutes for bed steads
or mop-handles, he is of less value than
his own little boy, who often helps his mo
Their. While this is undoubtedly true of most
men, there is occasionally one constantly
practicing as an amateur cabinet-m aker
plumber or carpenter. He often prowls
about the house seeking articles upon
which he can use little glue or varnish,
and devising plans for filling up the cor
ner of the dining-room with few triangu-
lar shelves, and for puttinga wooden man.
te!piece in the'hall bedroom. The sound
of his saw aud hammer is often heard, and
he goes to bed at late hours, with more
paint adhering to his fingers than his wife
~ ~, W is a curious Illus
tratIOn of the perversity of the female sex
that husband with this fondness for do
ing little useful things is held among wives
to be even more undesirable than the kind
of husband who is perfectly useless. He is
charged not only with a fendish fondn ess
for late hammering, but is constantly up
braided because he makes so many chips.
In vain does he explain that planning a
board necessarily results in chips, and that
sawdust is the inevitable consequence of
using saw. lie is told that he ought to
be ashamed of himself, and that no decent
man would think of making chips all over
the floor. These things, however, never
dishearten a husband of an active DISPOSE
ton, who cannot possibly find any enjoy
ment in sitting at home and doug nothin e
at all; to him the little domestic jobs are
all arelaXation, especially when the nature
of his daily routine bushes is of another
kind; and we earnestly implore wives who
happen to have such husbands to be indul
gent toward them, as they are really of
more value to them and their children
than those who, when at home, do nothing
but ill their rooms with tobacco.-Cham-
ber's Journal.

VEAL PIE.-Let your veal be juicy and
not too fat. Take out all the bone and put
with the fat and refuse bits, such as skin
or gristle, in saucepan, with large tea
cupful of cold water, to make a gravy. In
stead of chopping the veal cut into thin,
even slices. Line pudding dish with
good paste, and put layer of veal in the
bottom then one of the hard-boiled eggs
sliced, each piece buttered and peppered
before it is laid upon the veal; cover these
with sliced ham or thin strips of salt pork
Squeeze few drops Of lemon juice upon
the ham. Then another layer of veal, and
so on until you are ready for the gravy.
This should have been stewing for half an
hour or so, with the addition of pepper and
a bunch of aromatic herbs. Strain through
thin cloth and pour over the pie. Cover
with crust and bake Jwo hours.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

IMPORTANT FACTS TO THOSE WHO
BURN KERosENE.-We CLEAN from an
exchange the following facts and instruc-
tons concerning kerosene oil, which it will
be well to remember, as by following the
advice contained therein many of the
dreadful casualties that daily occur may
be obviated;
Kerosene oil is one of the products de-
rived from refining crude petroleum as it
comes from the well.
The oil is always more OF less dangerous,
according to the amount of yiolentsgases
left in it.
Every lamp filled with the fluid is liable
to explode after burning several hours.
ijut no explosion will ever happen with
the lamp full.
A simple test is to place tablespoonful
of the oil in saucer and apply a lighted
match if it ignites, it is unsafe; never
use it. If it does not take fire it is not
necessarily safe; because the temperature
of the oil in the open air is not so great as
that in a burning lamp.
The only reliable test is one made by
slowly heating some oil in which a Their
mometer is placed, constantly noting thu
number of degrees and applying lighted
match, not to the oil but to the vapor, il
any, just above the surface. If the oil
flashes below 120 degrees reject it.
This flashing point is the temperature
at which the Oil emits an infamable va
por, and depends upon the quantity o
naphtha or gasoline in the oil. This point
should always be higher than the temper
allure that the oil ever reaches in lamp,
which is often 100.
Cautions-1. Keep the metallic parts of
lamps clean and the air passage open.
2. After lamp has been burning three
OF more hours at one time, never relight
again, till reflled.
8. In extinguishing the light, turn the
wick down quite low and allow few Sec
onds to intervene before blowing out the
flicker ing flame, Or, better still, do not
blow it out, but let it flicker out.

IT turns out that the Secretary Of the
recent Mint Investigation, who has
since been appointed Chief Clerk Of
that institution by the new incumbent.
Mr.. Dodge, of whitewashing expert
ence, is not . citizen Of the United
States, but belongs to Canada 1t sp.
pears be holds his place through the
favor of Mr.. Inspector Lindermsn, who
appears to have selected all the en-
ployees, from chief clerk down to jsni-
tor. That Mint was bad enough under
the old regime; but under the present
force it will be manipulated entirely in
the interests of one or two banks in San
Francisco, Ex-Governor Low being at
the head of one, aud Flood & O'Brisn
the other. Is it any wonder that silver
coin becomes demonetized when the
bankers control the Minis, and have
coin made to any value that best suits

German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world was
ever given such test of its curative
qualities as Boschee's German Syrup.
In three years two million four hundred
thousand small bottles of this medi-
cine were distributed free Of charge by
Druggists in this country to those
afflicted with Consumption. Asthma,
Group, severe Coughs. Pneumonia anil
other diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
giving the American people undeniable
proof that German Syrup will cure
them. The result has been that Drug
gists in every town and village in the
United States are recommending il to
their customers. Go to your Druggist.
and ask what they know about it.
Sample Bottles 10 cents. Regular
Size IS cents. Three doses will relieve
any case.

A PIECE CLUB"

In San Francisco they organize little
clubs just before municipal or county
elections and elect some noted ward
ranger as president. This president
then goes to the candidates and sells
the vote Of the club for so much per
head. He dwells largely upon his in
ference and that Of the club and so
succeeds in discriminating every candi-
date on the ticket for Q "piece." So
serious an evil has this become. that
Major William Harvey, the best county
clerk that San Francisco ever bad, de-
clined to be candidate for reelection
because the ''piece clubs" would de-
mand more than be could earn in two
