SAVING SOAP GREASE AND MAKING
IT UP.-In order to keep soap grease clean
and sweet during summer, run off some lye
and boil it down until it will eat a feather
if put into it. Then put away in an iron
or other vessel, and throw your meat
rines and scraps therein. When you make
your soap. boil down lye as before, put lit
into an iron kettle, this grease with other,
if you have it, and let it boil and stir occa-
sionally. In order to test the proportions
of grease and I've, take some out into a
dish, let it cool, and if it does not get hard
your soap wants more boiling and more
I've: if too much lye it will settle to the
bottom, when add more greaseand boiling.
The experienced can test the presence of
too much lye by its keen bite, and it's
absence, vice versa, by a touch of the
tongue. A half day is time enough ordi-
narily to make a kettle Of soap, which
when done should cut out like ginger
bread.

CALICO.

1t was rather an embarrassing thing to
do, but Charley May had done it well and
bravely, like a man. He was nothing but
a clerk at $500 a year; nevertheless, he had
boldly craved audience Of the portly old
millionaire, and asked him for his daugh-
tel, as he might have asked for the mill.
ner girl round,the corner.
Mr.. Bryant only wiped his pen and laid
it in the carved bronze rack; he moved
back his chair a pace or two, looking
Charley May full in the face as he did so,
with a curious hooking light in his cold
blue eyes.
$50 you want to marry my daughter,

Provokingly handsome he looked IS he
stood there, with the reddish brown hair
thrown back from his square white fore
| head, the hazel eyes clear and confident,
AND the perfectly cut lips, a little apart.
somehow, in the midst of his wrath and
derision, old Richard Bryant could not
held thinking that we're he a girl Of eigh-
teen, he might possibly have fallen in love
with such a young man as Charley May.
sis there any other little trifle 1 could
let you have ?" sneered the sarcastic old
man. ga block of houses, or a Broadway
lease or so, or any other small favor ?"
"You are laughing at me, SIR" said
Charley, coloring. yet speaking with a GER
tain quiet dignity. 81 have asked you a
simple question; surely I have the right
to a frank answer"
"Then listen to me, young man." said
Richard Bryant, with a sudden abrupt
sternness.-s'You are aspiring altogether
too high-you cannot have my daughter
Maude. Now you have your answer
go!"
Charles May stood for a moment like
one upon whom a thunderbolt had fallen
with sudden blighting power, then he
turned and walked quietly out of the hand
some gothic library, where the blue and
gold circles of light from the oriel windows
quivered over the deep crimson of the
Wilton carpet, and the pure marble faces
of Pallas and Venus de Milo watched him
as he went.

around a bottle and fasten the end dow;

the lace across. going round once at tie

soap suds of warm water, Il add a little
borax,l and change the water if necessary;
let it soak, and by patting and squeezing
it will be clean. Rinse in warm water, and
lastly a trifle of starch in slightly-blued
water; tie a string on the neck of the bot
tie and hang on a tree or any place safe
from obstructions-be sure to smooth the
lace before you hang up. When it is dry
and perfectly bleached you cut the threads
and pull them out, and you pull off (by
the end) the lace as nicely ironed and fresh
as when it was new. sa .2l.ls

Dear Sir,-I feel it M duty to say one word in
regard to the great benefit l have received from the
use of one Of the greatest wonders of the world; it
is your Vegetine: l have been one of the greatest
sufferers for the last eight years that ever could be

in sores. For the last three years l have not been
able to walk; now l can walk and sleep, and do my
work as well as ever l did, and l must say 1 owe it
all to your blood purifier, Vegetine.

/ remember once, says Hazlitt. strolling
along the margin of a stream, in one of those
low sheltered valleys on Salisbury plain,
where the monks of former ages planted
chapels and built hermIts' cells. There was
a little parish church near, but tall elms
and quivering alders hid it from the sight,
when, all on a sudden, 1 was startled by
the sound of the full organ pealing on
the ear, accompanied by rustic voices,
and the willing choir of village maids
and children. 1t rose, indeed, like an
exhalation of rich distilled perfumes" The
dews from a thousand pastures were gather
ed in its softness; the silence of a thousand
years spoke In it. 1t came upon the heart
like the calm beauty of death; fancy caught
the sound, and faith mounted on it to the
skies. 1t filled the valley like a mist, and
still poured out its endless chant and still it
swells upon the ear, and wraps me in a
golden trance, drowning the noisy tumult of
the world

Humming birds are very fond of flowers.
The Middletown (Cal. Press tells of one of
the little fellows that went off on new
SCENT" decidedly: "a young gentleman Of
this village has one of the rarest pets, hum
ming bird, which has nest near his home,
and which has become so thoroughly tanned
that it readily feeds from his hand. A
laughable incident occurred recently
while he was feeding it. He had been
holding fuchsias and other flowers in
his hand, from which the little beauty was
enjoying fine repast, and he bad also given
it some syrup. Suddenly blossom, which
has lately appeared on the young gentle
mans proboscis, attracted the attention of
the attention of the bird, and he made a
dive for it, finding it a fraud when it was
reached. When a nose gets so attractive
with blossoms that even humming birds go
for it, it is time the owner of such a nose
donned the blue ribbon"

American Potatoes in England.

Steadily our industries are pressing on
English products The London Times as
serts that even American potatoes threaten
to drive out the home bred article. 1t is not
so many years ago but the proposition that
an American potato was equal to an English
one would have been ridiculed. Our seed
growers introduced the choicer American
varieties to public notice, and they soon
won their way to public favor. The Times
now notes that American potatoes no Longer
come into their market as ''seed," but have,
during the last year, taken the higher ground
of wares" being imported in large quanti-
ties for direct consumption.
