Some Little Things Learned by
Experience.

If your coal fire is low, throw on
tablespoonful of salt, and it will
help ii very much.
a little ginger put into sausage
meat improves the flavor.
In icing cakes, dip the knife fire.
quently into cold water.
In boiling meat for soup use cold
water to extract the juices. If the
meat is wanted for itself alone,
plunge in boiling water at once.
You can get bottle or barrel of
oil off any carpet or wooden stuff by
applying buck wheat plentifully
and faithfully. Never put water to
such a grease spot or liquid of any
kind.
Broil steak without sailing. Salt
draws the juices in cooking; it is
desirable to keep these in if possible.
Cook over a hot fire, turning fire.
quently, searirg on both sides. Place
on a platter; salt and pepper to
taste.
Beef having tendency to be
tough can be made very palatable
by stewing gently for two hours,
with pepper and salt, taking out
about pint of the liquor when half
done, and letting the rest boil into
the meat. Brown the meat in the
pot. After taking up, make a gravy
of the pint of liquor saved.
a small piece of charcoal in the
pot with boiling cabbage removes
the smell.
Clean oil cloth with milk and wa
ter brush and soap will remove
them.
Tumblers that have had milk in
them should never be put in hot
water.
a teaspoonful of stewed tomatoes
in the gravy of either roasted or
fried meat is an improvement.
The skin of a boiled egg is the
most efficaciOus remedy that can be
applied to a boil. Peel it carefully,
wet and apply it to the part affect
ed. 1t will draw off the matter
and relieve the soreness in few
hours.

stood on the bridge az midnight.
AS the clocks were striking the hour.
And the moon rose over the city.
Behind The dark Church tower
saw her bright reflection
In the waters under me,
Like golden goblet falling
And sinking Into the sea-
And ssr IN the hazy distance
or that lovely night in June,
Inc blaze Of the flaming furnace
Gloamed redder than the moon.
Among the long black rafters
The wavering shadows lay,
Aud the current that came from the ocean
seemed TO lit and beal them away,
Assweeping and eddyfng through them,
Rose the belated tide.
And streaming into the moonlight,
The seaweed hoated wide.
And like those waters rushing
Among the wooden piers,
A Hood Of thoughts came DER me
Ihat hlled my eyes with tears.
How often, o how often,
In the days that had gone by,
had stood on that bridge at midnight
And gazed on that wave and sky.
How often, o how often,
1 had wished that the ebbing tide
Would bear me away on its bosom
For my heart was hot and restless,
And my life was full Of care,
And the burden laid upon me
Seemed greater than / could bear.
But now il has fallen from me,
II is buried in the sea
And only the sorrow Of others
Throws its shadow over me.
Yet whenever cross the river
On IFS bridge with wooden piers,
like the udor of brine from the ocean
Comes the thought of other years.
And think how many thousands
OF cane-encumbered men,
Each bearing his burden OF sorrow.
Have crossed the bridge since then.
I see the long procession
Still paSsing 70 and mo,
The young heart hot and restless,
And the old suhdued and slow
And forever and forever,
AS long as the river flows,
As long a. the heart has passions,
As long as life has woes,
The moon and its broken reflection
And its shadows shall appear,
As the symbol OF love in heaven,
And its wavering image here

The skin contains more than p
OO0. OOO openings, which are the out

What Boys should he,
Homo Arts

First-Be tFue-be genuine. No
education is worth anything that
does not include this, A man had
better not know how to read-he
had better never learn letter of
the alphabet, and be true and genu-
inc i'm intention and in action, rath-
er than being learned in all sciences
and in languages, to be at the same
time false in heart and counterfeit
in life.
Second-Be pure in thought,
language-pure in mind and body.
An impure man, young or old, pois-
Oning the society where he moves
with smutty stories and impure ex-
ampIes, Is a moral ulcer, a plague
spot, leper who ought TO be treat
ed as were the lepers of old.
Third-Be unSelfiish. To care for
the feelings and comforts of others.
TO be polite. To be Just in all deal
ings with others. To be generous,
noble and manly.
FOurth-Be self-reliant and self
helpful even from early childhood.
To be industrious always, and self
supporting at the earliest proper
age. Teach them that all honest
work is honorable. and that an idle,
useless life of dependence on others
is diSgraceful.
When a boy has learned these
four things, when he has made these
ideas a part Of his being-however
young he may be, however poor,
or however richie has learned
some of the most important things
he ought to know when he becomes
a man.
