TOMATO CATsUP.-Wash bushel of
ripe tomatoes, cut them in pieces and re-
move all green portions as they injUre
the color. Cook until soft, then strain
through a sieve pressing well to obtain the
pulp. For this quantity, allow half an
ounce of cayenne pepper, one ounce
ground cinnamon and a scant teacupful
of salt. Stir these into the catsup. The
balance Of the spices being dark would
injure the color if put in loose and
ground. To avoid this, bruise an ounce
each of cloves, allspice, mace, celery
seed, and half as much black pepper /;
tie them securely in a thin muslin bag,
and when the strained tomatoes have
boiled an hour and a half add the spices
and boil as much longer. Last of all
put in a quart of good cider-vinegar,
boil for half an hour and turn into a
stone jar TO cool. Next day put in half
a pint of brandy or pure spirits, mix
thoroughly and bottle, putting a strip of
horseTadish root in each. Use new corks
to fit the bottles, soak them in hot water,
then pound in as tight as possible, and
cut the top of the cork off even with the
bottle. Make a cement by melting to-
gether two ounces of resin and one each
of beeswax and gum-shellac. Lnvert
each bottle into the hot cement and
when cold dip again keep in a COO, dark
place.

Music by the Yard.

He who hath music in his soul, but
can not express it through lack of tech
nical skill with instruments devised to
stimulate the concord of sweet sounds,
need no longer despair. Inventive
genius has solved the problem without
forcing him to be content with the mo-
notOnOus hand-organ or the mechanical
music-bOX. The automatic organ, as it
is called, involves the necessity on the
part of the player of using the feet upon
the treadles, but the manipulations of
the keys by the fingers is dispensed with
by the peculiar process Of having the
music play itself. In place of ordinary
notes printed on a few pages, the roll of
music is yards in length and the notes
are perforatiOns varying in size and
place according to the time and pitch.
By an arrangement of wheels this roll is
unwound and drawn over the openings
above the reeds by the same motion of
the pedals which forces the air through
the latter; and as the perforatiOns pass
over the reeds the musical sounds are
allowed to escape in harmony, just as
they do when the keys are pressed in an
ordinary organ.
When the tune is played, an ingenious
contrivance permits the machinery to be
reversed and the sheet of music to be
removed in readiness for another per-
formance. 1t can then be readily re-
moved and another put in its place. Ac-
cording to the scope of the instrument
the style of the music performed may be
varied from a - Stabat Mater " to airs
from 8 Pinafore." The cost of the rolls
is only slightly in advance of ordinary
sheet-music; while large sized instru-
ment can be had for about the same as
the cheapest ordinary parlor organ
This invention is a realization of the
fancy of music reeled out by the yard

"PERFECTLY." "

There was once a perfectly modern girl,
In perfectly modern ways,
Who saw perfection in every thing
That happened to meet her gaze.
Such perfectly lovely things she saw,
And perfectly awful too,
That none would have dared to doubt he
word,
So perfectly, perfectly true.
The weather, she said, in summer time,
Was perfectly, awfully warm;
The winter was perfect, too, when there cam
Some perfectly terrible storm.
She went to a perfectly horTid school,
In perfectly horfd town;
And the perfectly hOrrid teachers there
Did things up perfectly brown.
Her lessons we're perfectly fearfully long,
But never were perfectly said;
And when she failed, as often she did
Her face grew perfectly red.
The church she attended was perfectly mar
With perfectly heavenly spire;
And perfect crowds go there to hear
perfectly stunning choir.
The latest style is perfectly sweet
The last the perfectest out;
The books she reads arc perfectly good
(Just here we raise a doubt.
ride she took was perfectly grand,
On perfectly gorgeous day,
With Il perfectly nObby friend of hers
Who happened TO pass that way.
The perfectly elegant falls she'd seen
when on her way to the lake;
And the graphic description she gave us all
was simply "A modern mistake.
The perfectly splendid foam dashed up
In a perfectly killing style;
And the perfectly terrible waves came down
In perfectly lovely pile.

But fearing to wear your patience out

A Poor Widows Valuable Picture.

The wOrthlessness or waste of money
to those who misunderstood its use Is
witnessed often enough in the case Of
many who should know better. An ex-
ample of real ignorance-and
singIlarly forcibIe one-is the following,
related by an officer of the Bank of
England to London correspondent:
poor little Hungarian widow, living
in a garret at LimehOuse with her deaf
and dumb son, was overtaken by the
hard times, and fell i'll. This was at
the end of the year. The neighbOTs
wanted to fetch the relieving officer and
the parish doctor, but the old creature,
who hardly knew a word of English,
made If known that she wanted no aid
Of any kind. At last she became in
sensible, and then the other dodgers and
the landlord entered her room. They
found it wretchedly furnished, but plas-
tered all over with coiored prints and
engravings. Looking over these, one Of
the intruders saw a hundred-pOund note
posted between "A cut from the London
Illustrated Ne5Cs and a business card.
Doubling his eyes, he drew the attention
Of others to it, and the doctor, who had
been sent for, coming in at the time, the
fact was made known TO all An at
tempt was made to detach the precious
engraving from the wainscOt, but to no
purpose, and by direction of the med:-
cal man, the piece Of panel was cut out,
taken to the Bank of England, and
cashed on the nail, when the doctor ex-
planned that the proceeds would be lodg-
ed to the credit Of the old lady, who, with
her son, was made more comfortable
than she had ever been. 1t seems she
picked up the note two years ago, and
seeing in it only a picture. fixed it
on the wall of her room, where it re-
manned an Unsuspected treasure until
discovered

In consequence of the large amount
of money seeking profitable Investment,
the mania for specializing in railroad
and mining stocks and in cultures" in
cotton and provisions is almost epidem-
ic. Now and then a fortunate man hits
the market just right and secures hand
some return, but in the majority of cases
the inexperienced speculator finds his
margin exhausted and his money lost.
Most of this speculation is pure gam
bling, with the chances less in favor OF
the player than in lottery investments.
And in addition to the risk or loss the
business is demoralizing, as is striking
ly shown by recent disclosures at Fall
River. Those fortunate people with
money to invest are wisest who are con-
tent with the small but sure returns OF
good bonds and mortgages, or who buy
desirable real estate ut the present low
rates.-Hargord Colrdnt.

HALEHEARTED

# could love thee love, a little more,
II thy fair love Outlfved the brief sweet rose
ii in my golden field were all thy store,
And all my JOY within thy garden close
Then would pray my heart to be full fond
Forever and little bit beyond
If daffodil and primrose were not frail
II snOWdroD died not ere the dying day
If l were true as Daphnis in the tale,
If thou could'st love as Juliet in the play
Then would teach my heart 20 be full fond
Forever, and little bit beyond.
But since fear am but wayward true,
And wayward false, fair love, thou seem'st
TO be
Since / some day must sigh for something
new,
And each day thou for lffe's monOtOny-
Prithee, stay here, ere yet we grow too fond,
And let me pass little bit beyond.

Primitive Innocence.

In a letter read at a meeting OF the
Academy of Natural Science, of Phila-
delphia, DIR. Charles A. Siegfried, L. S. N,
writes as follows: 1--WE visited an
island called Botel Tobago while sur
veying a rock, 80 miles east of South
Cape, off Formosa. We found a race of
aborigines, probably from Malay stock.
They knew nothing of money, rum, or
tobacco. They gave Us goats and pigs
for tin pots and brass buttons, and
would hang around Us all day in their
canoes, waiting for chance 70 dive for

Not Domestic, but Littery.o

One of those incongruities which Sol
ONION referred to IN Prov 14:22, is
sketched by writer in the Boston Jour
nal:
1.-The writer recalls a circumstance
noticed in a popular hotel in Florida
some winters ago. The outer air was
somewhat damp and chilly, and the
guests had congregated in the parlors.
The GENITAL figure in one of the groups
was a maiden from Philadelphia, the
richness of whose apparel and the bril-
iancy of whose jewels far be it from the
writer to attempt to describe. A circle
of admirers was gathered about this fair
and dazzling creature, listening TO her
words, and we drew modestly within the
outer lines, to bask for a moment in her
radiance. The conversation had some
how turned upon domestic matters, and
these were the words which we heard
fall from the lips of the maid of lace and
diamonds: We'll, 1 don't know much
about housekeepin' and such things, but

This popular order, which seems to
be rapidly taking the place of Insur-
ance Companies, is in much favor
here, and is likely to increase IN
popularity, now that the benefit OF

who was member Of the Lodge here
and who died sometime ago, has been
paid to Mrs. Till, according to the
benefit certificate. Sixty days from
