The Editors Dream.

Once upon a time an editor dreamed that
he was dead and in another world. He ap-
preached a city before him, and knocked
for admittance, but no one answered his
summons. The gate remained closed
against him. Then he cried aloud for en-.
trance; but the only response was scores of
heads appearing above the wall ON the
other side of the gate. At the sightof him
the owners of the heads set up dismal
howl, and ore of them cried:
Why didn't you notico that big egg l
gave your"
At this horrid and most unexpected
interrogation, the poor local turned in the
direction ef the voice, to learn its ewner,
when another voice shrieked:
Where's that piece you were going to
write about my soda fOuntain?" and close
upon this was the awful demand: "Why
did you write that piece about old Temlin-
sens hons, and never speak of my new
gatc?"
Whatever answer he was going to frame
to this appeal was cut shert by the aston.
ishing query: "Why did you spell nay
name wrong in the programme
The miserable man turned to flee, wher
he was rooted to the ground by this terrible
demand Why did you put nay marriage

He was on the point ef saying the fore

Robert Raikes and His Work.

Both in this County and in England
preparations are making to celebrate the
centennial of the establishment of Sunday
Schools, by Robert Raikes, the printer, at
Gloucester, England. The utility of estab-
fishing such schools was suggested to
Raikes by the miserable and neglected
state of the poor children of his native
tswn. sBeing in easy circumstances, and
inspired by noble desire to benefit class
that appealed strongly fsrsympathy, Raikes
secured o room and teachers, and gathered
in the outcasts. The children were to
come soon after ten in the morning, and
stay till twelve; they were then to go
home and return at enc, and after reading
a lesson they were to be conducted to
church. After church they were to be
employed in repeating the catechism till
half after five, and then to be dismissed
with an injunction to so home without
making a noise.
Raikes also insisted on cleanliness, and
helped to clothe the children whose pow
erty had covered them with rags. Others
soon Joined in the good work. The results
were SO beneficial, that other towns followed
| the example, and Sunday Schools were es-
tablished in the leading towns. Mags-
trates, judges, bishops, and others, high in
pesitien both in Church and State, gave
| the movement their endorsement. 1t was
praised and patronized by royalty, and in
| l7S9, or nine years after the opening of
the original school at Gloucester, there
were no fewer than 100000 scholars in
Sunday Schools throughout the United
| Kingdom.
| Adam Smith, the author of "The Wealth
of the Nations" said that, "NS plan has
promised to effect change Of manners
with equal ease and simplicity since the
days Of the apostles )" and Jehn Wesley
writing in 1884, said " find these schools
sprinsing up wherever 60. Perhaps Gee
may have deeper end therein than msp
are aware Of Who knows but some o
these schools may become nurseries fol
Christians"
Raikes lived to rejoice in the success o
his work. He died suddenly on the 5th o
April, 1911, and was buried in the family
vault in Gloucester.
The Sunday School system was intrOdu
ced into this couRtry in 1856 by Bishop
Asbury. 1t is estimated that there are
now about 250,000 teachers, and some
100000 pupils in the whole couRtry. The
Sunday Scheels are most numerous in New
England, andI least numerous in the ex
trene South West YonkerS Statesman.

TIE MEN VINO WILL Nor PAY.-Ws have
three members in eur church who are in
good and regular standing, and while they
are able, will not pay a dOllar to the sup.
port of the church. Brother A. doesn't
like the singing, brother B. dOesen't like
the minister, brother c. enjoys going to
another church very much. Now if after
due admOnition they still refuse to con-
tribute TO the church. may they be expelled
from its membership
There can be no question that every
member of church is bound by his
csvsnaAted obligations, and the public pro-
fessiOn he has made, to pay his share Of
the expenses incurred in maintaining pub
lie worship. In determining who the pas.
ter is to be, and what the singing is to be,
the majority of the church is in fact the
church itself When man can no loHgsr
abide by the voice of the majority, he
should ask fer letter of dismissien to join
some other church, and in the event of his
net doing this, and still refusing to pay his
share for the support of public worship,
the church, "after due admonitioH," should
Withdraw from him the hand of fellowship.
These people that don't like this, and
don't like that, and make their personal
dislixes their excuse for paying nothing for
the support of worship, are people that
any church can better afford to lose than

A Few Hints About House-Cleaning

CopperaS mixed with whtewash put upon
the cellar walls will keep vermn away.
To polish stained floors rub them thor
oughly once week with beeswax and tur
pentine.
Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at night
destroys cockroaches; they eat it and are
poisoned.
Streng brine may be used to advantage
IN washing beaSteads; hot alum is also good
for this purpose.
Drain pipes and all places that are sour
or impure may be cleaned With lime water,
coppefas water or carbelic acid.
When housecleaning, be sure and take
nutritious food at least three times per
day, and it will 60 far toward enabling you
to keep strength and temper.
Carpets should be thoroughly beaten on
the wrong side first, and then on the right,
after which spots may be removed by the
use OF oxgall or ammonia and water
When hard finished walls are calcimined,
the solled coats should be washed or scraped
before new one is put on. This is the
most dlsagreeable part of the process. The
furniture sheuld be covered, as lime max es
spots that remove with difficulty, especially
upon black walnut.
Furniture needs cleaning az much as
other woodwork. 1t may be washed with
warm soap-suds, quickly wiped dry and
theR rubbed with an oily cloth. To pelsh
It, rub it with rottsn-stone and sweet oil.
Clean eff the ell and polish it with chamoi.
skin. Fer ordinary woodwork use whiting
to rub the dirt off and ammonia. Mortar
and paint may be removed from windsw.
glass with hot, sharp vinegar. Grained
woed should be washed with cold tea.
In washing painted walls it is a good
plan to remove from the room everything
that can be injured by steam and then
hang sheets wrung from hot water in the
room. The vaper, condensing on the walls
soitens the dirt, which may be wiped of
with woolen cloths wrung from soda water
Ceilings that have been smoked by kero
sene lamp should he washed off with sods
water. If the wall about the stove ha,
been smoked by the stove, cover the black
patches with gum shellac and they will moi
strike through paint or calcimine.
Paint your plastered walls and they vii
not absorb oders. You can easily clean
them with soda and water. Soap anG
water spots them. When paper and plaster
become saturated with cffluvia, nothing
but entire removal will clean them. In.
sects will not harbor in painted walls
Before paint or calcimine is applied tS
walls every crack and creviee should be
filled with plaster er cement made Of one
part water to enc part silicate Of potash
mixed with common whiting. For the
calcimine put quarter Of pound of white
glue in cold water over night and hea

Mix eight pounds of whiting with no

Crooked" Lightning Rod Agents.

With the first warm days of spring, says
the Oxford Press, comes the lightning rod
agent and the tribulations of the builders
OF new houses and barns commence. The
agent comes along, spies out the unrodded
buildings and forthwith pounces down xpon
the oWner-kind of strikes like lightning
and will net let up until he promises to
allow an estimate to be made OF the cost of
putting up rod. This estimate is generally
far below what the work will cost and
when the agreement is entered into, the
work done and the bill rendered. trouble
begins. The bill is generally four or FIVE
times AS high as the price agreed upon,
and II the owner disputes the bill, he is, if
unwary, cajoled into signing note for
slightly compromised amount, and the
lightning rod man having accomplished his
work departs in good spirits.
1t was somewhat after this manRer that
Elisha r. Ewing, of Cecil county, Just over
the State line near Elk Mills, this county,
was caught ene day last week, and he a5-
vertlses against the negotiation of a note
for $l32.25, which he says was obtained
through false representations and does not
intend to pay. When a lightning rod
agent attempts to bulldoze an owner into
having rod put upon his building, the
owner should be upon his guard against
being coaxed or forced into having the
work done.
The Cecil Democrat gives the following in
relation to one of these rascally lightning
rod transactions: One day recently farmer
living near Lewisville, Just across line in
Chester county, Pa, was called on by a
lightning rod man who expressed an ardent
wish to furnish his buildings with the latest
improved and safest lightning conductors
in use. His price was high-about $50
and the farmer declined. But the agent
persisted and gradually came down in
figures until he reached SIS, when an agree.
ment was concluded and paper setting
forth the stipuations signed The agent
then left, with the understanding that his
workmen would be along shortly and put
up the rods. They arrived, but the farmer
learning from them that the price was to be
$3.50 instead of SIS, refused to allow them
to proceed with the work. Their foreman
insisted that the farmer had signed con.
tract for $3.50, and declared that he would,
in spite of him, put up the rods, or leave
them OH the place. The discussion become
more excited. The farmer armed with an
axe and the former with a pistol, faced
| each other. But the farmer was in earnest.
The lightning rod man saw it and sought
safety in retreat. Fearing he might return
and leave the rods he chained his gates.
Two Of his neighbors, residing in this
county, we have been informed, were vic
timized by the same or another party OF
swindlers. Not having as much pluck they
submitted to the imposition. AS our in
formant remarked they probably don't
read the papers, and consequently are not
up to the tricks of rascally peddlers.

Kite.hying is an expensive recreation in
Bodie. A saloon keeper of that mining
centre recently made a kite of a $500 plate
glass, 6x10 barroOm mirror, tying to 1t q
string Of demijohnS and brown jugs for a
tail. The novel kite went up with rush
and, rejecting the rays Of the sun, dazzlsd
the ewes of all who beheld it. Its focus ex-
tended as far as Mammoth, where hay
stack was set on fire by concentration OF
the SUMS rays. The inhabitants Of the
latter place were greatly alarmed at the
singular object in the heavens, enc cores
pondsnt comparing it to "a ball Of con-
densed lightning" Unfortunately the sa.
leon keepers stock of jugs and denlUOhns
was not large enough to supply the neees-
sarv counter poise TO the heavy mirror,
and after ascending to great height with
amazing rapidity, it suddenly turned and
fell with crash to the earth, breaking into
a thousand fragments. The whisting OF
of the wind in the jugs and denaijehns
made a peculiar sort of music, the stone
Jugs supplying the bass and the glass dsni-
ie6ns the treble. 1t happened that they
were all in accord, and fine harmsny was
