CarboIic Acid for Weeds.

An exchange says, we have found
upon trial that crude carbolic in the
proportion Of two tablespoonsful to a
half pail of water will kill the weeds In
garden walks. Apply with a watering
pot. 1t must not come in contact with
grass or flower borders. Weeds in
lawns, such as dandelions, daisies and
plantains may be killed by having
drop or two of undiluted carbolic or
strong sulphuric acid poured into the
crown Of the plant;

CIR A great many parents choose for
their boys the trade, profession, or occu-
patton they want them to follow, with
out regard TO their natural inclination.
The boy handy with the jack knife is
sent to college, and the boy with book
always in his hand is apprenticed to
trade; both are failures in life. A little
study by the parents of the aptitude of
these boys, would have reversed their
positions and made them successful.

Stale Bread.

A housekeeper tells The Country Gen.
tleman how she manages with stale
bread. She bakes only once week,
and with all her care the last loaves will
get stale. She then takes one loaf at
time, as wanted, puts it into steamer
well covered, and lets it steam for an
hour then puts it in the oven (not
hot enough TO burn it for about quar-
ter of an hour, to let the crust become
little dry and crisp. Bread eight days
old treated in this way becomes as fresh
as on the first day it was made.

0leomaruarlne.

Quite stir has recently been made
regarding this product. Many persons
have curious ideas regarding the ingre-
dients of II. On this subject the Scien-
ttfc american talks In the following
sensible way:
Producers of butter urge that oleomar-
garine injuries their profits by prevent
ing high prices for butter. If this be so,
IL argues good to consumers, whose In
terest must also be considered.
Another important benefit to con-
sumers is that oleomargarine chiefly In
terferes with the sale of common grades
of butter, to which II Is far superior, and
1t Is mainly dealers in this grade of but
ter who raise an ourcry against the new
product.
The complaints of farmers against
oleomargarine are confounded In fact.
Oleomargarlne is as much q farm pro-
duct as beef or butter, and Is as whole
some as either. 1t Is as legitimate u
commercial product as tallow or lard,
which might be as well prescribed as
oleomargarine.
The only argument advanced by its
opponents which has any validity is
that 1t is sometimes sold as butter; this
practice, however, has been greatly ex-
aggerated wholesale dealers who do
the same is daily increasing. Oleomar-
garine is fact in the commercial world
and must be treated as such.

A Word TO Business Mon.

Every established local newspaper

account for, but which the New York
Times of recent date, throws some
light upon the subject 10 the follow

who became rich, says his rule all
ways was, when he sold bill of
goods on credit, to Immediately sub
scribe for the local paper OF bis debt.
or. So long as bis customer adver.
tised literally and vigorously, he
rested, but as soon as he began to
contract his advertising space, he
took the fact as evidence that there
was trouble ahead, and he invariably
went for his debt. Said he, "the man
who is too poor to make his business
known, is too poor to do business. "
The withdrawal of an advertisement
Is an evidence of weakness that bus

A MOVEMENT is on foot in socia
circles in England to have marriage
ceremonies celebrated at night in.
stead of in the morning. 1t is urged
that, according to the English custom
marriages are distinctly at the wrong
hour, and there is very much to be
said in favor of reform. No doubt
special licenses can be obtained by
those who care to pay for them, and
in reality, marriages can be performed
at any hour of the day or in any
drawing room selected. But as 8
rule, people have very proper pref
udice in favor of going to church 81
their fathers and mothers did before
them, and this same churchgoinp
leads to the morning marriage that il
80 much objected to. On two grounds
the English method is unsatisfactory,
1t is unbecoming and inconvenient.
But custom IS ironclad in England
and it will take long time to break
down the rule of before noon wed.

A Disguised Parson.

Those who have been to Singer
meeting" 10 the southern states
have heared the miIister "line out"
the hymn or psalm in meter. But
it does not need that experience to
appreciate the following story con,
tributed. TO the columns ofthe World.
When John Randolph, of Roano-
Ike, died, he freed all his slaves, but
sought while Twin g to prepare them
for the change. He fixed up o
house of worship and employed q
minister to preach for ;hsm He
often attended and sometimes, it is
said, took part in the services, by
correcting any inappropriate illus.
tration made or erroneous views
advanced by bis preacher. 1t was
customary in those old fashioned
time for the country pastors to
give out two lines of q hymn at a
times. which was taken up by the
negroes and sung with loud and
joyous voices. On one occasion
while the singing was going on, it
is said, tho honest old preacher OBJ.
served an old man with his foot upon
the heated stove, and before reading
the next two lines, be pointed his
finger at the man and said:
Beware, Old sinner, you
Will burn your cowhide shoe"
This was promptly taken up by
the vast throDg, presuming it was a
part of the hymn, and sung. The old
pastor then said
"My friends, you all are wrong;
That was not in the song.n
This was readily caught up and
sung with great power. The past or
then, with much gesticulation, said /:
'Please do not sing again;
| want time TO explain"
This was also sung, and the old
pastor, completely Disguised, retired
from the pulpit, and did not know he
had been making poetry himself IN.
til informed by one OF his hearers.
This incident shows the initiative
character of the negro race, and even
to this day, any song, no matter how
nonsensical the words, if it is high
sounded and has somewhat of a
mournful tone, is as acceptable to
them as any other.

The sound Of steps that, soon or late,
Shall come as music to your ear;
Forget yourselves little while,

Of women who win never smile
To hear coming step again.

Or cling 10 you in perfect trust;
Think of the mothers left to weep,
Their babies lying in the dust.

And all your world is full of light,
