I listen to the laughter in your room;
And do you laugh because my sad heart grieves
Ger buried forms Of joy? The flowers perfume !
Meier fingers in dead branches and sere leayeF
So days have lived whose sun ne'er shines again,
And other nights had more and brighter stars.
All! rocks our storm SCARED boat as gay as when
In youth we sailed across yon harbor bars?
I leave you now, and shall not breathe sigh,
Because hear your slowly-conaing feet;
Rather than have you see my sorrow, sweet!
JOHNNY has never learned anything
about figures. On Independence day
a circus came to town, and, after the
procession had passed the house where
Johnny lives, he had much to tell of
what he had seen to all his little
friends; but he told some very long and
large stories, ard one day be said that
he saw in the procession, marching side
by side, 1900 .elephantsl "That's a
whopper," said Henry Nickle; II don't
believe that" WELL" said Johnny,
II saw funny camel, anyway, and I
can believe that myself" ,c.,n -.
TEE original "Mother Goose" was
the mother.in-law of Thomas Fleet, the
editor, in 1871, of the Boston Weekly
Rehearsal. The sold woman" of these
world-famous melodies belonged to o
wealthy family in Boston, where her
daughter, Elizabeth Goose, was married
by Cotton Mather, in It's, to Fleet.
Like mothers-in-law generally, the im-
portance of Mrs. Goose increased with
the appearance of her first grandchild !;
and poor Mr.. Fleet, half distracted
with her endless nursery ditties, finding
other means to fail, tried ridicule, and
printed book with the title of "Moth-
er Goose's Melodies for Children; or,
Songs for the Nursery"
AGE OF Cows IN RELATION TO THE
YIELD OF M1LK.-The age of COWS has
great influence on their yield of milk.
After her first calf, a COW does not give
as much as after her. second or third.
At the fifth or sixth calf, the average
yield begins to decrease steadily. It
may be seen from this that one ought on
" exceptionally to have older COWS than
8 or 9years, as after these yeats the
milking qualities are generally on a
rapid decline, and, beside, the COWS are
harder to fatten. As young animals
produce more from the same quantity
of food because their assimilation is
better, there is every reason for not
keeping the COWS too long. A good
dairy COW is (on the continent) expect
ed to yield not less than 1900 quarts
of milk year; very good one, 1890
to $500 quarts; but higher numbers
are not rare in almost all Breeds

full of salt, and it will help it very much
A little ginger put into sausage meat
improves the favor. In icing cakes dip
the knife into cold water. In boiling
meat for soup, use cold water to extract
the juices. If the meat is wanted for
itself alone, plunge it into the boiling
water at once. You can get bottle OF
barrel of oil off any carpet or wooden
stuff by applying buckwheat plentiful
~. Never put water to such grease
spot, nor liquid of any kind. Broil
steak without sailing. Salt draws the
juices in cooking; it, is desirable to
keep these if possible. Cook over a
hot fire, turning frequently, soaring
both sides; place on a platter, salt and
pepper to taste. Beef having tenden-
cy to be tough can be made very palat-
able by stewing gently for two hours
with salt and pepper, taking about q
pint of the liquor when half done, and
letting the rest boil into the meat.
Brown the meat in the pot. After tax
ing up, make gravy of the pint of
liquor saved. A small piece Of char
coal in the pot with boiling cabbage re-
moves the smell. Clean oilclothes
with milk and water; a brush and soap
will ruin them. Tumblers that have
milk in them, should never be put in
hot water. A spoonful of stewed toma-
toes in the gravy of either roasted or
fried meats is an improvement. The
skin of boiled egg Is the most effica-
-cious remedy that can be applied to a
boil. Peel it carefully, wet and apply
to the part affected, It will draw out
the matter and relieve the soreness in a
few hours.
MAN AND HIS PRESENT CosTUME.-
Sight and hearing are the two senses
which the natural man, in common with
the lower animals, possesses in great
perfection, and it is evident that, in adj
dition to it's usefulness to him as mere
animal, the eye affords him interest and
delight long before his other senses be-
come intellectually developed. In the
very earliest stages of his existence we
have proof in scratched outlines of nj
mails that he observes with curiosity and
pleasure the varieties of animal. form
which surround him. In his progress
toward modern civilization he reioices
in beautiful combinations of line and
gorgeous arrangements of color. All
through the long ages till the seven
tenth century this is distinctly visi-
bile, but growing fainter from the six
teenth, and it is when, modern discov-
cries and appliances in the nineteenth
have placed almost unlimited means in
his power of gratifying this instinct
that it disappears altogether. Costume

be ornamented, or are ornamented with
