Two little boys were burned to death in
Richland County, D. I. 1t appears that a
Mr.. Miller, with his family of -four or five

Ter slept in the granary. During the night
the house was burned and with it two lit

Bidwell L Stevens writes from North

doctrine:" The Monroe doctrine, Bidwell,
simply and explicitly declares that no for.
eign nation shall come here and slide down
our cellar door; that England and France
shall not hang Oh ou- front gate to do their
counting; that they can't bring ever their
syrup pots and elder sprouts and make
sugar i'll our maple grove; that Germany
and Austria cant spot no bee.tree in our
woous; mat Italy can't cut her fire wood
out of our hedge rows; that Russia can't
spank her neighbors children with our
butter paddle. The Monroe doctrine SIM
ply means that We are the bull of the woods
between the two oceans, and that the man
who joins farms with US GA either side had
better not move the boundary fence until
he talks to US about it, and that lie can't
sub let a patch of his farm to anybody
until We are satisfied that the new tenant

Did IL Pay.--A True Story.

ASricr turalist.
Thirty-eight years ago, two broth
els settled on adjoining farms with
equal advantages as to soil, markets,
capital, etc.
One of them subscribed for the
American Agriculturalist, and now and
then bought book or two about bis
own business-the whole coStin; an
average of Sc year. His boys read
and thought about their work, became
interested in and respected it, and
were happy in their toll, because they
had something to think about. They
grew up intelligent, and settled as good,
prosperous farmers, respected and in
tluential. The other brother-partly
influenced by an economical wife,
couldn't afford papers and books. He
could afford 6 cents day, Or $50
year for tobacco, beer, etc. His boys
worked sullenly day by day, and SKY
larked' at night; they despised and
hated their work, which for them was
only exercising brutal force, with little
mind applied. When old enough to
escape parental restraint, they quit the
farm, one for this, and another for that.
and none of them have ever amounted
to anything. He is himself a sullen,
diSpirited man. Six dollars year or
even two dollars year would have
made wonderful difference-would
have made difference in the whole
course of their lives. Would it have
paid! Reader choose the better way.
Get your neighbors to join you, and
secure some books for the use of all, or
in some way put one or more books
about their business, into the hands of
your sons, from time to time, and read
and talk to them about their business.
1t will be the best investment you can
make for them.

To KEEP SnK.-Silk articles
should not be kept folded in white
paper, as the chloride of lime used
in bleaching the paper will probably
impair the color of silk. Brown or
blue paper 10 better the yeIlowish,
smooth India paper is best of all.
Silks intended for dress should not,be
sept long in the house before they
are made up. as lying in the folds
will have tendency 10 impair its
durability by causing it to cut OF
split, particularly il the silk has been
thickened by gum. Thread lace wells
are very easily cut. But dresses Of
velvet should not be laid by with any
weight above them; if the nap of
thin velvet is laid down, it is not
possible to raise it up again. Hard
silk should never be wrinkled, be.
cause the thread is easily broken 10
the crease, and it never can be rect.
fed. The way to take wrinkles out
of silk scarfs and handkercheifs is to
moisten the surface evenly with
sponge and some weak glae, land pin
the silk with some toilet pins on
mattress or feather bed, taking pains
to draw out the silk as tight as pos.
sible. When dry, the wrinkles will
have disappeared. The reason OF
this is obvious to.every person. Some
silk articles should be rnoistened with
weak glue or gum water, and the
wrinkles moned out by hot fiat iron
on the wrong side.
