Household Hints.


As we have said before somewhere, the
enterprising editor who endeavors to run a
"household department" without the aid of a
later One day last week the proprietor of
The Cloverdale Cleanup was startled by a
whole tornado Of raps on his sanctum door,
on the other side of which he presently be
held small mob of matrons of the vicinity,
each of whom bore a expression of indig-
nant determination on her face, and dish
or pan under her arm.
Are you the-the-party who said, in
last weeks paper, that salad dressing could
be improved by an ounce of cayenne and
some powdered borax ?" said one.
"I-I-suppose So" admitted the editor.
"Oh, you are, eh !" said the woman dis
playing a sticky green compound. "Well,
perhaps you'd like to finish this lot, l have
feur children at home at the point of death
from it, now"
"Are you the miserable liar who stated
that the only way to clean seslskin was to
boil it in milk Look at that screamed
another, holding up what appeared to be
drowned puppy.
r-ahem-really- mumbled the
wretched journalist, ''the printer must have
mixed it up with the broken chiua item.
And didn't you print a receipt saying
that few pinches of copperas gave rich
dark color to sponge cakee My husband
has been throwing up steadily since day
before yesterday morning !" sobbed another,
exhibiting what appeared to be hunk of
stone coal.
"Yes" put in another irate dame holding
up tattered basque land you said that
vitriol would take ink stains out of velvet
You disgusting old pirate"
IL think it must have been my assist
ant, Clipenl,' stammered the editor. Il
don't think | wrote anything for that issue
except leader on our 'Accursed Monopo-
lies"
That is too thin," shrieked another de-
vastated female, putting up green vail and
displaying a parboiled countenance. Didn't
you advise me down at the market yester-
day to cut out your infallible oriental receipt
for removing freckles? 1t took 'em out,
and the skin with EN-; and the doctor say 5
it is two to one | never see out of that ey e
again. There, you're welcome to what S
left !"
And the half scalped victim broke bot
tie on his nose, while the rest hammered
him over the head with assorted slabs of
indigestion built according to the Cleanups
specifications, rammed unrisen dough down
his mouth and poured coal tar, arsenic
and sulphur remedy for chicken pip down
the back Of his neck.
When they we're gone the moulder of
public opinion picked himself up, hunted
for the foreman's mallet smashed the stereo-
typed Household Hints" into forty thou

The Esquimsux Dog.
THR WONDERFUL ENDURANCE OF THESE
SMALL ANIMALS.

| THB WONDERFUL ENDURANCE OF THESE
SMALL ANIMALS.
| The Esquimaux dogs of Hudson's Bay
and contiguous territory, says Lieut. Schwat-
ka in his account of his journey in the
northern regions, do not resemble those of
Greenland such as are pictured in books on
the Arctic countries, the Hudson's Bay dogs
being superior in endurance and pluck
When food is plentiful the dogs are fed
every other day when travelling but, if liv-
ing in camp, once in ten days or twelve days
is considered enough and often twenty days
will intervene between meals. Not but that
they pick up trife now and then, by raid
on the store-hoase, the bag of blubber for
the lamps or the sealskin clothing.
They know that the severest penalty will
be received Tor thelr uGence, but 10 them
the pleasure of theft and the bliss of greas-
ing their stomachs with a slice of blubber
outweighs every other consideration. They
are terribly beaten with the ip-er-ow-ter, or
dog whip, which cuts a piece of flesh out at
every blow The handle of the whip is
made Of wood, and is about Is inches long,
with lash made of sealskin, from IS to 30
feet in length. When used. the portion of
the whip near the handle strikes the ground
first, and then the long sealskin thong un-
winds, gaining rapidity and strength as the
end ls reached, and this strikes with such
force as to make the snow fly, with a report
like pistol. 1t is not hasty implement,
for 1t requires time to get in position to
| swing the long lash. The driver sits upon
the hind part Of the sled or runs alongside,
the long lash Of the whip-trailing behind
him on the snow, all ready for delivering
punishment. The first effect of the whip is
to retard the sled. The dog that is struck
invariably draws back and pitches upon his
neghbor, and for a while there is a row that
threatens the sled with stoppage The
driver usually takes advantage of this occa.-
sion to administer a general chastisement,
each dog receiving share whether guilty of
insubordination or not The Esquimaux
theory is that if not deserving of the whip
this time he would be before long, and so
might as well receive it now as any time.
The dogs are attached to the sled BY har-
ness made of sealskin. One loop passes
around the neck, while each leg is lifted
through loop, all three loops Joining over
the back and fastened to long line These
lines are Of different @engths, so as to allow
the dogs to pull to greater advantage than
if the traces were all the same length, caus-
ing the dogs to spread out like fan. At
every few miles the traces have to be un-
loosened and extricated from the most
abominable tangle that it is possible to con-
ceive. The leader Of the team is dog Sc
lected for his Intelligence, and you will al
ways see him working, with head down, as
if the entire load was being drawn by him.
With light sled, and from nine to fifteen
dogs, the natives are able to make journey
of about 100 miles day They will drag
sled, with about 800 pounds of a load, at
the rate of three or four miles an hour.

Stories of Tom CorMin.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
telling some stories of Tom Corwin, relates
the following to Illustrate his manner OF
handling troublesome questioner: He
had cnly got well started in his speech at a
certain place, when some one began to ply
questions. For time they were answered
with care, notwithstanding the cries that
were made of put him out"' etc. NO
don't put him out said the orator. Il am
glad to answer questions. But they came
thicker and faster, and there seemed to be
no likelihood of cessation. Finally Corwin
said, in his confidential tone:
"Now, my dear old friend, | wish YOU
would not ak any more questions at pres
ent-tor you see I'm in a great hurry.
have a good many people to talk to and
they want to hear what have to say But
| know where you live and if YOU will keep
still now, when the campaign is over | will
remember You, and come and stay all night
with you, and we will sleep together and
talk it all over
The love which he cherished for his three
daughters was so intense that it partook OF
the form OF jealousy when they began to be
courted. At the marriage of his oldest
daughter, Eva, Corwin manifested so much
feeIing that the occasion partook more of
the aspect of funeral than of a wedding.
During the ceremony he shed tears, and at
the supper, after a prolonged and solemn
silence, he suddenly broke out:
'Now | want it distinctly understood that
this thing is never going to happen again in
this house. There will never be another
wedding here. | will get nigger six feet
toll opI hin, ,1l, l,D,, 4
post him at the front door, and instruct him
to knock any young man in the head who
comes to see my daughters
General Garfield relates that, a little be-
fore Corwin's death, when he returned to
Washington from flying visit to Lebanon
to attend the marriage of his Youngest
daughter, he referred to this marriage Of
Eva, and said that he shut himself up in his
room for three or four days before it oc-
Cured, and could not be persuaded to take
any part in the preparations, and only on
the most earnest solicitation did he come
down to witness the ceremony. He said :
81 could not endure the thought Of my
daughter loving another man better than
me; and yet she married a noble fellow.
And now the old feeling has returned.
tell you had horrible time of it until the
ceremony was over"
When Corwin's only son, DR.. William II.
Corwin, was attending college, his teachers
complained that he sat up too late nights,
and they were afraid he would injure himself
with over mental exertion. The statesman
wrote on this occasion as follows: "My
Son: | am informed that you are injuring
your health by study. Very few young men
noWdays are likely to be injured in this way :
and all | have to say to you is, that, should
you kill yourself by study, it would give me
great pleasure to attend your funeral"

The Three Kings.
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.

BY HENRY W. LONGFELLow.
Three Kings came riding from far away,
Melcboir and Ga>per and Bsltasar
Three wise Men out OF the East were they.
And they travelled by night snd they slept by
For their guide was beautiful, wonderful
star.
The star was so beautiful. large and clear,
That all the other stars of the sky
Became a white mist in the atmosphere,
And by this they knew that the coming was
near
ofthe Prince foretold in the prophecy.
Three ca>keis they bore on their saddIe-bOws
Three caskets OF gold with golden keys
Their robes were of crimson silk with rows
OF bells and psmegranates and furbelows,
Their turbans like blos>oming slmond-trees.
And so the Three Kings de into the West.
Through the dusk of night, over hill and
dell.
And sometimes they nodded with beard on
breast.
And sometimes talked, as they paused to rest
With the people they met at some waysiie
well.
''Of the child that is born" said Balt-sar,
GOOD people. pray you. tell Us he news !;
For We in the East have seen his star,
And have ridden fast. and have rid len far,
TO find aud worship the King OF the jews"
And the people answered. "You ask in vain :;
We know of no king but HerOd the Grcit "
They thought the Wise Men were men insane,
As they spurred their horses across the plain,
Like riders IN haste, and who cannot wait.
And when they came to Jerusalem,
Herod the Great, who had he ard this thing,
Sent for the Wise Men and questioned them :;
And s1id. "Cio down into Bethlehem.
Aud bring me tIdng> OF this new king.
So they rode away and the star stood still,
The only one in the gray "f morn
Yes, it stopped it stood still Of its own free
will
Right over Bethlehem on the hill,
The city of David, where Christ was born.
And the Three King. rode through the gate
and the guard.
Through the silent street, till their horses
turned
And neighed as they entered the great inu-
ysrd;
But the windows were closed, aud the doors
Were barred,
And only a light in the stable burned
And Graded there in the scented hay.
In the air made sweet by the breath OF kline
The little child in the manger lay,
The chlld that would be king one day
vi hlnSlom II u human Dut ulN me.
His mother Mary of Nazareth
Sal watching beside his place of rest,
Watching the even flOw of his breath.
For the JOY Of lite and the terror of death
Were mingled together in her breast.
They laid their offerings at his feet:
The gold was their tribute 10 a King,
The frankncense. with it, Odor sweet,
Wa for the Priest. the Paracetr.
The myrrh for the body's buryng
And the mother wondered and bowed her
head
And sat As still a a statue Of stone:
Her heart was troubled yet cOmfOrted,
Remembering what the Angci had >aid
CIiQie>, INteu anu ~
Then the Kings rode out of the city gate,
With clatter of hoOfs in proud array
But they went not back to Herod the Great
For they knew his malice and feared his hale,
And returned TO their homes by another
way.

MOSQUITOES FOR Two.-A traveller on

MOSQUITOES FOR Two.-A traveller on
a Maryland boat tells the following story
A clergyman on his way home to Baltimore
from campmeeting, was detailing to them
some incidents of camp life. Among others
was that of an old couple who had supplied
themselves with a bottle of pennyroyal oil
with which to keep off the mosquitoes
They extinguished their light and retired, for
getting their antidote. The mosquitoes were
very bad, and after standing it as long as
they could, the old lady got up and got a
well-flled ink bottle in steadof the oil, and
gave the old gentleman a thorough lubricat-
ing with the liquid, face, hands and feet
then she annointed herself in like manner
They again essayed to court the drowsy
god, but could only get an occasional nap
Finally the old lady got up and struck a
light. Giving a glance at the bed she had
just left, she beheld, to her horror, "cul-
lud pusson," stretched in the place of hel
spouse. She quietly got the poker and
nearly beat the old fellows brains out be.
