Household Hints.

Rusty black italian Grape may be re-
stored by dipping in skinned milk and
water, with bit of fine glue dissolved
in it, and made scalding hot. 1t should
be clapped and pulled dry, like muslin.
Beeswax and salt will make rusty flat
irons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie
lump of wax in a rag, and keep it for
that purpose. When the irons are hot.
rub them first with q wax rag, then
scour with paper or cloth sprinkled
with salt.
Beef having tendency to be tough
can be made very palatable by stewing
gently for two hours with pepper and
salt, taking out about a pint of liquol
when half done, aud letting the rest
boil into the meat Make q gravy of the
pint of liquor saved.
Half pound of borax will drive the
cockroaches out of the house. A large
handful of it put in ten gallons of water
saves ten per cent. of soap. 1t is an eX.
cellent dentrifice, and the best thing fol
cleaning the scalp.
To remove ink stains from printed
books, procure cents worth of oxalic
acid, which dissolve in a small quantity
of warm water; then slightly wet the
stain with it, when it will disappear
leaving the leaf uniniured. The oxalic
acid must be handled carefully, as it i,
q deadly poison.

4 Trains Frightful Position.

The most hair-rising episode that ever
happened to New Mexican mountain
railway train fell to the lot of Conduc OF
Blessingham, Thursday afternoon at
three o'clock, on the west slope of
Glorietta Summit. The train COM
prised thirty loads, and as it was entirely
upon the descent, Jack Brown, the
engineer, threw on the water brake, but
found that it was broken and would not
work. The train gained momentum to
such frightful extent that the switch
cables and books lying on the pilot base
in front were hurled from their places
into the air, breaking one of the loco
motives guard rails. Brown called for
brakes, but the train men had already
set every one, and realized that the
train was beyond their control. Seeing
that nothing could be done to stop the
mad course the train was running,
Brown jumped from the cab while
going at the rate of sixty miles an hour,
landing seventy-two feet distant, actual
measurement. Blessingham, who was
on the caboose with Pawnee Charley and
wife as passengers, fearing that the train
was going to destruction, cut his way
car loose, and checked it with the
brakes, while the train continued its
velocity down the long grade. The
fireman stood at his post like hero,
and while the engine was plunging
down the fight at giddy speed, he
crawled out on the footboard and poked
sand through the sand-box, thinking
that it might assist the wheels in get
ting grip upon the rails. As the train
sped around Material curve, which is
"short and Steep" the velocity was SO
great that that the locomotive ran on
one rail, and overbalanced so greatly
that it came within an ace OF losing its
equilibrium. The brakemen on deck
were obliged to lie flat and cling to the
running boards for safety. For six
miles those badly frightened men stuck
to the ship and faced the horrors of
death. Below Conocite is a natural
basin, with three miles of level track,
and it was on this stretch the runaway
train was mastered and stopped. Some
of the cars We're laden with iron for the
front, but they were unloaded before
the train stopped by the material being
hurled in all directions. Just how the
train held to the rails as well as it did
is mystery the doctors must solve
we can't.-Los Vegas (N NJ Optic.

Three Popular Songs.

"Hail Columbia song was
written in 1913 by Judge Hopkinson,
Ii. D., at 1872 Spruce street, Philadel-
phia, to the well-known tune of the
" Presidents March," which was either
composed by Roth or Roat Philip p, at
% Grown street, Philadelphia, between
1791-1799, or by Phyla, of Philadelphia,
whose Oldest son assisted in the per-
lormance at Trenton when Washington
was inaugurated. The descendants Of
Hopkinson hold Washington's letter of
acknowledgement.
A young man whose benefit was to
take place ut the Philadelphia
thcater, being greatly discouraged by
his prospects, called on Hopkinson
for patriotic song one Saturday after
noon to increase his chance Of success.
BY Sunday afternoon it was ready; on
Monday morning it was advertised to
be sung that evening. It's success was
then so great that it was repeated more
than once every night and the audience
joined in the chorus. War with France
was then considered inevitable. The
song was sung by crowds in the
streets at night, both parties and
members of Congress taking part,
rs the words suited either.
"The Red, White and Blue This
song was written aud composed by
Thomas ABeckt, Sr,, and published by
4. Osborn, Third street, above Walnut,
Philadelphia Cbut on his failure the
plates went to Benteen, of Bal imore),
under the title of columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean" 1t was written for
David 7. Shaw, OF Philadelphia, to sing
at a Philadelphia concert. He pub
lished it as his own work, and it was so
copyrighted in 1913, by George Willy,
of Philadelphia. As " Britannia, the
Pride of the Ocean it was sung night
ly in London, and published without
any name, by T. Williams, Cheap
side. The name Nelson, in the last
verse, was substituted for Washington,
and in 1917 it was claimed as an
English composition. The author, T.
A'Beckt, was, however, English by
birth, and this accounts for the order,
"red, white and blue" being adopted.
To be distinctively American, the order
should be blue, red and white, This
song was extremely popular in England
during the Crimean war, and in America
during the late civil war.
"My Country it's of Thee" as 9 God
Save the King" was first sung by Henry
Carey, at public dinner, to celebrate
the taking of Portobello by Admiral
Vernon November ., 1880. The words
and music first appeared in Harmonic
Anglia" 1742 or 1743. It became pop
ular as loyal song during the Scottish
rebellion in 1745. The Pretender was
proclaimed at Edinburg, September 10,
and the song was sung at Drury Lane,
September %, harmonized by Dr.. Arne.
DR.. Burney wrote the harmonies for
Covent Garden theater.
This song soon crossed the channel,
and was used as Danish national air,
at Berlin as Volkslied, and is now the
Prussian and German national anthem.
The words are said to be culled from
many sources, and the music also. The
melody which was once claimed for Carey
and Lully,is similar, in technical points,
to the Scotch carol, Remember, Oh
Thou Man !" and the song Franklin is
fed awayw DR.. John Bull also wrote q
similar theme, in his MS. sketches,
page ninety-eight, in 1619.-&. Nich

Tact.

People cannot help being born with
out tact, any more than they can help
having no ear for music; but there are
occasions when it is almost impossible
to be charitable to tactless person
Yet people who have no tact deserve
pity. They are almost always doing or
saying something to get themselves into
disgrace, or which does them an injury.
They make enemies where they desire
friends, and get a reputation for i'll
nature which they do not deserve.
They are also constantly doing other
people harm, treading on metaphorieal
corns, opening the cupboards where
family skeletons are Kept, angering
people, shaming people, saying and
doing the most awkward things and
apologizing for them with a still more
terrible bluntness. Ii there is one
social boon more to be desired than
another, it is tact, for without tact the
career of the richest and most beautiful
is often utterly ruined

They Lost Further Interest,

There is nice little game in vogue
among the young folks in this vicinity
known as the Hutchinson family"
The game consists in beguiling some
unsuspecting person into q room into
which the whole family" is stationed
the members of which initiate in word
and action everything done by the vic
tim, and the amount of amusement that
can be extracted from nervous young
man of bashful procliyities can easily
be imagined. At a sociable gathering
held in this village a short time ago,
a young newspaper man was introduced
into the room, and the Hutchinson
family" began its imitation to the in,
tense delight OF everybody present-ex,

young man great while to appreciate
the situation, and then he calmly
walked to the center of the room ant

gled one of the attendants, whom Ali
camousa rescued. The lion aitclward
showed symptoms OF resentment at the
severe punishment the trainer was
obliged to intlict upon him at that time
and several times afterward. One Sat
urday afternoon there was q great at
tendance, and the lion-tamer gave two
performances. The first was concluded
in safety, but rs Alicamousa made his
second entry into the den the large lion
sprang at him and had TO be beaten
back. While proceeding across the
crge the lion-tameIunfortunately lifted
his eyes from those Of the lion, which
was upon him Immediately, amid
the shrieks of the immense crowd of
spectators. Alicamousa was clawed on
both sides OF the face, struck to the
ground, and bitten in the arm. The
red-hot irons were Mt once thrust be-
tween the bars, and the man wriggled
like an eel from beneath the lion, the
blood streaming down his face and
shoulder, He discharged his revolver
three times in the lions mouth, and,
gaining his feet, placed his back
against the side of the cage and at
tackled the animal with his loaded whip,
hitting it repeatedly between the eyes
until it was almost stunned. The en-
counter had been watched with breath
less anxiety, but as the lion-tamer left
the den the crowd gave vent to their
excited feelings by enthusiastically
cheering him. He was not seriously
injured.

"Of the Earth, Earthly."i

am very patient, knowing
All is for the best;
Yet the summer light is clearost
Ere the soul departs.
Nature seems to draw the nearest
Unto dying hearts.
Have they told you am leaving
Earthly things behind?
Love, perhaps, but not decciving,
Friendship proved unkind;
Yet the sunshine slowly stealing
Down the soft green slope,
Brings back all the trustful feeling,
All the dreams of hope.
Have they told you I am hasting
To fairer home?
Yes, but here are roses wasting,
Blossoms white as foai'
Here are sun-gilt vine leaves wreathing
Round our cottage door;
Here are solemn fir trees breathing

That you love me still.
