Wash the face with thick suds, from glycer-

PoTTED BEEF.-Take four pounds of
good lean beef, cut it up well and put over
it tablespoonful of saltpetre, a table
spoonful of salt and tablespoonful of
sugar. Let this pickle remain on the meat
for twenty-four hours. Then put the meat
in jar, cover the top with snet off the meat,
cover it closely, and put it in the oven to
bake for three or more hours; pour off the
gravy, which may serve for many purposes
take the meat and pound it well in mortar;
then add three quarters of pound of fresh
butter, a little cayenne or other pepper (not
too much), taste and see if there is sufficient
salt. Wait until it is quite cold before
pressing it into pots. Cover it over with
melted suet.

water, in which are Dissolved to dmchms of

place from any deleterious emanations; and
cloths dipped in the solution and wrung out

or furniture is perfectly harmless.

Excerpts from Authors.

Seneca: The dwarf is a dwarf, though
on a hill; the Colossus preserves it's size in
valley.
Mrs. Shelley: The different accidents of
life are not so changeable as the feelings of
human nature.
Cicero: 1t happens, know not how, that
whenever anything is wrong, we see it much
sooner in other persons than in ourselves.
George Berkeley: Thought is that which,
we are told, distinguished man from beast,
and freedom of thought makes as great a
difference between man and man.
Charlotte Bronte: There is no folly SO
besotted that the idiotic rivalries of society,
the prurience, the rashness, the blindness
of youth will not hurry man to its commits
sion.
Mrs Alexander: Circumstances over
which we have no control " is polite phrase,
and ready for many occasions, yet contain

Circumstance, inanimate yet iron despot,
before which the living spirit must bend
and break.
Ouida: 1t is a terrible thing to corrupt a
woman; aye, 80 it is, but it is more terri
BILE thing when nature has made woman
SO corrupt that no fiend, if there were one,
could teach her aught of evil.

time he knows it is bringing to him increas-
ed profit for all his care and labor q
Fattening stock will thrive most when fed
only such quantity as will be eaten readily
with good appetite; any excess of feed lay
ing before them will destroy the relish,
make the animals dainty, and lessen the
quantity they will consume. A variety is
desirable; one feed daily should be some
esculent, as potatoes, turnips, or beets, not
so much for the food element they contain
as to give tone tothe appetite and digestion.
Feed and water should be given at regular
times, and by one feeder, who will, if
proper hand, soon learn what each animal
requires, and will feed no more or less An
animal fed either for fattening or for store
will do better on rather short feeding than
on surplus. Farm teams that are not
worked for some months during winter will
do better if turned into an open yard where
there is good shelter against storms, than
when kept in stable and fed highly. Exer-
else and a change of feed is promotive of
health, and when thus wintered on coarse
feed till about four weeks before spring
work begins-when they should be taken in
and well fed, getting them in condition for
work-they will be in better health and
more active in limb and spirit than when
kept confined in stables, and at considera-
BILE less expense and care. With all farm
stock the best economy is always found in
full and liberal care and feeding to pro-
mote growth and full Development Y.

Patriotic Record of a Soldier.

from the Lewiston, ME- Journal
Gen. William Newell died in Durham,
his native town, Jan. 2 1881, aged 81 years.
He had held many responsible offices, such
as. Selectman, Treasurer, Collector and
Representative in our Legislature. As q
military man, Gen. Newell has but few
equals, having held every office from En-
sign to General. Especially on horseback
he made splendid appearance, as many of
our citizens can testify, as they saw him as
Marshal at our country fairs. At the break
ing out of the rebellion his patriotism was
so great that, although he was more than go
years old, he enlisted as private soldier.
For fear his gray hairs would be bar to his
enlisting he had his hair and beard careful
ly colored for the occasion, and when asked
by the recruiting officer if he was not more
than as, he replied, "a leetle." But when
his true age was known, and the high rank
he had heldas military man, he was taken
from the ranks and placed in the hospitals
to care for the sick. In that position his
noble qualities were brought into requisi-
ton, and many sick and wounded Union
soldier will remember his kindness and
self sacrificing spirit in the days Of their
suffering and peril.

Winning a Wife Mt Cards.
m the RethIehem Pa Times

When Hazelton was first settled and
laid out as the town of the middle coal field,
number of young men used to congregate
at some of the shanties at Crystal Ridge and
play cards for such stakes as railroa DIS,
mines, mills, horses and pretty women.
On one occasion the boarders were playing
forty-fve for the servant girl, blooming
maid whose name was Biddy MCGEE. Bid
dy was of course unconscioI of the fact that
her fate hung on pack of cards, and
was at the time washing dishes in the house,
when loud guffaw caused her to run in
the shanty. 4Phat's the matter wild yees

Ginnis jumped to his feet and exclaimed:

was wedding, and Charlie and his wife,

in the shanty of Crystal Ridge twenty-six

Ink as Congressman's Hair Tonic.

From the Washington Star, Jan. %.
A singular accident, the effects of which
have not yet entirely disappeared, occurred
to member of the House of Representa-
tives just before the holiday recess. He
had been in the habit of using hair tonic
before retiring to bed, cooling his powerful
intellect thereby and inducing sleep. One
night he forgot it, put out the light, and
laid himself down to sleep; but, becoming
restless, he remembered the tonic, and
reaching out his hand in the darkness, and
thinking he knew just where it was, seized
a bottle and poured plentiful supply on his
head. rubbingi in vigorously with his hands.
He fell asleep, and did not know until he
saw his discolored hands in the morning
that he had used ink instead of the hair
wash. This led him to look in the mirror,
and he was shocked to see the spectacle he
presented, with ink stained brow, dyed hair,
and cheeks and throat on which the we'll
nigh ineradicable fluid had dripped. He
had nearly rubbed all the hair and skin off
his head and face since, but still traces of
the black deluge remain. His visit home
during the holidays was principally spent
in testing the merits of different ink eradi-

BeechCr on the Parallels.

From the New York Times.
Henry Ward Beecher talked about the
parallels in the twenty fifth chapter of
Matthew in his Plymouth Church sermon
Sunday morning, with special reference to
the parable of the last judgment. AS for
the parable of the wise and foolish virgins,
he said no one supposed any such thing ever
took place. The parable simply conveyed
to human souls the necessity of spiritual
preparation for the coming of the Lord
The parable of man travelling into far
country and leaving his property with his
servants had fidelity for its marrow Some
persons held that the parable of the final
judgment was historic picture of what
was to happen at the last day. 1t was only
parable. 1t was simply a magnificent
dramatic representation of period of ad-
justment. 1t wasa tribunal of adjudgment
The simple meaning of the whole parable
was that those who were adjudged blessed
were those who had true. sympathetic
benevolence for mankind, and those who
were condemned were those who had hearts
of stone in the midst of a suffering world
and did not care. They took care Of them
selves and let everybody else go to the

The Novel Reading Mania.
From the International Review.


During the past five years there have been
circulated from the Boston Public Library
4,872, 595 volumes. OF these 1924, 93S
were Juveniles and fiction To this num-
Der should be added the stories contained in
the magazines and periodicals, and the very
considerable number Of novels not classi-
fed under fiction If the proper correc-
tions were made, I believe it would be
found that four millions, or four-ffths of
its popular circulation, was under rather
than over the number Of volumes of novels
and story books cireulsted by this library
alone in five years. It should be remem-
bered that even this does not represent the
whole number of readers, as each book
may be and often is, read by more than one
in the same family or house.. This is the
work Of one library alone, and one which,
from the beginning, has sought the public
confidence and support, on the ground that
the circulation Of light literature was not to
be its principal work. What the other pub

Fashion Notes.

Some odd styles are said to be in prepara-
ton for simple muslin and wool dresses for
the spring and summer. Thus there are
waists contrived without shoulder seams,
probably by being cut bias on the shoulders,
and still others have the entire sleeve cut
in one piece with the waist of the dress, the
only seam of the sleeve being on the inside
of the arm. The seam down the middle of
the front is also bias, and there is bunch
of shirring each side of this seam at the
waist line. SHRED yokes and basques
that are shirred all over, were worn years
ago, and, it is said, will be revived for thin
lawns, and grenadines of next season.
1t is difficult for any one to understand
how woman can be happy whose sealskin
sacque has been heightened by sewing on
it piece of fur. She knows that her sacque
is short, and everybody knows it is short,
and she knows that everybody knows it land
everybody knows that she knows that ev-
erybody knows it, and she knows that ev-
erybody knows that she knows that every
body knows it, and everybody knows that
she knows that everybody knows that she
knows that everybody knows that she knows
it.-Puck
Very wide, handsome ribbons are used
for bonnets. Some strings are lined with
velvet and silk or satin and plush; others
are shot with three or more colors. The
trimmings of very simple bonnets consist
of bows of the rich ribbons and strings to
match.
In the February number of the magazine
Demorest says: Young ladies have done a
very sensible thing this winter in adopting
the short dress largely for dancing purposes,
even for the most elegant balls, and enjoy
them much more in consequence. White
seems to be the livery for ball and evening
dresses this season and some of them are
distinguished by remarkable beauty and
elegance"
Paintings on hat brims are the newest
freaks of fashion across the Channel. so
says an English journal. The Comtesse
de Paris was the first to have her coat Of
arms painted on her bonnet and strings, and
now several of the huge Velasquez- shaped
black felt hats are elaborately ornamented
with flowers, buds and butterflies, painted
by some of the best Partisan artists.
For mid-winter costumes Jennie June
suggests combination of silk plush with
plain or ribbed cashmere, the latter being
the newest, finest, as well as the most ex-
pensive. The costume should consist of
trimmed skirt attached to bodice of
French twill, plush jacket, trimmed with
large pearl buttons, and cap and muff of
plush to match, with additional finish of
cord and satin and feathers.

eyes,

rom Temple Bar.
They stood above the world,
In world apart
And she dropped her happy eyes,
And stilled the throbbing pulses
Of her happy heart,
And the moonlight fell above her,
Her secret to discover,
And the moonbeams kissed he
a. AS though no human lover
Had laid his kisses there.
Look up brown eyes," he said
v "And answer mine,
Lift up those silken fringes,
That hide happy light,
Almost divine"
The Jealous moonlight drifted
To the finger half uplifted,
Where shone the opal ring
Where the colors danced and shifted
On the pretty changeful thing.
Just the old, old story,
Of light and shade;
Love like the opal tender,
Like it, may be vary
May be to fade.
Just the old, tender story,
Just glimpse of morning glory,
In an earthly paradise,
With q shadowy reflection
In a pair of sweet brown eyes.
Brown eyes man might well
Be proud to win,
Open, to hold his image,
Shut, under silken lashes,
Only to shut him in.
Oh, glad eyes look together,
For ife's dark stormy weather,
Grows to fairer thing,
When Young eyes look upon it
Through slender wedding ring.

President Mitchell has returned to Mil
waukee from New York, and says that the
company will push its extensions to the ut
most when the weather modifes The pur-
pose of the management of the great corpo-
ration was to build 100 miles of the Hast
ings Il Dakota division, to complete the
Iowa & Dakota division to the Missouri
river, and possibly to the Black Hills. Re-
garding the extension to the Black Hills he
was not positively certain. He stated also
that the company's lines in Iowa would be
extended. He could not make any esti-
mate of the amount the company would ex-
pend in making extensions of the road, but
said that it would be many thousands of
dollars. Speaking of the Northern Pacific
extension, he stated that the money was in
hand to begin work, but the contract for
building the road had not been made yet,
although it was pending. The settlement
of the point at which it was proposed to
cross the Wisconsin Central, he said, had
not been perfected, but it would be either
at Ashland or some distance south.
The Winona and St. Peter Railroad has
had hard time with the snow this winter.
The freight blockade is simply stupendous.
Between 400 and 500 cars of fuel and mer-

week Thursday was the first time since the
oath of December that good solid freight

The present blockade is the worst snow that
has been experienced this winter on the
line from Tracy to Pierre, but every effort
possible is being put forth to get the train
through.

How Bennett Runs the Herald"
New York Letter.

Every night before James Gordon Ben
what part of the globe he may be, resume
of the contents Of the Herald for the next
day with the headings of the principal arti-
cles. If no answer is received from him by
2:3O a. m. it is supposed that he has no
suggestions to make, and the paper goes to
press. When he is in Europe these cable
dispatches often cost 800 for one nights
budget. Benefits instructions are never
to save money. All correspondents for the
Herald have the same instructions, the re-
suit being enormous bills for expenses.
The tendency is to send all news by tele-
graph, even letters not exactly of news
character, and before long it is predicted
that the Herald will be entirely made up of
Geographic dispatches outside of the city
news and advertisements.
