Beet Tea for Children.

The best way to make beet, tea for
children Is as follows: Soup meat with
out bone, from the shin or the neck =
Cut the meat into slices with very sharp
knife; to every pound Of meat use one
pint of cold water. Cut up the meat on
q dish, not on board, as the latter alb
serbs the juices wastefully. Have the
proper measure Of water beside you, in
proper soup basin or bowl, and as you
cut up the meat sprinkle it moderately
with salt. and throw 1t into the cold wa
ter. There let it remain for two hours !;
then put it al. into saucepan and set
it on the FIRE. Watch carefully the 6rst
rising, and skim aud secure this; 1t is
the very essence Of the beef being
thrown out Put it in clean bowl, and
let the beef 60 on boiling for ten min
utes, no longer then pour 1t through a
sieve to the fret skimmings. Stir it be-
fore using In older children than in
fants you can favor with onion and q
few cloves. So completely does this
way of making beef tea extract the
goodness, that q dog would not eat the
meat that is left.

Three Friendly Printers.


A great manv years ago, before the
present government printing Office Was
there we're three printers
engaged on government work, Who were
fast friends and constant associates -
They neither had or cared to have any
other associstes One day one OF the
three fell sick and died. Then the Quesf
ton was who would perform the usual
rites Of friendship for the dead. No
body outside took any interest in the.
matter, so that the two friends were
obligedto care for the body themselves.
Now, all these printers were fond of
liquor, and though they we're never To-
be seen in public barrooms, had nSny 3
bout BY themselves in quiet nook. r.
The two remaining friends then sat
M Eith the Corpse, and to while awsy
the time brought their pack u CSrds
and bottle for company. Euchrs was
the game, and they played for . stake,
the winner to drink on scoring the game,
and the loser 70 stay dry. The luck ram
onesided. Seated on either side Of the
corpse, with the coffin between them Tor
a table, the players played and recount!
|el the virtues OF their dead friend. But
the one Who never won Was getting more
and more thirsty. The cards had ron
steadily against him, and not drop Of
liquor had passed his lips Finally the
luck changed, and slapping the right
bower, down. ON the coffin, be exclsimed !,
There, now, it's my turn!' With :

And thus the years pass On.
When Tina woman gay maiden said,
"rll try to do right and not Be sfrsid;
Ill DO Christian, and give up thsjoys

But I'm only young girl now"
And SO the years pass on.
"Ah, mel" sighed . woman gray with years,
Her heart full Of cares. and doubts and fears,

Looking to Jesus for help from above;
And then you'll be happy now, :,

Michigan at the Worlds Fair i'm 1883.

To the Editor of the Post and Tribune.
My attention has several times of late
been called to the bill introduced by
Senator Shaw i'm the Legislature asking
for an appropriation by the state of $780,
600 to properly exhibit the resources of
the state of Michigan at the fair of 1888
in New York. Ihave been as king the
question. Will $4,000 be enough to
properly display our valuable resources?
In answer to this will call to mind
some facts wildly portrayed in 1876 at
the centennial exhibition, showing what
was done, and the comparison can easily
be drawn.
1t will be remembered that, to all for
eign countries, certain allOtments of
space were given in the different build
ings in which they were to exhibit the
resources of their countries. In these
spaces all of the products properly be-
longing to that department were eXhib-
tied. To the United States was given
similar allotment of space, but it was
utilized entirely in different way and
for different purpose. While foreign
countries exhibited their products COM
ing from different localities, there was
no rivalry or desire on the part of the
representatives of those countries to
show that any one part of their country
was superior to another, but the products
were shown as the resources of their
country. How was this different i'm the
United States allotment of space? 1t
was classified in the United States de-
partment, and any and all states were
given space to exhibit anything in that
class, and thus it was that no state could
properly and creditably exhibit the re-
source of their state, in comparison, ex-
cept in some speciality as Michigan did
in her educational, mineral, pOmolOgical
and forestry departments. ALI else was
as an individual, not state exhibit.
Could Michigan have exhibited as did
Kansas and Colorado, Delaware, Arkan-
