course burned quite rapidly, but the flames
were stayed before they reached any of

to shrubbery and perhaps few trees.

The fruit-canniug season is an impor.
tant period in the life Of the housekccper,
and as economy is always to be considered
| all housekeepers should know that sugar
boiled with an acid, il it be but three min
utes, will be converted into glucose, which
is the form Of sugar found in sweet ap-
pies. One pound OF sugar has as much
! sweetening power as two and a quarter
pounds Of glucose in other words, one
pound Of sugar stirred into tho fruit after
it Is cooked and while yc. warm, will
make the fruit as sweet Gs two and
quarter pounds added while the fruit is
boiling.
The structures oG the Norning Nelcg
upon the proprietors Of the Bedford
Springs Hotel in relation 10 the treatment
received by the c1cursionists who stopped
there on Friday and Saturday last are en-
tirely too severe. The gentlemen who run
the hotel do not deserve tho censuFe which
Is hcapcd upon ;hem by the Ne'es. Aside
from n slight misunderstanding in regard
to the terms upon which the party was to
be entertained there was no trouble. That
difficulty was soon adjusted, and we believe
that all who remained until Saturday
afternoon were satisfied with their enter
tainment.

A DumbfOunded Corporal.

It is related that during the American Revolution the corporal of little con- pany was giving orders to those under him relative to piece of timber, which they were endeavoring to raise up to the top of some military works they were repairing. The timber went up with difficulty and ou this account the voice of the little great man was often heard in regular vociferations of "Heave away There she goes Heave oh !' ..'
 An officer, not in military costume, was passing, and asked the non-com' missioned officer why he did not take hold and render little aid. The latter astonished, turned round, with all the pomp of an emperor, and said
 "Sir, am 8 corporal p
 "You are, are you?" replied the off cer. "I was not aware of that" and, taking off his hat and lowing, the officer said: "I ask your pardon, MT. Cor poral."
 He then dismounted, and lifted til the precipitation stood in drops on his forehead. When the work was finished turning to the corporal, he said "Mr Corporal, when you have another such job, and have not men enough, send fol your Commander-in-C Chief, and I will come and help you second time."
 The corporal was thunderstruck. II was none other than Washington who thus addressed him.

Keeping House.

It is just fun to keep house. All you have to do is to get up at five o'clock in the morning, clean out the stove, sif
 the ashes, build the fire, bring up the water, put on the tea-kettle, lug coal from the furthest end of the cellar, assist in preparing the quail and other delicacies for breakfast, swallow the meal and hurry off to business. At noon you bring up more coal and water, drive dozen or more nails for pictures, pokers, brackets, dishpans and other ornaments, move the stove about four inches to the left, mash your fingers with the hammer, eat your dinner and get back to work. After supper you must split wood, put it in the oven bring up more coal and water, SCOUT the neighborhood for something for breakfast, have jaw with the grocery man regarding the price of butter, look all over the house for burglars, lock all the doors, and by that time it is ten o'clock and time to go to bed. The balance of the day you have to yourself

Another Wise Employer,

A business man who has large iron mill in Pennsylvania heard 8 few months ago that his employees intended to found small library for their own use. Most employers would have regarded such an enterprise with condescending approval, mingled somewhat with uneasiuess as to whether they might not themselves be "struck" for subscription and as to how small 8 sum they might give without being called mean by their rivals. But what the employer of the men who wanted 8 library did was to himself select and purchase for his en- ployes library of five thousand volumes and provide proper apartments in which to take care of it. That library will prove a good business investment. Men worth keeping are not likely to go away from such a special benefit to them and their families. The better class of workmen elsewhere will be attracted to the mills that offer the use of large collection of books in addition to their weekly pay, while the mere tramps iu that particular department oi labor will find the mill not at all to their taste, for somehow drunkenness and strikes are quite infrequent in the neighborhood of good libraries. Many other employers would find profit iu investing money judiciously for the benefit of their own men.

BOlting His Food.

Sam Slick tells us the story of the Honorable Alden Gobble, Secretary of Legationin England, who was dyspeptic, so he goes to Abernethy, the great En- glish physician, for advice. "What's s the matter with you ?" says the Doctor. "Why," says Alden, 'sI presume have the dyspepsy." "Ah!'' says he, "I sea Yankee, swallowed more dol lars than you can digest" 'I am an American citizen," says Alden, with great dignity "I am Secretary to our Legation at the Court of St. James's. J s'The dickens you are r says Abernethy; "then you'll soon get rid of your dys- pepsy." "I don't see that inference, ' said Alden. "But tell you it does follow," says the Doctor, "for in the company you'll have to keep you'll have to eat like Christian" It was an ever lasting pity Alden contradicted him, fo1 he broke out like one moon-distracted mad: "I'll be hanged, says he, eff eve. I saw Yankee that didn't bolt his food whole like boa-constrictor. How can you expect to digest food that you neither take the trouble to dissect nor time to masticate? It's no wonder you lose your teeth, for you never use them
 nor your digestion, for you overload it nor your saliva, for you expend it upon the carpets. You Yankees load your stomachs as Devonshire man does his cart, as full as it can hold and as fast as he can pitch it in with fork, and drive off. And then you complain that such load is too heavy for you"

A Fatal Change of Mind.

It is reported from St. Petersburg that, on the day previous to the late Czar's assassination, the Grand Duke Constantine and his wife were dining with his Majesty. In the course of conversation during dinner the Emperor casually bserved that, in all probabil1- ty. he should not, as had been his wont, attend the Sunday morning parade, as he Twas suffering from slight cold. Upon this the Grand Duchess rejoined that his Majesty's absence would prove 8 serious disappointment to her son Dimitri, who had just purchased a handsome charger, which he had pro- posed to himself to show off to his uncle in the Riding School after parade during the following forenoon. "That being the case," said the Emperor, good naturedly, "I dare say I shall manage to attend the parade as usual," and he did so. The Grand Duchess, when ap- prised of his death, was for time com pletely overwhelmed by the conviction that, but for persuasions, her brother in-law would not have left his palace on that fatal Sunday morning.

Success.

How eagerly we listen to all that is told of successful men; what a mystery surrounds great firms why are they successful, what is their secret, what the sure road to prosperity;-how dis appointed we are to find there is no royal road, no short and easy way, and that success during long term of years, instead of being the result of brilliant schemes, is due to hard work, persistent and painstaking effort, vigilant attention to the little things, thoroughness in all. And how we'll it is illustrated by this glimpse of the inner, workings of great house
 Toward customers be invariably polite and attentive, whether they be agreeable or dlsagreeable, fair or unfair, considarate or exacting, without any re- gard to their class or condition, unless indeed you be the more obliging and serviceable to the humble and ignorant. The more self-forgetting you are and the more acceptable you are to whom soever your customer may be, the bet ter you are as 8 salesman; it is your highest duty to be agreeable to all. Show goods freely to all corners; be painstaking to match samples; be as seryiceable as you can be to all, whether buyers or not. At the outset you have to guess what grade she wants, high priced or low-priced; if you do not guess correctly be quick to discover your error and right yourself instantly It is impertinent to insist on showing goods not wanted; it is delicately polite to get to exactly what is wanted, adroit- ly and on the slightest hint. Do not try to change buyers choice, except to this extent: always use your knowl- edge of goods to her advantage if she wavers or indicates desire for your advice. What we want sold is the pre-. else article she wants to buy. In speak. ing of goods use correct names, say what they are made of if you have occasion if you do not know and cannot find out, say so sell nothing on misunderstood ing if you know it exists make no prom. ises that you have any doubt about the fulfllment of; and, having made prom. ise, do more than your own share towards it's fulfllment see that the next after you does his share if you can" ."-From LORD & TAY1oR's Boob of Instructions for theiT Sdlesn1en.

Diphtheria.

Dr. Gauthier, of St. Paul, Minn., tells in the Chicago MedicuJ Revteto of his success in an epidemic of diphtheria by the use of iodine. He has treated 200 cases with but two deaths, while before adopting this method he lost one third of all his cases. The treatment is as follows The patient is ordered tinc- ture iodine in ten to twelve drop doses every hour, well diluted with water, so long as the fever lasts, subsequently re- ducing to ten drops every two, and finally every three hours. Local ap- plications are made use of at the same time. These latter should be made by the physician at least twice day For internal use the decolorized 1tinS nSture is used. Bread and stafchyl eSttsles of diet are used in abundance,

Foreign Bodies in the Eye,

Dr. Thos. R. Pooley (Archives Opb- Malm,ology) reports some interesting g experiments with the magnetic needle for detecting foreign substances in the eye. He concludes 1. The presence of steel or foreign body in the eye, when of considerable size, and situated near the surface, may be determined by testing for it with a suspended magnet. 2. The presence and position of such body may most surely be made out by rendering it magnet by induction, and then testing for it by suspended magnet. 3. The probable depth of the inclosed foreign body may be infer red by the intensity of the action of the needle near the surface. 4. Any change from the primary position of the foreign body may be ascertained by carefully noting the changes indicated by the defection of the needle.
