Fairer morning never dawned than that
of Wednesday, July 26;h, 1882. Between
the hours of 9 and 10 A. NJ, o: that lovely
day, merry company of old and young
mistake. all were young that day,
think,) gathered in front of an ancien,
dwelling, in the pleasant village Of Chel.
sea, and very soon numerous baskets. pals,
bags, shawls, etc., etc.. were slowed away
in the roomy carriages which stood at the
gateway. and the boys and girls, ranging
in age from eighty years down to six
months. followed. The drivers gave the
word. and we were off for picnic, on the
old farm, on which Harry Weeden Hatch
and his wife Henrietta Maria lived for for.
ty-three years and day, on which their
family of nine children were born and rear
ed, from which all went forth to the battle
of life, one soon to yield in the struggle,
| the rest to gather occasionally at the old
homestead till the father passed over the
river, and tho dear home became the
property of strangers. Twelve years since
that sad day, and now, six of the eight
living children, with relatives and friends,
were TO revisit the scenes of their child
hood. A pleasant ride of little more
than Two miles, brought us to the lovely
grove by the hillside, every tree of which
was familiar to some of the party. An
hour or two spent in chatting by the elder
ones. (not old remember in merry games
and romps by the younger, with nap in
the swinging hammock for baby Roy, dur
Ing which time reenforcements reached us
from Norwich on the Connecticut, and we
gathered round-not the board-but the
hospitable cloth, and did ample Justice to
the many good things provided for the oc-
casion. Then, farther up the hillside. in
the thick shade Of the naples, we sat and
listened to recitations and songs from tho
Misses Addie and Eva Feazie of Somer-
vile, Mass, Misses Dencie and Addie
Hatch of Norwich, Vt, Miss Cora and
Master Herbert Hatch of Modesto, Cal,
and Misses Lucy and Flora Corwin of
Chelsea, Vt.
Later came the climb of tho very crest
of the hill, and over the line fence to the
place where Joseph Hatch built his log
house on the new land to which he had
slowly journeyed from his far distant
home in Preston, Conn.,, and where his
son Harry was born in 1900. Tide old
doorstoue and chimney ilmb contributed
to the enjoyment of the day, by II gener
GUS supply of relics, and after q lingering
look at the long line of Green Mountains
and distant hills, rs lovely view as
many which are so noted in foreign lands,
the company wended their way down the
hill, part of them making a call at the old
dome itself, and finally, as /" the sun went
westering", babe adieu to the loved and
familiar scenes and drove back to the vii
lage, stopping at tho gateway before dis
persing, to sing Home, Sweet Home, TO
the dear, aged mother, too feeble to be
one of the party. Many absent friends
were remembered with wishes that thew
might be with US, but with all that we
missed it was - rare day. one to be
remembered from Vermont to California

How TO BECOME lNDEPENDENT.-L
savings invariably originate in small
sums, just as money embarrassment
arises from little extravagences. Very few
people of ordinary honesty deliberately
set to work to make large purchases which
they cannot aff9rd,an yet numbers spend
just as much in the long run in little
things that they scacely think are of no.
tice. 1t is very difficult to fully realize
the value OF small sums. Little savings,
if made at all, must be made in personal
expenditure. What is spent upon this
household is generally needed. but the
small personal luxurics which cost SO lit.
tie, are not. And when any saving is
made in this way, tho money should be
put aside and saved, Instead of being mix.
ed with tho spending fund. and additions
made 10 it as frequently as possible; that
will make you understand rs soon as any
thing, what small economies amount to.
When money is put aside to be saved, it
should be put in some place whero it can.
not bo directly got at-tho savings bank
for instance. The very fact that a little
trouble and formula has TO be gone through
with before it can be obtained, many a
time prevents 1t being spent, when it GER
tainly would have been we're it close at

The Toy PIsroL HARvEsr.-The harv
est of tho toy pistol for this year is about
ended. and more than ordinarily serious
crop of fatal accidents is laid away in the
granary of experience. The most prolific
sections seem to have been in the neighbor-
hood of Boston and Chicago; not that the
youth Of those two cities were more addict.
cd to the treaoherous toy or ripper in folly
for the fatal plucking, but probably because
there is something in the air of those places
which predisposes to lookjaw, hydrophobia
and kindred Affections. New York has
contributed fair quota, while Philadel-
phia, by the grace of mayor possessed
of common sense, escaped with but ono
fatal casualty resulting from the use of the
toy pistol. Thus far this season over $50
fatal cases have been developed from acci.
dents of this nature. The most dangerous
of the Instruments is cheap pistol which
uses blank 22.calibre cartridge. The
lock speedily gets out Of order, and in
fumbling with it nothing is more natural
than that the boy should place his hand in
front of the muszle. Tho hammer drops,
and the charge is driven into the hand,
lacerating the nerves and poisoning tho
flesh. The suffering OF those who have
died from tho lockjaw which supervenes
in such cases were agonizing in the ex-
treme. This species Of tetanus, caused by
ragged wounds of the nerve centres, is a
spasmodic disease, marked by paroxysms
Of muscular contraction, which succeed
each other at varying intervals until the
patient is beyond the reach of pain. It's
accompaniments are inflammation of the
spinal cord, high fever and extreme ex-
haustion, followed in acute cases by death
in from two TO five days, No one attack
cd by lockiaw has been known to recover.
Before another juvenile carnival of pistol
and powder takes place legislation should
stop in and provide cffeotually against
further inroads of the toy pistol among
the youth of the land. Already In several
cities ordinances against the use of this
fatal plaything have been adopted.

TIE "CATrLE OF THE PERIOD" IN

believed to have been some "crooked''
bidding at recent American sale of Short
horns. and says-'We have had too much
OF this work in Short horn business already.

polls. Every body wants them, aud they are

Tho comfort of the average homo de-
pends entirely upon the woman who is the
mistress of it. Whether sunshine shall
enter the rooms, whether the parlor shall
be used and enjoyed. whether the table
shall be invitingly spread, whether bright
lights and bright fires shall give warmth
and cheer on winter nights-whether in
brief, home shall be an agreeable or a
disagreeable place. is usually what WON

How RUBBER BALLS ARE MADE.-The
rubber balls used in games arc made in
the following manner: The sheets of
rubber are cut into strips of double con.
vex shape, or like the rind Of an orange.
The edges of these strips arc moistened
with liquid, made of rubber and naph-
tha. by which they are Joined firmly to-
gether. This part of the work is done gen.
orally by girls, who soon become skillful
workers. When the strips are Joined the
ball is about the shape ofa brazil nut.
Before the last opening is closed, some
carbonate of ammonia is put inside. This
causes the rubber to expand and fill ont
the ball mold. The molds are iron plates
of the required shape. The ball is placed
in its mold and then, being heated. is
dressed round. Sometimes explosions
occur in molding, for rubber has consid.
erahlc expansive force.

A CHEAP FILTER.-There is q great
deal of sickness caused by drinking im
pure water. One only need look at the
foul matter collected in filter to discover
tho fact. A very cheap filter can be manu-
factured from large flower pot. Fill the
hole at the bottom with sponge, ther
cover with two inches of pulverized char.
coal, two inches of sand, and fill the poi
up with pebbles, washed clean. Let the
water run for an hour or two, and after.
wards it will be fit for use. This filter
has one advantage over many which are
M anufactured. The purifying contents
can be changed at option of tho user.
Thore is no patent on filter.

Years ago, when the Rev. Henry Ware
Beecher was pastor of little church in
indianapolis, he was disturbed one Sun.
day evening in the midst of long prayer
by sudden commotion in the congrega
tion, followed by an almost preternatura
stiffness. OF course his eyes were closed
but the silence soon seemed so sepulchral
in its intensity that he could endure it no
longer, SO he opened them. Not living
soul was in the church. An alarm of fire
had sounded down the street, an engine
had come laundering by, and every man,
woman and child had rushed out to "run
