In reply to the remarks made by the two bishops
OF the sister church, Bishop Beebe spoke OF the
progress made In the church, and said he thought
there was sentiment in the church In favor of
grounds that were just and right.
Bishop Turner interrupted toaay that there was
the same feeling In his church. Speaking In be-
half OF his church, he extended hts hand, 1--WE are
with you" and he hoped to see the day when
there would be no African or eolOred church, but
all be united. lTheSe closing remarks were greet

Cooked Meat for Fowls.
Poultry Yard.

1t is too much the practice to feed raw
meat to poultry under the mistaken idea
that as the worms and insects which they
seize with such avidity are uncooked, so
should be any meat given them by their
owners.
But the early worm which Biddy takes in
her empty crop, soft, pulpy, and crushed by
the bill before it descends the gullet, is one
thing, and the coarse, dry, stringy, tatless
flesh thrown TO them in the rough and the
tough is quite another, even if the carcass OF
the horse or sheep so bestowed is not still
more Objectionable on account of disease.
True, these nearly dry bones" may serve to
while away weary hour in the monotonous
life Of the poultry yard and happily the
fowls may labor under the impression that
they are eating something. And so they
may serve a certain purpose in the poultry
world. But for real aid and comfort to the
fowls save all your refuse meat and buy IN
addition liver, lights, heart and al" as the
old story runs, from the shambles, and boil
all together for two hours or more. Then
chop finely and mix with meal in the water
in which they were boiled. This dry, rich
mess, showing bits of meats like the raislns
in plum pudding will be a dish fit to set be-
fore any queen of the poultry harem, y
and she and her maids of honor will pay you
for it in more than words, as your egg basket,
high with pearls, will show Oh many sue
ceeding day.

Fruit Stains.

Napkins, table clothes, handkerchiets and
other linen indicate that the season of fruits
is at hand. The carful housewif will never
allow the stained articles to 60 into the wash
without first discharging the stain, as the
SOAP will set the color and make it all the
more difficult to remove it afterwards Some
stains will yeild to boiling water if applied
at once. Many, for their complete removal,
require bleaching liquid. 'Javelle water"
sold by druggists, is the best preparation OF
the kind, but solution of chloride OF lime
answers nearly as WELL Put a quarter OF
pound of fresh chloride into a quart jar. add
a little water. and stir with stick until all
the Jumps are broken and smooth mixture mix
made; fill up the jar with water and set
aside. The next day, Or when the liquid is
perfectly clear, pour off the dregs and keep
in well stopped bottles in dark, cool place
Wetting fruit stains with this will usually
discharge them at once Never allow this
liquid to dry on the fabric, and never put
any soap upon it, until it has first been thor
oughly rinsed in clear water.

An Absent Minded Bride.

1t is related of an absent minded young
lady, that, having been duly married, she
started out on her bridal tour. The party
stopped at hotel in 4 Western city. So far
SO good, some time in the night there came q
succession of terrified shrieks from the room
occupied by the bride and groom, and the
clerks, porters and employees generally
rushed up stairs only to meet frantic te-
male figure, clad in white, fieeingsin desper-
ate haste from her apartment crying:
''Oh, there's a man in my room"
The clerk rushed in, and found the groom
half disrobed, standing in the middle of tine
floor, one boot on and The other in his hand

that he had Just come up stairs, and was il

retired) when she suddenly awoke with q
shrek and fled.
What was the matter?' asked the clerk
':Damfino' said the husband.
Just then the bride, dressed in huge bed
spread, procured for her by chambermaid
came back, looking very red and foolish, and
in half minute she explained the mystery
by saying:

do any of your customers ever fall asleep
in the shaving chair ?"
''Oh, dear, yes" replied the barber, flicking
off an intrusive morsel of sOap-suds. That
often happens in the cold weather, when
men appreciate the warmth and comfort OF
the saloon after coming in from the street
When l see an elderly fat gentleman coming
down stairs with toothpick in his mouth, l
know | am going to have trouble, so | shave
quickly and talk to him all the time, making
remarks that call for reply, and occasion
ally splashing the suds into his eye, or get
ting the shaving brush in his mouth. OF
course he doesn't like it. But it's the only
way to keep him awake. Worry him, sir,
worry him all the time. Keep stirring hi m
up. There are men, though, who will go to
sleep in spite of me, lolling back in the
chair and drawing the skin of the throat so
tight that it's almost a temptation to cut IN
to it, They shut their eyes at once, and only
grunt when ask if Guiteau has got new
trial. or cut piece off them, or stick the
brush in their mouth but they are sound
asleep when have finished shaving them
and they get angry and swear when | wake
them.
Its wonderful too, how much trouble some
of my customers take, under the impression
that they are helping us. When man
takes his lower lip into his mouth and draws
the skin over his chin until it is as tight as a
drum, he is adding considerably to our
trouble. and the slightest carelessness on our
part is sure to cut him. 1t is much easier to
90 over a loose skin than tight one. Now,
if you will just blow all that air out of your
cheek, / shall shave you quicker and more
safely. Thank you. You'll look younger
with your whiskers Off"

Eating Lemons.

A good deal has been said through the
papers about the healthfulness of lemons
The latest as to how to use them SO they
will do the most good runs as follows: Most
people know the benefit of lemonade before
breakfast, but few know how it is more than
doubled by taking another at night, also
The way to get the better of bilious sys-
tenn without blue pills or quinine, is totake the
Juice of one, two OR three lemons, as the ap-
petite Graves, in as much ice-water as makes
it pleasant to drink, without sugar. before
going to bed In the morning on rising or
at least half an hour before breakfast, take
the Juice of one lemon in goblet of water
This will clear the system of humors and
bile. with mild efficacy, without any OF the
weakening effects Of calomel or congress
water. People should not irritate the stom,
ach by eating lemons clear; the powerful
acid of the juice, which is almost cor
rosive, infallibly produces inflammation after
a while, but properly diluted, so that 1t does
not burn or draw the throat. it does Its iull
medicinal work without harm, and when
the stomach is clear of food has abundant
opportunity to work on the system thor

A Remarkable Girl.

| heard to-day of q beauteOus maiden of
seventeen. who lives in Cleveland, and who,
possessing aspirations above the consuming
caramel and dancing the german burns to
go on the stage and become famous. Her
wealthy and aristocratic male parent has
protested in vain, but is unable to curb the
exuberance of her youthful enthusiasm. He
has. therefore, come down handsomely, If
not with pleasant alacrity, and has placed
$1,000 to his gifted daughters credit, with
permission to draw on him for as much more
if necessary for the advancement of her
cherished project. And what do you sup
pose the rash girl proposed to do? She has
applied to an eminent tragedian for subor-
dinate position, without salary, in his care
fully disciplined company, saying frankly
that she is willing to attempt the most tri-
fling parts. and by hard work careful obser-
vation hopes to lay the foundation of endur-
ing success thereafter In short she wants
to begin at the foot of the ladder and learn
to climb.
This is an extraordinary freak The aver
age young woman with similar aspirations
and $4,000 would secure some gorgeous
gowns and seven different kinds of litho-
graphs in five colors, after which she would
engage some bad actors at high salaries and

of Lyons" "Ingomara and Romeo and Jul

her baggage with the hotelkeeper at Wauk-
esha, or Iishpenning, or Kalamazoo, aud by

home where she would eventually marry a
bookkeeper and drop into private theatricals.
After all, perhaps the Cleveland girls way
is the best. ~ 4d5 xfsAes

THE DATE IN THE RING.

The women dressed her for farewell,
In snowy silk and lace;
1 crown of her braided hair they set
Above her quiet face,
And on her placid breast they laid
White roses as became Il maid.
Her mother bent and kissed her lips,
And kissed her braided hair,
And folded down the peaceful hands
Upon the bosom fair,
And, weeping, saw on one ring,
4 little golden, time-Worn thing.
She took il from the icy hand
And looked for rhyme of name,
Something 10 say why it was there,
From whose fond thought it came.
She only saw, through many tear.
! date long past-day, month and year.
Twas some schoolfellow's s gift she sighed
The child forgot to show"
And put it back i'll its own place
With tender touch and slow,
And saw its tiny glitter rest
Like sunshine on that quiet breast
All, little ring, you kept it well,
The secret OIL your date!
What eer its meaning it goes untold
Beyond the earth and fate;
Pain or blessing-Who can say
How much of either in ii lay.
We watch the light in our darling's eyes,
The lines that the slow years bring.
Vet know as little what they mean
As the secret of the ring.
JOY or sorrow-God only knows
How much of both lies under the rose

MISSOURI STYLE.
How Judge Talked to a Jury in San
IA Monica.
Los Angeles Times.

Los Angeles l1meS.l
He was from Missouri and he got interes-
ted in a criminal trial after he had been
there few days. He sat and watched with
the greatest interest possible.
After the judge had instructed the jury
and sent them out under the care of the con-
stable to be locked up, he went of, to take a
walk and give the poor jury time to come to
some conclusion.
In about an hour he returned and heard
someone making democratic speech in the
jury room. He opened the door and found
the old Missourian in the middle of the floor
laying down the law and the facts to the
jury.
Here what are you doing in this room -
cried the court in laundering tones.
Il came in here to see what the jury in
tended to do, and thought ] would help
them out a little"
But you have got no right here. The law
strictly forbids anyone to talk to jury after
they have been locked up"
Now, you see here, stranger, I've been a
judge of justice court in Homing Hill
Jackson county, Missouri, for the past TWEEN
ty years, and l always helped the jury out
You see they need good talking to, and l
always do it."

When the French sought to establish Il
monarchy in Mexico Mazatlan youth raised
regiment of boys and waged against some
of the invaders as appeared in Sanaloa a
warfare that told. The young mans father
was of Castilian blood, and his mother was q
Mexican. His name, Corona soon became
famous and at the age Of twenty-five he was
regarded as the Mosby of Mexico. At the
end of the war he was a Major General, the
hero of the soldiers and the idol of Mazat-
Ian society. He was six feet tall, broad
shouldered handsome and daring. While
attending a ball at the American hotel, in
Mazatlan, he stumbled over domestic
knocking tray from her hand. STOPPING to
pick up the crockery, General Corona noticed
that the girl was very pretty and very saucy.
She told him that her name was Betty Bow
Ell, that her mother was San Francisco
washerwoman, and that he ought to know
better than to rush headlong down dark
stairway Corona made love to the Ameri-
can Miss, and before leaving for the capital
he had learned of her irreproachable though
very humble life. Once away, Betty's ways
and pert face haunted him so much that he
wrote to her, arranging for her marriage by
proxy. He remained in Mazatlan the bride
went to a convent school. They were a
thousand miles apart and wrote to each
other daily, the husband constantly instruct
ing the wife in polite ways. President Jua-
rez, fearing that Corona's popularity would
lead the people to give their vote to the
young soldier at an election then approach
ing, concluded to send him as Minister to
Madrid, the most enviable diplomatic posi-
ition in the eyes Of all Mexicans General
Corona took the washerwemans daughter to
his palace in Madrid, and she is now regar-
ded as the most brilliant and accomplished
lady at the Court of Spain.

Many truly great men have been difident

The climate Of Wyoming is not congenial
to the plug hat. You may wear one at one
o'clock with impunity, if you can dodge the
vigilance committee, and at three minutes
past enc, little cats paw Of wind will come
sailing down from the snowy range, that
makes the cellars and dry wells tremble and
the hat look like a frightened picket-tence.
The air of Wyoming when it is feeling pref
ty we'll, Will wear out a plug hat in about
two hours, and leave it looking like a joint
OF iron stove pipe. When the air is full OF
geological specimens, and blossom rock, and
deceased tom cats, it is not good time to
wear the plug hat At the first sight of the
wind the hat gets fuzzy, like the corset OF a
humble bee. Then some more little whisper
inc zephyrs come along from the same bed
of violets on Vinegar Hill, and after that
man has followed his hat for fifteen or twen-
ty miles as the crow flies, he picks it out of
a bunch of sagebrush, and it is as bald head
ed as door-knob. In former years they
used to hang man who wore plug hat
west of the Missouri river; but after while
they found it was more cruel and horrible
punishment to let him wear it, and chase it
over the foothills when the frolicsome breeze
caught it up, and toyed with it, and damned
it against the broad brow of Laramie Peak.
An old hunter was out among the black hills
east of town, last summer, and ran across a
little gulch, where the abrupt rocks closed
together and formed little atmospheric ed
dy, so to speak. There, in that lonely reser-
voir, he found what he at first considered q
petrifed hat-store. It was genuine deposit
of escaped straw-hats and plug-hats that the
frolicsome zephyrs had caught up and car
ried for ten miles, until this natural hat-rack
had secured them OF course there were
other articles Of apparel, and some debilita-
ted umbrellas, but the deposit seemed to
assay mostly in hats

Geological Time.
------------
TProf. Ball in Nature.

The most ancient human monuments that
now exist cannot, 1 suppose be more than a
few thousand years Old Five thousand
years nearly exhausts all historical time.
Ten thousand years certainly does. Though
we have no earlier historial record, yet other
records are not wanting. Geology tells us
that ten thousand years is but moment in
the span of the earth's history. We learn
from geology that even the career OF
man himself has lasted far more than ten
thousand years. Yet man is but the latest
addition to the succession Of life on earth.
For the chronology of the earlier epochs OF
the earth's history we require majestic units
to give adequate expression to our dates.
Thousands of years are not sufficient, nor
tens of thousands, nor hundreds OF thou
sands The course of geological time is to
be reckoned in millions OF years. :

Fidelity.

Never torsake friend When enemies
gather around, when sickness falls on the
heart, when the world is dark and cheerless
is the time to try true friendship. They
who turn from the scene of distress betray
their hypocrisy, and prove that interest only
moves them. If you have friend who
loves you-who has studied your interest
and happiness-be sure to sustain him in adj
versity. Let him feel that his former kind
ness is appreciated, and that his love was
not thrown away. Real fidelity may be
rare but it exists-in the heart. They only
deny its worth and power who have never
loved friend or labored to make one happy.
The good and the kind, the affectionate and
the virtuous, see and feel the heavenly prin-
ciple.
