IN Old Fashioned Cement.

Many years ago / saw an old lady
tie broken glass dish together and
boil it in milk until it was cemented
firmly, but i had forgotten the incident
until 1t was recalled by an experience
of my own l have a favorite granite
ware dish which is constantly in use
in a variety of ways-sometimes for
stewing fruit, or baking pudding, or
cooking succotash or tomatoes; in fact,
it would be hard to tell what it was not
used for.
One day, last fall it was on the
stove partly full of milk, OF which l in.
tended to make a corn-starch pudding.
A friend calling was invited to stay to
dinner, and bethought me to enlarge
my pudding by another cup of milk
before adding the eggs, etc. The in
slant poured the cold INTO the boil
Ing milk l was startled by loud snap,
and the neM moment saw the milk
oozing through crack that entirely
encircled the bottom Of the dish. Re-
preaching myself with carelessness, 1
fastened to remove it from the stove,
fearing that it might come apart and
deluge the hot stove with milk. which,
you know, would be catastrophe in
deed. The milk dripped almost in a
stream as l moved it, but soon after l
noticed that the dish had ceased leak
ing, and upon turning out the milk l
found that ii was perfectly cemented.
Ever since that time, months ago, it
has been in constant use as before, un-
til a few days since / found it again
leaking. filled it with milk, set it on
the back OF the stove, and, to my sat
isfaction, soon found that it had taken
out a new lease for a useful life.
There is so much worthless granite
ware of that sor that when good pieee
is found, that never absorbs fat or
poors of any sort, it is really valuable
and worth preserving.-[Rural New
Yorker.

WORK FOR WOMEN.

The number of new employments
opening to women are indicative of the
resistless energy which is thus cutting
its own channels and making its own
way. Society, too, is fast losing its
spirit Of sympathetic commiseration
over the women who has something to
do-and does it. Work is fast becom-
ing dignity, not degradation: as a
pleasure, not pain. 1T would be a
revelation to know the number of women
who are now living independently and
are earning their own livelihood says
Mrs. Croley Uennie June) in a recent
letter to the Baltimore American. sit
would be still more Of a revelation to
find what an excellent livelihood they
make, and the sort of interest they put
into their self-made lives. With Pc
cuniary independence comes a larger,
freer, nobler life for women, life that
reacts upon the repressed lives of
thousands Of other women, and makes
them think their own thoughts and act
their own minds for the first time in the
history of their own kind"
Woman's rights are now almost ex-
clusively predetermined by capacities.
She may do anything she can do, and
the ability constitutes the propriety.
Among the new employnients opened
to women are clerical positions in
hotels. At the Palmer House IN Chi
cago these Offices are filled by women,
one of whom receives $1,000 per year
and board; another 5000 and board,
and the lady book-keeper receives a
salary of 5000 and board. If women
filling these position choose to stay
away from the hotel they receive $500
additional allowance per year. Mr..
Palmer, the propr., says the trial is so
satisfactory that in whatever positions
women can properly fill IN his hotel
they will be substituted for men. It
would be an experiment of interest if
some of our Boston hotels would try
this new plan of procedure. and thus
inaugurate another work for women
here. Mrs. Florence E. Cory, Princi-
pal of the Woman's Institute of Tech
meal Design in New York. recently
lectured at Steinway Hall on "Indus-
trial Art. for Women" The paper is |
gwen in full in the Art Amateur for
January, and it is particularly timely

WASHINGTON. D. c., January Sin
a remote corner Of the Congressional
Cemetery, this afternoon, a small group
Of people with uncovered heads were
arranged around a newly opened
grave. They included Detective and
Mrs. George A. Miller and friends,
who had gathered to witness the burial
ofthe formerly bright little son, Harry.
AS the ccffin rested upon the trestles
there was painful pause broken only
by the mothers sobs, until the under
taker advanced toward a stout, ford.
complexioned gentleman in the party
and whispered to him, the words being
inaudible to the lookers-on. This gen.
tleman was Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, a
friend OF the Millers, who attended the
funeral at their request. He then
shook his head and said, "Does Mr..
Miller desire it?

from the drilling rain, and said:
"My friends, l know how vain it is to
gid grief with words, and yet wish to
take from every grave its fear. Here
in this world, where life and death are
equal kings, all should be brave enough
to meet what all the dead have met.
The future has been filled with fear,
stained and polluted by the heartless
past. From the wondrous ree of life,
the buds and blossoms fall with rpened
fruit, and in the common bed OF earth,
the patriarchs and babies sleep side by
side. Why should we fear that which
will come to all that is? We can not
tell. We do not know which is the
greater blessing-life or death. We
can not say that death is not a good;
we do not know whether the grave is
the end Of this life or the door of
another, or whether the night here is
not somewhere else dawn. Neither
can we tell which the more fortunate
the child dying in its mothers arms,
before its lips have learned to form a
word, or he who journeys all the length
of
LIES UNEVEN ROAD,
painfully taking the last slow steps with |
staff and crutch. Every cradle asks
US, "Whence2" and every coffin,
"Whither?" The poor barbarian,
weeping above his dead, can answer
these questions as intelligently and
satisfactorily as the robed priest of the
most authentic creed, The fearful ig-
norance of the one is just as good as
the learned and unmeaning words of
the other. No man standing where
the horizon ola life has touched a
grave, has any right to prophesy flu
ture filled with pain and tears. 1t
may be that death gives all there is of
worth to life. If those We press
and strain against our hearts could
never die, perhaps that love would
wlther from the earth. May be this
common fate treads from out the paths
between our hearts the weeds of
selhshness and hate, and l had rather
live and love where death is king, than
nave eternal life where love is not. An
other life is naught, unless we know and ;
owe again the ones who love us here.
They who stand with breaking hearts
around this little grave need have no
ear. The larger and the nobler faith
n all that is, and is to be, tells us that

HORSE DENTISTS.
A New Profession Described by q Colum
bus Manipulation OF Human Molars.

olive Oak" well known dentist Of
Columbus, and correspondent Of
Cleveland paper, describes, in an inter-
esting way, the operations Of horse
dentist to which he was invited. Horse
dentistry is new profession hereabouts,
and the information will be interesting
to most readers, especially those who
own horses. The correspondent says:
Several horses where brought out for
a preliminary diagnosis, and at the re-
quest Of the veterinary dentist inserted
the thumb or forehnger back among the
equine molars as an exploring instrument,
and was surprised to find the rough.
sharp and jagged conditions existing
there, just as | had so often seen them
in the mouths OF habitual tobacco chew
crs. These conditions gave rise to the
same train of symptoms and diseases rs
they do in the human family, causing
indigestion, collie, inflammation OF the
bowels, etc. The long, sharp teeth
cause sore tongue, cheeks and lips, they
in turn causing the horse TO drivel and
slobbcr, pull on one rein, and in driving,
stubbornly work to one side of the road.
Such horses cannot masticate their food.
and in such instances and in case Of
badly decayed teeth. causing alveolar
abscess, the horse loses flesh and soon
becomes comparatively valueless with
out the owners being able to locate or
describe the cause of their intense misery.
With strong. sharp nippers the sharp
cusps were cut away. several badly de-
cayed teeth extracted with immense
forceps, and the tartar was carefully re-
moved, and then with series of sharp
files the teeth were skillfully smooihed,
the mouth was carefully washed out with
4 sponge: and another examination in
vited. The teeth that half an hour be-
fore were long, sharp and jagged. now
felt round and smooth, and the horse
which had borne the operation without
4 finch, looked grateful, As though he
fully appreciated the value OF the oper-
alton. "rhe most vicious horse in the
world" said the operator, "will stand
to have his teeth fixed withou, even 4
halter on. The assistant stands with
one hand on the horses neck and the
other on his nose, and the horse gives
no trouble whatever. fix about 4
dozen horses day on an average, and
get 81 each for my work, unless the case
is unusually bad, and then | get $, or
So. The disease which bad teeth give
rise to are hide-bound, running At the
eyes, soldering, holding the head to
one side, tongue lolling. cribbing, etc.
They have toothache, alveolar abscess,
etc., and suffer in the same way as, and
to far greater extent, than the human
family, and what is true OF horses is
true OF cattle, sheep, dogs, and all the
lower animals" There are five veteri-
nary dentists in the United States, and
Of course plenty of room for more.
