1 do not, and 1 will not,
Believe that God forgets;
1 know that life is weary,
And full of vain regrets.
LIZ hard, and sad, and fearful,
And holding endless pain
But the tender Christ was pitifuI.
And for our griefs was slain.
L do not, and l will not,
Believe He fails to hear
That the signing and the crying,
Will find a willing ear.
l know we cannot comprehend
His great, His wondrous plan:
But o, the Christ was pitifnI,
And brought His love to man.

Eighty thousand Americans annually
visit Europe. OF this number $4,000
sail from the port of New York. They
spend upon an average while abroad
So, 800 apiece. The greater number are
ladies. Such is the statement made by
Broadway travelling commission firm
to journalist. The Importance of
these annual pilgrimages, which are in
creasing year by year, has developed
system of ocean etiquette that governs
the conduct of what may be termed the
best circles of maritime society"
Nowadays the Captain of crack ocean
steamer must not only be first-class
sailor, but he must also be a man of
infinite tact and method, with a
thorough knowledge of what society"
requires at his hands.
To sit at the fright of the Captain"
at table at once accords to the occu-
pants of that distinguished honor the
highest place in the social scale on
board ship, and the position is COM
peted for with an amount of anxiety
that is very amusing. The senior sur
geon and his assistant (when two are
carried) act as deputies, and rank
oOSlolIJ ICAu III III lJCl w OllN Stbpp-
ain himself. How to accommodate
the various claims for this coveted dis
| tinction is q matter of serious moment.
The personnel of the passenger list is
closely searched at least forty-eight
hours before the vessel sails. Very
often the purser is called into consulta-
ton, and the difficulty is finally settled
by placing a card bearing the passen-
gers name upon his or her plate. From
this decision there is no appeal. 1t
frequently happens, however, that one
or more persons may consider them
selves Sighted, and where it is probable
that the Imaginary slight will disturb
the social harmony the Captain es-
capes by taking his meals in his own
room.
In the first-class ships, as the Bothnia,
the Alaska, the Britannia, the Arizona,
the Baltic and the Spain, which carry
from $50 TOGO cabin passengers apiece,
| it is becoming the rule to dress for
dinner-the ladies in semi-evening
toilet, the gentlemen in frock coats. A
good story is told by Purser Neppens,
of the Cunard Line. cit is arule, sir"
said steward to tall fair passenger,
W pun vi lIOCk COdG dJ uIUueT.
This was after the vessel had been two
days at sea. The passenger persisted
in wearing his suit of light tweed, and
the request was reiterated on the fol-
lowing day, which happened to be
stormy one. The vessel lurched heavily,
| but the passenger appeared in a frock
coat of exquisite tineness. The con-
tents of plate of soup, however, soon
destroyed its gloss, and the gentleman
retired abruptly in confusion. He said
nothing, however, until Liverpool was
reached, when, placing letter in the
hands of the purser, he desired him to
give it to the manager of the line. Its
contents were as follows:

FARM AND PRESIDE.

The Charleston; g. CT Neus is
gratified to note a steady increase in
the number of small farms in the South
ern States.
To keep colored clothing from dry
ing streaked, put handful of salt to
each bucket of water, and those that
have red, blue, green, or any other
bright colors, put in vinegar in addition
to the salt. This is particularly nice
for rag carpet, and then hang on the
line to drip.-Detr0it Post. ..5 /.
AS far as possible keep vermin, es-
pecially rats, from the hogs. German
physicians, who have devoted a great
deal of time to the investigation, have
discovered that large percentage of
rats are infested with trichina. 1t is
quite possible that swine have, in many
cases, received the parasites from this
source.-NeW England Farmer.
"A one-egg bread pudding is some
times greatly to be desired. Beat one
egg with one teaspoonful of flour, three
of brown sugar, one pint of milk, a
little salt; place some very thin slices
of buttered bread in pudding dish;
then pour the custard already made
over this, and bake for half an hour.
Fruit may be added and spices to suit
the taste.-N Y. Post
To tell whether tin vessels are per-
fectly clean or not, slide the finger care
fully over them, and if they are the
least bit slippery you may be sure they
have not been properly washed. They
should be subjected to a heat that will
cut the grease off of them, and nothing
but the hottest kind of water or steam
will do this. For cleaning dairy i'm
plements put no trust in patent COM
pounds; Just see that the water used is
hot, and that it remains hot until the
last article is washed. The household
1t is much easier to run a pound of
tallow off sheep than to feed quarter
of pound on it. Hence the import
ance of enforcing gentle handling Of
your flocks by your herder. We have
known herders to rush sheep out of y
corral in the morning as if shot out of
a gun, under the insane delusion that
they needed exercise, as if an average
Texas sheep don't take enough out
door exercise every day it lives. The
latest and best-conditioned tlocks, gen
orally are those that take things easy,
and are not everlastingly running races
with herders and shepherd dogs
Chicago Times.
Breast of veal with peas: Cut a
breast of veal into eight or ten pieces
and fry them light brown in half but
ter and half lard. Turn in boiling
water and let the meat simmer slowly
for two hours. Skim off all the fat and
scum which rises. Add a spoonful of
tomato catsup and pint of fresh,
shelled peas, and simmer for half an
hour. Take out the veal upon a hot
platter. Skim out the peas around it
and strain the gravy over it, If it is
not thick enough, thicken it with a
little corn starch wet in cold water. A
breast of lamb can be cooked in the
same manner-N Y. Times.

Blessed Benefacrors.

When board of eminent physicians AMI

combining some well-known valuable reIne-
dies, the most wonderful medicine was pro-
duced, which would cure such wide range of
diseases that most all other remedies could be
dispensed with, many we're skcptieal; but
proof of its merits by actual trial has tHjspebea
AZ doubt, and to-day the discoverers CT that
great medicine, Hop Bitters, are honored and
blessed by all as benefactors. These Bitters
are compounded from Hops, Buchu, ltalt,
Mandrake and Dandelion and other Oldest

world and contain all the best and most cuFa-

A Bears Winter Nan,

Mr.. James Hooper, of Edwardsburg,
is the happy possessor of year-old
bear, for which he has snug quarters
prepared in the shed. On the 9th of
last December, his bearship no doubt
feeling drowsy, retired to his quarters,
and much to the surprise of his owner,
refused to be coaxed out again, even
savory dishes placed at the door of his
box had not the slightest effect upon
him. Weeks passed into months, and
still ,bruin remained in state of leth-
argy, until people began to look for
ward to the 18th of March, when all
well-regulated bears are supposed to
come forth and look for their shadows.
But alas! for the old story, he came not
forth, and it was not until the 28th of
the month that he condescended to poke
his brown nose out and partake of a
little milk, and not until the 9th of
April that he may be said to have par
taken of a square meal. His long fast
does not seem to have disagreed with
him, as he looks just as well as ever
