Home Items.

Don't forget in the new home to
make a place in the sitting-room for
the family library. Small, indeed, at
first il may be, but book added occa-
sionaliy will make it grow more than
you think.
Never go back-never. What you
gattempt. do it with all your strength
4 Determination is omnipotent. If the
SprosDect be somewhat darkened, put
&fhe fire of resolution to your soul,
land kindle a flame that nothing but
the strong arm of death can extin-
guish.
II The latest and one of the very best
&deas is the establishment in New
FFsYork of a cooking college. This in
#stitution, not of learning, but of learn
Ming to cook, is to be inaugurated at
Lake Chatauqua, and has for its object
the education of visitors to that resort
in the art of cooking. No art is more
essentially necessary and none as lit
tie studied as the preparation of food
sfor table purposes Bad cooking has
caused more misery in the world than
wars, and has been the cause OF as
many deaths as physlcaI CAM pdlgHs.
1t is remarkable that no organized
plan for the education of individuals
in this line of necessity and business
has ever been agitated.
1t is said of Mary Stuart that she
never visited strange place without
planting trees. With equal thought
fulness she lnculcated upon the heart
of her son, James l., the same beauti-
full custom, and it would seem that
this fashion became hereditary, for
Elizabeth, daughter of James l., twas
greatly noted for her love of forest
growth, and the culture of flowers.
Still further on, we read of Sopia, the
queenly daughterof Elizabeth Stuart,
and more than any other, most resem-
bling in elegant height delicacy Of
feature, complexion, and in sweet
hilarity and charm of happy temper,
her great ancestress, also gave herself
heart and hand to this most charming
of souveniers. Memorials of thought
full care, meath which the weary feet
of many a traveller shall rest.

An interviewing Reminiscence.
Providence Journal

This is not only found upon fact,
but has fact for a superstructure, and
a living witness and participant to
shore it up"
The Hon. Bachariah Allen, in his
earlier days, lived and transacted
business on North Main street, on the
site of the present Clarendon Hotel.
A store house extended FROM the
dwelling house through to Canal
street, and in this building were kept
supplies,for the various mills in which
Mr.. Allen was interested. One day a
hogshead of oil arrived and was
placed in tbe storehouse. Edward y
said Mr.. Allen to his clerk Edward
s. Cushing, / wish you would find
at one Of the grocers a barrel. and
borrow a pump We viii not send
tnat hogshead Of oil to the mill all at
once, but a little at time Edward
returned soon with barrel and the
pump with which the oil was to be
pumped from the hogshead into the
barrel. They went to the storehouse,
adjusted the barrel, the pump and the
tunnel, and the oil was soon running
into the barrel
Now, Edward, said Mr. Allen,
"while you pump I'll tend the barrel
and the tunnel, and to help both, I'll
also tell a story Many years ago, -
continued Mr.. Allen, when stage
coachs were running, there was a
man who kept q grocery store in
Market square a part Of this mans
business and pleasure was to meet the
Boston to get his newspaper, to see
the passengers, and to gether any
news or gossip thaa might be going
No matter what he might be doing
he dropped everything and rsn when
he heard the coach coming.
About stage time one day, this
grocer began to draw a gallon Of mo
lasses. lie had Just pulled TIE wood
en- plug from the hole when he heard
the sound of the stage wheels. As
the molasses ran slow, lac thought

Children,s Dress for school.

Leggings are very necessary for lit
tie girls, and should be made long,
and of dark brown or blue worsted.
Pretty little muhs can be made at
home out of the piece of the outside
jacket, or can be crocheted out of scar
let wool to correspond with the hood.
Long mittens of scarlet are pretty
when tied at the wrist and up on the
arm with scarlet ribbon run through
the crochet and cords and tassels.
Knit mittens are not so clumsy as the
clocheted ones
Little scarlet crocheted hoods are
the best for winter wear, and look
pretty when bow of ribbon is placed
on the top. The Mother Hubbard and
Quaker pokes are also warm and look
quaint and picturesque.
Children with delicate lungs should
have entire suits of underclothing
made of red flannel, no muslin being
worn. The medicinal properties Of
red flannel are great, and then 1t is
warmer than white flannel.
Every mother will recognize the
wisdom of dressing children plainly
for school. BY plain we do not mean
unbecomingly, but doing away with
jewelry, silk, velvet or satin dresses,
etc. Pretty bat simple dresses are al
ways considered in the best taste, but
the material used should always be OF
the best.

that by running faster himself he
could get his paper and return before
the measure was full. lie ran out at
full speed but when he reached the
stage the molasses was forgotten.
Probably the news and gossip was
unusually interesting on that occasion.
The grocer was walking leisurely back
to the store when some one shouted
out to him, Whats the matter in
your storel The molasses is running
about the sidewalk. The way that
mrn donbled up his legs and run was
sight worth seeing. Mr.. Allen
laughed heartily at the recollection.
Meanwhile the oil was running rap
idly into the barrel Mr.. Allen
knocked ON the head of the barrel
with the bung steerer and the barrel
had an empty sound. Edward. this
barrel fills very slowly He knocked
again further down on the head The
barrel was empty. Looking at the
other end of the barrel, they found
that the oil had rum out as fast as it
was pumped in. Edward, said Mr..
Allen holding out the bung steerer,
you may knock me on the head"

At Columbus Indiana.

A telegram of Oct. both has the fol
lowing:
At / o'clock this morning a cyclone
struck this city, and in five minutes
had inflicted great damage. The
roar gifts approach equalled the loud
est thunder. The hominy mill had
the roof, which is So by 80 feet, torn
off, part of the upper story going
with it. The debris was hurled in
all directions, some parts penetrating
a house rs feet away. Nearly half of
the Jacksonville, Nashville 81 In
dianapolis depot was torn Off and was
reduced to splinters. A sill from the
depot was driven into a saloon across
the street and everything in the place
was demolished The roof of stable
was torn off and dropped on the roof
of George Griffith's residence. The
Presbyterian Church was then struck
and the slate roof torn off In an in
slant the heavy pieces of slate were
carried all over the city rendering it
almost death to go out in the vicinity
Many states were dashed into the
windows of houses or driven through
the side of the houses The air dur
ing the storm was filled with flying
debris and the streets are now piled
with wreckage of all kinds. Fences,
outbuildings and chimneys were
blown down and scattered far and
wide.

Game in Lower New England.
Hartford Courant.

Mr.. Burton Hoadley, Of Forestville,
rs probably the Oldest as well as the
most successful trapper in the state.
He is now in his eighty-fourth year
but in the woods he can outwalk most
men not half his age. For number
of years he was trapper for the Am
erican Fur Company. He possesses
the secret Of a peculiar bait for foxes,
which they are said to scent fora long
distance. The other morning he
brought into Hartford forty partridges,
which he had shared since Saturday.
He reports game as scarce this year,
but thinks he can manage to get one
hundred birds a week.

Death Of r, N. Griffith.

Again W e are called upon to chron-
icle the death of IL of our citizens IN
the prime of life. Five years ago we
saw Mr.. Griffith for the first time,
and we thought him as handsome and
healthy a speciman of vigorous man,
hood as we had ever seen, but on last
Friday morning, at an early hour, he
succumbed to disease and passed away
to the unknown shore.
To blood poisoning his death IS at
tributed, after a months sickness
from a complication OF disorders
which seemed beyond the skill OF
physicians TO master. Added to these
troubles was the mental distress
which every man of pride must feel
at being placed III a position OF seem,
ing disgraca without having merited
it by any act which honest men
would condemn. ;,
He is gone beyond the reach OF all
human affairs, but his friends would
have found cause for some little con-
ISOLATION had he llyed to show to the
world the injustice and the wrong
which has been visited on many OF
our reputable people in East Tennes-
see by the exparte proceedings winch
took place last summer. Peace to
his ashes !!
