For Young men to Remember.

That clothes don't make the man.
That if they once get in debt they
may never get out os it.
That parting the hair in the middle
brings on softening of the brain
That to deal honorablv with all men
they should begin with their washer
woman.
That they need something more
substantial than cigars, kid gloves and
a cane to start housekeeping with.
That they can't reckon on their faith
er's fortune to bring them through
life. Fortunes are slippery things =
better have something besides to fal
back on.
That a girl who decks herself in the
latess things out and parades in the
street while her mother does the wash
ing. isn't worth wasting much love op
That fellow who deliberately pro.
poses matrimony to a girl when he
can't support himself, is either first
class fraud or a fool-unless he mar
ries for money and becomes her hirec
man.

GO WEST GIRLS.
Honors to q Brave Woman.

Commercial Gazette.
The State of Iowa last week pre-
sented gold medal to most worthy
subiect-Miss Kate Shelley, who, on
the stormy night of July 6, 1881, by
her presence Of mind and bravery res
cued train load Of people from hor-
rible death. On that night a terrible
wind and rain-storm destroyed the
railroad bridge over Honey Creek,
near ner house. From her window
she saw through the darkness loco
comotive headlight suddenly disap-
pear, and knew at once that the
bridge was broken or washed
awav and that train had gone down
into the creek. There was at home
beside herslf only her mother and lit
tie brother and sister, so that she alone
was able to render assistance. Light
ing a lantern and wrapping water
proof around her, she started for the
bridge. For time she could find no
signs of human being, but crawling
out upon part Of the bridge which
still remained, she swung her lantern
around and called out at the top of her
voice. She was family answered by
the engineer, who urged her to leave
him and hurry to the nearest station,
Moingona, to warn the approaching
express train of the fall of the bridge
Moingona was mile away, and to
reach it 1t was necessary to cross
high trestle bridge five hundred fee
long. Just as Kate Shelley put hel
foot on the bridge the wind blew hel
light out, and she was left in pltcf
darkness. She had no matches, and
she had had any they would have beer
useless, so she threw away her lantern
dropped on her hands and knees, ant
crawled from tie to tie until sh
reached solid ground. Realizing tha
time was prescious, and that minut
might mean life or death to many hu
!, man beings, she ran the rest OF tn
way to the station, told her story, IN
few minutes the express train wa
! heard approaching, was signaled an
stopped. When the passenger
learned that the unconscionsg girl in tn
Il station had saved them from an lnevl
. able disaster they feebly expresse
J their thanks in handsome purs
: which was largely increased by~otl

Household Economy.

Handsome mats are made of felt,
with borders of daisies and of golden
rod, or of poppies and green leaves,
worked with crewels. Ii you purchase
the patterns so much used now, by
which you can stamp your pattern
yourself the expense is trihing. A
very pretty mat is of blue felt, with
scroll-like border, worked with yellow.
Scarlet and canary color, olive and old
gold are all very tastefully used to-
gether.
Have in every bedroom basket for
odds and ends of paper, cotton, etc.
Instead of throwing these things on
the floor, or into the stove or CRATE
put them into the basket, and now and
then sort its contents, putting old let
ters and papers into one receptacle,
cotton rags in one and woolen in
third. None of this waste ought to be
thrown away or burned. 1t will all
bring money. In most houses FIVE or
more dollars may be got for "waste, u
which is too often wasted by being
thrown away.
Good rugs for the bedrooms can be
made of piece of Brussels or velvet
carpet, with worsted fringe sewed on
each end or all around it, The best
parts of old parlor carpets can be used
up IN this way. A piece of ingram
carpet of the required length, with the
ends unraveled to make fringe, looks
very neat. Old ingram carpets, cut
into strips about an inch wide,
doubled in two with the right side out,
and three pieces plated, and this plait
joined together something in the way
that straw hats are make, made useful
and strong rugs and mats Use a
large needle and fine string, or put the
needle and thread only through the
loops of the plait and just make them
join, but take care the plat lays quite
fiat. Very warm rugs and mats look
we'll made of unraveled old knitted
worsted socks and stocking strongly
fastened in little punches with need
le and carpet thread on old carpet or
sacking. The loops of wool ought &C
be about three or four inches long
The punches of loops can be cut after
the rug is completed, if you prefer it
A handsome rug fol- the hearth will,
with we'll polished floor, make any
parlor handsome and cheerful. If the
dining room is kept thoroughly well
waxed and polished, a handsome rug
for the fireplace is all that is really
necessary. The noise the chairs make
by being moved about can be greatly
mitigated by giueing on the bottoms
of the legs piece of thick felt, and
mailing it well down with furniture
tacks. The felt serves for two pur-
poses prevents noise and also scratch
ing the boards.

A FLORIDA ORANGE GROVE.
Colonel Hardee's Hundred Acre Tract
Nearly Million Oranges in Sight.

A number Of the attaches of the
Times Union visited Col. l.. A. Har-
dee at his home, at Honeymoon, for
rhe purpose of seeing his orange grove,
some of the party never having seen
one before. On being asked how
large his grove was Col. Hardee re-
piled:

A Sample of Horse Sagacity.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Cleveland Leader gives an incident
on the race course at that capital last
week which shows extraordinary in
telligence on the part of horse. The
steeplechase was being run, and jim
MCGOWAN, Ranger, and Abraham,
three of the most noted horses, were
the contestants Ranger and Abra-
ham started fairly abreast Bravely
they ran up the hill and down, over
he'd ges and bitches, with Abraham in
the lead and the Ranger pressing on
his f1anks. Within half mile Of the
close, Ranger stumbled and his Jockey
was thrown over his head. The horse
stopped moment, and then, seeing
that his competitor was fast beating
him. he started on, determined to win
the race for himself, without jockey
He followed the other horse, which
was now several lengths in advance,
| jumping the bitches as he did, and
finally gaining on him until, when the
two came to the main track on the las
quarter of a mile on the home stretch
they were neck and neck Then Ran
ger seemed to redouble his speed, anc
shooting ahead of Abraham he passed
the pole several lengths in front oi
him. 1t was q wonderful sight, anc
the crowd cheered the plucky horse al
he passed by. Ranger turned his
head toward them as they did SO witt
a toss that looked very much .ik'
pride, but abated not one jot of his
speed until he passed the winning pole
when he stopped of his own accord
and suffered his owner to mount him

How Watch Cases are Made.

The man! great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering soitensit.
To test the superiority of the keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 8 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight Of any other make will give enough
tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

Catarrh.-Without assuming to write
out thesis of this universal ailment,
facts warrant our saying that it seems
to us there never was season when 1t
was so prevalent as at the present.
The above is preliminary to the fol-
lowing, viz: That Messrs. Hood q Co.,
of Lowell believe that the best way to
treat Catarrh, and the only way to get
permanent relief, is through the blood
A constitutional disease requires a con-
stitutional remedy. Hoods Sarsapa,
rilla is q blood purifier and constitu'
tional medicine that can be relied upon
and has cured numerous cases of Catarrl
in its various forms. We think this
claim reasonable one and gladly give
it room in our columns. nS-1m

To Mothers.

Do you realize that our severest cases
of fever in children arise from sheer
neglect on the part of their mothers.
Do not allow their stomachs to become
disordered, followed by constipation,
and finally inflammation has seized them
and they are victim to some dread
fever. Avoid all this by the prompt
use of the Pacific Pills the moment
they become languid and loose their
appetite. n22-lm
