Filter Your Cider.

If you want to have some cider that
is cider, that will keep well and taste
well, do this way: In the bottom of a
clean barrel Ga sugar barrel is best)
bore a lot of holes with half-ineh
auger. Place in the bottom a clean
piece of wooden cloth; piece of old
blanket will do if it is clean. Then put
in about an inch of charcoal broken up
quite fine, On this place three inches
of fine, clear sand; then put in another
Iayer of charcoal and then one of sand,
until Won get the barrel half full. Over
the top of the barrel put two thicknesses
of cloth for strainer 1--WE used a piece
of blanket for this), allowing it to sag
down pretty well, so it will hold about
two buckets of cider. Now set the bar
rel on two stats over . big tub in the
cellar near the cider barrels, and you
are ready for business. Draw off a
couple of buckets of cider and pour it
into the filter. 1t will take quite a
while for it to work through, so you do
not need to watch it; but whenever you
90 down cellar just pour in couple of
bucketsful drawn from the cider barrel.
In this way you can filter a barrel or
two of cider with very little work. 1t
will come out clear and sparkling, free
of all the dirt and dregs that not only
spoil the taste, but by their dec 'mposi-
ton hasten the souring of the cider.
The cider will be enough better to pay
for the bother of the filtering, whether
sold or kept for home use.-N. f.. Home

Great Mems Stomachs.

The power to eat well and to digest
well is not an element of greatness, but
| it is often essential to the success of
great intellectual efforts, Involving as
in the forum-high and long-sustained
| feeling, and broad and comprehensive
argument. The brain is food digested /;
and thought, feeling, fancy, will and
| expression are possible, in their higher
| forms, only as the brain is well fed, just
| as well-fed muscles are essential to
a successful athlete. q
Luther had good digestion, and
could go to Worms through as many
''devils as there were tiles on the house
tops" and he was. moreover, as genial
as he was. heroic, and kept his house
| filled with joy and song.
Calvin's digestion was exceedingly
weak, and no warm sunshine played on
the grand, cold mountains of his
intellect and his theology.
Robert Hall, the great pulpit orator
of England, once exclaimed, 81 eat like
hog, and preach like hog"
Much in the character of DR.. johnson
is explained by the fact that he was in
the habit of taxing voracious stomach
to the utmost.
Carey, the cobbler, who, without any
academic education, became the found
er of modern missions, the translator of
the Bible into forty of the dialects OF
India, Professor of Sanscrit in the
British college at Fort William, and the
first Orientalist of the day, besides
doing enough other work to immortal
ize average men, was largely indebted
to a vigorous digestion that was never
abused. ----t-
Says the Medical News, speaking of
Carlyle, who began early to suffer from
dyspepsia, '.The gloomy view he took
of the constitution of modern society
was reflex of the mental depression
due to bad digestion. His ratings
and wailings over the degeneracy of
the times, his hopelessness of any i'm
provement, and his mean opinion of all
the literary men and women with whom
he came in contact, had their origin in
the same morbid state. "-Youth'S Conn.,

state of Rhode Island when she was a
little girl.
have heard him described so often
that could fancy 1 had seen him. He
was native of Guinea, and, with his
Iather and mother, had been sold when
baby to white traders He declared
MS own father to have beenia King, and
the prisoner of the one who sold him,
who had defeated him in battle.
1t was the story his mother told him
while they lived together in his child
J, hood. Ole Bung himself was supposed
to be one hundred and ten years old.
No one knew what his real name was.
He called himself Ole Bung, and had
been called so for fifty years or more
His wool was white as snow. He had
great mouth still full of teeth, and a
pair of eyes like those of seal, set in
mask of wrinkle carved ebony.
He was feeble and bent double, and
nobody ever gave him any work to do !;
but he was of the opinion that the fam
lily credit depended on him, and that
the two little girls-my grandmother
and her sister-could only be, well
brought up by his efforts. He called
them .'Little Mississes," and trotted
after them constantly, wrapping them in
shawls, and making them put their feet
on the little footstoves thea used every
where in winter, and in summer tanning
the flies away, and seeing generally to
their comfort.
He accompanied them to school and
L
know letter of the alphabet, he always
inquired as to their progress, and was
stern with them if he thought them negli-
gent, especially of French, music or
dancing. When the little girls were
about ten years old Ole Bung died. He
had been pottering about as usual all
day, and walked into the parlor with his
white apron or, only little more slowly
than usual. The little girls sat together
looking at some new toy, and he sat
down on the hearth rug at their feet.
cole Bung going blind" he said.
<tOld Bung can't see noffin."
The children called their mother, and
when she came he said to her, pleasantly
and calmly:
sole Bung going home. Ole Bung
done here. Going home quick"
, 2, He then took the children's little
white hands in his and said:
"When Ole Bung gone, go down eel
lar, look for loose brick. Take loose
: brick out. Find Bung's old stockings.
Ole Bung rich. Ole Bung give one
stocking to one little Missy, one to tod
der little Missy to remember Ole Bung
by. Ole Bung go home now. Hear de
angels calling, 'Bung-whar are you,
Ole Bung?"
Then he stretched himself out on the
rug and seemed to sleep.
His mistress put little stone over his
grave, with something of his story on it,
and later they looked for the loose brick
in the cellar. 1t was really there, and
two blue yarn stockings, full of small
coin, were hidden under it. 1t seemed
likely that Ole Bung had been saving all
his presents for a good many years, and
felt himself wealthy man. He had
saved, in all, perhaps fifty dollars, and
the stockings were both quite full

Brook trout, observes the Hartford
Coaeraaat, take perfectly naturally to salt
water-adding that in Connecticut the
streams which empty into Long Island
Sound furnish the largest trout that are
caught in the State, while some of the
heaviest and finest trout ever shown in
New York have been Long Island trout,
the best of which run up from the
ocean. The present writer has caught
trout in brackish streams near Great
South Bay, whose bite was as sluggish
as mud-sucker's, and the flesh of de-
cided salmon tint and very delicate
flavor.

Rats Invading Paris

Paris is just now suffering acutely
from an invasion of rats. When the
Seine rose during the recent floods it
drove ie rOngeur from the comfortable
nth and unholiness of his home in the
sewer. The elected army of rats has
billeted itself in more comfortable win
ter quarters in the Rue Dauphine, in the
Rue de Bac, the Rue des Saints-Peres,
for instance, taking possession with the
greatest GOODNESS, and maintaining strict
military order, as if in obedience to a
common General. The houses on the
river bank they have avoided, keeping
we'll to the boulevards. Unless some
propitious deity like the famous
''L'Hommi aux Rats in Hoffman's
story disperses them, no one knows
when the end will be. Some of the host
are said to be enormous in size, as big
as cats, says once chronicler, of unpar-
allied audacity, and with teeth long
enough and sharp enough to take a
piece clean out of a Deputy's leg with
impunity. They turn up in all sorts of
odd places-in boots, trousers, petit
coats, in boxes, drawers-and one bonnie
who resided Gur si1ienae nearly died
from the shock when she surprised an
enterprising rodent in her bed. How
ever, the h07T16les betes are not to have
it all their own way, for an opposing
array of all the available dogs and cats
is being levied, and the cafes are ring
