JsrrY and Joe.

Tho death Of the late Judge j. 8.
Black has brought mp an incident that
occurred in New York in 1857. The
writer was little call-boy ut the Astor
House at the time. and Judge J. s.
Black. the new Attorney General of tie
United States had arrived, His rooms
were thronged with the great and dis
tinguished politicians. The next day
there arrireaa.a small gray-haired old
gentleman from the West. He register
ed as Judge j. Williams, Iowa, For a
few minutes he looked over the register
and the little boy wi,o was waiting for
an order noticed that all at once he
gave a start and asked for card. This
card read rs follows "The Supreme
Judge OF Iowa presents his compi-
ments to the Attorney General of the
United States" aud taking up = half
sheet Of paper. Judge Williams wrote
the following:
On Jerry. dear Jerry, I've found you at last,
And memory. burdcned with scenes OF the
past,
neturus to old semerssts mountains Of snow.
When. you was but Derry and Twas but doe.
In less than three minutes the great.
dignified Judge Black was coming down
the stairs two steps at = time, and the
little belt-bny ip close pursuit. The
scene in the Office of the Astor
House will always he remembered by
those VINO were SO fortunate as to DO
witnesses. Two old school mates and
law students were together after sep
aration Of some thirty years. Two old
men embraced each other and neither

of the American bar, that have sprung
up from humble origin, can be found

Even in the kitchen inventive genius
has gained strong foothold, entirely
Isurping the primitive methods prac-
ticed by our grandmothers in the per-
formance of their domestic duties. Me-
chanical contrivances Of all kinds sup
ply what in former years required deft-
ness. Griddles themselves do the cake
turning. Eggs are beaten by q crank;

ground by machinery. but the drink

siderately whistles when the beverage

open work basket is set in pan of fat
with the article to be fried in it. The
pan Is furnished with high handle
with Il hook in the middle. The instant
the thing to be cooked has assumed the
delicate golden brown appropriate to
viands cooked in this way the basket is
lifted and hung upon the hook to drip
and dry. There is no marring of the
symmetry of outline of the fragile deli

To those unsuccessful ones who have

In an editorial on the superiority of
cry schoo ) over country schools in the
state OF New York, the Albany journal
says; The, true pedagogue does not
teach in the country schools now SO
often rs he did fifty years ago. Ac-
adenic scholars and normal graduates
are not found there either. Country
school teaching is a poorly paid make
shift at the best nowadays. and the
country boy and girl are cheated the
worst on account OF it. Besides, city
schools cover a period of nearly forty
weeks, and rural enly twenty-cight. 1t is
true there are only seventy-six log
school-houses left in the state. but the
Old frame structures contain thousands
of sticks The city scholar has much
the best of it, and he does we'll if he
takes advantage of his opportunities.

Useful Hints.


IN choosing black silk, ladies are
often at loss for some test which will
secure them from being deceived in the
quality. In such a difficulty pinch the
goods ION the cross" and then pull it
10 the opposite direction. ii the crease
still shows, reject that piece at once;
but If it smooths out entirely. and the
crease disappears it is safe to purchase.
The color should be GLOSSY biue-black

thorough rest during the afternoon.
Care like this, which seems to be but
trifling, to preserve the health, really
makes q great difference in the aggre-
gate of ones life.
Keep dish of Indian meal ON the
toilet stand near the soap, and rub the
meal freely on the hands after soaping
them for washing. 1t will surprise you
it you have not tried 1t, to find how it
will cleanse and soften the skin, and
prevent chapping.
it is better nc. 20 put wooden carpet
in the closets, as being dark and quiet
moths and other vermin are more apt
to collect. Straw mating or oilcloth
is much more easily kept in order.
Even heavy brown wrapping paper is
not bad substitute for carpet in
closets but little used.
Make small square bag of flannel
leaving one end partly open. In this
put all the remnants of soap rs the pieces
become too small to handle easily.
When the bag is filed, baste up the
opening, and it makes good bath-tub
arrangement.
To wash chamois skins use cold water
with plenty of soap, and rinse well in
clear cold water; thus treated, the skin
will never be hard. but soft and pliablc
If the houseplants are becoming pale
and sickly, dose of ammonia, few
drops in the water you water them with
will revive them like magic. 1t is the
concentrated essence of fertilizers, and
acts upon plant life as tonics and sea
