The Uses of Lemons.

Lemons are most valuable fruit,
not only for cooking, but also for
medicinal purposes and the toilet.
If the juice of a lemon is taken every
morning before breakfast, for two or
three weeks, in the spring time, it
will prevent the disagreable feeling
of weakness and want of energy
peculiar to the season. Lemon
juice made thick with sugar and
little salt, will relieve hoarseness
and heal a hacking cough. A piece
of lemon-peel, with pulp attached,
if bound upon corn, will relieve 1t
in a few days. It is also an excel
lent remedy for chills and fever, and
if teaspoonful of sugar and a large
pinch of salt is stirred up with the
pulp and eaten with spoon every
morning it will break up malarial
troubles. AS a cosmetic, it is of
great service in removing freckles
and sunburn. Apply the pulp and
juice at night to the face and hands,
and wash off with water in the morn
ing. 1t is also valuable for its
power to detect any dangerous in
gradients in cosmetics, powders or
liquids. Place teaspoonful of the
cosmetic in wine-glass, and
squeeze some lemon-juice upon it;
if it effervesces, it is a sure proof
that the cosmetic is dangerous, and
would utterly ruin the complexion.
For smallpox lemonjuice is also
highly recommended, the patient
being allowed to drink freely of
and to suck the clear
juice if palasable. In all fevers the
juice of lemons is of decided assist
ance.

May I Kiss That Babyp''

To a soldier, far away from home,
there is no more touching sight than
that of a baby in its mothers arms.
While on their way to Gettysburg
our troops were marching by night
through a village over whose gate
ways hung lighted lanterns, while
young girls shed tears as they
watched the brothers of other wo
men march on to possible death.
A scene of the march is thus de-
scribed by the author of "Bullet
and She'll"
Stopping for moment at the gate
of a dwelling, | noticed a young
mother leaning over it with a club
by child in her arms. Above the
woman's head hung a couple of
stable-lanterns, their light falling up
on her face The child was crow
ing with delight at the strange
as it watched the armed
host pass on. 81 beg your pardon,
ma'am," said Jim Manners, one Of
my men, as he dropped the butt of
his musket on the ground, and
peered wistfully into the faces of
the mother and her child. 81 beg
pardon, but may l kiss that baby of
yours? I've got one just like him
at home, at least he was when I last
saw him, two years ago" The
mother, a sympathetic tear rolling
down her blooming check, silently
held out the child. Jim pressed his
unshaven face TO its innocent, smil-
ing lips for moment, and then
walked on, saying: "God bless you,
am, for that" Poor Jim. Man
ners! He never saw his boy again
IN life. A bullet laid him low the
next day as we made our first
charge.-Youth's Companion.

Happiness is in the Strife.

The most unsatisfactory thing In
life is success. 1t sounds paradox
cal to say so, but it is profoundly
true. The only thing about it that
is worth the having is the struggle
for it, and when it is attained the
predominant feeling Is a question as
to whether it is worth the effort.
Nine successful men out of ten, if
they told the truth, would say that
it was not, still if they had to live
their lives over again they would
struggle every bit as hard, because
it was in them to do it and the
struggle was the only part of the
game worth having. 1t kept them
alive, and once so successful that
nothing lay ahead, they become
morbid, dissatisfied and restless.

To Keep Errs.

l.. Eggs may be kept for an in
definite time if packed when quite
fresh in boxes with rock alum in
shape like rock salt. Put in thick
layer of alum, then the eggs, small
end down, cover with alum around
and over them, and keep in q cool,
dry place. 2. Slack fresh lime
with boiling water; when cold, thin
with cold water to the thickness of
cream. Pack the eggs, small end
down, in a barrel or in stone jars,
then pour on the cold whitewash
covering the eggs. Care must be
used in taking them out, as they are
easily cracked. This has been used
with success for forty years. g.
Three gallons of water, one pint
fresh Stacked lime, one half pint salt.
Use perfectly fresh eggs with sound
shells. If more lime Is put in it
eats the shell; if more salt it hard
ems the yolks. Put them in care
fully, they will keep perfectly good
for a year or more. T. Hold per-
fectly fresh eggs in boiling water
while counting six. A wire basket
can be used for this purpose. Be
sure to have water enough to entire
ly cover the eggs. Let them dry
and cool, then pack in oats. Put a
layer of oats on the bottom of the
key or barrel sufficient to support
the eggs. Pack them closely, small
end down, and proceed till the bar
rel is filled. Shake it gently to set
tie oats and eggs firmly. This
method has given eggs a year after
packing, in as good state of
preservation as when first packed,
in answer to several inquiries.

Sheep FARMING.

Despite the constant attention
which is called to the value of
sheep, not only as improvers of the
land, but as profitable farm animals
for wool and mutton, there are
many farmers who have not raised
orikept single sheep, though. their
farms are adapted to raising sheep
largely and profitably. Why this
is we can not imagine, for facts and
figures can be had by the score to
prove the profitableness of sheep
breeding, if necessary, and about
the only drawback, in many locali-
ties, is the loss occasioned by dogs.
Many q rough, WORKOUT, or neg
lected farm might be brought up
rapidly, and be made paying land
by breeding sheep thereon, as the
manure from the sheep is one of
the most enriching of manures and
is evenly and finely distributed.
OF course they may not do this
without being fed something be-
sides what they can get in the
fields, yet this additional food works
to the profit of the breeder in two
ways--it not only insures a good
and profitable growth of flesh and
wool, but it makes the manure rich
er and more valuable. Even poor
farmers can give sheep a trial, by
commencing in a small way and
then as means and experience are
gained, the focks can be gradually
increased by purchases, though the
natural increase from a small flock
of sheep is by no means inconsider-
able, if properly managed and cared
for as they should be. Like any
other kind of stock, they must have
good care and food to secure the
greatest measure of profit Phila-
delphia Farm and Garden.

The BEGINNING and the End.

1t began this way: Two boys
came to the city from the country.
They left home with kindly words of
advice ringing in their ears. Their
parents babe them remember the
good counsel given them in youth,
and earnestly entreated them to re-
sist the many temptations which the
city would place before them. And
they promised to remember the
words of loving counsel, and went
out from the hearthstone of home
to face the world and fight the bat
tie of life, brave of heart and hope
full of overcoming in the strife.
One day they were going by sa-
loon. On the screen, which stood
a little way back from the open
doors hiding from the Passers- by
what took place within, was dis
played a card which was written:
Fresh lemonade. Only five cents
glass"
"a glass of lemonade would taste
good this hot day. said John.
"Let's go in and get some"
- d like the lemonade well
enough" said Philip, "but l really
don't fancy the idea of going to
saloon to get it"
"PshawT' laughed John. "What
difference does it make whether you
buy your lemonade here or some
where elsep We needn't drink any
thing else if we don't want to-
81 know that" answered Philip,
hesitatingly. Il was thinking that
father wouldn't like it If he knew.
He's opposed to saloons, you know"
Eyes, but how's he to know any
thing about lt?" urged JOHN
"Come on Pll pay for the lem
onade.' And he drew his compant
ion into the saloon.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1883-07-05

They drank their lemonade. The
proprietor exerted himself to make
their call pleasant, and when they
were going he urged them to have
another drink.
Better have something in it to
give it the right kind of flavor" he
said smilingly.
"All right" said John; and the
man poured some of the contents
of long-necked bottle into each
glass. The boys drank it down.
The liquor was strong enough to
produce considerable effect upon
them. 1t made them 'jolly," they
told each other; but 1 don't think
either of them would have called
the effect that if they could have
foreseen what the end would be.
Well they went to that saloon
again. 1t was not long before they
felt kind of contempt for a man
who would drink anything as mild
as lemonade That might do for
boys, but they were men and they
could drink whisky and brandy and
gin. And they could smoke, and
play cards and billiards, and talk
slang. This kind of an education
is acquired with wonderful rapid
ity. In six months they were good
in the school of ruin.
The END came to one or two
years ago. In drunken brawl he
was stabbed to the heart. To the
other the end came only last week
Died of delirium tremens," a friend
said.
1t is sad to think that daily boys
are beginning this kind of life, and
sadder to think what the end may
be. o boys! be careful, be careful.

laughed at so much that he left the

The New York World observes
that ex-senator Conkling is not
alone among republicans in pre-
dieting the success of the demo
Gratis in the next presidential cleo
ton. The country has expressed
its verdict in favor of the return of
the democrats to power. The demo
Gratis elected Tilden. They have
revolutionized congress. In the
last general election and in the
spring elections they swept every
thing before them. There is no
question as to their power to elect
the next president. The question
is as to- their power to secure the re-
suit of a popular verdict.

SINGLE Woman.

8 clever old maid once said that
it was far better to be laughed at
because you were not married than
to be able to laugh because you
were. There is sound logic in that.
It is well for wo man to marry if
she meets a good true man who
loves her and whom she loves; but
if she be not suited, better remain
single. The majority of old maids
are lovable, helpful and sweet tenn
pered, and fill their allotted niche
as acceptably as do their married
sisters. Are they not more to be
honored than they would have
been had they married merely for a
home or position? Our young la
dies have erroneous ideas upon this
subject. They feel almost dis
graced if they have arrived at
mature age and are not yet able
to write Mrs. before their names.
Their whole ambition is to get a
husband, by hook or crook, but get
him somehow they must. Conse-
quently they take the first man
who offers himself, whether he real
ly suits them or not. Now, girls,
do not marry in haste. Get the
best education possible, help about
domestic affairs, and enter upon
some trade or profession Tor which
you have a taste and master it.
Skilled labor is always well paid.
Don't spend your time repihing be-
cause you cannot see the coming
man. you never see him, you
can live useful, happy lives. You
think if you had a husband, you
would have a strong arm on which
to lean, q sharer of sorrow
and trouble Alari many slender
woman has had not only to stand
alone, but also to serve as a prop
for children and husband, and very
few wives find in their husbands all
the sympathy and companionship
they desire. If you are good for
anything you will not be hurt by
remaining single, neither will you
be elevated by becoming Johns
WIFE" Do your duty in life and
you will count for one in the world,

LUMBER.


We are informed by gentleman, who i.
| in the lumber business and recently came
| from the headwaters of the Kennebec, hav.
ing visited a large number of camps there,
that the cut of logs on the river and its trib
utaries is not so large as usual. He accounts
for it from the fact that the SHOWS have been
| very deep and the weather being so extreme.
| ly cold, men have not been able to accom-
plish so much as usual. Besides this, sled
ding was so hard that by the first of March,
which month is usually the best during the
| season for numbering. the teams were very
| thin and unable to do the work usually done
logs came down the Kennebec, it is now esfi-
mated that not over 100, OO0, 900 will be run
this season. While in Bangor the stock of
lumber now on hand is lighter than one year
ago, on the Kennebec it is larger. Especially
is the stock of logs on our river large. Near
ly all the mills have enough on hand to sup
ply them until the new ones arrive. The
drouth which has prevailed for so many
on the river. Mills located on inconsiderable
streams were obliged to shut down for want
of water. and consequently farmers and
others hauled their logs to the river where
there were mills supplied with an abundance
of power. During the past winter Sturgis,
Lambard < Co. alone have sawed something
like 800 000 feet of lumber. all custom work,
done for farmers, outside of their regular
business. The lumber market, the coming
spring. promises to be quite brisk. There
will undoubtedly be good demand from
New York and Sound ports. In the local
retail market there has been a very
good call the present spring, although the
season for building has not fairly arrived AZ
yet. 1t is believed that the number of build
inss to be erected this spring will be quite as
large, if not larger, than usual Dimension
spruce is selling at Sl2 and Sl4 thousand.
Pine is not plenty. The best clear is worth
from $50 to $40 per thousand, while a very
good article for house finishing can be pur-
chased for $50. In the shingle line extras
bring 81, clear So 80, extra No. 81, No. !
Sl.75. Clapboards, dressed, sell for $l2, $50
s26 and $50 per thousand, as to quality. Lathes
although worth 81 60 a thousand in New
York. can be bought here at 80. 1t costs so
cents per thousand to ship lathes to the
aforementioned city.
