Care OF the Hands.

Every lady of refinement desires to
have soft, white hands. To secure
these is something of a problem to the
thrifty housekeeper who is proud of
doing her work and dong it we'll.
It should be remembered that perfect
cleanliness is the first step toward
beauty in the hands or anything else.
Every lady should immediately wash
her hands thoroughly after doing any
piece Of work that soils them. Dirt
should never be allowed to dry upon
the skin or get rubbed into its surface.
A bowl Of wheat bran, or corn meal
shouid stand beside the soap dish In the
kitchen sink. A small quantity thor
oughly rubbed over the hands while
wet helps to whiten and soften them.
Rubber gloves are also an excellent
protection while washing dishes and
doing similar work. Concerning the
farther identifying Of the hands Frances
Stevens has the following TO seq in the

ThouGhtfulness =.

1t was delightful to hear some one
say, not long ago, that she did not think
she had any right to spend two hours at
a time with a friend, without a special
invitation, since it could not fail to be
an interruption; and it was pleasant to
think that one person so respected the
rights of others. Picture some one,
who has assured himself that lie is not
likely to find amusement under his own
roof, setting forth in search of a more
agreeable place 70 spend the evening.
He hunts from door to door; finding
that one family has honestly paid its
money and gone to a play, another is
dining out, the third enjoying its in
vited guest, while at the fourth he is
met at sight with the information that
the ladies are engaged. Perhaps at
the fifth he gains an admittance. One
person rises hurriedly from the sofa.
another puts down her book with q
sigh, another comes reluctantly from a
desk, where some notes must be writ
ten at some time during that even
ing, and the stricken group resigns
itself to the demands of friend
ship and society. The master of the
house returns presently to his avocation
with a brave excuse, 1t may be 8
o'clock when the guest comes; it may be
8, and he may be kind hearted and
unoblectionable he may even be profit
able and entertaining; but he stays till
after 10; everybody thinks that he never
means to 60, and inwardly regrets his
presence. For half an hour he could
have felt sure of welcome; in that time
he certainly could have said and done
all that was worth doing, and have been
asked to stay longer, or to come again
soon, when he took his leave. There is
no greater compliment and tribute to
ones integrity than to be fairly entreat-
ed to sit down for ten minutes longer.
OF course we treat each other civilly IN
an evening visit, but it is a great deal
better to come away too soon than to
stay too late. In q busy, overworked,
and overturned city life especially,
nothing is so precious as a quiet even

At the American Cranberry Growers

on August 26, the Statistician stated
that reports from all the cranberry
growing sections indicate an aggregate
crop of $50 900 bushels, against nearly

is due to the frosts on May 1890, which

The Poultry Monthly says that when
the snow lies deep on the ground a
place should be cleaned in front of the
fowl house and make paths to some sun
ny and sheltry spots where they can bask
and enjoy themselves during the warm
er hours of the day. Some straw or
leaves to stand on would be advisable
while summing, for if their feet are cold
from the frozen ground they will not
exercise themselves, but will squat down
and remain ~listless and uncomfortable.
1t is in the power of every poultryman
to make his fowls more cheerful and
comfortable when they venture out on
the snow by fixing some shelter closed
at the sides, the front opening to the
south, where they can go sunny days.
Any kind of o lean-to where leaves and
rubbish could be strewn to give them
exercise, and where the air is pure, will
answer the purpose admirably well.

no option about non-registered letters,

Terrible ocean Disaster.

Sambro ledge, the spot where eleven years
ago $40 persons persisted at the wreck of the
Atlantic, is again the scene of another terrible
disaster. On Thursday night the steamer
Daniel Steinmann from Antwerp to New York,
while trying to make the Halifax harbor during
a dense fog, struck the rocks and sunk. OF
the 100 or more persons on board 124 are re-
ported lost Most Of the passengers were
steerage.
The latest in regard to the wrecked steamer
is that of the crew Of thirty mine and captain
and ninety passengers, only nine reached shore
sengers. These are still on Sambro island, .
The Daniel Steinmann was built ct Antwerp
in 1876. She was III feet long, "a feet beam
and IS feet depth OF hold. Her gross tonnage
was 1,7S5 tons. Her name was formerly the
Khedive. She has been running in the White
Cross line since 1879 At one time abe was
considered o very tlucky" vessel, but during
the last two or three years she has lost this
reputation.
This calamity is in . measure q somewhat
peculiar coincident On April, 1873, or eleven
years and two days previous to the disaster
above mentioned, the steamer Atlantic, of the
White Star line, bound from Liverpool for New
York, was wrecked on the rocks at the same
spot, Sambro head, and $40 persons persisted.
Few persons will soon forget that dreadful dis
aster. with one or two exceptions the greatest

the Atlantic's fate was te~legraphed throughout
the country it was by many regarded IS an
April fool joke, and it was some little time be-
