The Stingiest Man Alive.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean says: GA shoe factory failed,
and the old man went over when they
sold the assests at auction. He bought
wagon load of shoe pegs, brought
them home and put them in an oat bin.
When the farmer put up his horse the
old man would give the animal four
quarts of shoe pegs and charge fifty
cents for them. 1t was a dark barn,
and the owner couldn't tell them from
oats. Of course the horses wouldn't eat
any, and the farmer would get scared
because they had lost their appetites.
The old man had a mixture he recon-
mended in such cases, and which he had
at fifty cents bottle. 1t was harmless
stuff, and was made by stirring up this
tie tops or something of that sort, but
it had great reputation, for the horses
would be given a dose before they star
ted, and another when they got home,
and, having had nothing but shoe pegs
all day, they were hungry enough to eat
their own heads off by the time they got
a taste of oats. The credit of the ap-
petite was given to the medicine, oi
course, and the old man got big rep
utation, as horse doctor, and made a
mint of money out of his thistle top

tell him that you share his suffering.
Ingenious attempts to explain to him
that he is probably exaggerating the
greatness of the calamity that has fallen
upon him, and overlooking considera-
tions that might lessen his distress, will
probably produce resentment. He will
feel that he knows more about it than you
do, and that you are presumptuous, i'm
pertinent, sacreligious in your attempts
to measure the exact limits of his trou-
BILE and to determine what ought to be
the limits of his grief. What he wants
is not your ingenious philosophy, but
just touch of your heart. Some peo-
pie have what may be called the gift of
sympathy, and charming gift it is
Easily, naturally, without effort, they

Cleaning Mirrors and Pictures.

Never wash mirrors with a cloth, but
after removing all dust from the mirror
and frame with an old silk handkerchief
or feather duster, damp an old newspa-
per and rub the surface of the mirror
until perfectly clear and free from spots;
then wipe off all the moisture with dry
paper, and the mirror will be as clear as
glass can be-withont NOTES or streaks,
as is the case when it is washed and
polished with cloth. When the chro-
mos require cleaning, remove all dust
with feather brush, and wipe carefully
with soft chamois skin or fine linen
cloth, very slightly dampened. Ifa lit
tie spotted or dull, drop of oil on the
chamois will remove it. If the varnish is
dull or rubbed off, revarnish it with thin
mastic varnish. Like oil paintings, it
is not desirable to hang chromos in
dark room, but never expose them to
the direct rays of the sun.

Little Things.
Golden Days.

There is barn upon the Allegheny
mountains so built that the rain which
falls upon it separates in such a man
ner that that which falls on one side OF
the roof runs into a little stream which
flows into the Susquehanna, and thence
into the Chesapeake Bay and on into
the Atlantic Ocean. That which falls
ON the other side is carried into the
Ohio, and onward to the Gulf of
Mexico.
The point where the water divides is
very small. But how different the
course of these waters
So it happens with people. A very
little thing changes the channel of their
lives. Much depends upon the kind of
tempers we have. If we are sour and
ill-tempered, no one will love us. If
we are kind and cheerful we shall have
friends wherever we go. Much depends
upon the way in which we improve our
school days. Much depends upon the
kind of comrades we have, much upon
the kind of habits we form. IF we would
have the right kind of life, we must
watch the little things. We must see
how one little act takes in as many
others.

There are some flowers that shut
themselves at night, as if to go to sleep,
and open again in the morning. Tulips
do this. l was admiring in the morn
ing some flowers that were sent to me
the evening before by lady. Among
them were some tulips, and out of these,
as they opened, flew bumble-bee. A
lazy, droning bee to be caught in this
way as the flower was closing itself for
the night. Or, perhaps, he had done
hard days work in gathering honey,
and just at night was SO sleepy that he
stayed too long in the tulip and so was
shut in. A very elegant bed the bee
had that night. / wonder if he slept
any better than he would have done if
he had been in his homely nest1

among the flowers that close at night,

stem when it wakes in the morning
When it shuts itself up it is little green
ball, and looks something like pea
But look the next morning, and the ball
is opened, and shows a golden tuft

The golden flowers of the dandelion
are shut up every night. They are
folded up so closely in their green COW
erings that they look like buds that had
never been opened.
There is one curious habit which
dandelion has. When the sun is
extremely hot it closes itself up to

sheltered in its green covering from the
sun. 1t sometimes, when the weather
is very hot, shuts itself up as early as
nine o'clock in the morning.
Some flowers hang down their heads
at night as if they were nodding in
their sleep, but in the morning they
lift them up again to welcome the light.
Some flowers have peculiar time to
open. The evening primrose does not
open till evening, and hence comes its
name. The flower named four O'Clock
opens at that hour in the afternoon.
There is a flower commonly called Co.
to-bed at-noon, that always opens in
the morning and shuts up at noon.

nothing, for no one felt afraid of scraps
done over by Janet's hand.
"We never were so comfortable be.

"We never had such good things to
eat," declared the boys, who highly ap-
preciated the dainty, though plain cook
cry, as contrasted with Bridget's greasy
preparations; for Janet, full of an hon
est determination to earn her wages,
had given much attention to the getting
up of palatable, inexpensive dishes, seek
ing variety where Bridget had moved
in one groove.

back" said mother.
But the time came when she was hour
ly expected. Mother sighed as she
took note of the spotless kitchen, in
which it was now pleasant to come and
lend hand at the cookery or sit with
her knitting while Janet moved briskly
about.
"It's time was settling with you

'You don't, mother dear!" said Janet
in great delight; "thenyou renot tired
of your new girl and anxious to have
Bridget back?"
"No, indeed" said mother, fervent-
ly.
'Then she isn't coming back. I've
found my ways of earning, and I'm

And Janet worked on, feeling sure
she had found her best way of securing
her pocket-money in this expending of

Hints for Those Who Indulge in Colloquial
Phrases, Which Will be for Their
Improvement.

The people of the United States have
a marvellous faculty for inventing
phrases for colloquial use. 1t must also
be said that they acquire the habit of
employing good old English words in
a sense alien to their original meaning.
Clever for example, has come to be
employed in the sense of Smart SO
as to deceive and defraud; and 'cun-
ning,' is often used in the worst sense
although young ladies, by way of ex-
pressing admiration of some pretty OBJ
ject or contrivance, will say 1T is real
cunning or 1T is too cunning for
anything. The word elegant is
sometimes employed to describe the
weather or a dish at table, and it will
be said that 1T is elegant eating al
though in justice to American proprie-
ties, it must be owned that such an en-
ployment of the word is not general.
Kind wishes for one about to go on a
journey or to party of pleasure are con-
veyed by the expression that he may
have "a real good time or "a good
high time while gushing girls sum up
their sense of enjoyment in the phrase
perfectly splendid;' or, if the cata-
logue of eulogy seems exhausted, they
will affirm that such one or such an
object is too good for anything
If listener fails to catch the mean
ing, the probability is that he will in
terject the inquiry, 'How7' or if he
desires to express mingled surprise and
delight he will remark, at the conclu-
sion of statement, 'Now, 1 want to
know meaning thereby that he has
gained the information from what he
has just been told; or he may vary the
phrase by saying, Dew tell OF
course it is not meant that all these col
loquialisms and many others which
might be quoted are used by all classes
and in every locality. Some of them
are restricted to places and persons, and
are as provincial as the dialects and terms
common in Yorkshire or Somerset. A
New Englander, western man or a
southerner can usually be detected by
certain expressions, and much innocent
fun is often got out of these. In some
respects Americans may be said to use
English propositions with special accu-
racy. They speak of house being 'on
the street, or of meeting person on,
instead of in, the street. A letter in a
certain newspaper appears 'over' a GER
tain signature. Avisit is paid 'to the sea-
Shore not to the seaside. The railway
is always called the railroad, and the
line of rails is the track A shop is
designated store and different kinds
of vehicles are denoted by horse car
and steam car Railway termini as sta
tions are styled 'depots;' the guard of
train is conductor and telegraph
clerk is an operator And so on to any
extent.

Caught.
BY CHARLES W. NEvIN

I know a maid, and when I tell
Why it is love her well,
I'll watch your face, and if you frown,
Or smile, or cast your blue eyes down,
This then sign will be to me
Of how sly Love has treated thee.
She is not tall, and yet her mien
Would worthily become queen.
If Juno should beside her stand
And DER her wave her mystic wand,
Her face might then perhaps appear
More fair, but not to me more dear.
Her teeth-but then, ah, why persue it
Were beauty all, then might rue it.
But when come, her eyes behold me,
And Love and Trust and Hope enfold me.
Does restless curiosity
Ask who this love Of mine can be?
You do not shrink, you do not frown,
But blushingly your eyes cast down.
Yet spare each blush, know full well
You mean not what they plainly tell.
saw you bent upon deceiving,
And playing football with my heart.
To lead you on then to believing
loved you, was IN honest part.
Now go and tell your master Cupid,
Time laughs and calls his creatures stupid.

For Cooking Beefsteak.

This rhyming receipt for cooking beef
steak is contributed:
Put your beefsteak in the boiler,
Put your butter on the dish;
When the beef begins to sizzle,
Then just plump that into this;
Sprinkle both with salt and pepper;
Broil your beefsteak nice and browni
Law it both sides on the butter;
Let its juice that butter drown.
Don't serve till at the table
All the folks are sitting down;
Then you surely will be able
To claim cooks renown.

Sweet little sensitive mouth.

To dance the glad hours away!
Hair "a rich golden brown
Eyes liquid sapphires to me-
Teeth kings might barter crown
For such pearls from tropical sea!

Twenty-Five summers ago.
She was my sweetheart year
