ing to see the BOYS enter with their
whole hearts into the fun, growing more
bold as they warmed to it and making
each successive "step" Tor feat) more
calculated to challenge admiration than
the one preceding. There was not a still
foot on the ground. Unable to contain
herself at last, the girl Dilsey shrieked
out a cackling laugh and Joined the
dancers. Others followed, and finally
Aunt Calline. Even Uncle Peter and
staid old Maum Chloe were unable to
preserve their dignity.
But to really "pat Juba" was not to
beat time alone; but at the same time to
sing or chant certain bomely rhymes.
This Uncle Tony and the leaders did
with words as follows:

And so on, through many verses, the
native ingenuity of the singers often en-
abling them to devise new rhymes or
the spur of the moment, which some
times attributed to the illustrlous "Juba'
qualities as ludicrous as unlikely.
A merry time they had of it. and the
ewes of the little white boy sitting upon

joyment and desire to Join actively in

CHRISTMAS CAROL.

There's a song in the air.
There's star in the sky!
There's q mothers deep PRAYER,
And baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the besuti-
full sing,
For the manger Of Bethlehem cradles q
king.
In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled;
Aud that song from afar
Has swept over the world.
Every hearth is afsme, and the beautiful
sins
In the homes OF the nations that Jesus is
King.

Merry, rosy little maiden,

And thy heart o'erfiows with rapture

FARM AND FIRESIDR.

Land that is too poor for clover will
grow rye, and the rye plowed down can
be followed with clover. y PrGiri,
Farmer.
"A strong solution Of oxalic acid
will remove dry paint. After you have
tried everything else without success,
try this. Boston Globe.
"A wise and experienced house
keeper says: "Doing everything as vol
as possible always saves labor in house
keeping"
Always see that at night your
setting hens are on their nests, and
that they are secure from sudden rain
storms, o. your young broods may be
drowned.--M Y. Times.
Fat pigs suffer greatly from the
heat in the summer. When yarded and
access to water in which to roll in is
denied, their yard should be partially
shaded by trees.
Excellent dressing for chopped
cabbage is made by heating a small
cup Of vinegar with lump of butter or
a well-beaten egg; salt and pepper to
suit your taste. Pour while hot over
cabbage. Exchange.
If you do not feed meat to your
hens they will eat their feathers.
Smash bones SO that they can get at the
marrow. Buy scraps at the butchers,
livers, bones, with little meat on, in
fact anything with meat on. We
| generally cook meat and add meal and
bran to the water, enough to take it all
up; or, yet better, if you have potatoes
cook them with the meat. That is
about the only way that hens will eat
potatoes. That is, when cooked with
something. M Y Herald.
The chief reason why the oil cloth
on the kitchen floor wears out so soon,
and makes it heavy expense to keep
it in good condition, is this: when it is
washed it is not conscientiously dried;
patches here and there are left moist,
| and the cloth soon becomes rotten, the
coating peels of, and all comfort from
having neat kitchen floor is dispensed
with. A flannel mop will do wonders
in the way of drying the floor. 1t
shoald be of old, soft flannel, but there
must also be desire on the part of the
one using the mop to do the work as it
should be done, and she must be willing
to take cloth in her hand with which
to dry the corners. N. Y. Post.

Some two months ago 1 was afflicted
with Inflammation OF the eyes. I was con-
fined to the house and compelled to stay in
a dark room. Being so confined l was at
tackled with Fever and Ague. My physi.
clan dosed me with quinine until my hea-'
ing was affected and still every seven days
another attack would come on. Mean
while, was afraid l would lose my eye
sight. In this awful condition, my father
advised me to take eleven BRANDRETH's
PILLS at night. They acted very power
fully, and then felt weak, but l was much
better. I passed four very bilious stools.
The next night took four more Pills.
These acted but twice. My eyes were very
much better. 1 continued taking three
every night for week, when l returned
to work entirely well. My eyes required
shade for about a month. l had no more
Fever and Ague. w. B. LEAHY.

Carpet-Beating.

We have no wish to decry this peri
ode publication, Tut merely to point
out rules for its better conduct and
efficiency. Tie usual process in house
holds which can not afford to have it
carried out by special agency is first to
take up the carpets and sweep the wal $
and ceilings, aud then to wash the
floors. While the latter are ar. ing,
work must be found for the idle hands,
and they tan not be better employed
than In beating the carpets in the
courtyard or back garden, work at
tended with horrid din and clouds of
dust, 1t will be unavail,ng, we know,
to complain o. the noise-no appeal in
this direction will gain moments
sympathy; but we hope more atten-
ton wi be paid to the other nuisance.
" hen we refle ON the nature of the
dust thus raised, we are surprised that
sane persons allow to be thus stirred up
under their noses all the nauseous ac-
cumulations OF dining-room, bedroom
and stair carpets, to say nothing OF
door-mats, etc, into q fine dust, AID
which, thus dispersed, finds its way
again into cur houses in form most
readily accessible to our respiratory or
gans. Indeed, ID is fortunate ii the
dust thus reused is only nauseous and
not infective. since the desquamated
cuticle of scarlet fever, the scabs OF
smallpox. the dried sputa of consump-
tive or whooping-cough patients, living
parasites, and hairs from NANCY cats
and dogs may thus invade our rooms.
Carpet-beating should, in any form, be
prohibited within a reasonable distance
Of dwelling-houses.- Lancet.

A REMEDY that has proven itself a never
failing cure for scrofula and ali syphilitiC
disorders must quickly cure less terrible
blood diseases. DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock
and Sarsaparilla is such a perfect blood
purifier and strengthened of bodily func
tions, that it cures the above diseases even
when Hot Springs and all other treatment
has failed. Remember, it is absolutely
free from mineral poisons, and will not in
jure the most delicate constitution. Its
use will make you feel buoyant, strong anc
well, and will rid your system of all blood
impurities and every internal and externa
indication of disease.

CURE OF FEVER ND AeuE.

kAcKENsACK, N. j.. February 9th, 1884.
have been troubled with Fever and
Ague for upwards of two years. 1 have
taken about three pounds of quinine, I
think, but could no. shake Off the shakes.
One day, finding myself very constipated,
took six BRANDRETH's PILLS on going to
bed. They acted very fully. To my surprise
Ibid not have any chills the next day; so I
took six more Pills the next night. Ga the
following morning 1 found myself much
stronger and with considerable appetite,
and no Ague. Icontinued taking the Pills
for ten days, when found myself entirely
well, and have remained so ever since.

in many places on the Pacific Coast
they are now getting up what are called
tasket and weight socials. The pro-
gramme for such party reads about
as follows; Each lady will bring 3
