PAY as You Co."

This well-known sign of the toll
gate-in the opinion of the Hearth
stone, Farm and Nation-is the best
of all rules for successful housekeep-
ing and making both ends of the
year meet. Beyond all countries in
the world, ours is the one in which
the credit system is the most used
and abused. Pass-hooks are the bane
and pest of domestic economy-a per-
petual plague, vexation and swindle.
Abused by the servants at the store
and house, disputed constantly by
housekeepers and dealers, they are
temptations to both parties to do
wrong. 81 never had that" eve
neglected to enter this" 81 forgot
to bring the book" "Never mind,
We'll make note of it," and so it
goes. The worst of it is that house
keepers are tempted to order what
they have not the means to pay for
and when the time comes to settle
they are straitened. A family can
live respectfully on very moderate
income, if they always take the cash
in hand and buy where they can buy
to the best advantage. Then they
will be careful first to get what is
necessary. Extra comforts will be
had if they can afford them. But ii
is bad policy to buy on credit. Nc
wise dealer sells so cheaply on credit
as for cash.

Keeping Apples.

Mr.. j. j. Thomas, the horticultural
editor Of the Country Gentlemen, has
kept apples wrapped singly in papers,
as recently recommended by our cor
respondent DIR. Reynolds. and found
the wrapping an advantage. But
Mr.. Thomas placed his apples on
shelves instead of in barrels. The
paper prevented currents of air from
absorbing the moisture, and also kept
the fruit at more even temperature.
A method which he likes better is to
provide shallow boxes or trays of
uniform size, and only deep enough
for one layer Of fruit. When choice
apples are placed in the boxes, they
can be piled up one upon another,
excluding the light and air, so one
box makes a cover for the next below
it. Such boxes can be easily and
rapidly handled over and replied,
while the decayed fruit can be seen
at a glance. DR.. Fisher, of Fitchburg,
uses similar trays for keeping his
grapes in his storeroom awaiting
market. If the boxes are three
inches deep they will hold the largest
apples of common varieties without
bruising, and if the boxes are twenty
inches wide by twenty-four inches
long they will hold heaping hal
bushel. The bottoms may be made

Whisper from Washington.

The proposition to create a neutral,
non-political force in National Legis-
lation, by making all ex-Presidents
life members of the Senate, is being
quietly discussed. There is ne present
thought Of bringing it formally before
Congress, but it is being revolved, its
effect weighed and its chances APP
praised. The general drift of opinion
such as finds expression, at least-is
favorable. You hear it said that
such an element in the Senate, not
responsible to any party, not influ-
enced by local considerations or
swayed by the lower forms of ambi-
ton, would operate asa powerful con-
sentative factor in the government.
1t would stand between factions in
those fierce conflicts which frequently
occur-mbound by caucus, unaffected
by political changes or contingencies,
free to act for the public interest
without fear or favor. Another argu-
ment advanced is that the arrange
nent would dispose of the question
of providing for eX-Presidents, avoid
ing the reproach of their poverty and
need which has occasionally fallen
upon the nation.
From time to time one hears, this
matter canvassed. Nobody has yet
suggested its introduction into Con
gress, but everybody is giving it
more or less thought. Doubtless all
this will fructify in the shape of an
amendment, Atpresent it has not
passed beyond the sphere of whisper.

Faith in Ones Self.


Queen Elizabeth once said to a
courtier; "Those succeed best in this
life who pass over it quickly; we stop
we sink" This saying might oft be
repeated, and with profit, too, if
oftener practiced. Life being short,
we should make the most of it while
it lasts. Let one trust himself, let
him exert his capabilities to their
fullest extent, and sooner or later
success will be his. To fail is asolute-
ly impossible, if a man is fully de-
termined to succeed and has an estab-
lished purpose in view.

War in the East.

Last week it was reported that the
column of British troops, about 1900
strong, under General Steward, had a Sc
we're fight near Abu-Klea wells. about %
miles north Of Metemneh. with portion
of the forces of the Mahdi, and after a
struggle much resembling in its general
character the engagement at Teb in March
last, put the rebels to flight and captured
the wells.
The details of the engagement were
given with great minuteness, and for a
time there was great rejoicing in London.
1t was said that the British force while
moving in a square upon the enemy's left
flank, was charged furiously by the
Prophets fanatical followers The square
was penetrated about its left rear, by sheer
might of numbers, and for awhile a hand
to-hand fight was carried on. but the ad-
mirable stcadiness Of the English in this
part of the field, together with the severity
OF the fire poured into the rebels by the
other parts of the square, in the end pre-
vailed. The losses were heavy on both
sides. The rebels left 800 dead on the
field, and of the English seventy-four were
killed and ninety-four wounded. Among
the killed was Col. Burnaby, whose Ride
to khiva has made his name familiar to
the readers of English books the world
over Several other officers of some note
were killed. The proportion of killed to
wounded was exceptionally large, and in
dictated the desperate character Of a fight
in which all the influence of example on
the part of the officers was required to
keep the men up to their work
Later advices from the scene of the en-
gagement, give a different version to the
affair. 1t was claimed that private tele-
grams contradicted the government re-
ports, and represented the battle as even
more favorable to the rebels than to the
British, and that Gen. Steward was
hemmed in on ll.sides with little chance
of escape. The conflicting statements
have created great uneasiness in England,
and serious fears as to the fate of the
troops i'll the East are entertained.

the attempt OF some one priyy to it to save
the life of Lord Monteaghe, Roman
Catholic peer. Though it had been de-
.cided to convey no express information to
the Roman Catholics who would be pres
ent, but only to prevent on general grounds
as many as possible from attending, yet on
October 26 Lord Monteag!ie received an
anonymous letter entreating his absence

danger.
The letter was shown to several lords of
the council, and afterwards to the King,
and resulted in search through the neigh
boring houses and cellars OH the night of
November 4, when Fawkes was seized just
after issuing from the cellar in which the
powder was at once discovered beneath the
fagots. Matches and torch-wood were
found in his pockets. Brought before the
King ard Council he boldly avowed his
purpose, but not even the rack could ex-
tort from him any disclosure concerning
his associates till they had announced
themselves by appearing in arms. The
failure of the plot was however complete.
