THE OLD MILL.

Here from the brow o: tlrs hill I look
Through Il lattice CT houghs and leaves
On the Old gray mill, Witli its gambrel roof,
Aud the moss on its ,otting caves.

And the rushing waters sound.
And see the black floats rise and fall
As the wheel goes slowly round
rode there often when was Young,
With my grist on til. horse before.
And talked with n, ,li.a, the ml!er's girl.
As l waited my turn ut the door.
And while she tossed her ringlets brown,
And fllrted and chattcd so free,
The wheel might stop or The wheel might 60

'Tis twenty years since last ;ood
On the spot where stand to day,
And Nellie is wed anG the miller is dead,
And the mill and ire gray.
But both, till we fall into ruin and wreck,
To our fortuIe G OF to are bound,
AND the man goes, and the stream flows.
Aud the wheel moves slowly round.

TRAIN TALK.

There was long haired man in the
smolling-car, and some of the passengers
were making sport of him. They called
him crank.
"Tut, tut. boys" said an elderly pas
senger, "don't call a man crank simply
because he has long hair. Let me tell
you story. I owned farm many
years ago down East. One day I noticed
Il long-haired man walking about my
place in very queer way. asked him
what he was doing, and he said he was
just looking about little. But he was
there the next day and the next. Fin
ally insisted on his telling me what he
wanted. and he said
"'Well, farmer there's buried treasure
under your farm, and I've been trying
10 locate the best place to dig for it.
I've found the place, and now l will
make bargain with you. You do the
digging and we will divide the treasure
cqUally between us.
Il agreed, and went to digging where
he told me to. | spent all the money
had on earth putting the hole down.
notwithstanding that the neighbors all
laughed at me and called the man o
long-haired crank"
lyon were a bigger fool than took
you for laughed one of the passengers.
"There you go again." said the old
man. "You youngsters judge by ap-
nearnnce and think you know all.
YOU"
But you never found any buried
treasure, did you?"
Eyes, did; hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth"
"What kind &"
"Coal. The long-haired man was Q

"But my mother, hesitated Eleanor,

Brown. "Bless your heart, my dear,
there's pleanty of room in the house.
Can they cook, too 2"
"No, Cousin Brown" confessed
Nelly.
"Wcll, perhaps it's just as well" ;"
said Mr.. Brown. "There can't be
more than one head to household. I
hope you have preserved the recipe Of
that iiblct pie, my dear. 1t was really
something extraordinary"
So the Torrance family found COM
Portable refuge for the soles of their
feet, and Nellys despised accomplish

opened the worlds oyster
And Lucetta sighed and wondered
why she, too, had not taken cooking

Clara Louise Kellogg frequently wears

Clara Louise Kellogg frequently wears
magnificent jewelled pin, presented
by the Duke of Newcastle in 1868.
During the Brighton races he invited
Miss Kellogg to be the guest of his
family, saying in the invitation that he
had recently lost heavily, and if she
came it might change his luck. She
went, and that day the Duke won $780,
900. The pin commentaries the event.
The noted statistician, Edward Atnik-
son, insists that there is an abundance
of room yet in this world. The 1, 400,-
100000 persons supposed to be on the
globe could all find easy standing room
within the limits of field ten miles
square, and by the aid of telephone
could be addressed at one time by a
single speaker. In field twenty miles
square they could all be comfortably
seated.

The Household.

A SQUARE sofa pillow of black satin is
effective, powdered with white daisies
wrought in flo floss finish the edge of
the cushion with large yellow beads and
decorate one corner with large yellow
satin bow.
FRIED BANANAS are a pleasant break
fast rel sh. Choose very firm bananas
peel and slice them sprinkle with
little salt {; dip the pieces in thin batter
and fry in butter a delicate brown. They
must be served Immediately.
A LITTLE turpentine in the wash boiler
will make clothes very white, and will
often remove incorigible stains from
white goods. A tablespoonful of tur-
pentine to large boiler, or teaspoon
full to two gallons of water. There is no
smell. the boiling preventing it.
A UNIQUE design for buffet-cover
border is Indian corn worked with
crowels or colored cottons. "The
maize bars, full and shining" are
lightly linked together by their green
and yellow garments, four husks being
gracefully disposed about each ear. At
either end of the design the arrange
ment of the husks about the ears forms
q characteristic finish.
CHERRY RUM.-A peck of black wild
cherries, soaked in cold water twenty
four hours. Put them in demijohn,
add two pounds brown sugar, two quarts
blackberries, and a gallon of best New
England rum The older it is the better,
if kept we'll corked it is excellent for
summer complaints.
SMALL TIN CANS, in which prepared
cocoa is sold can be made into very
pretty match receivers by crocheting
with Florence knitting silk cover to
fit the box; ; the ordinary single crochet
stitch is used with u finish around the
top ofa row of full shells, draw the cover
over the tin and suspend with bright
ribbons.
EGGS MAY be preserved for some
months by coating the shell with fresh,
clean lard, thus excluding all the all.
Some authorities recommend putting
them in lime-water, or laying them down
i'll SALT OF packing them in sawdust.
The lime partially cooks them and salt
has drying effect; but eggs coated
with lard are said to open fresh and
sweet.
A PRETTY ornament for the wall is
made by cutting fan out of very stiff
pasteboayd, cover half of it with plush
OF velvet, put this on plain on the other
half put folds of satin, lengthwise, to
initiate the folds of half-open fan.
Around the edge put narrow band of
swans down, at the top or handle put q
bow, and n cord and tassels. In the
centre of the fan pnt an oval or round
Christmas cards it should be unfringed.
One made OF pink plush and satin was
handsome one less delicate and likely
to become easily soilcd, WAS of wine

A NOVEL style of wall pocket has o
crescent and a full circular-shaped piece
of cardboard for its foundation the Cir
ular piece is covered with peacock-blue
satin, and the crescent with golden
brown satin, and the parts are joined
together with over-ant-over stitches; Il
row of gold cord edges the circular piece
and is tied in loops at the point of sus-
pension, the ends of the cord being tip
ped with gold tassels; the circular piece
has on it branch of the nasturtium

Scientific.

AS u rarnish for ferrotypes the follow
ing recipe has been recommended
The solvent should be highly rectitied
benzole, and the most suitable resnous
body is gum dammar. Crush the gum,
and having placed it i'll tall bottle pour
i'll the benzole and shake up at repeated
intervals until the gum is dissolved.
Allow the solution to stand until it is
quite clear above the sediment, then
dccant the liquid carefully into clean
bottle, where it is diluted with benzole
until the desired consistency is attained.
Good varnish can also be made by dis
solving Canada balsam in bcnzole.
The Qucrcus se'7ata, says Mr.. G. Mich
oloson in the Gaaden, is highly orna-
mental species of oak with foliage exhib-
iting u decided resemblance to that of
the sweet chestnut of Southern Europe.
1t is quite hardy i'll this country, and
from its handsome appearance and dis
tinct habit is thoroughly worthy of more
general cultivation. In Japan it is
widely distributed, and forms one of the
most useful timber trees The young
foliage is always more OF less silky, but
in the mature leaves the hairiness Is
sometimes confined to the axis of the
principal veins on the under surface of
the leaf
Mr.. J. Hull gives some sensible direc-
tions for the laying of gas pipes He is
in favor of the pipes being placed as
deep AS possible under the surface, for
if they are near the surface the Joints,
however we'll made at first, will leak
sooner or later, owing to the upheaving
and settling of the ground by frosty
weather and top pressure of traffic.
Lead pipes are the best, because they are
not so readily subject to choking through
rust, etc. Any difficulty which may
justly be anticipated from the bagging
of lead pipes, such as will arise from
their forming awkward water traps, can
be obviated altogether by the placing of
these pipes on a ground bed of red pine.
Everything yields before the strong
and earnest will. 1t grows by exercise;
it eXcites confidence in others, while it
takes the lead to itself. Difficulties
before which mere cleverness fails, and
which leave the irresolute PROSTATE and
helpless, vanish before it. They not
only do not impede its progress. but il
often makes of them stepping-stones to
Il higher and more enduring triumph.
