Speaking Of Ralston's death, there
was q story circulated for years that
bears repetition. After his body had
been found the papers announced that
he had been drowned. Next day q
party of capitalists were talking over
the affair In the bar room of the Lick
House, then a famous hotel, when Sam
Croker came in Croker was a. warm
friend and adherent of Ralston's, and
had organized and originated the La
Dor Exchange at his (Ralston's) sug-
gestion. This Labor Exchange was
an Institution to help employers and
employees and to prevent mendicancy
Hastily approaching the wealthy
circle, to whom Sam was known,
he said: 81 hear Ralston is a de-
faulter to the tune of million" It's

To Husband.

Always complain of being tired, and
remember that nobody else gets tired.
Your wife should have everything in
readiness for you, but you SHOULD not
do anything for her.
When your wife asks for money, give
her nickel; ask her what she wants
whit, and when she tells you, ask her
if she can't do without it. Then go
down town and spend ten times the
amount for cigars, for they are ne
cessity.
Go down town of an evening, stand
around on the street corner and talk
politics; it is more interesting than to
stay at home with your family.
Charge your wife not to gossip, but
you can spin all the yarns you wish.
Have your wife get up and make
fires, but don't get up yourself till the
rest of the family areeating breakfast,
as you might take cold
Wear old clothes, and make YOUR
self as untidy as possible until your
wife's health fails; then it would be
best for you to fix up some, for in all
probability you will want another

Hot Weather Housekeeping.

Butter needs to be kept cool as we'll
as fresh. To put it in salt and water
hardens it better than anything ex-
cept ice To put it in a basin that
stands in salt and water is not quite
SO effectual, but avoids the difficulty
OF putting it actually under water.
Green vegetables soon become f1abby
and stale in hot weather owing to
evaporation from the leaves. This is
soon cured by fresh cutting the stalks
and putting them into mot under)
the water. Town vegetables are apt
to be in worse plight than this, for
they are stacked in wagons or trucks,
the first to go in being, of course, the
last to come out, and there they heat
and ferment, and finally arrive at the
consumers houses in a state of un-
wholesomeness for which we know no
cure.
Fruit also ferments. and, like every
thing else, sooner i'll damp than in dry
weather. Children often become i'll
from eating fruit, and so all fruit is Ia
booed, but the beginnings offermenta-
ton or decay ought to be blamed.
1t is better tokeep fruit ON wood,
not on a China dish, and there should
always be space between each, where
ever it is possible, and never more
than one layer. Ii it were practic-
able, it would be better to hang fruit
up instead Of laying it on anything.

GATHERINGS Ride.

We must not overlook little cpl
sode belongingto theperiod ofmother's
visit to London, and connection with
another first cousin, Catherine Martin.
She was a daughter of John Wood, the
third son OF the patentee, who lived in
great splendor at Wednesbury, where
he had inherited iron-works from his
father. Catherine, wife of a purser in
the navy, and conspicuous for her
beauty and impulsive, violent temper,
having quarreled with her excellent
sister, Dorothea Fryer, at whose
house in Staffordshire she was staying,

Arrived in London, Catharine pro-
ceeded on foot to Blackheath; there,
night having come on, and losing her
way, she was suddenly accosted by a
horseman with: 1tNow, my pretty

by his gallant address, she begged him
to direct her to Mordon college. He

A PARROT that Can Spell.

Frank c. futile, the proprietor of a
Church street, New Haven, Conn.,
rubber store, has become the owner of
q parrot OF many accomplishments.
Around the door OF a bird store was
gathered the other day a crowd so
large that it Was the work of several
minutes to gain entrance to.the inter-
Tor. From within there proceeded q
hoarse voice, dashed with a suspicion
of whiskey, which beloved in Irish
brogue the enlivening strains OF ssPeek-
a-boo," the crowd shouting with de-
light, and one small boy, in the exu-
berance of JOY, tied imself into a sort
OF a knot and rolled to the pavement.
Suddenly the inebriated Irishman
came to q dead stop, and another
voice, pleasanter in quality, sang
yankee Doodle" followed by the
stentorian query and answer all in
one:
GLOW are the Psi Epsilon boys? Oh,
they're all right"
A passer-by, puzzled at the scene,
made his way into the store to solve the
mystery. In large cage in the CEN
ter was an enormous green and yellow
parrot, which was hanging by onefoot
to a swinging perch and trooling forth
in different voices with the ease of an
accomplished ventriloquist. He re-
sumed q normal position as he was
approached, and hurrahed for Blaine
and Logan. Then, cooking his head
on one side, he dropped into more
conversational air and remarked:
cts never too late to mend a bird
in the hand and again, after a pause,
tits a long lane that never won fair
lady,
His visitor said:
"You're an accomplished bird, Pol
ly," and quick as thought the creature
replied:
Il can spell, 1 can. Cat, dog,
fox" with all affectation Of juvenility
which was gruesome He resented an
ill-advised attempt at familiarity by
swapping at the fingers which tried to
scratch his poll, and barked out:
'FTake care; I'm bad bird; you
betcher life!"
"He's one Of the cleverest parrots
have had for some time" said the
owner; in fact, he is almost as good as
Ben Butler, whom / sold to Patti.
His stock OF proverbs seems ineyhaus-
tible, and he makes them quite funny
by the ingenious way in which he makes
them up. could not begin to tell you
the things he says, but the greatest
accomplishment is his singing. He is
a double yellow head, the only species
that does sing. The African grays are
better takers, but they do not sing;
they only whistle"
'AWhat do you ask for him?''
ooh, ! think 5000 cheap for such a
paragon. ;"

Honey in Olden Times.

Acorrespondent of the London Ian
Get, writes of honey and its uses in
days long past-but not unknown
now SO far as the seductive and intox-
icating drink metheglin is concerned
says, not only the Greeks and Romans
but most of the Aslatic nations, had
habitual recourse to honey in the
preparation of food. 1t figured abund-
antly in their rather composite made"
dishes, and formed the standing ad-
junct of simpler fare. Mixed with
wine, milk, or even water, it was also
in universal demand for beverages; and
it was for this purpose that the Scan
dinavian and Celtic nations used hon
ey, while beer was yet unknown an
wines were mainly confined to the
countries that produced them. Meat
and metheglin are sometimes con-
founded; but the former was obtained
from the combs from which the honey
had already been taken, while the lat
ter required 112 pounds OF honey to
produce twenty-four gallons. Both
were fermented drinks; but metheglin,
the "honey wine" OF the banqueting
table, was rather viciously intoxicat-
ing, while mead was chiefly used as
vehicle for the havoring of fruits and
aromatic herbs. Queen Elizabeth was
extremely fond of this beverage, and
amead used to be prepared especial,
for her use, blended with sweet brier
thyme, rosemary and;

Tact in Feeding Infants.

In no detail of nursery routine is q
ttknack' more serviceable that in feed
ing. This is especially true during the
first days of weaving time, when the
mother s anxiety over refusal even
to taste the novel food in the novel
way is apt to be at the most distress
ing point. What often passes for dis
taste, or even lack of appetite, may
be only a momentary whim easily
overcome by little judicious persua-
sion, perhaps under cover OF some
little ruse Or a temporary diversion OF
the attention, during which the feed
ing may be accomplished in a mechani-
cal way. An attempt to force a child
to eat against his will, even when
obviously in need ofnourishment,m may
do more that fail GIFTS purpose; it may
provoke rebellious spirit and create
an aversion not only to the particular
food administered, but to any other
that may be next offered, which would
under other circumstances be entirely
acceptable to the fastidious little one.
This repeated refusal adds anxiety to
anxiety, thefact being overlooked that
it is abnormal and might easily have
been averted. Moreover, we can not
tell to what extent our own feelings at
such a time react, in spite of ourselves,
on the baby; but react they often do,
and only add complication to our
troubles.-Babyhood.

A New Amusement for Girls.
The fashionable amusement for

The fashionable amusement for girls
this season is to be knitting silk stock
ings-men's halfhose. The crazy quilt
has fulfilled its mission and gone-but
knitting-beautiful, useful, and gra-
cious employment-is just the toniest
thing out. 1t has practical side
which appeals to the grosser instincts
OF men. Hand-knitted stockings are
the very acme of elegance. Neither the
Prince ofWales nor yet Berry Wall can
have anything more truly refined and
dainty than hand-knit stockings. But
they cost from 81 to SO a pair. The
raw material, however, tor a pair only
costs about 81, and if the charming
fingers OF a lovely woman supply the
1925 worth of labor they are only
that much more valuable.
Knitting and sewing are among the
most graceful employments in the
world, and have been esteemed so ever
since the days when the young bloods
OF Athens went counting in the
shadows Of the Acropolis Two hours
calm and constant employment at
something which diverts the mind
without engrossing it, and in itself the
creation OF something pretty and
picturesque, will do more to keep
Mysteries and all other diseases
OF idleness at bay than a whole
college full OF doctors. Sewing by
hand has become a lost art since
the advent of the sewing-machine
There is no doubt that our grand
mothers overdid the thingin the multi
tude OF tiny stitches they put in, and
they sewed up considerable amount
OF health, strength, and nervous ener-
yy with their cambria needles and
yossamer thread. But in the advent
OF outdoor amusements and a thor
ough change in the habits of women
in the last thirty years they have lost
sight Of the esthetic advantages OF
sewing and knitting. A woman, to be
attractive, must possess the power of
sitting down quietly and listening. If
she is always galloping over a lawn
tennis ground or kicking up her heels
over croquet wickets, she will be very
interesting to the boys, but very tire
some to men. Then, if she sits down
she must be employed. II she1s utter
ly idle she will fasten her mandibles on
the first man that comes along from
the sheer desperation of idleness, and
finding it rather difficult to get away
from a woman who evidently has
nothing to do but to talk to him, the
man becomes an unwilling captive, and
spends his time devising methods to
escape. Now, if she has four shining
knitting-needles in her, hands flying
back and forth through silken meshes
OF red and blue or royal purple, she is
plainly not dependent upon chance
corners for company, and the chance
corners will appreciate this fact by re.
naming in the nelghborhood.

How to Live One Hundred ears.
From the Chicago News.

= AOnA UAC Oll1COSO NCNSs
If the weather has made arrange
ments to keep the mercury permanent
]y among thenineties, perhaps nobody
wishes to live 100 years, but if any
body does, DR.. j. NJ. PEBBLES pamphlet
under that title pretends to tell him
how he may do SO. There is an old
story of an Indian who was told that
he could have three wishes, and that
what he asked for would be given him.
s'Well, !" said he, "me wish first for all
the rum me can drink" Next! ssMe
wish next for all the 'bacco me wants"
And last! The old Indian thought a
long time and finally said: ssWell, me
guess me take some more rum.'' So
DR.. PEBBLES first wish is that he may
have all the sleep he wants, then all
the water he wants to drink and to
splash in, and then-well, he'll take a
little more sleep. Certainly the Doc
tor prescribes to the liking OF most
persons who, in this severely warm
weather, would like nothing better
than snoozing, and splashing in cool
water, and snoozing again. It is de-
lightful medicine, but nevertheless, the
Doctor thinks that where there are no
prenatal influences at work against
the health, sleep and water, together
with the vegetarian and farinaceous
system OF diet, and clothing made with
a view to protection against the varia-
tions of heat and cold, and with no
other view, will keep a person alivefor
a century.

The Philosophy of Dessert.

A writer in the Medical and Surgical
Reporter explains the philosophy of
taking bread, cheese and dessert at
the end of dinner He says that in
order to supply abundant gastric juice
for the digestion OF thefood introduced
into it, the stomach requires an alum
dant supply OF blood, and thenervous
system must be kept active in order to
respond to demands made upon it.
The savory cheese swallowed in small
morsels, and the sweet fruits which
strongly stimulate the nerves OF taste,
or nuts which require considerable
mastication, cause an abundant flow
OF blood to the nerve centers;; while
the frequent movements ofswallowins
stimulate the heart and increase the
rapidity ofgeneral circulation.

THE FARM AND FIRESIDE
Farm Notes.

A Maine farmer had q wife who de-
clared she would never be weighed.
One day, when she was in the wagon,
he drove his team on the hay scales
and had the whole thing weighed with
out his wife knowing what was going
on. Then he afterward came back and
had the team weighed without his wife,
ana found it just 225 pounds lighter.
Stringhalt is en- affection of the
nerves of the hind leg, which causes
paralysis of some of the muscles and
tendons by which the leg is kept
straight. AS these muscles cannot act
the leg is drawn up with a jerk when it
is lifted instead of being moved slowly
and gradually. There is no cure for it
that can be depended upon.
Protection is most needed for plants
which must endure through winter, as
winter wheat, strawberries, ETC., but
any one who compares the growth of
the ordinary ANNALS grown in the

out in an open field will soon be con-

How Much Seed Wheat Per Acre.

One Of the questions to which there
is no definite answer is, how much
wheat shall be sown to the acre?
Much depends on the condition of the
soil, the degree Of fertility, the time of
sowing, the liability to injury from
birds and insects, and on the subse-
quent character OF the season. AS
rule, less is required when sown with a
drill, than broadcast; less when sown
early, than late. In Western New
York, some farmers SOW only one
bushel per acre; still more SOW five
pecks with drill, and six pecks, if
broadcast. Occasionally two bushels
per acre are sown, but probably the
average is one and a half bushel. The
American Agriculturist has readers in
Great Britain, where three bushels are
sown; and again, in sections OF our
own country, where three pecks are
the rule. To theinexperienced, wecan
give no better advice, than to recon-
mend them to ask their neighbors.
There is generally some good reason
for a prevailing practice. Hyou think
your neighbors are sowing too much,
SOW little less; if you think they are
sowing too little, SOW peck more.
Do not show your independence by
halving or doubling up. II you do, you
are pretty certain to make mistake.
