One of our highly respected and
wealthy citizens, now over 80 years Of
age, has made an interesting calculation
as to the cost of the cigars he has smoked
during his life time. He began to
smoke when quite young, and has al
ways used the very best quality of cigars.
The reriod of his smoking covers sixty
seven years. He knows the amount he
has expended, and calculated the sum
invested in cigars every six months.
and placing it at compound interest at
six per cent, on the basis of the savings
bank calculations, he finds that the sum
total now amounts to 100000. 1t
see1ss like an enormous sum to have
been wasted in smoke. But the gentle
man, who has been successful business
manager and methodicai in keeping his
accounts, spent a good many hours IN
making up this cigar account, and ne IS
satisfied that the sum Of 100000, in-
GLIDING the interest compounded once
in six months. is correct.

Indoor Hints.

A FAyoRITE way of serving beef soup
at Galveston, Is to pour it while at the
bo1lln9-p point into a soup-bowl, in the
bottom of which is placed a crisp,
brown slice of toast, then fresh egg is
dropped into it and it is cooked suffi-
GENTLY by the time the soup is partly
eaten, to be delicious.
VAsELINE is said to be a good pre-
sentative for eggs. The vaseline is
melted with B per cent. of salicyhc acid
and rubbed on the eggs after they are
thoroughly washed. The coating SO
given may be renewed after awhile. AS
the air is thoroughly excluded, the
eggs, if they are fresh to begin with
ought to keep good for long time.
To give glass the appearance OF being
frosted coat it with sulphate of magnesia
diluted with beer with little dextrine
added, or hot solution OF epson salts
and clear solution of gum arabic APP
piled while warm will do. Beautiful
landscapes, flowers and figures can be
drawn on glass prepared in this manner
by using fine steel point, just as you
void use pencil i'll drawing.
HERE is a new way to make rice
pudding. Wash small teacupful of
rice in cold water; then put it into a
quart of cold milk; add salt and sugar
and vanilla to your taste, and small
lump of butter. Put this into the oven
two hours before it is to be eaten; stir
it occasionally. Follow these directions
carefully, however skeptical you may
be, and you will be pleased with the re.
suit
If you have a shabby waste pa per
basket that is not broken, cover it with
gold or bronze paint and ornament j. to
suit your fancy. If you wish to make
it really fine, cover it with coat OF
mucilage: then while it is still damp
sprinkle rice or sage or barley over it !;
when quite dry, gid or bronze it. Small
baskets may also be treated in the same
way. Shabby picture frames may be
made las good as new" in the same
manner.
To bronze straw, or feathers for tips,
to ten cents worth of common varnish
add few drops of Japan drying; with
this liquid and an ordinary long handled
bristle brush, varnish your straw hat,
or whatever you may wish to bronze
Then take your gold or silver bronzing
powder, pour it into small saucer, and
with small piece of velvet dust the
powder over every part of the article
you are ornamenting. Go over the
article until every part is smooth and
even in its appearance. The feathers
of ducks and leghorn fowls make beau

Fancy Balls,
from the American Queen ,

IRON the Amer can Quecn.1
Many attempts to revive q curious
fashion, of appearing in ordinary even
ing dress, with the head only in fancy
costume, has failed in New York; bnt
We have assisted at one or two such en-.
tertainments, and the effect has been
curiously quaint. A steepIe head-dress
or Normandy cap looks altogether out
of place with q low tulle gown; and
what could be more opposed than the
black dress coat of to-day and a cru
sader's helmet? Powdered hair worn by
ladies and gentlemen with ordinary
evening dress is more amusing. There
is wide field for fancy in an entertain
ment of the kind. At juvenile balls, as
well as at those given to adults, it is
desirable feature that, once or twice in
the course of the evening, the company
should march round in twos and twos
to the strains of the Russian polonaise.
With good leader this can be well
done. Each couple should enter into
the spirit of the thing, and, with the
hands joined and held upward, pass
with stately movement up and down the
room. The polonaise is an inseparable
part of the state balls ia Russia, and is
eagerly anticipated by the company
In some places prizes are occasionally
given for the best costumes; and with
some tact this idea can be made good
excuse for Offering suitable presents to
the young people at a juvenile fancy
ball, either from Christmas tree or by
a good fairy, or in any other way. A
tableau or so when the dancing opens is
an idea that gains ground at children's
balls, followed by minuet de la cour,
In which the young people take part
Al one of these dances the curtains for
the tableau were held back by four lit
tie boys, dressed as pages, their faces
blackened; and subsequently they held
a cord across the room to divide it for
dancing.

Wanted 10 be an Orphan.

tFrom the Boston Traveller
little Newport child of rich parent
age, carefully nursed and richly clothed
aud guarded tenderly by its elders, was
driving by the Orphans Home the other
day, when it caught the sound of the
many childish voices In the yard where
the children were at play. 1t eagerly
asked: "Oh, mamma, what is that? %
They are poor little orphans, without
any parents impressively answered the
mother, hugging her darling closer.
AOh, mamma exclaimed the child.
crossing his little hands over his velvet
gown and drawing a deep sigh, show 1
wish | was poor little orphan!' The
mother appreciated the situation, and
has since given her child companionship
OF Its own stature, and little more
freedom from fine clothes and constant
nursing.

Care of Farm Machinery.

Farmer A. has his farm tools and ma
chimes scattered about in fence corners
and back yards, in fact, almost anywhere
that he used them last. Farmer B. has
his machines nicely oiled and housed;
some of them he will give a coat of
paint at leisure times. Farmer B. may
not live any longer for this extra care,
though he should, for he has less to
worry over, but his machinery will last
twice as long as will that of Farmer A.
Manufacturers tell us that well-cared
for machinery is always good for ten
years of hard service, but that neglected
and abused implements can be depend
ed upon for but three to five years. Be-
sides this the latter are in constant need
of repair during the busy season when
their help is most needed.

Turn About Heels.
[From the New York Sun.)

When an uptown shoedealer was
asked to repair pair of boots that
needed new soles and new heels he
said:
will you have patent heels?"
What is the peculiarity?"
They are reversible. Both ends of
the heel are trimmed alike. The heel
is secured with screws, which can be re-
moved by anyone with screwdriver.
By turning the heel end for end after
it begins to wear off on one side, the
wear is thrown equally on both sides,
and the heel is kept square. Eventually
the wearer learns to stand up squarely
on his heels. They will cost you 90
cents extra"

DID THE KNIGHTS ALL DIE OF
YORE:

/ was sitting n my study,
And the night was growing cold;
I was reading from story
OF the noble knights OF old.
How they fought for fame and glory,
And befrfended weak and old.
While the wind blew loud and stormy,
And the snow fell still and cold.
By the fire sat little Nora
List ming to the tale unfold;
Blue her eyes were, large and dreamy,
And her hair like waves Of gold.
Then we heard feeble knocking,
And the door opened wide;
Can / come in" said q beggar,
From the cold by your treside?'
And l answered him quite gruffiy:
Go away p ana closed the door;
But my little Nora whispered:
Ibid the knights all die OF yore
Back I called the poor old beggar,
said: Your pardon l implore,
You are welcome to my fireside,
Though I'm not knight OF yore."

LttAtC
She isn't very pretty.
$50 say her lady friends;
Shes neither wise nor witty
With verbal odds and ends.
No fieeting freaks of fashion
Across her fancy run;
She's never in passion
Except a tender one.
Her voice Is low and cooling,
She listens more than speaks
While others talk of doing,
The duty near she seeks
1t may be but to FURNISH
The sideboard's scanty plate,
Or but with bread to furnish
The beggar at the gate.
So I, who see what graces
She sheds on lowly life,
To fashions fairest faces,
Prefer my little wife.
And though at her with pity
The city danes may smile,
Who deem her hardly pretty
And sadly out of style,
To me she seems a creature
So unsteady sweet
! would not change one feature
One curve from crown to feet,
And II could be never
Her lover and her mate,
think I'd be forever
The beggar al the gate.
