They were talking about dead mining

the rest had been pulled off before for
firewood, and all the other houses in the
town had gone the same way. This was

"They used to have accidents on the
roads in those old days. continued the
Marylander, meditativelY. 1.-The cars
were wheeled over wooden rails COW
cred with thin iron strips nailed down
to the wood. The ends of these rails
used to curl up and run through the
floors of the cars and out through the
roof. Usually there would be man on
the end of 'em. And it sometimes
took several hours to pick him off.
"They make all sorts of fun of East
shore people," he continued, after a
pause, "and some of the inhabitants are
queer specimens. They grow on trees,
you know; some drop off before they
are ripe, and that accounts for the varl-

with one cheek bone two inches higher

their mouths turning down and the
other side turning up; some without
any chins, others with chins extending
out like horns; some with feet ant

ABOUT CREAM.
An Article of Food and a Very EficaciouS
Medicine.

An Article of Food and Very EnicaciouS
Medicine.
Few seem to appreciate the value Of
cream as an article of human diet, most
people preferring to use milk fat, in the
form of butter. Though good and prop
erly made butter may fairly be conceded
to be the best and most wholesome solid
fat in use, it is quite inferior to cream
in respect to both economy and health.
The superiority of cream over butter. or
any other solid fat, consists first, in is
being not exactly in liquid form, bNN
in condition allowing of great mobility
between its particles permitting the
gastric juice TO mix with it in the most
perfect manner, and with whatever else
the stomach contains, thereby facilitat-
ing digestion. Its behavior is quite
different in this respect from that of
butter and other pure fats. As soon as
they become melted they grease over
the other contents of the stomach, OBJ
structing, in measure, the contact OF
gastric juice, and hindering, rather
than Fastening, the progress Of their
digestion.
Cream is also superior to butter and
other fats from its being intimately in
corporated with albuminous or flesh
forming matter in condition favorable
for easy and perfect digestion, so that
while it serves the propose of all unctu-
Gus matter in developing animal heat
and force, it carries along with it nutri-
ment in a most readily available form,
very important consideration in the
case OF invalids. 1t is fact in the
functions of the human stomach that
neither fats alone nor albuminoids alone
are digested by it as well as when the
two are mingled together in certain
proportions. 1t does not seem to cope
with any kind of grease alone, and pure
albuminoids it digests with great diff
Guilty. The flesh OF lean animals, which
is defective in fat, never digests as well
as that of animals in better condition,
in whose muscles fat is mingled The
palate instinctively recognizes the dif-
ference between fat and no fat in the
flesh of animals when used for food, al
ways preferring that marbled with fat:
A more perfect combination OF fat and
fesh-forming food could hardly be i'm
agined than exists in cream, each fat
globule of which it is composed being
enclosed with an envelope of albumin
GUS matter, and besides this, being sus-
pended in a serum of similar charac-
ter, making the incorporation of fat and
nutrient matter as intimate as it is pos
Sible 70 make 1.-THE Household.

SELF.CONrRoL.
A Trait Whose Beauty and Power Can No
BE Estimated.

A Trait whose Beauty and Power Can NOT
BE Over Estimated.
Who does not admire the power and
beauty of this trait! To my mind, 1t
more than any other gives honor and
dignity to its possessor. Witness two
cases of behavior under provocation.
Abuse borne in quiet patience awakens
for the sufferer our ready sympathy;
while one who RACES and vows venge-
ance on his prosecutor loses part of our
pity, in the scorn which he provokes.
There is greatness in the one who holds
himself in submission. If it is "better
to rule ones own spirit, than to take a
city," how much better than
to WELD, through selfshness, the
wills of our friends. There are
those who, if fearful of losing
their own way, will indulge in fit Of
passion, even to bringing on illness,
making all the other members of the
family feel obliged to lay aside their own
feelings and walk with the greatest fear
of exciting such consequences. Cases
have been known where this person was
not child but the wife and mother of a
grown-up family. Father and children
may develop an unusual amount of kind
thoughtfulness, rendering them very
pleasing; but, alas! it can not prevent
the contempt they must feel for the self
ish and passionate wilfulness which has
wrought in them this result. Dear read
ers! You can not afford to grow into
such a character. Commence early to
practice self-control.- - Christian at Work.

Nothing adds so much to the apparent
size Of "a building or piece Of ground or

breadth IS obtained by the total absence
OF fences or walls between properties. and
everybody must observe how much more
attractive such treatment Is than the

they are Objectionable, because they are

Rooms of tho white House.

President Arthur had the bedroom in
the northwest corner of the second
story of the White House fitted up for
his own occupation, in blue. A blue and
silver paper covered the walls, the wood
work was all painted turquoise blue. and
the luxurious lounge and easy chairs
were upholstered with blue and gold
satin. IL was in this cerulean room that
President Taylor closed his brief official
career and Willie .Lincoln's little light
went out. Here rested the head of the
young Prince of Wales after wearying of
the plaudits and platitudes OF his Ameri-
can cousins. 1t was here Gen. Burnside
passed the proudest night of his lifetime,
the one succeeding his orders TO take
command of the army of the Potomac.
And Nellie Grant spent herein many
happy days of maiden meditation before
embarkfng on the tickle sea of matrimony
with her British pilot, Sartoris.
Across the hall from this room. Mt the
head of the private stairway, is the room
where President Garfield, strangulatus
pro Republica, spent his first DAYS of
pain, where he learned TO suffer and be
strong; and in this room, frescoed in
gray, and pink and blue and gold, all
that was mortal of Abraham Lincoln Law
until the great catafalque received his
body in the East room below. Adjoining
the library, a beautiful circular room
opening from the immense upper hall, is
the room where President Hnrrison's
harassed soul escaped from cruelJ per
secution at the hands of incipient chi
teaus. His ghost still wanders about e.
says the legend, especially when Office
seekers grow numerous and unfortunate.

Vienna decline to receive mt their enter
tainments my foreigner below the rank

different legations having but dismal
time of it, Since France became repub-
lie the social prestige of Paris has wholly
vanished.
Spain and Portugal are too far out OF
the beaten track, and especially the lat
ter, and the stiff etiquette pervading mt
both courts, renders them anything but
popular. Since King Humbert assembled
the throne of Italy he and his fair wife
have done much TO make Rome n brilliant

now an undoubted fact that London,

which was occupied under the second
empire by Paris, i'm the affections of so
