MOntfOrd, and he beautifully re-
piled "The present life is sleeping

The Wisdom Of Economy.

Look most to your spending. No
matter what comes in, If more goes
out you will be poor always. The
art is not in making money, but in
keeping it little expenses, like
mice IN barn, when theyare many,
make great waste. Hair by hair
the head gets bald straw by straw
the thatch goes off the cottage {;
drop by drop the rain comes into
the chamber. A barrel is soon
empty if the tap leaks but a drop a
minute. When you mean to save
begin with your mouth; there are
many thieves down the red lane
The ale jug is a great waste. In
all other things keep within com
pass. In clothes choose suitable
and lasting stuff, and not tawdry
fneries. To be warm is the man
thing, never mind the looks. Nev-
er stretch your legs further than
the blanket will reach, or you will
soon be cold. a fool may make
money, but it needs wise man to
spend it. Remember, it is easier
to build two chimneys than to keep
one going. Ifyou give all to back
and board, there is nothing left for
the savings bank. Fare hard, and
work while you are young, and you
will have chance of rest when you
are old.

Demand for Boys.

What the world needs most al
this writing is boys. There never
was a time when the human market
was so devoid of good, serviceablC
boys. There is a glut Of boy
tOughs, of boy rOughs and of bold
bad boys. Then there is the pre-
cious boy, the indolent boy, the i'm
pudent boy, and the boy who at
thirteen years knows more than his
father at sixty. OF these grades of
boys there is an infinite variety,
and an almost bOundless stock
But they are worthless, positively
unfit for any use in the economy Of
life. There is a great demand for
honest, truthful, straightforward
bOys-bOys who recognize the fact
that they are boys content to await
the process of development before
they declare themselves full grown
men, and fully equipped for the
shoes of their elders. Yet, it is a
dismal and lamentable fact that
good boys are very much in de
mand, with very little promise Of a
supply being forthcoming.

POINTS ON cANHING FRUIT.

The secret of successful canning
of frnits and vegetables is an open
one. Certain conditions being in.
sured, failure is out of the question.
The fruits land vegetables must
be inst ripe, freshly gathered and
perfect Of their kind. All germs in
the cans, received by contact with
the air, or otherwise, must be de-
stroyed by heat in the form of boil
ing water, and all germs, fungus
growth or of acknowledgements
also be destroyed.
Then the air must be effectually
excluded from the cans so that all
germs will be kept out. The surest
Way of securing all these conditions
is to put tue fruit into the cans, in
o. cold water, raise this to a boiling
point, and keep it there till the con-
tents are sufficiently cooked then
remove from the water and seal
tightly, and turn the cans on end.
Ifihey leak, they are liable to fer
n.ent if they do not leak, no air
can enter to carry the seeds of fer.
mentation into the can.
But this is slow work where one
carries on the business in the fami-
~ on large scale, and with suit

Be a Wan.

Foolish spending is the father Of
povertv. DO not be ashamed OF
hard work. Work for the best sal
ary or wages you can get. but work
for half price rather than be idle.
BE your own master, and do not let
societies or fashion swallow up your
individuality-hat, coat and boots.
DO not eat mp or wear all that you
earn. Compel your selfish body to
spare something for profit saved.
BE stlngy to your own appetite, but
merciful to others necessities
Help others, and ask no help for
Yourself. See that you are proud.
Let your pride be of the right kind.
BE too proud to be lazy; too proud
to give up without conquering
every difficulty; too proud to wear
a coat you cannot afford to buy !;
too proud to be in company that
you cannot keep up within ex-
penses; too proud to lie, or steal,
or cheat; too proud to be stingy.

When a setting hen is too indis-

and tie the rooster on the nest

The SCOT can be thoroughly swept

in vainly striving to fly upward,
thoroughly cleans the chimney with
its wings.
By immersing the entire body in

The scent Of whiskey on the

4 Most Remarkable Case.

struck the elbow joint and went
through. II completely crushed all
the articulatlve surface of the hui

after it suppurated and discharged

bone spread until the entire fore
arm was a putrid mass, encroach-
ing both on the back and palm of
the hand. ! was warned by the
surgeons that this might happen
in after life from nerve and blood
poverty below the elbow. My con

time. The wound was so offensive
that | could hardly remain in a

advertisement of Swi.ts Specific IN

able precautions one can do two,
three or dozen cans at once as
safely as one, and with as good re-
suits. Have a kettle that will hold
at least two cans, and larger ket-
tie is preferable, and while the
fruit is cooking in that, enough can
be prepared to replenish it each
time it is emptied.
The shorter the time consumed
| in getting the fruit from the tree,
or the vegetables from the garden
into the cans, the better. All the
fruit that has to be peeled, darkens
by exposure to the air, and should
be placed, as soon as the skin is re-
moved, in cold water. lfmore than
two quarts at a time are cooked, 1t
is difficult to do the cooking evenly.
That at the bottom of the kettle
will be done sooner than that at
the top, and if one stirs the fruit
while cooking, its shape is likely to
be injured.
For very nice canning it Is bet
ter to put the fruit into the cans as
soon as peeled, cover with liquid,
syrup or water, put on the rubbers,
tops and rings, and cook till done,
in water raised slowly to the boil
ing point. Then seal tightly.
For ordinary canning, prepare
the fruit two cans at time, cook
it till done, then ladle it into cans,
let them stand for time with their
covers on till they "settle down.
fill again with boiling hot fruit or
water, and seal tightly, In this
case. as IN the former, cans, covers
and rubbers should be immersed
in boiling water before the cans are
flied.
Boiling hot fruit or water may
be poured into cans without break
ing them, il they are first placed on
a very wet towel, and a silver spoon
is put in them.
