HE DID o BUY.
A Story With a Moral for Bright Sales,
men.

1t was plain to see by his 10 )hs and
actions that he had no idea of purchas-
ing a lawn-mower. He might, possibly
have been urged into buying two pap
ers of tacks for five cents, or a summer
thermometer at slaughter prices, but it
wasn't likely that he even had a lawn
TO NOW. And yet he came to a sudden
halt before a hardware store, slid up
to three or four specimen mowers On
exhibition, and a minute later he was
making a close examination. A clerk
came out and said:'
"Good morning. We have a few
left, but they are going like hot cakes"
TIE man seized the handle of one Of
the mowers and pushed the machine
back and forth.
"Any child can run it, observed the
clerk, ''and you notice that it makes no
more noise than o sewing machine"
The man upset the machine on its
back and spent three minutes investi.
ing.
"Nothing to get out of order, sir"
continued the clerk as he bowed to a
g~ood-looking woman. 1--WE warrant
this machine for two years, and will
replace any part that breaks"
The man stood the machine up on
one wheel and squinted and examined
some more.
"Cuts through the heaviest grass,
and cuts closer than any other machine
made. We are willing to let you have
it for a week on trial."
The mar counted the places for OIL
ing the bearings. There were four of
them.
"Over Is, 900 of these machines were
sold last year," said the clerk, as he
menaced a dog with a hoe handle. ut
has taken more first class premiums
than any other machine in the world.
The best is always the cheapest"
The mar pushed the machine a few
feet away from him, thrust his hands
deep into his pockets and seemed about
to whistle, but he didn't.
81 can give you a list of 230 promin-
| emit citizens who have used them"
said the clerk, as he flirted with a wo
man ON a passing street car. "Don't
be deceived into buying an inferior
machine. The lawns ofthe nobility of
England are moved with this machine"
The man suddenly advanced and
seized the handle of the machine.
"This machine sharpens itself, and
the only care needed is to oil it now
and then. Those who have used them
the longest would not part with them
for double the cost price"
The machine was pushed and pulled.
I'VE not only guarantee the machine,
but the price shall be made perfectly
satisfactory" SAID the cle.k as he waved
off a boot. black. "What IS the use of
paying $40 for a lawn mower which
will get out of order in half an hour?
Beware of base limitations. There are
machines IN this market which are not
worth the cost of sending home by an
express wagon. Let me have yournum-
Der an / l will send this n up on trial.
If 1t doesn't work"
The clerk turned to look for the man,
but he had been gone a minute and a
half.

At the Nuremberg Exhibition was
shown a novel use of bricks of cork.
These bricks have only been used for
building purposes. on account of their
lightness and isolating properties; but
they are now also employed as a cover
log for boilers, and are said to excel
even asbestos in preventing the radia-
ton of heat. They are stated to be
very cheap, being prepared of small
corks, refuse and isolating cement. At
Nuremberg the application of cork
bricks was largely shown. The usual
size of cork bricks is 10 by AZ by q
inches.

n ON the stains. The sand can be
rinsed off and kept IN a dish for daily

exceedingly harsh. They must be

JAPANESE PATCHWoRK.-Th Is a
new style in which to piece silk, and
one which wastes but little of the ma
terial. Cut a lining of calico or cotton
of about thirteen inches square and If
you remember how the log cabin quilts
were pieced you will have the idea, only
in that YOU had a s~quarefor the centre.
But in this lay on such a piece of silk
as you happen to have, not large and
no matter what shape, and just ''catch''
on to the cloth. Then take another
piece of another color and, putting
right sides together, run together, turn
W. and ''catch down' as before.
Continue this until the square is COW
cred, pressing so as to be perfectly
smooth, cutting off the extra silk left
at edges. You will have an odd-look-
ing square, but when you have feather
stitched over the seams with a con-
trasting. colored floss or silk you will be
astonished at the beauty of your work.
There will be no two alike, and it will
be a handsome quilt when completed.
1t is beautiful to join the squares by
STRIPS of black velvet.

COOKED SALAD DRESSING. - Use
four eggs, eight tablespoonfuls of weak
vinegar, four of oil, one teaspoonful of
salt, one.fourth of a teaspoonful of
pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of
mixed mustard. Put the oil and vim
egar into q small saucepan and set this
pan into another containing boiling
water. Beat the eggs well, and pour
the hot oil and vinegar upon them,
stirring all the while. Turn the mix
ture into the stewpan and set the pan
in the boiling water once more. Stir
the dressing until it begins to thicken-
say for about five minutes; then take
it from the fire, and add the salt, pep
per and mustard. If the dressing
should not be smooth, rub it now
through a strainer; but if it has been
stirred constantly there will be no &C.
easion for straining. This dressing
will keep for weeks. Butter may be
substituted for oil, but it is not as
good.

IN BOILING FIsH.-When a cloth is
not used, wrap a string spirally
around the fish from head to tail.
This will keep it from breaking.
For three pounds of any white fish this
is the proportion OF sauce: Three cups
full of milk, boiled with two bay leaves
q slice of onion and a sprig of parsley.
Rub two tab~lespoonfuls OF corn starch
in a tablespoonful of butter and add
smoothly to the milk. Just as you re-
move it from the fire stir in the un-
beaten yolks of three eggs. 1t is econo-
mical to keep the yolk of each egg in its
shell. stirring it about with a fork TO
break it up, and then empty 1t into the
sSuce. The boiling sauce cooks the egg
sufficiently.

"a MEMBER of the junior class at
Harvard is, to use a classic phrase, all
broken up. Until recently he has been
paying pretty persistent attention to a
young lady living in - street. His
classmates took a lively interest in the
case, and as long az the calls were lin
tied to ence a week they only sympath-
lied, but when the visits reached five, six
and ven seven times in a single week
the boys felt that something ought to
be done. Accordingly, they put their
heads together and decided to give him
a gentle hint to change his lodgings. A
few nights later after a protracted meet
ing at the house Of the young lady, up
on stepping out upon the piazza to take
leave of her. the junior found that the
entire contents of his room-even to
trunks, curtains and bedroom furnit-
ure-had been removed during the
evening and disposed around the yard
and piazza. He does not call there at
all now."

hat "A Change

A few short weeks ago that young girl
was the personiication of health, vigor and
beauty. The blush upon her cheeks ri
vailed that of the rose; her step was light
and buoyant, her every movement was a
revelation of perfect physical health. Yet
now she is pallid and haggard, and her SUI

strange dizziness and lassitude. What has
caused this change? Functional irregu-

A Cure of Pneumonia.

Mr.. d. III. Barnaby, of Owego. N. Y,
says that his daughter was taken with a
violent cold which terminated with Pnsu-

the case up and said she could live but a

RHUBARB may be made into a good
sauce in Spring and early Summer.
1t should be fresh and tender when
used. Pare 1t and cut it into pieces
about an inch long; then wash it. and
put it into an earthern baking dish.
Fer each quart add a cupful of sugar
and half a cupful of water. Cover the
dish with a large plate and bake slowly
for two hours. Rhubarb may be put
into a stewpan with sugar and water
and cooked in 10 minutes, if the water
bOlls all the time. The sauce will be
green and the rhubarb broken, where
as by the first method, a r~ich-colored

to have cured General Schenck of a
usually fatal disease. 1t IS now recon-
mended that this cheap and abundant
article shall be used in making bread.
A pint Of 1t, in the ordinary loaf, in
stead of water, adds some solid nutri-

fresh as long as water bread, but it is
delicious when fresh, and, perhaps, all
the wholesomer for drying quickly.
