Never Marry Man Who Drinks,

Never Marry Man Who Drinks,
We should enshrine these words deep into our
hearts, and y with earnestness: LIPS that touch
liquor shall never touch mine" II is motto that
every girl might write upon the wall of the peaceful
little chamber where she dreams her maiden dreams
and often makes up her mind to marry the dear
good fellow, whose only fault is taking glass too
much now and then and reform him after marriage
IL is all the more necessary that it should be written
there, because the men who drink are by no means
the worst men in the world. We know that gen.
erous, warm heated men, men of intellect and men
of power have found the temptation too hard TO
Withstand and that many man, otherwise con-
temptible and wicked, has never had A glass foo
much i'll his life, although it is also true that under
the influence Of liquor men have done deeds the
very thought of which would have sickened their
sober souls If only all men who drank were despi-
cable in all other respects there would be little need
of the Warning but as it is, let every girl remember
it, every mother whisper it. Whatever his charms
Or his natural virtues may be, no woman can be
happy with drunkard, and he who will not give
ur drink for his sweethearts sake will never give it
up to please his wife. Ifanything can check d man
in his Of dissipation it is the dread of losing
the girl lie loves. Say ''You shall never have me
unless you ors Ike the bottle and you may conquer
him. Failing IN that, all your wifey tears Id
fail also Don't marry him! 1t is better to weep
over your dead hopes and go single to your grave.
than suffer what drunkard makes his wife suffer.
Never marry man who drinks. LADY.
A E. w. Comet, McIeansville, ~ c.: have been
much interested in reading The different methods of
churning given in the Womans Kingdom I
have concluded to give mine and If it not suitable
for your paper suppose the waste basket is not full
yet. First, have good cow like the JERSEYS
Second place the milk in a cool place where il can
have plenty of air. Milk should never be covered:
pans are better taan crooks TO set ill., because they
can be kept sweet easier. Third, skim when thirty
six hours old, unless it clabbers sooner. then it
should be skinned immediate y. Never let ii stand
longer than fory-eight hours, even if the milk is
not thick Skim with tin skinner into taaree or
four quart jar up thoroughly each time any
cream is added, allowing the air to penetrate to all
parts Of it. Do not add any for twelve hours
before churnng The churn should be scalded and
then rinsed in cold water. If the cream is 90 cold
it may be placed in warm room previous to churI-
ing but should not be allowed 10 go over 6Oo as the
churning raises the temperature somewhat After
churnirg about ten minutes the little bags contain
ing the butter lie in to break and it seems thick:
take the liz off and with knife scrape the cream
off the sides and lid finish by turning the churn
dash around for about five minutes, then take the
butter out sprinkle salt it, work it enough with
paddle or knife to thoroughly mix the salt hold
ing it to side to let the milk drain Off then make
into roll, two rolls if you prefer for there will
be about two pounds OF nice, solid golden butter
But do not think that such butter can be made If
the has nothing to eat but sedgegraSs and wild
onIous The COW must be well fed for neither we
nor the COWS have the power to make something
out of nothing.
Mrs. L. NJ. High Shoals. Ca: As this is the season
for nice housekeepers to and freshen I'D their
beds for spring, thought an easy plan for making
over cotton mattresses would be welcomed by the
sisters. Empty your ticks and have them washed;
then pick the cotton apart-the children will assist
in this part of tie work with great pleasure Take
your clean ticks, turn wrong side out, and sew
strong strips Of CLOTH about quarter of yard long
mark the places with piece of pasteboard about
eight or ten inches apart, mark on both sides d.
rectiy opposite. When this is done lay your tick on
table a bed and place your cotton in the end of
the tick Then tie the striIs all the way across,
ph cling in more cotton and tying down the strings
that orpos te eacn other There is no strainlng
or worrying with lacking with Il needle. You can
make one in less than an hour, after the cotton and
tick ready. Do not try TO put in all the cotton
taken from the old mattress-light beds are so much
more convenient. If | have failed to make tie
plan plain enough to be understood will cheer
fully answer any questions ON the subject. DO not
like to ia &c up 50 much valuable space by longer
description here.

two which WILL without doubt, DC Of general benefit.
Bibrous antGote for rattlesnnke poison is highly

stun lodi. four grains; hydrur,gai, chloride corro-
siye, two grains; bromide five dracbms. Ten drops
of this mixture taken with one tablespoonful Of
wine brandy IS d lse; 70 lie repeated if swelling

externally, on swelling of course. An Old Saxon
forester about die caused his secret, long and
successfully lractice, TO be publishcdan antidOte
for hydropho5ia. 1t is: Wash the wound imme-
d ntcy with cpid vinegar, water If the former is

choric acid ON wound. This, being mineral acid,
destroys the poison IN the saliva. l think every

these two autdotes for is terrible to suffer from
either poison, and every one that can should keep
a supply in season for snakes and dogs.
