Every one needs to have two facts

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE


-Ollye Oil saturated with camphor
makes an excellent application for in
nammatory swellings. also for rubbing
rhe0matic joints.
When putting away the silver tea
or coffee-pot which is not used every
day. lay little stick across the top uu-
der the cover. This will allow fresh
air to get in and prevent mustiness.
-Many nervous young housekeepers
keep open the oven door to see if the
oven is right, and their things never
get cooked, because they allow all the
heat to escape. This is great mis-
take.
Slices of bread spread with butter
may be laid'on top OF a good custard
and baked in the usual manner. Or
they may be laid in dish alternately
with stewed or preserved fruit, GUS
tard poured over them and baked.
Silk. or any thing that has silk in
1t. should be washed in water that is
almost cold. 1t may be washed in suds
OF nice white soap, but soap must not
be rubbed on; rinse in clear water, al
most cold. Avoid the use of hot irons
to smooth silk.
Fruit Pudding. stale bread,
pour over hot water and soak awhile.
Chop as for dressing. though n6t so
fine, place layer of bread in buttered
tin. then a layer of fruit previously
stewed. having the last layer bread
Bake half an hour and serve with sugar
and cream or any pudding sauce.
Chestnut gathering is delightful
occupation, and some people obtain so
many chestnuts that the matter of their
preservation is serious question. To
keep cbestnuts from four to six
months, mix each bushel with pint of
salt, shake thoroughly and keep in a
dry place, where the temperature is
from 40 to so degrees.
Some cooks will persist in making
tea or coffee quite a while before it is
needed on the table, and then let it
simmer away at the back of the stove
while they see to the cooking of the
other materials for the meal. This is a
great mistake. When every thing else
is about cooked then is the time to
think of making the tea or coffee, for
they must be fresh in order to taste
good.
Fish Pie:-Any cold fish can be
used in this way, such as cod or had
dock. Clear the fish from the bones,
put layer of it in a pie-dish, sprinkle
with pepper and salt; then put a layer
of bread crumbs, little nutmeg. and
chopped parsley. Repeat this until the
dish is quite full. Pour over little
milk or water to moisten it, and cover
firmly with layer of bread crumbs or
mashed potatoes. Bake for half an
hour.
To free canaries and other birds of
insects the following method is recon-
mended by one who says he has success
fully practiced it for years: At about
dusk cover the cage with a white cloth.
During the night the insects will crawl
from the birds on to the cloth, where
they may be seen running about when
the cloth is removed at daybreak. The
insects may be killed by putting the
cloth into boiling water A repetition
of the process will soon clear away the
pests without injuring the birds.

LIES VOYAGE.

Two little children at dawn Of day,
Laughing and romping in merry play,
In the pleasant springtime weather;
The brooklet murmurs close at their feet,
And the birds in the tree-tops. and buttercup
sweet
Nod and glance in the waters feet
And they sing and dance together.
Oh, swift are the hours,
And gay are the flowers,
In childhood's sunshine blowing;
And the heavens are bright
With sapphire light,
And the days in q whirl are going.
A youth and maid meath the MONDAY sun
Talk of the new life for them begun,
In the pleasant summer weather;
The lilies bend down low at their feet,
And the roses breathe out odors sweet
And their lips full oft in true love meet
And their lives fiow on together.
I Oh, sweet are the flowers
In Loves golden bowers
When happy hearts are beating;
And bright are the skies,
I Where Love dreaming lies,
And the weeks in a dream are fleeting.
A man and a woman, at close Of day,
Wander along through the forest gray
In the golden autumn weather;
The leaves are rustjing down at their feet,
And the branches above them in arches meet,
But no new joys their tired eyes greet.
And they wander on together.
& Oh, tranquil the ways
OF our latter days.
When the sweet, sad winds are blowing;
And the skies bend low,
With their clouds of snow,
And the months are serenely going.
Two narrow graves in the moonbeam's light,
Clad in soft robes of purest white,
In the snowy wintry weather;
The river flows on dark at their feet,
And the snowf1akes above them gently beat,
Yet not one sound does their deaf ears greet
/ And they dream and repose together.
Oh, happy at last,
From the worlds cold blast
Side by side in their graves they're lying:
Life here is done,
Life there begun
And the years are swiftly flying.

twas half-past eight The boy was
tired enough to fall asleep in boiler

force of bis will on the problem OF
keeping awake, and he was just awake
enough as the clock struck the half
hour to ask his two hundred and forty
seventh question.

colt and l got on your horse. which
would be the biggest?"
Then his father laid down the paper
which he had been endeavoring tc
read ever since dinner. and took the,
weary boy upon his knee.

Why have 1 few questions to ask
you, Robert? You don't know? Why

Why because why? Oh. because?
Well, why oh, because? Come, wake

And why can't you go to sleep? Be-
cause l won't let you? Quite right,
my son; you have more intelligence
that I gave you credit for. And why
won't l let you go to sleep? Because
l keep asking you questions? Quite
right. And why do keep asking yau
questions? You don't know? Oh.
that isn't the answer. Rouse up, my
son. open your eyes and answer me.
You exhibited intelligence before; con-
tinue the exhibition. Why do keep
asking you questions? Because said
l would? Quite right. And why did
1 say l would? l am sorry TO be
obliged to pinch you, Robert, and also
to have to rebuke you for crying out
SO loud; but can not permit you to
fall asleep until my questions are sat
isfactorily answered. Why did / say
would ask you questions? Don't cry out
so loud, Robert, when pinch you, or
] shall have to proceed to extremities.
Do you know what mean by proceed
ing to extremities? No? Why don't
you know? Wake up, Robert, and
cease sniveling. Why don't you know
what l mean, Robert? And why don't
you want to keep awake and answer
my questions? Because you're sleepy?
That's no reason. Do you know why
that's no reason? No? Why no.

''Well, I'm going to put him to bed
