AN AEROLITE.

AS Mr.. L. N. McMullen was enjoy
ing his vesper smoke last evening in
his house yard on Seelye avenue his
attention was arrested by a blazing
object in the SKY shooting his way.
He called to his wife to step and see it,
and as she responded to. the call an
aerolite imbedded itself in the ground
within ten feet of where he stood.
When it struck, the mass of fire re-
solved itself into a ball as large AS a
football and burned for a few seconds.
The atmosphere was filled with a
strongsulphurous odor. For a moment
Mr.. McMullen was struck dumb with
amazement and terror, but on recov-
ering he fastened to the spot where
the mass had fallen. He found a hole
in the ground from which a consider
able amount of heat issued. Resolved
at all hazards to find out what had
entered the ground, he procured a
light, and seized a small Ratchet, dug
down for a distance Of two feet, when
he found a substance about as large as
a small apple, too hot to handle. He
threw it out on the ground to cool,
which took about half an hour.
After being sufficiently cooled to
handle he took it into the house and
proceeded to examine it. 1t is a half
sphere, weighs about twelve ounces,
and has the appearance of copper
coated with a thick black substance.
1t is so hard that a sharp knife will not
cut it. The bottom, which is fiat, is
punctured with small holes, making it
somewhat resemble a sponge. One
side is corrugated and has the appear
ance of beaten brass, only the color is
a duller, coarser one. The mass is
covered IN spots with a thin, melted
substance, which causes it to resemble
a new casting. Mr.. McMullen will
place it in the hands of Professor
Morley of Adelbert College for anal
ysis.-N. Y. Times.

THINGS THAT CANNOT BE
BOUGHT.

a would give a thousand dollars if
I could play like that" said an attend
ant at a concert, after hearing a bril-
liant musician. But ten thousand dol
lars, or a million, or all the gold that
has been coined since money vas in
vented, would not have purchased the
skill. The musician was not excep-
tionally great. The nearer had proba-
bly, as good natural ability, but the
success he coveted could only be won
by months and years of arduous prac
tice. All that money could do in this
or other cases would be to furnish op-
portunlties for instruction and leisure
for practice. A certain great million
aire could not write a legible letter,
could hardly write his W name. He
would have given thousands of dollars
late in life to have bought the priv
lege, but the skill was not to be found
in the market. AS there is no royal
road to learning, so there if no fnan-
cial road to the same goal. When we
hear a nan say that he would give a
large sum of money to be able to do a
certain thing which is within his reach,
if he would only take time and pa
thence to acquire it, we doubt the gen
uiness of his desire.
There are other things that money
cannot buy. 1t cannot buy affection.
There are homes that are enriched
with all that wealth a furnish, but
they have never been c~onsecrated by
love. A marriage for money is the
most shameless of all bargains. Gold
may encircle the finger, but it cannot
girdle the heart.
Another thing which cannot be
bought is character. The heart of
Luther was stirred within him by the
shameless sale of Roman indulgences.
Release from the penalties of sin, it
was assumed, could be bought by the
dross Of gold; and the bold monk
raised his voice against this wicked
form of gambling. Equally delusive
was the assumption that the merits of
the saints could be applied to liquilate
the debts of sinners. A great fund of
Righteousness, it was said, had been

BEAUTY SLEEP.

What the good man may do for his
thin wife is first to give her three
months rest. Not to take her forcibly
away from her cares, to live at a
crowded resort and worry over the
home left behind, but to see that
things are set right and to her mind
before she goes. Many a woman
never knows what it is to have any
thing her WI way from girlhood to
funeral, and this constant denial Of
preferences drives the nails in any
woman's coffin. If she wants particu-
lar sanitary arrangements about the
house, or a new garden, or some I'm
pleasant inmate provided for, let her
have it if she is worth keeping alive.
Then with household affairs to her
mind, let her go where she can wear
a plain dress all day. 1t would be the
greatest earthly luxury for great
many worn women to be able to go to
bed at shutdown and sleep enough to
make up for years of watching and
strain. It is proved by long experiment
with people out of health, that sleep be-
for emidnight rests far more than after,
and the first morning light has a slim
illus that does not belong to any other
time. Gardeners know that plants
derive more benefit from the frs hour
of sun after it's rising than all the rest
of the day, and human beings share
the stimulus, provided a long nights
rest precedes. The rest and the early
sun have specially good effect in fail
ure of the heart and nervous depres-
sion.-Sharley Dare.

speedily and delightfully."- ended by the
application Of a small bit of cotton, sat-
urated in a strong solution of ammonia,
to the defective tooth.
Silk must never be ironed, as the heat
takes all life out of it, and makes it seem
stringy and fabby, but if you wish to
press out old, bits of silk and ribbon for
fancy work, use IN iron only moderately
hot, and place two t~hicknesses Of paper
between that and the silk.
Stains Of fruit on good table linen can
be removed without injury by using the
following with care: Pour boiling water
on chloride of lime, in the proportion of
one gallon to a quarter of a pound, bottle
it, cork it well, and in using be careful
not to stir it. Lay the stain in this for
a moment, then apply white vinegar and
boil the table linen.

HE HAD THAT ONE ON.

"Look here, Maria" shouted Mr..
Breadwinner, in great wrath, "there
isn't a button on of my shirts"
"No ?" said Mrs. Breadwinner, with
a show of genuine interest, "and the
kitchen roof leaks worse than ever,
the back of the stove has been burned
out for three weeks, the front door
won't shut and if l knew how to weld
a cast-iron hinge I'd fix that front gate
myself before another day went by.
Why don't you wear the other shirt?"
And Mr.. B kept sc quiet he could
hear himself breathe hard.-Brooklyn

MANNERS ARE DECAYING.

Higher education has something to
do with the gradual decline in that
social and domestic sweetness which is
the outgrowth of the performance of
loving little duties and attentions one
toward another. The daughter has
her school, her college, her post grad
uate course, her societies, her discus
sions of political economy and her
"aims," and no longer relieves her
mother of household cares or places
the slippers by the fire for her father.
The son has his night key, his own set
of companions and associates, is only
seen at meal times, and not always
then, and has so many engagements
that mother or sister can rarely rely
upon him as an escort, and are often
obliged to seek or accept the attention
from strangers which they do not find
at home.
But this is not the worst of "soci-
ETY." young men. Vanity and imbe-
cility are fast rendering them an in
distinguishable race, neither divine,
human nor respectable as brutes, but
a new species, possibly the "missing
link" to be investigated and assigned
a place by naturallsts. A young dude
recently made it a condition of going
to a party with his sister that she
should not "introduced p" anyone. He
didn't want to "incwease" the list of
his acquaintance besides, he was
"afwaid" the "~collection might be
mixed" This is literally true.
Modern improvements, inventions
and luxurious appliances have done
their share toward Kidding us Of the
humanities. Nobody now wants to
"take any trouble" for themselves or
for other people, not even the mem
bers of their own households. What
is the use of taking a message or car
rying parcel? There is the telephone
in the house or Office and the messen-
ger boy on the corner. Memory is no
longer cultivated in the direction of
performing thoughtful little acts, and
fails even in the service of directing
others to attend to them.-Jemmaa

HINTS TO ~HOUSEKEEPERS.

In dong up sateens do not use any
starch.
Windows may be kept looking nice by
washing in boraN water.
In washing black cloth beef's gall in

When whitewashing your cellar add an
ounce of carbolic acid to each gallon Of
wash before applying.
In finishing up a nice garment, do not
try to save the basic threads, but cut be-
tween each stitch, and then remove with
care.
To darken light mahogany and cherry,
bichromate of potash dissolved in water
is excellent, and gives it the appearance
of age.
Windows should be washed with warm
water, using soap only when it is neces-
sary, then dried with linen and polished
with chamols.
To entirely remove paint from wood,
apply a thick coat of two parts freshly
slaked lime and n part sal soda, mixed
thick. After twenty-four hours wash of.
Hold your breath and contract your
abdominal muscles is the remedy for sea-
sickness suggested by an English ply
stefan, DR.. E. P. Thurston, who speaks
from experience.
Persons consumptively inclined, those
with feeble digestion, aged people, and
those inclined to chilliness and cold ex-
tremities, are especially benefited by a
liberal use of sweet cream.
When making a dress of new cloth,
select pattern to your fancy, but when
re-making an old one pick out a style in
the fashioning of which you can use the
pieces to the best advantage.
When any person finds it easier to sit

WHEN W1FE's AEON AWAY.

Somehow yarns around the grocery
Amt so funny as before,
/. An I'm all the time forgettin'
This or that ere little chore:
When / git out in the kitchen,
Want to hang around an stay
Guess I'm foolish caus' this ev'nin',
Why-my wife's a-go'n' away
She's a-ixin' things up for me
With a thoughtful, lovin' care,
Tellin' me that somethin's here,
An somethin' else Is over there /;
Lookin' sober, speakin' low-voiced,
Though she hasn't much to say:
Ketch her eyes on me all dim-like-
Guess she hates to 60 away.
Wish twas over-wish twas way of,
Wish we didn't have to part;
That's jist what 1 keep a-thinkin',
An a-feelin' In my heart.
P'raps our sperits see much furder
Than the partin' of to-day,
An jest hint what they can't tell us,
When a loved ones go'n' away.
Calls to mind another journey,
BY an by we all must 60,
Wonder who's a-gettin' ready
For the train that moves so Slow
Brings the tears to think about 1t,
So 1 git nigh her an pray,
Itmay be my time for startin',
Jest when she's a-gO'n' away.

whites of three eggs to a stiff froth, and
add to it gradually the sugar and grated
lemon. Make a thick paste, whisking
thoroughly. Cut into pieces of the de-
sired shape, handling the paste as little as
possible. Place them on coiled white
paper, and bake on tins in a moderate
oven for eight or ten minutes.
ONION SOUP.
Two large Spanish or three Bermuda
onions, two tablespoonful of butter, two
quarts of soup stock, salt and pepper.
Peel and chop the onions into dice. Put
the butter into a frying-pan, and when
hot add the onions, and stir until a nice
brown. Put the stock on to boil; when
1T bolls, skim the onions out of the butter
and add them to the stock; let them sim
mer for thirty minutes, add salt and
pepper, and it is ready to serve.
ANGEL FOOD.
Whites of eleven eggs, beaten to a stiff
froth in the dish you intend to make the
cake in, one-half pint sifted -four, and
sift it four times, and then add one even
~teaspoonful of cream of tartar, and sift all
twice more; two-thirds of a pint of gran
ulated sugar, sifted four times, add two
~teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Have -four and
sugar all ready before beating the eggs,
and then add lightly the -four and cream
of tartar, then the sugar and vanilla; don't
grease the pans. Bake forty minutes.
CHERRY CAKE.
Beat up one-quarter of a pound of cas-
tor sugar with the yolks of ten eggs for
quite twenty minutes, add ~one-quarter
pound blanched and cut-up almonds, then
II unces bread crumbs and well-whisked
whites of five eggs; when well beaten to-
gether put in a shallow cake tin; take
about half a pint of cherries, fresh or
bottled Gf the latter lay them first on a
sieve till quite dry, drop them into the
cake and put the tin at once into the oven
and bake for three-quarters of an hour.
sTEwED CHOPS.
Broil the chops and let them get cold;
then put into a saucepan with two table
spoons of butter and one of minced onion;
cover tightly and set in a kettle of cold
water; bring slowly to a boil. At the
end of an hour add a cup of hot broth
(made from the trimmings of chops),
seasoned with pepper, salt, a pinch Of
cloves and chopped parsley; cover again
and stew gently until the chops are ten
der, setting the saucepan directly on the
range. Then lay them on a hot dish;
strain the gravy, thicken with Drowned
flour, stir in a good teaspoon of currant
jelly; boil one minute and pour over the
chops.
NATIONALIST SAUCE.
Put the yolks of two or three eggs into
a narrow cup, with a little salt, and stir
until it becomes quite thick; then, drop
by drop, add fine salad oil, stirring it
briskly all the time, thus completely
working each drop of oil into the egg be-
fore the next is added; squeeze a tea
spoonful of lemon juice into it; more oil
may be added, a little at a time. AS the
mass swells it forms a solid, smooth lump,
which, when sufficiently large for the
purpose, has to be .thinned with a little
vinegar. Care must be taken not to add
too much at once, as this sauce easily be-
comes too thin; it has to be of the con-
sistency of a very stiff batter.

SOME OF THE TAXES.

A vote for Cleveland is vote for the policy of lower taxes. A vote for Harrison is a vl te to add to the burdens now weight ing the people. The practical question in this campaign is whether we shall have higher or lower taxes. There is no issue of protection and free trade. Neither party propose, to abolish our protective system. It might be we'll for of the voters to look at some of the taxes pays and con- sider the burden that will be increased if the professed policy of the republican patty is endorsed by the country.

THE republicans are building hopes ot carrying New York for Harrison on the mayoralty fight in New York city. Mayor Hewitt is credited in some quarters with a hearty desire to defeat Cleveland. Whence comes this desire is stated in a Washington dispatch to the Boston Traveller as follows: ''The cause of en- mity between Mayor Hewitt, of New York, and President Cleveland dates back to Sc verdi years ago. Mayor Hewitt, it is un- derstood, was largely interested in catt,' interests of the far West, and when President Cleveland issued his order f"l the destruction of all fences upon govern ment lands which had been erected by the cattle syndicates, Mayor Hewitt went to the president land, finding that he could not secure a revocation, of the order, made an earnest plea for an extension of the time given to the cattle men. He was un- successful, and from this time he ceased to regard Grover Cleveland as great man."
