ties like the larger ones in which pre-
pared horseradish is bought, or small
pickle bottles or fruit jars will do. In
one of these bottles l keep paste, made
of flour and water and boiled little,
and before taking from the stove / add a
teaspoonful of powdered alum, and
few drops of oil of cloves or sassafras.
This will keep without moulding. Near
it keep a long handled paste brush.
find this convenient when / wish to
fasten bit of loose wall paper, put a
newpaper clipping into my scrap book,
and sometimes for sealing packages or
papers for mailing.
In another bottle / keep plaster of
paris. This is useful for many purposes.
Mix some of it with little water and
you can fasten on lamp-tops or door
knobs. l fastened a knob on the
kitchen door first digging out the lead
with sharp knife nearly year ago and
it is firm yet, If there are any broken
places in the wall made by chairs, mix
some of the plaster with common sand,
using water enough so it will spread
smoothly, fill the places with this and
smooth off with knife before papering
Try it for stopping rat holes, only have
the sand quite coarse, and it will give
the rats the teethache. 1t hardens
quickly so it must not be mixed till Just
before using.
In another bottle I keep washing
soda. This is nice for removing grease
spots from wood, and for cleaning lamp
burners. When burner becomes cloggcd
and dusty, where you cannot reach with
scissors or rag, put it in an old tin can,
with some water and lump of the soda,
and boil for short time on top OF the
stove; then dry and polish and it will
be all right. This will prevent smoking
and the bad smell arising from it.
-Four years ago l doctorcd the kitchen
clock in the same way. 1t was COM
mon brass clock and had become dusty
and refused to 90. So | took off the
hands and face, removed the bra S
works, and put them carefully in a kettle
with some water and soda and boiled
awhile. When clean and bright took
them out, rinsed in some hot water, put
them in the oven on some sticks Of wood
TO dry. When dry, L oiled them with
sewing machine oil, and replaced in the
case. 1t has never troubled me since
and has kept time correctly
Vases can be made by painting the
bottles some pretty color, and, when dry,
fastening on the same bright colored
pictures, aud then vanishing with trans
parent Narnish. l painted one black,
put band of gilt paper around the bot
tom of the bottle, and round the lower
part of the neck. Then fastened on
bright butterflies and few small sprays
of flowers. Another l painted white
and put on small black silhouette pic
tures, that l cut from paper, and black
bands, and it has quite a japanese APP
pcarance. They can also be gilded, and
if you wish them to look rough, first
sprinkle some oatmeal on them.

gentleman named Lawrence Hammond

tory Of portion of his family. lie has
three brothers who are triplets. They
were born in Jones County, and about
the time they reached manhood they
wandered apart; one went to Monroe
County, where he still lives, and two
went to Mississippi. Eleven years ago
the three brothers met and celebrated
their siXtieth birthday. l was present,
and, as you may imagine, it was a re-
markable and interesting occasion. On
the ,; d of last February they were II
years old, and al of them are stout,
healthy men. They were in Macon at
the last state Fair and stopped with me,
and if We live they will be here at the
next state Fair. The two in Mississippi
are Jesse and Thomas and the one living
in Monroe County is Ben. IL isn't often

RATES OF ApVERrIsdMu.
NEVER MORE.

Far away from the world her heart throba
are stealing
Over field, over mountain over river and
rilI;
She heeds not the charm Of their silent ap7
pealing,
She's wrapped in her musings, and it's
peace to be still.
Where is her lover, and what path does he
follow?
Does he ever look back to think of her
paint
Does he ever look back from mountain or
hollow,
With sigh that he never shall meet her
again'
Let her dream of him now in the light wind
that passes
Over lilac and myrtle, where fingers his
81 ad1;
Let her dream of him now in the pain that
harnesses
The sheen and the shadow, which kiss as
they fade.
Ah, proud was the glance that unkindly es-
tranged them,
And secret the torture both hearts had to
bear.
Was either to blame that light word had
changed them,
And pride was the mask weeping love had
to wearl
Loves chain may be severed, and its bloom
seem declining,
As stems full of sorrow, proceed their own
way;
But the links and the bloom will live on re-
pining,
Till the hearts of both lovers are wrapped
in the clay.

TWILIGHT.


Through silent air, DER miles on miles Of
gray,
No sound is heard
Where to the quiet plain the waning day
Whispers her latest word
Beyond the dim wide land serene, the sea
Kisses the shore,
Where tired waves but now made fretful
plea,
Tossing the pebbles o'er.
Ah, sweet the calm when back into the blue
Wild clouds sink home,
Nor longer mar the pure undying hue
Deep'ning DER heavens dome.
Like dusky phantoms bred of earth's dark
breast,
The cattle lie
Where once they wandered, now content to
rest,
Still as the earth and sky.
So great the silence is, it seems to grow
Into a sound
All, surely now our reverent hearts shall
know
The secret earth has foundl
More eloquent the burthened stiffness cries
Than sounds at noon.
And deep'ning brown Of land and blue of
skies,
Soft with the rising moon,
Reveal at last the tender bond that binds
Great Natures whole,
AS patient through life's eager day love finds
Soul bound at last to soul.
Thou dost not speak, who standest at my
side
At waning Of the day.
Where we have often watched the eventide
Steal into mystic gray.
But yet, though thou art dumb, hear thy
speech,
Thy heart hear,
That scarcely in the troublous day could
reach
Unto my deafened ear;
And sweeter words than all the words
know
Thy silence brings,
80 let the silence to thee murmur low
The song my spirit sings

But some folks can't be Christians on

Let patience have her perfect work,

Well, she'll find work till you are old
And gray.
All is not gold that glitters' No.
