How to Preserye a Wife.

Many husbands foil to make a success of preserv.
ing their wives-some through neglect but oftener
through ignorance. 1t is important, Of course, to
have good fruit, but an inferior quality has been
known to make fairly good article when properly
managed; crab apples Tor instance. If man is I'M
fortunate enough to have wife of that kind to pre-
9 Eerye, let him remember that grabbed woman
does not like to claw the air and that his happiness
and success depends on the constant use of an
article called patience and hard to find in market
IN sufficient quantity. This fruit must be gently
steamed in silence every hour often as tie fire
Is made in the cooking stove Continue this treat
ment until the acid and bitter flavor is extracted
then add little sugar at time to see how it tastes
Great caution is necessary, for everything must be
done at the right time, and even then he who sue
ceeds may reasonably look for his wings to sprout
The most essential ingredient for this preserving
Is sugar-in other words love. Just how much each
one must decide for himself There is SO much DIFF
ference in the quantity required that rule can be
given, but remember it is better TO have too much
than too little for every one would prefer canded to
sour preserves.
We have, however known exceptions to the
above rule, not accounted for in moral science or
chemistry. Cases have been known to require but
little sugar and four times the quantity of bitter
herbs and yinegar-in other words neglect and
harsh treatment to keen the preserves from ferment-
Ing and bursting the jar. When managed in this
way, however they become tasteless or very bitter
and the "cook" viii wish he had had a ''millstone
about his neck" that time he went swimming be-
fore he popped the question" Season according

of good literature, always including TIE CONSTR
TuTIoN) the putting away of coats, etc. and
last but not least petting The latter IS very in

Not the least important item is the kind of Jar in
which you keep your preserves. Do not select one

"woRKING LIKE A DOG"
In This Case it is Two Dogs and They Work
with Surprising Cneerfulness.

with Surprising Cneerfulness.
From the New York Morning Journal
Down on Liberty street, Baltimore, is q broom
factory From the first floor, where they store and
ship the srawware, up four Fights of narrow stairs
TO the garnet the atmosphere is redolent with dried
hay.
The tip top story of all is where they make the
brooms The straw is sorted, tied into wisos, COM
bined into bundles, attached to stick wound by
an apparatus like turning lathe seWed and there
you have broom in the rough. 1t is still full of
straw seed and must be cleansed.
That is where the dogs come in, says the Balti-
more News. First there is a small drum about two
feet long and foot in diameter fitted lengtiwse
with eight rows of blunt teeth couple of inches
long This is connected by belt to a large wooden
wheel perhaps six feet in diameter ard two feet in
thickness, which reyolves upon a horizontal axis
The innor surface of the wheel is fitted with ceats
at intervals of six inches So and the sides of the
wheel enclosed by bars close enough together to
keep the dogs from falling out.
Into this when any brOoms are to be cleasned
Rover and N silie are hustled They stand at the
bottom OF the wheel, Of courEe, with their noses
pointing in the same direction the wheel is started
by the woTkmen in charge and away go the two
dogs.
"Git up Rover" go along, Nclliep and they
gallon up the inside Of that wheel as though they
were after big lat dinner. Away goes the wheel
and the belt and the drum, broom Is laid across
the drum the steel teeth comb out the straw seed
In two seconds; another broom goes on, and SO on
until the pil2 of new bro1ns is exhausted.
"Whoa, there! and the brules slow down care
fully, being carr ed half way around backward be-
fore the apparatus comes to & staDdstIll.
Then the dogs leap through the bars, scamper
around the lot, lick everybody hand in great glee
and ca led away 10 their kennels in the corner
Nellie is . stout Newfoundland and RoTer black
hound. They were trained IN short time without
8 bit Of trouble it IS said and they seem to like
their work about as well as professional pedestrians

memorable battle, having obtained them from.
the humble headstones in her walk among tie
graves ofthose buried on the field. She re-

for information that had been long sought for
without success The other articles were
"Preserving Husband" and "How to Pre-

the latter was in some way lost At the soil
citation OF many, she has kindly furnished it
again, and we take pleasure in presenting it to
our readers, and insist that every wife must
see that her husband reads it, with the hope
that he may profit thereby.

Long yearsago, so runs the ancient story,
Two bells were sent from Spain to that far cline
New found, beyond the sea- that to Gods glory
And in His house together they might chime.
And to this day one bell is safely swinging
Within its shelt'ring tower where clear md free
1t hallows each day with its mellow ringing
The other bell, the mate, was lost at sea.
And when i'll gentle chimes the bell is pealing,
The people listen; for they say they hear
An echo from the distant ocean stealing
1t is the lost ones answer. faint yet clear.
AL love, like those two bells we saileth together
And you have reached your holy work and rest.
But stormy was the way and rude the weather,
And was lost beneath the wave s white crest
Over my buried heart the waters glisten,
Across my breast the sea-weeds wave and Irvine
Dead is my souls best life, save when listen.
And hear your spirit calling unto mine
