from a happy, genial nature, or is his
attractive demeanor put on for the oc.
casion and laid off at home, as he lays
off his coat !? A very. young girl takes
it for granted that men are always as
she sees them in society polite,
friendly, and on their, good behavior.
# she marries early the man who hap
pens to please her fancy, she learns to
her sorry that, in nine cases, out of ten,
a man in society and a man at home
are widely different beings. Five
years Of that period Of life produce a
great change in opinions and feelings.
We frequently come to detest at
twenty-five what we admire at sixteen.

A GENTLE HINT.

Maud-"O, I just dote, on palm
istry. I've been studying it for a week,
and I can tell any ones fortune now"
Augustus-"W Well, tell mine, please"
"Well, let me see. This is the life
line, or the other one there is; but it
doesn't much matter; they look a good
deal alike. Yes, now l see You are
to meet some n who will be awfully
in love with you. but she will die an
old maid" "But why will she die an
old maid p because you won't have
sense enough to ask her to marry you;
that's hy."-Londom Queen.

HINTS TO H-oUsEKEEPERs.

Hang a small bag of charcoal in the
rain-water barrel to purify the water.
Salt and vinegar brighten brasses as
well as any more modern and expensive
potions.
Sweet potatoes require nearly twice
the time that Irish potatoes do either to
bake or boil.
To polish-nickel-plated goods after be-
coming black and not worn, use rouge or
whiting on a rag with a little oil.
Rubbing a brush in sweet oil, and then
in spirits of t%urpentine, will usually pre-
vent the unsightly black-and-blue spots.
To darken light mahogany and cherry,
bicromate of potash dissolved in water is
excellent, and gives it the appearance of
age. ..-.. t...- ...|4-
A very thin coat of what is known as
French picture varnish will restore chro-
mos and oil paintings to their original
brightness. .t.t
Tea or coffee stains will come out at
once if they are taken Immediately and
held over a pail while boiling water is
pOuIOu oPOh OlChh. % e. r H.
Never sun feather beds. Air them
thoroughly on a windy day in a cool
place. The sun draws the oil, and gives
the feathers a rancid smell.
1t sometimes costs less to have a badly
soiled room repainted, after a moderate
use of the mop and brush, than it does to
have it scrubbed and secured.
E EE-
Oilcloths should never be washed in
hot soapsuds; they should first be washed
clean with cold water, then rubbed dry
with a cloth wet in milk. The same
treatment applies to a stone or slate
hearth.
To make silk which has beer "tumbled"
and wrinkled appear nearly like new,
sponge it on the surface with a weak
solution Of gum arabic OF white gloves,
and iron it on the wrong side. Strong
black tea, cold, is a good thing to clean
black silk.
To season glass and china ware to sud-
den changes of temperature. SO that it
will remain sound after exposure to sud-
ded heat and cold, is best done by placing
the articles in cold water, which must
gradually be brought to the boiling point,
and then allowing to cool very slowly,
taking several hours to do it.
A dark brown scurf sometimes gathers
On a baby's head, giving the child an un-
cared-for and dirty appearance. This
may be easily removed by rubbing a little
v~aseline or sweet oil upon the spot, and
letting it remain for a few hours; then
upon washing it in warm water and soap
the offending dandruff will disappear, and
the little head be left clean and white as
any part of the body.
To remove the glossy appearance from
a diagonal cloth coat, first free from dust,
then sponge or brush with warp water
and ammonia, a teaspoonful of ammonia
to a pint of water, and a small piece of
CASTLE soap; then rinse in water, and
afterward sponge with hot coffee, and
rinse again in cold water; then hang to
dry. Before it is thoroughly dry, stretch
well with the hands or it will shrink.

A COMPARISON.

I'd rather lay out here among the trees
With the singin' birds an bum'lebees,
A KNOWN that I can do as l please,
Than to live what the folk call q life Of ease,
Up there in the city.
For I really don't 'zactly understan'
Where the comfort Is fer any man
In walkin' hot bricks and usin' q fan,
An enjoyin' himself as he says he can,
Up thar in the city.
It's kinder lonesome, mebbe you'll say.
Alvin out here day after day,
In this kinder easy, careless way,
But a hour out here is better'n q day
.HG< Up thar in the city,
As fer that, JUS look at the flowers aroun'
A-peepin, their heads up all ever the gFoun',
And the fruit a-bendin' the trees way down.,
You don't find such things as these in town,
f Or ruther in the city. r.,.F
As / said afore, such things, as these, .
The flowers, the birds an the bum'lebees,
An Nvin, out here among the trees, -1
Where you, can take your ease an do as you please,
Makes it better'n the city.
Now, all the talk don't mount to snuff
Bout this kinder life q bein' rough,
An I'm sure it's plenty good enough,
An tween you and me faint half as tough
AS Twin in the city.

AWHoLEsOME srIMUIANr.

OF hot milk as a sMmuIant, the
Medical Record says: Milk heated tc

ness and density. No one who, ia.
tigued by ~over-exertion of body and
mind, has ever experienced the reviv.
ing influence of a tumbler of this bev-
erage, heated as hot as it can be
slipped, will willingly forego a resort to
it because of its being rendered some
what less acceptable to the palate.
The promptnees with which its cordial
influence is felt is indeed surprising.
Some portions of it seem to be digested
and appropriated almost Immediately,
and many who now fancy they need
alcoholic stimulants when exhausted
by fatigue will find in this simple
draught an equivalent that will be
abnndantly satisfying and far more
enduring in its effects. =aoy Il. ! O.
III" There is many an ignorant, over.
worked woman who fancies she could
not keep up without her beer; she mis-
takes its ~momentary ~exhileration for
strength, and applies the whip instead
of nourishment to her poor, exhausted
frame. An honest, intelligent physi-
clan will tell her that there is more
real strength and nourishment in a
slice of bread than in a quart of beer;
but if she loves stimulants it would be
a piece of very useless information. 1t
is claimed that some of the lady clerks
in our own city, and those, too, who
are employed in respectable business
houses, are in the habit of ordering ale
or beer at the restaurants. They
probably claim that they are tired
and no one who sees their faithful de-
votion to customers all day will doubt
their assertions. But they should not
mistake beer for a blessing, or stimu-
lus for strength A careful examina-
ton of statistics will prove that men
and women who do not drink can en-
dure more hardships and do more
work and live longer than their less
temperate neighbors. But ".a.a
man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still, -
And woman is wonderfully like him
in this respect. ...
Furthermore, if a woman wants
anything, from a California trip to a
glass of toddy, you may rest assured
that her health will demand it, and it
sometimes demands it so loud and so
long that her friends are glad to yield
in time to save their own lives. A
tipping woman gets a pain or an ache
on a short notice, and if she has a
cold or a headache the whisky has to
suffer, and the drug stores in the
neighboxkood do a thriving business.
If her ale disorders her stomach, she
depends unpR-Fdose of whisky to cor
rect its effects, and SO her morning
beer and evening Bourbon do a CO.
operative business"

Let us suppose a railroad train to
leave the earth, travelling day and
night at the rate of fifty miles an hour
without stoppage. In six months it
would reach the moon, in two hun
dred years it would reach the sun, and
in six thousand years it would reach
the planet Neptune, the orbit of which
forms the extreme known limit of the
planetary system.-E1.

A mule with an artificial throat is
the latest thing in mules in Macon,
Ga. A valuable animal was afflicted
with a disease similar to l%aryngitis. A

would be impossible for the animal to
breathe through his, wilnpdppip9e arpor-
ton Of tie pipe was removed and a
silver tube was inserted and now the
mule breaths freely.-Er.

An exchange says: A COW that has
been made to raise a calf is seldom as
good as it was previous to being al
lowed to keep the calf, as it becomes
addicted to vices, among them that of
"holding up" the milk. The calf
should be removed from the dam as
early as possible, and taught to drink
from a pail or some artificial con-
trivance.

The best thing to fry potatoes in is
beef suet. In cold weather it will
keep for weeks, and some small pieces
thrown into a pan will keep yielding
fat as it is needed, and will be sweet
as nuts themselves when served with
potatoes. .. +

beautiful Russian girl, who was spending
the winter in Naples. Her parents were
delighted with the II atch, and while every
thing looked most promising for them both,
she suddenly fell il and died with tue Nea-
politan fever, which at certain seasons OF
the year is so fatal He helped nurse her
through her last days of illness, and at her
death was accused by her parents of hav-
ing killed her by his 'power of eyes, The
Russians are as superstitious about it as the
Italians That, added to his natural grief,
nearly killed him, and when we met him he
had Just commenced to rally from this great
trouble.
Little as we believed in such power, it
was strange to notice how many things oc-
CURED to corroborate the truth of the
stories we heard. Once in sitting on the
bench, and Just about starting to walk up
the steep hill to the tableland or plain on
which Sorrento proper is built, ID. suggested
that we should put my little girl on don
key which someone had used, and which
the guide was about to lead uphill. Every
one thought it coed idea. The child was
placed securely in the saddle. and just as
the donkey started, its hind feet sunk above
the knee JOINTS into the seemingly solid
earth. The other Italians looked at me
and at each other as much as to say: do
you see thats What did tell your OF
course, it could be easily accounted for, as
the water was very near, and might have
undermined the ground just there. Still, it
was curious. The next day on coming to
the same spot to join some friends who al
ways took morning dip with us in the
blue waters of the Mediterranean, we found
the party assembled aud sitting with them
friend we had not met for some time.
D., delighted to see him, said; My dear
fellow, how glad am to see you" and with
the words, placed his hand on his flend's
head. As though the magician i'll the play
had said, Presto! changem the chair crum-
bled under him, and down went the p or
fellow TO the ground. OF course, 1t could
be easily explained. The chair was ricllety
and ready to fall to pieces at the least addi-
tional weight.
| could never have understood the sire lgth
of this superstition had | not witnessed it
and known personally one of the dreaded
jettatura. Certainly, at his baptism feat
the malicious fairy must have been forgot
ten, and so endowed him with this fatal
gift, which overshadoSs an otherwise
happy and brilliant career.

The DunEards.

In the northern states there is an organi-
cation of christian people usually called
Dunkards, sometimes Thinkers, bnt among
themselves they are called Brethren. They
number ebout 100 900 members. 9, 900 min
isters, have number Of colleges, large
publishing houses. tract work and mission
boards They are not only a well-to-do,
hard working class Of people, but are rap
idly increasing in numbers. and by emigra-
ton are pushing their evangelistic work all
over the west.
For years l was editor of their church
paper in Illinois, but on account Of i'll
health in my family ! was compelled to
move south. Since here / have worked up
two congregations of our people in Florida,
and now desire to see what may be done in
other states. We have but few members
in the south. will be pleased to hear from
any member OF our people, or their chill
dren or riends living in any Of the south
ern states, as 1 would like to communicate
with them. Many of our people desire to
settle in the south, and are looking for sufta-
BILE openings for settlements. In character
they somewhat resemble the Quaker, and
prefer to settle in communities where they
can have the advantages of good schools
and good society.
The papers of the south will confer q
favor by copying this notice.

SUITS
Particular People

A London tailor's die
tum was that he could
take a meal sack and
make a suit of clothes
worthy Of a gentleman's
wearing if the fit was
right. Gentlemen have
fancies in dressing. One
goes forsomething snowy,
another expressly calls for
a special weave, and SO on.
But the particular points
of a suit are fit and style.
Material and make may
be ever so good, but con
demnation will be swift if
there be, failure in fit and
style. IN these two points
our stock of suits for busi-
ness and everyday wear
fulflls the highest ideals
of dress, with due atten-
tion given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfectness of
making, and, above all,
with the wit Of the cloth
ier-his ha nd work
shining at it's brightest,
in the tone of fashion
reigning in them, impalp-
ably, distinctly stamping
them as stylish and fault
less in fit. We eXtol these
less highly than a gentle
man would in examining
them. They are ready
made, and at prices of
ready made. You'll be
likely to think them above
the average of custom
work when you see them.
