WashlngtOn,s Inauguration.

The people of the City of New York
are already preparing for the celebration
OF the huudredth anniversary of General
Washington's Inauguration as President
OF the United states, which occurred on
the Both of April, 1889.
New York was then city of about
thirty thousand inhabitants, and occupied
only the lower extremity of Manhattan
Island. Trinity Church was regarded as
being cup town." and the rest of the
island was pure country-small farms
and market-gardens, with here and there
villa of some pretensions to elegance.
Nevertheless, the committee having
the coming festival in charge will find it
difficult to equal the brilliant and be-
coming pageant which the men of 1899
arranged for the reception Of the Presi-
dent-elect, or the impressive ceremonial
which accompanied his taking the oath.
Washington Irying's description of
them, in the fourth volume of his
biography of the Father Of his Country,
is written with peculiar warmth and
fiuency, for the author was a boy six
years of age when the Inauguration oc-
CURED, and may have witnessed some of
its striking scenes. He could remember
being presented to the President by his
nurse, as a child who bore the name of
Washington, and he could recall the
thrill of pleasure which he experienced
when the great man placed hand upon
his head.
The New YORK committee could, no
doubt find suggestions in lrving's glow
ing narrative. The water pageant was
memorably fine. At Elizabethport, in
New Jersey, fifteen miles from the city,
the Committee of Congress met General
Washington, and conducted him to his
seat on "a splendid barge" built for that
great day, and manned by thirteen mas
ter-pilots in white uniforms, commanded
by Commodore James Nicholson, re-
nowned for his gallantry and enterprise
in the Revolutionary War.
Other barges followed, draped in col
ors, and as they moved along the pro-
cession of boats continually increased In
number, until a grand flotilla swept on
toward the city, saluted as it passed by
every vessel anchored in the harbor.
One joyous moment Irving describes as
though he had seen it from the window
of his fathers house. Amid the general
gayety and enthusiasm, while from every
ship came the sound of martial music or
the thunder of great guns, one vessel
was silent and did not display a single
flag.
This was the Spanish man-of-war Gal
weston. She remained silent and undeco-
rated until the Presidents barge was
nearly abreast of her, when 'suddenly,
as if by magic, the yards were manned,
the ship burst forth, as it were, into full
array of flags and signals, and thundered
salute of thirteen guns" 1t was hap
py thought, and beautifully executed.
The other ceremonials of the week
were in harmony with this auspicious re-
ception, and the demeanor of the man
gave dignity to every scene in which he
appeared. Certainly the New York gen.
tlemen will need all the time at their
command to devise and prepare a cele-
braton that shall be as worthy of the
wealthy metropolis in 1889 as that of 1889
was of the little seaport town. Youths

THE STOVE IN THE Ev1LLAoE


When the twilight has deepened to darkness
They gathered from far and from near,
Old farmers who plodded the distance
As pilgrims their shrines to revere;
At the shabby old store at the " corners
They met and they entered the door,
For the Mecca of all these old cronies
Was the stove in the old village store.
It was guiltless Of beauty or polish,
And its door was unslillfully hung,
But they made glad circle around IL,
And the genial warmth loosened each
tongue;
And they talked Of the crops and the weather,
Twin subjects TO gossips most dear,
And the smoke from their pipes, vt blended,
Gave tinge to the whole atmosphere.
Full many the tales they related,
And wondrous the yarns that they spunr
And doubtful the facts that they stated,
And harmless the wit and the fun
But il ever discussion grew heated
1t was all without tumult or din,
And they gave their respectful attention
When a customer chanced to come in.
When the evening was spent and the hour .
For the time of their parting had come
The raped from their pipes the warm ashes,
And reluctantly started for home;
Agreeing to meet on the morrow
When the day, with its labors was DER,
For the Mecca of all the old cronies
Was the stove in the old village store.

sweening and Dusting.

Open your windows before sweeping
Cif there is no wind to blow the dust
round); usually one or more can be
opened where there will be no breeze.
Dust your ornaments, shelf at time,
and carry them by themselves to a table
in another room. Do the same by all.
Also the books, keeping each lot separate
to avoid confusion in replacing. Take
your draperies down, if easy TO unhOok
them; if not, tie them up and have them
taken to a back yard and shaken and
neatly folded. Wipe off your pictures,
and either turn face to the wall or cover
them with old newspapers. Dust care
fully each piece of furniture and take
them into the other rooms; then shut
your door, and after bru hing the dirt off
the window ledges out into the yard,
and brushing off the mop-boards, sweep;
take a very slightly damped broom,
beaten till the drops are off, and go
round the margins OF the room till clean,
sweeping with the broom in front of you,
and keeping the broom close to the floor.
Don't whisk the dust up into the air,
lodging it on the walls, to horrify you,
after you are all through, with white
fog settled all over everything. Sweep
slowly. Then when the margins are swept,
take rpetsweeper and go evenly and
regularly over the room mot in zig-zag
way; and after the worst is taken up,
lake your broom and 90 all over it care
fully, keeping the broom to the floor
closely as possible, and sweep regularly
toward some given point, and take up
the dirt on dust pan. When you walk
out of the room with that pan, remember
that light lint is lying loosely all over its
side, and quick walk will brush it of.
Better put the pan into paper, and then
carry your dust 10 an ash barrel. Do
not burn it. The odor of burning dust
is very disagreeable and unhealthy. If
a light dust settles after this sweeping,
take a slightly moist cloth and wipe the
carpet over. Dust the windows and
baseboards and door panels with a cloth
never with feather duster, except
where it is too high to reach.
Replace your ornaments and already
busted furniture, and your hands will
have nothing further to do. That room,
we'll guarded from carelessness, will stay
clean fortnight at least. Newspapers
thrown over busted tables will protect a
room enough for ordinary daily brushing
up with a carpet sweeper. - Yankee Blade.

Rabbit soup For InyaIids.

Cut the rabbit into pieces and soak in
warm water for ten minutes, to draw out
the blood. Put the pieces into sauce
pan with a quart of white broth, or, if
you have not this, milk and water. Sea-
son with salt, and add few sprigs Of
parsley. Let this simmer slowly until
the meat is very tender. Strain, pick
all the meat from the bones, and chop it
as fine as possible. Return it to the
soup, and set over the fire, adding a cup
Of hot cream, and two tablespoonfuls of
sifted bread crumbs. A nice change is
made by adding either rice, pearl barley,
or vermicelIi. which must be cooked Sc
parately in boiling water or milk, and
added to the soup Just before serving.
Small slices of lightly buttered and we'll
Drowned toast should accompany it.
This is palatable as well as nourishing. -

Useful Hints,

To brighten faded carpet, sponge with
a mixture of one part ox-gall to two
parts water.
Apple sauce is much improved by the
addition of a tablespoonful of butter
and requires less sugar.
If you have good, plain cook in your
kitchen, value her at her Just worth. Do
not deny heran occasional compliment.
Infants under three months of age
should not be given arrowroot or other
starchy foods, for they cannot digest
them.
To seed raisins easily, pour hot water
over them, let it remain a moment, then
drain off. The hot water loosens the
seeds and they come out clean.
In preparing food for the sick the first
essential is fresh and suitable material,
next strenuous cleanliness, thorough
cooking and daintincss OF serving.
Charcoal is recommended as an alb
sorber of gases in the milk room where
foul gases are present 1t should be
freshly powdered and kept there con-
tinually.
Sunlight is often the very best medi-
cine--especially for children and elderly
people-and the more hours they get Of
it the better are their chances for life
and health.
The best thing for a burn is to wet
the burn with cold water then cover
the burn with wheat flour 50 thick that it
will keep out the air; keep it on, it will
prevent blistering.
For promoting the growth of the hair
and eyebrows nothing is better than bay
rum and quinine in proportion of one
pint to one dram, well rubbed into the
roots once a week.
Honey in little water is excellent to
smooth the hands. For excessive per-
spiration in them use mixture of bella
dor ma and cologne wat er, one part of the
first to two of the last.
Table linens should always be hemmed
by hand. Not only do they look more
dainty, but there is never a streak of
dirt under the edge after being laun-
dered, as with machine sewing.
TO cure warts take an Irish potato and
cut piece of the end and rub on the
wart two or three times a day, cutting a
slice from the potato each time used.
Very often one potato is sufficient for
the cure.
To free black silk from dust, nothing
is better than rubbing with a black
wooden glove. To freshen it, sponge
with water into which YOU have put few
drops of ammonia until slightly damp,
and press with a warm, not hot, iron.

ter to the PlH Nall Gazette, has a gor-
geous attire, Wealthy ladies will spend
a fortune dressing them up. Little

conspicuous feature at court ceremonies.
She wore it when the king was
christsned, and again when he was pre-
sented TO the Cortes. 1t consists Of a
rich velvet skirt with two broad bands
of gold around il, a blue velvet apron
also trimmed with gold, a bodice Of

lawyer, left Monterey. Mexico recently,
with his wife, TO return home. lie was
in the last stage Of consumption, and
when the train had passed Lampazos the
doctor who accompanied him discovered
that he was dead. The doctor impaired
the sad news to Mrs. Tarver, who sat in
the next seat behind him, but told her if
il was discovered the body would be
stopped in Mexico and five hundred dol
lars export duty demanded before it
could be taken into Texas. Her fortitude
for the next three hours, which it took
the train to cross into the United States
was very great. During all that time no
sob or sigh escaped her and the dead body
of her husband came safely to this side
without even the conductor or passengers
being aware that there was a corpse on

The HOOD Snake.

Most people have heard of a hoop
snake, but few persons have seen one.

nation. Now Conductor Addy Kirk, of
the Pittsburg division, Pennsylvania
Railroad, atfirms most positively that he
has not only seen but had an adventure
with one in Warren County, Illinois,
during his residence there. He says he
was in the woods one day picking black
berries, and having heard of a hoop
snake he observed one rapidly rolling
toward him. He stepped aside; the
snake glided past him and stuck its tail
into a white oak tree which was two
feet in diameter. The reptile, having
securely fastened itself, whipped itself
on either side of the tree until it was
dead. He proceeded to the house of his
employer, and with an axe they returned
and cut out the tail. In iive weeks every
leaf on the tree was dead The tail OF
the serpent was armed with horn-like
appendage, about one inch and three
quarters in length, hollow and filled with
poisonous matter, and sharp like needle
at the point. The creature he describes
as dark green in color on the back and
sides, and the belly as white as snow.
In rolling it grasps this horn appendage
in its mouth, turning its belly out. lie

two of them in his time, and his Illinois
employer three After this we'll
