A Handsome Radical.

Mrs. Annie Bcsant. the Socialist, has great
popularity and influence among the Radicals
Of London. There is, says u writer, a Won
derful magnetic attraction about her. Her
face in repose can hardly bo called handsome
but when animated her dark Irish eyes fash
fire, and, as ono Of her lady friends once
said, "Sho has one of the sweetest smiles
have ever seen" Her short, curling hair and
tho somewhat peculiar attire which she af-
fects add to her Individuality Fran

How to Make Soft Soap.

In almost all families there is more or
less use for soft soap. Nothing is better
for dish towels, white tables and floors,
sinks, etc, than good soft soap. There
is much in knowing how to make it with
ease and without filling the house with
a disagreeable odor. If the work is prop
erly done there will be no trouble
The fats to save for soap grease are
mutton, goose, turkey, and the skimmings
from the water in which ham has been
boiled. The solid bits of fat should be
rendered while they are sweet. When
ever there are any trimmings of fat from
mutton or other kinds of meat that are
suitable only for soap grease, cut them
in Its and place them in a frying-p
on the back part of the stove, where they
will cook slowly until all the liquid fat
has been extracted. Strain this into a
pot kept for the purpose. Throw the
solid pieces into the garbage barrel.
Put all the skimmings of fat that are to
be used for soap grease in the frying. pan
while they are still sweet and let them
simmer on the back part of the range
until all the water has been cooked out
of them. Put this fat with the other.
If you do this work regularly, and keep
the fat covered and in cool place, it
will remain sweet for months.
When you are ready to make the soap
the work will not be great. 1t is best
to make the soap few weeks before you
will wish to use it, as it is rather hard on
the hands when new. Here is a good
rule for making the soap without heat
ing the grease:
Put fourteen pounds of crude-not
concentrated-potash in a wooden pail
and pour over it enough boiling water
to cover it. Stir well, and let the mix.
ture stand over night. In the morning
pour this mixture into a large kettle and
place on the fire. Now add another
pail Of boiling water and stir frequently
with a stick until all the potash is dis
solved. Next put ten quarts of soap
grease in a water-tight barrel and grad
ually pour in the hot potash. Let this
stand for three hours, and then add a
pailful of hot water and stir well. Add
another pailful three hours later. After
this add pailful day for the next six
days, stirring well with long stick
each time. The soap should be stirred
every day for the next three weeks,
when it will be ready for use.
BE sure the potash is pure. House

RATES OF ADVERTIsIHo.
THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There uTe beautiful songs that we never sing
And names that are never spoken,
There are treasures guarded with jealous care
And kept as a secret token,
There are faded flowers and letters dim
With the tears that have rained above them,
For the tickle words and faithless hearts
That taught us how to love them.
There are sighs that come in our joyous hours
To chasten our dreams of gladness,
And tears that spring TO our aching eyes
In hours of thoughtful sadness.
For, the blithest birds that sing in spring
Will fit the waning summer
And lips that we kissed in fondest Low
WIN smile ON the first new conner.
Over the breast where the lilies rest
In white hands still forever,
The roses Of June will nod aud blow,
Unheeding the hearts that sever,
And lips that quiver in silent grief,
All words of hope refusing,
Will lightly turn to the fleeting joys
That perish with the using.
Summer blossoms and winter SHOWS
Love and its sweet elysian,
Hope, like a siren dim and fair,
Quickening our fainting vision;
Dropping spirit and failing pulse,
Where untold memories hover,
Eyelids touched with the seal of death,
And the fltful dream is over.

Branding "U. S"On Deserters.

Under the old system in the United
States Army man caught and convicted
of the crime of desertion was branded
by tattooing the letter ID on his left hip.
He was at once recognized by that mark
on presenting himself at recruiting Of
fee for examination. The branding sys-
tenn was abolished by law, and sin then
it is always difficult and often impossible
for the recruiting officers to tell old de.
serters when they turn up again for en-
listment at different stations. / have
heard my men speak of others who had
deserted and re-enlisted over ten times.
They had told of one man who had been
in and out the service eleven times, and
of another who had record of thirteen
enlistments. These are no doubt extreme
cases.
Branding was abolished because it was
considered degrading. The old system
of flogging perished for similar reason
many years ago. am in favor of brand
ing, and would make it an honor instead
of stigma by having the letters l.. s.,
or some distinctive mark tattooed on
every sold er, officer, and private. The
mark could be placed on the arm as well
as the hip for the purpose. think if l
appeared before my men with the brand
exposed to their view the idea of degra-
dation would quickly vanish. Then, if
a man deserted and presented himself
again for rc.enlistment or was captured,
his discovery would be a very simple
matter. A large proportion of the de-
serters get caught sooner or later, but in
the meantime they cost the country
large sum of money. My remedy, /
think, would not only be an economical
measure, but absolutely certain as a
means of detection. -Ner Yorb Times.

WISE WORDS.

Cultivate charity.
True eyes discover truth.
There is nothing as royal as truth.
Without hearts there is no home.
The most effective coquetry is inno-
cence.
Simplicity and luxury are equally en-
joyable.
Life is too short to crowd it with re-
sentiments.
knowledge is dearly bought, if we
sacrifice to its moral qualities.
1t is easier TO vanquish a man in an
argument than it is to convince him.
We find self-made men very often, but
self-unmade ones q good deal oftener.
Comparison, more than reality, makes
men happy and can make them wretched.
No great characters are formed in this
world without suffering and self-denial.
The existence of life is sometimes
measured by the memory of its burdens.
He who reforms himself has done some
thing toward the reformation of the
crowd.
A merely fallen enemy may rise again,
but the reconciled one is truly van
qui shed.
If we did but half we are able to do we
would be surprised at the sum of our
diligence.
When man learns how ignorant he is
he is in possession of valuable piece of
knowledge.
You cannot dream yourself into
character; you must hammer and forge
yourself one.
Men will wranglo for religion, write
for it, fight for it, die for it; anything
but live for it.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Pretty Floral Decoration.

A very pretty foliage decoration for
rooms or conservatories can be made of
white sponge. Fill the sponge full of
rice, canary, hemp, grass or other seeds.
Then place it in shallow fancy glass
dish. The prettier the dish is, of course,
the prettier the decoration will be. Pour
water in the dish the sponge will absorb
this. Keep enough water to always have
the sponge moist. In a short time the
seeds will sprout and make the sponge
look very pretty. The dish can then be
placed or a table, or the sponge can be
suspended without the dish in some posi-
tion where it is exposed to the sunlight.
1t must be well watered, so that the
sponge is always moist, and it will then
exhibit a mass of delicate green foliage.

A Repertoire of Cheap Dishes.

Most housekeepers, says a writer on
economical living, get into ''rut" and
buy the same steaks, chops aud roast
each week, having no repertoire of
cheaper dishes. A beefs heart or a
braised calf's liver make an excellent and
economical change. Broiled sleeps
kidneys with bacon make fine break
fast. and only cost about ten cents.
Beef olives small pieces of round steak
spread with stutfing and stewed) are ap.
petizing and do not cost one-half as
much as tenderoin steak, and so we
might continue naming delightful dishes
made from the so-called inferior pieces
of meat. A great deal also depends
upon the manner in which the market
ing is put away and cared for after it
comes home. All vegetables keep fresh
longer if put in a cool, damp place.
Fruits keep best in cool, dark, dry
place. Bread must be kept without
wrapping in a close box. Fish, to be
kept over night, should be cleaned,
sprinkled with salt and put on a platter,
skin side down; then stood in cold
place away from all meats or delicate
articles. -Dstr0n Free Press.
