A Piece of Apple Pie.

Tell me now, we cooks most skillful,
How to make an apple pie;
One that tastes just like my mothers,
Made by her in years gone by.
Often, standing near, I've watched her,
With anticipations rare,
Knowing well that l was destined
To receive an ample share
When, all fragrant from the oven,
Out should come that trimming pie;
Golden brown-ah, what more tempting
To the eager, childish eye?
Cant we have piece? in chorus,
From my brother and myself
DWELL, guess so;" and our mother,
Reaching to the pantry shelf,
Took knife and cut section,
just how large 1 dare not say;
'Twould not do to tell these children
Playing here by me to-day.
Out we fastened with our treasures
To our playhouse meath tree.
Twas the scene of many pleasures
Shared by brother Will and me.
Wild birds singing all about us;
Clear, fresh air and sunny sky;
Was it these that gave the flavor
To that piece of apple pie?
Do you say it was not healthful-
Such lunch?-ah, yes, l know;
Yet for worlds I'd not be willing
That sweet memory to forego.
You may tempt me with your pastry,
Unconvinced | still shall be.
Nay, no other pie will ever
Taste like mothers pie to me.
Good HouSekeepiR.

And all in the house are in bed;
The stars brightly gisten,
Well not peep nor listen

Your sleigh-bells advancing,

With all sorts of toys

And presents to hang on the tree;
With cakes, nuts and bon-bons,
Made for the little ones,
And brought from over the sea;
Doll babies that talk,
And lap-dogs that walk,
Jumping-jacks, whistles and whips,
Muffs. gloves and mittens,
A ball for the kittens,
And slippers with bright bead tips.

Nowi In the spring OF the Year.
During winter nature wisely arrsnges
that we should live on foods containing
much fat or, as they are known, hydro
carbons, for the purpose Of supplying
heat to the body; the chemical operation
necessary to transform fat into heat is
the exclusive work Of the liver, and 80
during the time stated IL is constantly
congested.
With the approach OF warm weather
our diet changes to muscls-producing
food, and the work Of the liver is much
lessened. In the majority OF cases, how
ever, it il unable to completely throw of
the excess of bile, but remains copgested,
causing that lazy, tired feeling which
many have in the spring months, when
the weather becomes warm.
GO This is evidence OF an unhealthy
condition, and though people appreciate
the necessity Of an alternative at this
period, the common idea Is to take dras-
tic pills and produce a osthartic effect,
only to make matters worse. The liver
must be unloaded, and its proper action re-
stored before hot weather, II you wish to
preserve health, and If this distinct cali
of nature is UNDECIDED serious results will
occur.
The blood will become loaded with bile
aud lithic acid, and as every drop Of vital
fluid passes through the kidneys to be
purified, they soon break down and are
unable to carry out the deadly poison.
Warmers Safe Cure and Warmers Safe
Pills have not only specific action on
the kidneys, but on the liver also.
rgThey thin the thickened bile so that
il will pass out through its ducts, enable
the glands to unload themselves, act as a
solvent on all hillary acids and in word,
fit these organs for the seasons work,
preventing blood poisoning. infsmma-
ton, abscess and all affections to which
they are SO liable.
As you value the blessings OF health,
do not allow the summer TO approach
without giving your system general
house.cleaning," in the manner we have
indicated.

Buekper ordered Warner to leave the

from professional visit and found War

assisted by two women named Hughes
and Shaw of Chicago. Several neighbors
wers present, and the disembodied were
making frequent visits to the room.
white something, that clGimed to be
dead sister Of Mrs. BuckneE, was sliding
sbout the room.
1t was too much for the doctor, and
before anybody realized what was going
on he had the something in his arms. 1t

dragging it to the hall door, threw II for

Warner was knocked down and kicked,

head and pummeled on TIE uoiy. His
nose bled blood came from his mouth,
one eye WAS closed, aud his clothing was
remarkable for the variety of rents it dis

Returning to the house, Bucknef
smashed the cabinet and tossed Warnefs

great crowd had gathered and cheered
the doctor as he made spiritualiam $

two elected women had returned to the
house, but Buckner drove them ont.
throwing their hscts after them. Warner
had Buckner arrested for assault aud bat

Warner presented doleful appearance.
One eye is closed, an arm is in sling
