PROVIDE YOURSELF WITH HANDY
UTENsILs.--A few dollars intelligently
expended, will provide the busy worker,
hampered by old-fashioned methods, with
utensils which will save many hours of
time in a single week. The following
should be regarded as indispensable: a
patent sieve, which is a combined scoop
and measuring dish, and which costs but
fifty cents; press and vegetable strainer
which mashes potatoes, strains gravies,
presses out Jelly, prepares all sorts Of
vegetables for the table. and performs a
variety OF other ueeful services instanta
neously, and which also costs but half
dollar; little nutmeg crater which
works with crank a patent egg beaten,
a potato slicer and patent chopper, and
combined apple peeler, corer, and slicer.
An old coffee cup, tea cup, pint bowl
table spoons, knife, fork, and mixing
spoons, should always be kept ready at
hand. In fact, the smallest compass
within which the cook keeps all her
cooking utensils and standard ingredi-
ents, her -four, meal, Aavoring extracts,
Spices shortening, etc, the easier and
more ezpeditiously will she turn off her

DOMESTIC USES OF LIME WATER
There are few people--to say nothing Of
babies-who can drink milk with comfort
unless it has mixture of lime-water.
Those who commonly say milk "does not
agree with them" can usually make If
agree by adding one or two tabespoonus
Of lime water to the goblet or half pint OF
milk. 1t is well worth trying by those
who complain Of indigestion or bilious
ness, in drinking it by the physician g
prescription. Lime water by the gallon
may be made with a few cents worth Of
lime and pure water. The water will
not take up any more than it can hold 10
suspension, so you can pour off all the
clear liquid from one bottle and add more
water to your remaining lime in your
quart bottles. In Boston they are quot
ing dentist who advises mis- patients to
rinse the mouth and teeth several times a
day freely with lime-water, to "barden
the enamel and arrest decay" Lime
water bathing of them and correcting
acid deposits, may not be so much out
side the question as it appears.

Glass may be cut under water with
great ease, almost any shape, with pair
of shears or strong scissors. Two things
are necessary to success. First, the glass
must be kept quite level in the water
while the scissors are applied; and sec
ondly, to avoid risk, it is better to per
form the cutting by taking off small
pieces at the corners and along the edges,
and to reduce the shape gradually to that
required. The softer glasses cut the best,
and the scissors need not be very sharp

The most successful swine breeders
never let the pigs stop growing until they
are ready for market. Whenever pigs
come to stand-still, then all food given
them is so much lost, as there is nothing
to show for it. A good thrifty pig may
be made to gain pound day until he
is ten months old, when he is of the right
age and weight to sell, and should show
good profit for the food consumed.

woman Suffrage IN municipal EioctiOnb
Heartily Approved. Fs
We are gravely and in solemn form
advised, all the way from the capital of
the State OF Kansas, by the Governor
thereof, and the Encouragement, and
the chief justice, with two of his ASSOC
ciates. says the Philadelphia Ledger.
that woman suffrage in municipal cleo
tions in the cities and towns of that
State has proved to be great public |
benefit, and for that reason these Off
Gals advise other States to adopt it.
They have done entirely right by maxi
ing this fact known to their fellow
countrymen of the United States, and
Yeti should not have required any Of
fetal certificate to vouch such an OBJ
vious fact any more than it required
Hamlet's fathers ghost to come from
the sepulcher, wherein his bones had
been quietly Injured, to tell part of the
story he divulged. We should think
there could be no sort of doubt that
the votes of women would improve the
quality of school directors, school COM
missioners, school trustees, school con-
trollers and the like; and that equally
there could be no question that they
would so influence the choice of mayors,
councilmen and similar officials, hav-
ing to do with the levying of taxes and
the expenditure of municipal moneys,
as to improve the character of such Of
ficials. Kansas has tried the expert
ment and has found the benefit We
do not doubt it ourselves. 1t is very
significant commentary upon the
justice of our suffrage laws, that a
woman property owner who is the real
head of the family, and who has sons
whom she supports, shall have no voice
in the administration of the schools,
for the support of which she pays
taxes-or in the election OF the council

ton of such incompetents as we too
often see in municipal governments. 1t
is matter for surprise too, that the
questions in which women are far more
deeply and vitality interested than men,
are submitted exclusively to men, the
women having no voice in matters that
either make or destroy the happiness of
their homes and their lives. Who can
doubt that if the question of obliterat-
ing the liquor traffic from the State
were submitted to all the citizenship OF
Pennsylvania-including the women as
we'll as the men--there would be a
single saloon left open in the State,
from the Delaware to the Ohio or from
the New York boundary to Mason and
Dixons line? Not one would be left,
if the people-that is, all the adult cit
liens of both sexes-were admitted to
vote upon that question; and yet that is
the only way upon which the sense OF
the people of Pennsylvania-all the
people-can be taken on that vital

Beneath the rags that covered him. held firm
in death-hug. e" IA
They found with every drop drained out his
old brown sky jug.
How sad to live a life like his; how sad like
Alone in deserted house, no friends nor kim
dred nigh;
To stagger down from manhood to the gloomy
rivers brink,
The happiness of earth and Heaven sacrifice
to drink
And what was Farmer Brown, dear wife, few
short years ago?
An honest, toling sober man kind to both
friend and Toe;
, There was no better farm than his in all the
neighborhood;
Well fenced, we'll watered and well titled the
barns and houses good.
His wife was happy and content singing from
morn to night,
For every thing upon the farm and in the house
went right.
Until the tempter came and said: you have
much goods in store, Y
Now eat and drink, rich Farmer Brown, let
toiling days be DER" +t tFE
He listened to the tempter, and that was hrs
He hired men to sow the seed and reap the
harvest in;
He left off following the plow, he gave all work
frown,
And hitching up his finest horse, he drove OF
70 the town.
Men put him up for office, and taught him all
the tricks
That constitute scholar in the school of poll
tics;
This brought him often to the bar where whis
ky is the thing,
And another strong Goliath fell a victim to the
sling.
From that date things went downward, as by
whirlwnds ARM
And Brown was soon adrunkard upon aruined
farm;
The fences down, leaky house, no crops to
gather in,
No goods in store for future want in spacious
barn and bin.
One cold and dreary autumn, when the leaveI
were falling down,
His wife died broken-hearted and was buried
by the town:
IT'S we'll there is an after-lfe made up Of per
feet bliss,
For broken-hearted, weary wives who find ne
Joy in this.
And now an end has come at last, as it doth
quickly come
To all who bind upon themselves the crue
chain Of rum;
He left his work to others, for the bar-room ii
the town,
And that, dear wife, IS what it was that ruined
Farmer Brown.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS
MlSCHlEvOUS ROSE.

Our little Mollie Mischief
(Her proper name is Rose)
Is always busy as bee,
And every body knows
The bees are full OF business
The livelong summer day.
And so is Molly Mischief,
But in quite different way.
Her little rosy fingers,
So pretty in their pace,
Are often tied together
Behind her in disgrate.
Because, il mamma leaves thing
For only half o minute,
They, like tiuttering butterflies
Are sure to settle in it.
One Sunday, after meeting,
She vanished from our sight,
But no one saw the going z
OF our little wandering sprite.
We ran around to seek her
Among the girls and boys.
And found her IN the organ loft,
"A-hunting for re noise
And once, when we forbade her
To pick the currants red,
We heard her in the bushes,
And this is what she said:
80 little lonesome babies,
Is you afwaid to stay!
Come to your own, dear muzzer,
I'll hide you safe away"
I leave my little readers
To guess the hdingptace.
Perhaps it something had to do
With the stains upon her face.

line MILLING Output forrhe Week.

The Northwestern Miller, in its issue
OF vest erday said: The mills ground a
little less flour last week, as result Of
several OF them dropping their output q
triae. The aggregate production for
the week was so, $40 Notwithstanding
1915 barrels-against 81 ,22 '775 barrels the
week before, and I22 $50 barrels for the
corresponding time in 1883. About the
same capacity is ia operation again this
week, though there SCENES to be pros
pect OF the average product fer the six
days being larger. Two mills, repre-
sent,ng 1900 barrels per Gay, chat have
for three months been practically IDLE
from the want OF water power, arc now
in motion, and will probably not shut
down before Saturday at least. Be-
sides another of 1900 barrels capacity
will shart to night. This brings the ap-
parent output for the four closing days
of the week up to 10000 barrels daily,
though these figures may be cut down
by stops occurring that are not now
known of. The -four market has not
improved any since week ago,it being
mere Inactive, IT possible, than at that
time.

Viccars on Deck.

James W. Viccars who disappeared
about one month ago from Minneapolis
ON the day set for his wedding-has
been heard from. He is now at the
home Of his father in Green Lake,
Mich, wilere he arrived something over
week ago. His EMPLOYERS here in
Minneapolis and others were of the
opinion, concerning his sudden disap-
pearance, that in fit Of mental aberra-
tion he had wandered away and lost all
idea Of slime AID all memory Of his OWN
affairs, and such proves TO have been the
case. and the theory is proved correct
by the staternent of Viccars himself.
MI. Smith, his former employer, re
ceiyed Wednesday morning letter
from Yiccars dated Friday, and stating
that he had arrived home the day before
after a long, long time of weary wan
(lering which seemed like a dim uncer-
tain dream, horrid nightmare, that
even now that he WAS awake he could
not shake OFT. He remembered little
about it, and did not even state how Or
under what circumstances he had left
Minneapolis. When his senses returned
to him he realized that he had been
wandering long time, but he did not
know where or how. He went as soon
as possible to his fathers home, where
he arrived worn out and exhausted in
body and mind, and intends to stay
there for a time to regain his strength
and rest his mind. He feels the keenest
remorse and shame for his action, and
seems tc think he has committed ter
rible crime. He could not. he says. ac-

not bear to come back and face the old
friends after his unexplained and. to a
