Remember.

A good barrel of flour, slowed snug
ly away in the corner Of widows
pantry at this season of the year will
keep small family from being very
hungry until early spring, particularly
if it is supplemented by a barrel Of
meal and big bag of potatoes.
This is also the time of year when
something solid and staunch in the
way of "a shawl, or an overcoat, or a
pair of thick blankets, warns the soul
and body Of person who has acquired
relish for comfort by shivering
through December and January half
clad.
Reader, unless you have been your
self very poor, or unless nature has en-
dowed you with sympathetic imagin-
alton of great power, you can form no
idea of the difference made in an inn
poverished home by putting into it a
good stove in place of a bad one

being without money he soon tires Of
that life. This is another cause that
might be remedied.
After lapse of about six weeks,
during which time he is again given a
thorough course of training, he is
turned in" for regular duty in the
company, and then his actual soldering
commences. He takes his turn doing
gu,rd, which is on the average OF
every third night, the day following
he is ON fatigue duty, with the pick
and shovel, etc. Since the order abol-
ishing Sunday inspection Of accroutre-
ments he has little more time to him
self on that day. Now, if he should
care to attend Divine service, where is
he to 90, if stationed in some frontier
post? IT'S true, we have chaplains in
army, but where are they? At one
post in Indian Territory, a priest
makes an occasional visit on his own
account, but that is the only sign of a
minister of religion have seen for
some time, and of course we are not all
of one denomination.
Again, our five year system is too
long, but as there is very little proba-
bility of that being remedied, we might
make some sort of a compromise by
allowing discharge to be purchased
for a certain sum governed by the
length of service he has gotten in, or
by the opinion promulgated by General
Lew Wallace, which if not entirely
satisfactory is surely worthy of some
attention. His idea Of giving the sol
der chance of promotion, which now
is very slim, is good one He says
Establish training school, at every
military post, have the course of train
ing for four years, at the expiration Of
which time, if the soldier passes a salts
factory examination, he is to be re-
warded for his labor admission into the
Military Academy at West Point, TAX
ing the rank of a cadet"
In that there is some inducement
for man to exert his energies, for
ahead he sees the chance of a commits
sion, and probably the rank of a Bri-
craftsmanship, and even if he
does not pass the necessary examina-
ton he has acquired certain knowledge
that will render him capable of earn
ing his living in the civil walks of life,
and would, of course, be all the useful
citizens by reason of such training.
Space will not allow me to say more
on this subject now, but suffice it to
say, if the social position of the enlisted
man was raised to higher standard,
there would be fewer desertions, better
and more contented soldiers. The
word "discipline," as applied to this
service is in many instances, but a
gilded term for servitude and degrade
ton.
Practical knowledge outweighs theo-
retical teaching. BLUE CoAT.

The True Wife.

Sometimes | have seen tall ship
glide by against the tide as if drawn
by some invisible bowline, with hun
dred strong arms pulling it. Her sails
were untitled, her streamers were
dropping, she had had neither side
wheel nor stern wheel still she moved
on stately, in serene triumph, as with
her own life. But | knew that on the
other side of the ship, hidden beneath
the great hulk that swan so majesti-
cally, there was little toilsome steam
tug, with a heart of fire and arms of
iron, that was Juggling it bravely on ;
and knew if the little steam-tug I'M
twined her arm, and left the ship, it
would wallow and roll about, and drift
hither and thither, and go off with the
refuent tide, no man knows whittier.
And so | have known more than one
genius, high-decked, full-freighted, full
sailed, gay-pennoned, but that for the
bare, toiling arms, and brave, warm
beating heart of the faithful little wife
that nestles close to him, so that no
wind or wave could part them, would
have gone down with the stream, and
have been heard of no more.-O W.
Holmes.

Holiday Carving

The legs of a boiled fowl always
bend inward and tuck into the belly,
but before it is put upon the table the
skewer by which they are secured
ought to be removed.
The fowl should be laid upon the
carver's plate, and the joints, as they
are cut off, placed on the dish.
In taking off the wing the joint only
must be divided with the knife, for by
lifting up the pinion of the wing with
the fork and then drawing it toward
the legs the muscles will separate in
much better form than you can effect
with knife.
Next place the knife between the
leg and body and cut to the bone ;
turn the leg back with the fork, and
the Joint will give way if the fowl is
young and well done. The merry
thought is taken out when the legs and
wings are all removed; the neck bones
are taken off by putting in the knife
and pressing it under the long, broad
part of the bone; then lift the neck
bone up and break it off from the part
that sticks to the breast.
The breast itself has now to be
divided from the carcass by cutting
through the tender ribs close to the
breast quite down to the tail then lay
the back upward, put your knife into
the bone halfway from the neck to
the wings, and on raising the lower
end it will easily separate. The last
thing to be done is to turn the rump
from you and neatly cut off the sides
men, Each part should be neatly
arranged on the dish. Each slice
should carry with it portion Of the
pudding or forcemeat with which the
craw is stufed.-Poultry Yard.

GOODBYE. OLD YEAR. 1889.

The bells ring slow, in muffed tone,
The chilling wind makes sadder moan
The flowers are dead and all must die.
Good-by, old year, good-by.
The laughing streams runs coldly now,
Stern Winter reigns, with ice crowned brow,
Fair Summer is dead and you must die.
Good-by, old year, good by.
Once you were young, but now you're old,
Our youth can ne'er be bought with gold
Your youth is dead-all youths must die.
Good-by, old year, good-by
Your glory came, your glorys gone,
All glory fades, time breathes upon,
And grandure and pride shall surely die.
Good by, old year, good-by.
You brought us many glittering joys
That cloyed and broke like childrens toys,
Our joys you have killed, now you must die.
Good-by, old year, good-sy.
You brought us much Of gallant grief,
But, like our joys, its smart was brlef,
If joy must die, aye, then grief must die.
Good-by, old year, good-by.
Thou vast year of hundred years,
OF glorious triumph that endears,
But, oh as the others, thou must die.
Good-by, old year, good-by,
Though husk must die the kernel lives,
So doth the truth each year e'er gives:
Thou hroughtest as mucn hat will not die.
Good-by, old year, good-by.

"Bug Bible" In the last named, the
passage "Thou shall not be afraid for

9. Tie Question Of the Disciple

Christs followers were anxious to know when
the destruction was to occur. They wanted to
be prepared, and were eager TO find out the
signs indicating the approaching extinction of
city and temple.
In a feeling of impetuosity and excitement
the Disciples ask questions in such rapid sue
cession as not to admit of answer to each one.
Or else they did not realize that our Savior
spoke of two distinct events: ~ OF the ruin of
the temple in the destruction of Jerusalem.
and ~ of the close of this earth's history.
There was a pregnant meaning in many of
Christ's remarks to his Disciples. when
shall these things be-" This question applies
particularly to the overthrow of Jerusalem. in
volying the temple. That question was not
answered definitely, but certain signs were
pointed out, to wit, wars, rumOrs of wars-eivil
and international. famines, pestilences, earth
quakes. All these preceded the ruin OF Jeru-
salem. 1t was wonderful of Christ to predict
wars so soon when at the time he spoke the
world was at peace Titus destroyed Jerusa-

prophecy, seven years after the Synoptists re-
