Housekeepers Ought to Know

Good Housekeeping,
That cranberry jelly mixed with
cold water makes refreshing drink
for sick persons.
That il is as absurd to get body to
do good work on an empty stomach
as to attempt to fire a gun that is
empty.
That brooms dipped for moment
or two in boiling suds once week
will last much longer than they 9th
erwise would.
That a neat, clean, fresh aired,
sweet and well managed house eXer-
cises a moral as well as a physical in
fluence over its inmates.
That one can have the hands in
soap suds without injury if the hands
are dipped in vinegar or lemon juice
Immediately after.
That milk contains all that is re-
CURED by the body, and the best pro-
portions of mineral matters; is less
irritating than other foods and better
digested.
That water should never be used
that has been held in lead pipe all
night, and it should be allowed to
run freely before any is taken for
use.
That mould can be prevented from
forming on fruit jellies by pouring a
little paraffin over the top, and that,
when cool, it will harden to a solid
cake, which can be easily removed
when desired.

Crops in Europe.

The abundance or scarcity of the
crops in countries with which we
have close commercial relations,
affecting as it does the demand for
our own productions, is always a
matter of great interest. From the
February report for Great Britain
and Ireland it is learned that the
past year was remarkable for its
agreeable disappointments in its
expected results. Succeeding the
entire unfavorable season from
January to September, with its wet
July and August, genial harvesting
time came to the rescuein September
and October, and so changed the
whole situation that 1883 is now
looked back upon with some satisfac-
ton by the British farmer. Larger
crops have been secured than he
dared to hope for, and higher prices
for grain, sheep and cattle have been
realized.
In Ireland there has been an in
crease in all the principal crops except
potatoes, which show a decrease.
In France mild and rainy weather
has lately followed a period of frost.
All the Autumn some cereals are
looking well, and the land is being
prepared under excellent conditions
for the Spring sowings. France con-
tinueS to show large importations of
wheat and -four, as well as other
agricultural products, though the
American imports were less than
half of those of 1887, Russia and
Roumania supplying our deficiency,

He Takes the Cake,

A gentleman living in the suburbs
of Cincinnati went into a store on
Walnut street to make a few purcha-
ses. The only light in the store was
a candle standing on the counter
near the money drawer. After
making his purchases he handed the
proprietor bill, and, after handing
him the change, the proprietor
walked to the rear of the store to
arrange something, when suddenly
he was left in the dark. He started
towards the counter and, cropping
around on it, found not the candle,
but the change. Itstruck him then
that probably the man, in fit of alb
sent-mindedneSs, had taken the
candle instead Of the change. He
started out after him, and, catching
up with him, saw that he had the
bundle in one hand and the candle
in the other. After apolOgizing for
his mistake, the stranger took his
change and gave back the candle.

DID IT ELECT HARRISON?

The following appeared in a Min
nesota paper: members of the
Democratic party have been using
all subterfuges to account for their
overwhelming defeat, and numerous
are the causes alleged.
81 was talking with several of the
vanquished on Fourth Street the
other day, opposite bill board, and
one of the party exclaimed: eff it
had not been for the closeness of the
National Committee in the eXpendi-
ture of money, we would have elect
ed our man. The Republicans adj
vertised their man like a circus"
Several of the party remarked that no
advertising was done except small
announcements in the papers, and a
few changers" on the dead walls.
changers ?" said our informant.
"What do you call that but circus
poster" pointing to a twelve-sheet
medicine poster on the bill board,
bearing the cuts of Gen. Harrison and
his grandfather.
off the Democrats had advertised
like that, Cleveland would have been
reelected"
The poster referred to was one of
the familiar black and white Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla posters sent out by
an enterprising firm engaged in the
manufacture of old log cabin home
cures, under the name of Warmers
Log Cabin Remedies, and among
other equally valuable articles in
cludes the famous Log Cabin Sarsapa-
riIla, which is everywhere recognized
as the best of all spring medicines,
and stands without a rival for the
cure of all disorders which are the
results of impure blood.
The spring time of the year is the
season when the system needs reno
walton; the long winter has caused
the blood to become filled with i'm
purities.
There exists no better means to aid
and strengthen the system at such an
urgent period than the use of War
ner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, which
speedily restores the blood to a pure
and healthy state, which insures
health and happiness.
The reputation of the firm putting
out the medicines is above reproach,
and is the same firm which manu-.
features Warmers Safe Cure, the
standard remedy for the cure of all
those diseases peculiar to the kidneys
as well as those which are the results
of disease in these organs, and which
has met with such phenomenal sue
cess for the past ten years.
We understand that the posters re-
ferred to made their appearance in
many parts of the country sometime
prior to the Chicago Convention
which nominated Gen. Harrison as a
candidate for the Presidency-hence
the use made of the portraits of the
Harrisons, father and grandson-was
either the result of remarkable politi-
cal foresight or in accordance with
the historical association of the old
Log Cabin with the name of Harri-
son.

TIE DRUMMER AND HIS GRIP

Though the rain and sleet are falling,
And the roads lawful muddy"
Though all men "hard times" are bawliug,
Though a fellows nose gets ruddy,
Though the river may be frozen
And the frost may bite and nip,
They can never stop the advent
OF the drummer and his grip.
Though the trains may all be smashing,
Though the horses all so lame,
The drummer, like the bedbug,

And when his time is over
VIII come smiling from his trip,
For he always "makes connection"
Does the drummer with his grip.
All, he teaches us lesson,
With his energy and his grit,
Things that "parallze" most people
Don't astonish him bit
And he's ever bright and cheerful,
And a smile is on his lip;
He's daisy from away back
Is the drummer and his grip.
Give him kind word always,
He'll give you back the same;
For the doing of some "black sheep"
Don't give the whole tribe blame.
For down, clear down to Hades.
Some so.called good men" slip,
While along the road to heaven
Goes the drummer with his grip.)

A Great Cry for More Women

has been going up from the far west for
great many years, But the cry is not for
pale, haggard, debilitated women. The
pushing western men are not very anxious
for beauty, but they need healthy wives. A
great cry for health is continually going up
from thousands of women, young and old,
all over the earth. Countless remedies have
appeared in answer. A few have succeeded,
and none hold higher place than DR..

Singular Verifcation of a Dream.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

st. Paul Pioneer Press.
DO dreams come true? There is
one man in st. Paul who believes
they do, sometimes. He had one,
one night in 1876 which came true to
a dot. His brother was an intimate
friend of yellowstone" Kelly, the
noted Indian scout, who was with
General Miles in his Indian fighting
in the far west. The st. Paul man
was in Bismark for a time that year,
and there his brother introduced him
to Kelly and the two became the
warmest kind of friends, for there
was something in the makeup of
each that attracted the other. The
st. Paul man came home after a
a few weeks and Kelly went west on
another Indian expedition. On the
night of the 9th of September the st.
Paul man had dream of Kelly. He
arose from bed while still asleep, and
threw himself on the -four, eXcitedly
crying out: "Kelly is in danger. The
Indians are in ambush for him in the
canon. There is but one way of e5-
cape. He must ride straight for
ward, then turn to the right and put
spurs to his horse for dear life. If he
does that he will escape"
A gentleman who occupied the
same room-it was in a building in
Jackson street-was awakened. He
got out of bed and rushed to where
his chum lay on the floor talking in
his sleep, and he awakened him.
"What is the matter?" he asked.
81 have had Il dream" was the re-
ply.
yellowstone Kelly has been in
danger from the Indians. They laid
ambush for him. Il can draw map
showing the only way of escape"
And he took piece of paper and
drew diagram showing where the
Indians were and the only path by
which escape could be made, as it
appeared in his dream. 1t made so
vivid an impression that he was anX-
ious for days for the fate of his friend,
the scout.
A few weeks later Kelly came to
st. Paul and the two friends met.
"Where were you on the night of
September the 9th?" asked the st.
Paul man.
= 81 had close call on that night"
was the reply, "and the saddle / sat
in that night has a bullet in it from
a redskins gun. 1 was caught in a
canon and almost surrounded" and
then he described the lay of the land
and how he had escaped by riding
straight toward the Indians until he
found a passage to the right, through
which he had ridden and escaped.
The situation was exactly as the st.
Paul man had dreamed it was.
The st. Paul man who had the
dream and who believes that dreams
sometimes come true was w. w.

A Word for the Rag Carpet.

The only thing that kills rag car
pet for popularity is its cheapness.
If it cost s. yard it would be on the
floor of every bondholder in the land.
There is something about rag car
pet that suggests home. 1t is not so
cold and formal to the eye as the
handsomely lowered Brussels that
you see in the parlor. AS soon as
you put your foot on rag carpet,you
feel on good terms with the house
hold and you naturally expect to hear
a kettle sing and see some friendly
cat arch her back and rub socially
against your shins. And the man
that owns rag carpet made of arti-
Giles collected about the house can sit
right down with that carpet and talk
to it. 1t is full of pleasant remin-
sciences. He can see in that carpet
pieces of all the clothing he ever
wore. All his cast of wearing ap-
parel is in that carpet, except what is
in the crazy quilt. Overcoats, sus-
penders, felt hats, neckties, gloves
and overshoes glow before him in red,
white and blue seas that would set q
statue peddler crazy with delight.
Get well and stay well. But how shall we
do it?
Listen my friend, and the secret I will
tell,
Though, for that matter, there is no secret
to it,
AS many man understands very well.
If you are low-spirited, gloomy, depressed,
If nothing tastes good and your nights bring
no rest.
If your stomach is foul and your mouth
much fouler,
And so cross you become when they call
you "growler,"
Be sure that the trouble is due to your
liver,
And the blood is as sluggish as sometimes a
river
Becomes when it is filled with all manner of
stuff,
Clear it out and the current runs smoothly
enough.
Go to the drug store and get a bottle of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great blood.purifer and liver invigOrator.
1t is a sure cure for the low spirits and gen.
eral depression man feels when his liver
is inactive and his blood impure. This
remedy makes a man well.

Remarkable Blind Men.

A namesake OF our great American
temperance lecturer. John Cough, an
Englishman by birth, became quite cele-
brated as a botanist and writer on sub
jects pertaining to natural philosophy.
He was totally blind from the age of 3
years, the sense Of vision being so dead
enei that he could not perceive the glare
Of sunlight upon the snow on the bright
est winter days. Disabled by this appaIl-
ing affection, he studied botany, his
wife, brothers and sisters doing his read
Ing, and collected and arranged, by the
sense OF touch alone, and without the
least aid from any living human being,
one of the largest and most valuable col
lection of dried herbs and grasses at that
time (i1s0) known in Britain.
That wonderful invention, the string
alphabet for the blind, was invented by
a man who never saw his queer looking
machine, the face of his mother, or the
"glad sunlight" Of which he so feelinglv
wrote. David Macbeth was blind from
".T'h, yet perfect genius IN dozen
different ways. He was an accomplished
musician, perfect prodigy in mathc-
mates and an inventor of no mean order
OF merit. Besides his string alphabet. he
was the inventor of one of the earliest
known revolving barrel churns. of a
clamp TO he used by bookbinders in
stitching leaves together, and of self
oiling attachment for wagons and CARR
ages. He could take his watch to pieces
and put it together almost as quickly as
the man who made it could have done.
II was without crystal. and by gently
touching the hands with the tips of his
fingers he could tell within one second
of the time of day or night.
He was an expert at the national game
of cricket and was reckoned as being one
of the most valuable men in some parts
of the game, but useless in others.
When he died he had been engaged for
years on the perfection of n fire escape,
which has since, with some slight changes
and additions, made n London firm indie

Alexander Rodenback, the Belgian
politician, and for long time member
of the Belgian lower house, was totally
