HINTS TO HOUSEkEEPERS.

WHEN making over old dresses or 9TH

penny wise and pound foolish" to use
ord, haIf-w0rn ones.
WHEN your stove is burned red and
blacklng wont stick, put little fat fried
from salt pork into the water you dis
solve your backing in, and try again.
WELLS should be ventilated, as the
water is thereby kept fresh and free
ftom bad odor. The absorption of all
by water renders it pleasanter to the
taste, and purifes it to some extent
but the effect is not a very marked one.
To launder red table linen, use tepid
water with a little powdered borax,
which serves to set the color. Wash
the linen separately and quickly, using
very little soap; rinse in tepid water
contai ming little boiled starch; dry in
the shade, and iron when nearly dry.
USE an under tablecloth of colored
canton flannel on your dining-table. II

washing whenever it is necessary to dc
so. Every portion of the cellar should
be thoroughly cleaned, and if it has q
cement floor il should even be well
scrubbed.
Buy fine copper wire by the pound
for hanging pictures. It does not cost
half what twisted wire or cord does,
and looks lar better. Take time to paste
light MANILA paper over the back OF
every picture frame not already pro.
tected in this way, as it effectually pre-.
vents dust from reaching the pictures.

THERE are many persons who cannot
eat fruit, either on account of it's acidity,
or the excess of sugar necessary to make
it palatable. Sugar does not, of course,
counterfeit acidity; it only DISCUSSES it,

retard digestion. The house wife may,
therefore, be grateful for the reminder
that a pinch-a very email pinch-ot
carbonate of soda, sprinkled over the
fruit previous to cooking, will save

more palatable and wholesome.

The Gar is Haunted.

Uneasy lies the head that wears
crown" is an old and often-quoted say
ing, but no ruler of modern times has
been made more sensible of it's truth
than the Gar Alexander. Who was it
that also remarked that "Russsa is a
despotism tempered by assassination ?''
This, also, is true, and no precautions
taken by the Gar can relieve him from
the constant apprehension that some
desperate act Of some desperate man or
body of men will ultimately bring about
his death. Even in his summer palace,
surrounded as it is by a double Gordon
warning him of his doom. He has been
shot at and attempts have been made to
blow him up with dynamite, ano on his
last journey to the interior an accident
occurred TO the train in which he was,
with loss of life, and no one knows to
this day whether it arose from a de-
1ective rail or was the work of con-
spirdtors. In his summer palace he
shifts his sleeping place from one room
to another, and that in which he sleeps
is said to be kept secret from all until
the next morning. There may be
exaggeration in this, but there is no
exaggeration in the precautions taken
to protect his wife. The coaches of the
new train IN which he travels are cover
ed with iron armor ard lined with cork
It consists of several saloons so COM
pletaly covered that no one can tell
from the outside where one saloon be-
gins and the other ends, or in what
compartment the Gar may at any time
be found. Every mile of the railroad
undergoes rigorous examination be-
forehand, and guards are stationed at
intervals to be ready for any emergency.

Horrors OF Hydrophobia.
From the indianapolis News.

Attention has often been called to the
unlicensed and unnecessary ours that
infest Indianapolis. They frequently
go Off into an exhilarated state and al
low their fangs to sink into the flesh of
unwary pedestrians. Then hydropho-
bia scare arises. This disease is really
rare, but it is attended with so much
horror that the possibility of it justifes
the anxiety that must always attend the
bite OF dog. Agenuine case of hydro
phobia is rare. The death of Gilman
A. Kimball, brother-in-law of E.
Fuller, of this city, recently reused the

He was very deliberate and rational

The man curled up in seat near by,

the ears are formed, the stalk abounds
IN water and Is lacking in nutrition.
When the ear is about filed and begin
ming to glaze the cutting of the corn at
that stage arrests the nutritive elements
in the stalk, and the fodder is then
equal to hay, being fed to stock with the
ears on the stalk or cut up in cutter.
The finest feed for steers that one
could possibly imagine is Indian corn
fodder cut up early enough in the fall to
have it bright and green. If this fod
der is grown so thick as to have ears
about half or two-thirds the usual
size on each stalk the amount of feed
will he surprisingly large, and there
will still be sufficient grain to keep the
animal thrifty, even though a part of
the feed is millet and oat straw. Such
corn stalks may be fed long or, better
yet, should be run through the feed
cutter, and deposited IN feeding boxes
so constructed that the cattle can not
throw out the fodder in searching for
parts of ears.
THE depths of drains and their dis
lance apart should be regulated by refer
ence to the thickness and order of the
substrata, no less than by the char acter
or texture of the supersoil. Ii the up
per bed is retentive, and of such depth
that the drains cannot be cut complete
ly through it, the best system to adopt
will be shallow drains at close intervals;
and, on the contrary, a pervious material
should have deeper drains at wider in
tervals. If a comparatively thin bed of
clay rests upon porous substratum, the
drains should be cut into the latter or
through it, according to its depth; and
they must, in any case, not be too far
apart.

but a master hand is needed to bring an
ill-trained tree into good shape without
entire heading-down and the conse-
quent loss of three or four years growth.
A general rule for the pruning Of young
trees may be laid down as follows:
Leave no more than three or four main
limbs, and let these be evenly balanced
by cutting away superhuous growth.
Cut out every branch and twig which
grows inward, and prevent all cross
growth of wood, leaving each main
branch with an even and regular set of
small branches, which give hollow
cup-like shape to the tree. This makes
basis for most conveniently formed

An Old Maine Town.
From the Lewiston Journal.

FROM the LeWlStOu JOURNAL.
In the spring of 1889 several families,
residents OF Gloucester, Mass, came
by vessel to North Yarmouth, then by
an Indian trail to New Gloucester.
They built a log house on the northern
side of Harris Hill. Then in sue
cession they erected seven others in the
vicinity, cleared eight pieces of land
containing about twenty acres. which
was in part planted to corn and pota-
toes and the remainder sowed to rye,
and hewed a frame for sawmill. Thus
began the settlement of the present
town of New Gloucester. In the fall
they built a granary in which to store
their crops, and dug potato hole for
the safety of the potatoes from the
frost. September 4 all of the settlers
gathered together and had harvest
dinner. The rye and corn furnished
bread. The brooks and pond provided
fish. The woods supplied the game.
Salt was procured from North Var
mouth. They had become sci support
ing. The dinner was the first which
had been produced from their land.
The salt was paid for from the furs
which they had trapped on their own
soil. They felt as happy and independ-
ent as kings-and enjoyed their coarse
meal with much better relish than
kings can bring to their dainties

A HOME BALLAD.
BY H. j.

III.
When you re sick aud sorry of worldly things,
When figures alright writing pals,
When pride and desire have got them wings,
Home is heaven within four walls.
But when it is home that sharply calls
On the lover to see his lass no more,
The chain of affection chafes and gals,
And home, sweet home is awful bore.
When cbeerlly high the dinner bell rings,
And childish voices are heard in the halls,
When slippers the wife of your bosom brings,
Then home is h heaven within four walls.
But whenever the butcher calls end calls,
And duns by the dozen beset your door,
The vision or happiness faints and falls,
And home, sweet home is an awful bore.
When drear and deserted ere shores and springs,
When the crowds return as the red leaf falls,
Unto some of their hearts g sweet voice sings
That home is heaven within TOUR walls.
But the end of the holidays some appals.
Ana the man who serves in a dryg GODS store.
Meath the stare of his late love humbly crawls-
All home, sweet home is an awful bore.
ENyoI.
Whenever man tires of earthly brawls
Then home is a heaven within four walls.
But the day may come as I've said before,
When home, sweet home is an awful bore.

competition between producers and thus TO
secure larger profits for capital than an open
market and free competition would permit TO
capital this attempt is selfdefeating, because the
business would have been far more profitable IL
the prospect Of exceptional gains had not drawn
into It too many workers and too much capital
and an excessive power Of production. But in
throwing away its own best chance OF pernia-

The same principle applies TO most OF the
combinations by which the natural force OF

TIE NEW PARKS BILL,

Mayor Grant will certainly weaken hisfpo-
sisfoa and influence If he continues TO sup
mart the ives bills relating tp the new parks.
he says. and undoubtedSS he believes. that
the PRESENT boundaries were unwisely adjusted
and that changes in them might be made to
the cfty's advantage. Yet no. matter what
be thinks, heJshculd perceive that the public
does moi agree with him, but b, ON the con-
trasy, strongly 6prosed to all schemes that
contemplate the seopening Of The new parks
question. There are many situations, Of
course. in which an ,hpnest,mfndsd official Is
justified In obeyng his individual conscience
even in preference to public opinion. But this
is not such a situation. There's no'questicn
OF conscience here, The MOST that can be
said for IL is that tits onya question of policy.
Some people profess 10 think the parks 'would
look better and better serve thefr purpose IL
the boundaries were changed. Others do nst
and this is all tbereis to it.
Therefore in obeying public sentiment 'tAc
Mayor would not be subordina4ing matter Of
principle to the popular viii. he would only
be recognizing the fact that he is the servant
Of the people, and that they are entitled TO
have him put their win into execution. he
must be impressed with the fact that there Is
no genuine public sentiment behind the ives
measures but that their only support comes
from small but powerful Clique Of politicians
and real estate speculstors. The new parks
were not suddenly acquired. The agitatien
which ended in their preliminary surveys went
or for years, Months moro were taken In
laying out their limits on the map and months
again In appraisng the land. During all this
time the boundaries were continually under
discussion, and thcy were settled finally by q
commission which gave the matter long and
serious consideration, and which both enjoyed
and deserved the public's confidence.
That it is possible to improve upon their
work may or may not be a fact, but there q
no occasion whatever to disturb it. And Il
there were such an occasion the Ives bills
would stu be wholly objectionable. These
bills open the door wids for ali kinds Of fob
berry. The idea Of enabling any body of rner
from time to time' to cut q slice from The
paris here, and another there. and third
yonder, to sell the public lands at their option
and to create all sorts Of havoc with real estats
values all around the parks, is absurd and pre-
posteroua. A considerable ring has sprung VI
10 shove these bills through the Legislature
The same old and weIlknown influences orr
at work for them. A few respectable names
are secured in their behalf and then the def
