Hints for the Kitchen.
" asl ington Star.
Cleanse the sink-spout with copper
as water.
If sassafras bark is sprnkIed among
fruit i5 will keep out the worms.
Tin cleaned with paper will shine
better than when cleaned with fan
mel.
Ham should be boiled very quick
ly, and just enough to cook through
Yeast jals should be washed in
cold water and afterwards thorough
ly scalded.
Oil clothes will last longer if one
or two layers Of of wadded carpet
lining are laid under them.
Tea leaves are good to scatter over
carpets before sweeping, not only to
freshen the colors, but also to prevent
| the dust arising.
Plenty of towels in the kitchen is q
! saving, and six good wipers are
none too many. Three each aweek
and the rinsing after meals is not
needed.
Cranberries will keep through the
winter in a firkin of water, but to
have them quite fresh the water
must be changed several times dur
| ing the season.
Lay a piece of thick Canton flannel
under your tablecloth. Even coarse
| napery will look much better quail
| ity with sub-cover than if spread
directly over the bare table top.
Flowers can be kept fresh for some
time if a pinch of soda or salGpeter is
added to the water. Wilted roses
will regain their freshness if dipped
minute or two in hot water.
The elasticity of cane chair bottoms
can be restored by washing the cane
| with soap and water until it is well
soaked and then drying thoroughly
in the air, after which they will be.
come as tight and firm as new, il
none of the canes are broken.
In washing tumblers or goblets
that have have been used for milk do
not plunge them into hot water
without first rinsing, as it drives the
milk into the glass and can not be re.
| moved.
To clarity molasses heat over the
fire, pour in one pint of sweet milk
to each gallon of molosses. The i'm.
purities will rise in scum, which
must be taken off before broken by
boiling.
Saving in the kitchen tells upon
the income and makes the bank &C.
count heavier, but there is one saving
that exceeds even these; it is that the
wife and mother save herself.

THE SPIRIT OF POESI

BY FANNIE SPEAR YOUNG.
Sweet spirit! thou dost bear the mind
On viewless wings to realms Of
light
Dost sloop to earth; and, unconfin ed
The soul of love doth plume its
flight.
TITS thee 1 read in tn violet's blend
ing,
Thy whispered sound, inspiring and
sweet,
/ hear as tn smallest flow'r is send
ing
To Heaven its incense, pure and
meet.
1 welcome thee in tn smiling cloud,
And sing with thee Dv the ripping
stream;
Thy music, tho not deep or loud,
Is the poets joy-the poets dream.
Sweet spirit of love, thou are my
light
When life is dark, and pleasure
pals;
Thou temp'rest the winds, and time
in its flight
Flows sweetly oil, like loves foot
falls.
And on and on no change is made
In souls alight with thy dear fire,
For chance and change thy voice
hath stayed,
And life becomes living Tyre.
Dwell ever with me, spirit divine;
With thee each word becomes a
song;
Ten thousand sweets in thee combine
Old Times great harp to keep love-
strung.
Be thou my stay, kind spirit, my
friend,
For well 1 know thou'rt solace
sweet
For weary days and long to end,
With which my life seems o'er-re-
plete.
But yet feel thou'il meier depart
High Heavens fire can never die;
once within my heart,
Thy throne is raised-an altar high
1 heed me not that years are fleeting,
Since thou thy magic spell hath
given;
At thine ethereal altar meeting
Are transports - yea, the poets |

THE DANCE QUESTION.

The moral sense Of even religious
bodies, the Kansas City Star sug-
gests, will differ. The Methodist
body recently in session at Columbus,
O., condemned the inaugural ball as
sinful, and called upon President
elect Harrison to express his dis
approval of it in some emphatic
manner. The leading men Of the
Presbyterian clergy now in session
! in New York recognize the ball as
Zone of the established national Gus
Eyoms. They do not expect General
5s4arrison to make a spectacle of
himself by either oficiously opposing
orapproving the ball. They expect
him to let a time-honored social
custom take its way, uninterrupted
by him. But evidently the ''sinful
inaugural ball''i to become a church
question. The Methodist ministers
Of Indianapolis are to consider the
subject, and they are expected to
assume a hostile attitude towards
the affair.

many crops win be found to be
small; yet. this is the only way Of
correctly getting the actual cost.
If the farm is at all profitable. it
should pay a fair per cent. upon the
capital invested, over and above all
expenses, and that upon the basis of
counting fair price for every days
work done. The price that should
be charged will, Of course, vary in
different localities, just the same as
the price for other classes of work
will vary in different sections. The
work Of man should be counted at
a fair price, and another price for
the man and team.
In harvesting, stacking and
threshing, the customary prices paid
to others for this kind of work
should always be considered, as this
is the only fair basis of keeping
correct accounts. In feeding and
caring for the stock, the manure
secured ought, under all average
conditions, to be sufficient to pay
for this work. The crops, too.
should always be charged with fair
proportion Of the work of hauling
out and applying. If commercial
fertilizers are applied, the cost, both
of the material and the work.
should be charged against the crop;
but when stable manure is hauled
out, the cost should be divided,
charging about two-thirds, at least,
to the first crop, and the balance to
the next two or three, as the effects
Of good application of manure
would be felt by several crops.
The idea that because the farmer
must live, and that he must keep
his teams, and that, therefore,
he ought to work for nothing, is an
erroneous one, unless he is willing
to work for everybody else, as well
as for himself. for his board.
A very good plan is to charge for
the work just what you would be
willing to pay some one else for
doing it for you. It may be true
that calculating upon this basis, and
then taking the average yield Of
the crops at ruling market price,
would show very small margin Of
profit, yet such is really the only
correct way Of ascertaining the full
cost Of each crop when ready for
market; and this account taken
from the value Of the product when
marketed, or rather, when ready to
market, will show the amount of
profit or loss. as the case may be.

The Facts.

The true facts in regard to the kill ing Of the Mexican in the spring of 1882 by Dave Nagle are as follows, as testified to by dozens of men who were residents of Tombstone at that time, and who still reside here. The Mexican had been arrested and fined for violating city ordinance, and was granted permission to go out in charge of police officer Joseph F. Ponyton to procure the money. They went to a house on First street where a number of Mexicans were carousing, and after being in the house short time the Mexican told Poynton that he did not intend returning with him. Poynton concluding that discretion was the better part of valor in this case, re- turned up town and hunted up Nagle, who was at that time chief of police The two officers started to get their man, and when near the house the Mexican came out and fired at them with Winchester, hitting Poynton in the groin and then started to run. Nagle emptied his revolver at the fu- gitive, but apparently did not hit him. About this time man rode up having Winchester, and Nagle secured both horse and gun and gave pursuit. When near where the Sterling mill now is, he caught sight of the Mexican and fired, killing him. Poynton was laid up for eleven weeks. No arrests were made, as the officers had merely done their duty. These are the facts in the case, all assertions to the contrary notwithstanding.-Epitaph.
