Household Suggestions.

Dark carpets do not need to be swept
oftener than light ones if you give them 8
good busting say twice week with a fan
mel cloth tied around an ordinary broom.
When one has been so unfortunate as
to get machine oil stains on white sewing,
saturate the piece of work in cold wataz
immediately, soak for two hours, dry in
the sun, then wash in ts.TS usual way.
Ifyou are building put the hooks in chill
drens' bed room closets low enough to be
easily reached by then. 1t is also a good
idea to have closet SO arranged that
sleds, rocking horse and all large play
things can have place
Dust has such sad way of insinuating
itself wherever there is place for it to
lodge or work through, that house keepers
are almost distracted to find brooms and
busters that will fit in every nook and
crevice. A long handled feather duster, a
short. handled feather buster, a toy broom,
a Whist broom, fat bristle bush, paint
brush, and the ordinary cheese cloth dus-
tiers seem to do all the busting that is re-
CURED, if vigorously welded. Good
housekeeping. -

If we pray in submission to Gods will,
not only will the right blessing be given,
but it will come in the right way, though
not always in the way we have chosen.

Our happiness depends on little things,
says philosopher. This is true. a man
who comes into possession of 9 plugged
quarter can never know true happiness
til he succeeds in passing it off on some
one.-Boston Courier.
St. Landry democrat., 1889-05-11

Take two town sites. Let one be a
beautiful location, with all natural ad-
vantages possible, and the other, none of
these. Take 500 old fogies and mis-
ers men who do not believe in giving
capitalists anything for risking their
money in their town-and put them on
the good site. Take 200 good, live ener-
getic, get-up-sort of fellows who never
let an opportunity pass to advertise them
selves and their town, and set them on the
poor town site. Then watch these two
towns for the next five years, and you will
readily catch on the secret of the town
building. Exchange.

No human word can express the whole
even of human love, or the burden of
human sorrow. What then? Shall men
be like the csged eagle that. beats out its
brains on the bars of its cage? All no.
He can go into the closet and speak to
God if he cannot express all his feelings
there, there are groanings which cannot
be uttered that God hears. God is left
after.-B. III. Palmer.

COVERINGS ron rARLoR rLoons.

The latest thing in floor decorations for
parlors is variety Of mating with check
cred figures. 1t has become very popular.
and promises to supersede all the material
this summer as a floor covering. Many
Of the designs are striking aud attractive,
and the stuff is quite durable. In pur-
chasing it, however, care must he taken
TO select only that which is closely woven.
Loosely woven straw mating, like loose
" woven ingram carpets, wear out very
rapidly, and the trifling amount addi-
tional which will he paid for mating
closely woven will be made up by its
durability.
Handsome rugs are almost indispensa-
bic ndjuncts TO the straw mating. Also
wicker chairs and settces, tastefully deco
rated with chair scarfs, while the piano
cover must be of heavy material Of light
colors. Louis Stars Sayings.

THE FAMILY WASHING.

This seems to be the bugboar of all
housekeeping, and in fact there is nothing
that seems to upset the whole household
machinery as wash day. 1t always seemed
to me that Monday, of all days, was the
worst possible day to select for this.
Many ladies have stepped out and down
from the old custom; some have selected
Saturday and others Tuesday.
The advantage of Saturday is that it is
next after sweeping day, when the bed
linen is changed, and then, too, it is a
day that so many housekeepers take to
scrub their kitchen If the washing is done
the same day one scrubbing day is en-
tirely done away with. Then, too, Sun
day following it gives one day Of rest be-
tween the washing and ironing. If the
washing is done on Monday, no matter
how much is provided on Saturday in the
way of baking and cooking, it is all gone
by Monday, and finds you on that day
with only ''pickups' for dinner.
The advantage of Tuesday Is that you
have all day Monday to prepare for your
washing. To repair any serious rents,
which are much better done before the
starch is in; any patching, which, aiter
it is ironed is scarcely noticeable.
In many families too much preparation
for Monday is done upon the Sabbath
evening, n time | never like anything to
+ 'encroach upon.
To all young housekeepers would say
order your own houshold TO suit your
self, and do not act entirely to please
your neighbors.
For family of six put on the boiler
two-thirds full OF soft water, two table
spoonfuls of coal oil, two-thirds of bar
Of soap, let il come TO n boil.
Wet your clothes in clear water, wiring
out, putting the cleanest clothes in first,
let boil for thirty minutes, put your
wringer on the boiler and wiring out, and
so on, until all the white clothes are
boiled, putting in more oil and soap each
time. BE sure and have the water boil
ing hot before putting in the clothes.
Rinse thoroughly, blue, starch, and
hang out. Should there be any very soiled
places, rub on n little soap and put upon
the board. Sunshine.

THE HERO OF THE coNEMAuoH.

Above the VALLEY of the Conemaugb
Black, boding clouds frowned down;
The spirit Of the tempest shriekcd
Its voiceless warning TO fated town.
"Flec, fee for your livesr' IL cried;
Escape the surge Of the relentless tide"
Yet no one heeded--po one understood;
No warning reached those oftwarned ears.
Fathers but laughed and mothers fond
But smiled, and soothed their children's
fears,
While still the tempest sobbed and cried:
Flee fec for your liyes! Ridel rideW
Far up the valley one man understood;
An unknown hero heard the awful cry,
And like whirlwind rode he down
To warn them Of deaths horror nigh.
"Flee. flee for your livesw he cried;
Escape the surge of the relentless tide"
Hes mad" they thought. Few needed what
he said:
Some laughed and scoffed, handful ned,
Bu; nearly all remained behind
Within that Valley of the Dead.
Still on he rode and madly cried
"F'lee, flee for your livesl Ride Rider
On. on he rodo and raced with death,
Till. beaten in that unequal strife,
The torrent caught him, and his corpse
Swept on with those Of men for whom h
gave his life;

Birds Nest Soup.

During the recently ended social season
when the retiring leaders were vieing
with each other in giving gorgeous en-
tertainments and setting elaborate tables,
the chef Of the Stanford mansion tickled
the palates Of the guests on dinner oc-
casion and set their tongues to wagging
about delicious soup most daintily
served. Every one present was slipping
it and discussing it's excellence, uncon.
scious of what they were eating, until
some one curiously inclined vcnturcd to
inquire what it was. TWAS real Chinese
birds nest soup, II culinary concoction
which. il made and served as they are
wont to make and serve il in the fowery
kingdom, attests the fine discrimination
of the Oriental gastronomc-in this line
Of delcacics mt least. As Senator stan
ford employs Chinese cook, the service
was doubtless original. The soup is made
from the real nest Of the birds. These
birds are bats or swifts, much like the
American swallow, and congregatc In
large numbers in caves mostly along the
coasts of China and British North Bor'
neo. The nests are made from little tsi
and scaweed taken from the ocean in the
spring of the year, and soft fungoid
growth that incrusts the limestone II
damp places, about an inch thick, darh
outside and perfectly white inside. Thil
latter the birds take in their mouths and
draw out in iilamcnt backward and for
ward like n caterpillar weaving its CO.
coon. The nests are gathered entirely by
candle light ut height of several hun
dred feet, and though these caves have
been worked several hundred years, there
seems to be no apparent diminution o
the supply. The authentic recipe, as Rivcl
by the Chinese cooks, is Us follows TAX
six birds nests and soak over night il
cold water. In the morning wash clear
in fresh water and then steam for si'
hours. After steaming, pick out nj
feathers, retaining the juice for tho soup
The stock Of the soup is then made from
either chicken or veal. In this put few
pigeon eggs, and the seasoning il then

Every second was precious, and We

We found CASTILLO lying dead with

into an open glade, and found Zuba and
Torres struggling in deadly combat. BE.

negro wrestcd himself from the grasp OF
the Portuguese, and drawing his knife,
buried It in the unhappy wrctch's breast.
"Sec," he cried, springing to his feet.
at is right he die, when oil my people he
betray!"
We tried to seize him, but with a cry
he sprang into the forest and disappeared
Torres was stone dead; and leaving
him where he lay at the foot Of tree,
we hurried on to the creek and reached
the boats in safety.
The Arabs must have been in close
pursuit, for heavy fire greeted us from
shore as we rowcd out to the gunboats
A few rounds from a small cannon, how
ever, soon drove the enemy back.
Before night we were gliding unde,
full steam down the creek, for my order
were imperative and admitted OF no dclny
much as would have liked to punish The
Arabs.
The Racer at once organized an expo
dition to start inland from the coast, fo
was satisfied that slave station existed
in the vicinity. While the preparation
for this was going on, an Arab dhow wa

Just rctribution for their crimcs.-1F
