morning, when several persons were

from sleep and were both horribly cut by
the raving father. He started for the door
and cut his own throat, his body falling
against and barring the opening of the door.
He was about s. years OF age, and had nc
particular business.
When the neighbors broke in it was hor-

was literally covered with blood The
bodies of the victim and murderer were
still warm, but all were dead The affair

A TREASURED KEEPSAKE.

While turning some old keepsakes over
In sorrowful mood and forlorn,
The gem OF them all I discover
In child's sampler, faded and torn,
With faintly-worked letters unfolding
An incomplete motto, a-stare,
And the time-yellowed canvas still holding
ringlet Of pale golden hair.
II Love My Dear Papa Forever"
Runs the legend, the rest being blurred,
While the last Of the childish endeavor
Fritters out in . Embroidered word;
Though all that was meant is completed
In the wool that my mem'ry unrolls,
Ever since the small workers soul fleeted
TO the Giver and taker OF souls.
Only child's sampler, faded,
With poor struggling letters inwrought:
But, ali ! how distinct and unaided
1t emblazons its beautiful! thought!
Only yellow curl treasured
In the limp, f1imsy, many-creased plaits,
But instinct with affection unmeasured
BY earth's feeble standards, or fate's!
Oh! again and again do kiss it.
With her image still fresh in my mind!
And that artless child's love, how I miss it,
Sin Q no more with my life It's combinedl
Save as Death, the light footed purlo'ner,
yLove is run down in the end,
And as Faith still abides to rejoin her
In those heights she was first to ascend.
Once again with your mates return you,
Dear Keepsake! more precious than all
And again in the Past inurn you,
AS lifes shadows, deepening, fall.
Once more in the casket set you,
And, turning the key, depart,
With no fear that I'll slight or forget you,
Since your motto Is worked IN my heart.

A BEAUTIFUL table-cover is made of cream
white corduroy. It is lined with golden
yellow sateen and finished all around the
edge with gold-colored silk cord.
Pies should be well baked, and need an
oven at moderate heat, as too rapid baking
renders the crust tough, and the fruit IS
never so II ie in color or flavor.
OLD china needs the greatest care both in
washing and drying. Too hot water may
crack 1t. Lukewarm water and soft soap is
the best thing for china, and it should also
be rinsed in lukewarm water.
The great secret of good boiled salt fish
is to freshen it properly before boiling
Some people soak their fish two or three
hours and wonder why it is so hard, salt
and dry: 1t should soak at least twelve
hours, and longer won't hurt it.
AN excellent powder for polishing tim
ware can be made of the soft white clnders
found IN coal ashes. They should be crushed
INTO tine powder and applied to the clean
tin with a flannel The powder is so fine
that 1t polishes without scratching the tin.
In furnace-heated houses the air often be-
comes too dry If cloths are wrung from
clean water and hung near the register, re-

rooms should be such that at temperature

water OF fifty degrees brought into the room
would receive deposit of moisture upon it.
PUT plenty of arborvite white cedar)
twigs in closets, chests or bags where wool
ems or furs are kept. Moths have an aver
sion to the odor of cedar, and it is easy in
this way to have substitute for the cedar
wood chests once considered so lndispensa-
ole. The twigs may also be placed under
the carpets where heavy furniture is to
stand.
If the water supply is of a suspicious
character, thoroughly boil it before using,
and then place it where there is no danger
OF its becoming infected. If ice is to be
used In cooling the drinking water, keep it
out Of the water, only packing it around the
water vessel, but not putting ice INTO the
vessel or allowing the melted ice in any
way to enter your drinking water, and thus
take the chances on its contamination.
