Wanted the Natural Color.

An old fashioned housewife in Clifton,
Pa, farmhouse will never permit her hus.
band to be without at least one black sheep
in his flock She has got notion that it is
not healthy to wear stockings with any kind
of dye in the wool, and, as she dislikes to
wear white hosiery, all her stockings are
made out of natural black wool She card:
the wool into rolls by hand, just as people
did three or four generations ago, spins the
rolls herself and knits her own stockings.
Once tree fell on her only black sheep and
killed it, and her husband had to hustle
around and find another. 1t took him three
days and miles of travel, but he finally came
across black eve lamb fifteen miles away
and bought it.-Chicags Herald.

Praise Your Children.

Parents are too often slow to see the motive
Of their children's kindest actions. A little
fellow has been reading of some young hero
who helped his father and mother in all sorts
of ways, and after racking his brains to think
how he, too, can help, he remembers how he
can fetch his fathers slippers and take his
Without saying a word to anybody, when
evening comes he does it, but the father is so
occupied that he notices not what the boy
has done. The little fellow hopes on, think
ing that when he goes to bed his father will
say how pleased he was to see Charley 50
willing 70 help; but not a word is uttered,
and the boy goes 70 bed with a choking feel
ng in his throat, and says his prayers by the
bedside with a sadness yerv real in his heart.

Parents often complain OF children not be-
ing so ready to help as they should be. The
fault is with the parents, who have hot known
now to evoke feelings with which the heart
Of every child is richly stored. All words Of
approval are helpful and encouraging. In
large family there have been days of anxiety
and care. The eldest daughter by her skill
in teaching has earned a little extra money,
and without a word to any one she lays nearly
all of it out in buying things that are much
needed in the house. What joy fills her heart
when fond mother takes her aside and, with
emotion that cannot be concealed, says hog
thankful she is for such considerate kindness,
and murmurs. 81 don't know what we should
do without you, darling" My friends, do not
be so chary of these words of encouragement.

Hints to Housekeepers,

Remove machine grease from cotton OF
linen by washing in rain water and soap.
If the boiled potatoes are done little too
soon, lay a towel over the kettle or dish, but
do not put tight cover over them.
Paint on windows can, it is said, be re-
moved by melting some soda in very hot
water, and washing them with it, using a soft
flannel
Let the table, when no one is present but
the home circle, be the model of what it
should be when surrounded by guests.
When potters' ware is boiled for the pur-
pose of hardening it, handful or two of
bran should be thrown into the water, and
the glazing will never bs injured by acids or
salt.
There is nothing better for nervousness
than celery tea, the tops or roots, or even the
seed, and in draining the water from cooked
celery you lose the best part.
, The holes around lamp burner should be
kept open to admit air, and entirely free from
dust and grease. The wick should be trimmed
very evenly.
Make starch with soapy water, and you
will find it pleasure to do up starched goods.
1t prevents the iron from sticking, and makes
glossy surface.

will cleanse hard finished walls nicely. Change

To polish slate floors, use a smooth fiat
piece of pumice stone, then polish with rot
ten stone. Washing well with soap and wa
ter is usually enough to keep the states clean,
but by adopting the above method, not only
does the slate become polished, but any stains
are taken out
AS an antidote for aconsumptive tendency
it is claimed that cream acts like a charm,
and serves all the purposes intended to be
served by cod liver oil with much greater
certainty and effect. Besides persons con-
sumptiyely inclined, those with feeble diges-
ton, aged people and those inclined to chilli
ness and cold extremities are especially bene
fitted by liberal use of sweet cream.

Seal or Gum,

During the battle of Copenhagen Nelson had
occasion to write n letter to the crown prince
of Denmark. A wafer was handed to him,
but he rejected it, and ordered lighted can
die to be brought from the cockpit. He
melted wax, and sealed the letter with q
larger seal than he ordinarily used. "This is
no time" said he, ito appear hurried and
informal"
The anecdote illustrates Nelson's GOODNESS in
time of intense excitement, and it also
shows his diplomatic skill which, knowing
the effect of trifes on human intercourse, pre-
ferred wax to wafer, deliberately selected
larger seal and made clean impression OF
his coat of arms
Mr.. Hamerton, who quotes this story in his
Human Intercourse" publishes also this ex-
tract from SCOTS "Waverley" to Illustrate
the celebration with which our forefathers
sealed letter, and the care they exercised to
secure an accurate impression:
"Sir Everard again conducted his nephew
to the library, where he produced letter,
carefully folded, surrounded by little strip
of fox silk, according to ancient form, and
sealed with an accurate impression of the
Waverley coat of arms"
Our generation is practical, and knows the
value of every second. 1t cannot spend the
time necessary to melt the wax and to secure
a fair impression of the seal 1t is satisfied
rapidly to lick the gum on the inside of en- en-
velope and then to thump it to make it stick.
The practice is neither dignifed nor elegant,
and there are no pleasant associations con-
nected with it, such as were linked to the act
of sealing; but it saves time, and that is val
liable to men of business.-Youth's Com
panion.

A Roumanian Peasant Marriage.

The Roumanian peasants have many inter-
esting social customs, and none more inter
esting than their fashion of making love and
marrying. The queen of Roumania C'Car-
men Sylvan tells in The Forum how the lads
strip the marriageable girls of their long
girdles and wind them about their OWL
bodies. Ii after a time the parents of a girl
demand the return of her girdle by the youth
who wears it, he is an accepted lover To a
wedding the whole village is invited. The
troth sponsors stand beside the bridal pair
before the altar, bearing in their hands each
a tall, stout wax candle The bride and
bridegroom must thrice eat of the same NOR
sci and drink out of the same goblet, to sig
Nifty that as long as they live they will share
with each other every bit and sup. TheIi,
led by the trothfather and trothmother,
they walk round the altar thrice; that repre-
sents the paths through life. During the
walk the bride must give tug to the foot of
one of the maids present, who then is sure to
be married before year is out. If the bride
is a maid the golden thread is solemnly taken
off her head 1t serves in the place of veil
and is like golden hair, being specially be-
coming when it reflects the candlelight. HeI
hair is then clipped little, rolled tight under
first time covered with the veil, the token of
matronal dignity During this performance
the bride must weep and cry, for henceforth
she must never show her hair, not even to
her husband

The first postmistress was the widow of
Col. Andrew Balfour, of Revolutionary times.
She was a Miss Elizabeth Dayton, of New
port, R. l. Balfour came to America from
Edinburgh, Scotland, in l712 landing at Bos-
ton. He was few years in the north, and
married Miss Dayton in New York city. II
III he sailed for Charleston, but the dis
tracted state of the country induced him to
leave his wife and her children with relations
in New England until he could prepare a
southern home for them, but soon after this
the tide of war turned south and rolled its
wave over the Carolinas, and her husband
cast in his lot with the defenders of the home
of his adoption North Carolina but he soon
fell victim to the barbarity of a party of
Royalists, led by Col Fannin, a British Off
Ger, who murdered Balfour in his house in
the presence of sister and his eldest child.
As soon as Mrs. Balfour heard of her hus-
bands tragic death she FASTENED south, COM
ing in care of Gen. Greene, who landed at
Washington From thence it was a tedious
trip through the country to the home in Ran
dolph county, where her noble husband was
murdered. As the country was still unsafe
Mrs. Balfour deemed it improper to live upon
the plantation. With sorrow she turned
away from his lonely resting place and went
to Salisbury until she could return to the
spot so dear to her While residing III Sails
bury, President Washington appointed her
postmistress, which position was filed with
entire satisfaction, and when her accounts
were audited she was only one-half cent
behind.-Sunny South.

An Albany lawyer who in his early days
was fond Of trout fishing was having good
luck at a stream when a horny handed son of
toll came upon the scene He was the owner
of the property. Don't yer see that sign~
said he, pointing to one of several with the
same lettered inscription: "No fishing allow
ed here" The lawyer answered in the affir-
native bya nod of the head, at the same
time landing beauty. Perhaps you know
the law on the subjectw again put in the
farmer. "Well, yes, do. Would you like to
hear It'll" The farmer then listened to an able
Interpretation of the law, and at its close or.
dered the angler to skip as he was clearly by
his own words transgressor. He continued
fishing, however, secured good string, and
when he had returned to Albany he began
suit against the granger for $40 for counsel
fees. And he won his suit, too.-Albany

A Little Late.

Nearly twenty years ago my first interest
in the cat was excited one day in early youth
when out hunting. A lady at the farm
where l stopped for dinner requested me to
shoot her cat, which was getting old and use
less to the family. With the thoughtlessness
of youth consented and asked boy in the
yard to scare the animal that it might run
and have a show for life. The scared animal
dashed off madly for the field, and when run
ming at right angles to my gun | fired II
stopped instantly, turned and faced me with
look of anguish and reproach and fell dead.
That single glance has never been blotted
from my memory and never will be. From
that day have been in irresistible sympathy
with the cat, have never lost an opportunity
to make one my friend, and have held in con.
tempt those who maltreat the mute occu-
pants of the household. New York Star.

Linen Wedding Presents.

As the season approaches when the young
woman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts Of
trousseaux, the admiring friend is seized by
the only less perplexing question: "What
shall give for a wedding presently Well,
why not more often give some of the many
things which can be made of linen for the
tablet Linen is always useful with little
manipulation it can be made most beautiful !;
and yet how seldom we see it. A recent
bride of my acquaintance had among her
gifts eighteen pictures, seven rocking chairs
and a huge trunk packed full of various small
pieces of silver from different friends, but
noticed only one gift of table linen.
The other day | saw a set of tea napkins
designed for a wedding present, the idea of
which was new to me and may be new to
many others. They were simply the ordinary
fringed damask napkins, but across one cor
ner of each was a short sentence embroidered
in wash silk. The clever maker had written
the sentences in her own angular hand on the
stiff linen and then embroidered over the
writing 1t seems to be difficult to find quo
tations enough, bearing upon the subjects Of
hospitality and welcome, so that most of
these were simply wise sayings, such as the
following: They are never alone that are
accompanied by noble thoughts" Fortune
is another name for nature and necessity"
Responsibility educates." Paradise is open
to all kind hearts" Justice is truth in ac-
ton" Sentences like these may be quite an
incentive to table talk" and one can easily
find plenty such inquotation books or in ones
daily reading. Good Housekeeping.
