POOR OLD BIXBY.

He Tries to Oblige His Wife and Man
ages to Put His Foot in 1t.
''The girl is gone and I've had to get
dinner myself to-day" said Mrs. Bixby,
when Mr.. Bixby came home the other
night. 81 expected another girl this
afternoon, but she hasn't come, so I'll
have to ask you to look after the chill
dren, Elijah, while wash the Dishes"
''No," replied Mr.. Bixby, firmly but
kindly. ''No, Mandy, taking care of
babies isn't my forte. Only women can
do that to perfection. But I'll tell you
what I'll do, Mandy, I'll do up the
dishes and tidy up the kitchen slick as
whistle while you attend to the chill
dren. Washing dishes and sweeping is
something 1 can do. I've done it for
my mother a thousand times, and I'd
just like to show you how proficient
am in that sort of thing. Now, you and
the children clear out and let me have
free swing at things and see if I don't
surprise you"
Mrs. Bixby cleared OUT" but had Of :
casion to go into the kitchen half al
hour later to scald out the baby's bottle,
and that she was surprised her words
indicated. ''Why, Elijah Bir6y," she
cried aghast, and she is very even
tempered woman, too. ''What do YOU
mean by washing the dishes in the
skillet? You didn't see any thing else?
Why, the dish-pan's under the sink.
And what are you washing them with?
An old sock that the girl uses for an
iron-holder? And you've been wiping
them on the floor scrub cloth! And
there's those fine glasses and the solid
silver spoons in water with an inch OF
grease on top of it, and-well, if. this Is
the way you washed your mother q
dishes"
s'Wash your own darned dishes, then,
madam" shrieked Bixby, as he fed to
his own room.-Time.

SHIPPED images of gods, valiant soldiers
and saints; from some of the most inn
portant of these come the names applied
to the different days of the week.
From an idol Of the sun comes Sunday,
or, in other words, upon the day we
now hold sacred as the Sabbath the
ancients worshiped the sun. 1t is not
the ancient Sabbath of the Jewish peo-
pie, and it is very doubtful even if it is
the ''Lord's Day." spoken of by Paul.
On the second day of the week the old
Saxons worshiped the moon and called
it MONDAY. We have dropped one ''o''
and call it Monday.
Tuisco, from which we derived the
word Tuesday, was one of the most an
cient and popular gods of the Germans,
and the third day of the week was dedi-
Gated to his worship.
Wooden, for whom we have named
Wednesday, was prince of high stand
ing among the Saxons. His image was
prayed to for victory. On the fourth
day after each succeeding sun worship
the old Saxons spent hours invoking
the blessing of old Wooden.
Thor, from which comes Thursday,
was a god of the chase, and was repre-
sented as being seated on couch of skins
with twelve stars over his head and hold
ing scepter in his hand.
Friga, the god of Friday, was some
thing. of a hunter himself, and was rep
resented with drawn sword in one hand
and bow in the other.
Scatter, the god of Saturday, according
to a picture of him, must have been per-
fectly wretched. He is thin-visaged,
long-haired, with flowing beard and
far-away look in his eye; his finger nails
are long and hooked like bird claws.
In his right hand he carries bucket
partially filed with water, strewn over
the surface with fruits and flowers. His
picture is almost a counterpart of that
of old Gather Time."-St. Louis Re-

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

DID you ever try dry bran for acking
apples?
TAKE walk around the orchard and
garden. Have your note book along.
HAVE you protected the young trees
of the orchard against the attacks of
mice?
ABOUT ten million pounds more dried
and evaporated apples were exported
this year than last.
If you have some long manure that
you wish to put to good use, spread it
among the raspberries.
IF the ground is not yet frozen it will
yet do to lay down the raspberry and
blackberry bushes and the grapevines.
1T is claimed that the daily consump-
ton of good sound fruit is better than
all the cathartics in the universe. It is
pleasanter 'sto take
ASSERT your seeds and make list of
what you need for next years planting
do it now-when the opportunity
comes for buying you will know just what
you want

Leather Is now susceptible Of being
made IS soft and pliable IS silk, and il
could be manufactured into variety of
articles of apparel for ladies, many of
whom are now wearing embroidered kid
hats, bonnets. collars, cuffs and vests.
The ancient Aztecs have left behind
them specimens OF embroidery on buck
skin which, it is acknowledged, can not
be surpassed in the present day for fine
ness of finish, softness of texture and
rich, imposing display. The objection
may be advanced that leather garments,
on account of not being porous, are un-
healthy, but this difficulty is easily sur
mounted by perforation, and many evil
dences now exist that the soft, delicate
products of our tanneries are destined
for more extensive use in wearing ap-
parel and in the decorative arts.-Shoe

Preserving Apples In soll.

remember when a boy finding
apples in the orchard which had lain
hidden in the grass and leaves till
spring. What mattered it then that
they were slightly musty? They were
plump, juicy and scarce. Claygate
Pearmains and Ribstons stood the or
deal of winter better than soft varie-
ties. The plan of storing apples in
earth, or ''clamping" them, is prac-
ticed in some parts of the country, but
it is not to be recommended, as the fruit
acquires a slightly musty and bitter
taste. If stored in sand it is difficult
to get the grit out of the eyes and stalk
cavities. The best materials is the
siftings from burnt clay, which is free
from germs of any kind. have tried
moss, but this also gives a musty
taste to the fruit stored in it or on it.
So does straw, and, worse still, hay.
Even boards convey an undesirable
flavor to fruit stored upon them, and 1
always interpose sheets of Whitley
brown paper between the fruit and the
shelves--W. R., in Gardeners Chron-
