and that hundreds of thousands o
buried cities and temples yet remain

The Yernacular Art OF the West.

that what, for the want of more co n
venient name, haze called the verna-
cular art OF the West-that which ac-
companies the first advances OF civil
ization into the new lands, and fingers
long after the successful establish
ment of all the institutions OF civil or
der and prosperity will not be recog-
nized in the future history OF Ameri-
can architecture; much less, that it
will be stigmatized as n reproach. In
fact, it is merely preliminary to
architecture, though for the movement
IL pretends to be the real thing. 1t is
evidently n hasty growth cut OF the
immediate necessities OF an enterpris-
ing people, too busy with the practical
problems of life and the absorbing
question OF daily bread to have estaD-
lished ideals OF art. or to have DELHI
erately formulated in building an
adequate expression OF their civiliza-
tion.-Van Brunt in Atlantic.

The Two Monsters Faults.

How many soever you find or fancy
your faults to be, there are only two
that are OF real consequence-idleness
and cruelty. Unless you are deliber-

often be cruel TO many.

be tender, juicy and sweet. To cook such
piece OF meat, put it over the fire in
enough boiling water to barely cover it.
Let it boil briskly for a few minutes, turn
ing it over once and Swimming off all
scum that rises, then set the pot back
where it will simmer and cook three or
four hours, letting the water cook down
till the meat browns little Turn the
meat over several times and do not salt
it until it has cooked two hours. Keep
the pot closely covered.
very good dish can be made out of
two or three pounds of flank. Make a
cupful of dressing the same as you would
for turkey and spread over the flank,
after having sprinkled it with salt. Be-
gin at one end and roll it up completely
and tie it with Irvine. Roll so that when
you cut from the end of the roll you will
cut across the grain. Put it into pot

cook off.

Household Hints.


Common I've OF wood ashes Will soften
hard putty in few minutes.
A bit of butter rubbed on a white spot
on vanished furniture, will restore the
color.
A brisk rubbing with sand-paper will,
it is stated, restore yellowish knife and
fork handles.
If you want a new shoe to fit as easily
as an old one, put on two pair of stock
ings before your measure is taken.
A little saltpeter or carbonate of soda
mixed with the water in which flowers
are placed will keep them fresh for two
weeks.
Egg shells crushed into small bits and
shaken well in decanters three parts filled
with cold water will not only clean them
thoroughly, but will make the glass look
like new.
In severe paroxysms in coughing, either
in coughs, cold, Or consumptives, one
or two tablespoonful OF pure glycerine
in either milk or hot, rich cream will
afford almost immediate relief.
Clean water will not injure the most
delicate silk if, when split, it is at once
rubbed dry with clean, soft cloth-a
handkerchief, for instance. The stain is
caused, not by the water, but by the dust
on the edges of the spot drying with it.
Make a small square bag of flannel,
leaving one end partly open. In this put
all the remnants of soap as the pieces
become too small to handle easily. When
the bag is filled, haste up the opening,
and it makes a good bath tub arrange

fully pursuing this putation plants

THE PUMPKIN.

All, on Thanksgiving Day, when from East and
from West
From North and from South come the pilgrim
and guest,
When the gray haired New Highlander sees round
his board
The old broken links of affection restored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother
once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl
smiled BEFORE
What moistens the lip and what brightens the
eye?
What calls back the past like the rich pumpkin
pie?
O,-fruit loved of boyhood!-the old days recall
ing.
When wood grapes were purpling and brown nuts
were falling!
When wild ugly faces carved in it's skin.
Glarng out through the dark with a candle
When we laughed round the corn heap, with
hearts all in tune.
Our chair a broad pumpkn-our lantern the
moon,
Telling tales of the fairy who Travelled like steam
In q pumpkin shell coach, with two rats for her
team! j. G.. Whittier.

A Kitchen Case.

A case of plain drawers saves my wife
more time and steps than any other one
thing about the kitchen. It is made
movable, and occupies space just three
from front to rear. 1t is all made of
inch lumber, except the drawers the front
of which are Ct inch, and the sides, back
and bottom of half-inch. There are fif-
teen drawers ofuniform size, eleven inches
square, inside measure, and six inches
deep, which makes them hold about
twelve quarts each. These drawers are
all plainly labelled, and are used for those
things wanted in every kitchen, and
which too frequently have no special
place, and cause loss Of time and worry
when the hOusekeeper is most hurried.
Some of the labels on these drawers are
as follows: Towels, Matches, Starch,
Coffee, Soap, Spices, Rice, etc. One drawer
labelled Tools, contains brads, tacks,
pincers, tack-hammer, avis, gimlet,
screwdriver, and such other small tools
and appliances as have way of hiding
when needed. In another is kept Irvine
and waste paper, taken from packages
bought at the store. The backing and
brushes occupy one and can always be
found when wanted.
The bottom of the lower drawers is
two feet from the floor, but foot lower
is shelf on which we set q tray holding
one and one-half bushels of meal This
tray is about fourteen inches wide at
bottom, so as to fit the shelf, but il
slopes to eighteen inches wide at top, so
that it projects far enough to enable us
to fill it conveniently and dip out easily
A lid six inches wide covers this projec-
ton. The tray is divided by partition,
so that two kinds of meal can be kept in
it. 1t is not expensive to make such a
case, but as it is some years since mine
was made, | do not recOllect the cost.
Two boards, each five feet long, for the
sides; and five three feet long, two per-
pendicular and three horizontal, each one
foot wide, in all twenty five feet oflumber,
makes the frame. About ten feet of half
inch lumber will make the back, and each,
drawer will take about fourfeet oflumber,
so that, including the tray, about one
hundred feet of lumber will be required.
Buy store boxes for all the short lumber,
as they are just as good as any, and can
usually be had cheap. After your wife
finds out how very convenient such q
case of drawers is, she would not be with
out it for several times the t.-Waldo
F. Brown, in Tribune.

Lovable Mothers.

Somebody has said, cit is not what we
do for our children, but what we do with
them, which endears us to them" and OBJ
servation and experience prove the truth
of the assertion. AS rule, it is not the
most self-sacrifcing parents who reap the
richest harvest of love and DEVOTION
Said alaughing mother to her careworn
and overworked friend, 81 never sew my
children's buttons on the minute they
drop Off; let them go for day or two,
and when do put their clothes in order
their gratitudeis something good to see"
Her friend sighed; gratitude from her
children was something she had long since
ceased to expect Probably the speaker
had no thought that her remark would
be taken literally it was only her whim-
steal way of stating her disapproval of d
slavish subserviency on thepart of moth
ers; and surely her happy, unselish, low
ing children were bright witnesses to the
wisdom of her creed.
1t was my privilege, years ago, to be
intimately associated with a family
whose members we're strikingly happy in
their relations with one another. And
yet the housekeeping was far from per-
feet. The meals were on time or not as
suited the convenience Of the reigning do
mestic, and the children were often out
at the elbows and toes. The mother was
a great invalid, and passed days of pain
and weakness in her darkened chamber
but her hours of comparative comfort
were spent, not in darning or washing
windows, but in gay badinage with her
four boys, and in a joyous and eagerpar-
ticipation in their games and plans. And,
oh, how those boys loved their delicate
little mother! They hung about her
chair, kissing her hair and hands, and
vieing with one another in fulfilling her
wishes. So happy and free were their re-
lations that she could speak to them
with as little embarrassment of their re-
ligiOus life as of their sports and studies;
and SO, hand in hand they travelled heav-
onward.
