Singing in tho village Choir.

Those were happy days in Squankum,
With its church on the messy hill,
Its gently fiowin' crystal brook
That spun tn wheel beside tn mill,
Maxim sweetest kind o. music
An never stoppin' night or morn.
But ground and ground and ground and

TIL crops o. gold grain an corn.
But used to long for Sunday,
Happiest day in all the week,
For then i took tn sorrel horse
An brushed his coat up nice and sleek;

When tn preacher finished preachin'
Bill, he'd make tn organ roll
With most inspirin' melody

Why tn choir split up In row.
It seems that Bill, he got jealous

That loved her as few men do.
But Sue didn't want no trouble,

An heard Sue sing: ''Down Went McGIn-

why Butter Does Not Keep.

In reply to q letter from q cor
respondent the American Agriculture
list gives advice to prevent butter from
fading and losing Its quality, but as it
was not informed how the milk was
set, the cream cared for. how long the
cream remains unchurned. etc.. its
answer cannot be very definite.
1t cannot be the feed. as butter color
Is used; so the butter fading must be
looked for elsewhere. II the butter is
packed in small crooks. the glazing Of
the latter may have been imperfect
and the porous material OF the crock
absorbed the. finer oils OF the butter,
and color along with 1t, and so. bleach

crock. That the butter gets "salvey"
would indicate that the temperature

extremes. hot and cold, alternating.

Household sugg cations.

Household Suggestions.
One tablespoonful OF liquid makes
one-half ounce.
Jelly bags should ne made Of fannel
and pudding bags OF linen.
Do not put soap In the water with
which you clean amirror; 1t Is almost
impossible to polish the glass II soap
Is used
A paragraph In the New England
Farmer points out that n tablespoonful
of kerosene added to the soap and
water which floors are washed will
greatly help in making them c'ean and
leave the paint fresh and bright There
will also be considerable saving OF
soap.
Jelly made OF green grapes is good
foundation for any other kind, using
enough lemon peel or peach, ounce or
orange juice to give 1t a flavor. Rhu-
barb used when it jellies best will
answer the same purpose. 1t is worth
knowing this in seasons when fruit is
scarce, as at present
Having discovered large white
stain on a black walnut table. / was
greatly pleased to find that it could be
removed by the application OF spirits
OF camphor. This should be followed
as soon Us dry by a brisk rubbing with
flannel cloth on which there is q
small quantity OF good oil.
To wash fancy hosiery dissolve some
borax in the water q teaspoonful to
two quarts. soak the goods in this hall
an hour or more, then add soap to the
water till good suds Is made. Rub out
the hose. rinse in two waters and dry.
Fancy silk handkerchiefs and neckties
may be washed in the same way.
To take grease spots from carpets.
take two ounces aqua ammonia. two
ounces white CASTLE soap, one ounce
glycerine, one ounce ether. Cut the
soap fine, dissolve In one pint OF water
over the fire. add two quarts Of water
and the other ingredients. For remov-
ing spots use IA sponge or clean flannel
cloth saturated with tho mixture to an
ordinary sized pail Of water.

Superintendent Weber OF the barge
office. New York, received letters from
Keokuk. Ia, and Fort Gaines. Neb.,
saying that. there was famine OF do
mestic servants in those towns. Cooks
were only half crop, chambermaids
were a total failure, and there was a
deplorable- scarcity OF maids-of-all-
work. Ladies who belong to the Four
Hundred in Keokuk were doing their
own cooking. In Fort Gaines ladies
OF the highest society did their own
sweeping and busting. The mayor Of
Fort Gaines got up at O'clock in the
morning and built the fire. The may
or's wife arose at and made griddle
cakes for breakfast. The mayors
daughter waited on the breakfast Ia

The scarcity OF servants in KeokulS
has made social entertainments almost
impossible. Only few weeks ago a
lady belonging to one of the Oldest
families in Iowa, who was giving a
fashionable reception, had to ask her
guests to excuse her while she went
in TO freeze ice cream. The letter
concluded by saying that Keokul;
wanted 100 domestic servants at once,
and Fort Gaines wanted fifty more
without delay. The most hattering
terms were offered to induce emigrants
to come from tho barge Office to Keo
kuk and Fort Gaines.

Ose Wow OF Marriage.

Whether a business woman be
manageable or not, 1t Is certain that
she does not make business of get
ting married. Occupied with other
cares. matrimony is to her an inci-
dent not the aim. OF her existence.
The advent OF women, however, into
business life has opened.to both men
and women opportunities for contract
ing suitable marriages which are Of
fered in no other way, Instead OF q
few hours association under the gas
light, when the conventionalities OF So
ciety lend an artificial charm to one and
hide the sterling worth OF another,
men and women by daily association
learn to know and to judge each other
by truthful standards. While the society
girl will often pass by perhaps awk-
ward but intelligent and most worthy
man and bestow her sweetest smiles
on dancing dude, the bright-eyed,
discriminating business woman con-
signs the brainless creature to his
proper sphere and honors the man to
whom honor is due.
ION the other hand. man who
perhaps might be an easy prey for a
worthless beauty has in business life
an opportunity to study day by day
the woman who works by his side, and
to not only discover her faults, but to
recognize her virtues. Hundreds OF
the noblest and best men never marry,
because they do not have the oppor-
tunity to enjoy without restraint the
society Of women. To such as these
the bright, methodical. systematic
woman Is boon. The affection that
he may acquire for her is based not
on fascination, but on esteem. How
can he fail to respect woman who Is
capable earning nearly II not quite as
much as himself, and who, he finds,
can. be quite as charming as she
whose life Is devoted to the pursuit Of
husbandp"

Women In Russia.

Among the middle or lower orders
OF Russian society the model wife is
she whose good conduct and slavish
obedience to the will or whims of her
husband gives him no excuse to lift
hand or rod against her, and who
never beats her husband when he Is
drunk. Wives beating their husbands
is, however recognized phase of
Russian social life. Among the cheap
chromos that adorn the walls of viii
lage tea houses and trakters, one OF
the most familiar scenes Is drunken
moujik on the ground and his wife
beating him in no gingerly manner.
The merchants wife and daughters
still keep. out OF sight in accordance
with Oriental custom. when male
friends call on the husband. and when
they go shopping the husband and ia
Their goes with them. assists them with
their bargains and pays the bills.
The merchants wife paints her cheeks
and is very fond Of bright-colored
clothes. You often see them arrayed
from head to foot in garish red. She
spends the greater part OF her time in
drinking tea, smoking cigarettes and
gossiping with visiting friends. There
is saying that "a merchants wife
can drink a whole samovar OF tea"
Her mental abilities are held In light
esteem by her spouse and his friends,
who. though keen merchants, are, for
the most part, men OF scant edu-
cation. They will tell you that "a
woman has long hair, but short
mind that she is child Of the
devil and that. when you fall in
love with her you fall in love with the
evil one. 1t Is considered. bad luck

churches neither women nor dogsh
are allowed to penetrate the inner

The Young women OF To-Day.

1t is not enough. that tho young wo-
men of to-day shall be what their
mothers are, or were, writes a lad y.
They must be more. The spirit OF
the times calls on women for higher
order OF things. and the requirements
OF the women OF the future will be
great. must not be misconstrued
into saying that the future woman
will be one OF mind rather than Of
heart. Power of mind in itself no
more makes woman than does
wealth, beauty OF person, or social
station. But clear intellect, we'll
trained mind. adorns woman, just
as an ivy will adorn a splendid oak; a
true woman has power, something
peculiarly her own. in her moral in
fluence, which. when duly developed,
makes her queen over wide realm OF
spirit. But this she can possess only
as her powers are cultivated. Guilt
waited women yield the scepter OF au-
thority over the world at large.
Wherever cultivated women dwells,
be sure there you will find refinement,
moral power and life in its highest
form. For q woman to be cultivated
she must begin early; the days Of
girlhood are transitory and fast-aeet-
ing, and girls are women before we
know it, in these rapid times. Every
girl has a certain station to occupy in
this life, some one place to fill, and
often she makes her own station by
her capacity to create and fill it. The
beginning influences the end.
