AUNT LIZA'S WARNING.
She Would Whip Her Josephus to Deatf
if He Came Home Drowned.

v
if He Came Home Drowned.
During this warm weather the small
boy delights to paddle in the water. Many
OF them sneak away from home to 90
swimming" as they term it, but in reality
only to paddle around in the water where
1t Is very shallow and have their backs
baked by the sun. Old Aunt Liza an aged
colored woman. had a batch Of pickan.
mines who delighted to paddle in water,
and as they often came home sick the
old woman was considerably annoyed at
their absence by entertaining fears for
their safety. Often did she hunt for them
when they had stayed away too long and
often did she fail to find them. When any
one asked her why she was so careful of
the children she would reply;
when dey 60 outen dem woods to de
branch Lors knows what's giving ter hap
pen. Some O them might get killed, an ;
dat would be a powerful lot Of trouble,
kase den Id halter git the undertaken, and
times are so hard jist now tnat couldn t
ford to pay him."
If she had an idea that any Of her tribe
wanted to go to the branch, she would
stop all her house work to watch, and Oft
en- she was successful in intercepting
them.
One day last week she surmised that
her youngsters We're going down to the
branch. So she laid aside her work and
proceeded to watch. Whether she was
too cautious or not, ner eldest boy found
her out and Immediately communicated
the fact to all his other brothers. Josephus
that Was his name-knew that it would
almost be impossible to elude his mother
while she was watching, so he determined
to get away by stragety. Accordingly, he
made one of his younger brothers go
around to the ehicken-house and veil
about weasel being In there This ruse
succeeded, and old aunt Lisa forgot about
everything except the safety of her chick
ems. She quickly found that there was
not weasel or any indication of one in
the chicken-house, and then it suddenly
occurred to her that she had been made
the victim of trick. fastening to the
ether side of the house she saw her dutiful
children rapidly disappearing over a dis
tant hill. Now thoroughly mad she ran
after them shouting:
You Josephus, you Josephus, you jist
come right back hyar. dye hyar' me-, but
Iosephus did not hear her or paid no at
tention to her words. She seeing that
her words had no effect upon them, she
again yelled threateningly:
You Josephus you come bone hyar
drowned and you'll see if | don't whip
you SO you'll feel it; deed you will feel it,
kase I'll whip you to death; just you see
if don't.

Hygenic Suggestions.

1t is a mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst
Very cool drinks, as a rule. increase the
feverish condition of the mouth and
stomach and SO create thirst. Experience
shows it to be fact that hot drinks re-
lieve the thirst and ''cool off, the body
when it is in an abnormally heated con-
conition better than ice cold drinks 1t is
far better and safer to avoid the free use
of drinks below so degrees; in fact, a
higher temerature is to be preferred; and
those who are troubled with thirst will do
well to try the advantages offered by hot
drinks, instead Of cold fluids to which they
have been accustomed. Hot drinks also
have the advantage of aiding digestion,
instead of causing Cebility of the stomach
and bowels.
A warm salt bath is very refreshing to
any one suffering from exhaustion of travel
or of a long shopping expedition-which
Is ing to mind and body as anything
that can be undertaken by a woman.
Away from the seashore a very simple
substi ute is cup of rock salt dissolved in
warn ter and added to the bath. When
the sal .ritating to the skin, take
warm oath and sponge off with a mixture
OF violet or lavender water and alcohol,
about half and half, and rub briskIy with
a warm friction towel. Such a method
prevents exhaustion and danger of cold
which follow warm bath.

SEED POTATOES.
Method to Increase Yield and Prevent
Deterioration.

A subscriber at Camp Douglas, Wis,
writes Orange Judd Farmer: What |
am about to state in regard to seed pota-
toes will apply to all kinds and al! places
At the time Of harvesting potatoes in the
fall collect some of the small immature
ones, such as are either left on the ground
or fed to the hogs, and take good care Of
them through the winter. At planting
time in spring take these potatoes (some
Of them no bigger than hickory mutt
and cut into three or four sets | have
planted sets no larger than kernels of
corn. Don't plant more than two of these
small sets in a hill. They are slow to
come up, but keep them free from weeds
and bugs, and when you harvest them
save the largest and medium-sized ones,
mo small ones) for your seed the next year.
| have satisfied myself that by taking the
above course two things may be accom-
plished: 1t will add from one-fcurth to
one-third to the crop. and will prevent
what is commonly called running out or
deterioration. Furthermore. if you have
a kind (say for instance the Peach Blow
which is run out you can restore it by fol-
lowing the above course.

Partisan Observance of Sunday.

husband consents in a careless manner tC

comfort, which he does rot consider to
have much effect. Afternoon is their op-

themselves In a hired victoria, one of them

TIE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
MARY LOWE DICKINSON.

We should fill the hours with the sweetest things,
If we had but day;
We should drink alone at the purest springs
In our upward way
We should love with life-time's love in an hour,
If the hours were few;
We should rest, not for dreams, but for fresher
power
To be and to do
We should guide our hayward and weary wills
BY the clearest light:
We should keep our eyes on the heavenly hills
If they lay in sight.
We should trample the pride and discomfort
Beneath our feet;
We should take whatever good God sent,
With trust complete.
We should waste no moments in weak regret,
If the day were but one,
II what we remember and what we forget
Went out with the sun.
We should be from clamorous selves set free,
To work or to pray,
And to be what the Father would have us be,
If we had but day.

CHARITY.

We weave life's shadows into thought.
We toll and watch and pray,
And with our natures overweight,
Expect Gods judgment day.
While heaven grinds our thoughts to dust,
To force, and finest air,
Lest into grooves of rot and rust
We loose our image fair.
We build our temples till they touch
The rays of distant stars,
And dream Gods angels will, by such,
Heal all the nations scars.
But angels, now as in the day
When angels came of old.
Like lightnings with their Babels play
And nOurish hearts of gold
Wouldst sit at His right hand, dear friend,
And watch the ceaseless sea.
OF glory at His feet contend
In deathless charity.
