FRU1r.pREsERNrNe DAYS.

These are fruit-preserying days. The
woman into whose nature was grated a
Wholesome amount of housewifely thrift
remem bers the long rows of fruit cans
which adorned the shelves of her mothers
closet. Nothing in the universe call out
in her the veneration she entertains for
homemade jam and Jelly. She considers
its manufacture necessary and asasing. Is
it necessary? And is it a saving?
Nine times out of ten she worries over
the fruit and steams over the kettle, and
strains her back and her temper and uses
mp with most reckless extravaganza the
store of nervous force of which she has
only too little in these sweltering dog
days.
At night she is too tired to walk, too
tired to eat, too tired to take an interest
in her children's play, too tired to walk in
the twilight with her husband, too tired to
do anything but to point to the bottles,
which the masculine part of the family
honestly tries to admire, though it breads
the jam season almost as much as tina of
bouseeleaning.

Anew PRACTICAL HINTS.

To remove q rusty screw place a red-hot
Iron to the head for a short time, and use
the screw driver while the screw is hot.
The chair should be well drawn up to
the table. Sit easily in it. Do not lean
your body against the table or rest your
elbows upon it.
To clean gloves wash them in . little
benzine. rubbing and squeezing them
until clean. II much soiled use a flesh
supply of benzine. Hang up in the air to
dry.
To clean tinware apply common soda
with a moistened newspaper and rub with
a dry piece. The tinware will lock
like new after this treatment.
Parsley eaten with vinegar viii remove
the unpleasant effect of eating onions.
Next to expeetoration the bowl of tooth
picks which appears on every American
table is our national disgrace. People
ought to clean their teeth, but not in pub
lie. because il is not an inviting exhibition.

"Teamster Jim."

1t amt Jest the story, parson, to tell in a crowd
like this.
Weth the virtuous matron a-frownin' an
chidin' the gfgglin' miss,
An the good old deacon a-noddin' in time weth
his patient SHORES,
An the shocked aleet of the capital stalkin'
away through the doors.
But then it's a story that happened, an every
word Of it's true,
An sometimes we can't help talkin' of the
things that We sometimes do,
AM though good society coldly shets its doors
onto ''Teamster Jim,n
In hinkin' there's lots worse people thet's
better known than him..
1 mind the day he was married, and / danced
at the weddin' too,
An I kissed the bride, sweet Maggie, daughter
of Ben McGrew.
/ mind how they set up housekeepin', two
young, poor, happy fools,
When Jim's only stock was a heavy truck an
four Kentucky mules.
Well, they lived along contented, weth their
little joys an cares,
An every year a baby come. an twice they
come in pairs.
Till the house was full of children, weth their
shoutin' and playin' Ind squalls,
An their singin' and laughin' an eryin' made
bedlam wethin its walls.
An Jim, he seemed to like it, an he spent all
his ~evenin's at home;
He said it was full of music an light an peace
from pit to dome.
He Joined the church, an he used to pray that
his heart might be kept from sin
The stumblinfest prayin', but heads and hearts
used to bow when he'd begin.
So they lived along in that way, the same from
day to day,
With r1apty of time for drfvin, work and q lit
tie time for play,
An CROWN around 'em the sweetest girls and
the ~liyeliest, manifest boys,
Till the old gray heads of the two old folks was
crowned with the homeliest joys.
Eli? Come to my story2 Well, that's all.
They're Twin just like I said,
Only two Of the girls is married, an one of the
boys is dead,
An they're honest an decent an happy, an,
the very best Christians / know,
Though l reckon in brilliant comp'ny they'd be
voted q leetle slow.
Oh, you're pressed for time! Excuse you?
Sure, I'm sorry l kept you SO long.
Goodby. Now, he looked kind o. bored-like,
an I reckon that l was wrong
To tell sech a commonplace story of two sech
commonplace lives,
But we can't all git drunk an gamble an fight,
an run off with other mems wives.

Once, indeed, Weston was aroused when
it was rumored hat a fallen woman. who
wished to escape from her evil life, had
fof several days been sheltered at Mrs.
Wilford's home. People said Indignantly
that really Mrs. Milford carried things to
excess, and asked what would become of
the safeguards of society if every one fol-
lowed her example. But before the calm
candor of Louise Wilford's gray eyes, and
in the presence of her womanly dignity.
eTen i'll Hatured gossip was fam to lay its
finger on its lips. And after a time Weston
came to think and to say indulgently that
Mrs. Milford was really different from
other people, and could do hat no one else
would think ofdoing.
The full history Of the house on Seventh
street has never been written. No record
has been kept of the tempted boys who
have found at Mrs. Wilford's an attraction
that was a safeguard to their upwary feet;
Of the homesisk girls who have there for

ERECTING a thorough cure. Several iu-
stances in which this suggestion Was acted
upon with ~strikingly favorable results
have come to the know ledge ofthe Tribune.
Ordinary grated horse radish, eaten at
frequent intervals during the day and m
connection with food at the table, il food

eficacious In hanishing the distressing
congh that frequently fingers after all the
other sy mptous Of the grip have gone.

A Contrast.

He loved her, having felt his love begin
With that first look, as lover oft AYERS.
He made pale flowers his pleading messen-
gers,
Impressed sweet music, drew the springtime
in
To serve his snit; but when he could not win,
Forgot her face and those gray eyes of hers.
And at her name his pulse no longer stirs,
And life goes on as though she had not been.
She never loved him, but she loved Love SO,
So reverenced Love, that all her being shook
AT his demand, whose entrance she denied.
Her thoughts of him such tender color took
As western skies that keep the afterglow.
The words he spoke were with herti ill she died.

There is no vacant chair. TIL loving meet
A group unbroken-smitten. Who knows
how?
One sitteth silent only. In his usual seat
We gave him once that freedom Why not
now?
Perhaps he is too weary and needs rest.
He needed it too often, nor could we
Bestow. God gave il, knowing how to do so
best.
Which of US would disturb him? Let him be.
There is no vacant chair. If he will take
The mood to listen mutely, be it done.
By his least mood we crossed, for which the
heart must ache.
Plead snot nor question: Let him have this
ono.
Death is a mood of life. 1t is no whim
By which life's Oliver moeks a broken heart.
Death is life's r~eticence. Still audible to him
The flushed voice, happy, speaketh on, apart
There is no vacant chair. To love is still
To have. Nearer to memory than to eye.
And dearer yet to anguish than to comfort, viii
We hold him by our love, that shall not die.
For while it doth not, then he cannot. Try!
Who can put out the motion or the smile!
The old ways of being noble all with him laid
by?
Because We love he is. Then trust awhile
