And tho nerdlcs that I've threaded, no, you

And I've hunted for the glasses Till thought
my head was splitting
When there upon her forehead as calm rs
clocks they lny.
I've read 10 her I'll was hoarsc, the Psalms
and the Epistles.
When the other boys were burning tar bar
rcls down the street;
And I've stayed and learned my verses when
heard their willow whistles,
And I've stayed and said my chapter with
fire In both my feet
But, there always Is peppermint or penny
In her pocket:
There never was pocket that was half SO
big aud deep;
And she let's the candle In my room burn 20
tho very socket.
While she stcws and puttcrs round about
till am sound asleep.
And when I've been In swimming al flor fathers
said shouldn't,
And mother has her slipper OF according to
the rule;
II sounds as sweet as silver. the voice that
says, II wouldn't;
The boy that won't 20 swimming such day
would be IA fooli"
sometimes there's something in her voice ne II
she gave a blessing.
And look ut her "a moment and keep still
as a mouse;
And who she is by this time there is no need
of guessing:
For there's nothing like a grandmother To
have about the house!

Hints to Housekeepers.

Tallow. applied warm, will soften
and finally cure corrs and bunions.
Apples will not freeze II covered
with a linen cloth, nor a pie or Gus
tard burn II in the oven with dish Of
water.
Purify clothes that have been kept
from the air by laying pieces of char
coal wrapped in paper) In the folds.
Try the open air first.
To preserve apples, spread them on
a grating. but not in contact with
each other, as one bad apple will spoil
the others by starting decay.
Constipation may be relieved il a
cupful OF hot water, In which n tea
spoonful OF salt has been dissolved, Is
taken every morning before breakfast
IL Is said that to drink sweet milk
after eating onions will purify the
breath so that no odor will remain. A
cupful OF strong coffee is also recon-
mended.
Two apples kept In the cake box
will cause moderately rich cake TO re-
main moist for great length OF time,
II the apples are renewed when
withered.
Turpentine and black varnish is the
backing used by hardware dealers
for protecting stoves from rust. II
put on properly 1t will last through
the season.
The best way when hot grease has
been spilled on the floor is to dash
