The Home.

Nothing's gained by worrying,
By hurrying,
And scurrying,
With fretting and with hurrying
The temper's often lost;
And in pursuit of some small prize
We rush ahead and are not wise,
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost.
TITS better far to join the throng
That do their duty right along;
Reluctant they to make fuss,
Or make themselves ridiculous.
Calm and serene in heart and nerve,
Their strength is always in reserve,
And nobly stands each test;
And every day and all about,
By scenes within and scenes without,
We can discern with ne'er doubt,
That quiet ways are best.

Trotting Horses.

In breeding trotting horses the
most account is taken ofwhat o horse
has done as a sire. That is, has he
transmitted speed to his get, or from
his breeding may he expect to trans
NIT speed? A mile in two minutes
and 30 seconds is the standard, and
while there are several thousand
horses in this country to day that
can get right out on the road and do
a mile in this time or even better, yet
it must be considered fast mile, says
the New England Homestead. This
is shown from the fact that of the
thousands of trotting horses that are
bred every year, only a very small
per cent can do mile, in any shape
or form, in 2 80 or better. Trotting
stations are very numerous, but
those that have ten or more of their
get in the 2: 80 list are not picked up
every day. In Wallace's Monthly, a
correspondent presents table of the
horses that put five or more of their
get in the $3.50 list from the close of
1885 to the close of 1890. Just rs

um, 81; Blue Bull. So; Nutwood, A;
Almont, SO; and Strathmore, "a;
Daniel Lambert, 33; Belmont, 32;
and Harold, 30. Besides these, those
that had put 20 Tor more and less than

1890, are Volunteer, Onward, Red
Wilkes, Gov. Sprague, Egbert, Swig-

because it shows those horses that

wonderful record in the stud, and will

Eugene Fled at Home.

/ recently spent an hour with Eu-
pene Field at his home IN Chicago, IN
to which he had just moved. Few
authors know of have a more char
acteristic home than has the clever
western writer. Curiosities abound
on every hand books are everywhere.
Mr.. Field has a perfect mania for
unique things, whether in rare books,
postage stamps, coins, bric-a-brac,
or what not, and he indulges his fan
cies to the limit of his purse. "A
regular Junk shop, isn't it?" said the
poet, laughingly "Well, | pick up
these things. and my friends send me
a lot of stuff" and undoubtedly hls
friends sent him every conceivable
thing. His house is n veritable curl
osity shop, while the man himself Is
good nature and jollity personitied.
He is generous in his friendships, and
holds all who come i'm contact with
him. There is nothing affected about
him: he is Eugene Field all the time,
and those who have met him never
forget him. He counts his friends by
the hundreds. His home-life is "A hap
DIV one, and he lives the husband and
father. "Now Mr.. Field will write
one stanza of n poem" he said TO me
land now Mr.. Field will go down eel
lar and chop wood, and come up and
build a fire. Unfortunately, tins
clever man is an acute dyspeptic SUI
ferer, who makes you wonder all the
more how he can write so much, al
ways so well, and be never anything
but one of the most clever writer's in
America TODAY.

The Oatmeal King.

No one who has eaten his dish of
oatmeal for breakfast can fail to be
interested in Fredrick Schumacher of
Akron. Ohio, the great oatmeal trust
magnate. A commercial man who
meets Mr.. Schumacher frequently
says he never saw an odder little
man. He's a German about sixty
years old, and about as big as a
grssshopper and just as lively, writes
the most vigorous English, hates
whisky and beer as he does a liar
and works sixteen hours a day. He
came to this country as poor as a
church mouse, started littlegrocery
and beer saloon, ran that a while and
then began making oatmeal by
hand-mill in his woodshed Finally
he sold his saloon, peddled oatmeal
and farina from a hand-cart which he
wheeled about town himself, and in
thirty years built up the largest fac
tory of that kind in the world. He
won't hire a man in any capacity
who drinks whisky or even beer, and
has about him several hundred en-
ployes, who are mostly Germans,
and, strange to say, Jealous of pro-
hlbitionists like many a workman
who was master of a new process.
This man came under a two-years
contract at large salary, his expen-
ses being guaranteed. The second
day after he began work Schumacher
learned that he was a beer-drinker.
In two hours the workman left the
mills, never to return, and with a
check for $4,000 in his pocket. This
was the price Schumacher had paid |
for upholding his principles and en-
forcing his rules to the very letter.

Valuable Household Hints.

Pieces of licorice laid around where
ants run is recommended.
Take iron stains from marble with
lemon-iuice or mixture of spirits of
wine and oxalic acid.
Meringues should be put on pud-
dings after they are slightly cool, as,
if the pudding be hot, the eggs will
liquefy.
Old newspapers torn in small pieces
and wet in water softened by the ad-
dition of little ammonia, are excel
lent to wash lamp-chimneys.
To remove scratches and bruises
from furniture, rub them gently with
a fresh walnut, butternut or hickory
nut kernel, and they will disappear
as if by magic.
To remove the unsightly marks
caused by drippings from the faucets
in marble basins, or in the water
closet bowl, nothing equals pulver-
lied chalk, moistened with n few
drops of ammonia. Apply with an
old toothbrush and they quickly dis
appear.
Steamed dumplings, with stewed
chicken or veals are an acquisition.
Cook both these meats until nearly
done, then make the dumplings like
baking powder biscuits; pour all but
a little of the water from the meats
into another vessel for gravy, and
put the dumpllngs in the pot on the
meat so they will not touch the water
and cook until all the water is boiled
away.
In cooking vegetables, always re-
member that boiling water evapo-
rates rapidly on the approach of a
storm or when it is raining.-Ladies'
Home journal.

NEW EVERY DAY,

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new.
You who are weary of sorrow and shining
Here is a beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and
bled,
Are healed with the healing which night has
shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever
Bound up in a sheaf, which God holds tight,
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days,
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and
their blight,
Their fuIlness of sunshine or sorrowful
night.
Let them go. since we cannot re-live them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy receive, forgive them!
Only the new days are our OWL;
To-day is ours, and to-aay alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun and to share with the morn
In the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn.
Every day is fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And, spite of old sorrow and old singing,
And puzzle fOrecasted and possibly pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again.
