Don't shut up your house lest the sun
should fade your carpets, nor your heart
lest a merry laugh should shake down some
of the musty old cobwebs there. If you
want to ruin your sons, let them think that
all mrth and social enjoyment must be left
on the threshold without when they come
home at night.
When once home is regarded as only a
place to eat drink and sleep in, the work
has begun that ends in disappointment.
Young people must have fun and relaXa-
ton somewhere. If they don't find it at
their own hearthstone it will be sought at
other and less profitable places.
Therefore let the fire burn briskly at
night, and make the homestead delightful
with all those little arts that parents so per
fectly understand.
Don't repress the buoyant spirit of youl
children. Half an hour of merrimeni
around the freight of a home blots out
many a care and annoyance during the day
and the best safeguard they can take witt
them into the world is the unseen influence
of a bright little domestic circle.
Put home first and foremost, for there
will come a time when the home circle viii
be broken, when you will
Long for the touch of a vanished hand
And the sound Of a voice that is still,
and when your greatest pleasure will be il
remembering that you did all in your pow
er to put song under every burden, t.
make each other happy.

Cheerful Kitchens.

l often wonder why we don't take more
pains to make our kitchens cheerful and
pleasant, when, if not ourselves, some one
must spend the greater part of her time
there. a bare, poorly lighted and venti-
lated kitchen, which is only suggestive of
the hard work to be done there, is not a
good place to tempt our girls to learn the
mysteries of cooking. 1t is just as true
that pleasant surroundings, cheerful, pleas
ant places in which to work, make the
work seem less burdensOme and help us to
keep cheerful hearts and faces as that dis
NAL, dreary surroundings make dreary
lives. The fact cannot be denied that
every one is more or less influenced by his
surroundings.
After the kitchen is made as pleasant a
room as may be inside, look after the
back yard, that the view from its window
may be pleasant. Plant vines to run over
the windows, and have flower beds near at
hand. They will afford you much more
pleasure there than if they are all in the
front ward. | shall never forget the first
summer that kept house. My kitchen
had front door and back door. As did
not care to use the front door, | had the
steps taken away and planted morning
glory vines there, which soon covered the
doorway, and all the morning the delicate
pink, white and blue blossoms helped me
with my work. Near a back window had
a flower bed where verbenas, phloN, bal
sans, ETC., fourished, and cheered me with
their sweet presence. BY all means, have
flowers around the kitchen.
Have an easy chair by the window with
a rug in front of it and foot rest, so that
you can drop down for few minutes rest
which you would not take if Obliged to go
to another room.
If you are just commencing house-keep-
ing, try this plan. Have little less in the
parlor and make the kitchen convenient
and pleasant If you have kept house and
worked in dreary kitchens year after year,
try it, and see if it does not pay. We
should aim to get all the brightness and
pleasure out of life possible. TO do the
work of life we'll it must not be allowed to
| degenerate into drudgery, and nothing will
do more to prevent this than to give the
! work cheerful and bright surroundings.

RountinI Crops I'm NInine.

The August crop bulletin issued by the
Maine board of agriculture gives an eXhib-
it which must make the farmers of the
state happy. The potato crop is bounti-
full one, without exception, and is the larg-
est ever produced in the state in a single
year. In the great potato producing con-
ty of Aroostook the crop is 33 per cent
above that of last year and last years crop
was much the largest ever grown in the
county. The quality of the yield is per-
feet and in every way satisfactory. The
growth of corn has been heavy, but the
crop is slightly later than the average and
one or two weeks more of favorable wealth
er is required to place it in full ripeness
and beyond the reach of frost. 1t is %
per cent above the average. The promise
of the crop is 80 per cent better than last
year and 10per cent better than the aver
age. Grain is a bountiful crop throughout
the state without distinction of kind or To-
cality. Apples are not a full crop, but will
show up well when the harvest is gathered.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1891-09-11

At no period can seed corn be selected
better than now, as you can observe the
growth of the stalks, their prolficacy, the
nature of the soil on which the corn is
grown, and make many other comparisons
that could not be made after harvest. All
eXperimenters who have made improve
ments i'm the yield of corn have been most
successful by selection of the seed while
the crop is growing.
Before storing fruit, potatoes or other
crops in the cellar, have it thoroughly
cleaned, whitewashed and put in the best
condition, as the temperature, moisture and
condition of the cellar largely affect its
keeping qualities. An excellent and cheap
mode of disinfecting the cellar is to close
it tightly and burn sulphur therein, venti-
lating the cellar well after using the sui
phur.
After haying, more or less stones will be
brought to the surface by the wire rake.
These should be carefully gathered and re-
moved, as on most meadows this will be
easier than to roll them down next spring.

The New England society's bulletin
characterizes the August weather as above
the normal in temperature and relative hui
midity and below the normal in precipita-
tion and amount of sunshine. 1t will be
a surprise to most people to know that rec
ord shows the precipitation to have been
very nearly one inch below the normal,
notwithstanding the large number of rainy
days, excessive cloudiness and high rela-
tive humidity. The greatest amount of
rain fell in western New England and the
least in the southeast. These exports are
given from Vermont reports: Burlington

THE HOUSEHOLD.


Cradle Song.
Baby. let us both go sailing
In our fairy bark away,
With its silken wings outspreading,
To the country Of Cathay.
Let the two Of us make voyage
Where in other days have gone
Men and babies dolts and sages,
All in quest of Prester John.
Baby, let us both 90 sailing
To the Persian land away,
There to visit rosy gardens
AT the dawning Of the day.
As the sun begins its journey
Wen begin the pleasing tramp,
Seeking Aladdin, the lucky,
And his Genius of the Lamp.
Baby, let us both go sailing
Where the calm Pacific lies,
With its sweep of deep blue surface
Spread before our eager eyes
Let us leave its shores that gladden.
With their palm.trees, fruits and flowers,
Till we come to Crusoe's island
BY this fairy bark of ours.
Baby, let us both 90 sailing
Stormy seas Arabian DER,
Till we find where Sindbad's valley
Has Of diamonds countless store;
Then, with gems Of priceless value,
Joyfully returning here,
Some shall shine on baby's trinkets,
Some shall deck its mother dear.
Baby, let us all go sailing
Sailing to the land afar,
Where amid the four.leaved shamrocks
Dancing nimbly fairies are.
Let us at their mirthful revel
Take sly and curious peep
All! the rogue has sailed without me,
Sailed and found the Land of Sleep.
Baby by himself is sailing
In a shallop built Of dreams,
Over lakes with blossoms circled,
Through the friths of placid streams.
Crowned with peoples, robed with silence,
In his bark reclDed at ease,
Who may know how far he wandersS
Who may tell what sights he sees?

Serious Charges Against Hattie

Sensational Developments Dur
ing the Examination of
Louis Armand

CHICAGO, March ia new chapter In
the troubles of the Smell family was un-
folded today, which may rival the mys-
terry of the murder Of millionaire Smell
and the disappearance Of Tascott. A few
days ago Hattie Juerst, nurse girl en-
ployed in the family OF Albert j. Smell,
was arrested and charged by her employer
with larceny.
1t now seems that the son Of the dead
millionaire had placed two private detec-
tives in his family. He did not do this
merely to ascertain whether or not Hattie
Juerst had stolen a few valuables, but TO
discover the causeof the strange illness Of
Mrs Smell.
For some weeks past Mrs. SMELLS health
has been failing very rapidly. Finally It
was noticed a tonic she was taking was
having a bad effect. one day she found
in the bottom Of the bottle white scdi-
ment, which her physician said was not
part Of the tonic. Then wine was subSti-
tuted fo- the tonic but the same bad cf-
iects followed and the doctor told Smell
his wife was being poisoned An eXaml-
nation disclosed the presence In the wine
Of the same Kind OF powder that had been
found in the tonic.
Detectives were employed and Hattie
Jucrsts arrest on the larceny charge fol-
lowed. In her trunk was found 800 worth
of Mrs. SHELLS property and vial Of
white powder apparently Identical with
that found in the tonic and wine bottles
The powder has been submitted to "A

KAISER WILLIAM INSANE
The Failure of Empress Fred
erick's Visit to Paris
the Cause
His Condition Watched With
Anxiety and Alarm by
the People
Chancellor Caprivi Summoned
Twice to the Palace at
MID ~ ,uht

BERLIN March 19-Various reports are
current about the mental condition Of the
emperor. As 1t would be a criminal Of
fense to say anything openly on the sub
ject, the expressions are ambiguous or the
meaning is conveyed by winks and silence.
Certain IL is however, that the emperor's
mental peculiarities will be the subject
Of the gravcSt apprehensions and that he
is being observed with anxiety by his own
servants, and with watchful curiosity by
the representatives of foreign states.
These peculiarities have taken their
alarming form Of development since the
failure Of Empress Frederick'S visit to
Paris. Before that when things went
smoothly the emperor was demonstrative
and arrogant, but no more 50 than was to
be expected in young man suddenly ele-
waited to imperial power.
In the face Of disappointment he has
become irritable and more than eccentric
In manner. 1t is stated that he has twice
summoned Caprivi to the the palace after
midnight without any conceivable emer-
gency and that he has alarmed the palace
guard by his sudden appearance in full
uniform at times when he was supposed
to be in bed
His views on public questions have lost
what little conference they had, and at
one time he denOunces the conservative
and at another the social democrats. As
emperor he has 1t in his power to involve
the nation In war, and IL is rumOred I'm
Berlin that Count ShOuValOH has stated
since his return to Russia that the CON
duct OF the emperor should be weighed
only as that of an irresponsible person.
