Couldn,t Pass the Note,


Mr.. Casilear told how he happened te
be in New York at one time during the
war looking out for gang of counter
feiters. To avoid making his presence
in the city conspicuous he put up at a
second rate hotel, where he was un-
known. For some purpose he handed to
the clerk at the desk brand new fifty
cent note. 1t was an issue just out, with
General Spinner's portrait on it, the like
ness having been substituted for a pic
ture of Justice with her scales, which
the forgers had initiated very success
fully.
The clerk looked at the note with evi-
dent suspicion, and handed it back.
81 never saw anything like that be-
FORE" he said
"It is good, I assure you," replied Mr..
Casilear.

good, because made it myself"
The clerk smiled sardonically.
''That is just what occurred to me, -
he said; therefore refused to accept it. -

himself, SO he treated himself to bottle

felt relieved when the men had gone, for
he at least had his thoughts to himself
as long as he lived There was no one to

worry him and he calmly awaited the

A queen uncrowned, a saint In earthly guise
Within the clear depthso of her shining eyes
And on her pallid face-a r...iancy
That seems reflected from the crystal sea
Which stretches twixt our souls and Para

Some say that in her heart sorrow lies
Which contradicts her sweet tranquility.
A victor, no symbolic palm she bears;
Upon her face her triumph's sign she wears
A peace that showeth all her stainless soul.
Enthroned in hearts of erring and of good,
She reigns in royalty of womanhood,
Yet round her head there shines no aureolei

Upon a summers day,
A little lass trudged merrily
Along the public way.
And for the first time in her life
This happy peasant lass
Gazed on the world beyond her home
In yonder mountain pass.
With beaming face and happy song
She tripped on toward the town,
And reached the borough turnpike gate
Long ere the sun went down.
She gently tapped upon the gate.
Afraid to pass it by,
And waited patiently without
For some one to reply.
And when the good old gateman came,
With body long and lean,
She asked, pray, will you tell me, sir,
Am at Aberdeen?'
That's where you are, my bonny lass"
He answered with grin.

The Natives of Finland.

1t might be rash, perhaps, to assert
that among the criteria of nations
civilization security of life aud property
deserve prominent place, but 1t is GER
tainly quite safe to affirm that in no
European State, not even in Sweden and
Norway, is life and property so secure as
in Finland. The confident, matter-of-
fact way in which trunks, parcels and
portmanteaus are left for hours in the
public streets of cities without anyone to
look after them could not fail TO edify
an Englishman or belgian, whose port
able property often seems to disappear by
magic.
Finnish honesty is proverbial, says the
Saturday Review. In trade the Films,
as a rule, are not only scrupulously hon
est-they are heroically, quixotically so.
A tradcsman will tell you the whole truth
about his wares, even when he knows
perfectly we'll that by doing so he
loses customer whom the partial
truth, a slight suppression even, would
have secured him. "This seems exactly

had driven me for three hours though
the woods on his drosky, handing him
four shilings. "No, sir, that's double
my fare, ;" he replied, returning me half
the money. And when told him he
might keep it for his honesty, he slightly
nodded his thanks with the dignity Of
one of natures gentlemen, from which
defiant pride and cringing obsequious
ness were equally absent.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Hints to Bousekeepers.

To PREVENT layer cake from sticking.
grease the tins and dust In q little -four.
HARTsHoRN usually restores colors that
have been taken out by acids Of any
kind.
SALT sprinkled on any substance that
is burning on the stove will stop the
smoke and smell.
A LITTLE turpentine mixed with the
starch will give finer gloss TO shirt
bosoms, collars and cuffs.
HoT milk is a simple means of comfort,
and is most reviving to one who is fati-
gued by overexertion.
BY rubbing with flannel dipped In
whiting, the brown discoloration may be
taken off cups which have been used for
baking.
Disinfectants are useful possessions in
all households. Even the most sanitary
plumbing may need the occasional purifi-
cation of disinfectants.
IT 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 recommended.
A GERMAN prescription for preventing
cold-sores and boils from coming to a
head is to paint them FIVE or ten times
daily with equal parts of boracic acid and
water.
SPONGE carpets occasionally with hot
water in which either common salt or
powdered alum has been dissolved. This
not only brightens the carpet but pre-
vents moths.
LAY piece of thick Canton flannel
under your tablecloth. Even coarse
napery will look much better quality
with sub-cover than il spread directly
over the bare table top.
BY applying little of the best car
riage oil varnish carefully with camel's
hair brush to the edges OF broken china,
the parts being neatly Joined together,
the fracture will, when thoroughly dry,
be hardly perceptible, and the china will
stand fire and winter.
