Old Age.

The old should be treated with the
greatest tenderness and the kindiiest
courtesy by the young; in fact, with
gentle reverence which will do much to
make them contented with their lot,
ard tend to dissipate that sense of loss
and loneliness which will steal into the
hearts Ct ev-n The happiest. The old
may be surrounded by their children
and grandchildren, their dearest now,
but still be lonely, for the companions
Of their youth are mostly gone, and new
times and new interests fail to repay
them for what has gone. The cd, for
these reasons, and because of their
limited pleasures, should be encouraged
and please and entertained. A writer
of some twenty years back has beauti-
fully expressed the condition of old age,
writing of the old as follows: "The
world has slid from under them, and
they stand far out, as it were, on mar
row neck of land between this world
and the next, from which they hear
strange sounds coming to them from the
moving mass of beings of whom they
are soon to take leave. Most of their
companions with whom they started out
on life's journey have, one by one,
dropped away from their side, and the
younger and stirring multitudes who
have come after them are moved by
new and to them strange thoughts and
aspirations. Manners, speech, dress,
modes of busincss-all have change d.

loneliness and desolation should steal

How Harrison Writes His Messages.

Pre- sidcnt Harrison is busily engaged
writing his message to congress, and
expects to have about all of the hardest
work done within couple of weeks.
He writes cut his ideas the moment
they enter his mind. He keers scratch
paper in small tablets on his desk and
on the tables about the White House,
and whenever ideas strike him he pulls
out pencil and writes them out in
full. These rough drafts he sticks on
a copy-hook on his working-desk, and
thus his message accumuates, para
graph by paragraph, subject by sub
ject. When the time draws near for
the final preparation of the me- sage he
takes his great pile of pages from their
hook, Classics them, we'ds them
togo ther in connected form, and passes
the m over to bis typewriter. The copy
that is returned to him is revised, and
then ano her copy is made for the
riuter. In This manner the message
is fran ed by easy stages, as it were,
and the preside Mt docs not feel the
burden of its composition. He has
been engaged upon II at odd moments
ever since he returned from his West
ern trip. He does not wait until cen
gress is almost at hand and then sit
down to the task of composing docu-
ment that generally consists of from
$4,000 to 20 600 words. Washington

A Model PRAYER.

A family consisting of father and
his three sors, by the name of Beaver,
hard "ptts," had often laughed to
scorn pious though eccentric minister.
One of the boys was bitten by rattle
snake, and was expected to die, when
he minister was sent for. He found
the young man very penitent. The
minister, calling on The family, kneeled
down and prayed in this wise: go
Lord, we thank thee for the rattle
snakes. We thank thee because a rat
tlesnake has bitten Jim. We pray thee
send ratlesnake to bite John; send
one to bite Bill; and, o Lord, send the
biggest kind of a rattlesnake to bite the
old man; for nothing but rattlesnakes
will ever bring the Beaver family to re-

with silk of some delicate color, and
the outside covered with frill of silk
with lace ever it with loops of ribbon
falling over at intervals. Ribbons are
tied around the handles, and at the top
is ring also decorated with ribbon and

Cranberry Sauce.

Almost everybody likes cranberry
sauce, but only about one in twenty
knows how to properly make it so as to
bring out its full righteousness. 1t is
usually made to the taste " without
measurement. Here is a simple rule
which insures good sauce every time.
Use water, sugar and cranberries in the
proportion spectively, of one, two and
three parts, or if it is preferred more
acid, one, two and four. Boil for
twenty minutes. This does not need
to be strained, as it will be of jelly.

A Faded Leaf.
by MISS Z. NJ. HA1NEs.

A faded leaf, thy beauty gone
No hope of life at coming dawn
within thy shriveled veins to flow.
No touch of sunsets after-glow.
A piece within the patchwork spread
That Autumn lays on Summers bed;
A whispered sigh breathed from the tree
That scattered gold promiscuously.
Thy gay companions by thy side
Have dropped their weary heads and died.
Their merry fiutter all is DER.
with folded wings they rise no more.
The breeze that rocked thee to and fro,
The tree that gave thee strength to grow,
The sun that tended thee with care,
The rain that cleansed and made thee fair,
The birds that hid beneath thy shade
The tiny nest their skill had made,
Where twitt'ring babies nestled high
And spread their growing wings to fly
Have cast thee off without tear,
And left thee broken hearted here
Unloved, uncared for in thy grief
A poor, forsaken, withered leaf
The autumn winds above thee blow;
soon thOu Snalt lie beneath the snow
And diadems shall crown thy brow
That's shorn of all its beauty now.
Thy work is done. why should we grieve2
We all our work must sometime leave.
This life shall lose its hold of EARTH
Dried be its tears and hushed its mirth.
Fhe weary eyes shall close in sleep,
No more their troubled watch to keep.
But life from death shall then be riven
And borne by gentle breeze to heaven.
Transformed shall be the withered leaves,
For there no more the spirit grieves;
But beauty that no eye hath seen
Moves meath the trees of living green.
" Tho earth with all its wealth decay,
My word shall never pass away"
This message breathed thro all the air
Makes life below most wondrous fair.
We see the falling of the leaf,
The binding of the golden sheaf,
The nest left empty in the tree
Where robins sang so joyously;
But never withered, never old,
Are hearts that keep loving hold
OF that eternal, changeless Friend,
Who gives the life that ne'er shall end

How to Pop Corn.

The rice corn is by many considered
the best variety for popping, and while
it is certainly an excellent kind we
have recently come across dark blue,
almost black variety, which we think
surpasses it. This kind has larger ears
than the rice, with smooth kernels OF
good size, and pops out much larger.
To secure the best results, discard the
old-fashioned corn-popper and use a

why do our wIde-awake and intelli-

opportunities?
If good male and female colleges
were established here, same as In the
northern or southern cities, it would
check our ranchmen and farmers
from sending their children off to
schools, and would cause their pa
rents to come to San An

mipgle in society and receive all the
full enjoyments and benefits of the
city, as now their ranches and farms,
mostly can be reached by rail.
Many good ranch and farm home

sending their children abroad to
colleges, for when they return their
old homes have no more charms for
them, they have become educated to
a far different life, and either return
to the cities or marry some one, re-
mote from their old home, which
sadly disarlanges their devoted
parents expectations while II all
