Hopelessness Of the Cracker"


One clever, original manufacturer for
five years devoted head, heart and purse
to ameliorate the condition of his oper-
atives-the worst class in the commun-
ity. They had no homes; he bought and
built houses, which fell to pieces through
neglect or were burned up in orgies.
When their dwellings were again re-
paired the crackers felt out of place in
setting Of order and neatness, and "jes
to make things sorter homelike," as was
afterward naively explained, they kick
ed out the panels Of the doors, smashed
the windows. riddled the walls and cut
up the floors for kindling wood.
With driftwood for fuel lying almost
at their gates, if they have a gate,
rather than walk to and from the fence,
if they have a fence, the proletarian in
habitants prefer to destroy their land
lords property. An attempt to utilize
their horticultural instincts was unavail-
ing. The gardens were fenced, the ten
ants burned the planks; the plats were
plowed, not seed was planted, and
when, undiscouraged, the employer
planted the gardens himself, the people
turned in the hogs with the comment,
''Bacons better than garden sass any
day. Century.

Cement for Knife Handles.

A material for fastening knives or forks
into their handles is much needed The best
cement which is used for this purpose is
made by melting one pound of colophony,
bought of any druggist, and eight ounces of
sulphur. 1t may be kept in bar or reduced
to powder. Take one part powder and mix
with iron filings. fine sand or brick dust, and
fill the cavity of the handle, heat the stern of
the handle, then heat the stem of the knife OF
fork and insert. When cold it will be found
to be firm in its place Good Housekeeping.

one Reason why.

A woman has told me that this is one rea-
son why men fall to selfish girls for wives,
to wit; that these look cooler, keep fresher
and better alrayed than the girls who help
their mothers and have less time to look to
themselves. 1t were well, think, both for
a man and for a woman who reach age to be
married, to search into any one who looks
well kept, and discover whether like a fruit,
he be not altered altogether by the pickle
that has preserved him, or his heart be not
like mummy dried in spices.-Globe Demo

At a recent meeting of the Ithaca Dairy
institute Professor Roberts stated that in
his experience the Holsteins milk tested
1874 and the Jerseys l25 pounds of milk
to one pound of butter. A fact generally
conceded at this meeting was that cream
should be kept cool and sweet until there
is enough for churning, and then all
soured or ripened alike by putting in a
warm room and stirring from. bottom to
top once an hour. Experts present claimed
that by this means one-tenth more butter
will be made than by promiscuous mix
ing of the cream in all stages of ripening

A Hymn with Two Authors.

Who IS the author of the hymn, "In
the Sweet By and By?"
With regard to the authorship of this
now famous hymn there is a difference
of opinion. The author of the words is
believed to be DR.. S. f. Bennett, who,
while living in Elkhorn, Wis, wrote the
lines in fit of mental depression. They
were set to music by Mr.. J. p. Webster,
composer living in the same town
Another version credits Mr.. Webster
with the authorship of the music and
the first verse of the hymn, which
was then completed by DIR. Bennett.
The credit of both words and music
must be given to the two gentle
men mentioned, though what was the
individual contribution of each cannot
now be determined. The song was writ
ten in 1868, and almost Immediately
achieved the wide popularity which it
has ever since enjoyed. st. Lo,lis Globe
