REHABILITATION.

IAN the important points Of the mes
sage are in this extract, but as it is made
up from the telegrsphic reports, the par
agraphs do not appear in the order in
which they were written.l
The strained and too often disturbed reIa-
tions existing between the employees and the
employers in our great manufacturing estab-
lishments have not been favorable to a calm
consideration by the wage Garner of the
effect upon wages of the protective system.
A general process of wage reduction can
not be contemplated by any patriotic citi-
zen without the gravest apprehension. 1t
may be, indeed, believe is, possible for the
American manufacturer to compete success
fully with his foreign rival in many branches
of production without the defense of protec-
tive duties if the pay rolls are equalized; but
the conflict that stands between the producer
and that result and the distress of our work.

Walnut or Butternut Pickles.

An appetizing pickle, lille known at
the north, but common dainty on the
tables of good southern housekeepers. is
made Of white walnuts, or butternuts. AZ
they are called in New England. They
are at the right stage for picking when
still soft enough to be pierced by needle.
Gather and put Immediately into strong
brine.
Leave until convenient TO make into
pickle, occasionally heating the brine
and pouring over to keep the walnuts
from molding. Prepare them by rub
bing each walnut with an old crash towel
until the fuzzy substance with they are
covered has all been removed. They
stain the hands badly. Put in fresh
brine for a few days, after which pre-
pare the vinegar by the following rule;
To one hundred walnuts allow gallon
of vinegar; boil eight minutes, with Il
cupful of sugar, tablespoonful each Of
cloves, allspice, peppercorns and large
piece of raw ginger, sliced.
Distribute through the walnuts three
sliced onions, then pour over all the
spiced vinegar. If the walnuts are a
little hard, boil in vinegar. In three
days pour off the vinegar, boil it up and
again pour it over the pickles. They are
not really in their prime until they have
been made for three or four months, but
will keep for years, and are the most
delicious of all pickles. If they become
very sharp, add more sugar. They i'm.
prove with age.-Annie Curd in Good

How to Renovate an old Chair.

Only hard wood chairs are worth the
trouble, and if the wood is mahogany it
is best to send it to cabinet maker, for
it is too valuable to take chances with.
If it is oak or cherry, scrub it thoroughly
with sal soda and water and sandpaper
all the old polish off. Then give it sew
eral coats of English enamel paint of
any tint desired, allowing each coat to
dry before the next is put on, and
smoothing each one after it is dry with
fine sand paper. Do not try to upholster
it unless you know the trade of uphol-
stery, but make fancy cushion of Gre
tonne or silk and lay it or tie it on.

Leave One of Your Husbands Cards.

Leave one OF your Husband's Cards.
The latest edict In the etiquette Of
card leaving relieves us from the neces-
sity Of distributing shower Of paste
boards all along the weary way we trav-
erse in calling expedition, that is If we
would follow English customs. A few
years ago it became fixed rule that a
woman calling on husband and wife
without her consort should leave two Of
his cards and one Of her own with the
servant at the door. But the great call
ing world have gradually decided that
it is intensely stupid to use up twice as
many of mans cards as Of woman's,
when it is plain that call on the wife
is call on the husband.
Consequently, unless you are very
punctilious, it is considered quite suffi.
cient to leave one gentleman's card. The
lady's card should be left only when the
hostess is out, except in the case of q
first call, and should not be left at lat
homes" teas or receptions If you would
be English and up to date.
The fashionable card for lady is a
shade smaller than that of last year. Il
couldn't be shade larger without re-
sembling a reception or dinner invita-
ton, so the reduction was a coercive
measure. The mans card is smaller and
narrower than that of former years, the
proper dimensions being ~ inches in
width and little more that INCHES In
length.-New York Sun.

MY LOVE AND /.

dreamed last night that we were afoat,
My love and l, In fairy boat;
The troubles of life we had risen above
And had naught To do save to dream Of love.
The crescent moon was our fairy boat:
On the soft, white clouds we seemed to float,
While far In our wake the Milky Way
A cleaning flood of glory lay.
My oarblades rose and fell In the tide,
Scattering moonbeams ON every side.
Happier far than the gods were we
To float on that boundless, starry sea.
Music divine fell from above,
Whose every note was breath of love.
a discord rough on the music broke,
The glory vanished and-I awoke.
Yes, woke TO the old, hardworking life,
With its endless worry and toll and strife;
But through the darkness shines one gleam--
The memory of that golden dream.
And oftentimes as | close my eyes,
Once more | am back in Paradise,
Once more my love and | are afloet
On the feecy clouds, in our fairy boat.

How Well One Dog Was Trained.

August Osthoff, of Frankfort road,
was ON train on the North Pennsyl-
vania railroad recently in company with
some friends. They had started on a
cunning trip, and Mr.. Osthoff had
valuable pointer with him. The train
was going twenty-five miles an hour
when the dog heard the report of a gun
outside. Some boys were shooting black
birds. Starting up, Count (the pointer)
sprang to the open window and looked
out, when one Of Mr.. Osthoff's friends
eai1, in fun, "Go fetch it." The dog in
stantly leaped through tho easement, to
the great dismay of his owner, who tried
10 stop the train, and being prevented
from doing that got off at the next sta
ton and went back expecting to find his
pet crippled or killed. He had not gone
far, however, when the dog came tear
ing up to him with the blackbird.
