WORDS OF WISDOM.

A suppressed resolve will betray itse.
in the eyes.
The hest place to practice good man
ners--at home.
Anger is the avalanche of the heart
and Il breath may loosen it.
Your troubles easy born when every
body gives it a lift for you.
If people are not aware that you are a
good man don't tell them you are.
A believing outlook into long future
is most favorable to careful and virtu-
Gus life.
The right word is always power, and
communicates its deiniteness to our
action.
Who can tell just what criticism7 MUIR
The Cat may be passing on us beings Of
wider speculation?
1t always seemed to me sort OF clever
stupidity only to have one sort Of talent
like carrier pigeon.
In our eagerness to explain impressions,
we often lose our hold or the sympathy
that compartments them.
Folks as have no minds to be O. use
have alIays the luck to be out of the road
when there is anything to be done.
Every country merchant will agree that
The hardest customers to please are the
women who bring bad eggs to the store.
The man who pays his debts simply
because he is forced to, Is not worthy to
be trusted, because he is not an honest
man.
It is difficult for woman ever to try
TO be anything good when she is not be-
Iieved in-when it is always supposed
that she must be contemplate.
Will was not without his intentions to
De always generous; but cur tongues are
title triggers which have usually been
pulled before general intentions can be
brought to bear.
1t is melancholy solace, though it is
one, 10 make the gains of experience re-
pair the ravages of disappointment, bal
ancing unreturned expenditures of affec-
ton with accommodations of knowledge.
We, perhaps, rever detect how much
of our social demeanor is made up of
airs, until we see person who
Is at once beautiful and simple. With
out the beauty we are apt to call the sim
piiclty awkwardness.

Guards Against Thieves.

The hOuSebreaker of the future
will require an outfit resembling the
aCrObatic apparatus Of a travelling
circus. A complete assortment Of the
anti-burglar contriVances patented in
the course of the last twentv-years
would fill a fair-szed museum, and
the French patents alone comprise
arrangements which, if property adj
justed, make it almost impossible for
a WOuldbe re bier to enter house
without awakening its tenants from
any ordinary slumher, or rather any
slumher but that Of death, to Judge
from the sensitive construction and
the startling no5incss Of the alarm
apparatus.

CANNED PEA SOUP.

Open a can of peas, drain, and lay
them in cola salt water for half an hour.
Boil them soft in three pints of hot salt
water, with Il slice of onion and a stalk
OF celery. A sprig of mint improves the
flavor. When soft, rub them with the
water in which they were cooked
through coIlandcr; put over the fire
and bring to boil. Add two heaping
tablespoons of butter rolled in three
heaplug tablespoons of flour; one-half
cupful of hot milk; small tablespoon
full of sugar; salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer and stir for five minutes, and
turn into ttIreen in which is some fried
bread dice.-American Farmer.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

Dampen cloth and dip III soda and
rub tlnware briskly, after which wipe
dry.
Kerosene applied with rag when you
are about to pat your stoves away will
prevent them from rusting.
To polish kitchen knives nicely, mix a
little carbonate of soda with the brick
dust and rub them thoroughly.
Castor oil has not failed in any case
to remove warts to which il was applied
once day for two to six weeks.
To keep flies away from gilt frames
boil four or five onions in a pint of wa
ter and put it on with soft brush.
BY rubbing with q flannel dipped in
whiting the brown discolorations may be
taken off cups which have been used in
baking.
Silks and ribbons may be cleaned and
made to look like new by sponging them
with equal parts of strong tea and vine
| gar. lion with not too hot iron.
A great convenience when cleaning
| house is a stick with a notch in the end
that will lit the picture cords of from
the hooks without so much stepping up
and down.
Papered walls are cleaned by being
wiped down with flannel cloth tied
over broom or brush. Then cut of a
thick piece OF sale bread and rub down
with this. Begin at the top and 60
straight down.
Four ''nevers:" Never 60 to bed with
cold or damp feet. Never lean with the
back upon anything that is cold. Never
begin journey until the breakfast has
been eaten. Never take warm drinks
and Immediately 90 out into the cold.
To clean hair brushes, dip them up
and down in soda water, rinse in tepid
water in which little ammonia has been
mixed. Place several thicknesses of
brown paper on the back of a very mod
crate oven, set the brushes upon this,
bristles down, and dry.
I. is the most beggarly economy to lay
a carpet on the floor without putting
papers under it, No carpet will stand
the hard wear which comes upon it when
it IS put directly on the floor. Besides,
1t softens the tread and renders it more
agreeable to walk upon.
To clean oilcloth it must be wiped
perfectly dry as it is washed. Use little
soap and this in tepid water; change
often. A good brush and a piece of
dry flannel will make oilcloth look like
new, especially if linseed OIL or skim
milk is we'll rubbed in after washing. If,
in addition to these precautions, the
cloth is vanished annually it is almost
indestructible.
Hot alum water is the best insect de-
stroyer known. Put the alum into hot
water and let it boil until it is all dis
solved; then apply the solution not to
all cracks, closets, bedsteads and other
places where any insects are found.
Ants, bedbugs, c0ckroaches and creep
ing things are killed by it, and there is
no danger of poisoning the family or in
jurlng the property.
To clean marble, mix two parts of
powdered whiting with Que of powdered
bluing and half a pound of soft soap,
and allow it to come to a boil; while
still hot apply with a soft cloth to the
stained marble aud allow it to remain
there until quite dry, then wash of with
hot water ald soap in which little salts
of lemon has been dissolved. Dry well
with a piece of soft flannel, and your
marble will be clean and white as when
new.

ArjstocratS in tho French Navy.

The French navy is the last resort
Of ariStOCratic France. There are 4
number Of families in the French
nObleSse whose members are willing
to serve the Republic in the navy,
but schcrish the curious fiction that
post in the army or in the civil
service would imply loss Of caste and
aCquieScence IN hated regime. This
feeling does not make the navy ropu-
lar with the radical Republicans, and
is undoubtedly as The bottom of the
attack recently made on the minister
Of marine i'll the French chamber Of
deputies, or the uproar which followed
his declaration that it would be "im-
possible to place the navy under the
direction Of an army officer. '-phila-

helper.
A BAD man generally hates a goot
| dog.
| IMAGINARY troubles are the mos
deadly.
u LISTEN to doubt is to listen t.
q devil.
No MANS character is any bette
than his word.
Il Christian life we always live a
high as we look.
THERE is never any heavenly music
in a gloomy heart.
EVERY Christian ought to have ;
| Christian character.
FROM what a man says you Car
often tell what he IS.
The right kind Of martyrdom lets
somebody else advertise it.
No MAN who leads others is always
following somebody himself.
THE devil will not be afraid of your
Bible if there is dust on it.
II is harder to get away from the
Lord than it is to find Him.
II doesn't take a bit of meanne6s
out OF a rascal to polish him.
If you want to help the Lord in
your own family, don't scold much.
How EASY it is to see where other
people might economic if they would.
EVERY man and woman who is
really good helps to hold Heaven up.
The man who is willing to have
only little religion will never have
any.
SIN would never hurt anybody il it
couldn't look little and harmless at
first.
WATCHFUL prayer and prayerful
watching are great helps Heaven
ward.
Too MANY people are electric lights
In prayer-meeting and tallow dips at
home.

sins is the same kind that devils have
for big ones.
EVERY sermon ought to have some
thing in it that the devil will have to
try to answer.
IT is not according to Gods plan

begin doing better.
EVERY gift that comes from Gods
hand IS a good gift, no matter how
uncOmely it may look.
THE only difference education can
make in sin is to make it change the
manner Of its expression.
IT man could go to Heaven on a
tiOwery bed Of ease he would feel very
lonesome after lie got there.
II never makes Us a bit broader to
go up and down the earth declaring
that somebody else is narrow.
IT will be found ont some day that
the only people who are truly rich are
those who gave up all for Christ.
GOD wants his children to find out
that his hand is always within reach,
no matter how dark 1t may look.
THERE are some people who think
that sermon is the best which misses
them and hits all their neighbOrs.

SutSE SeEWHSH GW0 senators.
More than one statesman would
like to know why Senator Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, and Senator Butler,
Of South Carolina. are such chums.
1t has been standing marvel for
years. Although one is Il Democrat
and the other Republican it never
makes any difference. Ever since
Cameron came to the Senate he and
Butler have ten as inseparable as
school girls. They ride 70 and from
the Capitol together. They lunch
together almost every day when Cam
eron is present, and when one is seen
at is always safe t. count on the other
being near by. Time has only seemed
to strengthen the friendship and no
one has eve found out the source of
