Who Wanted to Find the Cascade.
A story once told by man promin-
nent in judicial circles illustrates the
roundabout way in which many coun-
trymen like to impart information. The
narrator was in Portland at the time
spoken of, and having q few days to
spare occupied himself in looking up
objects of interest in the vicinity He
heard of n romantic cascade, and was
inquiring of the hotel clerk as to its To-
cality when a rustic stepped up and
Joined in the conversation. Say" he
remarked genially, 81 can tell the jedge
all about the cascade, for live close
by it"
The "jedge" turned to him, saying he
would be most grateful for the infor-
nation.
Its as easy as pie" said the country
man; ...''taint no great of way out on
the Saco turnpike. You go out, say
about four mile, till you come to
cross-road, and then take your left.
Keep along half mile or so till you
come to a pastur' lane, if you let down
the bars, be pcrticl1ler to put 'em up
again, on account of the cattle,
Forty rods or so further on you'll
come to another pair o bars-mind ye
put them up, too. Then you foller that
road till it comes to hill. You kinder
circle round that till you come to a
crooked path like; take your right and
go down the holler; then foller up the
hill, round the mountain, and yell
bring out onter old Illsley's barn"
"How shall know Illsley's barn, if
ever get there?" asked the judge.
"How'll you Know it? Why, its right
opposite his housed" lag S.'
But how shall know his house?"
"Why, you'll see Illsley round some
where's; and We can't make no mistake
about him; ye'll know him by his nan
keen trousers. Ye see twas like this;
there was man down here that owed
Illsley quite lot, and couldn't pay. So
Illsley he levied on him, and attached
five cases o yaller nankeen that he had
in his store.
"He took 'em fer the debt, and car
ried em home. Miss Illsley, she was
so mad she told him he'd got { wear
out the stuff in trousers, and he's been
doin' it ever since, one pair in summer,
two pair fall and spring, and l reckon
about half dozen pair in winter. His
wife amt much on tailorin', she jest
makes 'em narrer at the bottom and full
and puckered up at the top. Seems as
if should die when see him" ~
We'll" asked the Judge, rather
bluntly, latter I've found lllsley, what
then? Where's the cascadc?n
"Cascadew echoed his informant. 81
should reckon old Illsley was curiosity
enough fer one day! After seein' him
you'll ferget all about the cascade. ~

How to Renovate Wall Paper.

In cleansing wall paper, first remove
all the grease spots by placing folds of
blotting paper over them and ironing
with moderately warm iron, after
which brush all the dust from the paper,
and clean and brighten it with fullers
earth, mixed with water to form hard
paste. 1t must be hard enough to
handle, like bread dough- To clean the
paper, take small lump of OF the clay,
and, commencing at the top of the
room, wipe it lightly downward, about
half a yard at each stroke, till the upper
part of the paper is clean, then around
again, with the same sweeping stroke,
always commencing each successive
course a little higher than the upper
stroke had extended, until the walls are
finished. This operation, il carefully
performed, will make old paper as
bright as new. Great caution must be
used however, not to rub the paper too
hard, or to attempt cleaning 1t hori-
zontally. The soiled part Of the fuller's
earth must be cut off each time, and the

TO improve the. torn parts, which usu-
ally occur near the bottom, buy some
ingram paper, which comes in all
shades and is of one color, to match the
predominating shade in the wall paper.
This paper is almost yard wide, and
may be used as dado, full width. A
narrow border in metallic green and
silver, or some other desirable molding,
should be used to divide it from the mp.

APPLE JELLY.
How This Can he Made With Pleasant
FIaYorIng Of Tan gerIne Orange.


FIavoring Of TangerIne Orange.
A new suggestion which comes from
abroad is worthy the consideration of
our housekeepers. Every practical pre-
server knows that the flavor Of apples
is very delicate and that it readily takes
on the flavor of any other fruit mixed
with it A ounce preserve made Of
half apples and half ounces is even
more delicious than one made of ounces
alone, because it is tenderer Follow
ing out this suggestion, apple jelly is
now made with a proportion of tanger-
inc oranges thrown in, sufficient to give
the jelly rich orange flavor. To make
this preserve, cut rich Newtown pippins
in small pieces, putting in the skins
and the cores without the seeds. To
half dozen large apples add a cup Of
water. Let the apples stew gradual
ly until they are. o soft pulp.
Pour this apple sauce into jelly
bag or sieve and let it drain through
gradually. Add to the apple juice the
juice Of six tangerines or Mediterranean
oranges. Boil the liquid obtained down
for half an hour. until it is reduced
about one-half Add pint of sugar to
every pint of liquid measured at the be-
ginning of the boiling. The preserves
should form a delicate jelly by this
time II it does not, 1t win require a
longer boiling. When the jelly is poured
into the marmalade Jars, as 1t should
be, seal mp the jars as soon as their
contents are thoroughly cold. To seal
them, lay pieces of clean white paper
over them and then pieces Of cotton.
batting Tie cottonbatting over the
mouth of each jar and, finally, seal the
whole up with round pieces of white
paper ms usual, using mucilage Of the
white of an egg for this purpose. IN.

There was special celebration OF

Faithful Over a Few Things.

Every student of history remembers
Capt. Perry's dispatch after the Battle
of Lake Erie, sentence terse and yet
glowing, eve have met the enemy, and
they are ours" Every one remembers
the great and significant result Of the
fight, but, few, perhaps, have heard of
one humble worker who served his
country just as truly there as II he had
been on deck amid shot and shell, earn
ing glory as well as the reward of a
good conscience. Just as the ships were
going into action the mate of the Law
renee said to Wilson Mays, who was i'll
and unfit for service:
go below, Mays; you are too weak
to be here.'
81 can do something, SIR" was the
stout reply.
"What can you do?"
81 can sound the pump, sir, and let a
strong man go to the guns"
Then he sat down by the pump, and
thus released for active service man
who had more muscle; and when the
fight was OVERT there he was found,
