How To he Friends with Your son-in-iaw.
It would seem harder task to be
friends with ones son-in-law than with
any other relation. for 1t is hard to see
the daughter who has been the petted
and caressed and irresponsible darling
of the house pass from that life, where
mother was everything, to her new home,
where her new duties and new life put
her upon the footing OF y new being. No
man can or is expected to treat his wife
az the mother treated her daughter, and
it hurts mother keenly until she can
become accustomed to it. Her new re-
lation is antagonistic from the begin
ming, more from habit of hearing
mothers-in-law ridiculed and abused
than anything, and he is determined
that she shall not dominate him. The
only way in which she can hope for
friendliness is to remember the differ
ence between husband and mother,
close her ears to complaints and her eyes
to faults aud avoid giving advice or tax
ing sides in the little things that are
bound to arise to disturb the peace of
the household. Every man has a dim
distrust and jealousy toward his wife's
mother, and only time will wear it
away. The mother-in-law has q very
different role to play, particularly If
obliged to live with her son-in-law. She
is often unjustly blamed and made to
feel herself an intruder, her wishes and
natural desire to take the lead in house
hold matters, which she understands
and her daughter does not, are resented.
She is openly snubbed and persistently
sighted by nine out of ten sons-in-law,
and it is no wonder that bitter enmity is
engendered. The only safe rule for u
mother-in-law TO be friends with her
daughters husband Is to efface her in
dividuality "a completely as possible and
worship, or pretend to worship, the noble
being who has married her daughter.
Above all, she should never know any
thing about her son-in-law's shortcom-
ings or late comings. Some people might
call her an accomplice. but it is her only
hope. MoTHRR-IN-LAw.

This is the most wholesome form OF
hot bread. The biscuits are sometimes
called in the north and east Maryland
biscuits" but they did not originate
there and are common all over the
south. Rub one-quarter of pound Of
lard into II pounds Of -four, adding
a pinch Of salt. Mix enough milk or
water with it TO make a stiff dough.
Beat the dough well with rolling pi
for half an hour or more, or until it
blisters under the blows and will break
when pulled. Little machines come for
the purpose Of working the dough In
stead of beating 1t. This is good sub
stitute, as it saves labor. Roll the dough
out to little less than half an inch in
thickness, cut it into little biscuits,
pricking each one with fork, and bake.
They are best served hot, but are also
good cold

How Co Clean Lamp Chimneys.

Unless chimney be very badly smoked
it is really very much better not to wash
them. Nothing is better as cleaner
than an old newspaper. First dust off
the chimney; then breathe into 1t and
twist IA piece of the paper into it unt i
the inside is polished. Rub the outside
with the paper after rnoistening with the
breath. Many chimneys are broken in
the wash basin, and besides PARTICLES OF
the towels with which they are wiped
frequently cling TO the chimneys and
then catch fire after the lamp is lighted.
Water, soap and towel make them no
brighter than rubbing with piece of
paper.

How to Treat Burns and scalds.

Of all applications for burn none is
superior to simple covering of wheat
-four. This is always at hand, and
while it requires no skill in using, it pro-
duces astonishing effects. The moisture
produced upon the surface of a slight or
deep burn is at once absorbed by the
-four and forms paste which shuts out
the air. As long as the fluid matters
continue flowing they are absorbed and
prevented from producing irritation. 9s
they would do if kept from passing off
by oily or resinous applications, while
the greater the amount of these absorbed
by tho -four, the thicker the protective
covering. Another advantage of the
-four covering is that next to the sur
face it is kept moist and flexible. 1t can

Row to Tell the Time by the sun.

ROW to Tell the Time by the Sun.
Any method of telling the time by the
sun without the use of instruments and
mathematical calculations is necessarily
crude, but farmers and woodsmen be.
come quite expert in it. A man knows,
for instance. that on the 2lst Of March
and the 2ist of September we have days
Of twelve hours in length. From the
21st of March to the 22d of June the days
lengthen, and on that day the sun rises
at about 4:30 and sets Mt about 7:3C
Then from the 21st of September till the
22d Of December the days shorten until
they arc only about nine hours long, the
sun rising at about 7:30 and setting ut
about $3.50. Bearing these facts in mind
and remembering that the sun Is always
directly overhead ut IL o'clock noon, one
can come pretty close, by observing the
approach to the meridian and the de-
parture therefrom. to telling what time
it is by the sun. The convenient alma.
mac will help any one trying to do this,
but in this DAY Of cheap watches people
do not generally spend much time in &C
curing not very useful skill.
How to Give Castor Oil to Children.
As in various diseases Of children there

it is well to know how to give 1t without
aggravating the malady by forcing the
child to take the disagreeable dose. A
tablespoonful OF castor oil can be given
in glass of sarsaparilla or ginger ale
without the child's knowledge. The
soda or ginger ale or root beer should be
freshly drawn, and poured in such q
way as TO diffuse the oil all through it,

A sad accident happened at Bowie Station last Wednesday night. A Mexican circus was performing in a tent surrounded with torches made out of tin cans filled with oil erected on poles lightly stuck in the ground. A slight jar upset one of the torches which fell upon Eddie Boyd, very bright, intelligent young man who lives here, completely with flames. The flames were extinguished as soon as possible, but not before Eddie was badly burned about the face and arms He now lies in critical condition, surrounded by his family and friends, who with Dr. Porter, of Wilcox, are doing everything in their power to re- lieve his suffering. However. with proper care and attention his chances for recovery are very good.

 The court held that the university tax was legal one and must be paid but that the collectors fees were un. constitutional and could not be col lected of the $. P. Co. The county will have to pay the fees to the tax collector. and hereafter the tax levy will include tax collectors fees, which will be paid out of the county funds All those who paid their taxes under protest have 8 good canse for action against the county for the fees paid to the tax collector, but those who paid without such action will have tc stand it.
