Truly HonoRaDie,

The truly honorable man tries to
remain ignorant of things that
concern him not. He turns aside
from the confidential gossip, glances
away from the open desk, shuns the
place where a whisper is audible,
with just Us much care as he would
use to avoid profiting by mistake
In his change. His curiosity does
not crave the knowledge OF sdch mat
ters. 1t has the whole wide world
for it's area, and seeks IT'S satisfaction
in more wholesome directions. After
all, the information to which we
have no rights is the smallest and
poorest and least valuable to us Of
any that we can obtain. Let US cul-
tivate worthy curiosity on subjects
that shall enlarge our minds, deepen
our feelings, and streng then our pur-
poses, and we shall shrink from that
ignoble inquisitiveness that revels 10
dishonest gain.

HARVESTING APPLES AND PEARS.

late writer says that he has lost n
hundred barrels of choice apples in the
course of his experience by not pick
ing them in the right season, often de-
ferring the work for his corn. cutting
or potato digging. There is no doubt
that many orchardists lose a great deal
by not gathering their apples in sea-
son, OF else, on the other hand, by
picking them too soon.
If the orchard and its crop are valu-
able many kinds of fruit are worth two
seasons OF picking. The first half is
when they begin to drop from the tree ;
but there is another half or more, with
some varieties which adhere firmly and
remain. Ii the gathering of these is
deferred about two weeks they will
keep longer and be better in quality.
1t is not difficult to select the most
mature first by their color, and they
will readily loosen at the stem, while
the Others strongly adhere.
The well known rule for gathering
nears. when the fruit will readily sepa-
rate from the tree when lifted half wsy
up. is an excellent rule, but there is
usually less difference in tie time o.
ripening than with apples. Pears
which ripen early and in medium sen
son should always be gathered some
days before ripe.
Choice varieties may be packed IL
drawers or boxes, and Will becom'
more delicious at maturity thah
ripened in the open air and on tn
tree. This is particularly importan

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
USE Fol, AN OLD MIRROR.

Have an old mirror or panel of
looking glass framed in a fiat, wide
pine frame. Let this be mounted on
claw feet, rs for screen, with narrow,
zinc-lined box, with the outside of
pine across the bottom. Enamel the
frame ivory white, paint the box dull
bronze-green and fill with ferns. Paint
sprays of ferns here and there across
the frame and you will have lasting
and charming summer fireplace screen
that can be refilled with ferns summer
after summer. In winter place it in
some corner, and put two or three
small sword palms in the box, always
filling it with fresh earth.-New York

TO CLEAN COOKING VESSELS.

Sometimes the most careful wash
ing will not wholly remove the flavor
or odor of food from the utensil in
which it was cooked. This is fire.
quently the case with fish, onions,
cabbage, etc, but there is a remedy
which may be little trouble, and yet
is well worth trying.
After any of these articles have
been cooked wash the utensil carefully
with soap and water. Now nearly fill
it with cold water. and for each quart
of water add about tablespoonful of
dissolved washing soda. Place on the
fire and let the water get boiling hot.
Now turn this water into the sink.
Rinse the utensil with clean, warm
water, and, on wiping it dry. it will
be found perfectly sweet.

A Gallant RemarK.

1t Is said that this is not the age OF
chivalry There is much evidence in
hand to prove that, whether the days
of knight-errancy have passed or not
this certainly is an age of gallantry.
There was much OF this quality for
instance, in the young man who had
but recently been married to young
girl, who, though short of stature,
was person of great beauty, who is
reported to have said, ''she would
have been taller, but she is made Of
such precious materials that Ia6rrc
could not affoIi It."
This man would seem to have the
qualities of mind and disposition to
make any woman happy, il he does
not permit time to dim the lustre
thereof. ~ Harper's Bazaar,

TO CLEAN CARPETS AT HOME.

1t is often the case that accidents
happen when one is far away from q
cleaners, or when perchance the
carpet may not be worth the expense
of the professionals s service, but would
be extremely useful if put in good
order
A simple and effectual means Of
cleaning is to rip the breadths apart,
if the carpet is large; take one breadth
Mt a time over common kitchen table
or wide board and scour with pre-
pared soapsuds, if necessary, or
naphtha. If that substance is to be
used, scrub the carpet thoroughly
with an ordinary scrub brush. If the
washing is done with soapsuds, it is
well to rinse the carpet thoroughly,
which may be done by throwing on
pailfuls of water and scrubbing it out
with the brush to rid the fabric of the
suds as nearly as may be. If the
carpet shows symptoms of fading, or
if the colors threaten to run, it is
quite worth while to go over it again
and again with the brush and with
soft cloths and remove the water as
rapidly as possible, meanwhile having
the board or table tipped at an angle
SO as to allow all surplus water to
drain away as quickly as 1t can. This
is rather slow work and hard work
but if we'll done, the result will be
carpet entirely cleaned, perfectly
wholesome and quite good enough for
an upper room or for the rugs and
pieces that are required in every
/, house. New York Ledger.

THE FARM WE'LL.

Too often no precaution is taken to
prevent the polluting of the farm wells
by the drainage from the barnyard,
pigpen and other equally dangerous
sources. More disease and sickness is
caused by the drinking of impure
water than by any other one thing,
and too much care cannot be taken in
locating well or protecting the ones
dug from pollution by surface
or under drainage. American Farmer.
