Place the currant-iuice in a preserving-kettle with the sugar and stir until the latter is dissolved, and afterwards boil five minutes more, then add the grooseberries and let them cook slowly until the sirup is clear and the fruit broken. Care is requisite in the latter part of the cooking to keep it from sticking to the kettle. Take up in small jars or tumblers and seal.- Orange Judd Farmer.

 It was not large piece of money, but it looked good in his eyes; clean and white and solid, as money we'll and honestly earned Is sure to look
 You've done now" said Mir. Green.
 I'll just sweep up this little pile of sand and wheel it off, sos to leave the walk looltin' neat" said Johnny
 Just at that time Bill was slowly making his way back to where he had left Johnny, looking with great satis- faction at two small coins he held in his hand.
 Fifteen cents. Waited round the whole afternoon thinkin' I'd never get job, and then come along a man wantin' letter took to the post office in hurry. Didn't take me more'n twenty minutes to make more'n John ny's made workin hard all the after noon. Won't l crow over him, though! wonder what's goin' on round on that street?"
 Quickening his usually lazy gait, Bill rounded the corner to come upon a scene of little excitement.
 A small pony carriage had been standing in front of the house next to Mir. Greens. The gentleman driving 1t had gone into the house, leaving the pony united and little girl sitting in the carriage. A noisy wagon being driven rapidly by had frightened the skittish little animal and he began backing and rearing, finally turning sharply and starting to run.
 The little girl screamed with fright. No one but Johnny chanced to be very near just at the moment Dropping the broom with which he was clearing away the last of the sand, he ran and seized the pony by the bit. It pranced about in lively manner, jerking Johnny from his feet, but the small boy pluckily held on.
 It is not likely that anyone would have been hurt, for plenty of help was near, and the little girls father came running out with her first cry, and was soon adding his strong hand to John ny's in bringing the pony to order. But the gentleman smiled very kindly on the sunburned, freckled boy.
 You did that very we'll" he said. ''If the pony had got a start there might have been trouble. I want to know your name and where you live. And-here"-
 Bi had drawn near. and now stood breathless as the gentleman put his hand in his pocket.
 Boys like a bit of money, know for l was boy once myself" he went on looking over a handful of | change.
 What would it be, Bill wondered. A quarter, may be-no, he was passing over the quarters. A half? Then Johnny could go to the fair, sure enough. But--it was the biggest sill yer piece of all which was held out to Johnny-a big, round, hard, solid sill

TIMBER ON PUBLIC LANDS.
-Rae's Bill to Prevent Free Use Reported
 from the Committee.

-Rae's Bill to Prevent Free Use Reported
 from the Committee.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-One of the most important measures of this con gress from the public lands committee is Mir. McRae's bill to prevent the free use of timber of public lands, which that committee agreed upon yesterday. The bill repeals the acts of 1891, regulating the cutting of timber, and that of 1893, governing prosecutions for violations of the law, and provides that hereafter it shall be unlawful to grant permis- sion to any persons or corpora tions to cut timber free of charge. Noth- ing in the act is to prevent the secretary of the interior from permitting, under proper restric- tions, the use of stone and timber free to bona fde settlers or mineral pros pectors for firewood, fencing and building purposes. The committee struck out the clause revoking all per mits already granted by the interior department.

SELLING LIQUOR TO INDIANS.
An Important Decision Thereon Rendered
 by an Oregon Judge.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. S.-Judgc Bel finger, yesterday morning signed an important decision in the cases of Thomas Hawkes. and Edward Kline, charged with selling liquor to Indians. He decided that the allotment of lands in severalty to Indians had the effect of removing them from under the charge of Indian agents and gave them the standing of American citizens. As such the United States laws governing Indians do not apply to them, and the selling of liquor to an Indian who is not in charge of United States Indian agent is not punishable under the United States statutes. The decision has precedent, the opinion of Judge Hane- ford, delivered in an Indian case of anpther character in 1892, but it is the first decision to this effect in case di- rectly in point.

CLEANING FURNITURE.
It Is Not Good to Use Ordinary Soap and
 Water.


 It is GU zomary in some households to wash the furniture with soap and water. Such method may be entirely safe when practiced by careful per- sons As the average maid is likely to treat valued Vernis Martin cabinet with the same consideration accorded common floor, it is well that the use of soap and water by her in connection with furniture should be forbidden.
 When soap is used for furniture it should be of the best quality, having but a small amount of alkali in it's composition, and the'water used should be luke-warm, applied with a soft cloth and quickly wiped off, particu- larly from all corners and crevices.
 Dark mahogany, which is now so fashionable, is particularly sensitive to soap and water, arising from the fact that the coloring matter which operates to darken the wood through the acton of light is an acid, so that when the alkali of the water is permitted to re- main upon it it will, in reaching the acid, for which it has affinity, destroy the polished surface.
 Raw linseed oil and spirits of turpen- tine, in the proportions of two-thirds oil and one of turpentine, is the model furniture reviver. 1t is what profess sionals rely on; as rule they use no other The woodwork should be first carefully wiped off with a dry, soft cloth, and the dust thoroughly removed from corners and carvings. The best article to accomplish this is large paint brush, usually called painters duster The oil may then be applied with a smaller brush, wiping off with soft cloth and rubbing thoroughly dry. It will be found that dents and scratches lose their prominence under this treatment; should this method be pursued regularly there will be no difficulty experienced in having furni- ture retain fresh appearance.
 When a piece of furniture is very badly defaced and dented it should be intrusted to some good repairer, who may sometimes find it necessary to scrapc off the old finish entirely, in order to make a satisfactory piece of work. When the wood is slightly dented one may sometimes overcome the trouble by steaming the indenta- ton with hot iron and wet cloth, afterward making small pad of mus lin and rubbing over the surface some thin shellac, just adding touch of oil to make the work easier. Scratches may be treated in the same way Ladies' Home Journal.

Stub Ends of Thought.

It is easier to marry than it is tc love.
 Mans mind to him kingdom is while woman's heart is that to her.
 A patch on the seat of a poor mans trousers may be honester than the crown on kings head.
 There may be charity without re- ligion, but there can be no religion without charity.
 Tears that come easy, go easy. Ditto, love.
 Don't nurse good intent; give it immediate exercise.
 Mans yesterdays should be his proudest monument.

Gen. Ogle, member of the Penn sylvania assembly, had been deputized to compose an address to the newly elected president, Andrew Jackson. When the bluff old warrior submitted his document to the house, fellow member, a dapper little fellow from Philadelphia, observed: Pardon me, general. hesitate about making any suggestions to so distinguished an in dividual; but l can not refrain from saying that it is customary with cul- tured letter writers to write the first personal pronoun with a capital r in- stead of small 'i.'" Gen. Ogle re- turned look of scorn. Sir" said he. 'when I write to so great general as Gen. Andrew Jackson, democratic pres. ident of the United States, abase my self.

He Will Go to Montgomery at the Proper
 Time and Set Up n Rival Government.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1O.-A special from Birmingham says the Kolbite and populist committees have been in ses- sion there for two days.

It is the plan of the Kolbites to set up dual government. Part of the scheme is to invite all populists elected to the regular legislature to go into trump legislature which the Kolbites will set up; other members of which will be populist legislative candidates whom Kolb claimed were counted out.
