In the "IIstory of Beverly" Mass, the
following anecdote is related Of a good JUS
tce of the peace in the old colonial times.
On cold night in winter traveller called
at his house for lodging. The ready hos
pitalty of the justice was about being dis
played, when the traveller unluckily ut
tered a word which his host considered
prolane.
Upon this he informed his guest that he
was magistrate, pointed out the nature
of the oifense, and explained the necessity
of it's being expiated by sitting an hour in
the stocks.
RemonstranCe was unavailing, for Gus
tom at that time allowed the magistrate
to convict and punish at once, and in this
case he acted as accuser, witness, jury,
Judge and sheriff, all in one
Cold as it was, our worthy justice, aided
by his son, conducted the traveller to the
place of punishment, an open place near
the meeting house where the stocks were
placed. Here the traveller was confined in
the usual manner, the benevolent executor
of the law remaining with him to beguile
the time of its tedium by edifying conver'
sation.
At the expiration of the hour he was re-
conducted to the house and Hospitality en-
tertained till the next morning, when the
traveller departed with, let US hope, a de
termination to consider his words more
carefully before giving them utterance in
the hearing of conscientious magistrate

Points for Heuse Cleaning.

To avoid carpet moths; If you find no
appearance of moths in your carpets use
an 'ounce of prevention" In other words,
after your carpet has been laid, sponge
thoroughly in strong solution of salt and
water 1t is well also to sprinkle salt un-
derneath the carpet, in dark corners, under
bookcases, couches, ETC., where the carpet
is least used. Above all, keep your rooms
sufficiently light, remembering that moths
should be numbered among those wicked
creatures who prefer darkness rather thar
light because their deeds are evil"
Rattan chairs which have grown dark
and discolored with use may be greatly i'm
proved by scrubbing with hot milk and
salt, and alterward exposing to the sun
and wind till dry
In cleaning your pantry shelves use an
other ounce of prevention Sprinkle a
mixture powdered boraX and pulyerized
alum underneath the papers, and you won't
be likely to be troubled with ants.
A remedy highly recommended for the
eXterminOtion of rats and mice is cornmeal
mixed with powdered glass, Spread the
mixture in their favorite haunts; and it is
claimed they will fee from the premises in
an incredibly short time,
Bad spots of oil or grease upon the car
pet, which fail to yield to ordinary treat
ment, may often be removed with buck
wheat -four and water Make a stiff bat
ter, spread upon the spots and allow it to
dry. Sometimes more than one application
will be necessary, but ordinarily when the
-four is swept of tho spots will disappear
with it.
Grease spots upon wall paper may be re-
moved with Fulcr's earth. Make thick
paste, spread carefully upon the spots, and
let it remain for twelve hours. Brush it
off, and if the spot has not entirely dlsap'
peared repeat the process, SGdgwick

When We compare what our Spain was
under the congress Of 1875 with what she
Ia to-day, the realization Of so much practi-
cal progress and the harvest of so many
democratic ideas seem like dream. Trials
were then held ssoretly, as In inquisitorial
times justics now seeks the light, giving
greater security to the citizen. We then
depended OH tribunals which themselves
were dependent upon the government;
popular jury trials today give back to the
people the foremost of all sovereign at
tributes-the administration of justice
Our party, called factious by the public
power, aud as such prosecuted, was then
declared illegal; today Republican doc
trines can be preached in the light Of day,
and will be carried out, when the nation
shall hold II at, within the bounds Of lc-
gality Meetings then could be held only
through the tolerance Of the government;
now we assemble because our right to do
30 is acknowledged by the law.
The minister Of the interior then had the
sole power Of granting permits to publish
newspapers, and he subjected journals to
capricious suspensions and suppressions.
Today any Spanish citizen can found a
paper without making deposit or Civ
ing the name OF the responsible editor; and
the excesses Of the press are restrained by
ordinary penal Legislation and punished
by public conscience and public opinion.
The only thing wanted to complete all this
marvellous evolution was to extend to all
the privilege Of voting, formerly enjoyed
by few. Universal suffrage, promul-

shades of green, yellow, heliotrope and
brown may be found, while red, blue and
pure white are also to be had. Coarse woven
straws come also in mixed colors, either
made up or in piece braid, and are very ef-
fective when trimmed with flowers and vel
vet. A great deal Of green foliage is used
with the flower sprays, and green blossoms
are also favorites, the mignonette being
particularly pretty. Lilacs are not so much
used as they were last year, but roses and
violets retain their prestige. Sprays Of
semidouble yellow chrysanthemums are
shown having large yellow middles, and
buttercups and dandelions also figure
among the popular yellow flowers.
Much lace in black, white and ecru is
used Sometimes it forms the entire frame
OF the hat, sometimes it is mingled with
straw braid for that purpose, and sometimes
it is used only in the trimming. Guipure,
spangled net lace and the fine thread varie-
ties are all employed, the latter to form
frillings arouad the edge of the brim or ful
knife plated ruchings.
Jet and spanges are seen everywhere.
Jetted ostrich tips and quilts are used in
preference to plain ones, and separate jet
crowns, brinls and ornaments are for sale
in great numbers. Buckles have not yet
retired from fashionable favor and may be
found in gold silver, steel, jewels aud jet.
No birds are seen on the newest hats and
bonnets. A large number Of black hats are
worn, especially in lace. They are elabo-
rately made and trimmed and are usually
enlivened by the addition of a knot of car
mine, heliotrope or bright green velvet, or
q spray Of large red roses with leaves

The Observance OF Memorial Day

In 1868 the Grand Army of the Republic
first began to observe Memorial Day in a
formal manner. The south adopted the
custom Of decorating its soldiers graves
with flowers before the civil war closed
and the practice spread to the north just
after the war, but it did not become gem
eral until 1868. At that tim5N General Logan
was commanderin-c of the G. A. r.,
and his orders for tho observance of the
day by the different posts was issued early
in May, the Both Of May being designated
for the ceremonies. 1t was first called
Decoration Day. but subsequently it be-
came known as Memorial Day.--St. Louis

The murmur low Of whispering grove hear,
The darting squirrel heeds me not at play;
As 'twere at senseless clod or lifeless clay,
Low at my feet the bluejays light and peer,
So silent sit l, motionless, forlorn,
Red life blood, chilled through vein and pulse,
creeps slow.
Resound the distant wheels with rumble low,
AS DER the broken bridge my love is borne.
Know ye deaths image, hero on earth to part
With all that makes the bleaksome world more
dear2
An instant liquid eyes with love CLEAN fond,
The grasp of breathing life thrills through tho
heart.
Anon, alone-the stiffness do not fear
Love kens no loss-eternity;s beyond.
