THE OLD HlLL-PATH,

It's true; it is as graceful as when, in other
days,
It wound along in beauty TO the top; but as I
gaze
This musing hour upon it, sad tears my eyelids
fill,
For something's gone forever from the old
path up the hill.
The sunlight and the shadows rest upon it with
the same
Dear benedictive presence as in the days when
came
No aching care to haunt me. from morn till eve
at will.
Ere something passed forever from the old
path up the hill.
The breezes, as they loiter by. the old airs
fondly Groom
The blithe birds in the tree-tops sing as in nv
LIES lost June;
And, as then, the myriad blossoms all around
their wealth diStin,
But something's gone forever from the old
path up the hill.
Something face-a touch of hand-a voice
presence-lo.
A world that brought me heaven, all vanished
with the flow
Of pauseless Time, and, slowly, along I wander
still
With something gone forever from the old path
up the hill.
Would We might again-again- days
so dear to me.
And give me back the glory of my life'S sweet
Already
For, though Summer reignS a goddess, in my
heart lives winters chill.
Since something's gone forever from the old
path up the hill
l lift my wet eyes skyward, and plead Why
must it be
This Utmost desolatiOn, this awful misery"
But silence moclIs my hearts cry, while fresh
tears my eyelidS fill
All! something's gone forever from the old
path up the hill
The sun in royal splendor is flushing all the
west;
The day is dying-dying- twill soon be time
for rest
But an. no rest for me, as all alone wander.

MAKING AN OX-YOKE.
A Boyhood Experience of Noted Edu-
Gator.

Gator.
In the olden time. a jack-knifc was
Indispensable to the contentment of a
Yankee boy. Its hOmely horn handle
and blade of the best steel made him
an expert in whiting useful things
for the house and farm. With it he
learned his first lesson in the school of
the carpenter and wheelwright. In
those days almost any Yankee farmer
could build a frame house, or make all
OF an oX-cart except the wheels. In NV
Life and Times, DR.. Cyrus Hamlin, the
missionary, tells how whiting enabled
him and his brother to make an OK
bow and cart when they were boys on
farm.
Their mother, widow, had only
money enough to buy new pillow and
pair of cart wheels. The two bows
determined to make carts tongue,
axle and body, and an oX-yolle. They
had become experts in whiting. and
though one was only thirteen years
old, and the other fifteen, they thought
that boys could do some things as we'll
as men.
They cut down a yellow birch and
obtained two lengths for yolles Bor-
rowing board pattern. they began
hewing the log to the pattern. having
for tools an AK, drawshave, jack-plane
and auger
The log was soon in shape so that it
could be worked upon before the
kitchen fire at night. As it was diff
cult to work the curry ID surface with
nothing but a drawshave, they Dor
rowed a spokeshave. and with it nicely
finished the yoke. They scraped it
with pieces of glass and polished the
surface by hard rubbing with dry
stick.
They bored the holes-and ruined the
yoke. The holes We're not parallel. and
the bows would not enter. Their
hearts broke. A neighbor comforted
them by praising the work. telling
them that in attempting to bore the
holes they were trying to do what few
men could do
Make another just like this one, but
leave it straight on the back. and l
will come and bore the holes" said he.
They made another yoke, but as the
neighbor did not come at the moment
they expected him. they invented a
way of making the four auger holes
parallel to each other
The result was success. an improve
ment on the first yoke, and the boys
were glad of their misfortune. The
neighbor came along, and seeing the
finished yoke, asked;
well, boys, who bored those holes?"
"We."
Then you have spoiled another good
yoke
When, however, he found them per-
feet, he exclaimed: Don't tell me
lie: you never did that"
They showed him how they had
worked, and he laughingly said, when
| make yoke YOU shall bore it.
They then made an axle and tongue
for the new cart-wheels. and potato
body. or box body, and a hay body.
There was an education in this hard
work. 1t prepared both boys for the
battle of life. Years after. one of them,
Cyrus, won a college education became
missionary, and built on the banks of
the Bosphorus bakery and a laundry,
by which he washed clothes and baked
bread for hundreds of British soldiers
during the Crimean war.
He did more-he built Robert college.

the drudgery of a New England farm

IN AMATEUR CIRCLES.

Local Clubs arc Preparing for the Summer
sports on Land and River.
The last exhibition OF the season in the
Young Mems Christian Association gymna-
sium will be given on next Thursday evening.
and Prof. Sims has fine programme pre-
pared. Many of the athletes connected with
the Young Mems Christian Association hare
already begun outdoor work at Association
Park, aud the baseball players have been get
ting in shape for another try to carry off the
District championship, in which they have
been so successful in the past. There will be
but few changes in the team this year.
Now that the cooked hat tournament at the
Columbia Athletic Club has been finished
and Sidney Smith the winner the aleys have
been given up for practice TO the team which
will 90 to Brooklyn on the 2ith and bowl the
Carton team of that city. The work on the
new Columbia iield is going mcrriy on, and
Pref Crossley is anxiously awaiting the time
when he can get his classes on the track.
Athletics will be given decided revival in
the club this summer.
Manager Outerbridge Horscy, jr, of the
Georgetown College baseball team, has
arranged schedule of twenty-nine
games. and he will start the ball
rolling the coming week. Games sched-
uled this week are. Wednesday, Lehigh
will play here; Thursday, Columbia College,
of New York: Saturday and Monday week,
Princeton. Manager Horsey says his team
will be much stronger than last year, when
clever victories were gained over era TX organ
iZations.
The Potomac Boat Club and the Analostans
are alive to the opportunity for river work al
forded 10y the mild weather. and both clubs
will make an effort this season to add new
laurels to their regulations. The boating con-
tingent OF the Columbia Athletic Club will
also be found engaged in their favorite pas
time and exercise.
The Washington Athletic Club of Carroll
Institute, the Young Mems Catholic Club. and
the many others in the city are all waiting for
the outdoor season tc begin operations. All
in all, the prospects are bright for the best
season in District amateur athletics.

thought no more of it till found that Judge
William Frazee-an Oklahoma Republican
had sent n COPY of il to Judge Tarbell, then
OF this city. who handed 1t to the Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune who
telegraphed it to his paper, and next day
Senator Frye, of Maine, then in the lower
House, read it in Congress, and made it the
text of one of the most dramatic speeches
ever delivered before that body.
The effect was electrical. subscriptions to
the States poured in from every State in the
Union, from Canada and from countries
across the sea. Harper and were suddenly
made the center of every gaze. Great metro
politan papers sent men to interview us. My
editorials were quoted by every big and little
paper in the land, and every big and little
politician of the Republican party read my
writings 10 his exasperated listeners from the
platform.
The Democratic managers denounced me
as Republican in disguise. and one OF them
Dave Fisher by name-forged my name to
a letter that came very near costing me my
life. This letter pu-ported TO have been writ
ten by me to Gen. Robinson, at that time
chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee of Ohio, and in it l was made to
appear as being in league with the organiZa-
ton OF which he was the head.
The forgery was teleGraphei all over the
United States. Men met on Okolona street
corners Win vengeance IN their teetn ana L
was only saved by the interposition of Gen.
William Tucker. who plead with the people
to give me time in which to show my inno-
cence. This they did, and some days later l
demonstrated thar the letter was a forgery.
As l have said. Col. Harper now holds a
position in the Government Post-office here.
There is no love lost between us. We never
speak to each other but the man who says
that either he or ! ever received one cent at
the hands of tha Rpnuhlican Marty in rpturn
for my editorials in the 0kolona States is
liar, who
Lies in his teeth,

Take few cents worth of bones of beef.
slowly stew, add some salt. pepper, and mace.
Thicken this with medium sage Either car
rots or onions or both may be added. For
the sage you may substitute several small
suet balls and so produce different soup. If
the broth be made from mutton bones instead
OF beef, salt. pepper, and a very little oatmeal
may be added or little pearl barley if the
soup be for children.
Buy ham bone, stew it well. add pint OF
dried peas, some mint, pepper. salt, etc.. to
suit respective tastes. This you will find
very good. To any OF the above add any
bones remaining from meat used in the house.
Bits of gristle. ETC.. are excellent helps in
making good soup. In carving beef cut off

take care to add it aiterward to your soup.

Hints for the Household.

Vinegar and salt will clean the black crust
off sheet-iron frying pans. but they should be
thoroughly secured afterward with sand
soap or any good securing soap.
If shelves and floors of closets are wiped
with water hot with cayenne pepper. and
afterward sprinkled with borax and alum.
reaches and other vermln are kept at bay.
When the fats in the IRE it is never wise to
throw water upon it. If fat in kettle boils
over and there are ashes convenient to throw
on the blaze, it is the surest, safest way to
put it out.
Steel knives used at table or for cutting
bread, meat or anything for which sharp
knife is needed. should never be used for
stirring or cooking anything in hot grease,
as it makes them very dull
simple plan of disinfecting rooms con-
sists in putting q saucepan of salt in the
middle of the room and pouring ON 1t a
dram or two OF sulphuric acid The fumes
that arise do the work of disinfection.
The chimney of lamp should never be
touched with water. A few drops of alcohol,
or even parafflne oil, will remove the dimmed,
smoky effect and make the chimney as
bright as possible when it is polished with q
soft flannel or chamois skin.

PLAYED A TIE GAME.

Good Practice Work by the Washington
League Coterie of Ball Players.
The Kids and Vets played their second
game yesterday afternoon at National Park.
On Friday the Vets were defeated II to 4, so
yesterday the Kids grew over confident and
offered to play them with eight men. The re-
suit was tie ten-inning game, the first ex-
ira inning game Of the season. All the
pitchers were given a turn in the box. Dug
dale and Selbach did the catching for the
Kids, while Mcclure caught the entire game
for the Vets.
Nearly the entire outfit is over the first
spring soreness, and one more week OF out
door work will put the boys in shape to fight
FOR their lives. The score shows how hard
the game was fought. Following is the

To Make a Bisque of Oysters.

Drain one quart of oysters free from their
liquor, adding enough cold water to the
liquor to make one pint of liquid. Chop half
OF the oysters very fine. Bring the oyster
liquor to a boil: skim; add the chopped
oysters and simmer ten minutes. Scald one
quart OF milk, rub together two tablespoon
fuls of butter and two of flour until smooth:
add to the scaided milk and stir until it
thickens Cook the remaining whole oysters
in the oyster liquor until the edges curl
Have ready the yolk of one egg beaten light,
add to the milk, take at once from the fire.
and add the o. sters with their liquor. Sea-
son with salt and pepper and serve at once.

should be done, using good yellow soap and
little soda to soften the water. Two wash
ings through warm water and thorough
wrnging should precede the boiling.
From the boiler the clothes should be
dropped into tub of clear cold water and
wrung out of that into the blue water.
Whether the clothes are wrung out by hand
or by machine. two people are required TO
wiring them. They should be hung on the
lines in the sunshine and the light will COM
plete the whitening begun by soap and water.
Flanneis should not be soaked. They
should not have soap rubbed on them, but
should be shaken into lather. They should
be washed in tepid instead of very hot or cold
water. They must not be blued. They alone
should be dried indoors. near the fire on days
when drying by sun would be II lengthy pro-
cess.
A few more days and the refrigerator will
be put to even more constant and necessary
use than falls to its lot when the weather is
cold enough to do way with the need of it for
many eatables and drinkables that have only
to be set out of doors TO be kept In perfect
condition. Few duties are more important
than that of keeping the refrigerator abso-
lutely clean and sweet
If the lining breaks at any time it should at
once be mended, or if too badlydamaged should
be discarded. for the water soaking into the
wood means tainted food and certain disease.
Once a week everything should be removed
from it. The shelves should be taken out
and washed in hot soapsuds. after which they
should be scaded in boiling water. The ice
rack should be treated in the same manner
and both when washed should he laid in the
sun until perfectly dry. Run a flexible rod
down the waste pipes, to make certain that
nothing has lodged there.
A thorough housekeeper recommends the
use of washing soda in boiling water to
cleanse the ice compartment being certain
that it is wiped thoroughly dry after this
operation. The other parts of the refriger-
ator can be washed with hot soapsuds. wip-
ing them perfectly dry. After this leave the
doors open for an hour or more and then put
back the food and ice. Warm food should
never be put into the refrigerator. as it
ansorbs the navor of other foods and also
heats the refrigerator. Butter and onions
should never be in the same compartment.
Do the refrigerator cleaning on the day the
ice man is expected, but plan the WORK long
enough ahead of his visit to have the chest
dry when the ice is put into it.
