vented and the fire was carefully kept
over night in the ashes. If it unfor-
tunately went out it was relighted
by sparks or tinder from the flint and
steel, or by live Goals brought from Il
nelghbor's hearth.
Several vegetables and fruits, now
common, were then unknown, or were
unused as food. Tomatoes, or, as they
were called, "love apples,' were thought
to be poisonous and were cultivated
in the flower garden only for the beau
ty Of the bright red fruit. Rhubarb,
sweet corn, canteloupes, head-lettuce,
and all the newer and finer varieties of
peas, and grapes, peaches, etc., have
enriched the diet of later generations.
The fox grape, which we consider a
sour, ill-havored fruit, was then a lux
ury to be obtained only by the well-to-
do. Ice in summer was unheard of,
and the careful housekeeper cooled
her butter by hanging it in pail down
in the WE'LL Geraniums and verbenas
were not seen in the flower gardens of
our great-grandmothers, who deligted
their eyes with hollyhocks, sunfowers,
lilacs, pinks, sweet williams, peonies,
etc.
Narrow beds of these "posies" bor-
dered the path leading from the house
down throu ,h the little front yard,
which was carefully fenced off from
the portion of the premises to which
ordinary people had access. The front
yard, the front door, and the best room
were all considered too good for every
day use.
There were no wheeled carriages or
wagons until the middle of the eigh-
teenth century, and but few until after
the Revolution. Everybody went on
foo, or on horseback, as his means per-
mit.ed, and the bridegroom, gentleman
or workman who sought wife in a
distant town, rode on horsebak and
brought home his bride on pillion be-
hind him.
So little travel was there in those
days, that journey that now attracts
no attention, then made one an object
of public curiosity. So late as 1895 it
is stated tha' a person who had been
across the oc IAN was pointed out on
the streets as 81 man who had been to
Europe"

"BE T IVEEN you AND l."

What in the world is to be done with
those otherwise good people who per-
sisr, in ,nversation, in using 81" and
"he'' in the objective? Most of tn ,se
people know better, though some of
them are college graduates; but they
go on saying will you 60 with Dick
and 1 to the Symphony" and even, "It
was between you and l." though they
would never, of course, say, will you
go with I?' The number of people who
use this solecism is apparently increas-
ing. Public school teaches it, and the
sound of it is not altogether unfamiliar
in what is called good society, though
''me and him did it" is not a whit more
ungrammatical than ''between yoa and
I.'' Evidently some people use the
phrase without knowing that they do
it; but why should they? Still other
people, who have been taught that
dllu I'LL WCuU 10 uOU COIICCG,
norantly suppose that "between you
and me" is also ungrammatlcal. In this
case, of course, the mistake is due to
pule ignorance, and no one can CON-
plain Of it, because ignorance is gener-
ally misfortune rasher than a fault.
But when people who have been to
school use the nominative case in the
objective, and say 'between you and
l." or 81 will let you and he know"
one feels like protecting some conven-
lent article of furniture at them. Pei
haps some form of violence will have
to be resorted to in order to break up
'he practice.
Too close iEbreeding is sapping the
foundation of health, hardness, growth,
vigor and fecundity in breeding stock.
In some cases inbreeding to some ex-
tent is advisable, but generally the SAT-
est plan is to avoid it.

Her daughter gave her vicious kick
under the table, while the faces of those
who had heard her remarks turned
deathly pale, and they wondered; they
had never heard that mamma was a
drinking woman who sometimes took
too much and said strange things.
Il never saw cook who could cut
any sort of a figure with the cook we
have here,' mamma went on; ssshe's
got a lead-pipe cinch on the ART of

on whom light was beginning to break,

another slangy word just as long as I

CURE FOR SLANG.

An instance came to the notice Of the
Boston Journal where Bostonese wo-
man--Ibsen, club spectAcles and the
whole business had observed With con-
siderable trepidation growing predi-
lection in her daughter for slang. Re-
monstrances had been in vain. Slang
phrases which this young lady had pick
ed up-heaven knows where-slipped
glibly off her ton que, and mamma had
listened with gasping and unutterable
looks.
1t got to that point where mamma
simply couldn't stand it any longer,
and, as p!eadings were useless, she re-
solved on heroic treatment. She thought
that a properly administered like cures
like-a kind of homeopathic treatment
would prove most effective, and with
that end in view she procured several
slang dictionaries and gave the subject
careful study.
They boarded at fashionable and
very select boarding house, and one day,
while at dinner, she started in with her
homeopathic treatment for slang
"Don't you think this soup is pretty
good. dear:?' mamma innocently asked
"Yes, awfully good" the daughter
cheerfully acquiesced.
Coat of sight, isn't it:?' mamma au-
daciously SAID.
"What'' the daughter exclaimed a
ghast.
Il say it's out of sight, catch on?"
mamma said in an aggrieved tone,
seeming greatly surprised that her
daughter should fail 10 grasp her mean
ing.
The daugh er gasped for breath and
drank some water to relieve her embar-
raSSment.
I'll kick II lung out of thit waiter
if he don't get hustle on with my Or
der" mamma declared.
The words rippled trippingly off her
tongue, as though she had been used to
using slang all her life. Her daugh-
ter was so red in har face that the
boarder who sat next to her felt the
heat.
ooh, here comes the waiter,' mamma
said, as that functionary appeared la
den with eatables. "Ie's hot in the
collar" she added.

MEETING HIS MATCH.

"Ah! How d y do? Just come up
to the city, l suppose?" asked the bun
ko steerer as he cordially extended his
hand to the simple old farmer who was
stumbling along with the crowd COM
ing of the ferryboat at the foot of Lib
ertY street.
"Waal, waal! Is this you? I'm mighty
glad ter see yer!' replied the farmer,
with evident recognition.
''Glad to see you," said the bunko
man, little puzzled. elbow are all
the folks:?'
"First class"
"Crops been good?'
"Middlin tolerable."
"Here on business, suppose
"Yaas. l wanter collect some mon
ey frum man I've been shippin taters
to fer spell back"
"Then, of course, you want to get
business off your mind first. So we'll
60 and collect your money, and then I
want you to come and have a nice lit
tie lunch with me, Mr.-er-Warner,"
hazarded the bunco man.
"My name amt Warner exclaimed
the farmer IN astonishment.
"What! Aren't you my old friend
Deacon Warner of Redclay Center?'
"No, bean't!"
81 am surprised! l recognized your
face and your voice, and l don't see
how could be mistaken
'Waal, it do beat al that you don't
remember me, Mr.. Flasher. Don't you
recollect ole 81 Humsted, who boarded
you and yer wife and children out at
Skeetertown last summer and took you
all in and treated you like one of the
family? Why, my wife was speakin
about you last night, and saYin what
nice, pleasant people you was, and how
she hoped you'd cum out and stay with
us this year, and"-
But the bunko man had fed. He
suddenly remembered that the honest
old farmer could give him points ia
his own business.

ONE TEAR THE LESS
ONE SMILE THE MORE.

If you have caused one tear the less
Down Sorrows cheek to flow:
If you have caused one smile the more
On any face to glow:
Then, friend, you have not lived in vain,
For whereso'er you stray
Through Learning's walks, or Labor's paths,
Or Troubles tangled way,
You shall have this bright thought to cheer,
This m nmory to bless,
That you have caused one smile the more
And one sad tear the less.
It's sweet t, have the things we priza,
Ahd sweet to be content
With whatsoever lot in life
The Gracious Powers have SEN:
But sweeier far to feel and know
That kindly word or deed
May help through seas of care and woe,
Some soul in direst need.
When those brave men who stlti)ned ale
On many rock bound shore,
Put out, at perils of their lives,
Where billows rage and roar,-
If they buS save from Deaths col grasp
One half-lrowned shipwrecked man,
They feel repaid for all their toll,
And all the risk they ran,
And thus, if we, by timely aid,
Rendered with loving care,
Can save one sad and sinking heart
From surges of despair,
Kind Heaven will smile upon our task
And every effort bless,
If we but cause one smile the more
And one sad tear lrop less.

WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE.

How shall you know when you're in love-
When Cupid's dart
HIS pierced your heart?
Why, when the days to brighten seem,
And sorrows like a distant dream.
When every wind that stiIs tree
Seems bat to breathe loves melo ly.
And every brook that flows along
Sings to your soul sweet love song.
When carol, Of blithesoma bird
To your souls depths are clearly heard.
When every hDwer that mods its head.
Loves language in the nod is real.
When every star that shines at night
Doth twinkle love to bless your sight.
When lying on your couch to sleep,
Loves pinions DER you softly sweep.
When all the worlds at peace with you,
if not in fact stil seems it true.
ithese and more tells that you love-
That Cupid s dart
Has pierced your heart.
