Household Hints.

Apply castor oil once day TO warts
from two to six weeks and they will
disappear.
Try ordinary grated horseradish for
the removal of the cough which fol.
lows the grip. Eat it at meals and
between meals.
Bread and cake bowls or any dishes
in which flour and eggs have been
used are more easily cleansed if placed
in cold water after using.
Celery may be kept all wiuter by
setting it in boxes filled with earth
and Keeping it in the cellar. The
plant will grow and whiten in the
dark.
If cake is to be baked in sheets and
not to be iced, sprinkle powdered
sugar over it before putting it into the
oven. This will give smooth sugary
crust.
A skewer will be found to be ol
great assistance in sweeping room.
Nothing else can SO thoroughly dig
out deposits of dust from dusky cor

Keep a pair of scissors on u nail in
the kitchen, and do not allow them tc
be taken to any other part of the
house if you have to resort to tying

We ARE PREPARED TO SUPPLY
Gloves.

From Zanzibar, the principal source
of the worlds Glove supply. The
clove-tree was recently introduced into
the islands, and its cultivation is now
their chief industry.
The seeds are planted in long trench
es and kept we'll watered, and In
the course of forty days the shoots ap-
pear above ground. They are carefully
watered and looked after for two years
when they should be about three feet
high. Then they are trausplanted-
about thirty feet apart-and well
watered until they become rooted
From that time they require only ordl'
nary care.
In five or six years they come into
bearing, when they are of the size OF
ordinary pear-trees, and very shapely
Then the young plantation is pretty
sight. The leaves of various shades
of green tinged with red serve to set
off the clusters of dull red Glove
buds.
The limbs of the tree being very
brittle, a peculiar four-sided ladder Is
used. AS fast as the buds are collected,
they are spread in the sun until they
assume a brownish color, when they
are put in the store house ready for
market. A ten-year old plantation
should produce twenty pounds OF
cloves to q tree. Trees OF twenty
years frequently produce upwards OF
one hundred pounds each.
A popularity of the clove-tree is
that every part of it is aromatic,
though the greatest strength is in the
bud. Besides the buds the stems are
gathered, and form an article of COM
merce, commanding one fifth the
price Of cloves and having about the
same percentage Of strength. TO this
is due the fact that ground cloves can
be purchased in the home market at a
lower price than the whole cloves.

New AbbreviatiOn.

A lady tells q story of young man
who had come from the country 10 the
CITY iu which she lived, and in .
short time fancied himself equal to
any social emergency. He never asked
advice upon questions of etiquette,
and in consequence he made many
mistakes. At one time the lady issued
cards to q party, and among the in
vited guests she included this rather
conceited and exceedingly awkward
young man.
He was to be out of town at the date
of the party, and so was unable to
accept the invitation. At the foot OF
the card he read the letters r. S. V.
P, and was much perplexed as to
their meaning. However, he was
nothing daunted by his ignorance,
and wrote note declining the invita-
ton in as formal and stilted terms as
he could command, and after signing
his name, added the letters, M. S.
G.. G.
On his return to the city, after the
party, went to call OH the lady, and in
the course of the conversation asked
"By the way Mrs. Clapp, what did
you mean by r. S. V. P. ut the end Of
the invitation you sent me?'
why" replied the hostess, with
out a note of surprise in her polite
voice, "they stand for the French
phrase, Repondez, sill vous plait-
Answer, if you please"
"Oh, yes! Well, I was all right,
then " said the young man, in tone
of much satisfaction. "I thought ]
should hit it in my answer"
"Now that you speak of it," said
his courteous hostess, do wish to ask
what M. S. G. G.. stands for. [ can't
imagine, and ! can't find any one who
has ever seen the abbreviation used ~
"Oh,n replied her visitor. airily
"that meant Mighty sorry couldn'l
come should think that was plain
enough! !"

How 10 be Really Happy.

remember once listening to q ser
mon preached by DR.. Talmage. 1t is
now twelve years ago, but never for
got one little sentence in it: "Stay
where you're happy" writes Edward
w. Box in all earnest discussion on the
lessons to he learned from the past
years business depression in the
November Ladies' Home Journal. 1t
sounds trite to say that~a contented
mind is a mans ora woman's greatest
possession, hut it is a. true now as the
day it was first uttered. And we
would all he happier if we believed 1t
more than we do. We always show
our own incapacity when we envy the
capacities of others, and this is true OF
other peoples possessions. Let Others
have what they choose and can earn
let us be content with what we have or
can have. The things we want most
iii this world are always those beyond
our reach. If we had them we
wouldn't be particle happier we
only think we would be. No matter
how little we have, we always have
plenty to be thankful for. And be-
cause this passing year has not been as
pleasant and profitable as we might
wish for, is no reason why our Thanks
giving Day should he less festive OIL
indicative of our gratitude. The wors
part of our national depression is gone
and has passed into history. Let US
he content to leave it there. If We
cannot be exactly as thankful as We
might wish for the past year let us b'
grateful for the year before US.

A WOOden.Legged Cow.

A pennsylvania cow rejoices in the
distinction of wooden leg. Having
lost one of her four supporters through
a railroad train which cut it off below
the knee, veterinary surgeon took
the wounded animal in hand, and
through his skill and care her life was
saved. A cabinetmaker completed the
good work by manufacturing a wood
en- leg that seemed to answer every
purpose and, when the stump of the
leg healed, the artificial substitute was
successfully strapped on. AT first the
cow persisted in hopping along on
three legs, and holding the injured one
up from the ground; but before long
she grew tired of this, and cautiously
tried the wooden one. At last ac.
counts she was doing very well with it,
although going about with decided
limp; and she has the proud distinc.
lion of being the only cow in the world
with q wooden leg.-Harper's Young
People.

Sympathy.

A very sweet story is told Of the Prin
cess of Wales concerning the death o
Duke Of Clarence. The princess with
accustomed reticence tried to hide her
grief at the loss of her first born, and
it showed itself only in her failing
health and added thought for those
about her.
While walking near Sandringham
with one of her ladies, she met one
day, an old woman toltering under q
load of bundles. On inquiry it ap.
peared that she made her living by
shopping in the town for the surround
ing country people.
"But the weight is too heavy at your
age" said the princess.
ayes, you're right na'am; I'll have
to give it up and then I'll starve.
Jack carried them for me, my boy,
ma'am."
"And where is he now?n
Jack He's dead Oh, he's Dead"
cried the old woman wildly.
The princess, without a word, hur-
ried away, drawing down her vail to
hide her tears. A few days later a
neat little cart with II stout donke y
were left at the door of the old woman,
who now earns her living comfortably,
but she never knew the rank OF
the friend who made her life
easy for the sake of the dead boy
