A Little Boy For Sale

A mother wa busy at work one day.
When Nas dear little boy, with his toys,
Ran in fro n his play, as bright as May,
With all OF his traps and noise.
s'You make such din" she said TO him,
While he work'd with his tools, his joys;
oI'I put you to bed or I'll sell you," she
said,
"To the man who buys little boye."
A little boy for sale;
A llttle boy for sale
The price Is so low you can buy him, know
My little boys for sale;
A little boy for sale;
A little boy for sale;
He makes so much noise with his hammer
and toys,
My little boy for sale.
The dear little boy was quiet one day
lie had laid his toys aside.
The mother had ceased her work to pray;
"oa, Lord with me abide;"
As she sits by the bed other curly head,
A soft sweet song she sings;
when out Of the gloom of that small, quiet
room
Comes the rustic OF angels wings.
There's no little boy for sale
There's no little boy for sale;
He was bought by the love Of the Father
above
There's no little boy for sale;
There's no little boy for sale.
There's no little boy for sales
He was bought by the love Of the Father
above,
There's no little boy for sale

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
HINTS ABOUT THE TABLE.

For good meal OF several courses,
it is no longer good form to lay the
knives, forks and spoons that are to be
used at each cover at the beginning Of
the meal. No more than four sets are
placed at first; say, the oyster fork,
the soup spoon, the fish knife and
fork for the first relieve of meat. Other
eating implements are added with
each course that follows. This plan
prevents embarrassment to the guest
who is not used to sixteen courses, and
does not forestall the appetite OF ono
who is. St. Louis Star Sayings.

TO CLEAN ECRU LACE.

To clean ecru lace, which has be-
come too dusty and soiled for further
use, give it dry bath in -four. About
quart of flour should be put into
bowl, the lace dipped into it, and then
rubbed and squeezed with the hands
as If the -four were water. After it
has received good shaking. it will
look as fresh and good as ever. Lace
should never be ironed, for by so do
ing, it is robbed of its fine appearance.
Black lace may be revived, and saved
from the "rusty" look that is wont to
come with wear, by washing it in equal
quantities OF milk and water.

KEEP TO ONE BREED.

There is no need for the average
farmer to go in for thoroughbred
fowls. The desired results can be
obtained by buying every year the
necessary number of thoroughbred

TURKEYS BOOSTING on TREES.

Turkeys are so little removed from
their wild state that they will
not bear confinement as we'll as other
kinds of domestic fowls. In all our
experience, when they are about half
grown, it was impossible, except by
closing it, to keep them in the hen
house at night. They have an ire
sistible propensity to roost on trees.
We believe it is generally better for
them to do so, at least while warm or
moderate weather continues. In the
trees they are free from the vermin
which will almost always be found in
hen houses in hot weather. The more
active varieties of barnyard fowls
often roost on trees in the summer.
1t is the older ones which mostly do
this, and if they cannot be brought to
the henhouse by the time cold weather
comes it is better to mark them for
the butcher. Hen houses in summer
are usually too close. The air is bad,
and in hot weather it is far more
pleasant and we believe better for all
full-grown fowls to roost out of doors.
Usually cold weather will make most
of them willingly roost in the hen
house again. Boston Cultivator.

WATER FROM A SPRING.

II is quite easy to raise water from
spring as much as eighteen feet be-
low the level of building, and ninety
feet from it, by an ordinary well-made
pump. The pipe need not be more
than one inch in diameter, ms this will
supply as large a quantity of water as
any house or stable or barn will re-
quire. To avoid freezing in the pipe
it should be laid below the surface out
OF reach of frost, and the pump should
be set over dry we'll six or more feet
deep. The water should be drawn of
from the pump by making small
hole in the pipe far enough below the
surface to prevent freezing. A check
valve should be placed at the lower
end of the pipe, in the spring, to re-
tain the water in the pipe. New

EFFECT OF FOOD ON THE FLEECE.

EFFECT OF FOOD ON THE FLEECE.
To obtain wool of good quality and
proper quantity the sheep should be
we'll fed. Tue increase of the wool in
length and resistance comes to q stop
if the animal be deprived of the amount
of food necessary for it. Well-fed
sheep pay for the increased expense by
the weight of the fleece and the better
quality of the wool.
There is, however, an essential diff
ference to be noted in long-wooled
sheep. To much and too rich makes
the wool of the short-wooled sheep
too long, an inconvenience which has
not to be feared in long -wooled varie-
ties. When the sheep receives little
food, or when that food given in sufii-
cient quantities is not sufficiently
nutritive, the wool preserves its fine
ness and acquires certain length,
but its resistance fails. 1t is deprived
of grease, which makes it weak, harsh

ALMOST PARTED.
by FERN GREENLEAF.

'If Colin Delorme would only fall
in love with and marry Miss Camp
bell, how nice it would bel" said
stout, good-natured Mrs. Gay to her
companion in a loud aside.
For her-yes," was the curt reply.
''He is wealthy enough in any case
but what would half of old Campbell's
property be for one brought up as
che has been? I hear the place is
mortgaged heavily, and the old man
lost by speculation before he died; so
his niece is not the heiress we fancied.
Yes, it would be a very lucky thing
for her if Colin Delorme should ask
her to marry him, and 1 have no
doubt she would jump at the chance.
Madame" said clear voice at the
woman's chair, which made her start
and glance hastily at the fair young
face above her madame, you honor
myself and my affairs too greatly"
Voice and face belonged to the girl
of whom they had been speaking,
Honor Campbell; and as the gossip
'stammered forth some sort of apology.
she turned and glided from the room,
every pulse in her body quivering
with anger, wounded pride, and per-
haps far keener pain.
Why had she allowed herself to be
coaxed into appearing among the
guests OF her cousin, to W HON the old
man laid so recently in his grave was
nothing, while to her he had been
dear as father?
Why had she brought her mourning
robes and her mourning heart forth
from retirement, even when friends
pleaded with her to do SO?
And they thought her poor enough
''to jump at the chance" of marrying
Colin Delorme, because he was to
share her uncle's possessions with her,
and had wealth of his own-Colin
iDelorme. with his frank, handsome
face and his cherry voice, and his
heart of gold, which any living woman
might prize more than the crown of
king!
How heartless and material people
were she told herself, as she went
hurriedly out of the little garden,
which sloped down to sheltering
spot-a dell often visited by her.
In the path, with its checkered
light. she came face to face with the
object of her thoughts Colin Del :
.orme.
"How pale you are, Honor, "he said
to her, looking with eyes the tender
est Of which she did not see, into her
young face. "Are you ill ?"
"rhank you--no,"
"Then let me tell you what I've
been thinking of. Honor, our uncle
divided all he had between us. Let
us make no division, dea-and let us
join our lives and leave the old place
as it is. Do you think could make
you happy as my wife, Honor, my
darling. I would try hard. think
Icould succeed. Will you risk your
life in my hands ? Honor, you are
as white as death. Have startled

BIG SLEEVES VALUABLE.
As Life Preservers for Maidens Who
Daily with the Surf.

For some time the hearts OF the sum-
mer girls have been torn by the appar-
ent irrepressible conflict between the
prevailing style of puff sleeves and the
bathing dress Now, it is a well-known
! fact, that sea garments must take on
a certain slightly modified form, the
characteristics of land habiliments.
! This stern edict was carried out in re-
| gard to bathing. But the result was
lamentable says Cleveland World. If
the dress really got into the water
/ and, in spite of the funny photogra-
piers. some of the dear girls do get wet
down would come the proud fabric
| of the sleeves with a cOmical result.
Then somebody devised a sort of wire
| birdcage arrangement, and it became
very popular on land. When the sea
tOyed with it, however, the effect was
funnier than before. Now rises a
Brooklyn genius who has invented a
rubber balloon affair which is to be in
flated and put inside OF each big sleeve.
The really useful part of the things are
that they viii act perfectly the part of
life preseryers, and the fair maiden who

stoned the royal carpenter to construct
4 series of stocks in which he placed

when the s0les of their feet were struck
by the rod were so carefully arranged
that they made a perfect octave. This
seemed such a success that he had
second frame constructed for the feet
of eight more wretches whose average
groans ranged a full octave higher.
The harp was now complete. On it he
proposed to play melodies and started
in to practice the national air. His prof.
ect was to regulate the length Of the
note by the violence of the blow. At
first the scheme did not succeed at all,
for the reason that the captives, hith-
crtO used to hard hits alone, howled
loudly each time. and with little differ
eEce in force. At last ne arranged it,
however. so that the gr0aDs became
proportioned to the blows. But the in
