LITTLE COWBOY.
ALBERT J. FOREST

About fifty years ago a little boy
lived on the eastern side of the Con,
necticut river in Massachusetts,, near
the New Hampshire line.
His father was one day stricken
down with ~apoplexy, and died sud-
denly. His poor widow had nine chill
dren to clothe and feed. 1t was a sad
home, with no father to get bread for
so many hungry mouths. How was
the poor mother to keep her little flock
together9 She had a brave heart and
struggled on as best she could.
The children were brave too. One
of them named Dwight, when but six
years old, went off on his own accord
and agreed with a Mr.. Alexander to
drive four or five COWS to and from
his pasture on the mountain side, a
distance of more than half a mile, for
a cent a day and did it all the season,
except some rainy days, when his
brother George, who was some five
years older, and worked out for twelve
and a half cents a day, drove them for
him.
Dwight had no trouble about driving
the COWS, though the farmers son,
who did the milking, used to shake
him up some times for routing him out
too early in the morning.
God took care of the mother and the
children; and the little cowboy who
was up and about business in the
morning is known all over the world
as Dwight L. Moody, whose home and
and seminary are near the place where
he was born, and near where he, a
barefooted boy, drove the COWS for a
cent a day so many years ago.

DOMESTIC SUGGESTIONS.

LIVER CRoQUETTEs.- Bake a Calls
liver on a piece of brown paper the
day before. When cold cnop fue,
season with salt, pepper and juice of
an onion. Add one welL-beaten egg
and two heaping tablespoons cracker
meal. Form into croquetts and fry in
hot butter.
STUFFED POTATOES. Bake eight or
ten potatoes. When done cut in halves.
Take out inside lightly with fork. add
salt, pepper, one tablespoon of butter,
some chopped parsley and a little hot
milk. Put back in skins and heap
higher. Put in oven until light brown
on top.
RICE AND APPLEs.-Core as many
nice apples as will fill a dish; boil them
in light syrup. Prepare one-quarter
of a pound of rice in milk with sugar
and salt, put some of the rice in the
dish, and put in the apples; then fill
up the intervals with rice, and bake it
in the oven until it is a fine color.

stout loops are sewed on the top to
hang it by.
Sometimes the contents Of each pock-
ct are designated by strips of wide
white tape or cotton stitched to each
pocket and marked in bold letters,
white or black cotton, black silk,
coIored silk, black ribbon, colored rib
bons, tape, cord, ~Whalebones, hooks
and eyes, buttons, rings, thread, braid,
embroideries, laces, mending cotton,
etc, etc. It takes a little time to ar
range all these details, and Of course
the tapes should be sewed to the pock-
cts before the long strips r put on.
But the convenience is very great, and
the catch all, with proper care, viii
last many years. Instead of wonder
ing whether you have any more hooks
and eyes, or where you left those
pieces of braid, or the stray whale
bones, you have only to open the door
and there they are within easy reach.
OF course the model housekeeper
may not need a catch-all, but it is not
for her that I am writing.-Helen Nor
ton, in American Agriculturist.

VIRTUES OF GOOSE GREASE,

LIE Symes has called attention to the
merits OF this ancient and honorable
household remedy in the columns of
the "D0plin Journal of Medical
science" We quote the following: A
gentleman was suffering withinfuenza
Oh a chronic type. He was v i'll
enough to stay in bed, and scarcely
wen enough to stay out, He lad q
"ry' hacking cough for many days,
ana very little secretion was expelled
from his lungs, in which was lodged a
small quantity of viscid exudation.
With the aid OF suitable internal re-
NEEDLES, he gained ground very SLOWLY
A liniment of camphor and ammonia
was prescribed, but it did not help
him very much. Goose grease was
added and at once it's effect became ap-
parent. In a day or two, feeling much
better, he ommitted the use of the
oil, and he became worse; but after re-
peating the applications great benefit
followed. A second and third time he
omitted the grease and the cough and
the distress returned, but they were
rapidly removed after another ap-
plication of the oil. The patient is
convinced Of its efficacy, and attrib-
utes his recovery mainly to it's specific
action on his chest. Of it's penetrating
qualities, says DIR. Symes, there is no
doubt. He has seen it remove muscu.
lar rheumatism in a marked way rub
bed in. Thickening near the joints
after sprains or subacute rheumatic
Inflammation will be greatly benefited
by its use. Another affection in which
the author has seen marked benefit re
suit from its employment is in wasting
or marasmus. When rubbed into the
abdomen and groins of young children
it is a decided nutrient, and experience
has convinced him of it's efficacy when
employed in this way. 1t can be eaten
on bread, with salt, and, if freshly
prepared, is very palatable and nu.
tritious. AS a further illustration of
it's powers, he says, sportsmen affirm
that it is not a good thing to be too
literally applied to guns, as it is far
too penetrating, ''eating or worming
it's way" into every crevice. 1t much
exceeds lard in efficacy, and it posses
ses greater permeating qualities
than vegetable oils.

IN HASTE.

A Chicago dispatch tells a pretty lit
lie romance in the following words:
won't you always tuck my hand
kerchiefs in my pocket for me9" said
Nathan Ladon, of Menominee, Wis,
to-day, as he looked down at pretty
Mary Frank, manager of Siegel,
Cooper & Co.'s handkerchief counter,
who was coyly poking a bit of blue
bordered linen which he had just pur-
chased into the breast pocket of his
coat.
"Why, I should be glad to sell you
handkerchief at any time" said Miss
Frank, blushing furiously and pre-,
tending not to understand.
mo, that isn't the idea," responded
Mr.. Landon, Il want to buy your
handkerchiefs for you all the rest of
your life. May II"
"Well, I-I-guess you may" re-
piled Mary, continuing to blush.
Tnat settled it. Miss Frank took off
her apron, and went upstairs and told
her employers she would have to leave
for she had received a better offer"
Mr.. Ladon, who is a wealthy dry
goods merchant of Menominee, impa-
tiently awaited her temperance, and
on her return the couple at onces started
for the Office of the county clerk,
where they were married.

HOW TO RAISE CHILDREN.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
NV opinion is that mothers are too
INDECENT nowadays. Perhaps I didn't
think so when I was growing up and
getting a good spanking several times
a week-probably not half as much as
1 deserved-but I think so now.
Hundreds of thousands of children are
growing up now without any evidence
of parental training. They are rude,
uncouth, and often really repugnant
to the eye. This certainly is more
noticeable now than it was forty years
ago.
Mothers are largely to blame. They
are not always careless, they do not
approve of the course pursued by their
children. But they are too indulgent.
Parents, and especially mothers, ought
to use the rod and cary out the Scrip
tural injunction. The male members
of the household firm Of John Smith
and wife has a due amount of respon
siblity in this matter, but he is gener-
ally Oub VI GuO AOuSO q SAOOg NOO4 VI
the time and it falls upon the mother
to form a court martial and .inhlct
punishment when the home laws are
violated. Too often the mother is
tender hearted. She loves her off
spring devotedIy, but not enough to
punish them for disobedience. She
threatens severe punishment time and
again, but relents and the child is
spoiled-Ioses confidence in the prom
ises or threats of it's own mother, and
then trouble begins.
Another class of mothers, or another
grade of the same class, threaten Ito
tell papa" when the children are rude
but she fears that papa will whip Tom
mie OF Henry, as the cas- may be, and
w tells papa. Tommie soon learns
that his mother will not use the rod
herself and breaks her promise to tell
father, consequently Tommie goes
through the world with his hide In
tanned.
Parental punishment must be in
ficted in the proper spirit, in a reason
able manner, and at the right time,
but it is as necessary as bread and
meat-almost, and should begin early,
and nine times out of ten the boy or
girl thus treated will need but little
hickory tea" by the time he or she is
twelve years of age.

HoUsRKERPER's CONVENIENCE.

One of the most useful articles that
a busy house mother al possibly have
is a great square case of bags to be
tackled on the inside of a closet door
and filled with the dozens of small
things which she is constantly using
and for which some ho~usekeepers are
obliged to make long search when
needed. The shape may be varied to
suit the taste. A very simple one is
made of fine striped bed-ticking, OBJ
long in shape, just large enough to fit
comfortably inside the door on which
it is to hang. On the large piece, which
we may call the background, is ar,
ranged a series of pockets in rows, the
bottom strip being at least IL inches
wide and about 6 inches longer than
the width of the large pieces. Fasten
this strip on by cat,stitchIng it down
with dark blue linen floss, making the
stitches rather short to render it sc,
cure The pockets on the lower strip
are generally made the largest of the
series, for in these are placed the
largest articles. Two inches space is
sufficient to allow between this and the
next strip, which is also divided into
small pockets and fastened down in
the same way with the floss, and go
on, but the top row should not be
placed too high for convenience IN
reaching.
When all the strips are hemmed,
and, if you please, cat-stitched OF
bound across the top with dark blue
braid, the strips are laid in place and
stitched to the background by ma
chine, and the whole piece is bound
around with the blue braid. Three
