But the temptation was too great for us and we yielded. We bought what large manufacturer had lett over after filling his seasons orders. over 5000 worth. and have devided it into three lots. One for our Norwich store, one for Lawrence and the other here. We thought of holding ours for big profit. as we bought it at one-third and in some cases one half oil. but we need the room and therefore offer it without reserve at very little above cost If you don't require it for present use buy it and pack it away. You can easily afford to do it. You would save more than by putting the money in the savings bank.

shfpbu1lding in England.

Shipbuilding in the United King
dom during 1894 showed an increase of
nearly 100000 tons over 1898, although
it does not attain the average of the
years preceding. Steamers were built
aggregating 966,219 tons, and sailing
vessels JOG, 1884 tons; this represents 795
vessels in all. The proportion of steam
ers to sailing vessels, which is steadily
increasing every year, is now 90.18 pei
cent. During the year marine engines
were built with total of 81. 616 horse
powre. The marked feature of con.
struction was the effort to obtain enor-
nous capacity for limited gross ton
mage, with a pineknot speed on min
imum coal consumption. This economy,
Engineering thinks, has been carried
beyond the danger point, as such en-
gines are unable to hold fully laden
ship up to gale.

Fire Service in Russia.

In a Russian village there is not
even such an organization rs we pos
sess in this country in the small volun-
teer companies. In their stead is a log
stable with matched roof containing
an old-fashioned pump and three casks
mounted on wheels. These are kept
filed with water, and each is drawn
by q single horse.
The horses are the property Of the
commune, and they are kept lethered
outside the cabin, ready for duty at
moments notice. A place is also set
apart in the hut for the muzhik who
serves as Waterman, an office that is
held, turn by turn, by the inhabitants
of the township The location selected
for the cabin is as near as possible to
the residence of the pristay, or the dis
trict captain of the police, and upon
an alarm of fire he drives to the scene
in his telega at the head of the pro
cession of carts and peasants.

Apple and Potato Crates.

One of the most successful potato
growers in the United States harvests
all his potatoes into bushel crates, pill
ing them upon a tWo-horse wagon until
fully loaded. when they are drawn di-
rectly from the field to market or to
the railroad to be loaded upon the cars,
or to the cellar to be stored for later
market. The advantage in the use Of
such crates is obvious. They afford a
receptacle into which potatoes can be
picked from the ground and be car
ried to the cart, and as the crate is set
into the cart and an empty crate taken,
there is no bruising of the tubers, as
when poured several times into and
out of baskets in getting them from
the field to their destination. The same
advantage has even more force in the
case Of gathering apples, which should
be handled as little as possible to pre-
serve the keeping qualities Of the fruit.
OF course, a large number Of crates is
required where ones potato field or
orchard is extensive. but Well-made
crates once provided will last almost
a lifetime, and become better and bet
ter appreciated the longer they are

Onenine court with Prayer.

One of the learned justices of the
Maine Supreme Court, than whom no
man better knows how to appreciate a
really amusing thing, was holding court
at Ellsworth, and, according to hon
ored custom, called in a local clergyman
to open the session with a supplication
to heaven. This worthy gentleman
came, and after chat with the justice
proceeded to address the giver of all
good and perfect things thus: al
mighty God, we beseech Thee to be-
stow upon the presiding justice the wis
dom which he so greatly needs!' 1t Is
said that the same judge once opened
court after prayer which began this
way: ''Oh, Lord, we pray Thee to
override the decisions of the court to
Thine own honor and glory.'-Bangor

Household Hints.

A sprinkling of sulphur wherever red
ants appear will disperse them.
Stains of apples, peaches and pears
on linen will often yield to bath Of
kerosene. Soak for six hours.
A wine glass full of strong borax
water in a pint of starch will make
collars and cuffs glossy and stiff.
When you give sick people raw oy-
sters cut off the tough part and giTe
them only the eye" 1t is digestible
and palatable. Never season highly for
a sick person.
A woman who ought to know says
that egg shells burned to a dark brown
in the oven and crushed quite fine will
keep all kinds of bugs away when
sprinkled on pantry shelves.
There is really a use for old lemon
skins. After squeezing free from juice
thet are used TO clean old brass and
copper. Rub them with soap and then
dip in fine ashes or polish. Rub dry
with a wooden cloth or a piece of cha
moiS.
A carpet may be cleaned by wipinG it
off with a sponge wet in water to which
a tablespoonful of ttrpcntine has been
added This should be done about once
n month, after the carpet has been thor
oughly swept, and it will keep 1t
bright and fresh-looking.

To Use the Left-Overs.

To utilize cold Johnny cake, cut the
squares in two as you would a cold
biscuit, and toast on a griddle.
Stale biscuits can be cut in three
slices each, and Drowned in the oven
for crisps, which are relishcd for
breakfast
Stale crackers which taste old can
be made fresh by putting them on tin
in the oven and shaking them often
until they heat through.
Bits of cold turkey or chicken cut
from the bones, hashed fine, and
warmed in little gravy, is very nice
when served on slices of toast.
Soak for two hours about Il pint of
bread crumbs i'll milk enough to cover
the bread; then beat the yellls of two
eggs, add sugar to sweeten, the grated
rind and juice of lemon, two table
spoonfuls of desiccated cocoanut; bake
an hour in slow oven. After it is
done, beat the whites of the two eggs
and sweeten, frost the pudding and re-
turn it to the oven to slightly brown
the frosting. Serve warm.

To Prepare Light Rolls.

A quick way of preparing light rolls
for breakfast is to take pan of bakers
rolls, even if they are two or three days
old will not matter, and sprinkle them
well with cold water. Fut them in a
deep pan in the oven and turn another
pan oyer them, so that they will steam
for few moments, five, perhaps, then
remove the pan and let the rolls be sub
Ject to a good heat for another ten min
utes longer, if the rolls are very thick.
Just before removing, butter the tops
and let them crisp little If the oven
seems to cook the crust too fast, put a
paper over the rolls, and they will steam
without browning. This is an excellent
way, also, Of freshening up a loaf Of
stale bread. Steam the loaf over pot
of boiling water for ten minutes, and
then put it in a moderate oven for
half an hour with paper over it.

Baked Apples.

Choose good-sized, fair apples, Of a
tart and juicy kind Wash and rub
clean. Put them in a shallow earthen
dish with water to cover the bottom OF
the dish; this should be renewed as nee
essary. Put them in a slow oven, which
may increase in warmth so that they
shall be thoroughly done in an hour.
White sugar sifted over them when ia
ken from the oven improves their ap-
pearance. For many persons cream is
pleasant addition. The skin and core
should be carefully separated and not
eaten. Pare sour apples, remove the
cores and fill the cavities with sugar.
Place in a bean crock or other deep
dish and add water to cover the bottom.
A paper may be tied over the top to pre-
vent burning; they should be baked in
a moderate oven.

The true science of sweeping the most
untidy room is to do it with a stout par
Tor broom and raise not so much as "a
sneeze of dust" No matter whether a
carpet or mating or nice wood mosaic
is the floor covering, the work can be
accomplished with absolute neatness
and dispatch by laying a band of we'll
damDened sawdust along one side of
the floor and sweeping this over and
over clear across the apartment. The
sawdust quickly ticks up every mote
and bit of lint which the room sets
stirring before it has time to float off
Tito the air and so protects furniture
and the sweeper as well. Such a pro-
cess can be carried on in a sick room
without the least Inconvenience, and
in this event, or where nurseries, or
school rooms are cleaned, it is wise to
sprinkle little disinfectant in the saw
dust. When the work is done carefully
gather it all in dustpan and toss it
Tito the kitchen fire, burning it between
meals.-NeW York Sun.

Notes.

If you are not ready to make the hot

have supply. 1t must be free from lit
ter of any kind.
An Australian breeder is trying for n
flock of black sheep by using only black
ewes with a black ram, rejecting iii

Early blowing kills the cutworlnS,
and that is very important matter, as
the cutworms will sometimes cut down
young plants as soon as they appear
above ground Cutworms entail an
enormous amount of extra labor OH
farmers every season.
Beets, carrots and parsnips should be
seeded early after the frost is out of the
ground. Pillow the land as soon as it
can be done, and harrow it down until
very fine Seeds of carrots and parsnips
will not terminate if the land is full of
clods or Jumps. A fine soil is import
ant.
Straw is not very highly relished hv
stock, and sheep care but little for it.
The cattle, however, will sometimes eat
quite a proportion of straw, as it af-
fords change of food. Cut up fine
and mixed with other foods, with
ground grain added, it may be made 10

The light brahmas, the largest and
most popular fowls we have, are often
the most profitable. The main profit,
however. lies in the number of chickens
raised from eggs. They will produce
more weight at eight months of age

form it will take twice the time to pillow
that it does in the other, to say nothing
of the serious tramping which the

ALWAYS IN A HURRY.
BIZ. jenkins Proved Tt by the Lady,
the Barber and the Tramp.

BIZ. jenkins Proved 1t by the Lady,
the Barber and the Tramp.
Mr.. Jenkins was always in a hurry.
1t CALLED him to have to wait for any
thing. A delay of even a few seconds
in getting change drove him into a
passion. He always would walk down
town rather than wait for street car
if the car was not in sight when he
was ready to go. 1t gave him nervous
prostration if the railroad train he
wanted to take was five minutes late
But the worst trial of his life was the
necessity of having to wait his turn at
the barber shop. That he regarded as
a clear waste of time He would try
every scheme to get into the shop at
time when no one else was there.
Often in desperation he would spend
an hour hurrying from one shop to
another in the hope of finding one
where he could be next Unfortu-
nately, however, his fayorite barber
was also the favorite of a good many
other men, and he often had to bide
his time in patience, or rather ilnpa-
tience, though it made a great strain
on his nervous system.
He started to enter the shop the 9TH
er evening, and as he peered through
the dCesr he saw to his delight that the
barber at the eleventh chair had no
victim. He Rugged himself over his
unusual luck, says the Buffalo EX-
press. His hand was on the door
knob, but just at that moment a wom-
ans scream rang out close at hand.
A tramp had accosted her With plea
for nickel-for- a-night' s-lodging, and
when she attempted to brush past him
had snatched at her purse. She was
clinging to it pluckily and screaming
for help. The street was deserted.
Mr.. Jenkins was the only man around
way, which probably had embOldened
the tramp to make the ASA alt.
Mr.. jenkins took in the situation at
glance. He was a chivalrous man.
His first impulse was to rush to the
rescue of the woman. But as he was
starting to do so the thought of the va
cant chair came back to him. What
was he to do? If he stopped to help
the woman some one else might slip
into the shop and then he would have
to wait for his shave. He took a step
toward the struggling couple. Then he
turned and stepped back the other
way He whirled himself around three
or four times in sheer desperation of
indeciSion.
Then a bright idea came to him.
Springing into the middle of the side
walk, he waved his arms and shouted:
''Wait just a minute, madame!
Please hold on a second or two, Mr..
Tramp! II be there as quick as I get
shaved. I'm next and it won't take
ten minutes. Just postpone your af-
fair till | get through
And with that he bolted into the bar
Der shop, and dropping into the va
cant chair exclaimed excitedly: "Dou-
BILE tip if you'll let me out quick. I've
got to rescue a lady from a highway
man as soon as [ get through here"

To Make Poultry Pay.


Fifteen years ago | tried fancy poul-
try raising, and, like all beginners,
wanted too many kinds, and kept add
ing to my stock until had twelve va
rieties, and almost made a failure, as
did not then understand how. Some
kind and experienced friend said to
me: "Quit all but two kinds; give
them all the attention you have given
the twelve and scatter them. Have
small ones away from the young. Feed
them separately, make Them roost in
separate places, haveall roosting- places
movable, and once a week turn the
roosts over and coal-oil them; clean up
the houses and boxes once week the
year through. Give a variety of food
corn, wheat, oats, barley, DuckWheat
and table crumbs; also fresh gravel,
crushed bone and green feed the year
through; good clover hay once a week
in the houses in the winter. Quit the
soft, fancy feeding, and give them
sensible care and make a success of
the business" The poultry business
is the largest industry on earth. 1t
supports more people, more people are
engaged in it, more papers and jour-
nails are devoted to it's exclusive inter
est than any other in the whole world.
Hard times will come now and then,
as we all know; then the poultry indus
try fourishes, as the people turn to
that to make living and improve
their stock. Pay close attention to
the details and find, instead of a lag
ging monotony, as some suppose, that
it is the largest, safest and best bust
ness in the whole world.-Breeders'

ADsorptive Power of Soils.

The greater prevalence Of drOughts
Jas the country grows older is partly
spwing to the fact that soils long Guilt
zHfed do not hold water rs they do
w2sen full of vegetable matter. This
- especially true where the soil is
Aeayy and has at some time been
worked while wet 1t often requires
.yeztrs OF cultivation with winter freez-
bag and thawing to fully break up the
ae2ealS made by blowing when the
EroBRd is saturated with water. The
Dow presses particles Of clay soil to-
9eEher instead of pulverizing them. If
they are narrowed while wet, the clay
sticks to the harrow and but little good
Is done. If the soil is undrained these
s7o6lS remain for years, as the satu-
R1ted soil freezes solid at the surface
md thus prevents the deep freezing
seeded for pulverization. Fall plow-
SRg is beneficial for land in this condi-
sson.-American CuItivator.

The largest of the English breeds of
lang wooded sheep is the Lincoln, of
which a typical group is shown in the
accompanying illustration, taken from
BARN and Home. The Lincoln sheep
OF to-day are, in common with man2
aaheF English breeds, highly improved
animals and much of the improvement
Is due directly to the genius of Bake
