HOW TO ECONOMIC.
Never Buy Cheap Things Nor Things That
- Are Not Really Needed.

Never Buy Cheap Things Nor Things That
Are Not Really Needed.
There is no falser economy than to
buy inferior goods, and this rule holds
good for food as we'll al for
clothes. A good material looks well
to the end, and can be washed or
cleaned and made up again in various
ways. 1t is better to have one we'll
made dress of good material than two
or three badly-made OF poor stuff,
which will look shabby and untidy
after wearing once or twice. When
busting or sweeping an apron should
always be worn, and for any very dirty
work it is good plan to change the
dress, and wear an old one kept entire
ly for that purpose.
In household matters there are hum
dreds of ways in which economv can be
practiced. For instance, in y room
that is much used rug or STRIP of car
pet laid down near the door, where the
most wear comes, will save the carpet
and make it last twice as long.
White tablecloths should always have
table napkins spread at the end where
the carving goes on, SO that in case OF
any gravy being split only the napkins
need be washed instead Of the entire
cloth.
In buying food always choose tho
best. Inferior meat and poor groceries
are really no cheaper in the end, for the
small amount saved by purchasing
them is often expeaded twice over in
paying doctors bills and buying medi-
cine to cure ills, many of which are
caused by nothing but badly cooked,
inferior and indigestible food.
Good cooking is a great help to econ
omy, and is an art which should be
more cultivated than it is, for to know
how to make the best of everything and
the most TASTY way of using up all kinds
of scraps Is by no means to be despised.
Never buy anything that is not really
needed just because you see it in q shop
and it happens to be cheap. In buying
groceries it is far more economical 30
buy fairly large quantities and store
them than to buy small quantities
whenever needed. Eggs can be bought
in the summer when they are cheap
and stored for winter use. and spices,
rice, oatmeal. dried fruits, peas, can.
dies, etc, can be kept for a long time If
properly stored. Keep currants and
raisins and other dried fruits in jars or
tins, with covers, where flies will not
be able to get to them. Tea and coffee
should be stored in tin boxes or jars
with tightly fitting lids so that the air
is quite excluded.
A very economical plan, more fire.
quently followed abroad than in Eng.
land, is to have stock-pot into which
all odd bits of meat and bone, veg.
etables, and other odds and ends are
put, to be used for making soup. All
pieces of bread should be kept, made
crisp in the oven, powdered, and Kept
in tin ready for frying. Pieces of
cheese, too dry for eating, can be pow.
dered and used for flavoring. macaroni
and other dishes to which cheese is an
improvement.
There are numberless ways in which
q careful housewife can save money
without making any appreciable diff.
ference in the comfort and well being
of the inmates of the house, and it is a
curious fact that the best cooks are
frequently the most economical. Home

TWO BROTHERS.

There wore two brothers reared together
In a low-eaved house by the fields Of corn,
Who rambled among the fields ard meadows,
Content and happy. though country born;
And one was u dreamer, ever listless.
AS II hearing sweet whispers far away.
~'The flowers are sweet In the waving mead

They are summers KISSES" the dreamer
would say.

And fills the mows and stacks with hay"
Hut. an! the dreamer, he loved the singing
OF the waving leaves and the wanton brook:
He loved the song Of the warbling red bird,
He loved the hush OF the shady nook.
'..Hear the robins sing?" he would sometimes
murmur.
"Hush and listen" Blu, the other one
~Cried: 'Hol they are stealing our ripest cher
riesl
Iwould that We had our fathers gum"
The soul of the dreamer was filled with music,
And he sang us the thrush in the tangled
briers;
And Oft at eve. when the sun was setting
And the good wives builded their supper
fires,
They would hear his song float over the
meadows,
Sweet and clear as the chapel's bell.
1he plowman stopped in the clodded furrow;
The lifted lash UNDECIDED fell.
~'GoG bless the child" they would softly muir
muir
with his bird-liko song and angel face"
While their lips took up the mellow chanson,
While their hearts took in the sanity grace.
But still moro able they. reckoned the other

And plucking the berries along the road.

Two brothers lived their ways apart;
For one bent low in lonely attic,
And one strobe bold In the city's mart
The people praised the sweet-voiced singer;
The songs OF his soul were on every lip;
But they cringed and bowed to the wealthy
merchant.
And worshiped his hoard Of gold and script

PHILADELPHIA'S ENGINES.
Disabled Cylinder Head Cause Of
Slow Trip to Hawaii.

Notwithstanding the repeated
statements of naval officers that the
engines of the cruiser Philadelphia
are all right and her slow work dur
ing the last run down to the Hawai-
ian Islands was due to foggy weather
and a foul bottom-a remarkable
condition for a crack war vessel just
from a navy yard drydock, she lies at
Honolulu with her starboard engine
on the sick list.
Her speed of ten knots with the
port engine and three knots with the
starboard machinery was sad mys-
terry to her engineers, who, while in
sisting that bad weather above and
barnacles below were the cause OF
her long trip, held to the theory that
the propeller was either broken or
foul, something wrapped around it
strings, literally.
On arriving at Honolulu the ma
chinery was taken apart, and it was
learned that one of the starboard
cylinders had broken down, the head
being completely disabled, rendering
the starboard engine useless. This
failure of the machinery to drive the
vessel ahead to her destination SO
soon after leaving Mare Island was
considered an item of information
not for the public.-S. f. Call.
