A minister OF the gospel told me one of the
most thrilling Incidents / ever heard in my

and hts boy met him upon the doorstep,

HOW TO BRIGHTEN FURNITURE.

1t is not such drudgery as the words
imply to ''polish, polish, polish, like
Turveydrop of old, if the ever famous
elbow grease be supplemented by
efficient help.
We all know that the wood of
piano case always seems to have
brighter polish than the other furni-
ture, and, with this fact in mind, a
famous housekeeper, possessed with
Turveydrop's mania, made bold to ask
dealer in musical instruments the
secret of the mirror-like glossiness of
his wares. His reply was too practical
and too useful to be kept for the use
of one household, and is given for our
readers benefit, with the assurance
that it may be used on the most rare
and costly wood, not only without
fear of injury, but as preservative.
1t is made rs follows: To four table.
spoonfuls of sweet oil add four OF
turpentine, a tesspoonful of lemon
juice and ten drops Of household
ammonia. Shake we'll and it is ready.
Care must be taken also to shake each
time just before using.
The proper application of this polish
is important to insure magical results,
and two or three clotos are absolutely
necessary. { Cheese cloth is excellent,
and also old soft silk handkerchiefs
and bits of fine flannel. Apply with
No. until the wood seems to have
absorbed some of the mixture; then
rub briskly with No. 2, and finish off
with No. 3.
A few drops of violent scent added
to the polish will do away with the
oder OF turpentime. which is disliked
by some people. Chicago Record.

To keep cheese fresh and moist is
one of the problems of housekeeping.
There are several ways of doing this,
but the best, verified by experience,
is to wrap it up in damp butter mus

In this way cheese may be kept for
weeks.

HEEP TH E ORPHANS.

There is one place in this town where hard times should not be felt next Thursday and for some time thereafter, and that is the New Haven Orphan Asylum. No charitable work in this vicinity appeals to the just and the generous like the work of caring for the orphans. When death causes the fathers and mothers of children to for sake them it remains for the Lord or some of His agents to take the children up. The children in the orphan asylums have peculiar claim upon all who have hearts to feel and hands to give They have been taken up by the com munity, and while their lot at best is not enviable it should be and is made as cheerful and hopeful as possible The annual appeal for help to give them enough to eat, drink and wear is again made. Let 1t be responded to as freely and generously as ever. The public orphans should not be allowed to suffer on account of money stringen.. cy or money stinginess.

AN APOLOGY TO THE INDIANS.


 Awhile ago the Boy Orator came to this town in all his silvery splendor He wasn't pleased with the attention shown him here. There was too much Brek Elk Elk Elk in it and too much brazen music. His reception was also displeasing to the Cherokee, the Creek, the Choctaw and the Seminole Indians. They were moved by it to give the civil lization of the pale face the following effective "wipe:" Resolved, That we contemplate with deep regret the recent insulting treatment of William J. Bryan by students Of the college in the land of the boasted white mans civilization, and we admonish all Indians who think of sending their sons to Yale that asso- citation with such students could but prove hurtful alike to their morals and their progress towards the higher standard of civilization.
 This action of the Indians has been felt just where it was intended to be felt. A Bryan and Sewall club has been formed at Yale, and among the resolu- tions with which it started off is one treating the Boy Orators reception here properly and honorably. It says: Be it resolved, That We, the members of the Bryan and Sewall Club of Yale University, do hereby condemn this ac- tion as untrue to the sentiments of our university, and hostile to the spirit of broad -mindedness which has always characterized Yale men, and that we tender to MT. Bryan our sincerest apol- ogy for this action of some of our fel- low students.
 After the action taken by the Che rokee, the Creek, the Choctaw and the Seminole Indians there was feeling in this city that Yale would lose some of her picturesqueness and attractiveness if there should be such falling-off in the attendance of Indians there as that action was intended to bring about But the action of the Yale Bryan and | Sewall club will doubtless restore the old cordial intent between Yale and the Indians and there will continue to I be as many of the whoopers here as usual Of course the Indians will not allow their feeling that their civiliza- tion is superior to New Haven civiliza- ton to prevent them from accepting the l apology offered, and they will realize that they have some duty to us. Il sometimes seems that the Indians who are now at Yale leaven the whole lump and when there are more of them the leavening will be more constant and conspicuous.
