Absent.Minded People.

Here are couple Of stories Of abb
sent-minded people that are worth re-
peating: My brother lives in New
England town, and he went to Boston
once to transact some business that
would occupy two days. At the end
of four days he had not returned. His
wifc's anxiety was relieved on that
day by telegram, which read:
"What did I come to Boston forf
Have been trying to remember for three
days.
''Real estate" telegraphed back:his
wife.
"Of course" came back the answer.
A similar case, but one which could
hardly be called observation-disclosures, is
that Of c., the stock broker. On the
morning on which his first baby was
born, he came on the floor with q ra-s
diant face. Catching sight Oh me, he
rushed up and said with beamingl
smile and joyous eye:
Congratulate me, old man; I'm the
happiest father in New York city.
There never was such handsome
baby born before
"I do congratulate you, Harry, old
man." I answered, as I squeezed his
hand warmly. "Boy or girl?'
He looked at me for q moment, and
then a wave of blank despair went
over his face. ''I'll be hanged if /
know he said.
G. disappeared from the floor; but
in couple of hours I felt someone
nearly jerk my arm from its socket.
cts boy" exclaimed c., gleefully.
II went home and found cut.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DIS.
EASE.
Group is a terror to young mothers
and to post taem concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of
Group is a common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure to fol-
low. The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recog-
nized and will never be forgotten by
those who have heard it. The time
to act is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Cbamberlain's Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency
to Group will soon disappear. Even
after the croupy cough has developed
it will prevent the attack. There is
no danger in giving this remedy for it
coHtains nothing injurious. For sale

Household Hints.

The addition Of little vinegar to
the water in which white fish In boiled
keeps it firm and a good color. o.
A good antiseptic dressing for sores
or bruises is made by dissolving ,240:
grains of boric acid and 80 grains Of
salicylic acid in two pints of water
Crabapple Jelly is greatly improved
by the addition of little lemon. AZ
ter the jelly has been strained squeeze.
in the juice of one lemon to every two
or three pints Of jelly.
When clothing has acquired a close,
unpleasant odor from being packed
away where the air cannot reach it, q
few pieces Of charcoal laid among the
folds will soon remove the odor.
According to famous palm fancier,
the leaves Of palm should be- wash
ed, not with pure water, but milk and
water, which has wonderful way Of
preserving them, and preventing the
appearance Of the brown spots which
are so disfguring.
Tansy is a. sure preventative OF
moths. Sprinkle the leaves freely
about your woolens and fura, and the
moths will never get into them.
fourth generation now using Blankets
etc., thus preserved proves the efficacy
of that remedy of oiden. times.
The most recent and approved meth;
cd of making mustard plaster is to-
mix one teaspoonful of mustard with
three of cornmeal, using just sufficient
water to make the paste of the right
consistency. 1t is simple, mild, eff
cacious, and the materials for 1T ike
ly to be within easy reach.
To make ones own extract Of vanil-;
la secure FIVE Tonquin beans and one
vanilla bean, clip them, and put them:
into bottle with ten ounces of alco-s
hol, six ounces Of water and three
ounces Of sugar. Let the mixture res
main from six to eight weeks, shaking
frequently; then strain, and it's ready
to use. 80
If you question the quality Of the
water you have to drink; boil it and
bottle as hot as possible, having

re6lled. The best way to freshen them
is after washing to fill them with boil
ing ammonia OF borax water, allowing
a teaspoonful of ammonia to quart of
water. Let the water remain all day,
and then fill the crock with sweet milk
and let it stand over night.
To smooth rough hatirops, rub them
when hot briskly over coarse salt,
spread on folded newspaper. It is
an excellent idea to keep on your
ironing board a bit Of beeswax or white
wax, and clean white cloth. Rub
the white irons with the wax, and
then quickly over the cloth, and they.
will remain beautifully smooth. Irons
should be kept in dry place, and il
isn't bad idea to wrap them in old
newspapers.

because you have lived in it, so when
you come to cross that threshold which
has an entrance, but is devoid Of exit,
thousands you leave behind you in
this cold, bitter world will mourn
your loss, and in your eternal home
where all is love and happiness, angels
will greet you wit their praises of
glory. How sweet it must be then to
realize that you have been the means
of aiding 50 many others, who when
the final roll is called and their names
are written in the book of life, will
meet you there and love you more for
having been such blessing to them.
Life is short, SO grasp the golden op-
portunities each feeting moment is
presenting to you, or like the pardon
which came to the dying prisoner will
be heard your awful cry, "Too late =!
too late ?'' PHILos.

He Had it in His Pocket

"a misunderstanding as to the
meaning of word sometimes leads to
peculiar situations" said Rev. A. L.
Smith, of Chicago, at the Arlington,
to a Washington Star writer. "In
company with several other ministers
I was riding in a stage or hack, which
served the purpose of stage, en- route
to campmeeting. The road wound
among the mountains, and the air was
delightful, while the scenery was
almost sublime. was invigorated as
though by powerful tonic, and sew
eral times remarked uron the ozone in
the air.
"After one of these observations the
driver stopped the horse, and, beckon-
ing to~me slyly, climbed from the
seat. Wondering what he could want,
I followed him, and soon we were be-
hind a large tree, out of view OF the
wagon. ;,
"Parson," said the driver, I
couldn't bear to see you suffer. The
ozone you smelled was in my pocket.
"With these words he ,ew forth
large bottle of whisE slch he Of
fered to me. 1t TOOK several minutes
to convince him that it was not whis-
key I had referred to as ozone.

Election Bets Among Church Members.

Another instance of the folly Of
liking up religion with politics comes
from the vicinity of Pittsburg. On
last Sunday morning Deacon Jonathan
Fechter, Of the Congregational church
of Donegal township, Mortified the
members Of the congregation by walk
ing into the meeting in his bare feet.
The Deacon took his usual seat and
joined in the singing with his custom
ary vim. The morning was a trife
cool, and barefeet were somewhat out
of order. Nevertheless, the deacon
performed his regular exercises with
as much apparent enjoyment as on
previous occasions.
After the services were over the
minister and several of his fellow-dea-
cons waited on Deacon Fechter and
inquired about his strange conduct.
He explained that he was paying an
election bet, made with gentleman
by the name of Arnold Herter, the
loser having to walk to church bare
footed. He lost, and hence his ap-
pearance in the style witnessed. A
conference was held and it was decid-
ed to discipline Deacon Fechter, not
because he came to church barefooted
but because he had INDUCED in bet
ing.
It is really sad to contemplate the
position of Deacon Fechter. Here is
a good man, and as far as can be de-
termined by the account of the Incl
dent, mild and inofensive one, hu-
initiating himself, mortifying his
friends, and distracting the congrega-
tion to which he belongs. His mind
thrown from it's balance by his politi-
cal excitement, he makes bet, the
paying of which involves the making
of himself ridiculous spectacle, as
we'll as setting bad example to
the younger members of the congrega-
! tion.
After such a departure from the
straight line Of duty and propriety,
what may not be expected from the
youth of that church? 1t need excite
excite no surprise to see any
peaceful Sunday morning one Of
the Youthful and light-minded wor-
shippers come prancing up the aisle
on his hands, feet waving in the air,
either properly shod or not, as fancy
dictates. Or to see a well-dressed
man escort young lady up to seat
near the front and airily toss one foot
over her head as she proceeds to enter
the pew. Or to see the sexton snow
a stranger to seat, and after turning
a back somersault, present him hymn
book, with a deep bow. And all on
the plea Of paying a bet.
It can be set down as certain that
there is trouble in store for the church.
The example Of Deacon Fechter is
sure to be followed, and the specula-
tive mind stands aghast at the posi-
bilities. There was no other course
to be pursued by his minister and fell
low-deacons. Just how severe the
discipline will be left to conjecture,
but if the minister and brother dea-
cons do their full duty, Deacon Fech-
ter will lead such miserable life for
the next few weeks as will effectually
deter others from making such bets,
as will, at least, prevent them from
paying them in church.
