ry for both that she wants them
brought together again. believe she
'ympathizes more with the cow than
he calf, for she says that children
Don get weaned from their mother,
but the mother never forgets her
hid. That is 80 with human beings,
but not so with animals. Their affec-
ton is strong, but their memory is
weak. In few days that COW will for
get she ever had n calf. Providence
has arranged all these things. 1t is as
tonishing how many little things there
are to do about the house and home.
1t took all the day yesterday to put
down the carpets for tho winter. They
wero shaken and beaten thoroughly
'ast spring, wnen taken up, but my
wife wanted them shaken again. The
furniture had all to be taken out and
the books in the bookcase busted, and
the old sofa mended. The paper mat
ting and lot of newspapers had to be
spread on the floors before the carpets
were put down. The window glass
were washed and everything renewed
and brushed up for the coming winter.
That is all right, and am glad that is
all done, for it is n power of work. L
dident do much of it, for now 1 am
like the clown in the circus who al

move tho things out of tho ring but 1

COW had broken it down to get to her
calf, and l hnd to go after her and

10 do these things, but they are all
gone and 1 am the only boy left on
:hc premises now. 1t is hard, but it is
fate, and l am not complaining. The
old marc is 2S years old and can hard
ly travel, the old dog lies in the piazza
and can hardly wag his tail, tho big
old oak in the back yard is dying Mt
the Top and man cannot escape the
common int;rmity. The poet says that
IMAM was made to mourn" but L do
not think SO. He is born to trouble,
but he needn't mourn about it. Let
him fight the battle of life bravely.-

SOME TOILET NOVELTIES.

Unless you have bit of Bohemian
glass on your toilet table you have no
right to fatter yourself that you are
up to date.
There are any number of odd
shaped Bohemian glass salve boxes, pin
trays and hairpin-cases, but as yet the
brush with a glass buck has not been
seen.
Ivory toilet articles decorated with
gold are much in favor with those
who can afford them. Upon highly
polished mahogany table they look
very beautiful.
The Bohemian glass puff boxes are
exquisite affairs, and much less cx-
pensive than the gold or silver ones.
The pun looks very pretty, showing
through the glass box.
Toilet articles of tins dclicntclv coll
Orcd glass are one Of the present fads
of the society woman. 1t is not the
plain Bohemian glass that she favors,
but the glass that is studded with imi-
tntion jewels and wrought with gilt
designs.

THE BEST BLEND OF COFFEE.

One of the best blends Of coffee is
onchalf Mocha and ne.half Java.
The coffee should be bought in the
berry, and not only ground, but, if
possible, also roasted ut home. AS a
rule, coffee is ovcr-roasted. The mo-
ment the berries acquire golden
brown tint and oily stains appear
they should be taken from the oven,
and little piece Of butter melted
over them adds to the richness Of tho
berry. III they are left until dark
brown, the oil, which contains tho
aroma OF tho coffee, cvaporates, and
tho dark liquid which is the result of
cotfce-making with burned berries is
devoid of perfume and flavor.
