Lightning at TOquerville.

Editor UNION
Shortly before 3 o'clock on the
morning ofsthe 9th we were aroused
from our slumber by a heavy clap of
thunder, accompanied by vivid
lightning. The latter paid visit
to the home of JOS. Sylvester, COM
ing down the chimney, going up the
stovepipe, flashing around the room
and setting the building on fire.
The flames were soon extinguished.
The oldest boy, Frank, had been
sleeping where the lightning passed
and which would undoubtedly have
killed him, but that his mother had

and thus he was spared. The family
fell to acknowledge Providence in
their deliverance and escape. But
little damage was done.

NOT AN ETCHER.
How The Shy Young Man Answered
The Pretty Girl.

This is a story OF a shy young man,
and for that reason the name shall be
hidden under the mantle of charity.
He is very shy youth in the pres
e1ce of all Womankind and has even
teen known to blush when a wee baby
girl smiled at him and gurgled. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that while
his family were more or less INNER
sed in society, he seldom went forth
himself
One day his aunt babe HON to din
ner and declared that she would lie
forever offended if he did not come.
L was a family conspiracy. you see,
to introduce him to the sweetest girl
in tie world, who would undertake to
cure him Of his shyness.
The dinner came off and the shy
young man found himself seated by
the sweetest girl. 1t was hard work
for the girl, though. All through
dinner she had made impossible con-
versation and had only been reward
With the finger bowls came doylies on
ed with bushes and stammering.
At length desert was served and
each of which was drawn a clever
little design with indelible ink.
Pictures of this sort are, for some I'M
accountable reason, said to be etched
They furnished the almost exhausted
girl with new theme, however.
Turning to the shy youth she inquired
brightly:
do you etch?"
Moo he replied, ''but I've been
t'cubled with prickly heat, dur

With a shrek of insupressible
laughter, the sweetest girl gave him
up. He is still shy.-Kansas City Star.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD

An old pen put into the ink-well
will prevent to a great extent the
acid in the ink wearing out the pens
in use.
When ink is spilled on linen, try
dipping the damaged materia in pure
melted tallow. The hot tallow seems
TO absorb the ink, and, after washing,
the stain will be found to have disap-
peared.
When the fingers are stained in
peeling fruits, preparing green wal
nuts, or in similar ways, dip them
in strong tea, rubbing them we'll with
nail brush, and afterward wash
them in warm water and the stains
will disappear.
Frequently ice is hard to keep at
rand with campers and picnicers and
the food suffers for the want Of Il.
A common clay flower pot may be
nade good use of in keeping the but
ter cool and firm. Place the pot over
the plate of butter and wrap around
it cloth wet in cold water, sprink-
ling water over the outside of the
cloth as it becomes dry. Milk will re-
main cool and sweet if treated in that
manner.
A seasonable and delicious way of
serving ice cold raw tomatoes is to
remove the inside of the fruit, leav-
ipg a thick wall. Take out the seeds,
and to the pulp add equal parts of
dry mustard and brown sugar, lit
tie salt, pepper sauce and vinegar.
Stir the mixture into paste and re-
fill the tomato.
Do not put hot water OF any kind
of water upon w0oicnB that have had
liquid grease spilled on them. First
| sprinkle. buckwheat or ryc -four over
the place and let it absorb the grease,
brush off the flour, and apply then
fresh flour until all the grease is alb
sorbed.

| upon the inside of the b. ariel and at

side of the barrel. Paste heavy
