A N FEATHERS.

"There is a general impression in
this country at least, that the institu
ton known as tar and feathers is dis.
tinctly American. Nothing could be
further from the mark, observed
Judge Rialey of the Virginia bar. The
fact il, what we understand to be a
coating of tar and feathers is of ancient
origin. There is also an idea that tar
and feathers is a sort of Southern cele
bration, that it was invented there,
and that it is of common occurrence IN
that section of our loved country. I
assure you that both these ideas are
wrong all the way through. In the
first place, while there is plenty OF
tar in the South the stock of feathers is
not so large. And again, they are too
valuable to use in such a way.
"When a person deserves such a
treatment it is much easier and better
to give him a thorough cowhiding. A
cowhiding sticks as we'll as a coating of
tar, if it Is properly applied. Tar and
feathers originated in the days of
Richard Occur de Lion, w 800 years
ago, as is evidenced by one of his or
dinances for seamen, as follows: That
if any man is taken with theft or
pickery and thereof convicted, he shall
have his head polled and hot pitch
poured upon his pate. and upon that
the feathers of some pillow or cushion
shaken so that he may thereby be
known for a thief"

HOW TO WASH BLANKETS.

Cut up some good yellow soap and
boil it to a jelly with soft water. Put
some of the boiled soap in warm, soft
water, adding a large tablespoonful of
ammonia to every tub of water to
make a good lather. Wash the blankets
in two fathers of this kind, then rinse
in plenty of warm water slightly blued.
Wiring out thoroughly, shake them to
raise the nap and hang out TO dry.
They will be much improved by being
shaken twice more during the latter
process. Take the blankets in at night
before the dew falls, place them in a
clothesbasket, cover with a cloth and

WHY PIcNICs ARE so CALLED.

Everybody knows what a picnic is,
but most folks would find it hard to
say how it got that name, and yet it is
simple enough when you come to learn
it. When a picnic was being arranged
for. the custom originally was that
those who intended to be present
should supply the eatabIes and drink
ables. A list of those necessities hav.
ing BEEN drawn up, it was passed
around and each person picked out the
article of f cd or drink that he or she
was willing to furnish, and the name
of the article was nicked; or licked of
the list. The open air entertainment
thus became known as a pick and
nick" The custom is said to have
dated from 1902, so that the picnic is
wholly an institution of the nineteenth
century.-Ex.

HOW TO PREPARE SHREDDED

Boil 6 or 8 eggs hard; remove the
yolks and cut the whites into shreds or
pretty fine pieces. Put a large table
spoonful of butter into a pan on the

Success in cooking dried fruits de-

the fruit with cold water and let it
stand a short time to soften any dirt

fruit, rubbing 1t carefully between the
hands. Thoroughly rinse the fruit and
cover it with plenty of cold water,
letting iE soak twenty four hours. Then
drain out the fruls and to the water
add half a pound of eugar for each

SHINE. I wish l knew the ounce of pre-
vention."
1T is so simple" replied another
mother, that you will scarcely believe
in it. From the baby up, give them a
cold bath, if possible, every morning.
If the entire bath cannot be managed,
at least sponge the throat, chest, wrists
and feet with cold water, and rub with
O. coarse towel briskly until the ekin is
all in a glow. 1 do not recommend
taking a cold bath 10 q cold room, but
one a accuetom oneself even to that
Spartan meas ure. My boy of thirteen
would as soon miss his breakfast as his
cold morning sponge, taken, too, until
the first of November, when the fur
mace is lighted, in a perfectly cold
bath room. The proper way is to rub
the skin to q glow first; then, standing
in an inch of water. quickly sponge the
whole body, after which apply friction
with a towel. FIVE minutes ia sufficient
for the whole operation. Once a week
give them a warm bath for cleanliness,
and do this at night, putting them at
once to bed"

LINES.

Respectfully dedicated to the relatives of Mr..
PeteT Ben eJt. who died at his home near Dial,
December 81, 1896.
Through the gates of pearl the light is
streaming,
Through the shades Of death its rays
beaming;
Through clouds Of sorrow we hail with
gladness,
The light of life that dispells our sad,
ness;
From the golden harps we catch a
strain
Which echoes from earth to heaven
again;
A song of welcome as the gates un-
fold,
And a ransomed soul walks the streets
of gold.
Ger the forms that burdened by sor.
row are kneeling,
Broods the heavenly dove with blessed
healing;
Their tears he bathes and hears their
moaning,
And turns to prayers their right and
growing.
Then the radiance CLOVIS in beauty so
bright
That we know the Son is giving His
light,
And the clouds of sorrow OOH vanish
away
Like the shades oAnight at the dawn
of day.

1t may be added that small children
should have their feet carefully looked
after. A baby of five does not know
when his feet are cold, apparently, for
you will often find them like blocks of
ice when no complaint has been made.
See that they are always toasted be
fore going to bed, and you will save
many q cold. Children are such crea
lures of habit that you can soon accus
tom them to attending to this matter
for themselves.
Another precaution that will prevent
many an attack of Influenza, or a more
serious in f4mmatory allment, is breath
ing always through the nostrils when
exposed directly to a very cold tenn
perature. If the mouth be kept open,
the cold air strikes directly on the
tonsils and larnyx, while the nasal
passages are constantly kept arm by
the breath passing through the lungs,
and these consequently warn the air
taken in.
Many a case of ear ache is brought
on by not laying aside soon enough the
pretty brimmed Gainsborough hat and
substituting in it's stead a less aesthetic
hood, covering the ears and back of
the neck. For little boys the R-man
tCques which slip over the ears are
both pretty and warm.-Country Gen.

in it. Just then she came toward me
as if she was going to take me out, but
something in my face must have
stopped her.
what is the matters" she asked,
turning a little white.
Dolly" I said. sternly, will you
give me the first two dances after sup

'Ot course-if you want them; but
won't you dance nowY"
I had neve seen Dolly so meek be-

NO" I answered, almost roughly,
mot now" She left me- with a strange
look on her sweet face.
II seemed centuries until supper; I
tried to think of what / should say to
her, but my mind was in such a chaotic
state thae l decided to depend on the
inspiration of the moment.
At last supper was over and I found
her, tucked her arm in mine, and
marching off to a quiet nook. put her
in the only seat, and stood accusingly
before her.
Dolly" I began, ''look at met"
This she did, a little timidly, 1 thought,
and I almost forgot what I was going
to say in the joy of looking at her.
My darling" I went on, Il have
loved you so long, so we'll, and hoped
that, in the course of years, you might
come to care-"she dropped her eyes:
just then / remembered that horrible
gossip, but to night, Dolly, I heard
something that turned my heart to
stone"
What was it," she asked.
THAT you were engaged to"
"WhoH" br~eathlessly.
Morton" 1 gasped, that wretched,
caddish-"
"Stopr' she said, with dignity.
Tell me, you SHALL" 1 grasped her
wrists; lit is soH"
If it had been any woman in the
world but Dolly 1 should have said che
was embarrassed. She &C ually blushed.
NO." she said slowly, lit is not so,
but"-her hands went up and covered
her face. My heavensI suppose she
should cry.
But whatH" I insisted cruelty (;
you're not engaged to him, but you're
in love with him9" She took her hands
away and her face was very red; if it
had not been such a serious moment
1 should have said she had been laugh
ing.
Mr.. Morton has-never-asked me
to be his-wife-if he does-I shall"
I was beside myself.
And if he does9" 1 Missed.
II shall say yes" very softly.
A terrible silence ensued; the earth
was sinking beneath my feet.
You love this Mr.. Morton3" I said,
sharply.
And then the very queerest thing in
the world happened; Dolly's face
whitened a little as she rose and put
out her hand.
Yes, you old goose" che said, II
love this Mr.. Mortonl' It didn't take
me long to gather Dolly into my arms.
The next We minutes are not to ap.
pear in this narrative.

ever know such a stupid old fool as I

Never in all my life" said the sweet
est of girls, her voice coming from the
vicinity of my coat collar.
And do you suppose that woman
meant me when she told me that gossip,

and the wealthy owners have a grand
time during the winter months of the

pulled a roll of bills from his pocket
