GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY.

~ EGIN as early as Thursday,
X when you can clean and clear up
- the pantry. Give the beds an ex-
ira airing; peep into the cellar and ev-
cry other nook or corner, and determine
that you really will cease from your
usual labors on Sunday after this. Fri
day Is generally acknowledged to be
the regular day for sweeping, busting,
general cleaning and Strengthening up
all about the house. Saturday morning
is left for kitchen cleaning and Sunday
cooking.
To economic In time and other mat
tiers, good-sized piece of meat to roast
or boil can be cooked for Saturday din
ner; and any neat, smart woman can so
prune, and at the same time keep IN
tact, such piece of meat that 1t Will
seem as though first cut when served
the next day. If fowl Is ordered, IL
can be dressed and cooked on Satur-
day and set aside till wanted for Sun
day dinner. pan of escolloped pota-
toes can be prepared Saturday morn

Saturday night. Either may be heated
quickly next day, and will be found as

one day, which cannot be done with
some good victuals, with good bread

have not only good dinner, but
pleasurable meal, as you eat in rest,
Joy and peace on this
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest;

their own homework Is in reality the

children in the family, one or two OF
them can have the weekly bath as early
as Friday evening, the others as early
as may be Saturday, and yourself on
retiring.
That mother who finds herself and
household ready for Sunday will not
fail to enjoy and use rightly the Sab

L'oLONNoiS, THE CRUEL.
He Was the Most Ferocious of All the
Famous Buccaneers.

Famous buccaneers.
Frank r. Stockton is writing ''The
Buccaneers of Our Coast" in st. Mich
olas. In late number he SAYS:
Among the buccaneer leaders who dis.
tingulshed themselves as land pirates
was Francis LOlonnois, a Frenchman.
In those days it was the custom to en-
force servitude upon people who are
not able to take care of themselves; un-
fortunate debtors and paupers of all
classes were sold to people who had
need Of their services. Boys and girls
were sold for a term of years, some
what as if they had been apprentices:
and 1t so happened that the boy L'Olon-
nois was sold to master who took him
to the West Indies. There he led the
life of slave until he was of age; and
then, being no longer subject to owner
ship, he became one of the freest and
most Independent persons who ever
walked this earth. He began his
career on the island of Hspaniola,
where he took up the business of hunt
ing and butchering cattle, but he soon
became pirate, and enlisted as a COM
mon sailor on one of their ships. Here
he gave signs of being so brave and I'M
scrupulous that one of the leading pi-
rates on the island of Tortuga gave him
ship and crew, and set him up in
business. The career of L'Olonnois
was much like that of other buccaneers
of the day except that he was abOmin-
ably cruel to his Spanish prisoners.
All the barbarities attributed to the
pirates of the world were united in the
career of this wretch, who does not ap-
pear to be so good an example Of the
true pirate as Roc, the Brazilian He
was not so brave, he was not so able,
and it would be impossible for any one
to look upon him as hero. After hay
ing attained in short time the reputa-
ton of being the wickedest pirate of his
day, L'Olonnois. was unfortunate
enough to be wrecked upon the coast
near Campeachy. He and his crew
came safely to shore, but 1t was not
long before their presence was discov-
cred by the people of the town, and the
spanish SOluICio dttaIhCd lhChis HClt
was a fierce fight, but the Spaniards
were stronger, and the buccaneers were
utterly defeated. Many were killed,
wounded, or taken prisoners.
Among the wounded was L'Olonnois,
and when the Spaniards walked over
the battlefield, he was looked upon as
killed. When the soldiers had retired,
he stealthily arose and made his way
into the woods, where he stayed until
his wounds were well enough for him
to walk about. He Invested himself OF
his great boots his pistol belt, and the
rest of his piratical costume, and add
ing to his scanty rainment cloak and
| hat which he had stolen from poor cot
tage, he boldly approached the town,
and entered it. He looked like q very
ordinary person, and no notice was
taken of him by the authorities. Here
he found shelter and something to eat,
| and he soon began to make himself
very much at home In the streets OF
| Campeachy.

,er net cat. For several weeks nothing

nor net cat. For several weeks nothing
was heard of the cat. Then, one morn
ing, he appeared on the doorstep OF MS
home, and seemed so thankful 10 DC
taken in and petted that it was suppos-
ed he had been stolen and kept a prls-
oner.
After he had been warmly welcomed
by his human friends, the fox terrier OF
the family rushed into the room, snow
ing that he had only just learned Oh the
cats return. The scene that followed
was the funniest you can imagine. with
every demonstration of Joy, the little
dog ran to the cat, and began licking
his face, as he might have licked MS
masters hand. All that day he never
wearled of showing the cat attention.
He was indefatigably polite.
Very likely the two animals talked TO
each other in their language, which we
are not clever enough to understand
and the dog sympathized with the try
ing experience that his poor friend had
been through. We dull human beings
never found out where that cat had
been. or what he had suffered, but
whether or not the dog understood, he
was kind and loving and polite to the
cat, and, in few days, pussy seemed
as happy as If he had not a ca, in the
world. All his troubles were forgotten
under the influence of kind treatment.

But through it shines the spirit that

A spirit strong and sturdy, will to win

M. Berthelot has from time TO time
unearthed vast amount of valuable in
formation respecting the chemistry and
technology of the ancients. His latest
researches have reference to some glass
mirrors found near Rheims and which
date from the third and fourth CEN
turtles. The glass was coated with me-
tallio substance and also with layer of
whitish material. The metal proved to
be lead. with no trace of gold, silver,
copper, tin, antimony or mercury, nor
was there any organic substance pres
ent, showing that no extraneous mate.
rial was used to cement the lead to the
glass. The mirrors appeared to have
been cut from hollow blown glass
globes. and it is possible that before
being cut the molten lead had been
poured into the interior, adhering to
the previously warmed glass. The whit
ish layer consisted of lead carbonate and
lead oxide formed by the oxidation of
the lead coating and calcium carbonate
which had been deposited from the wa.

were found. Industries and Iron.

How to Rise Early.

Thomas and Simms live opposite each
other in a narrow street. They were
going on fishing excursion the other
day, and as they wanted to be sure TO
wake in time to catch the early train,
they ran bit of clothesline across the
street in at the second story windows,
and each tied an end to his leg, so that
II one awoke the other would imme-
diately feel pull, says Tit-Bits.
The scheme was an excellent one,
and we know of no reason why, under
ordinary circumstances, it should not
have worked well.
But about five o'clock that morning
some laborers assembled In front of
Simms' for the purpose of erecting a
telegraph pole. When the hole was
dug they began to put the pole upon
end. But, unfortunately, 1t slipped
down with tremendous force upon the
clothes-llne.
Mrs. Slmms was very much surprised
to see Henry go over the foot of the
bed and shoot feet foremost out of the
window; but even she was not more
amazed than Mrs. Thompson was when
Archibald performed the same feat.
They met in the middle of the street,
clustering as 1t were, round the pole,
but each with a broken leg They
wake themselves now with alarm
clocks. 1t is safer-and less exciting.

eter than the other, and the success of
the trick will be made much more diff
cult.
As soon as your join is quite dry, you
will be ready to exhibit. Balance the
ring ON the uncorked mouth of the bot
tie, and on the top of the ring directly
over the mouth lay your fiye-cent piece.

ting-needle, or anything handy within
the ring (see tig.), and with a sharp la

the coin will drop into the bottle.
1t Is as well to thoroughly practice the
feat before attempting to giyean exhibit

the coin in the exact position. 1 have
found it great help to secretly get some
vertical line in the room, say the edge
Of the door or the fireplace, directly be-
hind the center of the bottle, and run
ming the eye up this will give you the
spot on the top of the ring on which to
place the coin. WhenyOu have success

l trust will be at the first attempt,

the table before allowing anyone to en-
deavor to emulate your skill, so that
they may not have the aid of the ver-
teal line you secretly made use of.

The Bathtub.

If bathtub is zinc-lined, 1t can be
made to look like silver tub If rubbed
vigorously with cloth moistened by
kerosene. In fact housekeeper would
do well to see that such tub gets a
weekly rub Of this kind all through the
year. That distressing water mark
which occurs often in the tub of the
best-regulated families needs to be
watched. and 1t can surely be avoided
by the weekly kerosene rub. If the
tub is marble, and has been discolored
by drippings from the faucet, scour it
with pulyerized chalk, moistened with
ammonia. Another good way to clean
marble Is to use strong solution of
washing soda, into which little viii
ting has been dissolved. Cover the
marble with the mixture, and let it re-
main on for about an hour. The rub
it off, and polish the marble with al
cOhol.

A Clever Trick.

The following trick requires steadi-
ness of hand, dexterity of balance, and
correctness of vision, so that it will
provide ample scope for practice for
those who are not blessed with all three
to a marked extent. All you require
for 1t is an empty bottle of medium
size, a scent piece, and ring of stout
cartridge paper from 8 to 10 inches in
diameter, and about an inch to an inch
and a half In width. To make this
ring you will require a strip "a to 30
inches long, and If you do not happen
to have any cartridge-paper, you can
get over the difficulty by FASTING or
cumming two or three strips of the
thickest paper you have handy, over
each other, until you obtain a piece Of
the necessary stiffness.
In joining the two ends to form the
ring, be careful that the overlap shall

up into troughs or boxes, and fitted to-
gether like stovepipes. Cleats are nall

or, in some instances, shallow auger-
holes are bored into the bottom boards.
The boxes are then set up In line on
gentle slope, and the pay dirt is shovel

controlled by dam, sluices over the
dirt and gold. The weight of gold is so
great that 1t falls, and the dirt and use

The practice of the economies III the

til recently the orchard owners and the

the jelly-makers or fed them to the
hogs, but more generally allowed them
to accumulate as refuse in great heaps.

This year, in many places, the parings
and the cores are being saved. They
are spread out in the hot sun and dried,
after which they are packed In large
sacks and held for buyers, who gather
them up and send away in car lots.
The destination Of the dried parings
and cores In these large quantities Is

employed in the manufacture Of cham

Emotional women, and such are the

forces through the emotional nature,
suffer physical prostration without any
apparent cause. They are of the kind
that break down without suspecting

that in the emotions We have within
ourselves an effective means of suicide.

The Old Dress.


What shall we do with the poor old dress,
Fit to be cast aside
Long ere out Of life's storm and stress
Its busy owner died?
Not worth remaking, and room is scarce
And to leave it hung in its place
Means sudden pangs of a scarce-healed
And lost beloved face.
Yet that dress was shabby that close be-
side
Another of silk might hang,
And it brushed its neighbor nesting there
With never a grudging pang.
For the heart that beat in the shabby
gown
Loved the heart in the silken dress,
And left it u lesson of lifelong love
And patient unselfishness.
0 silent witness of mother-love
Till the warm heart fell asleep
Good enough for the mothers wear
Then good enough to keep!
Fold it away with reyerent hands
And quiet and loving tears,
Then pray for the heart in the silken dress
Through the motherless coming years.
