RenOvatinE Velvet nnd Plush.

A simple method of cleaning velvet,
velveteen and plush is described in
the Ladies' Home journal by Emma
NJ. Hooper. The rule applies to all
three kinds of goods, as all have pile
which if fiattened must be assisted to
rise again. With the assistance of Il
stiff whisk broom, a pan of boiling
water and an obliging friend who will
brush UP the nap as you hold the
goods taut over the steam the wrong
side to the water, these materials will
look like new. This process removes
wrinkles, brightens the color, and
makes the crushed nap stay up when
brushed against the grain. and will
answer for black or colored pile fab
RIGS. If the velvet has a grease spot
on it remove it with French chalk be
fore steaminG. A sticky spot may be
lightly touched with clean cold wa
ter before the steaming process.

SMART MOCKING BIRD.
How "a St. Louis Indy Taught Him to
Sing "Yankee Doodle" and
Other Tunes.

lived to be nine years old and seemed
to be quite "one of the family as he
could call the names of the children.

Doodle" which could readily be recog-
nized by anyone. The variety of his
notes was truly wonderful.
a "mocker" must be taken from the
nest, when too young to fly, and fed
"by hand;" feeding frequently, and a
little at time of the following mix
ture: The yolk of a very hard boiled
egg, mixed smoothly with twice its
bulk of freshly boiled potato. This is
the staple article of diet for both
young and old, and must be prepared
new each day. If left over it sours and
is not good for the health of the bird.
l also fed flies, grasshoppers and bugs,
and as a special delicacy big fat grub

as | ascertained by observation.
In winter, when spiders were not to
be found, we hunted over cellar and
garrets for nests of spiders eggs, if
and they seemed to act as tonic, like
the spiders themselves.
In winter we utilized wormy nuts,
and grubs found in rotten wood, also
"meal worms found in hidden hooks
In gristmill. The bird relishes raw
sweet apples, also bread and milk,
must have a generous bath, and fresh
water to drink, and cage must be
cleaned every day.
They require care and attention, but
give full return in their wealth of
song. \ stranger could scarcely sleep
il our house unless we "blanketed" the
bird cage, while we, being accustomed
to the nightly serenade, did not mind it
at all. My bird died of old age.

ones. They attacked the cat when
ever and wherever seen if she left the
house; they watched every door, and
could see her through the screen and
would alight close to the door and
"scold.' They would drive her into
the house by sweeping down upon her
back, until she became apparently so
"terrorized" as to be almost unable to
crawl, could not new and | believe
would have soon died had not gone to
her rescue several times. They would
alight on the porch and promenade in
front of her, not a foot from her paws,
not fearing her in the least, and such
sharp, shrill scolding as they admin
istered was almost more than even our
human nerves could stand.
Their performance was considered
wonderful by everyone who saw them.
Not wishing to have another such ex-
perience I destroyed their nest as soon
as it was empty; but they set to work
to rebuild. / tore it down the second
time, when they built in another tree
still nearer the house and just above
my reach.
The singer mysteriously disappeared

CONGENIAL OCCUPATION.
Light and Profitable Employment fox
q Poor Old Man Who Had
Nothing hut Money.

The old stock broker limped W EARLY down
the familiar country road on which III boy
hood days he had often driven the COWS
homewdrd to their barn at milking time,
and ever and anon some familiar feature
of the landscape caught his eye. Years ago
his father had died and left the farm to his
brother and himself Soon tiring OF the dull
toIl OF farmer $ life, he resolved to go to
the city and seek his fortune.
Here his honest face secured him posi-
ton with Wall street firm, the members
OF the firm assuming that an honest, in
genuous countenance was such rarity III
their line OF business that it might attract
attention and add to their clientele. Soon
branching out for himself, he in time be
came one OF the largest operators on the
street. But, caught in crash, he was pen
niless, and was now forced to seek home
with his brothers sons, who had prospered
with the farm.
As he reached the familiar gate the young
husbandmen saw him, and with yell they
rushed to meet their uncle.

A GOOD WOMAN GONE.

Mrs. Nora M. Wallace, of Fifteenth
a noble type of womanhood. She unit
ed with the Zane street Methodist Epis-
copal church over twenty-five years
ago, having removed here from Sum-
merton, Ohio, by certificate, and re-
manned a faithful member of that
church until called to the Church
Triumphant, on the 9Th inst She fl
led various offices in the church, and
was a successful class leader and lead
er of the young peoples society, where
she leaves many monuments of her
faithfulness. Her funeral services
own arranging throughout. She re-
quested that former pastor, Rev. c.
B. Graham, have charge. He was as
sisted by Rev. E. D. Hanna and DR..
J. L. Sooy. The pail bearers, of her Sc
lection, were William Graham, Thos.
Scofield, J. A. Jefferson, Albert Red
man J. T. Cowl and John Reed
The music was in charge of Miss Ag-
gle Cline and the singers were from
the Zane street and Fourth street
choirs. Her pastor spoke appropriate
ly of a short but a delightful acquaint-
ance, and an important lesson learned
from her faith and patience in her
sickness. Rev. Graham used as a text
I'd Cor; &c, LIST ": For we know if
our earthly house of this tabernacle be
dissolved"
He spoke from an acquaintance with
the deceased of more than eleven
years, three of which he was her pas
tor, he spoke of her church life as be-
ing clear in experience, positive in re-
ligious conviction and faithfulness in
the discharge of Christian duty, with
all that means. He said it was embar-
RAISING to speak of her, not because of
the great loss but from the many good
things proper to say of her. She was
the kind of person for whom pastors
do not have to apologize. She was a
faithful student of the bible. which
was the foundation of her faith
She was a member of the W. c. T.
T., and while she requested no
display either in flowers or otherwise
she did want to wear the white ribbon,
and the sisters of that society placed
the badge of purity upon her bosom
and attested their love for her by their
presence at the funeral in body. She
leaves an aged mother, Mrs. Miranda
Mossburg, two brothers. R. A. and E.
G. Mossburg, and a sister, Mrs Cora B.
Gardner, and three sons and two
daughters to mourn their loss, but not
as those without hope and this Chris
tan mothers prayers will unquestion-
ably be answered as the heavenly man
ma in blessings upon her.
