House Cleaning Hints.

House cleaning seems 10 be difficult
problem In many families, it being a
season of worry and hard work, espe-
ciaIly TO the housewife. But there is n
right time for 1t. First we must make
preparations TO go at 1t systematically
before throwing the house in confusion.
Don't be too busy to cook the usual
good dinners. Better prepare before
hand such foods that will enable you to
make quick and tempting meals, thus
saving at least au hour or so every day
while the cleaning lasts. See that you
have everything at hand, ammonia,
furniture oil, brushes, soap-bark, soap,
tacks, etc. These things are absolutely
necessary. A change OF the furniture
about the rooms will sometimes add to
better effect. Perhaps nay recipe for
cleaning soiled carpets will not come
amiss here. We have used il on fine
moquettes, as well as the cheaper grades
Of carpet with excellent results. After
the carpets have been removed, we'll
beaten and returned to the floor, take a
dimes worth of soap-bark, pour over it
about two gallons of boiling water, let
stand an hour on back of stove this
should have been prepared beforel then
take one or two quarts (at the time) Of
this warm soap-bark water in a small
vessel, and with a stiff scrub-brush dip
lightly in and go all over the carpet,
brushing 1t very evenly. Open the win
dows and doors so as to let plenty of air
in to dry it thoroughly. You will be
surprised at the bright, new appearance
of the carpets. Even IL water fades
your carpet, this will not in the least
iniura the coior.-sJoe's Wife"

Points in Tomato Culture.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer gives
the following:
Having grown both, find that the
tomato vine is similar TO the hop vine
in regard to the use of the same ground
every year. The longer either of them
is raised on one kind of soil and in the
same spot, with good care, the better it
seems to thrive. This is something
worth remembering, though, of course,
il might not work in ell cases, since the
same plants often present striking diff
ferences, even when grown on soils only
a few rods apart.
/ first select ground suitable for the
purpose-such as can be employed year
after year without any danger of inter-
ference for other uses-and then, at an
interval of about every ten feet, drive
strong stakes into the soil, arranging
them in long rows two and half feet
apart. Along these rows the tomatoes
are planted in hills, and as the vines
commence to spread stout twine is run
on nails from one stake to another, sim
liar to wire on posts in the construction
of fence. On this twine the tomato
vines are then trained, much in the
same way that grapes are trained on a
trellis. Thus arranged, the rays of the
san experience li..ie er IL difficulty in
reaching all the tomatoes, and in con-
sequence nearly every one Of them ri
pens nicely and in due order, thing
that could not occur were the vines left
TO sprawl upon the ground. New to-
matoes viii keep coming on vines train
ed in this way much longer than they
otherwise would, affording thereby just
as many green ones in autumn for pick
ling as if only small amount of ripe
fruit had been realized during the sea-
son.
Should drouth come on at any time
during the summer, as there often does,
the tomato hills ought to be watered
properly, and all branches beginning to
die pruned of, so that no further vital
ity of the plant will be absorbed by
them. In dealing thus with the vines
they will keep green continually, and
also produce fruit which commands a
ready sale in any market and is grace
to any table. I consider it proper 10
prune considerably, aud especially If
large, fine tomatoes are to be produced.
Pruning the vines will make them
stocky, and for this reason the vitality
of the plants will go into less num-
Der of tomatoes. Therefore, If large
fruit is desired, advantages can be de-
rived by pruning heavily, but for gem
eral field culture there should be only
little pruning, and sometimes almost
none at all. The fact is, an ordinary
plant. properly trained will usually
produce tomatoes plenty large enough
for market without great deal Of prun-
ing, further than cutting off dead
branches and where the vines happen

Condition of Porto Rico.


The American missionary sssocia-
tion, through its secretary, Rev. A. r.
Beard, d. ID whom {: scot to Porto
Rico as its special commissioner, has
issued a statement OF the conditions in
that island as related to population,
education, homes and opportunities
for new AmeTieanism. In part, the
statement is as follows
a census of Porto Rico lately taken
gives the population as s9a. 900, which
may be divided ia round numbers as
follows: White, j00. .000; colored $780,
600, Of whom about 90g0 are blacks.
This gives dense population Of aearly
2Is to the square mile. The peasants,
OF gibaros. with the nestixns and blacks,
together form tie class cf unskilled
.aborers. They are uisersbly poer, and
literally live from hand to mouth.
Their cabins, OF "shacks, are set on
poles driven into the ground, the tloor
being raised few feet. The average
household furniture consists of few
dishes and utensils made Of ealabash
shells or gourds, with some rude
earthenware. \ little patch Of land
for the plantain grove or some corn or
sweet potatoes, possibly a COW, a pig
and dimiGutive house OF Gothic
architecture, form the property and
provision for life. The people seldom
get any meat, aud but little bread, fer
food, as none Of the cereals grow well
there. Their staple food is the ba-
mana.
Out Of $4,000 there are III $50 who.
can read, but cf these IA 45lS cannot
write. Nearly s0OGo0 are without
knowledge beyond that Of their own
hat.
oae-half Of the population is in
towns. All of the towns are built on
the same general plan, and in most of
them four Of the five senses are con-
stantiy offended. Odors are always in
evidence. As to feeling, the opportun-
tiles for the study Of entomology are
unbounded. As 20 taste, everything is
saturated with garlic.

Il was in a most dreadful condition.

While the Americans were cleaning
the streets and courts snd houses and
jails Of Santiago, and were taking care
of the sick and wounded and starting,
aud were administering al the affsiEs
Of the working sixteen hours each
day--the Cuban residents held aloof,
negiecting even to call aud pay their
respects to the occupant fthe palace.
There we're no public meetings, no con-
tributioas, no private offers Of assist
anee, no Increment for the sid Of Gu
bans by C0tsus. save by a few mem-
bers OF the local chamber OF commerce
The ch0rch. represented by an arch
bishop, whose salary under the old
regime had been 5000 year, and by
a number OF Spanish priests and diffrr-
cut orders, did not turn hand for The
relief Of the city or Of the province.
There was some activity, however, bat
Of different kind. Among the Gu
bans the fact that certain Spanish
officials had been retained IN ofiice by
the Americans wisely retained,
too. as subsequent events have proved
had created a feeling Of positive dis
content aud antsgonisDl. This came
to climax on the evening OF Septem-
Der ., the day on which Generat
CaIixto Carols paid his memorable
visit to Santiago.
Surrounding the Plaza De Arnas are
four prominent buildings the cathedral,
the paIsee, the club san Carlos, which
is the Cuban stronghold, and the Spa,.-
ish club. The two latter occupy cor
ners triangularly opposite, with the
plaza between them. On the night in
question, about O'Clock, General Wood
was writing in bis Office in the palace.
At the outer door stood solitary sem
tinel, armed with q rifle. Suddenly
there hurst across the plaza from the
San Carlos club. muh OF CHbRns
probably 500. Within few minutes a
shower Of stones, bricks, bottles and
other missiles struck the Spanish club,
smashing windows and doors. A man,
hatless and oct Of breath, rushed up to
the sentry at the palace entrance and
shouted: where's the geneuas Quick!
The Cubans are trying 10 take the
town.
General Wood was leisurely folding
up his papers when the sentry reach
ed him. II know it, he SAID before
the man had time to speak. II have
heard the row. We will 90 ever aud
stopit"
He picked up his riding whip, the
only weapon he ever carries. and, ae-
companied by The one American SOL
der, strolled across 10 the scenefof tie
trouble. The people in the Spanisl.
club had got it pretty well closed up,
but the excited Cuhaus were still be
fore it, throwing things and shouting
imprecations, and even trying to force
way in by the main entrance.
"Just shove them back, sentry, said
General Wood quietly.
Around swung the ride, and ia much
less time than is taken in ilie telling
way was cleared in front Of the door.
''Now shoot the first man who places
his foot upon that step" added the
general in his usual deliberate manner.
Then he turned and siroiled back to
the palace and his writing Within an
hour the mob had dispersed, subdued
by two men, one rife aud a riding
whip. And the lesson Is still kept in
good memory.

THE GOLDEN AGE.


There are no days Ike bygons days,
- thinks ;h. seniie heart;
no wsys there srs like ancient ways,
None now sneh bliss imp1rt:
For when shs vision back IS east
II sees a golden age:
Thsthears then sighs for all the past
And deems the action sage
The brightest days are coming days,
Aifirnls the youth IN giee;
And on the fnture Is his gaze
While present moments ice.
The golden age is yet to beam
Before his eager mind
And thus his thoughts with iustre gleam
As they their views nnb.nd.
But To the sensual epicare
The golden age Is nov;
" ith plenty near his joy Is sure,
And pleasure crowns his brow.
Within the present days he tries
To taste the ohiefest good,
Asserting that tile rich and wise
Arc those supplied with food.
The true philosopher is found
In looking up and on,
Away from sordid, earthly ground
Toward everlasting dawn;
The better lie beyond Us lies
Declares the sacred page;
Aud those who look with faiih-lit eyes
Discern the golden age
