Sly Joking In the Pulpit.

Before 1 went to college," said a
minister of this city, 81 did supply.
work on a certain charge one summer.
In the Methodist church we had serv-
ice morning and evening. There was
a Presbyterian church in the village,
and the pastor from another village
supplied it, preaching there once a
hear him one afternoon. He was a col
lege bred man and was supposed to be
away up. When he spied me in the
congregation, he came down and asked
me to assist in the opening exercises.
When we were seated, he asked me to
read the first lesson and at the same
time announced that it was a certain
chapter in the book of Numbers. Just
before I was to read 1 reached up to
the desk and took down the Bible and
opened at the place. 1 glanced down
over the chapter and saw that it was
a mass of unpronOunceable names. 1
knew that he was working a joke on
me- He knew that I could not get
away with those names. I said moth
ing, but when the time came I stood up
and announced the chapter following
and read it.
when 1 sat down, he gave me a
look, and he got one back. whispered
hoarsely, L guess not Those were the
only words spoken on this subject

on the f1y) before removing either coat
or hat. At least 10 seconds may be
economical in this way. Once seated,
the luncher falls to on anything at
hand - bread, cold slaw, crackers or
catchup. When the dish ordered ar
rives, he gets his fork into it as it ap-
pears over his shoulder and cleans the
plate before the sauce makes its ap-
pearance, so that is eaten by itself or
with bread.
Cups of coffee or tea go down in two
swallows. Little piles of cake are cut
in quarters and disappear in four

waste of energy.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PICNlCS.

A successful picnic must have a
good manager,-one who will see that
provision is made for the necessities
of the excursion, and not leave them
to chance.
The spot selected should be near
enough to dwelling house to obtain
cold water, unless there is a spring
nearby, or one can manage to carry
this in bottles.
If coffee is to be made, Or fish
fried, cooking utensils must be taken,
also cups and saucers, unless these
can be obtained at the dwelling house;
in the latter case this should be ar
ranged for beforehand, or by inter-
view. that one may be certain of them
at the time desired. An old table
cloth and some paper napkins add
much to the comfort of the lunch.
A plentiful supply of pickles and
olives, with lemons and sugar to
make lemonade, is wise provision,
and cold tea with lemon and sugar.
and cold coffee prepared with sugar
and cream, is sure to be enjoyed by
many of the party, and can be safely
carried in fruit jars, if carefully pack
ed. For those who are dependent
upon hot tea, one of the pocket al
cohol lamps will be convenient for
preparing i6, if fire may not be
built.
For sweets, tumblers of jelly and
marmalades are appetizing with bis
cults, and fresh fruit will be found
very grateful. Avoid cake and pie,
as they are apt to arrive in mussy
condition.-Househo1d.

Wireless Te1eEraphy.

Electricians used to the older meth
DDS of telegraphy and business men in
terested in them are SOMEWHAT reluc-
tant to acknowledge the possibilities OF
"wireIess biography" just as gas en-
gineers were slow to believe in electric
lighting It is human nature. Unable
to deny that Marconi has been success
full in a measure, some telegraph engi-
neers are disposed to limit the wireless
telegraph to short distances of few
miles and say it will only be useful for
coast communication to lightships, etc.
Professor r. A. Fessenden, however,
in the transactions of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers"
shows that Marconis law for the range
of signaling-namely, that it is pro-
portional to the product of the heights
of the vertical wires used at the send
ing and receiving stations-has ra-
tionaI basis, and therefore, with high
enough sending and receiving wires as
we'll as powerful sparks and slight i'm
provements in the apparatus, the range
might be carried 1000 miles or more

Where whittier worshiped.

A silver tablet has been placed in the
Quaker meeting house in Amesbury,
Mass, where Whittier used to worship.
1t was built in 1851, and the details Of
it's construction were left by the socie-
ty to the care of Mr.. Whittier. AS the
poet had mixed with the worlds peO-
pie more than most of his brethren,
some conservative friends feared he
would provide too many modern COM
forts. To set their hearts at rest in
this manner Whittier employed as
builders three venerable carpenters,
one of whom was a Quaker minister
and the other two elders of the society.
The result was the neat and cOmforta-
BILE but entirely plain house now stand
ing in Friend street. The seat habit
ually occupied by Mr.. Whittier was on
the right side of the aisle.

Trapped the Trapper.

In sketches of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert s. Evans mar
rates the rash exploit of an over
sanguine bear hunter:
A venturesome Yankee came to San
Ia Barbara some years ago and soon
became an adept at throwing the lasso.
Hearing the Mexican cowboys talk of
lassoing the grizzly bear, he decided
TO show them what he could do in that
line if he ever got q chance.
One day he came upon a grizzly in
a favorable locality. He threw the
lasso with skillful aim and refined back
his trembling horse to give the bear
an astonisher, when the reata-which
is always attached to the pommel Of
the saddle-came up taut.
Judge of the mans astonishment
when that bear quietly assumed a sit
ting posture, took hold of the lasso
and began to draw it in hand over
hand.
The hapless descendant of the pill
grim fathers stuck TO the horse and
saddle until he saw the slack all drawn
in and the bear and the horse coming,
rapidly together. Then, in a panic,
he descended and ran for tree, aban-
doning the horse to it's fate.
Two skillful men, operating from op-
posite sides, can master a bear and
choke him between them, but with
only one man, one horse and one bear,
it is another story.

OUR FARMERS.
A BAD WEED.

One of the worst weeds in Vermont,
northern New York and adjoining
| territory is the Orange Hawkweed or
Paintbrush. 1t is comparatively new,
| having been introduced in recent
years, and is gaining ground very
rapidly in localities favorable to it.
1t is European plant, though not
land. 1t was brought over from
Europe as flower garden plant, and
is still sometimes sold by seedsmen
and planted by gardeners in Europe
and America.
The first plants in Vermont came
from seeds distributed as a premium
by one of the leading agricultural
journals of New York state. Within
the last decade the plant has .been
spreading as a weed in an alarming
manner. Investigations at the Yer
mont experiment station have shown
that it is already the worst weed
known in some parts of Vermont, and
is continuing each year to invade new
areas. 1t is easily recognized by it's
flame red flowers and spreading hairy
leaves. The first blossomes open in
June. If these are moved it continues
to send up scattering flower stalks
during the rest of the summer.
Fortunately clean cultivation will
kill it wherever it is practiced. One
of the serious difficulties is that the
weed is allowed to spread along many
roadsides to the menace of the ad-
| jacent farm lands.
The really great danger, however,
is that it rapidly invades the rocky
soil of hill pastures, and when once
fully established in such places it is
practically impossible to exterminate
| it. The owners of such fields should
carefully guard them againstit. Every
plant found should be promptly un-
rooted or, better still, killed out by
salt. The weed is very sensitive to
salt, which should be scattered broad
cast to reach the leaves of all plants.
If not too much salt is used, it may
serve as fertilizer to the grass. The
salt does not act as poison, but kills
the weeds by drawing the water out
of the leaves. In order to act most
thoroughly, therefore, dry salt (not
brine) should be applied, and this
should be done during dry, hot
weather.

LADIES' COLUMN
HINTS.

To remove white spots from furni
ture rub with spirits of camphor
One cup-a standard half-pint
measuring cup or ordinary tea cup.
: Clean oilcloths with milk and
water; brush and soap will ruin
them.
Clean gilt picture frames with the
water in which onions have been
boiled.
A pinch of soda placed in milk
which is to be scalded will prevent it's
curdling.
After preparing onions wash the
hands in cold water with little salt
but no soap.
Teaspoons or tablespoons are al
ways to be measured level unless
otherwise stated.
Nice housekeepers dust with
dampened cloth and rinse it out
after each busting.
A small piece of charcoal placed in
vase with flowers will keep them
fresh for several days.
Water in kettles or sauce-pans
will evaporate quickly on rainy day,
or on the approach of storm.
In storing curtains, shirt waists,
etc., always put them away rough
dry, as the starch will rot the fabric.
Never wash raisins that are to be
used in sweet dishes. 1t will make
the pudding heavy. To clean them
wipe in dry towel.
Mix little carbonate of soda with
the water in which flowers are i'm
mersed, and it will keep them for
fortnight. Common saltpetre is al
so good preservative.
When putting away the silver tea
Or coffee pot which is not used every
day, lay little stick across the top
under the cover. This will allow the
fresh air to get in, and prevent
mustiness.
Brass ornaments may be cleansed
by washing them with rock alum
which has been dissolved in boiling
hot water. Washing ammonia, APP
piled with a flannel cloth, will also
clean brass.
With very little labor, washing sill
yer in water in which a teaspoonful
of ammonia has been added will keep
the silver with a white polish, and
glassware will polish much more cas-
lily if washed in water to which am
monia has been added.
Another recipe for cleaning silver
is highly recommended: Mix two
ounces of ammonia, two of prepared
chalk and eight ounces of rain water;
apply with soft flannel and rub with
chamois skin. For the filagree work
use a silver brush.-Erchange

OREGON'S BOILING SPRINGS.
Farmers Sca1d Hogs In Them, and a
Laundry Is to Be Established.

Farmers ScaId Hogs In Them, and a
Laundry Is to Be Established.
G. Grimes, the owner Of the hot
springs two miles south of Lakeview,
Or, has decided to put in a laundry
plant there and convert the millions Of
gallons of hot water that are going to
waste to laundry purposes. There is
only a small amount Of it now being
used for bathing purposes. The water
boils out of these springs and runs to
waste in a volume two feet wide and
six inches deep and at a distance Of 100
yards, in ordinary weather, is at the
boiling point. During winter or sum-
mer ranchers scald their hogs in the
stream near the spring and do it as
quickly as it is done in the watts pre-
pared for that purpose by the butchers.
Within a radius of three miles of
Lakeview there are three of these
springs, and all are very large. 1t is
claimed that move is on foot to con-
vert the hot water from some Of these
springs to use in a wool washing
plant The wool is shipped in it's
natural state, and the expense of wash
ing is said to be enormous, but the
washing would cost but nominal sum
with such natural facilities.
While the water has great medicinal
qualities and various diseases have
been permanently cured by bathing in
the streams, yet it beaches well
when used for laundry purposes and
will not injure the texture of the goods,
either wooden or cotton.
Two Of tho largest SDriQgS are going
to waste, only the one owned by Mr..
Grimes having heretofore been utilized
at all. He has a couple Of small swim
ming vats inclosed in board shacks,
and people go out and pay % cents
occasionally for a swim. - Portland
