Kitchen Hints.

A whisk broom is just the thing
to clean a horseradish crater. !.
A special broom should be kept
for the kitchen and pavements.
Drain pipes should be regular
ly cleaned at least once a week,
with lime water, carbolic acid or
chloride of lime.
Pickles of vinegar will not keep
IN a jar that has ever had any
kind of grease kept in it.
Clam shells are more conven-
lent for scraping pots and kettles
than a knife, requiring less time
to remove the burnt surfaces.
If grease is spilled on the
kitchen floor or table, cold water
poured on it at once will prevent
the spot from soaking into the
wood,
Grease stains can be removed
from mating by first wetting
them with alcohol and then wash
ing them with suds made from
white CASTLE soap.
Put a little household ammonia
on a rag and clean off the rolls OF
a wringer before putting away.
If the ceiling becomes smoked
from a lamp, wash off the black
ened surface with a little weak
soda water.
Lamp chimneys may be quick
ly cleaned by rubbing them with
a clean soft cloth and polishing
with piece of newspaper.
A scorch mark, if not too heavy
may be removed by moistening
with water and laying in the sun.
Repeat the moistening two or
three times until the spots disap
pear.

Mrs. Hanford, a farmers wife,
near Williamsport, was in the
field on Wednesday assisting in
hay making. Her husband was
driving two oxen in the hay rake.
The animals stepped into yellow
Jackets nest. The bees attacked
the oxen, causing them to run
away. Mrs. Hanford ran to stop
them, but was knocked down.
The hay rake caught her and
dragged her fully 100 yards over
the ground before the oxen could
be stopped. Her injuries are such
that it, is feared she will die; if she
does recover, her back will be per-
manently injured.

THURSDAY, AUG. i.'19oi.
Tell the Truth.

The first thing boy needs to
learn is to tell the truth-the
plain unvarnished simple every
day truth. Truth will save a boy
heaps of trouble, no end of hard
work and a terrible strain upon
the memory and conscience.
When a boy tells lie he will gen
orally tell more to cover it up. 1t
may sometimes seem hard to tell
the truth the first time, but when
the boy has told it there is an end
to it, and victory has been gain
ed. When one has told the truth
once it is easy to tell it the next
time and be saved from the sting
ing whip of that old task master,
conscience. You will not have to
stop when you have done so to re-
member how you told it yester-
day. You won't have to look
around to see who is there who
may have heard you when you
told the story the first time.
You will not have to invent lot
of new lies to reinforce the old
one. And then il is foolish for
you to lie. You cannot pass off a
lie for the truth, any more than
you can get counterfeit money
into circulation without being
caught in the end. While you
tell lie somebody will know it.
The other boys know you are a
liar; your teacher knows it; your
parents know it. And people
who hear you tell whoppers know
it. And people who know it talk
about it TO each other, if they
don't speak of it to your face, and
say that the boy who is in the
habit of lying cannot be trusted
anywhere. 1t is a dreadful thing
to be liar. The boy who is in
the truth on all occasions is the
one whose conduct is generally
good. And how people do trust
truthful boy! They never worry
about him when he is out of their
sight. They never fear that he
is in bad company, and wonder
what will become of him in the
end. His parents don't have to
ask him where he is going when
he goes out of the house, and
don't have to call him back and
solemnly pray that he will not go
wrong. When he says Yes | will
and No won't just once settles
it.
He may go where he will and
we won't fret about him, says his
parents or guardians; he tells us
once and that is enough. They
don't have to say Sure? are you
sure now? when he tells any
thing.
They would as soon think of
asking the sun if it rose in the
East this morning. Boys tell the
truth for the sake of the truth,
and all good people will love and
respect you. The truth will
always be a comfort aud everlast-
ing blessing, while a lie will live
in the memory for fifty years if
you live as long.-Ex.

Thoughts on Man.

Many '1ord of creation" has
taken to fancy hosiery, even lace
effects. Worse yet, in some cases
he's the very man who said cut
ting things when the fair ones
under his wing adopted them
some years ago.
Have you noticed that the male
who will not allow his unhappier
half to wear even lounging robe
without belt is the very one to
go in his suspenders?-because,
forsooth, a belt gives him confin-
ed, uncomfortable sensation.
And of all sad sights the sus-
rendered shirt waist man is the
saddest.
The bigger and fatter the man
the more determined is he tocling
to the outside seat of the open
car. Twould serve him right if
some big woman who can hardly
pull past should drop on his lap
and so continue to her destina-
tion.
It's a scheme with some men
to send their wives away for the
summer. 1t gives the lady in the
case time to think what "a DEAR
hubby is anyway, and to long to
get back again.
Though man admire house
plants, never dream of leaving
them in his care if they be worth
anything. No matter what his
promises, they'll not be safe.

Parents cannot be too cautious
in the language they use in the
presence of their children. 1t
should always be the purest, and
above all things truthfulness and
an abstinence from gossip should
characterize it. Young minds
are exceedingly impressible and
oftentimes parents are respon.
sible for the follies of their off
spring, who in later days are sad
ly addicted to the habits they
acquire at home.
