BLACKBERRY JUICE.

If people understood how valuable
as a medicine blackberry juice-not
wine-is, they would bestlr them
selves to preserve as much as posi-
BILE. In all summer complaints its
equal cannot be found as a food and
medicine. I have known many chill
dren's lives to be saved by it. There
are two ways of keeping: One is
canning the berries and straining it
out as you need it the other is
straining and bottling. Boil half an
hour with cork stopper in bottle.
When done press stopper in tightly ;
tie a cloth over it and put away in a
dark place It would be we'll to take
the vessel in which they we're boiled
from the fire and let the water get
cold before taking up the bottles, as
the cold air might break them. All
kinds of fruit juice can be preserved
this way.-Mrs. A. A. Watkins, War
rem Co., N. G.

JOHN C. CALHOuN's FORMAL woo1NG.

1900
He Wrote but One Love Letter to His Pretty
Sweetheart.
Though an ardent lover fretting at
times slow course until his wedding
day, John G. Calhoun wrote but one
letter to his sweetheart-his pretty
cousin Floride Calhoun. All the
other communications, when the lov-
r ere separated, we're made
through her mother. But shortly
before their marriage 1.-the Great
Nullitier" wrote expressing his anxi-
ETY. for the arrival of the happy day,
and the letter recently come to light
is published in in the May Ladies'
Home Journal. After giving hearty
expression to the JOY he has found in
her company the letter runs: go =
It gives me much satisfaction that
time and absence make no impress
sion on my love for you it glows
with no less ardor than at the mo-
ment of parting, which must be a
happy omen of it's permanent nature.
When mere personal charms attract,
the impression may be violent but
cannot be lasting, and it requires the
perpetual presence of the object to
keep it alive; but when the beauty
of mind, the soft and sweet DISPOSE
ton, the amiable and lovable charac-
ter embellished with innocence and
cheerfulness are united to the at
fractions of personal beauty, it bids
defiance to time. Such, my dear
Florlde, + the arms by which you
have Conquered, and it is by these
the durability Of your sovereignty is
established over your subject whom
you hold in willing servitude. May
God preserve you. Adieu, my love:
my hearts delight. 1 am your true
lover. n.-a .r r.

customers, whether it is behind a
counter, in a ftting-room, in a MILL
ner's shop, or wherever else the
woman who has a want encounters
another who can supply it. These
people are aided by the ready hand,
the sincerely interested mind and the
pleasant smile. 1t makes the GUS
toner grateful, the owner of the es-
tablishment is enriched and the
sweet-mannered young woman makes
a growth in true womanliness and
refinement every time she exercises
patience and tact and good taste,
and makes a tiresome necessity
pleasant.
Yesterday, a friend thought she
had seriously tried the endurance of
a charming young girl, and said:
81 have given you so much trou-
BILE to-day that I will have to prom,
Use not to bother you again for a
month"
The young saleswoman, in hand
ing her customer the ribbons which
had been so hard to match, said,
with a delightful smile:
Don't stay away a month;
please"
The lady who had been sorry to be
so particular came away quite in
love with her gracious young helper,
and said:
81 would go a long way to have
the pleasure of buying anything
from the lovely girl"
Do you see how threefold the ben
eft was? The shopper, a delicate
woman, was made to forget fatigue,
the firm won a steady customer and
the young saleswoman made a true
friend.
COURTESY TOWARD CHILDREN.
Great injury is done not only to
the present happiness of children but
to their future character and conduct
by lack of politeness in our inter.
curse with them. Their possessions
are their own. How often do we
forget that. They are ridiculous
trifes, they are worthless and in
our way, yet we have no right to
throw them out and burn them,
without warning Or consultation. A
sisters or an aunt's gentle persua
sion will do much to gain pleasant
consent to yield up the treasures
which cucumber too much space or
are laid down in improper places. A
box or basket provided to hold these
priceless sticks and stones, and
once or twice a little pleasant aid in
gathering them, and the collector
will be gained over to what he sees
will surely preserve his property and
at the same time the little fellow will
have learned respect for other peo-
pies property and the proper way
to ask leave to touch and handle.
While mothers are busy with their
often overwhelming duties, it Otter
happens that to an elder sister much
care of the children who are able to
amuse themselves is given, and here
she will have a delightful chance to
help them to acquire the attractive
manner which is such a help in fu-
ture life, and give them practical
demonstration of the comfort and
10y of a home governed by courtesy
