A BOY WITH NO CHANGE"

Little Platt R. Spencer seemed born possessed with a desire to write. Liv- ing in the woods of the Catskills, with very little encoura cement for learning, from his earliest years his great wish seemed to be to make letters. Up to his Sth year he had never owned a sheet Of paper, but had marked on any smooth surface he had found. At this time he got hold of big copper cent, almost the first money he had seen. The desire of his heart could now be full filled. He entrusted his coin to lum- herman, and asked him to buy sheet of paper at Catskill, the lumber camp, twenty miles away. Late that night the messenger returned. The boy, wearied with waiting, had gone to bed. At the sound of the arrival he awoke,
 his first thought being of the promised
 paper He arose, and with feverish eagerness tried to make characters on the smooth, white surface. His hand was too untrained and the rude char acters little resembled letters. Disap- pointed, he returned to bed, only to take up the struggle on the following days,
 and conquer the difficulties. Paper he could not afford every day, especially as he moved soon with his father to the frontier, in Ohio. There birch bark, sand banks, snow drifts and ice were

his most frequent writing surfaces. His schooling was very meager-so he had to dig out his own learning by hickering candle light. Books were scarce and worth any hardship to pro cure. To continue the study of arith- metic, he had to have book, and heard that he could get one twenty miles away. It was winter and he had no shoes, but he walked barefoot on the frozen ground and secured his treasure. Darkness came on and found him miles from home. His only food had been frozen turnips, found in a field. At length he found settlers cabin, where he was sheltered for the night. Under such conditions he ac- quired g. fair education and developed a system of penmanship that for years was almost universal in American schools. Spencerian business colleges were established in forty cities. The boy who learned writing with so much difficulty made the task easier for thousands of boys and girls, and lived a beautiful and useful life on the horess of Lake Erie, wnere he lies bur led at Geneva, Ohio.--Success.

Putting Away Summer Clothes.


 The housekeeper who holds to the old fashioned way of putting away the summer clothes each fall without starching and ironing is preparing for herself days of constant labor of the most wearing kind when the first warm days of spring arrive and she is already worn out with spring sew ing or house cleaning or enervated with the languor which attacks every one with the coming of spring. The ob- jection that starch is apt to yellow and certain to weaken the fabric has no weight when one remembers that the clothes made up and kept on sale in the stores, as well as the prints and the muslins bought by the yard, are starched before they leave the fac tory. Handkerchiefs, too, are invari- ably starched when in the store, and surely they do not grow yellow.-Ex change.

REPAIRING FURNITURE.
Making Whole, Cleaning and Bright-
 ening Up For the Winter.

ening Up For the Winter.
 There is always a greater or less amount of work to be done to pat household furniture in repair for the winter, but much of this may be done at home.
 In the first place, every piece that be- comes loosened from an article of fur niture or every part that is broken or splintered off should be saved and put in a place by themselves where they may readily be found. Prepare for work by purchasing a bottle of liquid glue of good quality and a bottle of rubbing oil. The latter is such as is used in furniture factories for giving an oil finish to furniture and may be obtained at such factory or repair shop or probably at a large drug store.
 Apply as much glue as the fracture demands and press the piece closely in place, wiping off the superf1uous glue Many pieces can be tied together till the glue sets; other pieces can be laid down flat and an iron placed upon them to keep them securely in place. Use no more glue than is necessary After the gluing is done and the glue has had time to set you are ready to apply the rubbing oil. First, however, any pieces of furniture that are dirty or greasy should be cleaned
 Oiled furniture may be cleaned by dipping a woolen cloth in kerosene and rubbing thoroughly, or it may be wash ed in studs by using good white soap. The latter will take off the finish more, but this can be restored. The chamber sets, sewing machine, dining chairs and table, desk-all such articles will be vastly improved if rubbed over in this way.
 Willow or rattan chairs should have an oak or cherry stain applied with good brush so as to penetrate all parts. This stain comes mixed ready to apply and is kept at any drug or paint store.
 A pretty finish for some chairs is a coat of prepared enamel, either white or colored. This comes in< liquid ready for use and is to be applied with brush. The woodwork, too, may be given little gliding or bronze at slight expense by using the paints to be had at any drug or paint store. Such a chair upholstered in white corduroy or velours is especially dainty and pretty.

Items of Health and Beauty.

Good health has come into fashion.
 Massage after the bath stimulates the skin.
 After shampooing the hair should never be dressed until it is thoroughly dry.
 One hindrance to health is the wear ing of unnecessary clothing. The body breathes in part through the skin.
 The best fabric for wash cloths is the slightly rough white raw silk, and, wanting this, the Turkish cloths are next in value.
 A little boraK softens the water and makes it .velvety. A little ammonia removes all odor of precipitation. A handful of sea salt makes the water rather harsh, but most invigorating
