The Patch work Quilt.

went off to fight:
could stand it through the daytime, but
as soon as it came night
All the horrid scenes of battle right be

So went to setting patchwork, just tc
ease my mind bit.
When I come to choose a pattern,

And it was little comfort, in those
days so dark and cold,
To have even that much of him which
my hand could grasp and hold.

dresses that they wore;
And their faces look familiar, but those

That have come from that good country
where the heavenly flowers grow

AS she sat serenely knitting in her big
old-fashioned chair;
Aunt Maria comes a-singing, and her
dress Of cherry red
Is no brighter than the sunshine that her
hopeful spirit shed.
Now I see some little children dancing

Highland plaid was Berries kilt;
And those tiny dots and figures were my
little Annie's frocks--
Oh, blessed thoughts and feelings sewed

DON'T FORGET THEM.
The Party Coll and the Bread and
Butter Letters.


Do not forget your party call and
your bread and butter letters, says the
Boston Advertiser. They are, in their
way, just as important as the party
and the visit themselves, and mean
much to your hostess.
Five weeks ago said a woman to

and whom she has just speeded with
good will on her way. She wishes to

safe and well, and not to comply
with such wish shows one lacking in
common courtesy. Yet it is a mistake
which excellent people often make.
Few people forget to call upon a
bride. but how many remember the

For Clean Comfortera

Many housewives complain about
washing bed-cOmforters, as the cotton
gets stiff and lumpy. never wash a
bed-comforter. Make slip of pretty
calico or sateen the same size as the
comforter. just as you would make a
Fellowship; hem the open end, and
when flushed have it about two inches
longer than the comforter. Now slip
it over the comforter, fold the hens
over each other. and haste down with
long stitches; the other three sides
tack to position about four inches
from the edge. When soiled it Is but
the work Of few minutes to take
off the slip, and after it is Numbered
it is quickly replaced. BY doing this
one can always have soft and clean
comfOrters. 1t is no extra expense.
as the slip saves wear and tear on the
cOmforters and makes them almost
everlasting. l also have slips on nv
mattresses Home Compan-

From polar to tropical tide;

The ships of no name and no haven,
The ships that shall never return.

r CHARM OF THE ORANGE.
The Evolution of the Universal
 Fruit of Commerce..

For centuries the orange was the cx. elusive possession of the Latin, Mon. golian md Malay races. Then 1t was carried to India, then to America and fell under the improving touch of the Anglo-SaXon. Bringing together the lncomparablc Jaffa, as seeding, from Palestine, tie Melltensis from Malta and others, he budded and grafted in F!cri!a until the fruit was brought, through blending and selection, to the highest pitch of perfection, as 1t seem cd.
 But, strangely enough, there came nGt of the province of Bolivia, Brazil stll another scedling--one of those con. sumnmte blossoms of perfection through centuries of waiting on na- turc by the Latin which the American accomplishes by cross pollination in i've ycars-the Bahia CT navel orange.

HISTORiC STAGECOACH.
Preserved Tn the Postal Museum at
 the National Capital.

One of the most interesting relics of obsolete postal service to be seen at the museum in Washington, says the Washington Post, is an old time Rocky Mountain combination passenger and mail coach, built in 1S0S This was among the first of its kind to carry the mails in Montana, the route of this par ticular coach being from Helena to Bozcman, the trip consuming a week. The residents along the same section now receive four mails daily. The coach was donated to the museum by $. s. Huntley, general manager of the Yellowstone Park Transportation con- pany. It was captured by Indians in 1877 and reca ptured after hot pur- suit by General Howard. Many dis tinguished persons have travelled In it, among them being General Garfield, be- fore he was president; President Ar thur, on a visit to Montana in 1883, and General Sherman, on Il tour of in spection in 1877. The latter was a pas senger when the coach made tbo dis tance from Fort Ellis to Helena, 10S miles, in eight hours, six horses being the team, with frequent relays.
 This antqucted affair on wheels is the simon pure, typical stagecoach of the Beade dime novel. The James brothers and the Fords may have en. riched themselves by footing this iden- tical relic of the west. There are front and rear boot, the former, under the drivers seat, being the repository of Uncle Saul's mail bags, the rear boot serving to carry baggage. Heavy leather springs and iron tires to the wheels half an inch thick enabled the vehicle to withstand the rough usage to which it was subjected.
