THE OLE DINNER BELL.

There's !; music 97i in the lowin of the cattle on
An in the lazy laughter of the waterfalls
an rills
In the sngin' Of the buebird an the hum
min of the bee,
An the. ole woodpecker peckin' on the
- holler sugar tree.
There's music in the blossom an the clear
blue OF the sky,
In the screamin' of the chicken hawk
acirclin' way up high;
But the sweetest songs OF June time ain
nowheres near a smell
10 the music long at noontime OF the ole
dinner bell.
When plowin' in the distant fields. clean
out o sight o home,
A-wlshln', too, with all your heart that
dinner time would come
on watch the turries stretch away aroun'
the lower bend,
An potter round bit before you start for
t'other end,
An you bend your head an listen to ketch
the welcome sound,
An Ca iclate it's pimt nigh noon by shad-
ders on the ground,
When through the hazy atmosphere, your
longin' to dispel,
Comes the fur-off silv'ry music of the ole
dinner bell.
When the harvest day is over an the toll
ers' work is done,
Over waviin' corn an clover tinted by the
settin sun.
Low an sweet the distant music of the
ole bell floats along;
Borne upon the evenin' breezes, mingled
with the reapers' song,
An you look acrost the medder. past the
ole crick windin' through.
Where the ringer sweet is waitin' with
welcome there for you.
Oh, there, amt no joys Of summer that can
strike you quite so well,
AS the rlngin', when you're hungry, of the
ole dinner bell.

News.

USEFUL JANELLE WATER.

Every laundresS should use jayelle
water. A small teacup of the fluid
added to a boiler of water will assist
materially in keeping the clothes white
and will not injure them in the least.
The most obstinate stains Of fruit, tea,
coffee, etc, on the tablecloths and nap
kins will usually succumb to an APP
plication of one part of javelle water
diluted with four parts of soft water.
If the stained article is soaked in this
fluid for several hours and then thor
Oughly washed and rinsed, it will usu-
ally come out perfectly clean and
white. Only white goods can be treat
ed in this way, however, as javelle
water is likely to fade colors.
1t is made as follows: Place four
pounds of bicarbonate of soda in a
large granite or porcelain lined pan,
and pour over it four quarts of hot
water. Stir with stick until the soda
has dissolved, add q pound of chloride
of lime, and stir cntil this also has
dissolved. Allow the liquid to cool in
the pan, strain the clear portion
through thin cloth into wide mouthed
bottles or jugs and cork tightly for use.
The part that contains the aediment
may also be bottled and used for scrub
bling sinks, tables and anything to
which grease is liable to adhere.
AS an aid to the housewife in doing
washing quickly and easily this fluid
is unsurpassed. The quantity which
L, i.
may be lessened by dividing by two or
four as the case may be. One-fourth
of the items named will be enough to
last for three or four washings.-New
York Daily News.

CLEANING LIGHT CLOTH.

CLEANING LIGHT CLOTH.
Wraps of white or pale-colored cloth
such as are so fashionable at present
Tor dress occasions, soon succumb to
the influences of our dirt-flled atmos-
phere. Every touch leaves its mark on
them. One of the best ways TO care
for these delicate coats is to have
constantly on the toilet table a bottle
Of strong boraX water, say teaspoon
ful Of borax to a pint of water, dis
solved while the water is hot.
When the first suggestion Of soil
appears, rub it with Il fresh piece of
cotton dipped in boraX water. IL the
spot is difficult to get out, use two
or three fresh pieces of cotton, so that
the soil is not scattered, and rub brisk
ly to keep the water from soaking into
the cloth.
This treatment will remove dust,
mud spots and also Precipitation stains.
1t is wise to treat Il spot as soon as
possible after it is acquired, as every
hour makes any soil in cloth more diff
cult to get out. While cleaning thor
oughly, Dorax water does not leave the
ugly circle of stain that gasoline SO
often does.

Insect Resembles Beautiful Flower.

Living specimens of a queer insect
have lately been shown in Cambridge,
England. They were brought from
Rangoon by Captain c. E. Williams.
The insect is a species of mantis, and
its body and legs are both shaped and
colored to resemble beautiful flower
1t feeds on butterflies, and while it is
lying in wait for them under a spray of
leaves it looks exactly like a blue bios
som with black spot in the centre re-
sembling the tube of a carolla. The
black part of the body is drawn out
into a long green stalk. The resem-
blance to a flower is perfect, and but
terfiies and other insects light ON it
in search o. nectar and are immediate
ly seized by its fatal claws.-Philadel-
phia Record.

When an Oil Lamp Was a Curiosity.

C. NJ. Shackelford a Shelby County
pioneer was the first man to introduce
oil in the county. Some time i'll the
sos he listed ST. Louis and brought to
Shelbyville two lamps and couple OF
gallons of oil.
When the citizens of the village
learned it there was considerable ex-
citement-much more than when the
electric lights were turned on a few
years ago. About 400 people gathered
at the store to watch Mr.. ShackeIford
take his life in his hands. He loaded
up the lamp, turned the wick and pre-
pared for illumination by fastening a
paper lighter on the end of a stick.
The crowd looked uneasy, but didn't
run, and the new lighting works was
an entire success. Oil cost SO per gall
lon. Mr.. Shackelford bought some TO
introduce the improvement among his
fellow citizens, but he only disposed of
a gallon the following year.-Clarence
Mo) Courier.
