Uncle Sans Big Checks.

From the Boston Herald
Uncle Sam has paid big bills abroad be-
fore now, but this Panama payment
tons them all. Six years ago he paid
Spain $4,000. 900 on account of the Philip
pines, but the amount was sent in four
warrants of s5,0OoOcO each. Previous to
that the most historical warrants were
e 900 900 issued to Russia in payment for
Alaska in 1868 and S,5o0oOO paid England
forwards in Halifax fishing infringe
ments.

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Well, greet you this week in the midst of real
summer weather. The spring has been so cool
that to-day's temperature has seemed oppressive.
l am so glad that you came to US, @. E. M. Your
letter is a breeze from the mountains, and we en-
joyed its balmy breath. S. Ell. HIS letter is time
ly, for we all are beginning to tire of carpets as
the days grow long and warm. A floor properly
stained is comfort and, with a few rugs properly
placed, looks well, and is so much cooler. So
many women work themselves over time trying to
keep a plain pine floor clean, when they could pro-
duce the same effect in half the time if they would
stain the floor. You will learn how to do this if
you read S. III. HIS letter. The cracks may be
filled with old newspapers torn in bits and then
let stand in warm water until they become a thick
mass. Use a case knife to put it in, being sure to
pack it tightly.
Mrs. S.. E. Ms letters are always good and this
one this week unusually so. The advice to boys
is excellent. No man has any right to ask a girl
to be his wife if he wants a cook or wash woman
unless he knows that she is perfectly willing to
serve in both capacities and has learned the best
methods. Mismatched couples are not compan-
most prolific cause of divorce. 1t all begins in de-
ception ~practiced before marriage. Don't pre-
tend to know how to do things unless you are
sure that you do know. Don't believe that love
will live always if not nourished by at least a de-
gree of congeniality.

That Book You Borrowed?
BERTHE Co., N. G.

You asked for it.. It was loaned with pleasure
and you said "Thank you ever so much, I will re-
turn it just as soon as I finish reading it." That
was all pleasant. The preliminaries were well
carried out. But, how about it now? 1t was
four weeks or four months, OF maybe four years
since you said that "Thank you" and still that
book keeps up it's headquarters in your bookcase
or maybe among some rubbish. The book would
like so much to get back home. IF it could speak
it would likely say, "Now, you have used me, you
throw me down and do not try to carry me back
where I belong"
We have sometimes thought books had legs to
walk off. We have never thought that they had
man, or. woman either, for that matter, to have
books piled up on his shelves belonging to his
neighbors.
You were SO polite when you got that book. If
the owner should write you a polite note to please
return it, would you feel hurt and say in your
heart, "I didn't think he would have done itY'
And that book you took out from the library
of the Sunday-school, or other public library. It
was loaned to you and not given. We have had
experience in replenishing Sunday-school libra
ries. Books continually go out that never come
back. Oh no, do not accuse those folks of steal
ing, for they are good Christian people, and that
would be a reflection on them.
And seriously, would it not be well to look over
your books and get out those you have failed to
return to their rightful owners and take them
back with genuine apologies? Try it.
1t will make toward peace and good will. It is
every day justice. Get the Book of books and
read therein the Golden Rule. That will tell you
just what to do.-North Carolina Baptist.

love to go for rambles over the mountains and
pick flowers and hear the dear little birds sing
their sweet songs. But we have to work for a liv-
ing and don't get time to get lonesome. I like
fancy work of all kinds, especially crocheting,
I make a lot of lace during winter when it is too
cold to do anything else.
We get a great many papers, and among them
The Progressive Farmer, to cheer us up every
week. I always turn to read Aunt Jennie's letter
first, and then the Chatterers next. Speaking the
truth, I think girls who never lived on a farm
have missed the best part of living.
Oh! / had forgot to tell you / like sewing bet
ter than any work I have ever tried, and some

this will reach that dreadful wastebasket, so I will
not waste any more paper and ink.

AUNT JENNIE.
An Excellent Floor Stain.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-A young beginner in
housekeeping who reads Aunt Jennie's page every
week says she has used several of my recipes with
success, and asks me to send a good hoor-stain, as
several of her carpets need renovating and she
thought best to make rugs of two of them and
stain around them. I advise such a method often,
and / have used this stain which is inexpensive
and easy to take care of. 1t is made by mixing
one pint of linseed oil to a tablespoonful of burnt
lumber; and you apply it with a clean paint brush,
rubbing it in evenly. Put on a second coat after
a few days and first try a little of the stain on a
piece of wood or block to see the color. You can
make it lighter by putting more oil, or darker by
putting more lumber. If there are cracks between
the boards, fill them before the stain is applied.
Get the floors perfectly clean, if not the stain will
not adhere firmly to the floor, but will peel off,
and show a clouded surface beneath. Mop it up
when it needs it with a little warm borax water.
I am very glad to help any of my sister house
keepers. For this is what / best love to do: Give
what / know to be good recipes, and methods
which 1 have tried myself. I used this stain for
years. ;. II. II.

From a Mountain Girl.
Scott Co., Ky.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-Win you permit another
lonesome girl to come in to your social corner
this lonesome, rainy Sunday, and while aawy the
time so pleasantly? 1t is lonesome here, the best
you can make it, especially when it is raining. But
as there are two of us girls and one boy, we get
along very well. We live seven miles from church
ON a little farm in the old mountains of North
Carolina, with horses, cows, sheep, hogs, and fowls
of all kinds, and / would not exchange my busy
life for the hot city life where water, wood and
everything you eat, is to buy.

A Little Advice to Young People.
Macon Co., N. c..

Dear Aunt Jennie IF the contributors to So
cial Chat do not bestir themselves Jim Dorman
will receive the prize this time. His solution of
the problem about the broken tree is correct, I
suppose, as he gives correct answer. I understand
all his work except how he arrives at 200 x. [ will
thank him very much if he will make that plain.
Whatever may be said concerning boys wasting
their time, I am quite certain that he has i'm
proved his, for his letter plainly tells that he is
both studious and thoughtful. His allegation
that, generally, parents allow too much liberty to
their children at the present time, is certainly cor
rect.
But as for the young ladies' part I think they
are in nowise to be censured, since 1T is impossi-
bic for them to refuse to associate with men who
have demoralized themselves, because in many in
stances, the men are the brothers, husbands or Ct
am sorry to say fathers, of the most excellent
ladies. This idea, I think, I have advanced before
now.
I have never read Gordon Keith" but however
lovely the Character" may be represented, 1 am
happy to say the equal may be found again and
again in our beloved old North Carolina. For in
stance, there is Elder John Mitchell, D. D., whom
T have known from my childhood up, and who is
known all over the State and elsewhere, and of
whom no one dares to speak evil. And there are
O"AO4c o1O 100000" 1890 OAO O~CS 49,"
can bear witness.
And now, Aunt Jennie, with just a few words
to the young men I will close. The young ladies
are advised, over and often, how to select hus-
bands. But it seems to be taken for a fact, that
men can make no mistakes in the selection of
wives. Or if they do, that the man being the
stronger of the married couple can mould his wife
to suit his own fancy. And / am quite certain
that many young men are of this opinion, but
nothing can be farther from the truth. So, young
man, I would advise you that when you make
choice of a wife, choose one that suits you. Do
not be so fascinated by a little pershable beauty
that you are incapable of discovering any imper-
fections.
IF you want a cook, do not take a lady that
has been raised never to look in the kitchen, for
no woman, Or man either, is willing to be placed
in a condition inferior to that in which she or
he has been raised. And if you want an econom-
ical wife, and you have reason to suppose that a
certain young lady is extravaganza, make your
choice elsewhere, for it is by no means pleasant
to either party, for the husband to hold on to his
purse, as if he considered his wife a thief, and
imagined she would destroy all his earnings. And

Summer in the Farm Kitchen.

There are many foods a farmers wife can use
during the summer, when pork and chickens are
the only meat supplies at hand. With plenty
of milk, cream, butter, eggs, vegetables and fruit,
she ought to be able to set a very good and health
full table, even if the butcher makes only a weekly
visit. Some of the things she might keep on
hand to take the place of fresh meat are dried
Goldfish, which can be prepared in various deli
cious ways, dried beef for Dreaming, beans for
baking and soups, which are almost as rich In
nourishment as meat. Occasionally purchase a
goodsized soup bone and make a pot full of rich
stock. Pour it hot into two Or three stone jars,
putting in each about the quantity required for
one meal. Set them away when cooled in a cold
place and leave the cake of fat untouched; it will
preserve the soup. just as paraffne shuts the air
for a week and each portion may be the basis for
a different soup.
Eggs can be prepared in so large a variety of
ways that they will frequently make the chief dish
in a dinner; then there is a long list of satisfying
creamed vegetable soups, corned beef, which is
generally to be had in plenty in every farmhouse,
ham, cold or hot, an occasional dish of tripe and
picked tongue. These, with plenty of vegetables,
varied by rice and macaroni, will provide a large
abundance of good, healthful fare.
