Suggestions for Housekeepers.

Housekeepers may be glad to
know that instead of lard or bacon
rind turnip cut in half and the
griddle thoroughly rubbed with the
raw side will answer the purpose of
greasing, fry the cakes a nice rich
brown, and there will be no sticking,
and no odor or taste of turnip.
There is no smoke and mess as
when lard is used, nor is the nice
flavor of the buckwheat destroyed
as by the use of grease.
Clean your iron cooking utensils
with a piece of soft red brick.
Brown paper moistened in vinegar
will polish your tins until they shine
like silver.
Rub a drop of olive oil on your
knives and forks before putting away
and they will retain their. brig ightness
and be free from rust.
TO clean fat-irons, rub them on
green cedar.-Woman's Home Com
panion.

at the Philadelphia mint. AS fast
as the gold is coined and deposited
in the vaults, the Treasury Depart.

amount. Last Saturday S2,000,000

The novel uI2obinson Cr,soo,, v,o,

The novel "Robinson Crusoe" was
founded on the experiences of a GER
tain Alexander Selkirk, who presided
four years on the island of Juan Fer
nandez, in the Pacific Ocean, says
w. b. Northrop, in ST. Nicholas.
Capt. Rogers, commander of the
vessel which rescued Selkirk, related
the story, and Defoe afterwards
worked it up into the narrative now
SO familiar to all. 1t was for this
reason that Defoe was accused of
pilfering the manuscript, and even
to having stolen many letters belong
ing to Selkirk. Defoe is said to have
made q snug fortune from the sale Of
"Robinson Orusoe," and out of the
proceeds of the book to have built
fine honse for himself in suburb of
London. So, it must have won in
stant popularity.

A Mistake Many Are Making.

A little girl saw picture of the
tabled Atlas bearing the world on
bis shoulders. She noted the strong
man struggling under his heavy bur-
den, his head bowed forward, his
shoulders strained, his every muscle
tense, his face and form showing
signs of painful effort and endurance,
and her tender heart went out to
him in pity. "Father," she asked in
anxious earnest, "why doesn't that
man lay that thing down ?" And
her fathers answer was: "Because
he supposes that he ought to carry
the whole world on his shoulders"
And his is mistake that a great
many Of us are making. How many
of the burdens that oppress us are
burdens that we have no call to
carry We worry over matters that
are outside of our sphere, and we are
ready TO sink beneath the weight of
cares and anxieties that would better
be left to him who alone can carry
them. Whatever we have to carry,
the Lord will give us strength to up
bear; but there is many q burden
which we would do well to cast on
the Lord, because it is His burden for
us and not ours for Him.-The

Law and Order Is TO Prevail.

Augusta, Ga, May 12.-An assault
was committed on a young white wo-
man in the neighborhood of Appling
a few nights ago. The young lady
is the daughter of a prominent miller
near the county seat, and it seems
that the negro entered her bed cham
ber in the night. The hue and cry
was raised and the negro was caught
by the white people Of the vicinity.
At first a lynching seemed imminent,
and it was only avoided by some of
the cooler heads in the neighbor-
hood, who did not want the brand of
lawlessness put on their settlement.
1t was finally agreed among the men
who had congregated to allow the
law to take it's course, provided the
law was not too slow. The assault
occurred during the early part of
last week and has been kept a secret
in the neighborhood until to-day.

The Pledge at the Garden Gate.

There are some young people who
object to the temperance pledge on
the ground that it is q surrender of
ones freedom. But a successful
merchant, who left his Vermont
home many years ago, found it pre-
server of freedom. This is the ex-
perience as he related it in after life

preference, but at last with her con-
sent, arrangements were made for
me to ship on vessel from New
York. Well do remember the
morning when left the home cot
tage on the hillside, all my little be-
longings tied up in parcel that was
swung on stick which / carried
over my shoulder. My mother fol-
lowed me to the garden gate, and
there she kissed me goodbye and
passed down the road. At turn in
the road | glanced back to take one
more look at our cottage. My
mother was still standing at the gate.
Some impulse carried me back to get
one more kiss.
"Promise me- said she, promise
me that you will never swear nor
gamble nor drink and / promised
her and sealed it with kiss, as the
tears rolled down her cheeks and
mingle with my own.
