If the cellar Is the least damp the
gum bands on the Jars of fruit will
mold, and this frequently causes many
jars of fruits to spoil. Paper coffee
boxes which are lined with para1lin are
splendid for holding jellies, while pa
per wrapped around the Jars and lot
ties will keep them dry. clean and FREQ
from moisture. 1t is best to label tho
wrapped pieces when put away. By
throwing lime on the cellar floor and
whitewashing the walls the cellar will
not be as liable to spoil the fruit as if
it were not done. An old organ box

A simple way to shorten wash linen
or crash skirts that have a deep hem
at the bottom is to take up a tuck on
the inside of the hem. This need not
be stitched on a machine or very par
ticularly sewn, as the starch used in
the laundry will hold it in position,
and it can be more easily ripped if the
washing shrinks the material.

that hateful Yenner had no business

mate responded. Gle always looks like

"Oh, don't know. He might be

Alice Landon's duties were not exact

ances now and then, but they did not
discourage her. One day, however, a
more serious dispute arose over sale
that Alice had made, and the purchaser.

declared that certain piece Of lace

the sale very well and knew that the
woman was mistaken. Consequently,
she held her ground, and the woman

A little later Alice was summoned by

She found the manager there and the
irascible matron.

The Launch Of the Leaves.
The yellow leaves go sailing down the
stream
Whose whispering waters run to
seek the sea,
Where slender alders and pale aspens
And every wych-elm seems golden

Amber, and brown, and red the light
leaves float;
You cannot see the Pixy at the
prov,
But each gay galleon is a faery's
boat
The good folk throng the craft from
poop to bow.
You cannot hear the laughter and the
song,
Though to sweet reedy pipes they
laugh and sing;
You'd say-"So late the robin sings
and long
This autumn twilight has sound
of spring"
The Hunters Moon is rising, broad
and bright,
A bronze lamp in the ashen.oolored
sky,
To light their shallops down the
stream tonight
Far through the woods / hear the
white owls cry.
From the low bridge 1 watch them on

Damages at Kate OF 30 Cents a Pound
Miss Amanda Stuf1et, who weighs
$50 pounds, got damages at Norristown,
Pa, at the rate of so cents pound in
breach of promise suit which she
brought against Daniel Kinsell.
Miss Stutflet is 4S years old and has
had hard luck in her love affairs. She
testified on the witness stand Monday
that two other men had gone back on"
her, and that when Klnsell gave her
the slip she made up her mind that
she would not continue to meet the
insults of his sex with tame endurance.
She said that Kinsell wanted a
housekeeper, but when he saw her he
decided he would rather have her for
wife. Miss StuiIlet was willing but
Kinsell, who is 0S years old and not
so poetic as he once was, got tired of
his bargain after few visits and said
the match was off.
The jury gave Miss stuflet verdict

! FIRST SULPHUR MATCHES.

They Were Considered Daring and
~ Dangerous innovation.
In these days Of rapid progress It
does not take long to make an appli-
ance old fashioned and out Of date.
Not more than 70 years ago the
match was considered an innovation
of a daring and dangerous type. The
conservative still scraped away with
his steel and flint, holding sulphur
dipped stick in fear and trembling.
One Robert Gibbs tells the story of
the first match he ever saw A school.
fellow who had visited London
brought back with him, besides his
stories Of that wonderful town, a
box tof the newly invented matches.
He exhibited them to his wondering

prize home, struck it in the chimney
place and. gleefully watched the sur.
prise of his mother. o.
Now you may throw away the tin,

mo such a thing" responded the
prudent woman. Matches which
light themselves will find no place
here. Why, some night we might be
burned in our beds! Give me the
finder box"
A Salem, Mass, newspaper of June,
1888, speaks approvingly of one of
the inhabitants of its town.
Notwithstanding the convenience
of those dangerous little articles which
are in almost everybody's hands, but
which, with all their charms, bid fair
to prove heavy curse on the com.
munfty, we learn there is one man In
Salem, respectable tradesman who
keeps store where we should gen.
orally expect to find such things, but
who has never sold them or allowed
them to be used on his premises. He
sticks to the flint, steel and finder;
he shows his wisdom in SO doing.
How many more can say as much?p

When the statehood bill was under
consideration in the Senate last winter,
and the fact was then disclosed that
there is large Mormon constituency
in Arizona and New Mexico, the
startling statement was made that mo
Mormon could run for a high political
office without the consent of the first
presidency of the Mormon church"
The Republican leaders in the late pres
tdential campaigns made a political.
bargain with some Of the Mormon apos-
ties that II the Mormon vote was cast
in Utah and other States for the Re.
publican candidates, there should be no
further legislation against polygamy.
The partnership with the Mormons en-

satisfaction to Democrats that they are
