Ny Grandmother's Story.
nv = NORMAN c1nr,r1ooNr

BY E. NORMAN GUNNIsON.
It was In the early summer,
When the drumming of the drummer.
Growing daily grum and grummer,
Beat the time for marching men.
When across each shaded valley,
And through every street and alley,
Calling patriots to rally,
Came the summons once again.
We were in blaze of glory,
For our gran'sire told the story,
How the Hessian and the Tory
From the face of Washington
Fled, like sheep when sore affrighted,
How their stalwart ranks were Dlighted,
just as morning fires were lighted,
Ere they scarce had fired gun
How, at Princeton and at Trenton,
Troops that Howe had fondly leant on,
Were surprised, while they were bent on
Christmas joys and hours Of glee.
How their ranks were crushed and broken
As signal and token
That their death-doom should be spoken
By the cannon of the free.

forms of entertainment which have
grown threadbare from use since the
days Of the Revolutionary War? Let
her get up something original. wheth-
er she has to think it out herself or
copy some clever idea. People are
growing weary of the monotonous
repetitions of July entertainments
and anything new, even though it may
lack in merit, will meet with greater
appreciation than compelling your
guests to go through any one of the
old performances that remind them
of an annual duty they are forced to
perform instead of an occasion of
merriment and enjoyment. Don't let
dime novel sentiment enter into your
program. If you have anything sug-
gestive of patriotism avoid the COM
monplace hurrah that pleases the hoi
poiloi. Your guests should not be
treated as the rabble. and you should
not resort to the politicians means
of arousing interest by grandstand
methods. Avoid the kind of amuse-
ment that appeals to the gallery.
The shooting off of firecrackers, pyro-
technic displays in the evening and
the singing of national airs now
please only the Juvenile American

THE KITCHEN UTENSILS.

It is the custom of many house
wives to use sand soap for securing
and cleaning almost anything in tin
or agate ware in their kitchen.
This is a great mistake, as sand
soap is injurious to some kinds OF
Kitchen ware. A bottle OF ammonia
and a bottle of kerosene are very use
full for cleaning some Of the utensils
which will not stand such q strenu-
GUS rubbing.
For instance, If you will put few
drops of ammonia in your frying pan
it will work wonders. You can also
put 1t in the coffee pot occasionally
when you are scalding it.
Galvanized iron and agate ware
should be wiped with kerosene, as
the sand soap will in time wear away
the enamel. If you burn your agate
ware pan put teaspoonful of borax
or washing soda in the pan with hot
water and boil for is minutes.
After this the burnt substance can
be easily removed. Never, whatever
you do, use sand soap on an enameled
sink. philadelphia Ledger.
