The Spark From the Hoof.
Ey C. a. S. DWIGHT.

One dark night clergyman was
service held in a quaint little village
on an island off the New England
coast. A thick fog had settled over
the island-one of the thickeSt ever
known there - and as the parson
drove along through the dripping at
mosphere, on a narrow country road,
with trees on either side, and with
many a twist and turn to the path, his
horse shying every now and then at
some gatepost or fence rail, his nerves
were strained to the utmost. He
feared, lest in the gloom, with its
fantastic shadows, he dash into some
belated vehicle coming the other way,
or pitch off into wayside ditch. Sew
eral miles had been traversed in this
exciting and dangerous manner, and
the driver was sorely tried.
But just at that juncture clue
was given to the unfamiliar stretches
of the roadway. Ahead was heard
the sound of wheels and the intermit-
lSlI SllSh VI q llOA DC ilOoA tAottAiiN'e
the stones. Every now and then
would come a CLINT of light where the
hoof struck the pebbles of the road
bed. BY keeping in view the spark
from the horses hoof certain guild
ance for the way was obtained. and
after several miles of such travelling
home was safely reached.
II life the clue to progress is often
given by a spark from the horse S
hoof Ahead of us, on the journey of
life, is some one to whom perhaps the
road is more familiar, and the diff
culties of transit are less. Incident
ally, as they travel, they throw out,
perhaps unconsciously, some hint or
token, like the evanscent spark struck
off in contact with the sharp rocks of
the way which, useless to them, is a
help and cheering sign to some toll
ing brother behind. The spark beto-
kens companionship for one thing,
since it shows that others are sharing
the dangers or difficulties with which
one is surrounded, and it also serves
as telltale token of the way in which
safety lies, and along which progress
is to be made.

CHICKEN WITH OLIVES.

Stewed chicken with olives is de-
licious. Cut the chicken into neat
joints and fry them in butter or
sweet olive oil in a saute pan; pour
off the oil, and add finely minced
shallot. Cook for little time, and
then moisten with rich brown stock or
gravy. Cover the pan, and stew gent
ly for about thirty-five minutes. About
fifteen minutes before taking up the
chicken, add twenty stuffed olives.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

The woman who scowls over her
sewing, her writing-all her work, is
the woman whose face will look old
almost no matter how much pains she
takes in dreaming and massaging it.
When overdone, try day of in
bed. There is little danger of bad
breakdowns for the person who makes
it a habit to have occasional letups.
Combs soon warp and break II
washed with water. A good stir
nailbrush cleans them well.
When using thread, to prevent i:
from knotting during the process OF
sewing. thread the needle with the
end CT the cotton you start to unwind
the end OF the thread you cut from
the spool. This done, there will
surely be no danger of inconvenient
knots. -
In boiling rice be sure that there is
enough water SO the rice will SWIM"
that is, so the grains will not adhere
to one another and become sticky.

If the grape fruit is used with white

Salute as You Meet.

A curious society has just been
formed at Darmstadt, in Hesse. It,
object is to promote the substitution
of the military salute for the pres
ent mode Of salutation among civl'-
ians. Instead Of the present method
of raising ones hat, the Hessiacs-
or at least a certain proportion OF
them-would like to see the general
adoption of the German military Sd.
lutte, consisting of bringing the hand
extended. with fingers close togeth.
er, to the edge of ones hat. The only
reason given for this strange predilec'
ton is that the new salutation would
be identical with that used in the
time of Administrator Globe.
