In a letter which the Rev. Wright
Bardsley, rector OF st. Mildred's, the
Episcopal Church in Tiverton, wrote
10 the Public Entertainment Bureau,
he laid stress on the fact that both
the lecture and the lecturer which he
desired must have the sayins grace OF
humor The churchgoers Of Tiyerton
had certain hereditary tendencies, the
seed of which was sown in those
times when the struggle for life in
New England necessitated thrift
that became habitual
The collection plates of the church
usually came back to the altar
sprinkled with thin dressing Of nick
els, pennies, and infrequent dimes,
and the new rector soon discovered
that in spite CT his plain speaking on
the virtue Of generosity, habit was
stronger than conviction, and use
stronger than conscience.

Charles Emerson Prinkle was his
name, His lecture was on Certain
Phases of Life in the Metropolis

ticon pictures.
The night Of the affair came; Mr..
Prinkle arrived, also his assistant,
ditto the magic lantern and other
paraphernalia. The school room of st.
Mildred's was ready, and when its
doors opened a good-sized crowd took
possession Of the front seats, and
gave promise of a full house. At
about this time, the Rev. Wright
Bardsley reached the church, fearing,
yet hoping, in regard to the attend
ance. He sighed little sigh Of relief
as he saw a fairly steady line of
people making their way to the school
room entrance Then he caught sight
OF Dud, who, leaning against the rail,
ing, watched the others with wist
full grin on his face.
"Well, Dud,' asked the rector, "are
you coming in?"
Dud shook his head, and his grin
broadened.
"Aint got the price, sir"
The rector looked grave. "a big
fellow like you shouldn't be without
a nickel I thought you told me the
other day that you were going to get

About the House.

Flour thrown upon burning oil
will instantly extinquish it, while
water only spreads it.
A dying fire may often be coaxed
into life by scattering over the en-
bers a tablespoonful of granulated
sugar.
If SCOT should fall on the carpet
cover it with salt before attempting
to sweep it up. 1t will then be re-
moved easily and clearly.
Silk dresses should never be
brushed. but should be carefully
rubbed with an old piece of velvet
kept specially for that purpose.
When grease is spilled on the
kitchen floor pour cold water upon
it at once. This will harden it and
prevent its soaking into the boards
The tender leaves and small ends
of the stalks of celery should never
be thrown away. Ii dried they are
found excellent for flavoring soups.
To prevent rugs from curling at
the corners bind them on the under
side with a piece of narrow web
bling like that used to hold furni-
ture springs in place.
To renew velvet, cover the face
of a flatiron with a wet CLOTH hold
the wrong side of the velvet next to
this cloth until thoroughly steamed,
then brush the pile with soft brush
To powder parsley, the bunch is
dipped quickly into boiling water to
make it a brilliant green; then put
it into hot oven for few minutes
to dry thoroughly. After this, it
may be broken into tiny flakes.
A brilliant black varnish suitable
for iron, stone, wood and concrete
is made by stirring ivory black in
ordinary shellac varnish. 1t should
be applied to the surface when thu
article to be coated is quite cold
This is a useful varnish for fire

Slavery In Illinois.

The Carthage Gill; Republican
digs up a relic of slave days in IL
linois. In a deed for the sale of a
quarter section of land now forming
part of the site of Nauvoo, sold by
Isaac R. Campbell to Geo. w. Atchi-
son, dated Aug. 6, 1887, a negro
slave was part of the consideration
to be paid by the purchaser to
'clinch" the contract. The recital
in the contract is as follows:
That the said George W. Atchi-
son shall also. within sixty days
from the date thereof, deliver to
said Isaac R Campbell negro boy
not over twenty nor under fifteen
years of age, the use of which negro
the said Isaac R. Campbell is to
have and retain until the said
Campbell makes the conveyance of
said fractional quarter of land. I'm
mediately thereafter the title to the
said negro is to rest absolutely in
said Campbell, and said Atchison
binds himself to convey the title to
the said boy to said Campbell by a
good and sufficient bill of sale; said
negro boy to be healthy and sound.
This is the first instance that we
have found from records of slave
trade in this country, with the ex-
ceptiOn that in an old will of record
in this county there was bequeath-
ed to the wife and children of the
testator several negroes, a yoke of
oxen and the testator's silver sus-
pender buckles.

The SURPRISING of News.


The Taylorville Qll) Courier in
.dulees in a little soliloquy about
the humanity and inhumanity of
running a newspaper in the follow
ing:
This week we looked in the
neighboring exchange expecting to
see an account of how young man
had gone wrong, as it appeared in
the city dailies< Not a line about
the young man could we find. And
we knew why at once. A broken
hearted wife or relative had gone
to the editor and asked him to
SAY nothing" and the editor had
listened and the tears won the
promise from him
we have gone through with the
same things ourselves dozens of
times. An editor is only human.
He has his likes and dislikes; he
loves and hates, his strength be-
tween love and duty is just like
that of the average citizen. We
remember one case in particular.
We had let a certain thing 60 by
unmentioned because a fearful
mother, bowed down with her
cross, had come to us and begged
the favor
A BIZ headed man jumped us
a bout it and called us a coward for
so doing. A short time afterwards
the shadow fell across his threshold
and he came runnig and begging us
to say nothing Yes we replied
don't you remember how you call
ed US a coward for Keeping still?'
/ know he answered, but was
wrong 1t is different now. And
we listened to him
There are things that an editor
can't suppress. There are other
things that he can forget with
propriety AS far as we are con-
cerned, we would rather lessen the
grief of a parent than to throw q
morsal for the vulgar, gossiping
public to feed upon.
we would rather wipe away
tears from the eyes of mother
than to have nerve enough to joir
a heartless crowd of flying tongues
and sink the iron deeper into heI
tender soul. So when in this
neighboring paper we failed to fine
what we wanted. we made no com
ment. But down in our hearts VIZ
admired that editor and liked hin
better because he had heart thai
was tender, and he would rathel
listen to the jibs of the unfeelint
public than to the sobs of a heart
broken mother"

The Spring Poet.

The poet sees old winter skipping
And spring comes down the land
scape tripping
And blithely pass.
A merry lass,
Just like a colt turned out to
.. grass;
He sees her, most divinely fair,
Come floating in without care.
Serenely grand;
So, pen in hand,
He grabs sheet of paper, and
He don't do a thing to spring, sweet
sweet spring
He don't do thing to spring.
He notes the hillsides fairly blush
ing,
The brooklets to the river rushing,
The suns warm flood,
The tender bud,
But oh, he never secs the mud!
The while the merry farmers boy
Jumps all of seven feet high for
joy;
On every hand
The leaves expand,
And so he grasps his pencil, and
He don't do thing to spring.
Sweet spring
He don't do thing to spring.
