Anticipating Trouble.

There was once a pendulum
to lie fixed on new clock.
1t began to calculate how long
It would be before the big wheels
were worn out and its work was
done. 1t would he expected to
tick night and day. SO many
times minute, sixty times that
every hour and twenty-four times
that every day and 1856 times
that every year. 1t was awful!
quite row Of figures, enough
TO Stacger you-millions of ticks!
Il can never do it," said the poor
pendulum. But the clockmaker
encouraged it. you can do one
tick ut a time" he said. "Oh.
yes" the pendulum could do that.
"Well,' he said, that is all
which will be required of you"
So the pendulum went to work,
, steadily ticking, one tick at a
time. and it is ticking yet, quite
cheerfully.-D. l. Moody.

IN THE SEWING ROOM.

When sewing on hooks and eyes
choose needle the length Of the
your hooks. Make eyes with a double
thread by taking two stitches ut the
same place the width of the hook.
Work the stitch in 'buttonhole" and
then run the needle between the out
side and the lining of the material
upon which you are working just the
length of the needle. This is for the
next eye. Go on in this order, sewing
the hooks a needles length apart. and
you will get them at regular distances
without stopping to measure for each
one.

Childhood Days on Uncle's Farm.

Childhood Days on Uncle's Farm.
printed by Request)
I'm thinking back to childhood
Uncle's farm on Sugar Hill
We roamed the fields together;
Uncle Tom had gone to mill.
l dearly loved the autumn
How the time did speed away;
We walked the fields together
On that fine autumnal day.
There geese. hens and chickens
Aunt vi stands in the hall
And Coolie there is barking
. At woodchuck in the wall.
And acres of potatoes
That were taken from the field,
And Jackson Whites. believe it,
There's no better crop to yield.
It was just lovely bunch
1t was catnip that got,
When I was way off yonder
In the big old pasture lot.
Have not forgotten Mary
All those huskin's on the farm;
All, they were happy evenings,
Lanterns hanging in the barn.
I'll not forget to tell you,
Jim and I had two calves broke:
We got them almost started
But by gosh they turned the yoke.
The huskin when twas over
With hot tea, dutch cheese an
cream
The table all was loaded;
Pumpkin pie that made us dream.
Hop picking in October,
How they came from far and near
A jolly crowd together
Kissed the girls at each red ear. o
Wasn't that lovely buckwheat cake
Such as Aunt vi once did make?
All seated at the table,
With bees honey. it was great.
Those days we now remember
But they left us here to mourn.
Short time will surely take us
Where our parents they have gone
There's quiet little graveyard
Quite near Waterman's abode,
And our parents there are buried
Just a few steps from the road.
Sleeping there beneath the sod
. Folded hands across each breast:
Not wave of trouble now,
All is peaceful. all is rest.

Fraud Paint

The worst mistake one is likely to make
in painting Is wrong paint; it Is easy to
make this year when paint is so high.
We all say 'Ours is the best"; and there
are 1000 of US. One Is best; but dozen
are so near on level that no one knows,
for sure, that his Is the one.
The worst paints are worst liars; they
know what they are, put-on a bold face
and brazen 1t out.
Their one true argument Is low price;
but low price paint is always, must be, a
fraud; 1t Is made to cheat cheata BILE people.

VARIETY IN MENUS.

The one great bugbear of menu max
ing is sameness. The endeavor of the
housewife TO produce attractive meals
with a certain allowance and have va
riety, means some thoughtful plan
ming. She who has an unlimited peck
etbook need have little worry, but to
the majority of women the problem
of making ends meet and serving at
tractive, appetizing and nourishing
food is a daily question.
Everything is high this year, even
the plebian potato is too exclusive for
everyday use. We must learn to use
rice and hominy instead. The old
proverb which tells us that there is
no loss without some gain" is proven
to us, as we learn % substitute many
foods for those which we have always
considered indispensable.
The great criticism made of AmerI-
cans, and Justly, is that we eat too
much. Our meals should be simpler,
better cooked and served. The idea
that it Is necessary to have from five
to six vegetables at meal Is extrav-
agant; two Is plenty and three lux
ury.
Emergency Bscuit.-Sift together
four times two cups of flour and four
teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a
half teaspoon of salt. Rub in four
tablespoonfuls of butter or less, add
three-fourths of cup of cold milk and
drop by teaspoonfuls on Duttered
pan. Bake in a hot oven twelve to
fifteen minutes.
Rice Pudding.-Boil cup or rice In
a pint of water until dry, then add
quart of milk and cook until thick.
TO the yolks of three eggs add six
tablespoonfuls of sugar and the grated
rind of lemon; cook ten minutes
with the rice, then cover with the
beaten whites of the eggs, TO which
six tablespoonfuls of sugar has been
added, with the juice of a lemon.
