Homely Hints.

To remove screw with one side of
head broken off, place screwdriver
against one side of head, and with
a small block press firmly against
screw driver, at the same time
turning screw driver and block.
The screw will come out almost as
easily as if the head was intact.

not make the surface really wet.
This will greatly freshen and revive

In roasting meat turn it over
with a spoon instead of a fork, as
the latter pierces the meat and lets
the juice out.
To remove ordor from hands af-

peeling onions.
Tea and coffee pots should be
very thoroughly washed in clean
water each time after using.

Fastest Growing Tree.

Hard, fine-grained, durable wood
usually grows slowly. A most re-
markable exception is the eucalyp-
tus, and this it is that gives the tree
It's great value as means of re-
fOrestation. 1t is said that the eu-
calyptus grows five times as rapidly
as any other tree. Seedlings have
been observed to make an average
growth of six inches in height a
day; and one tree in California at
tanned a height of 1875 feet and a
diameter of SO inches in nine years.
The eucalyptus will not thrive
where there are frosts, but in the
south it promises to 60 a long way
toward filling the place once occu-
pied by other hard woods, which
have been greatly reduced by de-
mands for furniture, carriage and
cOoperage stock.-EX.

Time is Sometimes Kind.

Father Time is not always a hard
parent, and, though he tarries for
none of his children, often lays his
hand lightly upon those who have
used him well, making them old
men and women inxorable enough
but leaving their hearts and spirits
young and in full vigor With
some people the gray head is but
the impression of the old fellows
hand in giving them his blessings
and every wrinkle but notch in the
quiet calendar of a we'll spent
life. - Elk.

When you see a youth that will
do any sort of work no matter how
mental it may be, rather than be
idle, yon may make up your mind
that he will amount to something.
The young man who would starve
before he would do anything be-
meath what he conceives to be his
dignity, is not made of the right
kind of stuff to cut much of a fig
uure in the world. All honest toll
is honorable. There is nothing so
morally degrading as that aversion
to manual labor which is usually a
combination of lazineSs and con-
ceit.-Exchange.

You may rest assured that the Ma
tional Progressive party will never
amalgamate with the Republican par
~. or with the Democratic party. or
with any other political party. The
National Progressive party was form
ed for tho accomplishment OF certain
great political, social and economic re-
forms, which .are enumerated in the
planks of its platform The way. and
the only way, in which the so-callea
Progressive Republicans can ANAL
gamate with the members OF the Ma
tional Progressive party is by accept
ing every plank OF its platform ari
by adopting every principle enumer-
ated therein. and by also dropping
their affiliations with the Republican
party, and by coming right out In the
open and Joining the ranks OF the
National Progressive party. That Is
the only form of amalgamation that
will ever take place. and it is fairly
easy and simple 10 those who are gen.
uine and sincere In their desire for tn
accomplishment OF true reforms for
the common good of all.
This way, however does not. and

so-called Progressive Republicans,
who arc perfectly ready. whenever
they find IL absolutely necessary to do
so. TO adopt every plank and principle
of the National Progressive party, IL

reelection to power and the perpetual
