NOT AT ALL EAGER TO GO
Old Jeff Had No Desire Whatever to
Be Translated From His Com.
Portable Cabin.

1t is commonly supposed that ne
groes fearing death will make all sorts
of promises because of their dread Of
future punishment. But Prof. Ulrich
b. Phillips in american Negro Slav-
ery," tells the story of at least one
old hard-headed fellow who steadfast-
ly resisted the hypnotic suggestion of
the preacher, and even repudiated glo-
rification on his deathbed. A Lou
isiana physician recounted to Pro-
fessor Phillips the final episode in the
career of "Old Uncle Caleb" who had
long been a-dying. Before his de-
parture, Jeff, the negro preacher, gath
cred his sable flock of saints and sin
ners around the bed. He read a chap
ter and prayed, after which they sang
a hymn. Uncle Caleb lay motionless
with closed eyes and gave no sign. Jeff
approached and took his hand. "Uncle
Caleb" he said earnestly, "de doctor
says you are dying, and all de bred
derin has come in for to see you fo'
de las time. And now, Uncle Caleb,
dey wants to hear from your own mouf
de precious words, dat 20 feels pre-
pared to meet 20 God, and is ready an
willin' to CO." Old Uncle Caleb opened
his eyes suddenly and in very irri-
table tone, rebuffed the pious func-
tionary in the following unexpected
manner: "Jeff, don't talk 70 nonsense
to me. You jess knows dat I amt
ready to go and dat amt prepared to
meet nobody dis ole cabin
suits me monstrously WE'LL" And so
he died.

How to Remove Oil Stains.

To remove oil stains from leather
and paper, ETC., apply pipe-clay pow
dered and mixed with water to the
thickness of cream, and leave it on for
four hours. This will not injure the best

stones make a strong solution of car
Donate of potash and water and add as
much unslaked lime as it will absorb.
Then stir it together and let it settle
few minutes; bottle it and cork tight

it when used and scour the part with
it. Don't leave the solution too long
on the boards or it will draw the color
