HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
If a little butter is rubbed round
the spout of a teapot it will prevent
the tea from trickling down when it
is poured out.
Prevent cheese becoming moldly by
wrapping it in a cloth which has been
dipped in vinegar and wrung as dry
as possible. Keep in a cool place.
If you find a difficulty in threading
your needle, try holding it in front of
a piece of white paper. Tais shows
‘up the eye, and the needle is much
easier to thread.
If a sheet of paper is lald at the
hottom of a grate so as to prevent air
from coming up between the bars,
and a fire built on this and lighted
from the top, such a fire will be prac
tically smokeless.
- One of the boest places to store blan
kets which are not being used is un
der a mattress which is continually
slept upon, as ‘fere they are kept
comparatively well aired, and need
} little extia exposure to the fire before
being uset.~
When it is netessary to clean win
dows in damp wea{het, use a little
methylated spirit, and you wili polish
the windows in half the time, a 3 the
spirit evaporates, and dries the suw
perfluous moisture as it goes.
Without care, knives not in use
soon spoil. Keep them in a box in
which wsifted quicklime has been
placed. The blades should be cover
ed with this, but it must not touch
the handles, which should be wocca
sionally exposcd to the air to keep
them from turning yellow.
After flannelette articles have been
washed they should be rinsed. in
] water in which one ounce of alum or
' sal ammounia has been dissolved.

} “VALUE OF A RECEIPT.
|
| Kept Harping on tis Subject to His
1 Wife Until One Fatal Day.
| There’s a man in this town who is
’ always talking to his wife about wo
[ man’s unbusiness like ways and how
impossible it is to make the sex un
derstand that it is necessary to keep
receipts if oné would avoid paying a
bill twice. He has talked and talked
on this subject until his better half
has piled everything in the house
with the receipts of bills for articles
‘ which were long since worn out and
the fragments cast away.
About eight months ago the hus
band bought the winter’s c¢oal and
paid for it. It amounted to a goodly
‘ sum, and when he tucked the receipts
! for the money in his overcoat pocket
| he had that warm sense of well-doing
’ which is given to the man who pays
his bills.
When he went home that evening
he told his wife about it. “I've paid
for the ccal,” said he, “and have the
receipt pyt away, and I feel like a
Vanastortilt in consequence. I wish
I could teach you to file your receipts.
Some of these days I am going to
! have to pay your bills twice, and I
‘certainly shall dislike that Im
mensely.”
It was a few weeks after this that
‘the man with a spasm of generogity
gave away the overcoat that had the
receipt for coat in it.
He gave it to a poor fellow ‘who
was going West to find work, and tne
coat and the man had no sooner pass
ed beyond the punctilious person’s
ken than the coal people sent in the
bill for the winter’s fuel.
The man spent three days looking
for the receipt, and it was at the end
of the thira that it suddenly dawned
upon him what had become of it.
Then he went to sez thc coal peo
ple. They were amiable but firm.
They couidia’t remember that the coal
had been paid for, but they would
make every effort to find in their
books some mention of the money
which the man said he had given
themp.
Well, they couldn’t find it, and so
the man in the end had to pay the
bill again.
He told his wife, and that lady bit
her lip. He had to tell her because she
had to help him look for the receipt,
or the chances are she would never
have heard of it. At all events, she "
didn’t say “I told you so”; or “I hope
hereafter you will take the beam out l
of your own eye before you attempt |
to take the mote out of mine,” but
the man never tells her now thal he
wishes she would save her receipts;
he’s afraid she might reply.—Baliti

THE BEAUTY OF WEEDS. :
Perhaps everybody has at times
declared weeds a nuisance and .won
dered why they were created. With
out discussing this question, and with
out considering whether or not zll
weeds do not serve some useful pur
pose, did we but understand it, it vet
remains that much of the beauty of
the autumn landscape is due to weeds-
They develop just in time to make
glorious the harvest fields, and it
would appear that their blossoms are
anv expression of joy over the boun
ties nature has given to man. Wheat |
harvest would hardly seem such a
time for rejoicing were it not for thel
bloom of the wild morning glory ands
the “nigger head.” How lavish natnie 1
is with ‘{heze beantiful hlossow® at
this time! She seemingly tries to
fence every field with them, as if to
call attention to the golden harvest
she has provided by scattering round
about it her coined money, the yellow
flowers. And then, when the corn
and other crops have ripened, what
a profusion of her royal color—yellow
—gshe distributes over the fields in
! honor of the event! Acres of Spanish
' needles and golden rod, with white
lahd yellow moths ‘flitting hither and
} thither, please the eye with their rich
coloring. And before she ends her
}harvest festival she will drape the
trees with her royal vellow. Green is
i not earth’s color. Earth is yellow, the
' sky is blue, and the blending of these
two colors produces the green of grass
a~d trees—a marriage of the earthly
}and the spiritual. Sometimes earth
breaks away from the dominion of the
sky and robes herself in native yellow,
and then we see that she is wondrous
ly beautiful in herself, even though
her garments be woven of ragged
weeds.—Birmingham Age-Herald.

A New Cave.
One of the largest caves ever dis
covered in Bastern Kenticky, and one
that perhaps will rival the great Mam
moth Cave in Edmonson County, has
been discovered on Lime Cork Creek,
in Southern Letcher County. A party
of sightseers explored its mysterious
confines to a distance of over seven
miles. They were unable to find any
end to the nautral wonder. A iJarge,
swift-flowing stream of water was dis.
covered rushing into the undiscovered
regions.

| OBEYED ORDERS WITH ALACR_%
’ How a Lieutenant’s Sweetheart Inte'&
' preted the Colonel’'s Telegram.
A smart young officer belonging tc
a cavalry corps in India was sent or
sick leave to a convalescent statior
of Simla and, while recovering hir
health among the hills there, Was
robbed of his heart and in return
captivated tiie charming thief. - The
young fellow proposed and was- ac
cepted and with all possible dispatch
the wedding day was fixed. But the.
colonel of the expectant bridegroom’s
; regiment was strongly opposed to the
lieuterant marrying and telegraphed
ian unwelcome “Join at once” to the
i amorons sub. |
The chagrined soldier handed the
peremptory message to his fair ome.
She glanced at it and then, with a
becoming blush of sweet simplicity,
remarked: .
“l am more than glad, dear, that
your colonel s 0 approves of your
choice, but what a_hurry he is in for
the wedding. I don’t think I can be
ready quite so soon, but I'll try, for,
of course, the colonel must be
obeyed.” ' e
“But you don’t seem to understand
the telegram, sweetheart,” said the
lieutenant. “It upssts every pjan we
have made. You see, he say?,a‘.l'om
at once.’” &
“Certainly he does, dear,” replied
the lady, looking up with an arch
smile, “but it is you who don’t seer.
to understand it. When the colone:
says, ‘Join at once,’ what does h«
mean but get married immediately?
What else, indeed, can h 2 possibly
mean?”’
“What else, indeed, darling?” de
lightedly exclaimed the ardent lover,
rejoicing in the new reading, which
he received with the utmost alacrity.
So forty-cight hours had scarcely
passed before the colonel received
the following: ‘“Your orders have
been carried out. We were joined at
once.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.
