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. lT’his little precaution may bLe the | means of saving many little lives. } “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 more News. . ' 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. i iiis 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. Teach your girl how to cook, and if she does not thank you, somebody’s son will thank you for her, wisely re | marks the Eupora (Ala.)

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. Terse Truths. Cynicism is moral dyspepsia.

' After dealing with. “bucket shops” - many a speculative wretch ends his earthly troubles by “kicking. the bucket.” Wonder if it consoles the ¥woman forced into unpleasant notoriety to be called by the newspapers, “A \,pretty well dressed society woman of promi nence.” Still, they all are. ‘ | Conceit may puff up a man, but it isn’t going to prop him there. . Some men prefer to study grticles ' on “How to Succeed” to readigz the ! “help wanted” column.

After three years of married i.? the husband gets insulted if he @ catches his wife reading a love story or reading his former fervent leve letters. ; The Jaw-Breaker Families. | The appended personal paragraphs from a Minnesota country weekly ! may provoke the scorn or the wrath ~of narrow “Americans,” but in this broader view they are reasons for re | joicing. They show that the aliens [ of a few year back ar2 assimilating, i being incorporated into the national - life, becoming the kind of citizens it - is worth while to notice in the papers. | L.
