. Two Juvenile Views of Sunday.
I heard of two little girls the other day !
who unconsciously illustrated two views
of this (Sunday) question. One of then I
left her gay city homo to stay over Sun
day with the family of a country parson. I
When she went home sho remarked: j
"Mercy I the B’s are such blue Presbyter
ians they wouldn’t take a pin -out of the |
pin cushion on Sunday!"
Dio other was the daughter of that :
same parson. There had been numerous
burglaries around the country, and the '
child had been so frightened by these re -
ports that she had scarcely slept any all I
week. On Sunday night after supper the I
child camo to her mother and said
"Mamma, please put me to bed now, I’m i
so glad I can get some sleep to-night, for !
the burglars won’t come on Sunday."— I

"Jcdge, yir hancr O’im guilty. I shot
the Dootclimau's dog, but I wants the
Dootchman to prove it.”
Pat Reilley was up In tho Twelfth
street police court accused of killing
Frank Ilultsman’s bull terrier.
“110 coom mit my yrtrd Insite und

“Cnrtcntly I did, yir bancr, but the
Dootchman must prove it.”
‘‘Did you see him kill the dog?”
“Veil. 1 shoult tsay tso."
•‘A’ coorso ho did. I nuver kills a dog I

"How much was your dog worth?”

I “Mo and my gal hev cum ter town ter !

j county young man, as ho entered tho j
study <>f a Kingston clergyman-the othrr
I day. Then lie beamed like tbc full moon
on tho blushing damsel at his side. "Are
her parents willing?” asked the clergyman.
"Willin’?” said the youth, “yer km lest

Everybody will bo glad to know bow to
make the blacking that hardware dealers
put on stoves. It is simply black varnish
dissolved in turpentine and mixed with
any ordinary good stovo polish.
If you have occasion to use clothes wet :
I In hot water about an invalid, do not try
to wring them out of the water. Tho
best way to prepare them is to steam
! them; they can be handled with compara
tive ease.
A piece of heavy flannel doubled two or
four thick and placed in the bottom of
wtro hanging baskets before the dirt is
put in will keep tho water from dripping
! if caro is used in sprinkling the plants.
Wild moss is also excellent.
1 If you aro afraid that your yeast cakes
' aro a little stalo put onaof them in a cup
: of warm water with a good pinch of hops;
let this stand for an hour or so before
using. It will have an excellent effect on
i tho yeast and will insure good bread.
j A chimney that will not fill up with
soot may bo made by plastering it inside
with clay mixed witli salt. Chimneys
should bo built from tho cellar up instead
of hung to the wall. Tho stovepipe holo
should bo at least eighteen inches from
the ceiling.
To drive rats and mice away from a
' building, make a strong solution of oxalic
: acid and soak newspapers in it until they
aro in a pulpy condition; cram this into
the holes through which the rats or mice
j pass, and they will get such sore mouths
: and feet that they will give the holes a
j wide birth.
I To remove iron rust or ink spots,
; moisten the spots and apply salts of
! lemon until they disappear, and then
J rinse well. Salts of lemon aro mails of
I equal parts of oxalic acid and tartaric
| acid. Another way is to moisten with
: lemon juice, and sprinkle well with salt
and iny in the sun.

“Is your ofiico safe fire and burglar

"Yes, sir.”
“And tho night clerks are honest and

“They are.”
“Diamonds!" hoarsely whispered tho

which twitters as you press upon a con
cealed rubber ball in examining it, a neck
which twists in a number of positions
and eyelids which open and shut with a
startlingly realistic effect.
Tho longest straight reach of railroad
In tho world is on tho new Argentine
Pacific lino. It is 211 miles in length,
without a single curve; nor is there a
bridge upon it, nor a single opening larger
than an ordinary culvert; no cut of over
fkyard In deptb’and no‘’fill” more than a
yard high. There being little or no wood
along tho line iron ties are employed al
most exclusively.
BURDETTE’S PHILOSOPHY.
A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.
“Prisoner,” said tho magistrate, “tho
officer says you struck tho prosecuting
witness, who is now in tho hospital and
unable to appear against you, with a chair
leg three times; then you throw a pop
bottle, at liini, and after that chased him
down street and ’pushed him off tho
dock into the river and threw bricks at
him < very time ho camo to the surface to
breathe. Is this trueT “It is all true,
your honor,’*said tho prisoner, “and in
addition 1 broke a bed slat over him be
fore tho officer saw me. L was sitting in
my office, very busy, when tho complain
ant came in and began to toll mo about
Ids trip to Europe. He said they were
gone six weeks and saw everything and
went everywhere, and that coming back
they passed through a storm which tho
captain, who had followed tho sea for
fifty-six years, said was the worst ho had
ever experienced, and that”— “Officer,
said the*magistrate, interrupting, “when
will that fellow be strong enough to
move?” The officer said he thought ho
might venture to bring him around in tho
morning. “All right,” said the wiso and
humane magistrate; “you fetch him up
then, and I’ll sock it to him Ui away that
will teach him that people who stay at
homo have some rights in this country
yet. The prisoner is discharged and the
court is very sorry that he was arrested
under a misconception of the merits of
the case.”
A CANINE TILL.
When merry childhood romps and plays
With canine playmates on tho lawn;
Or when the lonely moatbound bays
The tranquil moon from eve till dawn;
I laugh at romping pup and child,
And in their mirth grow young again.
And tho gaunt mcathound's accents wild.
Weary me loss than wrangling men.
I love tho watch dog’s bark because
It “bays me deep mouthed welcome home;”
I cannot chide tho muddy paws
That streak my garb from neck to dome.
I love to see tho setter slim
Go frantic when the gun comos down;
E'en though tho man who hunts with him
> Will buy the game he shoots in town.
V And the toy's dogs—l love them too—
Boy and the dog I love to sing;
The yelping, mongrel, motley crew,
tU Whet jolly comradeship they bring.
When other earthly pleasures cloy,
8 * And joys once bright you daily miss.
Wait for a dog that owns a buy,
And view a ficaua of perfect bliss.
I» Bvt thou—oh, woman with a dog, I
ry That leads thee with c, silken Hue—
L O*erfed and underbred, a clog;
A stupid mass of hair and whine;
“When I liehold thee and thy dog.
My hewrt is with strange frenzy fired; '
Scat! Uhoop! Get out I, I give it up;
Vo«iAj»ke mo tired.
