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 Pittsburg Dispatch. , Fopn’ar Novels. ' < “Tho Quick or the Deadl ’ —Timo. Standing on Legal Rights. "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 sbooted Fritz ven bis dog house ho vas in.” “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 “Mo and my gal hev cum ter town ter ! bo hitched," was tho remark of an Ulster 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 bet yer last hymn book, dunm inie, they bees; ain’t they, Dinner?” "Yep, they am,” replied tho girl. And then, to re move all doubt, tho gallant groom banded the clergyman the following note, writ ten by the girl's mother: “Derc Sur—You Liu metric Hanner Jane tn Cherlcy Doo cf yu bo sitro tbet it is him tliot bees with bur at ther time a-fursed.”—New York Tribune. 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. The Uniburcer Had Kun Out.

Something Burning. They were sitting on tho porch and. it i was growing late. “Would you mind if I lighted a cigar, | Miss Clara?” ho asked. 1 “Certainly not, Mr.-Sampson,” sho re plied.

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.
