THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
Try Now the Ways of Yore and See
How You Like Them.
Good old times, says the San Antonio
Light, are a delusion and a snare, and
the man who sighs for them has little
conception of what they were. Return
to them, would you? Then rise on a
cold morning and wash at the pump,
pull on a pair of rawhide boots that
rival a tin can in stiffness, pull on a
woolen shirt over your back and sit
down to a bare meal with your three
legged stool dancing around on a split
slab floor, eat corn pone and bacon
for a steady diet and labor fourteen
hours out of twenty-four. Go without
a daily paper, a fly screen, a mosquito
bar, a spring mattress, a kerosene
lamp, geehaw your oxen to market
and sit on the floor of an ox cart as
you wend your way to church or a
frolic. Parch corn and peas for coffee
and sassafras for tea and see how you
like it.
The old days are looked backward to
affectionately, says the Galveston
News, because they were the days of
our youth, of bounding blood and sup-
ple joints, the days of hope and the
days of love and laughter and song.
The days of the present will be the
good old days of the coming generation
and will be regarded by our successors
as rather crude in customs and harsh
in many ways, yet withal not to be de-
spised. The progressives of our age
are the mossbacks of later eras, Fifty
years hence we will be accounted as
slow and immature as we now regard
those of half a century ago.
CHIRSCHMUS.
A Swiss Dainty That Is Malle of Pre-
served Cherries,
Last summer [ ate genuine Swiss
chirschmus twenty years old. It tasted
like a concentration of all the richness
and sweetness of the most perfect
cherries. In appearance it was a pur-
plish black mass. Age had not impair-
ed it in the least.
Upon inquiry 1 learned how this
cherry concoction, with its wonderful
preserving quality, is made. The cher-
ries used must be perfect—very large,
ripe, juicy black ones and, above all,
very sweet.
The juice of them pressed out and
strained through a bag Is put in a
large preserving kettle, at the bottom
of which is placed a piece of smoked
pork fastened to a block of wood. The
wood serves as a weight to keep the
fat down and prevent the juice from
burning as it thickens.
The cherry juice is boiled for about
twenty-four hours without sugar, but
stirred from time to time until it
becomes a mass of sweetness so firm
and thick that it would not fall if the
kettle were inverted.
That Is all, a simple process, but the
result is delicious. This chirschmus is
in general use in Switzerland with the
“gusse anke” (sweet butter) and bread.
—London Ladies’ World.
Feeding Silkworms.
The quality and quantity of silk pro-
duced by your silkworms will all de-
pend on how you feed them. Too
much food should not be given at once,
but they should never be left entirely
without at any time during the day
or night. You must, therefore, watch
carefully to get an idea of their appe-
tite and provide accordingly, says
Home Chat. Fresh mulberry leaves
are the proper food for silkworms, but
if at any time these are not procurable
young lettuce leaves are the best sub-
stitute, but they are only a stop gap.
Silkworms cannot live for a long pe-
riod without their natural food.
A Rich Man,
Standards of prosperity vary In dif-
ferent parts of the country, but that
of Captain Jack is purely local—to him-
self. The old man came out of his
cottage door one morning and discov-
ered some ne’er-do-well neighbors dig-
ging clams in the flat in front of his
shore.
“Dear me, boys,” he quavered In a
weak, old voice, “don’t dig my clams!
There's Abel Wyman over there across
the cove; he has ham for breakfast ev-
eryy morning in the year. Go over
there and dig his clams, boys.”
His Awful Mistake.
“Young man,” said her father, “do
you smoke cigarettes?’
“I should say not,” declared the
vouth hastily. “I would consider fit
disgraceful to be seen with one of the
vile things in my mouth. 1 think all
cigarette smokers should be jailed.
Why do you ask, sir?”
“Thought perhaps you could let me
have one,” said the old man pointedly.
“] smoke ’'em myself.”—London Tele-
graph.
No Siren.
Mr. City Boarder was being enter
tained by his rural sweetheart.
“Do you play and sing ‘When the
Cows Are In the Corn,’ Miss Milky
weigh?”
“Lord bless you, no!” she ejaculated;
“1 get the dogs and chase 'em out.”
Harper's Weekly.
Unnatural Finish,
Mrs. Meeds—And did your husband
die a natural death?
Mrs. Weeds—No, he died suddenly.
Mrs. Meeds—\What was there unnat-
ural about that?
Mrs. Weeds—Why, poor, dear John
was the slowest man that ever lived.—
Chicago Tribune.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
Don't save your money and starve
your mind.
Vigorous thought must come from a
fresh brain.
Tens of thousands of people fail be-
cause they love their ease too much.
“Keeping alive that spirit of youth”
Stevenson used to say, was “the per-
ennial spring of all the mental facul-
ties.”
A man may build a palace, but he
can never make of it a home. The
spirituality and love of a woman alone
can accomplish this.
If we are contented to unfold the life
within according to the pattern given
us we shall reach the highest end of
which we are capable.
By proper training the depressing
emotions can be practically eliminated
from life and the good emotions ren-
dered permanently dominant.
Every time you crowd into the mem-
ory what you do not expect it to re-
tain you weaken its powers and you
lose your authority to command its
services. —8uccess.
John Wesley and Beau Nash.
In a book about Bath is set forth a
story about John Wesley. Beau Nash
had told Wesley that his preaching in
the street was not only contrary to law,
but it “frightened people out of their
wits.”
“Sir,” said Wesley, “did you ever
hear me preach?”
“No,” said the master of ceremonies,
“How then can you judge of what
you never heard?’
“By common report,”
stoutly.
“Common report is not enough. Give
me leave, sir, to ask, Is not your name
Nash?”
“My name is Nash.”
“Sir,” sald Wesley, “1 dare not judge
of you by common report.”
said Nash
Foods That Make You Fat.
Potatoes, peas, baked beans, fats,
sweets—such as puddings, ples and
cake—ale, beer, sweet wines and even
water, when taken with meals, all
conduce to obesity. But in lieu of the
foregoing flesh producers one may sat-
isfy hunger with a moderate amount
of lean meats, poultry, fish; with fruits
(excepting figs, dates and bananas) and
with vegetables, such as spinach, string
beans, eggplant, celery, beets, etc. I
would recommend also that those
overfat from a too rich and too gener-
ous diet abstain from much liquid at
meals, but that they drink coplously of
water between meals to flush their sys-
tems. Water, be it remembered, is an
excellent purgative.—G. Elliot Flint in
Outing.
Not Buried Yet.
“There has never been any decisive
action on that bill you introduce year
after year.”
“No,” answered the statesman. “That
bill has been of such value in giving
me prominence that I should ratiier re-
gret to see it removed from active con-
troversy and buried in the statute
books.”—Washington Star.
His Exact Meaning.
Bellefleld—What did you mean by
saying that Spiffine was a man of rare
intelligence? That isn't the way in
which he is usually regarded. Bloom-
fleld—1 mean that his gleams of intelli-
gence are so far apart as to be very
rare indeed.
A First Essay In Housekeeping.
Mr. Jones—What is it, my pet? Mrs.
Jones—This ' rabbit (sob)~I've been
plucking it (sob)—all the afternoon, and
it isn’t half done yet!—Punch.

AZTEC ARCHITECTURE.
Wonderful Endurance of the Old
Mexican Buildings,
The Mexicans or the Aztec Indians
can give the people of the United
States lessons in architecture and in
solid construction of buildings. There
are buildings standing today in the
City of Mexico that ave stood for
three centuries and are in an excellent
tate of preservation. There is not a
frame building in the city. There are
a few adobe, but most all are stone,
brick or cement. There is a brick
building down in the old part of the
town that was erected prior to 1450.
It shows that so long ago as that the
Indians were experts in the manufac-
ture of bricks. But probably S0 per
cent of all the buildings are made of
concrete cement. Cement and concrete
have been used successfully in Mexico
for 500 years, and all the cathedrals
and churches are of that material. On
the line of the Vera Cruz Pacific can
be seen the ruins of Toro Bravo, where
there are evidences of a city ruined
centuries ago. There are some twenty
pyramids of solid cement which must
have been erected over 500 years ago.
One of these pyramids is 170 feet in
height, and on the summit rests a
cement ledge thirty feet in diameter.
This, as well as others, is of filigree
work and carved statuary.
Near this stands another of white
limestone, built in four terraces, with
carvings and ornamentations which
would put to shame the modern Amer-
ican sculptor. It has stood all these
centuries, yet the limestone is much
easier broken than the cement. Think
of a town of almost 400,000 persons,
and the fire record is three in one year.
The inside walls of many of the build-
ings are as much as six feet through,
and all buildings are bulit around
courts. There is no provision in any
of them for fires, and at the present
time small coal oll stoves are selling
in the city for $20—the same that sell
for $3 in the states. The floors are of
stone, the ceilings of filigree cement,
the walls of coarse plaster and almost
without exception hand painted. The
architecture on many buildings in the
republic shows that the Indian of cen-
turies ago was ahead of the modern
builder of today. — Hobart News-Re-
publican.
nnusbands,
A woman who shall be nameless fur-
nishes the following essay on hus-
bands:
“There are three kinds of husbands—
the young husbands who make us un-
happy because we are so jealous of
them, the middle aged husbands who
break our hearts because they would
rather make money or play golf than
devote any attention to us and the
old husbands who sicken us with their
silly objections whenever we turn to
look at younger men.”—Chicage Trib
fa orbing Interest. .
“Az nrinciple involv
and in addition thereto,” remarked the
great financier, “the banking business
is one of absorbing Interest.”—Toledo
