Do what you 8upp:s, cr ascertain that it cannot be done, and dismiss it, and turn to the next best thing, finishing as you go.

Nothinz is more common In society than a repetition of a conversation and the comments made by one's friend on another Nothing is more dishonest ; nothing a!aa I more common than the repetition of the commentary, meant to be g od natured. on aa absent friend, mide with all the sugar left oat. Sometimes the very change of an ac cent or a word may construe a perfect ly innocent remark into an attack. This is bearing '"false witness It is the unpardonable sin, for while each a person is keeping within the limits of trnf b. she !s really conveying a lie. Such are the most dangerous slander ers, the sweet voiced, smiling people, who carry a rattlesnake in their bosoms, a hidden dagger in their tongues. It is not easy to tell the unvarnished truth, as every lawyer will assure ns. Those who are in the habit of taking evidence find what a shilly shallv thing human observation Is to start with, and again, what a treacherous is language ! The faculties vary. Then the mind of some good men and good women is ab solutely without an intellectual percep tion o. the truth. We have known some men and women, excellent moral characters, who never told the tru'h in their lives. They do not know bow. Therefore, the habit of making a statement favorably or prejudicial to character does with such people, depend on the charitable or malicious feeling of the moment. We are innocent while we absorb scandal, while we sit silently and bear our friends abused ? Should we not soften down the rumor, disbelieve half of it, give the unfortunate the benefit of a doubt ? Would it not be the safest excess; therefore, to always say of everybody, tehind their backs exactly what we wo ill say 10 their faces. "If you would with perclsion 6 petit Five thlnes observe with care, To nbom you sp?ak, of whom you speak And when and bow, and where." DIstingofekled Old Maids. Look at the list of old maids. Eliza beth of England, one of the most illus trious of modern sovereigns. Iler rule over Great Britain comprised the most brilliant literary age 0? the Eng lish speaking people. Her political acumen was put to as severe tests as that of any other ruler the world ever saw. Maria Edgeworth was an old maid. It was this woman's writings that first BuggtsttJ the thought of of writing similary to Sir Walter Scott. Iler brain might well be called mother of the Waverly novels. Jane Torter lived and did an old maid. The chi'drta of Lcr buty brain were 'Thaddeua of Warsaw" and "The Scottish Chiefs," which hare moved the hearts of millions with excitement and tears. Joanna bailie poe: and p:ay writer, was "one of 'em." Flor ence Nightingale, most gracious lady, heroine of Iukermaun and Balaklava Lospitals. has, to the present, written "Miss" te'ore her name. The man who should marry her might well crave to take the name if Nightingale. Sis ter Dora, the brave 6pirit of English pest houses, whose story is as a helpful evangel, was the bride of the world's sorrow only. And then, what names could the writer and the reader add of those whom the grrat world may not know, but we knew, and thee little world of the village, the church, the family know and prize be yond all worlds. . A Woman's l'lan for Dinner. A notable little housewife whom I once knew, and who never asks what she shall have for dinner, once told me her p'an. She sa:d : I can't trust my servant. I won't bother my husband. 1 won't bother my hubband. I won't take the time to study it over everyday. So I make out a list every two weeks of of tourteen breakfasts and dinners ahead. I try to avoid too frequent re petitions, and it Isn't very bard to ao tht.t. I don't make out a regular bill of fare, cut juit put down one one er two of the principal dishes and the des sert. Then at the end of the two weeks I begin over again. I don't make just the same list over again, and I don't stick too my program too close ly. I do my own buying, and I know pretty well what is new in the markets, and if I want to change the dinners 1 do it. And after the first list is made out it is easy enough to write out the next one. By doing my own buying I serve three purposes. I keep pouted on the markets, I get exercise, and I save mon ey. 1 never iuu a grocer's or a butch er's bill. If I have not enough money to buy what I want, I go without. The Vanderbllt Tomb. I saw Mr. Pinkerton, who tells me that every fifteen minutes each clock placed in the Vanderbilt tomb is visited by a Pinkertoa detective, two of whom are constantly on guard. One of these decective patrols outside the tomb, while the other is locked in and sits bebing the other bars with a loaded re peating rifle across his knee ready for constant use. It woald be next to im possibles for any robber to get away with the remains of Willian II. Van derbilt so long as the tomb is protected as it is now. The Pinkerton men are hired by the year, and there la quite a little colony of them established cn Slateu Island, very near the mausoleum. They keep eight or ten there all the time, bo that those on duty at the grave are retired at frequent Inteivals. and are, therefore, not liable to fall asleep at their post. Anawer ThU Question.

There is something: appalling In the sight of a boy, and no one with the right sort of feeling look at one without pity. Boys are always getting into trouble, disgrace and danger. Tlty usually ends with the boy's mother and grandmother; they feel for him, no matter what hab pens. Bui. father, grandfather, aunts and uncles consider him a good-for-nothing yoaog nuisance, who doesn't get half the whippings he deserves. When he falls Into calamity or dirgraee they are ready to exclaim : "I didn't expect anything else !" Poor little m-n, with all the great howling wilderness of life ahead and none to fight their way for them I Who cares that their growing bones and hearts pain them for lack of words of sympathy. They are called lazy when they are ill, acd nobody but mother takes the trouble to Inquire into their bad feelings. Sometimes a terrible accident swoops down upon the boy. Tie is accidental ly shot, or gets drowned, or in some other way meets his fate. Then it is revealed to those who never gave him a pleasant look or word that possibly tney nave oeen unkind. But years of unavailing sorrow and regret cannot undo the past. The pale face of the dead boy, who was driven like a dumb beast from place to place, will sorely baont the ones who have been his per secutors. Take it home, you who have boys to whom no word of kind encouragement is ever given. Som where in the coun try boys are being brought home every day, all their little cares and troubles over tve S time. Then comes the re gret and heart break that never can- be cured. By this 1 do not wish to excuse the worthlessneas and perversity of many boys, or to imply that there are no fa thers with tender, affdetionate hearts ; but I desire to touch a few who never lean to the side of charity in their deal ings with the Wo j 9. The Sewing Machine. There is hardly any piece of house hold machinery which is capable of causing so much vexation as the sew ing machine. The ingenious and in dispensable mechanism, like most other things, is docile and tractable when in the hands of one who understands it. Xot long since a Pbiladelphian es sayed to adjust his wife's sewing ma chine. In a short time be became ex ceedingly interested in ais work ; then, bv the-usual and rational changes, he passed to agitation, disgust and a tow ering rage, closing with a grand de nouncement with an axe and a succes sion of vigorous strokes that instantly reduced the sewing machine. When any portion of the mechanism fails to respond correctly, it is usually from some very trifling cause, and tie first endeavor should be-to find out ex actly what is the matter. To become a master In the art of repairing sewing machines, it is requisite to understand the principles upon which the stitch is formed and the work fed. Very little manual skill is really needed. Tfce breaking of thread or needles and the skipping of BtUches are due, nine times out of ten, to the loosening of some screw, allowing some part to become slightly displaced. If your machine brealt the thread, first examine the brokan end to deter mine whether it Is cut or torn. Then measure the end down faoaa the Uke up. and you will discover at what point in the revolution the trouble occurred. Turn the wheel slowly, and watch the thread pass around the shuttle at the point where the accident occurred. Many times a machine can be persuaded to return to good behavior by simply taking out tht needle and shuttle and giving it a little cleaning and oiling, without disturbing any part of the ad just me Lit. Tying on Ladies $kes. Talking about trjing on ladies shoes," said a clerk. in. a prominent shoe store. "It isone of the most delicate and arduous that fall to the lot of a salesman. Why the most innocent re mark may be construed: into affront, and e'erk find himself called to account. Have you ever noticed that a boot and shoe man does very little talking ?" "Do you mean ia selling goods ?' "Yes. Some years ago a clerk in a New Orleans shoe store lt bis life for paying a lady a compliment about the sixe of her foot ?" "Are Detroit ladies aa sensitive on the aubject. .? "It requires very uice discrimination to know when to pay a lady a compli ment on the size of her foot. We have some ladies come here who possess re markably beautiful feet, and it would be worth ny 4ace if I made any re mark about them. Then others just as fastidious in all respects will ex pect a little well-directed flattery ; in fact, will challenge it by deprecating their feet. Then some ladies will not allow us to put their boots on while others will treat us exactly as if we were foot stools or books" "Are ladies hard to please "Well I Bhould just say so. Their feet are so tendar thev want to wear a loose shoe, and the always buy a tight one. Then they always try them ait ting down, and it is the hardest work to get them to stand up and steparound. Snmetemes I am nearly distracted try ing to get a good fit, acd oue that will not have to be returned. But ladies are more sensible now about their shoes than they used to be.

Decide about growing more frnit. Resolve upon genuine rural reform. Mature plans (or tbe spring ca paign. Six tons of ensilage will "keep a cow six months. A very large orchard requires a larga capital to run it. The yellow races of bees are shorter lived than the dark races. The period of cheapest growth in aa animal is before the animal matures. A frequent change of diet is neces sary to the health and best growth o tbe pig. A hive cursed with a fertile worker will not raise a queen ; break up nt colony. Ventilation should exist in well-reg. alated stables, but draughts should be unknown. A cow fed partly on ensilage will ta healthier and raake more butter than when fed on dry feed. Inferior honey should not be put upon the market, but fed to the bees in sma'l quantities in spring and fall. The Carniolan race of bees pcs3e3a some traits superior to Italian bees, fcuj are not on the whole superior. After washing a horse's feet and they should be thoroughly dried, other wise cracked heels, etc., are invited. After any colony swarms examine tha hive and cut out every queen cell lut one, which will prevent after swarming. .aiucn loss from what is commor.lv known as cholera may be avoided by care and a mixed diet, or a chaDge of diet. A wrench and one or two tools for making repairs are easily carried in the farm wagon and come verv handv at times. Small potatoes boiled and mixed into the warm masb given In morning will help poultry along through the next two months. The Colorado beetle can be destroyed and much after trouble prevented br scattering over the newly planted ground slices of potatoes sprinkled with Paris green. A io3 plan in a smaU way. It is better to expend a sufficiency uf money to make the dwellinz frost proof than put by so much of your time ia preparing fuel. The average Xonhera home is not constructed more than one half as warm as it should be. Do not feod the newly .hatched chicks for thirty-six hours after they cores from the shell. If not fed forty-eiht hours ic will no no harm. Give them time to rest and get strong. Xature provides ihem with feed before they natch out. The sheep shed should be open on the south side co admit the scnlight and to allow of the escape of the edljvia from tbe manure under them, bat it should be protected by a board fence high enougn to shelter them from the wind when lying down. Sawdust is one of the various substi atutee for s.raw as bedding. As It does not saake so warm a bed aa straw, s tonespondent of Hural Home suggests using It as an under-bed, with straw or leaves above. The straw or leaves bo used last mnch loDger, and their of the stable is kept purer by the greater ab sorbent power of the sawdust under neath. "Ways recommended to maie artiQ chi swarm3 : Select a swarm of the strains of bees in spring ; woik up to the swarmirjg point and take the queen away. When queen cells are about to hatrb, form nucleus colonies and place one of the queen cells with it, and after waid build up from other stroEg col onies. Another way is to divida col ony and give the queenless portion a laying queen. Haw Women Board a Street Car. The way they lie in wait for their particular car when it is not there ahead of them and make a rush for it as soon as they perceive it affords as mocfc entertainment to the onlooker aa would an ordinary play at the theatre. There are generally as maDy of thtm on the ground as would comfortably !I three cais, and tbey seem to have eu Urei a contest with each other for whe wn get in first, With a bound they leap from tbe sidewalk, and regardles: of what may be io their way mike for the car as if their being the Crst to er tei it. They do not wait for it to come o full stop, but jump on both platforms while it is still in motion and rush into tbe car all in a heap, elbowing and jjst ling each other in their struggle t ge their first, without the least ceremoiy And how tbey make for the seats ao' strive to be first to get one C And tl;e tbe look of blank amazement or blac indignatiou that overspreads thbir face when they fail to secure one on wbic" they have fixed their fancy ia somethin wooderfal to behold. It IMckens or t a Mark Twain were to write a book c "Woman's Treatment of Woman in it Street Cars." I would venture to aa: antee it a big sale. Keep It to Yourseir.
