MAKING TEN TWENTY.
It was a gem of a bouse ith a sweet,
homelike air pervading every nook and
corner far enough removed from the
gn-ai thoroosbfare to avoid the glare and
du of tfi city, but not too lar to be
easily acceille.
A fttely proop of magnolias cast tbeir
ghadows and fragram over the open
bay-window nhere Mrs. Andrews was
engaged in settinc to rights after the
house- arming of the night before. Some
thing else evidently oocnpied her mind
more than the bisque ornament she was
doming, for whe pansed, and looking
dreamily out. said, half aloud:
"What could he have meant? There
he comes now, I will ask him," and she
fluttered through the window down to
the entrance.
"What did you mean, doctor?" 6he
said, after they had exchanged greeting,
"hen you prayed last nipht that we
might use cur hou-te for God'i glo 7"
"What did the faithful servant do
with his lords talents?" was the seem
ingly irrelevant reply.
"Bat you don't mean that a house is
a talent?"
"What is?" said the pastor.
"Why, something that we can serve
Him with."
"And hy not a house, then V
"WLy.I don't know but a house is
just to make a happy home."
"Exactly, and that home is to radiate
in all directions, till the increase is like
the ten other talents,"
- "But how?" bhe asked, while her eyes
those.
"That I can't tell you ; you will find
ways enough if you look fur them."
All day Mrs. Andrews went around
among her pretty llong:ngs with a pre
occupied air. The books, the pictures,
the curiofeities from far away lands all
seemed to say, "How are you to u.-e U3?;'
Mr. Andrew's business as a cotton
buyer and broker had taken him abroad,
and now, tired w ith wanderinff, they had
come back to their old home on the
Chickasaw tlulTa, as Memphis used to be
t-aiied, to settle don n to quiet life.
"There is nothing like home, after all,
is there ?" Riid he, as they Bit on the
moonlit veranda.
"So, indeed," i-he replied, "and I hoi
nothing ill ccme to make us leave it
again. But did you notice what Dr.
Martin said alx.'t our using the house
for iod's glory ?"
"Yes, I noticed it, but it passed out of
my mind."
"Well, he says a house is a talent, and
you must use it to multiply it ; but he w
can one do it?"
"You'll find a way, I dont doubt he
laughed.
"I've been thinking," ehe said, slowly,
"as God has given our darlings a happy
home, perhaps. He means us to open it
to some one ei.se's dear ones."
"I)o not mean to adopt a child? her
husband stli.
"Xo. I wasn't thinking of that"
"Well, is it a go.-l feast ? Case of the
lame, the halt, etc V
"No," she answered ; "that would be a
party, merely. That might come in,
though."
"I give it up, then. I am no vl'Jipns.
You uitu-t read the riddle."
"I am not quite sure I know myself,
but my idea was to take one evening in
the week, bunt out thuxe w ho are in need
of home influences and have none, and
bring them into our home, and make
them feel that they belong somewhere.
I don't want to be visionary, bat don't
you think it might be done, so as to
brighten some cheerless lives and lighent
some sad hearts?"
"My dear," her hu.-hand answered, "I
should have thought such a place the
Garden of Eden' if it had been opened
to me when I came here, a fjrlorn and
homesick bov, with not a soul to care
w hether I lived or died. Hut that re
minds me of a card put into my hand a.
I left the elevator,"
lie stepped inside the hall, read the
note, then laughingly, put it into his
w ife's hands.
"Iear Andreas," it ran, I wish you
would do something for Wright to-night.
I don't think there is much the matter
w ith him now, but he looks badly, and
will be ill if somebody don't look after
him. I can but feel that we are responsi
hie for the clerks, so take him in hand if
vou can. I as off to New Orleans in
the morning."
"There, Nan, is something for you to
tegin on. I will send him up to inor
row."
The afternoon sun hlaed on the pave
ments as a young man ca:ne wearily
do i n the street.
"I don't believe I'll go in after all," he
muttered. "W'ljat does she care about
me ? and my head aches now," and he
turned back ; but the idea of his steam
ing third-ntory room made him hesitate,
until the cool shadows and the tinkle of
the fountain drew him on.
The faint bell-pull was not answered,
and, really unable to 6tand, he dropped
on the sofa in the ball and there Mrs.
Andrews found him asleep.
"Oh 1" he exclaimed, starting np and
coloring furiously, "pardon me."
"It is I m ho must beg pardon for keep
ing you waiting, but here is my apology,'
and she handed hitn a bunch of Mare-
t hal Neil roses.
"Oh, how delicious l";he exclaimed, in
haling the fragrance.
"How tired you must get in the hot
city '." she Riid noteing his pallar, now
that the tlucdi had faded, and his tremu
lous hand. "Can't you get a vacation
and go home to your mother V
"I have no borne and no mother.
"My poor boy .'" was the answer the
made; but her eyes, which filled with
tiara, and the gentle clasp cf her hand,
spoke more than words.
"Now I am going to give yoa a curi
ous prescription, and tend you off to take
bath before tea there is nothing so
refreshing. Mr. Andrews always has
w hen he comes from town."
Half an hour after, rested and refrtsh
d, Calvin Wright came out on the feran
da to Cnd a tempting lunch of strawber
ries and cream, in sparkling glass dishes,
awaiting him, and he dropped into a soft
cushioned chair with a sigh of pies sure.

earnest souled man who heaped his plate
w iih delicacies and brought forth his rich
conversational powers to entertain his
guert with as much interest as if he had
been the highest one in the land instead
of the youngest clerk in the elevator.
Oh, well," thought the boy, "they
are rich, and have always bad eveiy
thing they want ; it is all luck anyway."
Eat in the long talk that came after
tea, Mr. Andrews told Liin how be had
come to Memphis with a suit of butter
nut jeans and $1 in his pocket; how he
had steadily worked his way up, si dyed
on iiirough the terrible years of pesti
lence, and had the fe"er himself in a
hospital. "So you see it is not ail luck."
-Did I say that, sir ?"
"So, you did not say it, but that is
what you young ones all thin. It rt
courage, determination, perseverance,
WJ above all, it is God's good hand
upon vou-and that you can have for

"Thank you sir," said the young man,
involuntarily holding out his hand.
The elder grasped it cordially, saying:
"God bless you, my boy, and give yoa
the true snccess which may not be meas

"Good night, Mrs. Andrews," su
Wright, as the clock gave a warning
rfroke. "You will never.know what this
evening has been to me. May I e"

"Come whenever you can. Thursdays
are to be my reception days, and if you

We will find some way to help them."

It would take many pag-s to tell of

Killing Off Rabbits.
A method of rabbit destruction, which
has been tried with considerable success
in the I lay district, as recommended by
Thf Ayrk-uli'tr'd Cazstu, of New South
Wales, is worthy of the consideration of
pastoralists throughout the colony, more
especially w here the rainfall is light
The destroying agent is poisoned water,
which is prepared as follows: Cover one
ounce of strychnine with concentrated
hydrochloric acid, or what is commonly
known as strong muriatic acid or spirits
of suits, and leave to soak ail night The
mixture easily dissolves in half a gallon
of boiling water. After making the so
lution bottle offand use as required. A
pint of the mixture will poison sixty
gallons of cold water ; possibly a weaker
mixture might be efficacious. This sys
tem has been adopted at Benerembah
station, sixteen shallow eight to tan gal
lon troughs being used to each tank, and
the ncinber of rabbits poiwned at each
tank niifhtly is stated to be 10,000. In
the Mosfgiel district no less than 27,000
rabbits were destroyed in two weeks by
the use of poisoned water.
Mr. John Carpenter, of Goodland, Ind.,
says: "I tried Chamberlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrho a remedy, for diarrh.-ea
and severe cramps and pains in the stom
ach and bowels with the best results. In
the worst cases I never had to give more
than the third dose to el feet a cure. In
most cases one dose will do. Besides its
other good qualities it is pleasant to take."

together at the falls.
Late in the afternoon I met the man
alone in the park, and after some general
conversation I asked how the view from

"It was a dead failure," he whispered,
as he looked around to see if anyone else
was within hearing.

Household Notes.
Hot sunshine will remove scorch.
The best liquid for cleaning old brass
is a solution of oxalic acid.
Kerosene applied to unused stoves will
keep them from rusting.
To clean knive cut a small potato,
dip in brick dust and rub them.
A damp cloth dipped in common soda
will brighten tinware easily.
Grease may be removed from silk by
applying magnesia to the wrong aide.
Cufpera-i dissolved in boiling water,
will insUintly cleanse iron sinks and
drains.
New irons should be gradually heated
at first ; they will not be so likely to
crack.
To extract paint from clothing saturate
the spot w ith spirits of turpentine let it
remain several hours, then rub it and it
will drop off.
Boiling water made strong with anmo
nia and applied with a whisk broom,
cleans willow chairs admirably. Soap
should never be used as it turns them
yellow.
Lamp burners when they become dim
and sticky, can be renovated by boiling
them in strong soda water, using a tin
tomato can for the purpose ; then scour
the burners with sa polio and they w ill

Before hanging towels on the line give
them several sharp snaps to straighthen

Farm and Garden Notes.
Do not fatten breeding fowls.
See that every bee colony begin the
season with a clean, sweet hive.
Never commit the blunder of breeding
a good mare to a poor horse.
Feed the horses plentifully, but judi
ciously, especially the work team.
Have the team arrange I with a view of
equalizing the strength as much as pot.
sible.
Overloading is liable to make young
horses balky.
Do not waste on land fertilizers that it
does cot need.
Currants need a rich strong soil ; the
roots run deep.
Trees are often planted in a thin, worn
out soil, and actually starved to death.
A good dressing of manure would have
saved them.
Give charcoal to the fowls once a week.

The second man then inquired :
" Anything for Patrick Maloney ?"
"Just looked for Patrick Maloney,"
said the clerk with a smile, "and there's

" Faith," exclaimed the waiting man

Eminent Facts.
The question is often asked and scarcely
ever answered, why whiskey made now is
not as pare and reliable as it was forty years
ago. It.is never the less a bet that it is
made purer and better to-day than at that
time. With the improved methexU fusil
oil and other impurities are entirely elimina
ted. A sworn statement as to the parity,
jre and quality of the whiskey sold is fur
nished by one dealer who advertises full
quarts, six year old pure Penn'a Rye, at
$1.00 per quart, or six quarts for $."0U. Sil
ver Age $1.50 per quart. Puqnesne $1.25
per quart. Tort, Sherry, Sweet California
