FULTON COUN T NEWS. CONDENSED STORIES. " The Bottle of Perfume, the Carpet Sweeper and the Jury. Tlio essence of hospitality is Mr. Hank Smith of.. Michigan when hia couKtittKMit.s come to town. He guides thorn 'about the capitol, in troduces thcni to tho notables in public life, presents them at the White House and sees to it that they receive favorable mention in the newspapers. I'.nt a fond lover of a ood story is this one of tho thrce'Sniiihs from .Michigan, and when he was going the rounds the other day with .Mr. John K. Tlird of Adrian, a leader at the bar in those parts, he could not forego a remi niscence. "J!ird and I were once opposing counsel in a pint growing out of alienation of au"eetion," said Mr. Smith. "J To was attorney for the accused and I for the aggrieved. It developed that the defendant had sent a sweet bottle of perfume to my client's wife, and in tho course of the trial I examined him very closely about that little memento. The defendant assured me he had been buying several Christmas gifts and. secing-thn beautiful bottle of perl'miie, bethought himself to pur chase it for the wife of my client. " 'And did you also think to buy something as a Christmas gift for yo;ir own wife?' I usked him. " 'Yes.' "'WhaOvas it?' " 'A carpet sweeper,' responded the defendant. "Up to that time tho case had been going in favor of my friend Bird," continued Mr. Smith, "but with that response I saw him slide down in his chair." "And what was the outcome?" Mr. Smith was asked. "That carpet sweeper turned the jury in in v favor," he replied, "and cost the defendant, who had pur chased it, exactly $-,0i0." She Owsd Grimm a Thaler. I heard an" interesting anecdote cf Jacob (irimm the other day. One of the prettiest fairy tales ends with the words "whoever refuses to be lieve this story owes me a thaler." One winter morning a little Jew ish girl rang tho doorbell in Berlin and asked the rervant if llerr Pro fessor Jacob (irimm was at home. When informed that he was not, she said politely: "Will you please hand him this thaler when he returns?" Tho servant took the coin, glanc ed at it cui ici'sly and inquired who sent it and what it was for. "I owe him the money myself," said the little irirl. "Why, what' for?" "Because I don't believe the story about the wolf." Chicago Record Herald. How He Loved Her. A negro man went into Mr. E.'s office for tho purpose of instituting a divorce suit against his wife. Mr. E. proceeded to question him as to his grounds for complaint. Notic ing that the man's voice failed him. Mr. K. looked up from his papor and saw that big tears were running down over the checks of tho appli cant for 'divorce. "Why," said the lawyer, "you seem to care a great deal for your wife. Did you love her?" "Love her, sir? I jest analvzed her!" This was more than professional dignity could withstand, and Mr. E. laughed until tho negro, offended, carried his case elsewhere. Short Stories. Something Like It. One of tho Texan friends of Rep resentative Cooper met him the oth er dav, savs the Washington i'ost. "You smoke, don't you?" he ask ed. "Sometimes," said Cooper. what is 1'lV" "Take ibis," remarked the Tex an. "This is something like a ci- Cooper took the weed, lighted it and pulled three or four times.

FOR THELITTLE ONES. Lloyd Saw tho Toad Pull His Skin Over Hia Head. Lloyd was fond of all the creation that lived in the garden, from the robins !.i-h rp in the a;. pie tree to the little ants which built their homes in tho gravel walks, lie was always careful not to hurt any of them, but he thought some of tluun more interesting than others. Thee was a toad which he called his, and he fed it with crumbs every day. He liked to 'watch it as it hopped about among the plants, darting out its bright red tongue to catch any small insects which came in its way. One day Lloyd ran to his mother in great excitement. My toad is trying to get his skin off!" he tried. It was true, and when Llovd and his mother reached the toad they saw him pulling his skin over his head in much the way that a little girl would take oil her high necked, long sleeved apron, only it was hard er work for him to do. But he tug ged away with his fore feet until he was free, and then what a bright new coat he displayed! Jilovd was delighted, and lie ask-! cd many questions about toads und j the way in which they changed their coats, and after that he was more! fond of his toad than ever. Emma : C. Dowd in Our Little Ones. Tops and Top Spinning. Top spinning is one of the oldest games in the world. Jt lias la-en played for thousands of years, and there are few even of the savage na tions of Asia and Africa who don't play the game with some sort of top. Long before Columbus sailed for . America the Indians knew a good deal about tops and top spin- TITItEE QCKP.n TOl'S. ning. Tho Sioux whittled them out 1 of bits of wood, something like the ' one shown in the picture. In Cey-; Ion, iSiam and China nearly all the , topB are 'bo tixed that they whistle or sing when they spin. The or- dinary top used by the American I boy is probably tho most popular ' in the world. It is extensively used iu England and in all of her colo- j nies. Tho German top is larger and more expensive, and the French top j is quite dill'crent in shape. None of them will stand tho pegging and ! battering of the stubby little Ameri- j can top. 1 i Good Advice to Young Men. The following epigramniatieal pe-; riods are from President Porter, Yale college: "Young men, you are ; the architects of your own fortunes. llely on your own strength of body j end soul. Take for your star self ' reliance. Inscribe on your banner: j 'Luck is a fool. Pluck is a hero.' j Don't take too much advice. Keep at the helm and steer your own ship and remember that the art o( commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of your self. Strike out. Assume your own position. Put potatoes in a cart. ill., it go over a rough road, and the small mina irn in l!u lintinm. I!iso nliove e ' ' the envious and jealous JtlM." Hum u r ire above the mark you intend to hit. Ener gy, invincible determination, with a right motive, are the levers that move the world. Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't marry until you can support a wife. 15o civil. Head lho papers. Advertise your business. Hake money and do good with it. Love your God and fellow men. Love truth and virtue. Love your countrv and obey its laws." New Use For the Thermometer. The thermometer always hung outside the porch door in summer and in the family sitting room i.i winter. The rise and fall of the mercury had never been explained to the small boy of the family, win regarded the instrument with gn-ut respect as a generator of heal i;e in importance to the sun. One cold day in March he rushed in from the barn and demanded : "Ma. gimme the thermometer quick!" "What on earth do you want of tho thermometer?" "I want to hang it up in tho sheep pen: the new lambs are rliiv erin' dreadful." The ouly solution to tho servant girl problem is not to have any. There were li,516 immigrants refused admission to tho United States last year. Some people remain p,,(,r be cause they throw so many bou quots at themselves.

Broiled bacon is a dish which in few households deserves the adjee live, because it is seldom broiled. The fat is fried out of it and again rWked into it by long spluttering in a spider full of grease. The only way to cook bacon, both for the matter of appearance and for diges tive qualities, is to broil it not over a bed of coals it is too fat for that but in a very hot oven. Cut the bacon in the most delicately thin slices possible, rejecting the rind. Lay the pieces close together in a fine wire broiler. Flaoe it over a dripping pan and sot in a hot oven. It requires to be turned just once, j The fat which falls into the pan , makes excellent drippings for frv- ing potatoes. Drain the bacon on brown paper. If you wish to serve i calf's liver with this, sprinkle the iiver wiin pepper ana sail, ro. u m Hour and fry brown in tho ijacon drippings. Serve with a curled mor sel of bacon on Uq of each piece of liver. Baton as served by the aver age cook, well soaked in grease, is the most indigestible of food. When broiled crisp in the oven, it is a dish that mav be served even for a child of two years with impunity. Among all the fats delicately crisped bacon ranks next to cream in ease of di gestion. Good Housekeeping. A Boot and Shoe Bag. With the limited closet space mod ern houses olTer a place to keep boots and shoes is a puzzle. They tan be left on the lloor of one's closet or under furniture where they will not show, but they will accumu late dust and get kicked out of shape. The nicest way to dispose of them is to have a roomy shoe bag tacked upon thc inside of the closet door. It should be made of stout ! material and have dec) pockets, or ! it will not answer its purpose. 11a j bitual suit dwellers have numerous ; devices for economizing space. They study the matter from all sides and sometimes develop great talent for ' inventions. Couches arc provided with lids, and a deep receptacle for packing away dresses and boxes of the flat variety used by tailors and .department, stores are lillcd and stowed snugly away behind thc fur i niturc or under it everywhere they can be bidden. lioston Traveler. A Kitchen Time Table. The following rules for "time of ' cooking" should be pasted in a i prominent place in tho kitchen and ! given frequent reference: Eggs (soft), coffee, clams, oysters, three to live minutes. Green corn, small lish and thin I slices of lish, live to ten minutes. Potatoes, macaroni, squash, cel ery, spinach, cabbage, twenty to thirty minutes. Kice, sweetbreads, peas, tomatoes, asparagus, hard boiled eggs, fifteen to twenty minutes. Young beets, carrots, turnips, on ions, parsnips, cauliflower, thirty to forty-five minutes. String beans, shelled beans, oys ter plant, forty-five minutes to one hour. Fowls, mutton, veal, two or threa hours; corned beef, smoked tongue, fresh beef, three to four hours, and ham, four to five hours. A Safe Light. A safe light for going about with where there are inflammable mate rials, as into a storeroom, may be made as follows: Take a long bottle ot pale glass and put into it a piece of phosphorus the size of a pea. Upon this pour pure olive oil heated to the boiling point until the bottle is about one-third full and cork tightly. When light is needed, take tho cork out and allow the air to enter, subsequently recorking. The empty space in the bottle will then i I.I'IUIIIU imillliuur iiini ii; ,iu.iu mi ,f (1. : . ... 1 1 : ..I.rrt fl.A it can easily be revived by uncork mg the bottle for a few seconds. One bottle will last a whole winter. Small bottles may also be prepared in this way and carried in the pocket. How to Make Snaps. Snaps are made by rubbing half a pound of butter into two pounds of flour. Then add half a pound of brown sugar and a level tablespoon ful of ground ginger. Pour in, mix ing all the while, one pint of New Orleans molasses. The dough must be moist, not wet. Take it out on the board, knead until it becomes clas tic, roll very thin, cut with a small round cutter and bake in a moderate oven until a light brown. The dough may be cut into small fancy shapes, in which form they please children very much. Candlesticks. The variety in candlesticks is no ticeable this season, and the prices are as varied as the range. A pair of serviceable and pretty candle holders in crystal may be had for a dollar, and a couple of classic min iature columns iu brass are sched uled at $7. A number of society women of New York are interesting them selves in what is called the nickel concert. They are members of pi eminent music societies.

FOR SUNDAY READING. Thoughts or Others to Make Yon Think. UATHKHKI) HY O. S. UKKLIN. Better bo dim gold than shin ing brass. Ho who overvalues himself, undervalues his Savior. lie who abounds in piety is sure to be tilled with humility. Great thoughts of self and great grace never go together. ; One sin, like one match, can I kindle the tires of hell within the soul. Thero ia no prom,8e that thc ., . 1 , , . we have wrought shall mo to bless us. When we bocin to talk of our l)crrRCtiou. oul. lmnrf-.tion is getting the upper hand. Those who give not till they I die, show they would not then if i they could keep it any longer. Birds are seldom taken in their flight; tho more we are upon the wing of heavenly thoughts, tha more we escape snares. To tlx our confidence upon a dying world is folly. It is is if we were building our nests when the tree is being cut down. Those who change their relig ion generally need to be changed by their religion before they will have auy religion worth the hav ing. There is as much felony in coining pence, as shillings and pounds. The egg of mischief is .smaller than that of a midge; a world of evil lurks in a drop of rebellion. They are dead tish which are carried down tho stream. Dead souls are always drifting, drift ing, drifting as the current takes them. Their first inquiry is what is customary. When a bone is out of joint, the longer the settiug is foreborne the greater will the pain of the patient be; yea, it may be so long neglected that no skill nor art can set it right again. So it is in the care of a wounded spirit and a bleeding conscience. There are fatalities in thought as in life; and concessions may be made which cannot be recalled. Thiuking and conduct are alike beset with danger; and an error iu thought must logically be fol lowed by an error iu conduct, a fact to which we give too little emphasis. Men make laws as tailors make garments to fit the crooked bodies they serve for, to suit the humors of the people who are to bo governed by those laws. God has ordained his law according to tho rule of perfect equity, and he will not adapt it to our predjudi cos and deformities. When crippled by long service there is hardly a green spot on the earth for a white-haired min ister, unless he tinds it in the cemetery. Ho is admired until he says "Amen" in his farewell sermon, and aftor comes neglect. If he can go to heaven at once, all is well; if he insists on living, his last days are full of sorrow aud pain." The Bible is to many people an ornament for the centre table. Used in this way, it ought to be expensively bound and kept free from the marring stains of daily use. To others, it is a religious luxury, a very important book to have within reach in caseof emer gency, because it vouches for the spirtual respectability aud the orthodoxy of the owner. To still others, it is one of the necessaries of life, a joy, a comfort, a consola tion. Among such people tho book is seldom found iu good con dition, from the binder's point of view. It is dog-eared, thumb marked, and many of its verses are so dimmed by constant use that they are read with difficulty A family with a dog eared Bible make earnest church members Bibles with tho gilding perfect m e nu accusation.
