"It isn't my tongue, mamma," replied Bessie, "it's my teeth." The father of 5-year-old recently asked him what he intended to be when he grew up. "I haven't made up ray mind yet," replied the little fellow, "whether I'll be a man like you, or a .111rla lik? TTnole Harrv." Little Ethel (at breakfast)?"My egg is quite cold ; is yours?" Little Tommy?"Yes; I wonder what makes them that way ?" Little Ethel?"I guess cook made a mistake and boiled them in cold water." "Well, I never knew that before !" exclaimed 5-year-old Elsie, who was studying her Sunday school lesson. "Never knew what, dear?" queried her mother. "That David was a Republican," answered the little student. "What put that idea into your head ?" asked the mother. "Why," replied Elsie, "it says here David pleaded for protection,' so he must have been a Republican. I wonder if there is anything about Demo crats in the Bible, mamma ?"?Chicago Daily News. Unexpected Results ?"Say," said the man with the worried look, "do you remember giving me a lot of advice ou how to conduct my love affairs about two months ago ?" "Yes," replied the man with tne wise expression. "Told me if I wanted to win the girl i I should make love to her mother!" "Ub-huh." "Said if I could get the old lady od my side, all I had to do was to toddle around with a ring and say 'When?' to the girl." The wise man nodded. "Said for me to compliment the mother on her youthful appearance," continued the worried man, "and give her a jolly about how sad it was that the young ladies of the present were not to be compared with those of the past ?" "Yes. Yes. You won the girl, I suppose ?" 1 "Yes, I did?not. The old lady has sued her husband for divorce, and me i for breach of promise."?Baltimore American.

I was coming over from Baltimore on a train the other day, and a man who was writing in a book asked me how to spell ; 'proper.' I told him ; but a know-it-all who sat near disputed me. I bet him $10 even up that I was right and proved I was by four disinterested men. I gave the ten to charity." "How did the man contend the word 1 should be spelled?" "Why, he said there was only one ' 'p' in it." 1 "And you stuck for two, eh ?" 1 "I did, aud he finally owned up like a little man and handed me over his < money." I "And would you like to make the < same wager again and leave it to the dictionaries?" I "Not much ! I consulted 'em all | next day, and discovered that I had i bluffed that noor cban out of his wealth."?Washington Post. I The Family Descrired.?A Savannah sportsman who recently went on a fishing trip up the Savannah river tells a story of an old darkey whom he saw on the bank of the stream. To engage the old man in conversation just for fun, the sportsman called out: "Whose place is this, old man ?" "Hits Mr. Swinnon place," was the reply. "Good big place, isn't it?" "Yassir, purty big place." "Has Mr. Swinnon any children ?" "Yassir," was the answer; "begot four head ob daughter ; but he ain't got no son."?Savaunah News. t8T "Did you say that you love to watch the buds of spring unfolding on the trees and to hear the merry birds chirping as they hopped from bough to bough ?" asked the man with a cold cast of countenance. "Yes," said the enthusiast. "That's what I said. I suppose you have no sympathy in such matters." "Yes, I have lots of it. I was just about to show my sympathy by telling you one of the best remedies for coughs, colds, sore throat and hoarseness that the drug store can produce." Not What She Meant to Say.? One of the signs in the grocery store announced "Raspberry jam, 25 cents a jar." "Ah !" says Mrs. Newliwed, "isn't that dam dear?" "Beg pardon !" exclaimed the grocer. She tried it again. "I said, isn't that dam dear?"

MANY tiOUD USES OF SALT. Black cotton gloves or stockings will not crock if scalded in salt and water before wearing them. Salt cleauses the palate and furred tongue, and a gargle of salt and water is often efficacious. A pinch of salt on the tongue, followed 10 minutes afterward by a drink of cold water, often cures sick headache. Crtlf Kor/lonc or n ma mnlrpQ t.PPt.h UCftll* MU.UWUU V., white, and sweetens the breath. Cut flowers may be kept fresh by adding salt to the water. Weak ankles should be rubbed with a solution of salt, water and alcohol. Rose colds, hay fever and kindred afl'ections may be much relieved by using Gne dry salt, like snufT. Dyspepsia, heart-burn and indigestion are relieved by a cup of hot water in which a small spoonful of salt has been melted. Salt and water will sometimes revive an unconscious person when hurt, if brandy or other remedies are not at hand. Hemorrhage from tooth-pulling is stopped by filling the mouth with salt and water. Weak and tired eyes are refreshed by bathing with warm water and salt. Public speakers and many .noted singers use a wash of salt and water before and after using the voice, as it strengthens the organs of the throat. Salt rubbed into the scalp or occasionuly added to the water in washing prevents the hair falling out. Feathers uncurled by damp weather are quickly dried by shaking over fire in which salt has been thrown. Salt always should be eaten with nuts, and a dessert fruit salt should be specially made. If 20 pounds of salt and 10 pounds of murate of ammonia be dissolved in several gallons of water and bottled, many fires may be prevented. By splashing and spraying the burning articles the fire is soon extinguished. An incombustible coating is immediately formed. l j~ u ;r jf laurons may oe uiuuc suiuum >> rubbed over salt. A smouldering or dull fire may be cleared for broiling by a handful of salt. Salt thrown on any burning substance will stop the smoke and blaze. Bread insufficiently salted becomes acid, dry and crumbles. Bread made with salt water is said to be good in some cases of consumption. When cabbage, onions, or strong smelling vegetables have been boiled in pans, to prevent oders clinging to them, place some salt on the stove and turn the pans bottom up over the salt. In a few minutes the pans will smell sweet. HOME CURES. For sore throat try a compress of cold water. For bilious colic try soda and ginger in hot water. For sick headache rub peppermint oil on the temples. Tincture of arnica is the best application for sprains or bruises. A hop bag wrung from hot vinegar is a quick relief for earache. For nervous headache bathe the back of the neck with hot water. For cold in the head try snuffing powdered borax up the nostrils. Limewater and sweet oil applied immediately will take the. pain from a burn. Snuffing tannin is one of the best remedies for a serious case of bleeding at the nose. If an artery is cut tie a small cord or a handkerchief tightly between it and the heart. To cure ivy poisoning, when sugar of lead cannot be obtained, apply wood ash lye, then wash off with warm water and rub with vaseline. For neuralgia try wet cloths of alcohol and water, or paregoric, or laudanum and water, laid on a hot-water bottle, and the part steamed over it. For breaking up a cold take two drops each of camphor and laudanum on a lump of sugar, or 12 drops of champhor in 12 teaspoonfuls of water, taken by the teaspoonful every half hour. An excellent remedy that the Ger- ! mans use for curing a cold is the yolk of an egg beaten in a piut of water, a little butter, three lumps of sugar and : a teaspoonful of whisky. When it begins to boil pour it back and forth ; from one saucepan to another until smooth and frothy; allow it to cool, , then take a teaspoonful every half hour. Boys on the Farm.?Lots of boys ] are driven from the farm by the treat- ' ment they receive there. You cauuot i work a boy from 10 to 14 hours a day, i begrudging him a day off, and depriv- ' ing him of an opportunity to make a I little money, and have a little fun ou ; bis own accouut, and then expect that i he is going to stay on the farm. Boys > are not built that way. But if you 1 treat them right, encourage their ori- ' ginality and foster their development I and the doing of things for themselves, < the average boy is level-headed enough i to realize the advantages offered by I rural life. Some fathers make the mis- I take of trying to drive boys instead of I working with them, or fail to recog- ' nize the rapidity with which a bright ' boy gains knowledge and experience ] between 12 and 20, and how quickly he may know more or have better judgment in some matters than his < father. The parents are quite as often < at fault as the boys in those cases where 1 the complaint comes that the boys I won't stay on the farm.?Journal of t Agriculture. t Hen's Nests.?Hens will "steal" i their nests in summer and find some i secluded location where the ground c appears moist. The fact has prompted t some farmers to believe that a moist i location should be preferred for hens \ that are incubating. The selection of ( the nesting place by the hen is not be-|i cause the ground may be damp; but because she desires a cool location or I to get rid of lice in the poultry bouse, s In winter the hen prefers a warm and 1 dry nest. Experiments show that 1 sitting hens will hatch out as many I chicks from the eggs when the nests t are up on a dry hay mow as when \ they are located on damp ground. g JUisrcllancous pending.

Now Look* mh If tlie United State* Claim Acalnxt Turkey Will He Peaceably Collected. ? It can he stated on authority that the negotiations respecting the American missionary claims are progressing" in the most satisfactory manner, in the view of the government, says a Washington dispatch. The department has received from Mr. Griscom, the United States charge, a cablegram announcing the porte has undertaken to meet all of the engagements made with the United States minister respecting the payment of the claims set up on account of the destruction of the American mission property in Turkey. It is not stated when the payments will be made, and it is surmised that owing to the many obligations of greater magnitude pressing upon the porte, some time may yet elapse before the money is actually in hand. ~~ The charge also confirmed the press reports as to the publication by the porte of an irade authorizing the rebuilding of the destroyed missions at Harpoot and Harsan and the construction of au annex to the Robert college, ?! the great American theological school in Constantinople. This action of the Turkish authorities is regarded as of an importance far exceeding the mere v. payment of $90,000 on account of prop- gr erty destroyed by a mob. It amounts to a recognition of the right of our an missionaries to build schools in ruraey u and ensures thein against what they regarded as a gradual, but absolute exclusion from the domains of the sultan. Under the Turkish law buildings destroyed under the condition sur- J rounding those at Harpoot can be reconstructed only by special permission St of the porte. In the case of the Har- Ac poot schools und Robert college, the ('" applications have been pending for 3everal years before the porte, and sev- ? eral American ministers have vainly tried to forward them. Once an application progressed so far that it received the approval of the sultan ; but by mme mysterious means it was made way with by some one connected with the porte and never having been offi- 1 cially promulgated, was, of course, of co force. ? On the whole the officials here regard Mr. Griscom's cable as marking ;he safe passage of what might have ceen regarded as a critical point in the A cegotiations and feel couGdent that iu iddition to this notable concession the United States will secure all of its just ST claims. ?
