r: We were very much surprised aud saddened
r to hear, late yesterday eveniiik ol the death
of Miss Leila Swearincton, which had just
j occurred at Abbeville. She was the eldest
- daughier of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Swearing ton,
|. of the Kork, whereupon the banks ol Kocky
p river, she was born and reared. She was
i- bountiful and accomplished, aud posessed of
ttiose qualities of mind and heart which alI
ways give the possessor easy access to the udmiration
and love of all whom they meet.
I We are told that "death loves a shining
? mark." Miss Leila is no more and we bui
' ; voice the feelinus ol her many irieuds. in exj
pressing heartfelt sorrow for the sad death of
this very estimable young lady, aud in extendi
UK the deepest sympathy to the many
dearoues left behiud in this their great bee

s Observe what direction your thoughts
II and feeling* most readily take when
you ure alone, and then you will form
s a tolerably correct opinion of your real

It is one of the inexplicable mysteit
ries that men should be eagerly conb

Or piatts, all of which will be inclosed with <
the original cemetery. Upon this land they
intend building a cottage for a "keeper" of 1

great and noble work and all who have loved

the dead should gladly embrace the privilege
of becoming a member. The society is greatly
encouraged by donations from persons in
various sections of the state who wish their .

not only have already made donations but
will ever and always be ready to pay their
annual dues. Header, liavn't you some loved

Into a beautiful garden, a lit resting-place for

Hints For the Household.
An excellent cure for hoarseness is
;o roast a lemon until it is soft all
through ; do not allow it to burst.
While still hot cut a piece from the
jnd and fill the lemon with as much
granulated sugar as it will hold. Then
>at it while hot.
It is sometimes convenient to rememaer
the following items of cooks' measjrement:
One pint of liquid equals one pound.
Two gills of liquid make one cupful.
Four teaspoonfuls make one table- 1
ipoouful.
Four round tableepoonfuls of flour
ivill weigh an ounce.
Half a pouud of butter will make one
jup.
Four cups of flour make one pound.
Two cups of granulated sugar make
>ne pound, but in powdered sugar it 8
will take two and a half cups to make ^
jne pound.
A little saltpetre added to the water s
n which cut flowers are put will Keep r
he flowers fresh a long time. .
To extract the juice from an onion,
;ut the onion in half and press it
igainst and move it slowly over a gra,er.
The juice will run off the point
)f the grater.
To ascertain if an egg is fresh, put it =
n a pail of water. If good it will sink
mmediately ; if it floats it is doubtful.
Prick a nutmeg witb a pin, and if it
;9 fresh and good, oil will immediately
spread around the punture.
Fresh meat should not be allowed to
remain rolled In paper, for the paper
svill absorb the juices. Remove the
paper and lay the meat on the eathenware.
/
Silver spoons that have become dis- *
colored by eggs may be cleaned readily
by rubbing with a soft cloth and a little
dry salt.
Silks or ribbons that are to be packed 8
away should be rolled in brown paper,
19 the chloride of lime in white paper
will discolor them. White satin should 4
be folded in blue paper and a brown
paper put outside and pinned closely t
together at the edges.
An excellent hair wash is made of
*. il.
one cencs worm ui puwueicu uuiqa
and half a pint of pood olive oil; pour
over them one pint of boiling water;
let the mixture cool, and pour it into a
bottle and shake before using. The
oil nourishes and the borax cleanses
the hair.
A simple disinfectant to use in a sick
room is made by putting some ground
coffee in a saucer and in the centre a
small piece of camphor gum. Light
the gum with a match. As the gum
bufns allow the coffee to burn with it.
The perfume is refreshing and healthful
as well as inexpensive.
If brooms are diped in a pail of hot *
suds for a minute or two once a week J J
it will make them tough and pliable,
and they will last much longer.
Paint upon' window glass may be easily
removed by rubbing with a wet
cloth in hot strong vinegar.
A piece of horseradish root put into
a jar of pickles wjll keep the vinegar
from losing its strength, and the pickles
will not be as liable to become soft
or mouldy. This is especially good for
tomatoe pickles.
If an article that has become usty is
soaked in kerosene oil for some time,
the rust will become loosened and
come (ff very readily.
A little kerosene is an excellent thing
for cleaning a zinc bath tub. Apply
with a soft woolen cloth, then wash off

polish with powdered bath brick.
To prevent pie juice from running
out in the oven make a little opening in
the upper crust and insert a 9traw or a
little roll of white paper perpendicularly.
The steam will escape through it
as through a chimney, and all the juice
will be retained in the p>e.

A sturdy little figure it was trudging
bravely by with a pail of water. So
many times it had passed our gate that
morning that curiosity prompted us to
futher acquaintance. 1
"You are a busy little girl*to-day."
" Yes'm."
The round face under the broad hat
? ti r i-u.i
wuh turneu lowaru us. it was ireumeu
flushed, aud per.spiriug, but cheery
withal.
"Yes'm it takes a heap of water to
do a washing."
"And do you bring it all from the
brook down there?"
"O we have in it the cistern mostly,
only it's been such a dry time lately."
"Aud there is nobody else to carry
the water?"
"Nobody but mother, an' she is
washin."
"Well, you are a good girl to help
her."
< n -i j ii
Jt was not a wen consiuereu compliment,
and the little water carrier did
not consider it one at all, but there was
a look of surprise in her gray eyes, and
'an almost indignant tone in her voice
as she answered : "Why, wf course, I
help her. I always help her all the
time ; she hasn't anybody else. Moth- ,
er'n rae's partners."
Little girl, are you and mother part- ,
uers ? Do you help her all you can."
