JMKr"and His Wife.?There are
^^Hrods who, among their male compan^^H^like
to have it supposed that they are
a little tyrannical at home. One such
^Vman, who had two or three friends at his
house one evening, remarked, as they
~ were chatting together comfortably at a
rather late hour:
"Yes, I do what I like at home. My
wife, she has to bend to my will, I can tell
Jou. In my own house I'm a regular
ulius Caesar!"
His wife came into the room in time to
hear this last sentence. The tyrant of his
household looked a little uneasy, but his
wife neither frowned, nor, apparently,
paid any attention to the remark. But after
a moment she remarked, very positively
:
"Gentlemen, it is late, and Julius Caesar
has got to go to bed 1"
Wnereupon the husband arose, stammered
his excuses and retired, leaving his
guests to find their way out as best they
could.
It was in another household that the
husband once remarked to his wife: "You
know, my dear, that I'm the head of the
house:"
"You may be the head as much as you
like," said the wife, "but I'm the neck."
"The neck? 0 yes, you may be the
neck if you want to, my dear."
"Very well. It's the neck that turns the
head whichever way it pleases, isn't it?"
A Good Pound.?"Logic is logic," as
Dr. Holmes very truly says; but even in
logic things are not always what they
seem. What looks like a right process
sometimes yields a wrong result.
A man presented himself at a farmbouse
in a remote district of Galloway,
and wished to buy a pound butter.
The "ouncle weights"?whicff were usually
nothing but beach stones, roughly regulated
to some standard?were rummaged
over and over, but the "pun-stane" was
nowhere to be found.
The guid wife took a long thought, till
suddenly her brow brightened.
"I ken how we'll manage it noo!" she
exclaimed. "Thegude man brought hame
a pair o' tangs yestreen which weighed in
the smithy just twa puu. Sae stand by,
and I'll soon weigh your butter."
Producing the tongs in triumph, she put
one leg in the scale, and let the other hang
out. The beam got its swing, and the
stranger, very well pleased, we may presume,
carried off his pound (?) of butter.
I?- "Nervy," called an old negro, addressing
his wife, "get yo' black crape an'
tie it on de latch. Quick, now, 'fo it's too
late." A white man who happened to be
near asked if any one was dead. "No,
sah." "Then why do you tie crape on
your door-latch ?" "Because," the old ne-#
gro replied, "yander comes a man dat I
owe. When he comer up and sees dis
, crape he'll think somebody's dead, and
won't bother me. After he goes erway I'll
take it off. 0 I tell you dat dar ain't but
one way to git erlong in dis yere worl'."
"And what way is that?" "W'y, sah,
dat way is ter git erlong de bes' way you
kin, an' de bes' way for me at de present
is ter put crape on my do'."
A short time ago, says the Albany
Journal, an order was received at the postoffice,
from Washington, to return uncalled
for postal cards to the writer in the same
way that letters have been sent back.
The clerk who was assigned to this task
turned over each card, read the writer's
name, and put it after the words "Return
to," on the face of the card. The distributing
clerk was astonished to find several
, of the cards endorsed with directions like
these: "Return to Father," "Return to
Silas," "Return to YourOwnest Own,"
etc. Now, whenever the clerk makes his
appearance in the office, he is greeted
with cries of "Return to mamma."

A COMPLAINT.
"Tabitha" sends the Indiana Farmer
this very interesting bill of particulars:
"Aunt Patience says in your paper,
quoting from some one: 'A woman may
love her husband devotedly, may sacrifice
fortune, friends, family, country, for him ;
but melancholy fact, if she fails to make
his home comfortable, his heart will inevitably
escape her.' That must have been
written for an Indian squaw and not for
us farmers' wives! How can I make our
home comfortable when there is not a
closet in the house, and only seven eightpenny
nails in the wall to hang our clothes
on, and there is not a blind on the windows
to keeD out the hot sunshine, and
there is no cistern for hot water, and the
big kettle that 1 made 'broke water' in ie
cracked, and the pump leaks and has to be
primed every time I want a little water,
and there is a hole in the garden fence and
the hogs got in and destroyed my truck 1
Don't tell me my husband can't afford tc
furnish better! Hasn't he got a new bam
and painted it red; and a new reaper, and
don't he ride when he rakes hay; and
didn't he pay a nice little sum for a 'chilled
Elow' the other day?1 I guess I chilled
ira when I showed him my bread pan
with a hole in it, stopped up with an old
rag! I am tired of this 'railing out' at us
women all the time, as if we didn't do the
best we can. If my husband would sell
that Golddust colt that he paid $50 foi
before it was ten days old, and put blinds
on our house and paint 'em green, and
make me a pantry and a sink and a cistern,
and throw away that the old Resor stove
that hasn't a whole lid to it, and make the
house only half as comfortable for me as
the stable is for the colt, my heart would
sing for joy; and, Mr. Editor, I want you
to put it in your paper and say theft we
farmers' wives are shamefully misused by
our husbands' neglect of necessaries ana
conveniences about our houses, and dc
you put a head line to the piece, saying
something about a colt or horse or cow,
and then they will read it, for it is only
the stock pieces that they read in youi
paper."
The editor of the Farmer did as requested
and obligingly headed the article "A
Kicking Cow," so that Hoosier husbands
would read it."
How to Preserve a Piano.?It is
evident that if the piano is to remain in
good order for many years, good care musl
be taken of it. The instrument should be
closed when not in use, in order to prevenl
the collection of dust, pins, etc., on the
sounding-board. However, it must not be
left closed for a period of several months
or longer, but be opened occasionally, and
daylight allowed to strike the keys, or else
the ivory may turn yellow. And hard
substances, no matter how small, dropped
inside the piano, will cause a rattling,
jarring noise. It is In every case desirable
that an india-rubber or cloth cover should
protect the instrument from bruises and
scratches. The piano should not be placed
in a damp room, or left open in a draft ol
air. Dampness is its most dangerous enemy,
causing the strings and tuning-pins to
rust, the cloth used in the construction
of the keys and action to swell, whereby
the mechanism will move sluggishly, 01
often stick altogether. This occurs chiefly
in the rainy season ; and the best pianos,
made of the most thoroughly-seasoned
material, are necessarily affected by dampness,
the absorption being rapid. Extreme
heat is scarcely less injurious. The
piano should not be placed very near to an
open fire or heated stoves. Moths are
very destructive to the cloth and felt used
in the pianos, and may be kept out of it by
placing a lump of camphor, wrapj&d in
soft paper, in the inside corner, care being
taken to renew it from time to time.
Many persons are unaware of the great
importance of having their pianos kept in
ordef, and only tuned by a competent
tuner. A new piano should be tuned at
least once every two or three months during
the first year, and at longer intervals
afterward.
Ventilate Sleeping Apartments.
As soon as the occupants have left the
room, the bedclothes should be entirely
removed from the bed and hung upon
the clothes-horse or the backs of chairs,
the bed shaken up, and all curtains, il
used, drawn closely to the bed-posts. The
windows should then be opened, both at
top and bottom:"T'hwy yilOUlR P&BJAVn
in summer, or in very fine weather, until
a little before sunset; in very sultry
aroathar onmo nntsida air mav he admitted
all night. In winter and early spring,
windows should remain open until a little
after midday, when the warmth of the
air is greatest, and then closed. In this
way the air of the best portion of the day
is shut in and kept for respiration during
the night, when the external air is at the
worst. A fire should be lighted for a few
hours during the afternoon, in very damp
or cold weather, so as to dry the air which
has been shut in. This is the only way in
which the exhalation from the bedclothes
can be got rid of in such a state of the atmosphere,
and thesweetness and purity of
the clothing and other material, which
are kept in wardrobes secured.
What Smoking Does for Boys.?A
certain doctor, struck with the large number
of boys under fifteen years of age he
observed smoking, was led to inquire into
the effect the habit had upon the general
health. He took for his purpose thirtyeight,
aged from nine to fifteen, and carefully
examined them. In twenty-seven
he discovered injurious traces of the habit.
In twenty-two there were various disorders
of the circulation and digestion, palpitation
of the heart, and a more or less
taste for strong drink. In twelve there
were frequent bleedings of the nose, ten
had disturbed sleep, and twelve had slight
ulceration of the mucous membrane of the
mouth, which disappeared on ceasing the
use of tobacco for some days. The doctor
treated them all for weakness, but
with little effect until the smoking was
discontinued, when health and strength
were soon restored. Now, this is no "old
wife's tale," as these facts are given under
the authority of the British Medical
Monthly.
Greasing Boots.?After much experimentation
on leather I came to the conclusion
years ago that neither lard nor
resin were suitable "Yor boots or shoes.
No grease I ever tried could pass through
leather with such facility as lard. It will
not remain in leather but immediately
passes through and may be found upon
the stockings. Itesin applied occasionally
will render leather so hard that boots
become very unsatisfactory. I have had
them to acquire the rigidity of wood. I
consider the best application to consist of
castor oil and tallow, with a preponderance
of the oil. Neat's foot oil is perhaps
nearly equal to the castor oil, and may
be used with tallow in similar proportions.
If the soles of new shoes or boots are well
saturated with a mixture of oil and resin
melted together, or oil, resin and beeswax,
I am convinced that they will wear
much better. But I would not have either
resin or beeswax applied to the upper
leather.?[W. G. B.
Bacon Fried in Batter.?There is no
more appetizing breakfast in the world
than thin rashers of sweet bacon fried just
enough, and served with fresh eggs, also
fried. To vary it a little we sometimes
fry it in batter, and when properly done
this Is an excellent dish. The bacon
should be cooked as for serving plain,
drained of all grease, and put on a hot
plate and set in a warm place. The batter,
which should be made while the bacon is
frying, is prepared as follows: Take half a
cup of flour, mix it smooth with a little
milk (four or five spoonfuls), beat one egg
and add a little salt; let the fat left in the
pan get quite hot, and with a fork dip each
piece in the batter and fry until a pale
brown on both sides, cooking only three
or four pieces at a time. They should be
Hp-ht and nuffv. and must be eaten at once.
For Poisons.?If any poison is swallowed,
drink instantly a half glass of cool
water, with a heaping teaspoonful of common
salt and ground mustard stirred into
it. This vomits as soon as it reaches the
stomach. But, for fear some of the poison
may remain, swallow the white of one or
two eggs, or drink a cup of strong coffee?
these two being antidotes for a greater
number of poisons than any other dozen
of articles known, with the advantage of
their being usually on hand; if not, a pint
of sweet oil, lamp oil, drippings, melted
butter or lard, are good substitutes, especially
if they vomit quickly.
Hot Lemonade for Colds.?Hot lemonade
is one of the best remedies for colds,
as it acts promptly and efficiently, and has
no unpleasant after-effects. One lemon
should be properly squeezed, cut in slices,
put with sugar, and covered with half a
pint of boiling water. Drink just before
g<Ag to bed, and do not expose yourself

WILLINGNESS AND GOOD FDSURES.
"Can you give me any work, please,
sir?" said a neat but poorly clad boy of
twelve years of age to a New York mer1
chant.
"Got all the help I need," was the short
and sharp reply of the busy city merchant.
"It's hard," replied the disappointed
lad, "that a boy that is willing to work
can't get a job in this large city."
"Why did you come to this^ity, my
boy?" asked the merchant, glancing at
the despondent lad.
"Because I want to earn enough to help
support ray mothei%nd sister."
This reply, with y|e peculiar manner of
the boy, somewhat^ioved the h&ijsh merchant,
and he asked:
"Whatare you willing to do?"
"Anything, sir. Anything in the world
that I can do well."
"Well, go and take hold, and pile up the
empty boxes and pick up the loose papers,
etc., down in the cellar."
In less time than it takes me to tell it,
the boy was hard at work picking up the
loose papers and piling up the empty boxes,
and cleaning up in general. During
the day the merchant asked the foreman :
"How is that strange lad working?"
"Like a beaver, sir. He is killing himself
with work."
When night came the work-worn lad
was offered one whole dollar for that day's
wages.
"No, sir 1" said the boy ; "give me onehalf
a dollar. It's all I think I've earned
and will buy me a supper and a lodging."
This the merchant thought was uncommon
honesty, and pleased him so much
that he told the lad to come the next morning.

notice the figures, and as they were so well

as to who made them. When he learned
that the new boy had made them, he sent
for him to comedown to the office. When
he'came into the office he was asked to
show a specimen of his writing by copying
an article. His writing was so beautiful
that he decided to hire him for an office
clerk. So this boy, that was once very
poor, obtained a permanent situation and
a good salary by his willingness to do any
work that was given him to do ; also, by
taking pains with his figures and writing.

WORDS FITLY SPOKEN.
One day during one of the trying financial
troubles through which our country
has passed, a New York merchant sat in
his counting-room studying how to steer
his bark amid the threatening breakers.
An intimate associate of his entered,
who was also suffering reverses. He was
about forty years of age; possessed of a
noble form and great business capacity.
Without noticing the offered salutation of
the merchant in the counting-room, the
visitor broke forth in the following language
:
"Well, I am going to give it up ; it is no
use to struggle any longer. I thought I
had got through the worst of it, and had
already weathered the point, but the blow
has come. My notes have gone to protest;
my credit is ruined. I have just left my
store for good, and the next you hear of
me will be from the morgue."
The merchant was astonished and bewildered
at these words spoken by his associate.
He sprang up, and forgetting his
own troubles for the moment, seized the
hand of his desponding friend, and shouted
aloud:
"Why, man, what is the matter with
you? Are you a coward ? Have you forgotten
your wife and children ? Have you
forgotten God? Do you believe that God
will permit anything to come upon his
people that he will not give them strength
to bear? You?a professing Christian in
the prime of life! how can you turn your
back upon wife, children and God, because
you have been disappointed in business?"
He dropped into a vacant chair and sat
in silence a few minutes; presently he
arose, and with tears, said:
r- ^thEtfryottf Y'mr+nrte
will never be guilty of this again."
He returned to his businessj made a favorable
arrangement with his creditors,
and was saved.
How much may be accomplished by a
few brave words from one who cherishes
an unshaken trust in God's overruling
providence! The beneficial results are
two-fold?an unconscious deliverance from
our own depression, and the rescue of
others from a similar condition, possibly
from suicide itself.
Woman Coming to Honor.?At the
trial of a minister before an ecclesiastical
court in Brooklyn, one of the parties resented
the application of the term "woman"
to one of the witnesses as in some
sense disrespectful. He was prom ply met
by citations from the Bible, showing that
it was there used as a perfectly inoffensive
name. But it was not necessary to go
nearly as far back as that for a defense of
the term. The truth is, that the word
"lady," except when distinctly used as a
term of classification?that is to distinguish
a particular woman?has now become
in best circles, both in this country
and England, an appellation with a little
burlesque in it, owing to its general adoption
by women in humble positions in
life. The cooks, laundresses, scrubbing
women, especially among the colorea
people, have all adopted it as a generic
term describing a person of the female sex,
without reference to her manners or position.
In other words, they use it instead
of "woman," and consequently, to those
who remember its original signification, it
is a little ludicrous, because it is used most
invariably to denote refinement of person
and manners. "Woman" has, therefore,
come once more into vogue as the ordinary
designation of the women who used to be
called "ladies," without, however, driving
"lady" out of use as a term of classification.
In this the English speaking usage
has simply been assimilated to that of the
French, who have always kept "femme"
as a perfectly respectful term. In fact,
great particularity in speaking of every
man and woman of one's acquaintance as
a "gentleman" and "lady," has now become
almost a mark of rusticity and, in
grave cases, of which is called "caddishness."
A Polite Little Boy.?Sixty or seventy
years ago children were trained both
at home and at school to be far more mannerly
than they are now. No little boy
ever thought of going into a neighbor's
house without pulling off his hat, tucking
it under his arm, and making a bow.
"Making your manners," they called it^
Little Calvin had been thus trained, and
though only three or four years old, always
did so when he went anywhere.
He had never been to church, and as his
mother was making him a suit of clothes
that he might go, apuzzlingquestion came
into his little head, "Ought he to make
his manners when he went into the
church ?"
He wanted to ask some one, hut like
many other people, he was ashamed to
ask what seemed so simple a question.
The Sunday morning came, ana still he
Ln/1 fnnn/1 aiif n>Lnf 4-rv /1a
UrtU 1JUI 1UUUU UUb w liai IU \Jl\J
44I'll be on the safe side, anyhow," he
thought to himself. 44It can't do any
harm."
So when fairly inside the church door,
he tucked his hat under his arm, squared
up, and made his manners.
I dare say there were some to smile at
the odd sight; but I think the good Father
to whose worship the church was dedicated,
was pleased with this act of politeness
in the innocent little boy.
A Danger.?The danger of false tenderness
in trainingchildren was finely illustrated
at one time in the following manner :
A person who was greatly interested in
entomology secured, at great pains, a fine
! specimen of an emperor moth in the larva
state. Day by day he watched the little
creature as he wove about him his cocoon,
which is very singular in shape, much
resembling a flask. Presently the time
drew near for it to emerge from its wrappings,
and spread its large wings of exceeding
beauty. On reaching the narrow
aperture of the neck of the flask, the pity
of the person watching it was so awakenened
to see the struggle necessary to get
through that he cut the cords, thus making
the passage easier. But alas! his false tenderness
destroyed all the brilliant colors
for which this species of moth is noted.
The severe pressure was the very thing
needed to cause the flow of fluids which
create the marvelous hues. Its wings were
small, dull in colors, and the whole development
was imperfect. How often we see
L __ .
a result in character when parents, thinking
to help a child over some hard place,
rob him of strength of purpose and other
qualities essential to the highest attainments
in mental and spiritual life.
How He Lost His Situation.?The
editor of the Waynesburg(Pa.) Republican
asked his nephew, "How came you,
James, to lose your place?"
"Well, I'll tell you," was the reply.
"I had an easy berth; got my seventyfive
dollars a month; had an assistant;
didn't have to get down till eight in the
morning; left at five; had a chance to
take life easy, but gradually began to take
it too easy?didn't get down until nine in
the morning instead of eight; waited to
smoke two cigars instead of one; grew
careless of my money, used four dollars
where I had been using two. a
"First, I knew my salary was cut down
a little, and then a little more; but I
I couldn't take the hint, but fretted about
my poor situation, and one morning I
waked up after a night's spree, and lo! I
didn't have any situation at all. But I'll
tell you what I did have, uncle, I had
my experience."
That youth is working at forty-five dollars
a month now, instead of seventy-five,
but he already has six hundred dollars in
the bank. Would that more of our youth
might be profited by his experience..
t&F A Christmas gift should be valued
not according to its money value, but by
the motives which prompt the giver. If
this method of valuation was universally
adopted, a great deal of unnecessary expense
would be avoided. Gifts at Christmas
should be received as evidences of
love or friendship, else the humble present
of a friend of narrow fortune would lose its
preciousness, while the more costly one of
the millionaire would be regarded as of
' value beyond Jubies. ft is we fact that
'gafclrare the'estimates too often put on
Christmas offerings.
1ST- If there is any class of persons who
need tenderness and encouragement it is
the tired mothers; weary limbs and
heart and puzzled brains all attest to the
fact. There ought to be special privileges
granted to tired mothers as much as to invalids.
Those who have passed through
this trying ordeal know how to sympathize,
know how to excuse many of the
shortcomings of those who are passing
through the narrow gateways, the thorny
pathways, the rough highways, where
temptation holds high revelry and the
angel of peace sits in shadow.
Lies and Liars.?Of all the cowardly,
unmanly acts in the whole range of sin, a
lie is the most contem pti ble. To a healthy
mind a deliberate lie is imposssible ; it is
absolutely incompatible with an honest
self-respect. No matter whether the lie
he discovered or not. the utterer is con
scious that he is a liar when he looks at
himself in the mirror. The man who lies,
and has ceased either to feel shame or sorrow
for falsehood, is the most degraded
being imaginable?far beneath the maniac
and the idiot. He can only be execrated
or pitied. ^
How Boys Can Make Money.?Bussell
Sage's advice: "By (1) getting a position
; (2) keeping his mouth shut; (3)
observing; (4) being faithful; (S) making
his employer think that he would be lost
in a fog without him ; (6) and be polite.
That is a good way to begin after he gets
there. If he lives up to these rules he
will not want a friend at court for any
length of time?in fact, not at all."
Wills, Won'ts and Can'ts.?There
are many kinds of boys and girls in the
world, but there are three kinds which deserve
special mention. They have been
called the "Wills," the "Won'ts," and the
"Can'ts." The "Wilte" accomplish everything,
the "Won'ts" oppose everything,
and the "Can'ts" fail in everything.

THE YORKYILLE ENQUIRER.
Reduction In Price to Clubs. <
$100.00 IN PREMIUMS TO CLUB-MAKERS.
ProNpectuM for 188?.
THE features of THE ENQUIRER, which
have been distinctive for nearly thirty-five
years, will be continued in the future, while
new attractions will be added, it being our de- '
termination to increase and maintain the popularity
of the paper with the masses of the
people, and especially those of York county.
With this idea in view, we shall devote especial
attention to the BUSINESS ADVANTAGES
and NATURAL RESOURCES possessed by
York countv?agricultural, mineral and climatic?and
in employing our columns in the
development of these. The completion of an
important line of railroad, traversing the entire
length from east to -vest of the county, will
add new life and animation all along the line of
its route, while its beneficial effects will be perceptible.
throughout the county. It renders
possible the inauguration of new enterprises
and the better development of the hidden
wealth of our county, in the accomplishing of
which THE ENQUIRER, as in the past, will
ever be a ready and cheerful instrument.
OUR PREMIUM PLAN.
Recognizing the fact that it is frequently the
case that the premiums we have heretofore of- '
fered for the largest clubs are not suited to
the wants of those to whom they "are awarded,
we have decided to offer only CASH PREMIUMS
for the five largest clubs as follows:
For the largest club for one year, $35; for the <
second largest clubs, $25; for the third largest
club, $15; for the fourth largest club, $10; and
for the fifth largest club, $5.
CONDITIONS.
These cash premiums will be awarded on
the following conditions:
To the persons getting up clubs oi subscribers
to the ENQUIRER, at $1.75 per annum for
each subscriber, will be awarded the premi ums
as stated above.
The time for completing the clubs under the
above offer is limited to 1 o'clock P. M., on the
SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1889. Competitors
may begin to secure SUBSCRIBERS
AT ONCE?the time of subscription to commence
whenever the name is handed in. The
money for each subscriber is expected to be
paid at the time the name is entered upon our
books, and no name will be counted in competition
for a premium and no premium delivered
until the subscription priqe has been paid.
To persons who make up clubs of ten or
more names, but who may fail to obtain one of
,tl? tthoxftgtswlmnfli thaBWOJIfr RER
for one year free of charg^ and to those
who send a club of twenty or more names, but
who may fail to get a premium, we will forward
the ENQUIRER one year free of charge,
and a copy, one year, of any weekly newspa6er
or monthly magazine -published in the
nited States, the publication to be selected by
the person entitled to receive it. Or, we will
give a copy of the ENQUIRER for one year
for a club of ten, and for all names over ten in
such clubs, TWENTY CENTS for each name.
It is not necessary that the names of a club
should all be at the same post office. Names
may be taken at any number of places. One
name fbr two years will be equivalent to two
names for one year each. i
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at
the expense of those sending them.
We will be resDonsible for the safe transmis
sion of money only when sent by draft, registered
letter or money order drawn on the Yorkville
post office.
In sending names, write plainly, giving
postoffice, county and State.
All subscriptions will be discontinued at the
expiration of the time paid for.
A separate list will be kept for each clubmaker,
who will be credited with every name
sent, so that the number sent by any one person
can be ascertained at a moment's notice.
Persons who commence making clubs will
not be permitted, after the names have been
entered on our books, to transfer the names to
another club-maker's list.
jZSy- The time in which additions may be
made to clubs under this proposition, will expire
on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH,
1889. Therefore, persons who desire the benefit
of club rates, must subscribe and pay for the
paper before that date, as after the expiration
of that time it will not be furnished for less
than $2.00 unless new clubs are formed.
All letters should be addressed to
