Juiraorous department. Why He Wept.?a very fat little boy with chubby legs that stuck out at right angles from his watermelon shaped body sat in a Georgtown ca? one day of the week. His fond mamma was engrossed in "says sbeing" and "says heing" with her companion, and Master Chunk made up his mind that he'd like to look out of the window. He rolled over and climbed uf on the seat. "Now, don't do that," said mamma. "You know you had one awful fall today doing that, so sit right dowu." Master (Jbuuk sat down. "Where did I fall, ma ?" he piped shrilly. "In the street car." "Did I hurt myself?" he asked. "Yes," she answered. "Where?" and he looked anxious, "On the head," his mother replied." "Master Chunk raised one cushion ol a hand to his head, and then, without the slightest warning, he let up a roar that would have made the bull ol Baskam green with envy. All the way up to High street mamma was busy comfortiug him. She had recalled a painful circumstance to him and he wept?wept the more loudly since there was no pain to distract his attention. And the woman across the car said if he was her child he'd stop yelling or she'd know the reason why. ?Washington Post. A Hunt For a Missing Word.? A North Carolina preacher in one ol our western counties whose memory sometimes fails bim at the critical point, was recently preaching a sermon before a Sunday school convention. His subject was "The liesurrection." The thought toward which be was driving with all physical earnestuess was that the doctrine of the resurrection was the very essence of the Gospel. The "word "essence" he had carefully calculated to use in a tremendous epitome of the whole thought. Rising on tiptoe, be shouted: "In a nutshell, my brethren, the doctrine of the resurrection is the very?is the very?" Alas! his chosen word "essence" was gone. He paused a second, and then strode forward and shouted in thunder tones: "The doctrine of the resurrection is the very?is the very?" The recalcitrant was again nowhere in sight. Pausing once more, and mustering his physical weapons for a final desperate eudeavor, he lowered his voice, hut with his intense earn esiuess, as ll auglj mm Jiuu. uuovu, "esseuce," he again let drive: "Brethren, the thought I have tried to impress upoo you is that the doctrine of the resurrection is the very?is the very? is the very soup of the Gospel!"

Never having been before, I lost my way and could not find my hotel again, because I neither spoke nor understood French. Thinking some of the people I met might understand written English, I went into a stationer's shop and bought a large card, on which I wrote, 'Please tell me the way to the Hotel de Lille et d'Albion.' "Again I sallied out, showing my card to several; but still to no purpose. At last a man read it and silently beckoned me to follow him, which I did as silently a mile or more. Then he pointed, still silently, to the sign of the hotel, and when 1 saw it, I broke the silence by exclaiming, 'Thank you !' " 'What!" he replied in amazement, 'are you an Englishman? So am 1, but I took you to be deaf and dumb.' " Then He Didn't Eat.?An English merchant was invited by a Chinaman to dine with him. Neither could speak the other's language, and a conversation was carried ou by means of gesticulations and signs. Amoug the dishes was one which seemed very savory. The Englishman had au idea it was duck, but to make certain he pointed to the dish and pleasantly insinuated, "Quack, quack !" The Chinaman wagged his head and said : "No-ey, no-ey ! Bow-wowwow !"

A lack of proper system i9 one reason why so many men and women fail in what they undertake, and make life a mere existence. How many head;: of families there are who are unable to tell whether their account would show a balance or a deficit. I once boarded with a hardworking family that was seemingly ever striving to get the better of poverty. On one occasion the man was con -ratulating him self upon being able to say tnat it nau cost him just $25 to live that month. My board bill would bring that down to $10, as board was included in the expenses, he said. I knew from observation that he kept no farm account, so I proposed to bim that, for amusement, we create a ledger of all debits and credits, draw a balance sheet and prove beyond dispute whether be was losing or gaining. After itemizing the bacon, lard, eggs, flour, vegetables, milk, butter, poultry, to say nothing about the labor required to prepare these items for consumption, as he raised them on his farm, we found that, instead of $25, his family had consumed just $53 more than his income amounted to. Now, is it any wonder a man or woman will slide backward when they attempt to run things without system? Many good people never think of charging what they raise on the farm to expense account. It reminds me of an old man who would buy a barrel of flour for $5, eat of it three times a week, and when it was all gone he would say it was cheaper than corn meal, while at the same time be had eaten $15 worth of corn of bis own raising along with the flour, that be did not charge himself with. If people would just try this systematic plan for one year they * " * ?- J UTL T TO would oe surprised. nu?u i w? iu years of age my father died, leaving my mother with four children, and everything on the place was systematized. Every bushel of grain, every pound of meat and butter, every crate of cabbage, every dozen of eggs, every basket of fruit, every fleece of wool, every fowl; in fact, every particle of produce was Charged to expense account. Likewise every item of income was credited, and at the end of the year she could see as plainly as the merchant what positiou she was in financially. She is now gone ; only two of her children survive and they are well to do.?J. M. Adams. A Few Points on Canning Fruits. To some people canning fruit is one of the biggest bugbears of tbeir household duties. They dread it, and from the time the first berries and cherries make their appearance, until the last peach and pear have been taken care of, they live in constant fear of their fruit fermenting and spoiling. With (myself, while it is a work that I have no fear as to the result, it is always satisfactory?always what I intend it shall be?a success. In canning fruit for sauce, I measure into my preserving kettle only enough raw fruit, as near as I can guess, to fill one jar when it is cooked. This method may seem very tedious to some, but in the end it pays, for in this way the fruit has a chance to be thoroughly cooked wit bout crowding and the danger of cooking it too much is also lessened. To save time, one can have several kettles over the fire at once, but do not try to expediate matters by cooking a large quantity of fruit all together. I have seen it tried a number of times, with always the same result; ;< oKonlnialu annr whpn nnened. it would be a flat failure. Another important point which should be carefully watched is to have the jars perfectfully air-tight, and in using the self-sealers, if the tops do not screw on sufficiently tight with one rubber, add an extra one. This should remedy the trouble, which is caused by the jars being uneven or defective at the mouth. After the fruit is canned, protect from the light by wrapping paper around each jar, or better still, fill the boxes the jars came in when purchased, and set in a place with as little change of temperature as possible. There will be no danger of its spoiling if it has been properly cooked.?Emma R. Makemson in Farm, Field and Fireside. Howr to Make Corn Beer.?Compound the following: Two gallous cleau white corn ; boil in enough water to keep it always well covered until it is soft; mash fiue and add six gallons hot water. While the above is being compounded prepare the following : Pour two gallons boiling water on 2? ounces, sassafras, 1J ounces wild cherry bark, 2? ounces alspices, 2? ounce wintergreen bark, 1? ounces hops and $ ounce coriander seed. Now add to this the boiled corn and its solution and two gallons of molasses. Let the mixture stand one day only covering it with a cloth to keep out the dirt, and then strain through a wire sieve aud again through a cheesecloth, aud add one pint good fresh yeast and enough water to make 15 gallons. Now drain off into a clean cask having a faucet, leave out the bung plug one day and then drive it in hard aud fast, and three days thereafer the beer will be fit for use. Any quantity may be made according to the above proportions. Salt to Hasten Decomposition.? It is only when used iu large amounts as a pickle that salt retards decay. Used in small amounts on either animal or vegetable matter, with enough water to dissolve it salt will always hasten decomposition. For this reason it is an excellent plan to use it whenever it is desired to have manures act more quickly. A little sprinkled over a mauure heap with water enough to wash it down will set it to fermenting. It will do the same when a trv..r* k oa/1 Koe Konn nlnwerl linrlpr lUU^U OVU UUU 1/vvu |/.v .. which it is necessary to rot quickly.?

IMPORTANT TO BANKRUPTS. ; I Exemption Waivers May Be Enforced In j Federal Courts. | Judge Emory Speer of the United ( , States district court rendered at MacoD last Friday a decision of great impori tance. It affects the immense volume | j I of indebtedness upon written promises < to pay where the debtors waive the j benefit ot the homestead and exemp- j tion authorized by the law of the state > and the private credit secured thereby. | A number of bankrupts who had exe- < cuted such debts with waiver of home- | , stead caused their exemptions to be i set apart in bankruptcy, and sought , their discbarges, whereupon counsel | . for the creditors filed plenary proceed- j ings in the nature of bills in equity | , seeking to stay the discharges until < the creditors holding waiver notes S could put their claims in judgment, ( either in the state court or in the United States court, this being the ] method by which the stipulation of s waiver could be made effective as a ( lien binding upon the bankrupt's ex- ( emptions. These bills were demurred ( to upon the ground that the United ( States court did not have jurisdiction [ to determine claims against the bank ( rupt's exemptions. ] The case was heard on the demur- ] rer. Judge Speer, differing from Judge ] Newman of the northern district of j Georgia, held that the United States , court had jurisdiction to enforce by , suitable decrees the waiver notes j against the exemption set apart to the , bankrupt. He stayed the discharges ] until creditors of this class could have j their claims definitely settled, and f directed in the cases ueiore me coun that decrees be entered making the exemptions liable for the debts due on the notes waiving homestead from { exemption. Otherwise the discharge ] in bankruptcy would have barred pro- < ceedings on all claims of this class, j and where they had not previously ( been reduced to judgment in the state , courts, would have defeated the rights | of the creditors inuring uuder the con- , stitution of the state which makes a , debt containing a waiver of homestead , bindiug upon the property exempted , thereby. j THE PHILIPPINE BEES. J Money Makerit Which Would Pay to In- 1 troduce Into the Uulted States. From Freedom, U. S. Edition. There is one race inhabiting the Philippines which should be a welcome addition to American citizeuship and should receive every inducement to emigrate to the United States. It is the giaut honey bee, known to science as Apris Dousata. Its immense capacity for making honey and wax has interested men of science here and an early effort should be made by ( the department of agriculture to iutro- 1 duce it into the United Stales. It is nearly one-half larger thau the ' American native bouey bee, and builds 1 a comb, heavy with wax and bouey, 1 live or six limes as large as those found 1 iu Americau orchards and forests. They are fouud in the mountain re- J gions all through India and have been J seen busily at work at latitudes of 5,- 1 000 feet in the Philippine Islands. ' Their colonies are most numerous in I the mountains, as the unceasing quest 9 of the natives for their honey combs 8 has driven them from the unprotected 1 fiatlands of the coast to the less thickly c inhabited and more heavily wooded \ mountain regions. The Filipinos fiud c their daily bread a rather easy propo- 1 silion, but they are very fond ol honey 1 on the staft of life. There is also a 9 large demand for the wax for use iu ' dyeing. The big bees build their hives on ^ tall forest trees or on the overhanging 1 edges of cliff. When undisturbed, ? branch swarms build near the parent 1 colony, so that in a few years an immense bee settlement often grows up in the forest. The bees build a comb five or six feet long, four feet wide and J from seven-eighths lo one and one-half * inches in thickness. 1 In appearance the giant bee is a smoky, glittering, irndescent black 1 wasp-like figure, with orange bands eucircliug its body.

LOOK OUT FOR THE FIRST CHAPTERS PHOTOGRAPHY IB AIM ART AND it takes an artist to be a photographer. One who is not an artist doesn't stand much of a chance of making a success at photography. I have given years of study to this especial line and I can say with pride that my work will compare favorab ly with that of any photographer in this section. The best and most perfect photographs are the results of experience and not experiments. I do all of my developing, retouching and finishing, thereby obtaining the best possible results. As Far As Prices Are concerned, you need not worry yourself along that score. I know that my prices are reasonable and you will agree with me when I tell you what they are. I am also prepared to develop and print pictures taken with pocket cameras. If you have a Kodak or Vive or any other camera, and for any reason you can't develop and print your pictures, bring them to me at my gallery on West Liberty street. J. K. SC'HORB.
