We are sorry to report a sad accident
from our vicinity. Ella, the four-year old
daughter of H. Wade, died Wednesday,
having been burned very severely the pre
Tious day. She was sitting by the fire place
when in some manner her clothes ignited,
burning entirely from her, despite the ef
forts of her mother to extinguish the Hames.
Her mother was not in the house at the
time, the srresms of the child twine her first
notice of the mishap. She hastened to the j
house but the clothes were all ablate when I
she reached the child. It is thought the
child inhaled the flames, thus hastening
ber death. She was buried Thursday in
the Damascus g.-aveyard.

is the use to growl and tell the people how
to do it? why don't they go at it and fix the
road instead of talking about it? or other
wise send men to the legislature who will
jnake better road laws. Keadkh

The "tea parties" of our grandmothers'
day are coming' into favor, writes Mrs.
Van Koert Schuyler In Ladies' Home
Journal. The table is set with old fash
ioned simplicity and lighted by candles
in silver "branches," as the candlesticks
in those faraway days were called. The
china is white and gold and the linen of
the very finest. Plates of thin bread and
bntter "spread on the loaf," cold ham
and tongue, grated cheese, fruit cake,
pound cake, crullers and jnmblea, with
"damson preserves" atnl "short cake"
known to moderns as soda biscuit con
cluding with hot waffles, furnishes a fac
simile tea table of 60 or 70 years ago.
There Is a certain old fashioned fra
grance about such informal meetings,
like the perfume that exhales from a jar
of roses, whose sweetness still lingers,
though the day of their blooming is past.
Housekeeping lUma.
Here ii the correct way to atone rai
sins: Free the raisins from the items and
then put them in a bowl. Cover them
with boiling water and let them atand
for two minutes. Pour off the water,
open the raisins, and tlie seeds can be re
moved quickly and easily without the
usual stickiness.
If, after brushing the coat or gown, it
Ii sprinkled with spirits of camphor and
aired a few hours, it will be tidy and
graceful. Garments and belonging! that
smell of nothing are the cleaneat and
most agreeable.
