In private, Mark Twain is full of jests,

But looked and loved, and loved and looked

Encourage Your Wife.
Praise your wife, man; for pity's sake,
give her a little encouragement; it
won't hurt her. She made your home
comfortable, your heart bright and
shinning, food agreeable; for pity's sake
tell her you thank her, if nothing more.
She don't expect it; it will make her
eyes open wider than they have these
ten years, but it will do her good, and
you, too.
There are many women to day thirst
ing for words of praise, the language of
encouragement. Through summer's
heat, through winter's toil, they have
drudged uncomplainingly, and so ac
customed have their fathers, brothers
and husbands become to their monot
onous labors they have looked for and
upon them as they do the daily rising
of the sun, and its daily going down.
Home every day may be made beauti
tiful by an appreciation of its holiness.
You know if the flour is clean, manual
labor has been performed to make it so.
Y'ou know if you can take from your
drawer a clean shirt whenever you
want it, that somebody's fingers have
ached in the toil of making it fresh and
agreeable, so smooth and lnstrous.
Everything that pleases the eye and
scene has been produced by constant
work, much thought, great care, and
untiring efforts, bodily and mentally.
It is not that many men do not ap
preciate these things, and feel a glow
of gratitude for numberless attentions
bestowed upon them in sickness and in
health, but they don't come with a hear
ty "Why, how pleasant you make
things, wife!" or "I am much obliged
to ypa for taking so much pains." They
thank the tailor for their "fits;" they
thank a man in a full omnibus who
gives them a seat; they thank a young
lady who moves along in a concert
room in short, they thank everybody
outof doors, because it id the custom;
and come home, tip the chairs back
and their heels up, and pull out tho
newspaper; grumble if their wife asks
them to take the baby, scold if the fire
has gone down, or if anvthinir is just
rignc, snut tneir montus, witu a snap
of satisfaction, but never say, "I thank
you.

civility to those common articles of
housekeeping, your wives, if you would
give them the one hundredth and six
teenth part of the compliments you al
most choked them with before you were
married, fewer women would seek for
other sources of affection. Praise your
wife, then, for all tho good qualities
she has, and you may rest assured that
her deficiencies are counter-balanced by
your own.
One View on the Matter. A Ger
man professor who visited our country
a few years since, seems to have been
greatly shocked by the conduct of Am
erican wives. He seriously declares
that on more than one occasion he heard
an" American woman say to her husband,
"Dear, will you bring me my shawl?"
and the husband brought it! And fur
ther, that he had seen a man come home
and find his wife sitting in the best chair
in the parlor, and not only did she not
rise to get his dressing-gown and slip
pers, but she did not rise at all, and let
him find his own chair as well as other
comforts! The professor thinks that in
stances like these show a terrible lack of
wifely reverence for their husbands on
the part of American wives. It is hard
to overestimate the value of this well
weighed criticism from so eminent a
source, basod as it is, on undeniable
fects. The female woman in this coun
try has unquestionably arrived at a de
gree of individualism which places her
in many things on a level with man.
She cannot be depended upon to get
out of bed at four o'clock of a winter
morning to make a fire and get break
fast, while her lord and master takes a
beauty nap, with anything like the cer
tainty that she once could. She ob
jects to fill her husband's pipe, and
start it with a few gentle puffs, as
any professor's sponse ought to. She
opens her husband s letters on the same
ground that he opens hers. A man
has no right here to whip his wife, or to
harness her to a plow, as the German
farmers do. In fact, it's getting so in
our country mat a wiie nas almost as
many rights as a husband, and the con
viction is slowly gaining ground that
marriage is a matter of mutual service
and attention. If tho professor pays us
A J 1 A ' m v
another visit, ten years from now, he
will be doubly shocked, according to
present prospects.
A Yearning for Information. An
unmarried man being left in charge of
a six-year-old boy by his- parents says
ne was plied with questions, of which
these are a fractional part. What was
my name, and my brother's and my fa-
Al ,1 TIT1 . . .
iiicr a uuu ujr v nai was me reason,
if I didn't have any little boys I didn't
have any little girls? All this put in
one question, with no stops and a grad
ual inflection. Was them buttons
gold on my sleeve, and why? Did they
cost one hundred and fifty dollars? If
they didn't cost one hundred and fifty
dollars, what would be the price of a
gold house with gold furniture and a
gold staircase? Did I ever see a house
with these auriferous pecnlarities? No!
What then, would be tho cost of a lead
en carriage and iron harness? And
why? Did I know why the flies walked
on the ceiling? Could I walk on the
ceiling? Not if I had one man to
hold my head and the other my legs?
Why couldn't I? Not if I was a giant?
Was I personnally acquainted with
any? Did I know any stories and what
were they? Tho victim caught on this,
and crammed the youth with extracts
from the"Abrabian Nights" and "Bar
on Munchausen," until he is certain
a pent-up torrent of geopraphical ques
tions will burst on that father regarding
the location of the "Floating Island"
aed the "Valley of Cream Cakes'.' that
will make his life miserable.
The Cincinnati Gazette describes a
strange scene at the recent execution
of a mullato who had been convicted
of murdering two men. The barbar
ous attack upon the Chisholm family
last April is still fresh in the minds of
all our readers, and a great rabble of
sympathizers with that murderous mob
boasted that the confession of this mu
latto, Biley, would implicate Judge
Chisholm. They resolved to force him
to confess thas he had been hired by the
judge to do the bloody deed. But the
doomed man steadily adhered to the
simple statement that he commuted the
murders without aid or consul from any
man. In vain the crowd urged that he
be again and again questioned; he per
sisted in reiterating that he told the
truth, his last words being: "One
m,1.nntf' and 1 shsdl Btanl before God.
All I have said is true."
The Household.
For Stabchino Lincn. Use one tea
spoonful of Borax to one quart of boil
ing starch; it will improve the stiffen
ing and gloss.
Cleaning Wall Paper, To clean
wall-paper, take about two quarts of
wheat bran, tie it in a bundle of coarse
flannel, and mb it over the paper. It
will clean the papor nicely.
Boiled Eggs..--To boil rggs and have
the yellow cooked and the white not too
hard, put them on in a basin of hot
water and let them stand ten to fifteen
minutes on the stove. This method of
cooking eggs gives the very least trouble
of all. .
To Wash Navy-Blue Woolen STOck
ings. Set the color before washingby
soaking ten minutes in a pail of cold
water containing one teaspoonful of
sugar of lead; then wash in water made
soft by borax; use no soap for the first
time, "and very little at any time; it
hardens the woo?.
Cure for Hoarseness. Spikenard
root, sliced and bruised, and then
steeped in a teapot containing equal
parts of water and spirits, and the va
por inhaled, when sufficiently cooled,
will relieve the soreness and hoarseness
of the throat or lungs, when arising
from a cough or cold.
English Bread Sauce. Cut some
light bread in small pieces; boil suffi
cient milk with a good -sized onion in it:
thoroughly soak it; inix and let stand
awhile, then boil and add butter, pep
per, and salt and a few black pepper
corns; take out the onions before serv
ing. Ego or Butter Gravy. Put into a
tin dish one-fourth of a cup of butter
and a large tablespoonfnl of flour. Set
on the stove and a3 the butter melts
stir in the flonr until smooth or free
from lumps; then pour on nearly a pint
of boiling water. Slice into the gravy
bowl two hard boiled eggs, pour the
gravy on them and serve, oait ana
pepper.
English Plum Pudding. One bowl
ful suet, two bowlsful bread crumbs,
one bowlful of raisins measured after
having been chopped fine seeded; half
a bowlful citron, cut in small pieces;
six eggs, two large wineglassfuls brandy;
two nutmegs; boil four hours and serve
with wine suuee. It i3 better to boil
two hours on one day, and the remain
ing time the day on which it is to be
eaten. This receipt has been used in
our family for twenty -five years.
White Mountain Cake. Use 1 cup
ful of butter, 2 of sugar, 3 of flour,
with 2 teaspoonsful of baking powder
and a little salt, 1 cupful of milk, and
the whites of S well beaten eggs; bake
in layers of different sizes, decreasing
in size as it is built up. Icing Use 2
cupf uls white sugar, with just enough
water to moisten; boil ton. thick syrup,
pour boiling hot on tho white of 2 well
bealen eggs; add Y teaspoonful citrio
acid, and stir until cold; flavor to taste
and ice on top.
A Pretty Vase. A cheap vase for
autumn leaves or crystalized grasses
may be made as follows: Take apiece of
pasteboard five inches wide; wet and
press it around the sides of a tumbler
so the ends will just meet nicely; tie a
thread around each end, and when dry
fit in a bottom, and cover with a tinfoi
or some kind of fancy jjaper. If it is
not sufficiently stiff, press a layer of
putty around the inside.

Make a linen bag large enough to hold
a quart of bran ; put in a vessel and pour
two quarts of boiling water on it; let it
stand all day, and at night on going to
bed take the bag out and wash tho face
with the bran water; in the morning
wash it off entirelv with distilled rain
water. In a very short time, it wil
make a coarse skin feel like velvet.
Eye-Glass Wiper, A useful, little
piece of fancy work is a wqer for spec
tacles. Cut two pieces of velvet about
the size and shape of the glasses, and
line each piece with doeskin or wash
leather (such as is used by jewelers),
binding them together around the edge
with narrow ribbon. Join . tho two
pieces with a bow of ribbon. Grand
mama will tell you they are very con
venient polishers.
Tart Urust. lhe white ot an egg
beaten to a stiff froth, one tablespoon
of white sugsr, one cup of lard, a little
salt, five tablespoons of water; roll quite
thin for tarts; cut out with a cookv cut
ter a scolloped one will look best;
take an open-top thimble, make five
holes in one, lay on a whole one, which
makes one tart: proceed wilh all the
dough in tho same way; bake lightly,
when done split open the tart and lay a
slice of nice jell between the layers;
squeeze up the jell through the holes;
place them on the table rn a plate and
you have a splendid looking dish for
the tea-table, and something that will
last two months. Do not put your jell
iu till you wish them for the table.
A writer who says that one good cow
gives all the milk that was needed in a
family of eight persons, and from which
cow was made 260 pounds of butter last
year, gives the following as his treat
ment: "If you desire to get a large
yield of rich milk, give your cow every
day water slightly warm and slightly
salted, in which bran has been stirred
at the rate of one quart to two gallons
of water. Y'ou will find, if you have
not tried this daily practice, that your
cow will give 23 per cent more immedi
ately under the effects of it, and she
will become so attached to it that she
will refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty; but this mess she will
drink most any time and ask for more.
The amount of the drink necessary is

Removing Stumps. It is said the
easiest way to get rid of stumps ia to
bore a hole in the top, say one or two
inches in diameter, and eighteen inches
deep. Put in the hole from one to two
ounces of saltpetre, fill the hole with
water, and plug up tight. In the spring
take out the plug, pour in a half gill of
kerosene oil, and Bet fire to it. The
stump will burn entirely up, even to
the smallest rootf .
Hex Manure. In the hen-house, un
der the roost, there is a tight floor, and
over this floor I spread dry, fine earth
or muck, and occasionally as the manure
accumulates, more earth is spread over
it. My practice is to clean out in spring
and fall, and by having a supply of dirt
to use when wanted, I manufacture and
save, with very little labor or expense,
a very valuable fertilizer.
The truths that we least wish to hear
are those which it is most to our advan
tage to know.

The Parent of Insomnia.
The parent of insomnia or wakefulness if in
nine caes out of ten a dyspeptic stomach, yooa
digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion inter
feres with it. The brain and and stomach sym
pathize. One of the prominent symptoms of a
weak state of the gastric organs is a disturbance
of the great nerve entrepot, the brain. Invig
orate the stomach, and you restore equilibrium
to the great centre. A most reliable medicine
for the purpose is llostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is far oreferable to mineral aedativea and
powerful narcotics which, though they may for
a time exert a soporific influence upon the brain,
soon cease to act, and invariaLly injure the tone
of the stomach. The Bitters, ou tne coutrary,
restore activity to the operations of that all im
portant organ, and their benincent influence is
reflected in sound sleep and a tranquil state of
the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is
likewise given to the action of the liver and
bowels bv its use.
Stop that C'lMijfli,
or it will terminate in that dreadful disease,
consumption. We are aware that a predjudice
exists among many persons against medicines
which profess to cure a cough or cold when bor
dering on consumption, or even when the lungs
are affected, but we can assure nur readers that
Wistab's Balsam of Wild Chebky will do all
this; and in making this assertion we speak from
experience, having suffered lor months from a
cough, which after using many remedies with
out any relief, threatened to wi inmate serious
ly. We were, however, so fortunate as to se
cure several bottles' of Wistah's Balsam of
Wild Chebby, and are now entirely rid of tho
coiie-h. and restored to our former health. To
those suffering in a like manner we would rt
ommeud this excellent reparation.

Having used your "Common-Sense Truss" in my
practice for over ten years, having known of its
adoption by tbe Board of Surgeons of the t'nited
states Army, of its baving received the highest
award at the American CentennUI .Exhibition, of its
adoption and use by several of the Koyal Families
of Kurope, and having examined almost. every de
vice of the kind, I feel at liberty to say that its pivot
and ball and socket joints, set screws, correct re
taining force, superior workmanship, etc., are all a
competent surgeon could wish, and it Is worthy the
term " Common-Sense Truss."
