THE BRUSSELS PAST
A. 0. U.
Tuesday of last week was the
twenty-second anniversary of the
organization of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen, an association
which has made such rapid strides
during the past ten years in Outario
as to command attention, 'Vile eo•
oiety was organized in an unpreten•
tious way by Father Upchurch at
Moadeville, Penn., who died but two
years ago. The object when found.
ing the order was to assist each
other as workingmen in the railway
shops et.lYleadevilie, keeping e9pee-
ially iu view the assisting of ap•
prontioea, "whose lot was not a
happy ono" in thoee days. A club
was organized with a membership
of but 18 ; regular meetings were
held, and au endeavor made to im-
prove the position of the members,
both mentally and in a financial
sense. Matters continued in this
way until sickness occurred in the
family of one of the members, and
then the idea of assisting In a finan-
cial way those who belonged to the
club was conceived. After a time
death broke into the ranks, and then
it was decided that in future each
surviving member should pay a oar•
tain amount to the family of the de-
parted brother. In tine small way,
but with a membership of 18, the
society began its career, and after
22 years of continued success totals
up a membership of 280,000, scat
tered over the United Statos and
Canada.
A separate jurisdiction was estab•
lished in Ontario in 1878, the mem•
bership in this province at that time
being but 2,000. Since then the
increase has been steady end rapid,
until today there are 840 lodges in
the jurisdiction, with a membership
of 21,082. There is scarcely a vil-
lage in the Province that baa not a
lodge of Workmen.
MENS OF THOUGHT.
Take things as they are and make
the best of them.
It coats more to revenge injuries
than to bear them.
Each day is a little life ; our life
is but a day repeated.
There is no surer way of having
everybody's help than by trying to
help everybody.
Happiness is to the heart what
sunlight is to the hotly, and he who
shute out either is an enemy to so-
ciety.
Stupidity is to the mind what
clumsiness is to the body. It ex-
hibits just the same fatal poster of
mischief in its own way.
Life is too short to be wasted in
petty worries, frettings, hatreds and
vexations. Let us banish all these,
and think on whatsoever things are
pure and lovely and gentle and of
good report.
However good you may be, you
have faults ; however dull you may
be, you can 'find out what some of
them are ; and, however slight they
may be, you had better make some
patient efforts to get quit of them.
Evils in the journey of life are
like the bills which alarm travellers
upon their •road ; they both appear
great at a distance, but when we
approach them we find that they
are far lees insurmountable than we
had imagined.
Ability is often reinforoed by ne-
ceaeity. IIe that will not suffer
himself to ile discouraged by fancied
impossibilities may sometimes find
his abilities invigorated by the ne-
ceseity of exerting them at short in-
tervals, as the force of a current is
increased by the contraction of its
channel.
It is a great mistake to suppose
that the best work of the world is
done by people of great strength
and great opportunities. It is un-
questionably an advantage to have
both these things, but neither of
them is a necessity to the man who
has the spirit and the pluck to ac-
hieve great results. Some of the
greatest work of our time has been
done by men of physical feebleness.

HINTS 'VO 11011sEICLL'Pli1tN.
To cure and heal a running sore,
apply alum water twice a day.
Oeilinge that have been smoked
with a koroeene lamp should be
washed off with soda water.
An excellent furniture polish is
of equal parts of shellac varnish,
linseed oil and spirits of wine.
Por a sold or burn, apply im•
mediately pulverized 'charcoal • and
oil. Lamp oil will do but linseed ie
better.
The taste of fish may be removed
very effectually from steel 'knives
and forks by rubbing them with
fresh orange or lemon peel.
To nurse a child every time it
arias is the best way to give it i ndi-
gestion, and insure it to have all
the evils of a deranged stomach and
bowels.
A sure and safe way to remove
greaoe spots from silk is to rub the
spot quickly with brown paper.
The friction will soon draw out the
grease.
A very good glue may be made
by dissolving the gum to be found
on cherry trees, in water. If water
is kept on it all the time, it will al-
ways be in readiness for use.
Wheat ground in a coffee -mill

the top and go straight down.
Excessive perspiration may be re-
lieved by bathing twice a day those
parts of the body where the per-
spiration is most profuse, then
rubbing well with alcohol, and then
dry dustiug with baby powder.
To remove oil stains frond carpets
scatter dry tarn -meal upon the
stain. The meal will absorb the
oil. The application of a hot iron
through a heavy sheet of blotting
paper will have a similar effect.
When the braes on a lamp gats
dark colored, wash the braes clean
and put on the stove to dry, while
hot lint on a mixture of salt and
vinegar, and rub with a flannel
cloth. They will look nearly as
good as new.
Thick brown paper should be laid
under carpets, if the patent lining
is not to be had. It saves wear and
prevents the inroads of moths,
which, however, will seldom give
trouble if salt is sprinkled around
the edges when the carpet is laid.
For dyspepsia pour one quart of
cold water on two tablespoonfuls of
unslaked lime ; let strand a few

ings of a human being.
Never talk or laugh aloud in pub.
lie places or upon the street.
Never forget that vulgarity has
its origin in ignorance or selfish•
nese.
Never urge another to do any-
thing against his desire unless you
see danger before him.
Never ask another to do what you
would not be glad to do under Bird -
lar circumstances.
Never omit to perform a kind not
when' it can be done' with any res-
sonable amount of exertion.
Never needlessly wound the van -
ftp of another or' dilate unnecesear•
ily upon disagreeable subjects.
Do not make witticism at the ex-
pense of others which you would not
wish to have made upon yourselves.
Remember that good manners are
thoughts filled with kindness and
refinement, and then translated into
behavior.
Be not ostentatious in dress and
deportment ; nothing can be more
vulgar. See that costumes fit the
time and occasions.
Be rude to none; rudeness harms
not only the humblest and poorest
to whom it is directed, but it injures
the exhibitors.
Never treat superiors with servil-
ity or inferiors with arrogance.
Speak as kindly to a day laborer as
to one occupying a high position.
Always give precedence to elders
vieitore and superiors. Offer them
the best Beat at the table, the best
place by the fire and the first of
everything. Go farther than mere
form and see that they are comfort-
able and happy.

The men at the Stratford Grand

able dissatisfaction was felt last

only 44a hours a week as compared
with 54 formerly.
