The Cost of keeping one's clothing in
good order is trifling, either in time or
money: To have a tailor examine them
occasii!nally and put them in order is
the bet and most prudent course. It is
a considerable saving in the end. In
selecting a tailor for this purpose, one
should be chosen who makes the rano-
)Tatiug:: and repairing of clothing a
speoiOty, otherwise the charges will be
unrealonably high.

feasible to build a cistern or reservoir in

In its place must be substituted the

On being freed from the pipe it is .

Straw, sawdust and other refuse pass
through. Two of these spreaders are

A Plea for Guinea Fowl -4- They Are
Gentle mad Affeetionale Creatures.
Vlore i9 ne prettier bird to have on the
farm than the guinea fowl, and its
cheerful cry4 -buckwheat" or "come
back" has pit new hope and courage
into many a farm occupant's heart. 1 And
then the guinea fowl whIn tamed can
be the most gentiS and affectionate of
creatures. 'Lich love has been display-
ed by guiue ,s toward the animals by
which they were surrounded. On a
certain farm, , three guinease roosted
nightly upon the toproost'brauches of a
pear tree, and ehere, seemed to be a per-
fect understanding. ,between them • and
the house -dog, for they acted as senti-
nels, and the dog only waited for them
t ) give'the faintest.notes of alarm when
lie would go off inte a perfect furore of
harks—enough to ' arouse the whole
neighborhood. The dog has wagged his'
tail aud looked up to his wise friends in ..
the moonlight as if expecting a word of 1
approval for obeying their orders. But
the greatest story is that a certain guinea
called out "Come !back" so effectively
that the house -dog obeyed.
The egg of the guinea, fowl is speckled •
and smaller than a commou fowl's, but
is more delicious , in taste and much
more easily preserved, since the shell is
so hard. The flesh of this fowl is dark,
hitt good for iood. However, since
reading the pretty legend connected.with
them, I believe 1 ,.could never bear to
taste of one again. ,
MELEAGIUS'S SISTERS.
This bird is a native of Africa and
was called by theilancients Meleagaif, be-
cause the sisters of Ideleagris, through
some enchantment, were turned into
guineas or birds whose feathers were
sprinkled with the tears they shed at his
death. Thus the myth accounts for
their being speckled, and that the en-
chantment was ,not quite complete as
the two Words "Come back" they are
still echoing after the dear brother they
loved so well.
Sometimes a guinea or two will dis-
appear from a flock and no one knows
what has become of him. The truth is
that guineas go in pairs, and so, when
there are more males than females, the
odd ones fly off hunting up mates,
sometimes such a long distance that
they never return' to their old haunts
again.
They are very shy in laying their
eggs, it being alrnOst, impossible to trace
them to their nests. They will stick up
their tiny heads upon the faintest sound,
and if they see a person at ever so long

FOUND AMONG SOME OLD MANUSCRIPTS BY A
REBIDENT OF CONSTANCE.
Fair Western Town, 'neath yonder beam,
With sunset glow that lights the sky,
Like placid beauty in a dream
Thy shimmering panes and steeples lie.
Around thy form—a raiment lair—
d
A wealth of fields and woodlands sweep
With dream and upland mantling there,
And orchards smiling o'er thy sleep.
But few brief years have flown away,
Since other sights thy meads beheld;
Since 'neath this gleam el dying day,
Each dusky tribe its orgies held.
In each lone grove, now thiok'ning green.
The deedly dance leas whirled its round
Idayhap the child the fight hash seen,
From yonder copse by summer crown'd.
But now the warriors all are gone.
For other cares tby sons employ,
No more the captive's dying groan
Shall make the forman's fiendish joy.
o more shall dundeekbound alone
Through olust'ring skade and flow'ry vale,
No more the leafy bowers among
Shall sighing love lisp forth his tale.
But far and wide to -night there swells
A softenf:d musio in the air,
A mingled mingling tone that tells
Of labour, hepe, and comfort there.
Those notes that breathe of hardships put,
Of peace and independence won,
As SCRS, the raging tempest past,
Still murmer 'neath the cheerful sun.
Fair town still nurse thy Graham's flame
Enkindled at the Heavenly shrine,
Still guard thy noble Campbell's fame,
Tho light, the hope of truth Divine,
Or muse o'er cabal McDonald's strain,
To eloquenciand mum dear;
Or ten fold gather in again,
What generous Murphy scatters hire.
Glad happy hewers, contentment's home,
Proud merit's stage and honor's shrine,
Where beauty, wit and talent come,
And all the social joys refine,
Long, long thy merry hearths around
May gentle peace her joys distil,
Long wholesome mirth like this resound,
From waving tied and musing kill.

"Caroline,' observed Mr. Smiley as be
ewatched his wife whisking the dust out of
the corners, "why don't you get a good
'sweeper ? I saw one down town that I
admired very much."
"Oh, did you ?"
"Yes, and I tell you that sweeper
wouldn't raise a mite of dust in the house."
"Oh, you think so, do you I Bu ti I
would—yes, sir 1 You bring a sweeper ifito
this house, and you'll- see the dust I'll
raise!"
"All right, I'll try one. There's' a beauty
down at—
" Oh, go on, go on. Insult me ell you
want to. I'm only your lawful Wife. But
you bring your beauty up here, and let me
get a hand at her. I'll pull every hair in
her head out so I will. I'll—"
, " Good gracious, Caroline, it ain't a girl;
It's .a carpet stveeper I mean, one math a
long handle---"
" Why didn't you say so ? As if I oared
anyway if it Was a girl. If there is one
thing 'lithe world j hate more than another
it's a it alous woman !"
" Dd 'tno," sighed Mr, Smiley.

Where, the Russet Is Unknown.
Quite a swell young 'Detroiter, who had
made a trip into the remote sections of the
south, was telling his experience.
"At one plitee in the: country," he said,
"1 came into la small town in a hack a
dozen miles hewn the railroad over a clay
road that waS as slick us soap, a big rain
having soaked it thoroughly. I appeared
on the hotel poroh sotne time after my • ar-
rival in a fresh snit and a pair of bright rus-
set, shoes, and sat down to enjoy a rest
after my ride. 1 Pretty Bootee couple of bare
footed boys erre by and attracted their at-
tention.
" Hi there,1Billie," said one, "get on to
the man in the store olo's."
" An look at them feet," suggested Bil-
lie, not at all abashed by the feet that I was
hearing all them talk.
"1 say," eXclaimed the firet one, getting
around where he could see better. "Golly,
but they need blackening, don't they ?"
"They made a few more comments, but
their curiosity was not satisfied, and finally
Billie came ulp to the porch where 1 was.
" Say, mister," he inquired, looking at
my shoes and then out at the yellovr clar
road "did you walk up from the railroad ?'

Acquiring anEducation.,
Sir Water Scott, has said: " The best
part of every man's education is that which
1K-6 gives to hiuiself." Gibbon voices the
same, sentiment when he says : "Every per-
son, has ;two educations, one which he re-
ceives item °theta and one, more important,
which he gives tp himself." The education
received at college or university is but a
beginning, and is intended mainly to train
the mind and habituate it te continuous ap-
plication and study. That which is put
Into us by otheri is always far less oar own
than that whiph we acquire by our own
diligent and pertistent study. Our own ac-
tive effort therefore is the essential thing,
and no facilities n� books, no teachers and
no amount of stereotyped lessons learned by
a fixed.rule, will enable us to dispense with
it. For that which costs u nothing is
' Temperance.
Paris has 27,000 drinking places,
The United States had 25`brewery exhib-
its at the World's Fair.
The total amount of British capital in-
vested in American breweries, June let,
1893, was $91,202,830.
Brattleboro, Vermont, has no saloon and
during the entire year of 1892 had but
twelve arrests for all causes.
The United Kingdom Band of Hope
union has 17,183 auxiliary Bands of Hope
with a tcital membership of 2,471,407

The aunnal return made to Parliament by
the inland tevenue officer for the year end-
ing September 201h, 1892, showed 10,635
licensed breweries in Great Britain.

Froggy.
A remarkable thing ebout frogs is that
the larger part of their breathing is done
through the skin. In fact, it is said that
this supplY of air is a necessary addition to
that taken in by ordinary breathing, as the
latter does not supply suffident air to sup-
port life in a frog. Another peculiar thing
about the skin of a frog is its powerful ab-
sorption ef water. This is due, of course,
to the numberless minute pores with 'which
their side is provided. It has been proved
that s. frog can thus soak up half its weight
of water in an hour. • The soaking of water
is what gives the frog's skin such a cold,
olammy and uncanny feeling when handled,
and it explains a strange thing. Though a
bullfrog [were poked with a red hot iron, it
would not feel it enough to move out of its
tracks, fiat the moisture on the skin forms a
kind of film of vapor between it and the
iron, which it takes time to hest through,
and so the frog would not feel pain from the
heat.
