No Difference,
The janitor of a small church on the
South Side of New York., raises a kw
chickens in a small inclosuro in his
back yard. The eggs of these he sells`.
to some members of the church.
Last Saturday one of his customers
naked him if he could spare a dozen eggs
Within tho'next two or three days.
"01,, 400, ma'am," replied the janitor.
"111 bring yet a dozen fresh 0008 to-
morrow meriting."
"Oh, no, protested the houlowife; "I
shouldiv't wont 4021 to bring them on
Stmda4—not on Sunday, JOhn."
"Well, " replied John, all right, inn'•
an, if you say so, but it oh,n'I: make
00 difference to the hens."
Lest Wicks Smoke.
To prevent wicks front smoking when
first lit, it is a good plan to boil them
before they are used, several being treat-
ed at once, so as to save firing. To do
this, an old enamel -lined saucepan should
bo half-filled with vinegar and the wicks
laid at the bottom. When the vinegar
has boiled up once the saucepan should
be kept at the side of the stove for two
or three hours, when the wicks must be
drained and hung' up to dry,
