All we ask is an inspection and the prices will astonish you. ate FOR THE GENTLEMEN: all-wool plaid suits, blue cheviots, black cheviots, all‘wool brown mixed You require a cook for your mutton and beef ; I require a far better thing ; A seamstless you’re wanting for stock- ings and shirts. I look for a man and king. A king for a. beautiful realm called |. home, And a man that the Maker, God, Shall look upon as he did the first And say, “It is very good.” I am fair and young, but the rose will fade From my soft young cheek one day ; Will you love me then, ’mid the falling leaves. As you did ’mid the bloom of May ? Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep I may launch my all.on its tide? A loving woman finds heaven or hell On the day she is made a bride. I require all things that are grand and true, All things that a man should be ; If you give this all, I would make my life - To be all you demand of me. If you cannot be this—a laundress and cook, You can hire with lictle to pay ; But a woman’s heart and a woman’s life Are not to be won that way. i: ee ‘Whichard Items. Waren, N. C, May 19, 1896.

If your house has six rooms, each room will get a good cleaning every six weeks; if they are ten, and you are re- stricted in help, they will get over- but in either case there will be no do- mestic revolution, no complete upheav- ul of the lares and penates. It is very much better for the furni- ture, etc., to be treated systematically all the year round in this fashion. Lin- oleum oil and floor cloth, washed and polished in the same way as stained floors, only with a thinner preparation, | will look better and last much longer than if merely: washed in a slovenly manner for six months, and then elab- orately scrubbed or otherwise treated with drastic remedies to remove stains and marks which have been allowed to eat into the material until it be- comes a difficulty toremove them. The game remark naturally applies to pol- ishing. A little done every week keeps the furniture in much better condition than spasmodic operations; it can be performed with such a variety of prep- arations that the difficulty lies in the choosing. One of the most satisfactory polishes, is also the simplest—namely, a mixture of linseed oil and vinegar, kept in a well-corked bottle and shaken before use; the furniture must be dusted first; then the mixture can. be applied over a small surface, polishing quickly with old silk rags. This some- what primitive but efficacious com- pound has a double advantage; it does not form a cake over the wood, even ‘produces cracks) and the combined oil end vinegar removes many stains and frease marks ordinary | dishes do not, tgnch. Mirrors and. glasses should be cleaned as a ae thing every time a room is done; noth- ing looks so bad as.a stained surface to a glass of any description, and a little spitits of wine judiciously applied with a soft rag will remove the most obsti-' nate marks; picture frames and books, ‘too, should be well dusted, and the cup- clean: paper,—Chicago Inter Ocean, Pathos ia Congress, | * titiéntal’ mémber of the house from the wickedness of the world, and was pathetic over pensions, gave utterance to this burst of cloquence when the pen- ‘Sion appropriation bill was under con- ‘sideration by the house: “Why did he weep?., Whity did he weep?
