ICbr'.stJan RegUter.J "Susie!" called Mrs. Copeland from the side doer. Ensie was having the nicest kind of a time, ; ?a j ing in the shaded street with a number i f her girl friends. So no wonder her voice fits tiirle impatient aa she responded: Yes, mammal" "It'stiire to set the table." "Oh dear," sighed Susie. "Good-by, girls! I've ROt to go in." "Ob, dear," ga:n sighed Susie, flinging the table-cloth across the table, and setting the plates stood d noisily and not Yery regu larly. "I wish there was no such thing in tie world as setting the table, or else I wi3h that we were rich enough to keep a servant Now, there's Jessie Ramsda'e, she doesn't have a thing to do. She can lie in bed in the rcomiE until it is almost tine for school, and the never has to be called in from her flay to wash dishes or set the table." "Do you think yon would be happier if yoa bad no home duties to perform?" a ked Mrs. Co p'and. "Happ'er?'' echoed Sa3ie. "I should lite to try it for iust one day! Dear me! thera'a sot enough Latter np hero tor sapper, and I rar pose Iv'e got to so down ia that dark old cellar for moie." She snatched a knife from the tray, opened tbe cellar door with a bang, and clatteied nc'sily down the stairs. "When she returned with, tbe replenished plate, ber mother said: "Straighten the cloth, ray dear, and place the dishes mere regularly. Now run out in the garden, and fret a few flowers for the table, so that it will lock inviting to your papa and Tibbie. "When you come in, I have saniethins to tell yon." This caused Susie to pat some life in her movement, and she hurried from the garden to bear what her mother had to tell. "So yon think you would enjoy hartes; nothing to do for a whole day? ' aeked Mrs. CcpelaBd. "I guess I would P "Well, to-morrow ia Saturday. As there la no school, you can have the day for yoar elf." "O mamma, to do just as I like, and net iaye a siegle, solitary thing to do!" asked gntle, eagerly. "Jctt as joa like. Yoa needn't get up Ii you don't want to." "Oh. goody, Roody !' cried Susie. "A whole 3ay to do nothing in, and. Saturday espe cially." For Saturday was always a busy day in the Copeland family, and Susie was called open to wash dishes, stone raisins, beat eggs, and do the many other little things by which children can save their tired mothers much labor. II er last vakmg thought that night was the pleasant one of her coming leisure dayt and wten she heard the ringing of the rising bell the next morning she turned lazily on tcr pillow and said: "Ihank goodness! that's not for me," When tbe at last made her appearance down stairs it was nearly 10 o'clock. The table was still set, and her breakfast was on the 5tove hearth. "Well, lady Susie," 6mildher mother, who looked flushed with her hard morning's work, "will you take your breakfast nw?" "Yes'm," replied Susie, preparing to carry her food into the dining room. Bnt her mother took the dishes from her hand, Eayiag: "I will wait on you, Yoa are to do nothing to-day, you know." Sc&ie looked rather shame-laced, but she took her seat at the table and tried to enjoy her breakfast. It was hard work, however. Ehe mksed the cheerful talk of the family table, and her solitary grandeur did not add to her appetite. She dawdled about the house and garden until the early dinner, after which Bhe went to her room and arrayed herself in her very best dress, for she thought, as she tied her sash and fastened her bracelets: "If I'm to be a lady I must drees like one. Bat how funny it seems to have these clothes on at hornet I wonder if I dare put on my locket. Of course mamma said I was to de josi as I liked." ha took from her box a locket which had been sent her by her godmother, and which ah was seldom allowed to wear, for Mrs. Copeland thought it too fine for her station in life. Now, however, he fastened it about her neck and felt indeed that she was a lady. Ehe minced down the front stairs and entered the parlor in her moet graceful man ner. Opening the shutters of the bay win dow, ce sank into an easy chair, arranging her i u filed skirts caret all v about ner. crossed her slippered feet npon a hassock: , took a caccfODcely bound book in one hand and Ihi ptjjer fall gracefalJy over tie uxo fil 'the chair. "This la ever ao much better than washing dishes or sewing over and oyer," she thought complacently. "I wish some one would o by and see me some of tbe girls. My! wouldn't they be astonished! I wonder how I look!" 8he twisted herself round so as t) catch a partial glimpse of herself in the mirror, and practiced all manner of attitudes en til she noticed tnree or lour of, herein friends approaching. She quickly assumed a graceful position, put up her hand to see that her locket hunz rieht, and was Intent on her book when they halted beneath the wir do w. tr.11 Co?1 ..n,i iriifirv AllVl V.IIW - I Susie languidly looked up and bowed politely.

"What are von all dressed up for?" asked VsarleBird. Oh, Bothing." said Susie. ' Tbe girl exchanged looks of suspicion, ' wirr-eied toa-ihrt torn one said alood: 'usiCpfiaad,yoo'rf fofne to taia a party, we know I And you're joat as mean as yon can be sot to nik us!" in vain Snaie protested that snch was not the cace. They knew better. What else wa f he bo dressed up fox ? And with her locket especially. Bo they went off rrad, saying, "she'd ba serry when they had company without in vitiDg her," lea? ids Susie rather, disturbed in mind. Sitting there was no auch great fan after all; and when Bhe heard the clock strike live, she yawned and said: "What a loog day this has been!" But she must qet as much as possible out of it; so she read and plated a little ou the piano, looked oyer the photographs in the a. bum, and tiied to make the time pus in !aiyl;ke parsuits. She turned her head and listened as she heard her mother preparing to get supper; and, as a tired Bigh reached her ear, she sprang from her chair, rushed up stairs, puüed oirher finery, pat on a common dress, buttoned it as she rati down stairs, and inter cepted Mrs. Ccpeland jc6t as she wa3 enter ing tbe dining room with the tablecloth in her hand. "Give that to me, mamma," she cried. "I'm tired cf being a lady. Now, you try it for awile, and let me wait on you." She teated her mother in the rucking chair, pressed a quick kWs upon her cheek, acd was rejoiced to see a sweet smile take tbe place of the weary look on her dear face. "'o more Iersure days for me," she cried. hestenirg about her work. And she was a pleasant stirbt, I assure yon, as she stepped lightly ironi the pantry to the taole, her tuy bancs smoothing every fold in tbe cloth, arranging the dishes in perfect order, and crowning;the board with a huge bouquet, while ner sweet voice rang out with a merry sorg: "Ab, trirls.

Short Talks With the Boys. fM. Qnad la Detroit Free Tress. "It being a rainy morning, with the pros pect of a drizzling, tedious day, let's get the tools out and hunt around the house for odd obs. Here is a pane of glass broken in the kitchen window, and the putty is so old and hard that it will be a hard iob to dig it out. If we had thought of it last night and applied kerosene oil the putty would have coice away easily enough, bates we didn't et s Try another plan, neat that iron poker red hot and pass it over the putty a few tin.es. Now take that inch chis9l and you srring it away in pieces two inches loog. hen the new pane has been luted in drive IE " "Three or four tacks." "Ah! you botch; you want zinc point?." 'Bat I haven't any." "Ah. well. Take down those tinner's shears and find an old oyster can. The tin isn't heavy ctoh, but we'll drive in eight points instead of four and make 'em do. Hold the pane tight as you drive 'em in, for if left any pi v it will throw tbe putty od. Where's the putty?" -Here it is, but it s as hard as a rock." "Weil, eo.'ten it." "How with water?'' "Juet like yoa! Tour a few drops of lin seed oil on the ball and break it npand work it in jour bands until tLere are no lumps left. When ready to U9e, begin at the cor ner of tbe pace, and it the putty won't em oth down easily wet the blade of your petty knile now and then. Yon may never be a glazier, bnt a boy sixteen years of age who can not make a passable of rep'ac- in? a broken pane after on-. -t . o trials ,s a poor head on hi3 shoulders." What nest? Whv that knob on the cellar door is loose. The little screw which heid or e of tbe knobs to the iron shack parsing through the door worked loose and is lo3t Carrv the knob and shank to the locksmith and he will make a new screw, bat we ar9 to do our own work. Cut that lead fish line sinker in two and thenjplace it on the anvil and pound it out until it is about the siz of a lead pencil. ow cut it to half an inch in length, sharpen to the point a bit, and diive it in where the screw should go. When it is "home" a few taps of the hammer will make a head, and the job is done. It is rather botchy, but as this knob ia on the cellar side of the door it will pass. Here's one of the lower roun J3 out of a kitchen chair. Bring the glue-pot, and while the contents are heating let's scrape the end of the round with a knife, taking all the old glue on and making a new surface. If it lita loosely into the leg, wind a bit of cotton around it. Half a teaspoonful of hot clue and a few taps will make that round stick to its place until the chair is worn out. Here's a caster ou tho refrigerator. and to make the box stand solid the cook has propped it np with a piece of board. Remove the contents and lay the box on its back and ycu will see that a sudden wrench tore one ol the screws out of the wood and the others soon worked loose. The plate of tbe caster has three holes for screws. The old holes being torn out all you have to do is to give the plate a halt turn and make new ones with your gimlet Don't bore too deep, but plan to force two-thirds of the screw - in with the screw driver. Five minutes' time will replace the caster in a solid manner and save the call from a carpenter and a bill of nuty cents, iet the matter go and the cas ter ia kicked about and lost, and some day the box takes a lurch and mixes milk, bat ter, meat, sauce and other articles into hash. Here in this corner of the room, the paper baBger, who was woikingbv the roll,playel a very common trick. Ills laat-lapcame within six inches of the corner. Instead of cutting the next length six inches wide, he matches with a full width piece and lets it pass the corner and continue on the next wall. He knew that inside of a year the poper would draw away from that corner and pucker all out of shape, bnt it was the easiest and quickeot way. Here it is, fall of wrinkles ana standing out from the wall an inch or more. If your pocket knife is sharp begin at tbe ceiling and cut the paper all tbe way to the base board. A cup of hour will make the paste, and you must add a little clue to be sure that it will stick. Ilun your past brush along the wall first, and then turn the loose paper back and put on your pasta. A common brojh-broom should be used to smooth the paper to the wall. If you take fifteen minutes for the job you can make a neat thing of it. Here's a door which sticks and bothers S3 you open It. The tiouble is at the top. The dcor opened easily enough at one time, bnt this portion has settled a trifle and the top eating binds the door. It isn't sixty second a' work to drive out the bolts in the patent hirges and take olTtbe door. Your smooth ing plane will take oif plenty enough to rem edy the difficulty, and in ten miaut 3 from your first move the door is bc!s in its place, and there may be no farther trouble for a dczeb years. Here's a gas burner, which yielded only a dim light last night Run the edge of a thin cord through tie orifice at the tip and yon may remedy it. If that doesn't help thq matter, take, fifty-cent pair of gi2-plnch-ers and, jafa remove the burner. They are made in two pieces. Catch bold below the well if you want to remove one entirely from tbe fixtures, 7hat! Turning to the leit! That's the way to tum off a nut or re move the screw, but ninety per cent, of the gaa fixtures are made with the thread cat tbe other way. Turn to the right to take off ice ourner. me upper nan can be screwed off with your fingers, and now you see what regulates tbe flow of gas. It ia a little cp screwing down over three slots or slits. You can lower thecaD until no paa at all ran come through or you can raise It until your burner when lighted, will blow like eteam- i i-it ww8aau 01 poor quality those slots fill up. Place the burner to your rn on in ana you can blow it clear. Foar or five minutes is enoueh for the iob. bat if you send for the plumber be would charge juu more Liinu u pineheri cost. ow let's see what we can do with eight cectir' worth of plaster of Paris. Get an old howl to mix it 1 n, and b careful to mix only what yvn want it thf tle, as if hardtsa verv rapidly. Here are three or four holos in the white wall where nails have been driven in or pulled out. Every jar is shak ing out a little fine plaster on the carpet. A7e can fill them in no time with this prepara tion, and it dries bard and smooth. The marble slab on the back of the washstand is loose. 8crape it with a knife to clear away any old plaster and coat the edge with new. Hold the slab fixmly down with one hand and strengthen your work by filling the crevice between the two pieces on fie back side. Five minutes' time and two csnts worth of material will make a job as solid as a rock. This same plaster of paris can be used to cement broken flower pots, till holes overlooked by the painter, joints about tne mantel, cracks in marble or stone hearths, and if tb plaster has cracked anywhere along the base boards joa can fill the places and make a neat job ot it.

In his venomous serenade speech Mr. Blaine says: "The colored population, almost to a man, desire to support the Re publican party, but by a eyitem of cruel in timidation and by violence and murder, whenever violence and murder are thought necessary, they are absolutely deprived of all political powsr." By what means did Mr, Blatne ascertain that six millions of negroes scattered through sixteen States "almost to a man desire to support the Republican party?" The asser tion is a silly falsehood on its face. What evidence has Mr. Blaine to sustain the charge, infamous if unfounded, that "violence and murder" prevail as a system in sixteen States of the Union, whenever they are thought necessary f We ppeal from the passion of a disap pointed candidate to tbe calm rood sense of an honest people. Do tbe Intelligent citizens of any State in the Union believe auch pa? tlaan balderdash? ' Do the great business elements of the country approve a pol ley which seek to drat? sectional lines ai they - were drams before (he wax? D our naa efer and commercial men really beheve thit the Southern States are thus revolutionary tod criminal? The evils of sectional jealousy and hale have been brought home to us by a terrible war.

So Henry C. C. Atwood, a Prominent South ern Colored Republican, Says of niaiue's Charge of Kace Intimtdation. IWgihisgton Special Courler-Jourai'J. Henry C. C. Atwood, United State.! Consul to Ban Domingo, a colored Kpablira poli tician of Louisiana, one of Kellog't work ers, is at the Ebbitt Honse. He talks freely of the condition of the colored people in the South. He says he took the stnnap and spent money for Blaine in his State, not be racse he liked Blaine, bnt as a party man. The colored men in the South, he says, do not like Blaine on account of his oppsitioa to the force bill, and it was impossible to get up any enthusiasm for him. "The colored people in the South," he said, "have been deserted by the party since 17G and they are not depressed by Blaine's defeat. They think, on the contrary, that the election of Cleveland is going to prove a betent to them. Yon see, there are two faciiors in the Democratic party in the South the ring Democrats, or Bourbons, and tbe Silk Stockings, who are the busi ness men and best citizens in the Siutn. These will be thrown farther apart by Cleveland's election. They will form two f art:'e8, and they will be tbe only pirties n the South. The colored people will divide, some following the F.aarbons and some the silk-stocking. There wont bo any race lines. There will be two white parties, each with a colored following, which will greatly improve tbe condition of the colored people. The ring men expect to be recog nized by Cleveland, bat, judging from Mr, Cleveland's action aa Governor of New York, I shouid Bay they will be diappo'nted. Tbe eilk atcckings will come to the front, and the best elements in the South will reign." "Have you read Mr. Blaine's speech?" ailed the reporter. "Yes; that's all bosh. Why didn't he think of all that when he voted against the force bill? If he had, probably, he would not have been defeated. No; the statement that the colored people in the South were not allowed to vote is not true. There is some intimidation in the country districts in the South, but very little in the cities. Certainly Mr. Blaine has no cause to com plain. In the third Louislan district he got 5.000 majority, while Kellogg was defeated. The colored people vcte as they please. Look at Bifbee's district in Florida, for insttnee. Bisbee was defeated by Republican votes. We form fusions in the üjuth and make trads. Theco'ored people are not gener ally coerced. Id some of the country dis tricts, where the white people are as Igno rant as the colored you have no idea how ignorant they are in some places there are con Micts, bat it grows oat of the ignorance on both side3. No. 6ir, the Siuth was not made solid by the Democrats thli time. Blaine lost every Southern Stat because the colored people are stalwarts and supporters of Conklmg, Grant and Arthur. We are nearly all Conkling men, and the slaughter of Folger hurt Blaine as much in the South as it did in New York. The colored people in the South are going to try to have Arthur and Lincoln nocrna ed in 1?83. Then some of the Southern States will go Republican. If Cleveland, as President, acts as hs did while Governor, be will have the sapport in 1?S of most of tbe Northern States, bnt tb Stuthern Democracy will be against him." Whom the Gods Would Destroy. Chicago Herald. I "Malicious scoundrel," "dirly hypocrite," "played-out rascal and decoy-duck," "the Kansas knave," "perfidious scoundrel," "re vengeful, ungrateful villain," "Devil-johu," "hypocritical knave," "rausta;hed hypo crite," and "treacherous bigot" are a few of the refined and convincing arguments the leading Republican organ ot Chicago has burled at tbe late candidate of the Prohibi tion party 6ince election day. The world is ftrther informed by tbe refined newspaper in questiin that St. John's followers are "bigoted asses," "dyspeptic, long-baired fanatics" and "simple-minded Republican fools who stood up to be counted" at the call of the "Judas Iscarlot with the mali cious, revengeful heart, who laughs and jingles his pieces of money in his pocket." By the time the aforesaid respectable and logical organ gets through with the dudes, pharheeB, mugwumps, traitors Independ ents, stalwarts, assassins, turkey -strutters, conspirators, reverend simpletons, allitera tive fool?, shameless spoilsmen, Southern Rebels, nigger-killers, treacherous electlon. day rainstorms, and other obiects of its en thusiastic displeasure, both it and the die tiorarywill be in a state ot complete ex hat'slion. It is very tad. Dr. Beryrinck, a distinguished Dutch nat uralist, has been investigating the cngin of tbe masses of gum collecting on the limb3 of certain kinds of trees, notably the plum and apricot. He finds that the exudation is due to a disease produced by the presence of par asitic fungi, and when healthy trees are in oculated with the gum thus produced they Bpeedily contract tLe disorder, which is hishly contagious. The disease la dissemi nated by the drying of the gum by oxida tion and its circulation in the wind, which thus wafts the germs for many reds, bo that one diseased tree may infect a whole planta tion.

E John North of Fortland, Oregon, has ob tained a divorce from his wife on the ground of cruelty, ehe having pulled him out of bed three times by the whiskers. Tbe Democratic party, twenty-five years out of power but never despairing, is a good deal of an old widow herself. She has the best kind of lock with old bachelors. In Germany they don't call it the honey moon. They limit the period of the newly married couple's bliss and term it the "Flit terwoche," literally the "spangled week." A fashion item says: "A polonaise for din ner is cut square." Every one to his taste, of courte. but we want no polonaise f r onr dinner, no matter how it is cut. We'd just as lief eat a princess overskirt on toast. Thomas Stewart, who has jnst d;ed a peaceful and natural death in Berrien County, Georgia, in his time had been badly "chaaed" by a tiger, bitten by a moccasin, struck by lightning and tried for murder. In Hamilton, Ont, a poor woman whoe con bad gone astray through drink knelt in the street before a saloon and called down the curse of God upon the traffic. For this she was fined 2 and coats, or ten days in jail. In the year 2,400, Joseph Cook says, the population of this country will be 3.200.0OO, 000.

Mr. Whitehead gave an account of a recent visit to America as delegates to the General Conference. They speak ia the highest terms of American Methodism and gave many interesting sta tistics of its strength and extent The African Methodist Episcopal Church, which counts upward of 300,000 members, is struggling hard to build np a good educa tional institution at Salisbury, X. C. It has made good beginning in Zion Wesley Insti tute, of which Rev. J. C Price is president Mr. Price is an able and eloquent speaker. He has a faculty of five professors. Bishop Hurst, of the Methodist Church, has lately bad, by special appointment, an interview at Rnschuk with Alexander L, Prince of Bulgaria. The Prince is a Protes tant and tbe way was open for the Bishop to lay out in full the object and methods of missionary work. Tbe interview was appar ently satisfactory to both parties. A reporter of a Toronto paper lately made a visitation to tbe various churches of that city dressed in nearly threadbare and other wise dilapidated clothes, to see how a poor man is treated in the house of the Lord. He was koked over (that is over his head), thrust into corners, aDd in some places had hardi workto make'ihimself received as.a worshiper Rev. Henry Plummer, the colored man wbom the President has appointed chap'ain in the Ninth Cavalry, cne ot the four regi ments of the service composed of colored men, was a field hand in Prince George County, Maryland, at the time of the eman cipation and could neither read nor write. He is the first colored man to receive such an appointment The Norwegian Lutheran synod has un dertaken mission work among the Indians of Northern Wisconsin. A missionary, Eric O. Moersted, has planted himself near Wittenberg, in that State. It may be re membered that the Scandinavian Lutheraas were among the first to proeecute missionary work among the red men, and that Luther's smaller catechism was the first book trans lated into the Indian dialect. The amount of Christain work done in Utah by means of schools in which there is a distinct Christian training is probably ereater than is usually supposed. From sta tistics carefully prepared, it appears that seventy-one school buildings have been erected, at a cost of $297,000, and more than a dozen other schools are held in rented buildings. In ell eighty-five schools are sustained with funds outside the territory, in which are employed 1S5 teachers, whose salaries amount to $93,000 a year, and nearly 7,500 children are taucht. The Archbishop of York thinks that India is in a singularly combustible condi tion. It is like a mine charged. The fuse is there, and it has only to be lighted. Any day the light ruay be applied. The para mount duty of England is to Christianize India. The time is opportune, according to the testimony of all those who are best ac quaintedwith the country. The Archbishop is sound enough as to the duty of England in the premises; but it is by no means cer tain that Christianized India will be more patient of English rule than India as it is. "I have no appetite," complains many a sufTerer. Hood's Sarsa par ilia gives an appe tite and enables the stomach to perform its duty. Woman has a work to accomplish in thia life, and the highest chivalry in man Is to let her perform it herself. Professor Hutson. A Forger Arrested. East Bagisaw. Mich., Nov. 22.
