THE-'PROGRESSIVE FARMER, JANUARY 29; 1889. THE MAIDEN. There's a poem in the lily With its lowly bending head ; There's a poem in the sunset With its brilliant tine of red ; , There's a poem in the forest, . In the lofty mountain wall ; But the poem of the maiden Is the sweetest of them all. She is tall or she is slender With the lily's face of white ; She Is lovely as the painting m Made by sunset's rosy licht ; She is noble as the forest, Ab the lofty mountain wall ; Ah, the maiden, of all nature, Is the sweetest eem of all ! Let the cynic rant on fashion And its catalogue of whims ; Let him tell ot the flirtations At the church betweeu the hymns ; Let him point at coquettes' costumes In the operatic stall, Yet the maiden, notwithstanding, Is the sweetest gem of all. Wm. Ilosea Ballon in The Journalist. C0RNJ3READ.

Sunlisrht is one of the best disinfectants. The microbes that cause disease do not flourish in strong sunshine. It also Kas the advantage of being cheap. oee mat your Kitcnen stove has a thorough cleaning inside and out every two or three weeks. , Many times stoves are blamed for hot' drawing or baking well when they are clogged up with ashes. Clean oilcloth with a wet towel pinned over a stnt broom, and rub with long, sweeping strokes. To polish it use a mixt ure of equal quantities of linseed oil, bees wax and turpentine, and have it rubbed in well. Don't thinj: it is time wasted to prepare a few kindlings and lay them behind the stove with paper every night, then if any one is taken ill during the night, and a fire is needed, it is only a moment s work to get it. In a severe sprain of the ankle immerse the joint as soon as possible in a pail of hot water, and keep it there for fifteen or twenty minutes. After removing it keep it bandaged with hot cloths wrung out of water, or rum and water. Malaria is due to microbes, which reach their .victims either from the air, by in halation, or from drinking water which has obsorbed them, lioil the water, avoid the night air, sleep in the higher rooms of the house, and guard against all excuses. Cold drinks, as a rule, increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stom ach, and so create thirst. Experience shows it. to be a fact that hot drinks re lieve thirst and "cool off" the body when it is in an abnormally heated condition, better than ice-cold drinks. Eggs which are to be broken into water should hot be broken into boiling water, as the motion destroys their shape, but let the water be as hot as possible without boiling, and let them stand several min utes on the back of the stove. Ihey will then be soft but firm all through. To keep varnished wood looking fresh and bright rub it thoroughly with oil from time to time. Only a little, oil must be used, and that should be carefully rubbed in till it seems to be all rubbed off. Other wise it will catch dust, and the last state of the wood will be worse than the first. When white marble slabs and mantels get discolored, take very strong soap-lees and mix it in quicklime till it is about like milk, and spread the mixture on the mar- ble: clean it off with soap and water after twenty-four hours' time, and rub the mar ble with fine putty powder and olive oil. Watch the drain-pipes, in hot weather especially. At least once a week put down a strong solution of washing soda, say a cup of soda to a quart ot water, or . a mm. -a strong potash or lye. lhis is gooa for all the nines, often clearing them of obstruc tion, and it does not corrode like chloride of lime. ... Flannel should be put into a good, warm ather, that is, into soapy water, only a ittle warm : but on no account into cold water. As much as possible rubbing should be avoided with them, because to rub flannel makes it thick. Wringing also is harmful to them, and it is better to squeeze and press the water out of them han to wring them. Glass articles can be so annealed by being: boiled in water mixed with common salt that they will not easily break from sudden changes of temperature. They should be put into cola water, ana, alter being; well boiled, the water should be allowed to cool slowly before taking them out. Crockery, porcelain and stone-ware can be made more durable by the same process. Chemists say that it takes more than twice as much .sugar to sweeten pre serves, sauces, etc., if put in when they begin to cook as it does to sweeten after the fruit is cooked. He who looks upon his labor as an .rksdinef road which he. must tread in order to gain money, or ease, or self- indulgence, or : fame, will never be more than a third-class worker. On He other hand, the toiler in any sphere who commands our profoundest hom age, is he who recognizing the dignity and importance of his labor, puts his wh.oie soul into ana strives to inane as excellent and as worthy as pos sible he who does hot work that he may rest, but rests that he may work, and does not concern himself so much with what he is going to have as with what , he is going to do.
