An old lady of ihjs place said that she could never tell which wesher apple p'us and which were her mince pie until sh had cut them. .Some one sugget-ted that they be marked in order to avoid any confusion. The old lady was happy, for she eonsidtrd that her troubles on this sore were laid to rest. So she marked ii T apple pies T M, and her mince pies T .f. "Now," said she, "I can tell them apart. T M stands for Tis Mince, and T M standi for Taint Mince." Virtton Arjui. A WORD TO HUSJiANDS. I.ove and appreciation are to a vvomnn what dew and sunshine are to a tlower. They freshen and brighten her vvhoU life. They make her strong-hearted and keen sight' d in everything affecting the welfare of her home. They make her to rherish her hus jand when the cares of life pivss heavily upon him, and to be a very providence to her children. To know that her husband loyes her, and is proud of her and believes in her; that even her faults are looked upon with tenderness; that her face, to one at least. is ih" fairest in all the world; that the heart which to her is the greatest and itobh-st, holds her sacred in its innermos- recesses above all other women, gives her s.rengtli and courage, and energy. and sweetness, and vivacity which all the wealth of the world could not be stow. Let a woman's life be pervaded w ith such an influence, and her heart and mind will never grow old. but will bios soni and sweeten and brighten in perpet ual vouth. Woman's Work. THE TREASURY SURPLUS. Sneaker Carlisle is sure something ought to be done to reduce the surplus in the treasury, but he is not able to say how it is to be done. Jlc recognizes "tlie general demand anel urgent neces sity for a reduction of taxation," and promises that an effort will be made im mediately after congress convenes to biiug about that result. But how it is to bu done Speaker Carlisle does not yet understand, and beiny in doubt upon this material point at this late day, it is dillicul to understand upon what he bases his promise of immediate effort. The immediate work of the democratic majority ot the house of representatives upon the convening of congress, it would seem, would rather be in the way of ex perimenting as to a possible policy, and this does not promise much expendition in the way of action. Mr. Carlisle thinks taxes should be reduced 75,000, 000, and certainly not less than $U0,0U, 0 H. The t u iff wing of his part-, with the help of private interests, will ask to have the tobacco tax taken off. Mr. Carlisle says the abolition of the tax on manufactured tobacco, not including cigars and cigarettes, woulel amount only to about $00,000,000. Possibly he might agree, he says, to the abolition of this tax as :-. compromise, but he is emphatic in declaring that he would only do this under an arrangement for the reduction of customs duties of from $35,000,000 to $30,000,000. It does not appear that Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Randall are any closer together than they have been hitherto. Meanwhile "the general de mand and urgent necessity" continue. gloux City Journal. A CLAIRVOYANT HEN. What She Saw Just Before Thunk gl vlni;. Wo never know ju.-d. what is goin?; on in the minds of those ulout us. If we 1H con tentment would be much rarer thuu it i-.i,oi;l apprehension anil anxiety would hold tho very earth up by the ours. Yen, it U a fine thing we are not all mind readers. New thought luu a way of diffiuiie; itself all around, whilu certain eople who keep tlio iiidown of their mimls closed to shut it out are very comfortable in the belief that nolwdy is entertaining it Localise they nre not. It was just so at the Terry farm. The jx-ople of the house had no idea w hat was going on in the fowl minds ubout them. The truth was, new tangled ideas had gain.nl won derful headway in tho barnyard. Many of the hens were pronounced equal suffragists, and went about talking equal rights in a way that would have got them into serious trou ble twenty-five years ago, if they had ljeen alive at that time. A few of tho biggest brained eocks espoused the cause. Two of the mediocres also took it up and enjoyed themselves amazingly making siK-ecb.es. If they hail a fault, it wa; that they were too fond of oratory. When tho hens had a convention these two seasoned fowls were always there, and took front" seats on the platform. Tho mo ment the meeting oiened lth bobled up to talk. The president, one of tho most intel lectual hens in the whole state, and also blessed with high ex-cutive ability, always; found it difficult to decide which one to rwopf nize, so simultaneously did they spring to their feet. Before the first one was through sjieaking the other one was up and ready to begin at the end of his rival's last word. In this way they monopolized the entire time of every meeting, and famous birds from a dis tance who had been invited to the meetings to speak went home with all their ni usie in them. The hens didn't like this a bit, but lieing hens and not roosters they were obliged to go slow in moving against the enemy. These two strong woman's rights eocks were not wholly consistent. In their sjiecehes they soundly Iterated all men who did not make a bold stand in favor of woman suf frage: but it was whisjered around that they were the last fowls to get up and give their seats to hens in a street car, and tliat when r.l:ey employed hens to scratch by the day for -hem they paid them merely enough to keep aiul and body together. But at the beginning of autumn suffrage 'alk rather gave place to occultism. There .vas a iierfe'ct wave of metaphysical interest in the land, and it found a fine soil iu the ' .rains of these advanced birds. Minel cure, Duddhiiin, thc-osophy, clairvoyance and all aliases of occultism blossomed like the rose. So absorbed were many of these feathered b'sciples of new thought that they scarcely iteimy of the unusually tempting food given them with a view to increasing their corpu lency for Thanksgiving. Braced up by the "M-licf that they were in ixjssession of mighty secrets unknown and unhealed by the rest of .lie woi id. (Ley went about with the'ir heads quite in another world. Indeed some pro gressed so far as to believe and assert tL.;fc they need never die if they didn't want to. Among them was one quite an adept in tho wonderful. She was a Brahma, and much did she boast of her noble Eastern blood. Mme. Devaehau was her name. Her age no fowl could find out. Some said she was a female Mahatma nearly 500 years old. Others said she was 80 years at least. Mean time the niadame smiled when the subject was hinted at, and looked to be on the sunny side of 4i. Mrae. Devaehau was a wonderful bird. ohe was very learned. She read Sanscrit as easily as she could fly over a fence. She wrote a good deal of very obscure and mystic literature. She could drop down apparently dead and be flung around almost anyhow, and when she got tired of that pick herself up axd go on as before. At such times she claimed that her spirit was out of her body and floating olf seeing things in two hemi spheres. Besides she was a clairvoyant and told fortunes. At this she did quito a thriv ing business. About NoV. 1 she warned the big turkey tliat something unpleasant, not to say dan gerous, was hanging over him. At first Lo whistled her down the wind, and declared that he put no faith in predictions. He wasn't superstitious; not he. Nevertheless, when Mme. Devaehau told him that she saw blood clairvoyantly and also an ax suspended suspiciously near his head, the red died out of his comb, and with a piteous face ho begged her pardon for his previous skep ticism. 'Von will learn,' she said, "that my sex (tho uneducated clairvoyants always say sect, but Mme. D. was very learned and always sioke correct lr) is coming to the front; that what some of us say is "not to bo put down as the idle clucking of ignorant old hens. Out in Kansas there is a town with a woman mayor; another with a board of fe male aldermen; and Pholje Couzins is now the marshal of St. Louis; and as for my predictions you are quito welcome to ilonLt them and take the consequences." "Really, inadame," he said, "your Oriental lore interests me. I must study deeper iuto the inwterips of eastern thought.' 'One feature of Buddhism will strike 3011 with force, I think," said the wise hen of Brahma, drawing down one eye suspicion-,;.-. That is, it forbids the eating of flesh. ' The big turkey changed color again. Fle.;Ii eating was a distasteful subject to him, e.nd Le always avoided distasteful subjects. The t lairvoyant shut her eyes, stiffened her body and began to see things. She said a dark elay was coming for the entire race of fowls, nnd even certain quadrupeds on this hemisphere. It would occur about the latter part of November. They who escapl tliat day were tolerably sure of their lives for e.n other month, at least. There was but one course to take to escape the doom of that black Thursday; that was to get out of the way of tho flesh eatmg animal man. At this point a small wliite pig came up and sniffed derisively, and then trotted of? to cat the food which the fowls neglected f or Oriental wisdom. The pig was a noted skeptic. The Brahma hen looked after hira and smiled pityingly. "Ephraim i3 joinod to Lis idols," she said. "Selfishness navs its ov. i j-caalty. We get what we give. The mind that Is set wholly on thin world reaps Its harvest in this world, and it w often a regu lnr whirlwind." Tho Brahma hen waa certaiidy very deep. Tho fowls of every order gathered around lier todri.ikiu he r wisdom. She won a believer in reincarnation, but waa in no hurry about it. She said it dtdut matter to her how soon her bones were bleaching white and bare on tlie earth, sjivo for one thing. That was that t.hc wanted t-j .spread ber djctrines awhile yet. Chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and pigeons all went to Ih d that night in a frame of mind. Even t ho most skeptical of them were moro or lcm troubled by the fortuneteller's prediction. Your skeptical people ore never skeptical when bad ia predicted of them. They believe even what they don't want to believe while loudly proclaiming their lack of faith. Two days before Thanksgiving the Brahma hen told her faithful followers that the time was at hand whuii they mubt flee from the wrath to come, and they flow. "Why, door me," said he whose business it was to kill the Thanksgiving fowls, "I can't Had a feathered creature on the'place, except those two old noisy coe-ks, which are so tough a lion couldn't ea( them. These are our friends tho orator, who were teio conceited to take warnings of any kind." "We can tioil them till they are tender," naid tho mistress of the house. Then some food was held out to these worthy ranters, and some flattery heaped upon them, and the conceited things, thinking they were to take jiart in a convention where they could do all the talking, stopjied up to the enemy and were cau.'ht ami beheaded, Beforo this the small pig which had sneered at talk of tho dark Thursday predictotl by Mme. Devaehau was ready for roasting. Ephraim was iadee1! joined to his idols for ever more. Tho two orators and the skeptic graced and greased tho Thanksgiving board, although not exactly in the characters they would have choueu. The next day the big turkey and all tho ot her fowls who hud taken Mme. DA warn uig returned to the farm and settled down eomfcTtably to life again. Over tho lo:ies of the skeptical pig and too two blustering orators theY told each other how thankful they were, laying particular stress on their gratitude for tho boon of mire.l'i receptive enough to accept new thought. That evening they, gave a swell partv to Mine. Devachuu and loaded her with he'iiors. O. G. A THANKSGIVING DINNER. r.OSE TEP.il V cook's bill, ok fare. Hoac turkey. Cold boiled haul. Roast ducks.
