Crump ler chose blacksmithing, as he had the choice between carpentering, shoemaking and brick laying. Under Barrett he served all but five months of his trade, finishing with Abraham Layman. another blacksmith, about fi ve miles from Smithheld. After learning his trade he worked for a year at $250 and clothing. evilIn-ler wanted to go away from Smithfield to another part of the county, but his master, although kindly disposed toward him, woilid not consent.

Her eggs. too, are very pretty, and I am quite convinced that I shall continue to keep and like her. So it is with the disappointing eggs laid by men in more ambitious life.

Grant was a poor tanner, but a great soldier. Suppose, for the fun of the thing, that he had succeeded In his Galena tannery and had attained that proud American pinnacle, wealth. It might have been his temporary gain, but wouldn't It have been the nation's everlasting loss, and the death of his never-ending fame? I daresay when he came to the conclusion that he was no good as a. tanner he felt his failure keenly. In fact, the rectrd shows he was unable to bear the strain, and drifted off into anything but commendable idleness.

Surely, however, his temporary disappointment developed into a vigorous triumph, not only for the healing of this particular nation, but a text also for the admiration of the world. History is fuil of it. Egg laying has been going on since man began to strive. The records show that our wisest statesmen, most successful generals, shrewdest diplomats, most influential editors, world-renowned clergymen, wealthiest financiers and most enterprising men of business, in the early periods of their lives laid eggs colored with disappointment, apparently Indices of incompetency and Washington was not a soldier by education. He was a surveyor.

Abraham Lincoln was a rail splitter before he became a lawyer. The original Jahn Jacob Astor was brought up In the slaughter house of an itinerant German butcher. Jay Gould peddled mouse traps. The Unitarian Cob er was once a blacksmith. A man whose name is known throughout the breadth and the length of the land was brought up in a gin mill in an interior town, where he swept the floor, cleaned spittoons and did such other as pertained to his menial occunation.

One day he laid an egg. He broke a decanter filled with valuable brandy and was instantly discharged. Naturally he thought that was the end of all life's hopes. Chance offered him a trip to New York. That, in turn, led to an engagement as solicitor for a cheap insurance company.

There he grew, until now, 23 years later, he is at the head of one of the largest financial institutions in the state. Some queer turns. That the egg of failure often hatches out glorious results is obvious to every student of life's queer turns. A few of my readers may remember the elder Sothern. father Of the present Lyceum favorite.

He died full of histrionic honers, and, among students of stage affairs he will always be remembered for his Lord Dundreary and his David Garrick. Under an assumed name, he had played minor parts in this city for years. When he WaS cast for a very subordinate republican nomination for vice president on the Garfield ticket, thereby disappointing and angrying the great senator from New York. That act was the laying of an egg full of bitterness. friendship, and unquestionably the gloomiest anticipations of his devoted friends, who believed that by alienating the support of his protector and staunch backer, Conk ling, he had destroyed his present and wrecked his future.

How changed it all was. What a well rounded carefully considered, discord. Points. It is all too soon to properly estimate the character of our dead friend, Anton Seidl, or to fully appreciate the extent of his influence in the field, wherein his chieftainship stood unchallenged. That he WaS held in high popular esteem was evidenced by the outburst of applause which invariably greeted his appearnce on the conductor's stand.

As years his clothes, was Americanized in a marked degree, and he invariably stepped to his desk a well-groomed man. He was very fond of good whisky, beer and coffee. He smoked cigars and cigarettes inordinately. He was a yen-table night owe and loved to sit with a chosen few after the nervous labors of the evening were done, discussing, arguing, smoking o.nd drinking. He was a student for the love of it.

Had he lived 10 years longer he would have been gross in body, rich in pocket, and, without doubt. the greatest authority in the uppermost field of musical endeavor on the face of the earth. If it be true that the immediate cause of his death was the indigestibility of a shad roe, what an apt illustration it is of the scriptural remark, "Lo, what a mighty matter a little lire kindleth."

Disappointing Bird Apt Type of Thousands of Men. Glorious Reults Hatched From Some Eggs of Failure. NEW YORK, April 2---And then he laid an egg. I'm very fond of birds, and have had In my time some beautiful singers. The one I thought the most of was my bedroom companion for years.

I'm an old-fashioned party, with old-fashioned fleas and habits. Among other regular performances I shave myself every morning, and when I had the bird referred to. as I stool shaving before my mirror. he would jump from his cage to my head, from my head to the mirror frame and back again, and thus enhance the familiarity and affectionate regard entertained by each for the other. One sad morning he utilized an open window, and I never saw him since.

About three months ago my wife surprised me with a prettily-shaped, linnet-colored canary. He seemed to be a nice little chap, cute in his ways and appreciative of our attentions. What we did. In my study at home I have a large mahogany table in the center of the room, on which Henry Ward Beecher used to write his sermons, or at least his skeletons. On this I put a handsome new cage, which I bought for the bird; and near it a particularly fine music box, which I wound up every morning; and a mechanical bird.

which automatically sings, twists his head and waggics his These with my own whistle, an occasional use of a typewriter, and the half hourly appearance and announcement of my cuckoo clock. I thought would stimulate the bird to develop his expectation or faith in the singing possibilities swear, unless the sex aril condition of the gift were fully explained. But why not a text? That's a g-ood scheme. I wonder if it disappointing bird of mine is an apt typo of thousands of men, who go through life hoping against hope, and ultimately laying an egg instead of achieving success. I met in Washington, a few days ago, the son of a distinguished divine.

The good old father was at one time pastor of one of the wealthiest churches occasional future was predicted for him in his sacred profession. Alack, and also alas, worldliness dominated his soul, and siendry social indiscretions loosened his moral underpinning until, in a condition Just this side of disgrace, he was permitted to resign his charge and throw up his preaching license. In other words he laid an egg. He was no more fitted by nature for the self-denying life of a of the gospel than I am. Many lawyer with a tremendous patronage.

Between the two business relations developed Into closest friendship, and when the grocer died, In addition to a handsome sum of money, he bequeathed his enormous business to his friend, the lawyer. The beneficiary gave up his practice and took his seat in the counting room, where he made plans of wide horizon, looking to a monopoly of certain lines in the grocery business. His profits on paper were stupendous. As matter of fact the profits in the till were nil. Ten years ago he laid an egg and failed.

The elements for success along his chosen line were not in him. The solution of the great problem presented was not at his command. Like my friend, the bird. he could do something well, but the desired end he could not attain. My bird can lay an egg, but she can't sing.

There he stayed frie year, after wnieh he was bound for four years to Torn Ripley, a slave trader, at Four Squares, in the same ctunty. Almost at the expiration of that time John Adana married the daughter of Benjamin Chapman, who lived about six miles from Four Squares. Crump ler went then to live with John Adams' wJe's family. While there, he managed to Fee a "Yankee apple parer," ar.d he set about to make one like it.

In doing this he made a slight imnrovement on the instrument, which attracted the attenticn of his master, who happened to come down to the plantation from Smithfield one day. The master took the improvement away with him, saying only -to Crump ler that he was going to give him a choice cf a trade. Crump ler never heard anything more about the 'nprovernent. His master finally bouncl 0 gunboat ONVII shop at Smithfield he tried in secret to learn how to read, but it was so hard that he did not make any progress. In speaking of his first intention of learning how to write as well as read, he says: "On July 6, 132, I left fort Aionroe for Boston, and landed here July 9, Iste2.

When I came away from that fort the government owed me $160 for eight months' work shoeing horses. That is wbat I agreed to work for.

At his wile's suggestion he attended the Wells night school, but bad eyesight caused him to meet with poor success. "My wife, seeing my disappointment," he says, "told me that she would do all my reading and writing for me, and she Old down to the time of her death, about four years ago.

When she passed away, I found that I should have to depeno upon myself if I wanted to learn anything. I could not read the newspapers during the last war, but if we have a war now, I shall be able to read all about it myself. I can do my own signing, and I am not making any more crosses.

Very dirty spots in a carpet should be washed out with a scrubbing brush and warm water strong with ox gall; in fact the latter is nearly pure. Grease spots will disappear under equal parts of magnesia and fullers earth, mixed to a paste with boiling water. This is put on warm and left for 24 hours, and when brushed off the grease is a thing of the past. Raw starch and water is another remedy for greasy spots and various stains, repeating the paste several times if necessary.

If oil is spilled on a carpet, at once apply blotting paper or heavy brown wrapping paper, and press it with a very warm iron. Fresh ink may be removed by using the blotting paper at Once. Take up as much of the ink as possible with a spoon, says an excellent housewife, and then pour cold sweet milk on the spot and dip it up with the I sPoon until the milk is barely tinged with ink. Then wash in cold water and wipe as dry as possible. In place of sweeping an invelld's room, try rubbing a slightly damp cloth over the carpet to gather up the dust and brighten it.

If you wish to patch an old carpet, cut a piece to fit over the hole, matching the figure, paste down with flour paste and iron well with a hot flatiron. When whitewash has injured your carpet, try a few drops of carbonate of ammonia in warm water on the spots. It is said that fleas can be kept out of carpets by sprinkling oil of wormwood around the edges. The carpet moth haunts the edges, and housewives often lay a cloth wrung out in hot water on the carpet edge and iron until dry, thus killing the tooth and its eggs. This answers for an ingrain carpet, but the thicker varieties must be loosened and the edge turned back, as the steaming and ironing will have to be done on the inner side.

If a carpet has to be washed. after beating it well on both sides and removing all grease and extra dirty spots as previously described, apply with a clean brush a mixture of half a pound of soap boiled in a gallon of water until dissolved and then to it add two ounces of salts of tartar. Use this hot, covering not with old sheets. If a child runs against a curtain with a piece of bread and butter the grease spot thus made can be removed with benzine. which is very explosive.
