MILK-CANS.

When a can is TO be washed do not
put hot water in 1t at first bGi put in
water not above milk warm, which will
readily dissolve the milk if any is dried
on the tim, and il works Off very easily
while if hot water is applied at first, it
has tendency to cook the milk on the
tin, in which condition water will not
very readily dissolve it, but warm milk
will. 1t is, therefore, very important
to give strict heed to this matter and
see that the milk is thoroughly remov.
ed by washing before any boiling water
is applied. Care must be taken to re-
move every vestigc of the milk about
the seams of the cans and covers, as
here is where the trouble always be-
gins. The seams demand especial at
tention. The little tube in the center
OF the cover is also place to be espec-
tally looked after in cleaning the can.
very many people who consider
themselves; and are considered by 9th.
ers patterns of neatness, fail to keep
their D,ilk cans perfectly cleansed;
many times no doubt through ignorance
OF how to do it, and many times from
lack OF appreciation of the extreme
neatness of that scrupulous care neces-
sary to keep everything used about
milk Immediately clean.

WHERE woMAN's POWER LIES.

The true power OF woman is in the
resistless power of affection. In assert
ing this, am | attempting to mask the
great question of our day with .'glitter-
ing generalty?' Am | disposed 60
deny any lawful claims which woman
may make for more extensive recog-
milton of her rights, or large field for
her power? No; am not doing any
such thing. Let woman do whatever
her faculties can achIeve--let her what
ever her instinct dnmands-if she follws
her instincts am sure she will not 90
wrong. am sure of this, also, that
wherever man may lawfully go, woman
may lawfully go. Wherever a woman
ought not to be, it is shame for man
it. is shame for humanity, to be.
merely insist upon this, that whatever
woman may accomplish in the world,
with brain or hands, will draw its vital
efficacy, its talismanic virtue from the
heart; aid that her strength in ali these
various shapes OF action and of influ
once, in its root and essence, will be
the strength of the affections. The
hiding OF woman's power must ever be
IN the fcrvor and steadfastness of her
love! And her most triumphant char
acterlstic is love, eliminating in it,
highest expression--that of self-sacri-
flee. A thoughtful writer has observed
the contrast between the sexes even In
their play. "The boy '" he says, "gets
together wooden horses and troop of
tin soldiers and works with them. The
girl takes a doll and works for it."
That is woman's great peculiarity--the
work of self-sacrifice-- working for
Others. s.--Rev. DR.. Chaplin.

ABOUT FLEAS,
BY Josh BILLINGS.

The smallest animal of the brute ere.
alton, and the most pesky, IL the fieas.
They are about the bigness of an on.
ion seed, and shine like bran new
shot.
They spring from low places, and can
spring further and faster than emmy of
the bug brutes.
They bite wus than the muskeetoZe,
for they bite on arun. One flea will 90
aul over mans suburbs in 2 minits,
and leave him as frtckled as the meaz-
les.
1t is impossible to-do anything we'll
with flea on yOu except swarc,- and
tieas aint afraid of that; the only way
is to quit business of aul kinds and hunt
for the f1ea, and when you have found
him he aint there. This is one of the
fleanfysteries-th fakulty they have of
being entirely lost jist as youhave found
them.
don't suppose there is ever killed,
on an average, during emmy one year,
more than 16 tieas in the whole of the
United States of America, unless there
is casualty OF some kind; once in a
while there is a dog gifts drowned sud-
den, and then there may be few fleas
lost.
They are about az hard to kill az a
flax seed IL, and if you don't mash 'em
as fine as ground pepper they will start
bizness on a smaller kapital, jist as pes
tiferous as ever.
There IL lots ofpeopfe who never seen
a flea, and it takes a pretty smart man
to see one ennyhow; they don't stay
long in a place.
IL you ever Ketch a flea, kill him be-
fore you do ennything else, for if va do
put off 2 minits 1t may be too late.
Menny flea has passed away forever
in less than minits.

NOVEL WEDDING.

A young couple were married lately
in San Francisco ON the bay under ra-
ther trying circumstances. The young
man and woman loved each other fond
ly, and determined to seal sher affec-
items by the bonds of marriage. The
young girls father objected, but as she
was of legal age, which recognizes hers
in this particular at least, as entitled to
vote her hand to whomever she please,
objections were worth nothing. Dread
ing, however, that an INTERRUPTION
would take place if the ceremony were
conducted in a church, the happy
couple hit on an idea of hiring a tng-
boat, getting the minister on boad and
putting out on the bay, and there hav-
ing the ceremony performed. This
was accomplished, and while secure
from the parents or the. opportunities
of friends, the happy couple were be-
ing united, some potion of the tugboat's
machinery gave way with terrific
crash. Although the wedding party
we're startled, and confusion prevailed
for a moment, look of satisfaction
seemed to pervade the appearance of
the bride and bridegroom ON the refiec-
tiou that it was not the ANNOYANCE OF a
father. However. the tug was so injur-
ed that she could not move. A signal
of distress was hoisted at the conclusion
of the ceremony, and tug Lookout hav-
ing responded, the Water Witch and
the wedding party returned to the city.

The quiet of Sunday morning wa
broken by the tones Of Il church bell
Over :he town floated its full, rlcl
music. and then came back again ii
faint echoes. The bell seemed charged
with a message to the people, which il
was telling with all its might, and the
message ran thus; 'sCome, come. ;
"Come, eome." Come, come,'l
But although well understood it was
not needed by many, and this is what
The people said that did not heed it ;
and what conscience said to them:
Bell-'Come, come.
People-''We are not feelidg very
we'll today"
Conseience--"Isn't 1T strange there
are so many sick people on SUNDAYS !?
Many who are well enough on Satur-
day night are unable, tu go ont Sunday;
ard tlfose who are sick ON Sunday re-
cover when Monday morning comes.
1t might seem as if some weekly epi-
| demic visited the town with a full sun
ply of headaches colds, fevers and other
diserders.n l
Bell-'C0me, come
People-vThe weather is too unpleas-
ant to-day
Couscience-sYes, the weather on
Sunday Is always wrong, too hot, too
cold, too wet, too cloudy, or too windy.
Sunday heats are so eXhausting. S un-
day rains are penetrating. Sunday colds
SO piercing, that no one but the minis
terand the sexton should go to church!'
Bell-sCome, come
People-'We have company
Conscience-'Isn't there something
said about the stranger within thy gates
keeping the Sabbath holy?'
Bell-sCome, come.'
People-'Our garments are not good

ConscieEce--tYes, there always seats
there for all who come. There need be
no fear of intruding, for all are always

And SO the church bell kept ringing |
out it's message, Come, Gomez and |
some needed the message, came, thank

DO TU RKEYs PAY

Turkeys do not pay the careless far
mer, who has no place for them to lay
or hatch, and no range or roost for
them. The eggs get chilled, the nests
are broken up by vermin, or, if the eggs.
hatch, the young ones are exposed to
the long cold storms, and the most of
them die. Fall comes, and the flock IS
barely doubled This does not pav.--
But good stock and careful handling
pays about as well as anything on the
farm. %
The following is the balance sheet of
a Connecticut iarmer: He had s tur-
keys, from which he raised 101 BIRDS.
lie sold 9S of them, weighing dressed
| /, ,426 pounds, at the close of fhe wear,
tor u cents pound, making S3S5, and
the remaining three be valued at SO,
makingithe gross proceeds OF the flock,
1894. He fed to them llQ bushels of
corn, worth $lG5, and the dressing cost
$40, making sl75. This gives S2l6 pro-
| tit, If We reckon the feathers and ma.
nure as an offset to the attendance. -
This is handsome item in the opera
tons of the year. 1t does not take a
great deal of labor to raise flock, but
a little timely attention must be given
every day during the Spring, which is
the critical time with them. After the
chicks are two months old, they require
less care than any other Kind Of poul-
try. s... ..ts.5.
The nest should be sheltered, and for
this an old barrel, covered with brush,
isbetter than more expensive and tidy
covering. If you can make. them think
they are stealing their nests, it is all the
better. By a little timely attention
they can be made to lap and rear their,
broods near the house. The eggs should,
be brought into the house, To guard
them from frost, and be turned half way
over every day, until the hen is ready
for them. Make pen of boards about
afoot high, in some sheltered sunny
spot for the young brood, and keep them
there until they can fly. over. Feed
chopped eggs, liver or some fresh ami
NAL food, with scalded hominy. Have
roost of poles in some sheltered spot.
and as soon as they incline to forsake
the shelter of their mother, train them
to mount the poles. They will soon
come home as regularly as the chickens
to their roost; and much labor will be
saved in looking after them. Turkeys.
like other farm crops. are profitable ac-
cording to the attention bestowed upon
them.

2. Ii any poison is swallowed, drink
instantly glass of cool water, with a
heaping teaspo0nful each of common
salt and ground mustard stirred into it.
This vomits as soon as it reaches the
stomach; but for fear some of the poison
might remain, swallow the whites of
one or two eggSor drink cup of strong
coffee, these two being antidotes for Il
greater number OF poisons than any
dozen other articles known, with the
advantage of their always being at

Oil, dripping OF melted butter OF lard,
are good substitutes especially If they
