The Lace Mania.

American fashion is reviving the an
Gent mania for fine and costly laces.
Light, dark, and black silks, and even
ing dresses of every color and shade,
are universally trimmed with it. The
admiration of this beautiful gossamer
trimming is like contagious fever, and
attacks all womanhood, from the miss
In her teens to the aged grandma. And
while its use demonstrates the revival
of refined taste, its expensiveness is al
ways great, Point d 'A1encon and Chan
lilly laces are considered the most de-
sirable, as they are the most costly,
They are light as gossamer, and of a
rich, creamy tint A New York firm
offer piece of Alencon lace, eight yards
long and an eighth of yard IN width,
for s., 900. The border is woven in
royal lilies, and is dotted with imperial
bees. Sets Of berthes, founces and
handkerchiefs range in prices from
81, 900 to 81, 800. Chantilly lace founces
cost from 500 to $3.50 per yard, Gui-
pure and Duchess laces are less expen-
sive and are extensively used.

The Origin of Oyster Eating.

The following legend will do for a
story, and true one, as it is quite
probable: GA man, walking one day,
picked up one of these savory bivalves
as it was in the act of gaping. Observ-
ing the extreme smoothness of the in
side of the shells, heinsinuated his fin
ger between them, that he might feel
their shining surface, when, suddenly,
they closed upon the exploring digit,
with sensation less pleasurable than
he anticipated. The prompt withdraw
al of his finger was scarcely more nat
ural movement than it's transfer to his
mouth the result was most fortunate
The owner of the finger tasted oyster
juice for the first time, as the China
man in Elias essay, having burnt his
finger, first tasted crocklin The SAVIOR
was delicious; he had made a great
discovery; SO he picked up the oyster,
forced open the shells, banqueted upon
the contents, and soon brought oyster
eating into fashion And, unlike most
fashions, it has never gone, and is never
likely to go, out"

flour; then add water sufficient to en-
able you to roll out. IL rolled few
times it will be all the more faky. Roll
from you, and add little shortening
at each rolling. It should be made as
quickly as possible; not left to stand
after it is ready for the oven. In cold
weather, the water used may be very
little warm, but not enough to melt
anything" Some pastry makers
make tender crust of sour milk and
soda and a little shortening sweet
cream and soda is much in favor
with others.
The crust should be rolled until thin.
A thick crust to fruit pie is undesir-
able The top crust should be cut large
enough to hem over the under one.
Put in the fruit, cold, with plenty of
juice. Prick the top crust, about the
center, and hem the edges well to
gether to keep in the juice To chem, y
the top crust must be folded over and
under the edge of the bottom crust,
lying between that and the pie dish.
Then press the edge around with your
thumb, and the pie is effectually
"sealed." Place at once in moder-
ately hot oven and bake quickly.
IF you want "soggy" pastry, violate
these rules and you'll have it. If you
want pie fit to set before king of q
man, follow these directions. We can
not recommend pies as a Wholesome
article of diet, which is the only pro
test to the foregoing.
An oven too hot will bake the pas
try before it has risen any. Practice
corrects all such Mistakes the over
should be quite air-tight.

Error in the Treatment of Horses.

A popular error, which bears hard on
the horse, is the custom of making the
axles of conveyances of all sorts of one
uniform width This custom is of
ancient date, and it has caused great
detriment to our public highways, both
in the town and country. It is not,
perhaps, saying too much to assert,
that the uniform adherence to it has
cost our highway department., for
the last fifty years, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Had there been a
latitude or play of from ten to twelve
or fourteen inches in the tread of the
wheels, especially in carts and wagons,
1t would have been impossible to have
cut our pavements into the ruts we now
see, and which renders hauling so diff
fcult along our streets and roads.
Like the Connestoga wagons of the
last generation, with their broad tires,
q difference IN the width of our axles
would have improved rather than dam
aged our highways, and we should not
see them cut into alternating ridges
and ruts, as SO many of them are now.

The following is said to be all efica
cious method of cleaning rusty plows
Take quart of water and pour slowly
into it half a pint of sulphuric acid;
CHE mixture will become quite warm
from chemical action, and this is the
reason why the acid should be poured
slowly into the water rather than the
water into the acid. Wash the mould
board (or any other iron that is rusty
with this weak acid, and let it remain
on the iron until it evaporates. Then
wash It again. The object is to give
time for the acid to dissolve the rust.
linen wash with water, and you see
where the worst rusty spots are. Ap-
ply some more acid and rub those spots
with brick. The acid and the securing
viii remove most of the rust. Then
wash the mould-board thoroughly with
water to remove al the acid and rub it
dry. Brush it over with petroleum or
other oil, and let it be until spring.
When you 60 blowing take bottle of
acid to the field and applyit every bout
to any spots of rust that may remain.
The acid and the securing of the earth
wilt soon make it perfectly bright and
smooth. Ii all iron work be washed
over with petroleum as soon as we put
our tools, implements and machines
aside for winter, it will keep them from
fustlng, and save great deal of troub-
10 and annoyance, to say nothing of
depreciation and loss.

Peculiar Norwegian Customs.

[ shall never forget the friendGness
and cordially with which, upon a re-
cent visit to Norway, l was received
and entertained IN every household
throughout the country where, for a
longer or shorter period, I was guest
and an inmate. Nor canI easily forget
the awkward blrlnders [ committed
before I became initiated into the fash
ions and manners of my kind hosts
small sins, through ignorance against
the established and time-honored ma
tional code of ceremony and behavior.
'Do in Rome as Romans do" is very
wise precept, but somewhat difficult to
follow when you don't know how the
Romans do, but have to wait and learn
that first. had, for instance, no idea
that it was the custom in Norway-as
also in Sweden and Denmark-to go
round after dinner and shake hands
with every one present,
ladies and gentlemen, finishing off
with the host and hostess,
and saying to each the Norwegian
word velbekomme, which is about
equivalent to-may the meal agree with
you. At large dinner party of some
two or three hundred guests this hand
shaking becomes serious business
that it takes some time and muscle to
go through with, and one almost gets
hungry and thirsty again by the time
it is over Likewise it is customary in
every Norwegian family, in the cities
as well as in the country, to say TAX for
cafe after breakfast or lunch, and tax
for the after supper, at which tea is al
ways served. All children, even grown
up ones with children of their own, al
ways say to their parents tax for mad
thanks for the meaD at every meal un-
der the parental roof, or even in their
own home, if the parents are present.
In few countries is filial affection car
ried to such an extent as in Norway;
father and mother are names there only
second to and held in less reverence
than that of God.

How to Grow Hogs.

A practical breeder gives the follow
ting advice, which, in the main, we
think sound, for those whose herd is
not too large, and who are engaged in
mixed husbandry:
ITO handle hogs to the best advan-
age pasture is needed of mixed
grasses, clover, blue grass and timothy,
and it is best If there is no running wa
ter or stock ponds In the lot. Hogs do
better where there are no branches
or stock ponds to wallow in. In place
thereof, have good well-water pumped
for them. Have troughs made, and
and nail strips across, eight inches
apart, to keep the hogs from lying
down in the water, and let these hogs
be put on floors, to keep them from
digging up wallowiug holes. If any
feed be given, it should be soaked in
swill barrels for twelve hours before
feeding-no longer-and fed to them
as drink. "-Gernaa,atoeoaa Telegraph.

THE German papers declare that it is
absolutely necessary for Germany to
obtain possession of Heligoland, the
small island in the North Sea, now be-
longing to England. 1t is argued that
if Germany owned the island she might
reduce her naval force by one-half.
The Emperor Williams abandonment
of formal coronation, with imposing
ceremonies, was brought about, it is
said, by the persuasive entreaties of
the Grown Prince, who thought it
might have an i'll influence upon the
numerous Republican minds of Ger
many.
GEN. LANGIEwICz, leader of the Pol

applause.
WHEN the ENJOYS of M. de Roth

they let counterfeit 25-thaler bill slip

they would return to Paris with all the

Useful Recipes.

RICE FRITrERs.- teacup full CT
rice until it is tender; strain upon it
one quart of milk and let it boil ten
minutes cool it, and add flour enough
to make batter as thick as will fry
easily on the griddle, and two table
spoonfuls of yeast; let it rise three
hours; then add two well-beaten eggs
and cook on heated griddle. Scatter
sugar and cinnamon mixed together
over each cake, when it is baked.
CLEANING WINDOW BLINDS. Strong
soap will destroy green paint more
readily than other colors, having the
same effect that it has with grease.
Many rooms are soiled by the lgnor-
ance or careIessness of wash-women,
in the application of strong soap water.
Much better use whiting on the soiled
places, and weak solutions of soap in
cleansing, by which the lustre will be
preserved.
A RELISH FOR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH.
Take quarter of a pound of cheese,
good and fresh cut it up in thin slices
and put it in a ''spider," turning over
it a large cupful of sweet milk; add a
quarter Of teaspoonful of dry mus
tard, dash of pepper, little salt,
and a piece of butter as large as a
butternut; stir the mixture all the
time. Have at hand three Boston
crackers, finely pounded or rolled, and
sprinkle them in gradually; as soon
as they are stirred in, turn out the con-
tents into warm dish and serve. 1t
is very delicious.
SYRUP of COFFEE. preparation
is of great use to those who have long
Journeys to make. Half a pound OF
the best ground coffee; put it into a
saucepan containing three pints OF
water, and boil it down to one pint.
Cool the liquor; put it into another
saucepan, well secured, and boil it
again AS it boils, add white sugar
enough to give it the consistency Of
syrup. Take it from the fire, and when
it is cold put it into a bottle and seal
When travelling, if you wish for cup
of good coffee, you have only to put
