RENovAT1NG BLACK kIps.-Ink and
sweet oil mixed two parts of ink to one
part of oil, will also make nice CLASSY
backing for glove kid boots. Prepare
q bottle of it, and attach small sponge
to the cork as is donein " liquid black
ing" The same varnish touched or
very gently to the white tips and seams
of worn kid gloves, will make pair
quite respectable for either travelling or
shopping.

The CARE OF On CLoTHs.-An oil
cloth requires careful treatment, and
should never be scrubbed with brush,
but after first being swept with the long
handled hair brushes that are made for
the purpose, it should be carefully
washed with large, soft cloth, dipped
into milk and WATERFALL and half; or,
if the milk is not obtainable, tepid wa
ter without soap. The latter ruins OIL
cloth by taking off the brightness of
the paint, and it should never be ap-
piled to it. Hot water is also very in
furious to it. either of them soap or
hot water--being sure to injure the oil
cloth more than the wear of it. When
washed over, wipe it off with soft,
dry cloth, and it will always retain a
bright look. In purchasing an oil
cloth, it is very desirable to obtain one
that has been made for several year, as
the longer it has laid unwashed the
better it will wear-the paint becoming
harder and more durable. An oil
cloth made within the year is hardly
worth buying as the paint will be de-
faced in short time.

Pork SrEw.-In the pork barrel we
find some thin, lean pieces, and these
make excellent stews. Have the slices
quite thick, cover with boiling water for
q few moments, pour that off, add more
and boil one hour, when they are ready
for the potatoes and crust similar to
that we use for pot-pie. Take one and
half cups of buttermilk, a teaspoon
full of sour cream, nearly two even tea
spoonsfull of saleratus and little salt
Mix the dough little sitter than for
biscuit, roll out thinly and cut into bits
an inch square. Slice potatoes cross
wise and put in with the meat, with
water enough to cover them. They
will cook in twenty minutes. Steam
the crust over the same kettle and when
done spread on platter; stir into the
meat and potatoes cup of thin, sweet
cream or rich milk, with little pepper
and if necessary, salt. When It boils
pour the whole over the crusts, and
you have dish almost as nice as chick
en- pot-pie.

Rest beauty, stiffness not waif of cloud

No film Of mist the utmost slopes to shroud.
The earth lies grave, by quiet airs oaressed,
And shepherdeth her shadows, but each stream,
Free to the sky, is b. that glow POSSESSED,
Aud traileth with the splendors Of dream
Athwart the dusky land. Uplift thine eyes
Unbroken by vapor or CLEAN.
The vast clearreach Of mild. wan twilight skies
But look again, and 10, the evening star!
Against the pale tints black the slim elms rise.
The earth exhales sweet odors nigh and far.
And from the heavens fine Influences fall:
Familiar things stand not fol what they are.
What they suggest, foreshadow or recall
The spirit Is alert to apprehend,
Impartng somewhat Of herself to ali.
Labor and thought and care arc at an end:
The soul is filed with gracious reveries.

In this weird-lighted air-the monotone
OF some far bell, the distant farmyard cries

Breaks on tile sense like music. Beyond
