USE OF LEMoNs.-When persons are
feverish and thirsty beyond what is nat
ural, indicated in snme cases by the me-
taIie taste in the mouth, especially after
drinking water, or by whitish appear
ance on the greater part of the surface
of the tongue, one of the best coolers"
internal or external, is to take lemon,
cut off the top, sprinkle over some loaf
sugar, working it downward into the
lemon with the spoon, and then suck it
slowly, squeezing the lemon and adding
more sugar as the acidity increases from
beng brought up from lower point
Invalids with feverishness may take two
: or three lemons day in this manner
with the most marked benefit, manifest

Sugar Making.

Mr.. O. M. Chedel, farmer In the
north part of the State, says: The best
time to make sugar is when the sap runs;
it is well enough to look for line storm,
study the almanac, watch the thermom-
eter, but would give more for live
man to watch a sugar place than for a
half dozen weather prophets"
So far acquiesce. | tap six hundred
trees, use metal spiies and hooks, three
eighth bit. bore about two inches in depth,
with slight slant, use tin buckets, tin
heater, sheet iron pans, pine holders l
should much prefer an evaporator for
many reasons. First, for saving wood
second, for saving of time, and third, l
think they will make a much lighter
colored and better syrup or sugar-an
article that will bring much better
price in market, and meet with quicker
sales.
The secret of making a nice syrup or
sugar is cleanliness and quickness. Get
your sap into sugar or syrup as soon as
possible after it runs from the tree. Do
not boil ice; it will not pay. BE sure
aud not let your fire come at the edge OF
your pans, it will cause your syrup to be
dark, with bitter taste. Clean your
apparatus for boiling every morning ;
syrup off every five hours, and oftner II
convenient--once in two hours is better !;
never heat for syrup or honey the sec
ond time; strain your sap before 1t goes
into your holders covered with some light
cloth to keep out dust and vermin; strain
your syrup through linen when you take
it from the fire; let it settle, then draw
off; then filter through flannel then
put into cans or bottles and seal tight /;
keep in the shade. Never put anything
into syrup to cleanse it; follow the fore
going rules and you will not need to; l
think it damages the flavor, Whatever
you put in to cleanse with you will be
very lucky if you get all out again,
which would be very necessary. Have
everything ready so as to get the first
run, for one gallon of syrup or honey
then, is generally worth double the last
run. To clarity sugar, drain at the bot
tom through the center, and spread a
damp cloth over the top, changing once
day. For keeping caked sugar, put II
in linen bag; soak the string TO tie the
bag in strong camphor, and tie tight
hang it in dry place away from thu
wall so that no vermin can get at it.

Brown BREAD.-Many of the direc-
tions for making brown bread require
useless labor in stirring the rye into the
scalded meal, steaming, etc, and the
product is no better that by the follow
process, which makes the bread equal to
the best: take one quart Indian meal;
| pint unbolted rye, sifted cup mo-
lasses tablespoonful salt teaspoon
full soda; milk enough to make thick
batter put in an iron kettle, or what IS
better, an earthen milk dish, well greas-
ed cover the whole with an inverted
plate, large enough to prevent IFS sink
ing in the batter bake about three
hours. Allowing it to remain in the
oven over night improves it.

ASAD SToRY.-A little boy having
heard beautiful story about little boy
and Ratchet, and how, because the lit
tie boy wouldn't tell lie, he, in time,
got to be President of the United States,
was very much impressed by it. Now,
it so happened that on the last day OF
March, he was just ten years old, and his
father asked him what he would like to
have FOR birth day present. Very nat
urally the boys answer was, "a little
Ratchet, if you please papa"
The father bought him little Ratchet
that very day, and the boy was so de-
lighted that he actually took it to bed
with him.
Early the next morning he got up,
dressed himself, took his little Ratchet
and went out into the garden. There, as
luck would have it, the first thing that
caught his eye was his fathers favcrite
cherry tree "My eyes exclaimed the
boy to himself, what time my father
would make if fellow were to cut that
tree /" 1t was wicked thought, for il
led him into temptation. There was the
tree-tall, straight and fair-standing
invitingly before him-just the thing
for sharp little Ratchet. And there
was the Ratchet strong, sharp and shin
ing-iust the thing for favorite cherr,
tree. In another instant the swift stroke
of an ak was heard in the still morning
air, and, before long, small boy wa
seen running toward the house. Hi
father met him at the door.
"My boy, what noise was that hear
just now? Surely you have not been 8
my favorite cherry tree
The boy stood proudly before him, br
with downcast eyes and flushing cheek
Father" he said, 8" / cannot tell
lie. That cherry tree is"
:" Say no more" said the father e
tending his arms. "You have dol
wrong, my son and that was my fave
tie tree; but you have spoken the trut
forgive you. Better To-"
This was too much. The boy rush
into the fathers arms.
Fatherl" he whispered, "Ap
fool / havn't touched the cherry tr,
but most chopped the old apple-stu
to pieces.
You young rascal, you'll" cried
father, "do you mean to say you ha
chopped my cherry tree? April
your old father, will you? Take
your coat, sir +"
With a suppressed sob, that little
obeyed. Then, shutting his eyes, he
his fathers hand descend upon his shr
ing form.
MY son" said the father, solem
as he stroked the little shoulder, I"

EuCHRED.--A Chicag, parson, who Is
school teacher, handed a problem TO
his class of mathematics the other day.
The first boy took it, looked at it awhile
and said, :" l pass Second boy TOOK it
and said. 81 cant make it" Very
good, !" said the parson, :" We will proceed
to cut for a new deal," and, with this re-
mark, the leather danced like Lightning
over the shoulders of those depraved
young mathematician.
