"A Recipe for Using Lemons.-Take
three dozen good sized lemons, cut each
in halves, and draw out the inside pulp
without breaking the rind, strain all tine
juice through flannel bag. To the juice
add two quarts Of granulated sugar. In
q porcelain kettle lei it just scald but not
boil. Bottle and seal for strip. 1t will
nearly fill three pint bottles. Fill each
half of the rind with common table salt,
and set them upon q platter, where the sun
will shine upon them during the day, but
bring them in at night. After drying in
this manner two or three weeks, they will
be very hard and dry, but will not mould.
With fork remove as much of the salt
as possible, without breaking the rinds,
and soak the rinds three days in cold
water, each day changing the water. then
pour off the water and cover them with
vinegar. Into the vinegar put three-quar-
tiers Of q pound each of the following whole
spices: Cloves, mace, mustard seed, all
spice, pepper, stick cinnamon, and stick
horse-radish; boil all fifteen minutes and
remove to an earthen jar. It makes .
most delicious sweet pickle.

Making Good Pork.

There are many families that raise

quently rank, sometimes limiting of the
sly, and sometimes of worse things
Now and then you meet with sweet,
white, solid pork, that will bear frying,
and is perfect cooked in any way, re-
minding you of Elias inimitable roast
pig cracking. And such pork is
healthy as we'll as relishing. Besides, it
costs no more to make than the Habby,
wretched, rank stuff
Why this difference! Why should we
use poor article when good may be
had at the samecostr 1t is because peo-
pie are careless and ignorant. ANY
breed Tor no breed that comes in.o their
possession by trade or otherwise they
use; and such feed as they may have,
often refuse, of the poorest, they give,
without regard to cleanliness or comfort.
And thus the one kind of pork is made,
or rather makes itself. A large use of
milk or whey has much the same effect,
making soft, flabby pork. A little of
this may be used as q drink, or part
drink. The rest should be, mainly, grain,
and corn at that old corn best. The
other grains may be fed as adjuncts, Civ.
ing variety which, when well.timed, will
promote appetite. But experience has
long ago demonstrated that there is moth
ing so good as sound old corn to make
solid, sweet pork, regurarly given, never
too much at feed, ii the appetite would

hog though he will wallow in the mire

him. has yet sense of the neat, and will
seek, from choice, a clean place. He
thrives under good treatment. Cold
hurts him-he will make it manifest
by unmi.takable squeals and activity,
and an excess of heat will make him
suffer. These are to be avoided. Filth

The Rev. Celia Burleigh says of the
prevailing style Of feminine attire: "Wo-

the Creator doubtless intended her to re.
main biped but at present, thanks to her
swinging, trailing, cumbrous dress, wo-
man is forced to make use of her hands
in locomoting through any narrow pass

ually reduced to a quadruped."

The art of being happy lies in the
power of extracting happiness from very
common things. If we pitch our expect
atoms high, if we are arrogant in our
pretensions, If we will not be happy ex-
ceptt when our selflove is gratified, our
pride stimulated, our vanity fed, or q
fierce excitement kindled, then we shall
have but little satisfaction out of this life.
