A method of broilng equal in every respect to
the gridiron, excepting that it lacks the smoky
test, is this: Set your spider on the stove, and
let it get smoking hot. Put in no butter any
kind of grease. Have your meat previously pre-
pared by trimming off all pieces of bone, gland,
superf1uous suet and tissue that will bind the
edge and make it turn up. Lay it very carefully
and smoothly in the spider. 1t will stick fast at
first but as soon as it is Drowned can be loosen
ed with a knife. Sprinkle little salt on the up
per surface, and turn it over Let the other side
brown as the first Have platter warmed, lay
the edges; dress with butter and pepper, and
send to the table hot. By this process you have
a crisp and brown surface, with the juice retain
ed as well as by broiling, and the additional ad-
vantage that the inevitable drippings are saved,
and can be converted into gravy.

REMEDIES FOR THE POTATO BEETLE-I have il
from such sources that l am induced to write
you, that the Colorado bug will not touch pota.
TO vines that have been sprinkled with fine hen
dung, shortly after they appear above ground.
My informant says he tried last year an applica-
ton of fine hen dung on part of his potatoes soon
after the plants appeared, and those so treated
were not disturbed by the bugs during the sea-
son. If this should prove true, guano applied in
the same way ought to be equally beneficial. A
tablespoonful to the hill can do no harm certain
ly and if it is a remedy, the discoyerer is enti-
tied to potato from every grower in the world.

CURE FOR STINGs.-It is painful enough for a
grown person to be stung but it is very severe
agony to a child; and it is well enough to know
that drop or two of aqua ammonia will neu.
tralize the effect of the sting almost instantly
If it is not at hand, little salerstus moistened
to paste, and laid upon the sting will have the
same effect. Fine-cut tobacco made wet with
hot or cold water, will also alleviate the pain
and poson of both wasp and spider bites, and re.
move all danger from the most poisonous bites
of the latter. Bind a small quantity upon the
wound with cotton or linen bandage, and let il
remain on for several hours.

A little time to sing
A little time to kiss and cling,
And no more kissing after.

A little time for golden Dreams
Then no more any dreaming

To me to have thy love-
Now like ghost alone move
About ruined heaven.
A little time for speaking
Things sweet to say and hear;
time to seek, and find thee nearer
Then no more any seeking
A little time for saying

Then no more need for praying

The pig was thus written up by Georgia boy:
The pig is about as big as a sheep, only pigs
wool isn't good for making stockings out of.
Why is pig like treei Because he roots; that
is a conundrum. A pig washes himself in the
mud. A pig has four legs, one under each c Orner
of his body. They pickle pigs feet, but not until
after the pig is done using 'em. A pig has first
rate voice for squealing and grunts when he
feels good. You can't make a whistle ont of q
pigs tail 'cos it's crooked"

Take a tomato, not overripe, and cut it into sill

thettomato slices, add salt, pepper, and vinegar at
