a NEW USE FOR CHICKEN FEATHERS
"According 10 statistics very carefully COM
piled" says writer in La NqtiVe, ave
throw away yearly quantity of chicken
feathers the intrinsic value of which is
equal TO the money which we pay out for
cotton" a startling statement, but the au-
thor considers it true; and he proceeds 10
explain how the feathers are prepared TO
make them valuable. The operation is 10
cut the plume portions of the feathers from
the stem by means of ordinary hand scis-
sors. The former are placed in quantities
in coarse bag, which, when full, is closed
and subjected TO thorough kneading with
the hands.
AT the end OF five minutes The feathers, Il
is stated, become dlsagregated and felted
together, forming down, perfectly homo
geneous and of great lightness. 1t is even
lighter than natural cider down, because
the latter contains the ribs Of the feathers,
which give extra weight. The material
thus prepared is worth, aud readily sells
in Paris, for about two dollars pound.
About 1.6 Troy ounces of this down can be
obtained from the feathers of an ordinary
sized pullet and this, on the above valua-
ton, is worth about twenty cents.
II is suggested that, through the winter,
children might collect all the feathers about
a farm, and cut The ribs out, as we have
stated. By the spring time large quanti-
ty of down would be prepared, which could
he disposed of 10 upholsterers or employed
for domestic uses. Goose feathers may be
treated in similar manner, and thus two
thirds ofthe product of the bird utilized, In
stead Of only about one-fillB, as is at pres
ent the case.
The chicken down is said 10 form beau
tiful cloth when woven. For about a square
yard Of the material, round and half OF
down is required. The fabric is said 10 be
almost indestructible, as in place of fray
ing out at folds, It only seems TO felt the
tighter. 1t takes dye readily, and is
thoroughly waterproof There appears TO
be good opportunity here for some ingen-
ious person TO invent machiues TO cut and
treat The feathers,

Of butter and two Of sugar. Stir the butter

tumblerful of good home made yeast, and
one quart of warm milk. Beat it and pat

hours. Then add the remainder OF butter
and sugar, two pounds of raisns, and a

said Deacon Green in Jacks hearing, one

tor or no doctor, who can prolong his life
for single day. The most that can be
done is not TO shorten il! Let 'em look out
not to do that, sir! Let every man, woman
and child take care not to do anything to
shorten life, and their days will lengthen
out, in Gods good providence-hearty,
happy days, and just as many of 'em as is
right and possible"

him when he is bammcring, can't speak
from any positive knowledge. But he's
a right smart, good man, I'm sure, and

MACARoNI.
When you once eat of macaroui as it is
prepared in Italy, Olive Harper writes,
you find 1t like the Turkish coffee, some
thing the soul delights in. Why don't we
have macaroni cooked in the same way2
We have an iusensate way Of tumbling
handful into a basin of soup which comes
out pasty stun, good for nothing. l took
the pains TO get an authentic recipe for
cooking macaroni, and for all who wish
delicious, easy and cheap dish, write Ill:
Take three pints Of beef soup, clear, and
put one pound Of macarUni in 1t and boil
fifteen minutes, with a little salt and then
take up the macarUii-whch should have
absorbed nearly all the liquid-and put it
on fiat plate and sprinkle grated cheese
over it thickly, and pour over all plentiful
ly sauce made of tomatoes, we'll boiled,
strained, and seasoned with salt and pep
per. Some people prefer only to put
cheese on it, but prefer it with the tomato
as well. Iranybody don't like that when
il is done 1t is because he don't know what
is good.

CHICLEN RAISING AS A SOURCE OF Ma
TIoNAL WEALTH.-One of The secrets of The
prosperity of tie French people, and their
ability 10 bear even the heaviest burdens
without giving way under them, is the eX-
traordinary thorouShness with which they
cultivate their farms, vineyards aud or
chards, and the profit which they coutrive
TO obtain from the very smallest and insig-
nilicant products. We find fresh exem-
plihcation of this in some figures lately
published in French paper, exhibiting
the extent and proGts Of chicken raising,
There are in Fra nee about 40, 900, COO hens,
valued at 800, 900, 900. One-ffh are market
ed yearly for the table, bringing about 81
co., 900. The annual production of chick
ems is $4,000, 900, worth in the city markets
S24, 100000, and 100000 are added for The
extra value of capons and failed hens. The
production of eggs is estimated at 4S,OOO,-
600, making, The tolal value Of eggs, chick
ems, capons and hens annually sold about
$50, 100000, or 81 % TO every man, woman
and child in France. The power TO make
much on. of little, and to live frugaly on
small means, and with limited resources
to fall back on is he distingui shiDg trait of
the French people, and one we'll worth
emulating.
