| GgIDDLR CAKEs.-Scald as much Indian meal
| as you think sufficient, add salt and stir until
smooth, not too stiff to put on with spoon,
though molding with wet hands makes the cakes
more sbapely. Split, butter and serve hot. We
sometimes add stewed pumpkin to the batter,
and enjoy what we call pumpkin cakes.
| During the cold weather it seems Eardly worth
while to have much stale bread or biscuit on
hand, as most folks want some kind Of hot cakes,
especially buckwheat for breakfast, and with
little sugar stirred in they brown very nicely.
MUsH.-We sometimes boil mush for supper
and put away good crock full for future use.
For breakfast put generous lump of good but
ter in pan on the stove when well melted ami
pretty hot put in some cold, broken-up musf.
heat rapidly, stirring frequently, and when tho
roughly hot serve on hot dish and you'll find II
exceeding good. Do not make the mush toe
stiff when boiling it. We prefer it to the frieI
slices.

two or three well-beaten eggs and one or two
apples chopped fine stir all together and bake

To MAKE Doors DURABLE.-The durability d
the soles of boots and shoes may be greatly il
creased by coating them with gum copai yarnisl,
which also has the effect of making them wateI-
proof. Four or five coats should be given, a.

succeeding one is applied. soles thus treated

of boots or shoes may be rendered soft and water.

To CLEANSE CARPETs.--Put four tablespoon
fuIs of ammonia to one bucketful of water, will

the carpet just as you would an unpainted floor
changing the water frequently. Leave the win
dows open and the carpet will soon dry. l.
cities where bituminous coal is used, carpets a.
scrubbed as regularly as wooden floors, and wi
happy effects. Instead of taking up carr
every six weeks during the winter, as some
muddy districts think necessary, careful wipn

from clean water will remove the dust an

should precede the wiping up.
How TO CURE FRosTBITTEN FEET.-A write

Il has been ask history and she will tell you
Men have grown old in our patronage
Babies on their mothers breast
To bouncing boys at play;
And youths by maidens fair caressed,
To stalwart men with cares oppressed.
And old men silver gray.
And among the honOred and lasting impress
sions of time, and the crash of revolutions in
circumstances, we stand living monumental
memento of the ingenuity and perseverance ap-
pertaining to the identity of progression, plying
our vocation with the highest style of art and
perfection, and aspiring to achieve the highest
reward of merit attainable in our humble capaci-
ty, and the sentiment of respect and appreciation
which the presence of superior appliances and es-
tablishment are always wont to inspire.
Always to please
We shave with ease
Cut and comb with taste the hair;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
And color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow ME politely request you TO stop,
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of ability-nor as
ciple-sacred and right-nor under the common
secret and invidious guise Of enmity to complex

Digging Potatoes.

Joldier on furlough, and just convalescent,
Sought JOB to supply him with cash for the
present,
And promised a farmer to dig up patch
OF potatoes with faithfuluess, care and dispatch,
A bottle of whisky, his spirit to stir,
Was given to Bob as a sort of spur,
Which bottle with many copious pull,
He emptied, and left the potato hills full,
" nile he with some difficulty held by a stump.
saluting it oft with vigorous thump,
Some hours had elapsed his employer returned,
And said, while his bosom indignantly burned,
'You insolent rascal, you slave of the Jug,
Not single potato, you sot, have you dug %
''Potatoes!" said Bob, with stammering tongue,
'lf you want your potatoes dug, fetch 'em
along!''
