THE HER AID.
How to Make a What Not.
From the Gnlena Gazette.

FROM the UdIcud ddLSttc'
In the absence of other matters TO
write about, we propose to tell the
LADY readers of the Gazette how to
make a what-not There is not a
superabundance of pine in this local
ity, and burrs and fine cones are
scarce. Those who have taken the
precaution to gather them, however,
can make the time pass away pleas
antly these cold days by making this,
the prettiest oc household ornaments.
Have ready three thin planks for
shelves, cord, empty spools, card
board, needles, thread and varnish.
Now saw the plank, so that they will
be rounded at the corners; bore
holes, two in the ends of each plank,
two inches from the ends and
some inches apart. The planks
should all be Of the same length-l4
inches-and of different widths; the
widest Clover one) s inches, the
middle seven inches, and upper
inches wide. Paper them smoothly
with fancy, small figured wall paper
While they are drying stain your
spools with log wood, have ten No.
80 and twenty No. so spoos. Cut
your card board in three strips, seven
inches wide; one 20 inches long, one
q and one %. Lay paper pattern
upon them, and trace the scollops,
making three large ones, and sub
dividing them into five smaller ones
around the edge Of each large one,
and having small ones of the same
size around the upper edge for the
larger are at the lower edge OF the
card board. Now tie pine cone
scales are sewed thickly all over the
upper scallops, and two rows around
the edge Of the others; in the center
OF the small ones that surround the
large scalops sew the round ends Of
cones. Finish filling the empty
space that was left with white spruce
cones, putting them on whole, with
the small ends mp, arranging them as
Your fancy and taste dictate. Pro
coed in this manner in each OF the
three strips of card board then var
nish all, and let them dry, aud then
varnish again after drying again
tack them on their respective shelves,
allowing the small scallops to be
above, and the large ones below, each
shelf Then take your cords and tie
knots at the ends; after putting them
through the four holes in the lower
shelf, string on of No 80 spools, four
on each cord. Above the middle
shelf string on No. so spools, five on
each cord then add the upper shelf,
and put a blue tassel to the ends of
your cord, and the work is done.
There it hangs, a "perfect thing of
beauty" only needing fresh coat of
varnish at the spring cleaning to
make it = 10Y forever" For is it
not Of your own handiw ork, and have
you not right TO be proud?

have observed that prove conclusively
that no food given to a COW, giving . rea-
sonable amount of good milk, is thrown
away.
There was once a remarkable COW,
whose pedigree was unknown, that gave =
great amount of milk. She was sold at q
great price. The purchaser found why
his COW failed in her milk after being
brought to his establishment. She had
been fed upon pieces of bread and bakery
sweepings beside her regular feed: An
other COW became quite thin in flesh, as
many good mixers do, and, with the hope
of improving the appearance of the COW,
her feed was gradually increased, changed
from corn to bran, ship.stuff and linseed,
with hay and oats. Her milk was increas.
ed three-fold.
The West is not good climate for tur-
nips of any kind. It is too hot and dry
in the summer. For this reason, sow
them either very early or very late, ex-
cept Swedish turnips. These will often
give good crop sown the last of May.
If you wait month later, very likely
they will either be eaten by the fly, or
else be burned up, or both, before they
get root. With fat turnips for winter
use, you must take your chances, Sow
the latter part of July, and continue to
sow at intervals until the middle of Au-
gust. We have even raised fair turnips
sown the last Of August, and believe for
the table that, like picking cucnmbers,
the smaller the turnip the better.

son, who despises cats, suggested traps or
poison. As usual, Mrs. Thompson had
her way about it, and Mr.. Thompson pro-
cured the kittens-beautiful little crea-
lures, so cunning and playful that even
Thompson formed an affection for them,
and never stepped on their tails unless by
accident.
A few days after the advent of the kit.
tens. Mr.. Thompson brought home box
of choice cigars and set them up on the
clock shelf directly under the bird cage
which hung against the wall. During
that night there was crash in the sit.
ting room and when Thompson got up
and struck light and discovered that
the kittens in their attempt to get at the
bird had knocked down the box of cigars
and they were rolling about the floor and
more than half of them broken and ruin
ed, he was irritated and suggested that
the kittens were a nuisance and should
be disposed of. Mrs. Thompson doesn't
like cigars and said she would keep the
kittens, she very much preferred them to
cigar smoke, and in fact was rather CRATE
full for what the kittens had done.
The next day the kittens got into the
parlor and IN their play Knocked over
glass screen, underneath which was
fine wax cross. The whole thing was
ruined-it was worth about $40. When
Mr.. Thompson came home he was Inform
ed that he could dispose of one of those
kittens.
The next morning, as the Thompson
family were about ready to sit down to
breakfast the Kitchen yirl came out of
the store room with the sugar scoop, and
handing it to Mrs Thompson said ''look
at that! Mrs. Thompson handed it to
Mr.. Thompson and remarked. "Mr.
Thompson lock at that" Thompson
looked at it moment and returned it to
Mrs. Thompson and simply said, ''Well?'
Mrs. Thompson replied, "Mr. Thompson
you can kill both those cats -

morning, and is now trying to sell a bar

A Terrific Explosion in San Franz
cisco.

On the 7th inst. disastrous fire, with
loss of life, occurred in San Francisco at
the corner Of Spear and Harrison streets,
caused by an explosion of giant
powder in frame building ad-
jacent to Hathaway's bonded
warehouse. Numbers of frame buildings
occupied as saloons and dwellings were
blown to fragments. The wall of the
warehouse was crushed, and the whole in
few moments was mass ofhame. Men,
women and children were crushed in the
falling ruins, or persisted in the flames.
1t was impossible on that evening,
to ascertain the number of lives
lost or persons injured. The fire was un.
der control, and confined to the immedi-
ate vicinity Of the explosion. The loss
in the bonded warehouse was not less
than half million dollars. The
adjacent property burned, consist
ing of hay. barn, coal-shed. saloon
and dwelling. perhaps $4,000 more.
Search was made in the ruins as prompt
ly as the fire would admit for the recov-
cry OF the bodies. Three had been taken
out thus far, and it was thought several
others, but in the confusion prevailing it
was impossible to ascertain.

A Third Term Utterance by Grants
Home Organ.

lFrom the Washington National Republican,
As the third-party movement asserts
itself, and the rotten, disconnected ele.
ment of the Republican party is sloughed
off to attach itself to that movement, the
third term proposition grows in public
favor, but President Grant is so tantaliz-
ing that he will not open his lips on the
subject, and the busy.bodies outside Of
the Republican party who have such a
close regard for its welfare are bothered
nigh unto insanity. Is it because they
are afraid of his strength with the people
that they continually advise against his
denomination. The Democratic press is
not above such thing as intermeddling
with the affairs of the Republican party
for the purpose of inducing it to nominate
a weak mana man who could be easily
beaten by the Opposition.

Humbug.

General Sherman ON the Black Hill.
Humbug.
Interview in the Kansas City Times, April g.
The theme of the conversation was
changed, and after chatting about Kansas
City as it was years ago, when known as
Westport Landing, and its wonderful
growth, that Of
THE BLACK HILLS
came up. The General expressed himself
with emphasis on this subject, and the
reporter was not long in ascertaining
that he considered the excitement prema-
ture.
ssDo you think gold can be found there
in large quantities!
sNo. There are many other mining
districts in other States much more &C
cessible, and which are far more valua BILE
than those of the Black Hills
Chow is it, then, that such furore
has been created?"
s'That's easy enough to explain, he
answered. "Omaha and Sioux City want
to be advertised, and they are succeeding
in their wishes. Their merchants want
people to come there and buy supplies for
the journey into the mining regions. And
then there is another reason. The pub
lie has learned that the Government has
forbidden it the eaatree into this Indian
reservation, and you know how it is, with
for hidden fruits. Stolen sweets are much
sweeter, and the miners imagine that the
Black Hills mining region is the only one
in the world"
''The Government, suppose, remark
ed the reporter, will keep them out at
all hazards
cit most certainly will, and | advise all
to keep out of the reach of the troops
with their wagons and horses, as they will
surely be destroyed; such are the orders
in case any are captured
can old scout is getting up company
to start from this city. He expects to 60
next month, and says he will have one
thousand men,"
"They had better remain where they
are That's my advice.
Various other subjects were alluded to
in the hurried conversation, but the re-
porter was forced to withdraw, as the
train was drawing out.

Feeding Dairy stock.

The high price of feed has very little
to do with the amount of provender
which should lie used. He, who in this
enterprise, has not learned to sow plen-
tifully will reap sparingly. 1t may be
question whether hay At SIS. corn at s.
cents, and other feed in the same proper
ton will pay to feed At all. it will do so to
feed we'll. The question whether the
dairy business pays, is, Or should be, de-
termined by the ne. proceeds Of a term
of years. One dry. chinch bug, grass
hopper year should not drive . man from
the the field if he has been successful in
the past aud hopes to be more so in the
future.
The breed Of stock has much to do in
the matter. but it is presumed that no
one will keep COWS that will not ordinari-
" pay expense. A COW that does not give
1t least two gallons Of milk daily during
seven months Of the year should be sold
for beef or be turned into the scalawag
market. But having good COWS feed
