Good Styl0 for ROOsts.

One of the best modes for roosts or
perches in hen houses for Asiatics is
that adopted by an extensive breeder Of
Brahmas and Cochins in Massachu-
sets, VINO informs us that he uses COM
mon two. inch square spruce rails for
this purpose, rounded on the top side,
and spiked to frame of similar strips
on ends and middle, in shape like a
gridiron. This frame of 1oosts has
three legs, say two feet high in front,
height, to the wall with strong iron
strap-hinges. The roosts are laid about
twenty inches apart on the level. In
this form the whole can be raised and
hooked up to the house ceiling in the
daytime, out of the way. At evening
it is let down, and stands upon the
floor. The fowls are thus disposed of
at night without sitting over each other,
and prevented from soiiing those that
may 10y the slanting style Of roosts) be
at rest beneath the others.
For the larger varieties this is an ex-
cellent plan, since they ascend and de.
scend easily, and are not endangered
in coming down, as they often are from
roosts ranged too high up in our houses;
while, at the some time, in contracted
buildings the roosts may Away be kept
cleaned readily, and by being raised,
afford more open space inside the
buildings during the day time.
If the smaller breeds are in question
we should not flavor the slanting style,
but make the gridiron.shaped frame, 80
that all the perches will be on level
when in use; for the more active breeds
will struggle for the possession of the
higher perches, and push each other off
and mix up things generally. The
heavier and more sluggish breeds,
however, will lazily ascend from one
perch to another, and ordinarily make
little trouble.-PouAry World.

A POyerty.Stricken King.

There is living now in Milan man
without roof to cover his head, who,
only a few years ago, was king. This
parsonage is Leo VII, of Armenia,
Prince Of Karigosz, whose father was,
in the year 1916, dispossessed by the
Russians. Shortly after this event the
inhabitants of Erivan called his son to
the throne, by the name of Leo VII,
but simple command from St. Peters
burg proved sufficient to determine his
fall, the only result CT his brief eleva-
ton being the loss of all his property
and the withdrawal of pension of
$4,000 francs which had been allowed
him by the Russian government. The
landless monarch had, indeed, some
capital in English and American
banks, but this he lost in consequence
Of rash speculations. He then sold his
Jewels and other valuables, and soon
had absolutely nothing left. He is
now living with his wife and six chill.
dren in the bitterest poverty.

They were Pleased.

Thirty years ago in California men
would flock in crowds to catch a glimpse
of that rare spectacle woman. Early
one morning it was noised about in the
Canyon camp that a woman had ar
rived in the night. Everybody went to
the camping ground, but only the hem
of calico dress was visible. "Fetch
her out, we want to see her." said the
rough miners to the husband. "My
wife is SICK" said he; eve have been
robbed by the Indians, and we want
rest" "Fetch her out" was the only
reply. She came to the door, they
swung their hats. gave three cheers and
tiger, collected 81, 500 in gold, cheer
ed again, and went home satisfied.

The English Polar ExpedltiOn.

The return of the English polar ex-
petition is not an ordinary failure of
an ordinary enterprise. 1t means that
the very utmost resources of man can
not ensure him passage to the north
pole. Other explorers had pushed
their sledges to within 500 miles of the
earth's axis of revolution, ind the Eng
lish authorities bent themselves. with
extraordinary diligence and determine
ton, to che one task of overcoming
this apparently short distance. We
have detailed in this miscellany some
of the provisions made for sustaining
the men in this supreme effort, and
they were chosen with rare tact. But
they were in vain. The loss of four
lives seems to prove that the strenuous
exertions expected were made; but in
spite of the elaborate system Of carrier
sledges which enabled one party to be
out seventy days, if the telegraph is
right, it did not get further, or much
further, than Hall and other explorers.
Only one mile day could be compass
ed, and that only by the severest .exer-
tons. The greatest cold known, 1O2
deg, was felt; the ice was found to be
very much broken and rough; there
was no sign of land, or of an open sea,
and the attempt was completely fail
ure. 1t was even more than this, for it
has demonstrated that other projects
of the kind must also be failures. We
are now thrown back upon Payer and
Weyprecht's suggestion to establish a
rim. Of permanent stations within the
Arctic circle for scientific observation.
The knowledge thus gained, combined
with the ability to seize with certainty
upon favorable years, may not carry
the navigator to the pole.-Gala1y.

STANDARD REMED1Es.-It is q fact
well known to all our readers that q
few proprietary medicines have
achieved reputation as standard
remedies, and occupy place in every
well regulated household, almost as
universally as the Bible and the family
almanac. Foremost among these is the
Merchants Gargling Oil, manufactured
by the well-known company Of that
name at Lockport, N. Va sovereign
remedy for man and beast, and one
which has wrought hundreds Of we'll
attestsd cures. We need hardly say
here what the patrons of the BLADE
fully understandable we do not make
practice of praising Unfortunately
the numerous compounds offered to
the public, but since we believe the
"Garg.lng Oil" to be q carefully COM
pounded and efficacious remedy, we do
not hesitate to say. as much. - Toledo

THE LESSON.
By \. n. sroDDARD.

You thst seek to sunder love,
Learn q lesson ere You 20. .st
T. of course, should be above
Marriage with man 80 low:
should choose, Or you for me
Better you, perhaps, than l.
One of higher pedigree:
Beauty cannot look too high.
Beauty such as mine, yon say,
And the ancient name l bear;
Both are mesnly thrown away, a.
And are going-Heaven knows where.
Dove should always mate with dove,
Wren with wren and crow with crow.
You who seek to sunder love, ,
Learn q lesson ere you 60.
What should woman look to fina
In the man she is to we'd
Loving heart and earnest mind,
And the strength to earn his bread?
Or rent roll, bank account,
Owned-but let the owner pass;
If he has the right amount,
Lucky if he's only ass
I would live eingle life,
Rather than be bought with this:
When give the kiss of wife, 90.
1t Will Dc an uOuesI KISS.
challenged l throw down the glove,
You may pick it up, or no.
You have sought to sunder love-
Learn q lesson ere you 60.
Gentleman he might have been?
think not If you are one:
He could never SO demean
Gentleness, as you have done;
He is better born than most
In that he was good when born;
He is too well-bred to boast,
And he laughs at all your scorn.
He ha1 given me band and heart
How IS it the ballad ran?
"Ee was man, Sir, at the start
Love hath made him gentleman"
Marriages are made above
Some at least OF ours was SO.
You have sought to sunder love:
You have learned your lesson-go!

To SOFTEN WATER. To correct the
hardness of the water obtained from
the artesian wells at Woolwich and
render it fit for use without the trouble
of boiling, a concentrated solution of
lime is added to the water till the bicar-
Donate of lime is thrown down and the
water softened. The solution also has
the advantage Of precipating organic
matters if they happen to be dissolved
in the water. YEA. s5r.-e,5 .-s. e.. ~.
To Corn BEEF.-Meat to corn or
pickle should always be of the best
quality. 1t is poor economy to pickle
poor beef. To one gallon Of water take
one and half gallons of salt, half a
pound of sugar, half on ouace of salt
petre, and half an ounce of potash. In
this ratio the pickle is to be increased
to any quantity desired. Let these be
boiled together till all impurities rise
from the sugar and are skinned of,
then pour into tub to cool. When
cold, pour it over the beef, to remain
the usual time-three or four weeks.
The meat should be well covered with
the pickle; should not be put down for
at least two days after killing, during
which time it should be well rubbed
with salpetre.
To PICKLE RED CABBAGE.--The pur-
pie red cabbage is the finest. Slice
them into a sieve, and salt each layer,
remembering that too much salt will
spoil the color. Drain for three days;
dry it, add some sliced beet root, and
put it in jar. Pour boiling vinegar
over it. Mace, bruised ginger, whole
pepper, horse raddish and cloves, boil
ed with the vinegar, will make great
improvement. lie bladders over the
jars. In few days open and see if
the vinegar has shrunk away; is 80,
fill up with cold vinegar. Some rec
ommend that the vinegar be boiled,
but allowed to cool before pouring over
the cabbage. A little bruised cochi-
neal makes this pickles beautiful color,
and is harmless.
YORKSHIRE PUDDING.-To serve with
roast beef. One pound of -four, one
teaspoonful of salt, little grated nut
meg. Mix with wooden spoon. Add
little over one quart of milk. Beat
ten minutes, add four well-beaten eggs;
mix well and pour into dripping pan,
the bottom Of which is well covered
with hot drippings. Bake in quick
oven twenty minutes, or till nicely
brown. 1t will puff up very light, and
be found most delicious. Should be
cut in squares on the same dish with
the roast beef.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
washing or working Butter.

Butter gathered in q .churn always
contains more or less buttermilk, which
would soon apoil the butter If not re-
moved. There are two ways of remov-
ing it. One is by kneading it in water
or brine, and the other by kneading it
without water. One is called "wash-
ing" and the other working" The
former removes it much more rapidly
than the latter. AS to which is the
better way there are conflicting opin.
ions.
The flavor of butter which has been
washed is different from that which has
not been washed. The difference be-
tween washed and unwashed butter is
analogous to the difference between
clarified and unclarified sugar. When
unwashed, there is always little but
ter.milk and sugar adhering to the
butter that give it peculiar flavor in
addition to that of pure butter, which
many people like when it is new.
Washing removes all this foreign
matter and leaves only the taste of the
butter pure and simple. Those who
prefer the taste of the butter to the
foreign ingredients mixed with it, like
the washed butter best.
TIE effect of washing upon the keep
ing quality of butter depends upon the
purity Of the water with which the
washing is done. If the water contains
no foreign matter that will effect the
butter, it will keep better for washing
tho buttermilk out than working it out.
But if the water is hard from the pres
sence Of lime, or contains anything that
could injure the butter by contact with
it, washing becomes an injury instead
of benefit to the keeping. Nothing
but the best and purest water should be
used about butter. Very hard water is
always Objectionable. 1t is not, how
ever so Objectionable as the water from
wells, which contains muddy sediments
full of organic matter.
