For STARCKING LINEN.-Use one
teaspoonful of borax to one quart of
boiling starch; it will improve the stiff
ening and gloss.
BOILED EGGs.-To boil eggs and have
the yellow cooked and the white not too
hard, put them one in a basin of hot
water and let them stand ten to fifteen
minutes on the back of the stove. This
method of cooking eggs gives the very
least trouble of all
EGG OR BUTTER GRAvY.-Put into a
tin dish one-fourth of cup of butter
and a large tablespoonful of -four Set
on the stove and as the butter melts stir
in the -four until smooth, or free from
Jumps; then pour on nearly pint of
boiling water. Slice into the gravy
bowl two hard boiled eggs, pour the
gravy on them and serve. Salt and pep
per.
KEEPING CoRNED BEEF.-Cut up the
meat In suitable pieces, put in a cask or
vessel, then make brine as follows: To
l gallon of water add II pounds salt and
l ounce of saltpetre; bring the brine to
a boil, and when boiling hot, pour on to
the meat; it will keep as much as it will
cover. The meat must be kept entirely
under the brine. In the spring again
boil, skim, and pour it on the meat
while hot. Some add pound sugar and
l ounce saleratus to 100 pounds corned
beef.

Windows in Stables.

The matter of windows in stables is
one of vastly more Importance than some
farmers think. Animals, no more than
vegetables, can thrive in the dark. Our
long winters are sufficiently trying to
the constitutions of our farm stock, I'M
der the best circumstances, and an ami
NAL upon which the sun scarcely shines
at all for five or six months will come
out in the spring in bad state of health,
even though the feed and ventilation
and the temperature have been all right.

stices with broken ice, which will leave a
clear space of one foot between the ice
and the planking. Fill in this with
straw finely packed, and put a thick
layer of straw on the top. a shed roof
may be put over the whole to shed the
rain. In such structure. ice will keep
as well as In more expensive one and
there will be more than sufficient for the
wants of an ordinary family. A more
durable house may be built of brick
or stone, and in the long run will
be more economical, as the timber soon
rots when built partially under
ground. 1t makes but little difference
whether the house is above or
below ground as regards the keeping
quality; but in small ice houses where
the ice is to be filled in from a shed or
wagon it will be more convenient to have
part of the house below the level of the
surface of the ground. If saw dust can
be had it is better for packing than
straw. The packing should be tramped
down hard as the filling goes on. The
blocks of ice should be cut as nearly
uniform in size as possible so as to pack
closely. Their thickness is not material
if they are closely packed. A cold day
should be selected for filling the house
ice put in in low temperature requires
considerable heat before it will COM
mence to melt. In the large houses of
dealers it is customary to set the pieces
edge for convenience in handling, but
for ordinary use it is preferable to put
the cakes in fatwise, as it exposes less
surface to the air when taking out the
daily supply. A common cross-cut saw,
with one handle removed, is the most
convenient implement to cut the blocks
after they have been marked out. Ice
from any stream will, when melted, pro-
duce clear, soft water. The process of
freezing eliminates the lime from hard
water. Experience has proved That it is
not worth while to combine a milk-room
or refrigerator with an ice house. Let
the latter be built only to preserve the
ice, taking the ice therefrom as required.
To the diary farmer it would seem that
ice is prime necessity, and no family
which has once experienced its benefits
will begrudge the labor spent in storing
it.-Nationdl Statesman.

The Song of the Milknaid

Oh, ii we two meath yonder yew
Stood down there now by the water,
know who'd carry me over the ford
AS brave soldiers proud as lord,
"Whew, whew l''-hes whistling through
The song of =. The Farmers Daughter
Give down. Give dswn-my crumpled brown
He shall not take the road to town,
For III meet him beyond the water.
So give downi-giye down-Inv crumbled brown
And send me 10 my Harry
The folks o towns may have silk gowns,
But l-can milk and marry
"Whew! whewl"-he's whistled through,
My Harry, my lad, my lover
Set the suns and fall the dew
Heigho, merry world-whats TO do
That your smiling over and over
Upon the hill and down the dale
Over the tree-tops,-along the vale,-
Smiling over and overI
o world, have you ever lover?
You were SO dull and cold just now,
o world, have you ever lover?
/ couldn't see leaf on the tree,
And now count them-one, two, three,
Count them over and over
Leaf from leaf like lips apart
Like lips apart for a lover
And the hillside beats with my beating heart,
And the apple-tree blushed all over,
And the May-bough touched me and made mi

And the wind breathes warm like lover.
Pull, pull! and the pail is full,
And milking's done and over;
Who wouldn't sit here under the tree?
What fair, fair thing green field TO see
With cattle, and sky, and clover,
Brim, brim to the rim. All me!
I've set my pail on the daisies.
1t seems so light! Can the sun be set?
The dew must be heavy,-my cheeks are wet!
/ could cry to have hurt the daisies.
Harry is near, Harry is near!
My heart beats quick as if he here,
My lips are burning, my cheeks are wet,
He hasn't uttered word yet
But the air is astir with his praises,
My Harry the air is astir with your praises.

Four Hours OF Mortal Peril.
TOnlaha Herald.


Near the site of the new Catholic col
iege on the hill west Of Omaha, well
was dug twenty years ago, aud walled
with brick. The supply of water failed,
and about two weeks ago Mr.. H. W.
Brown undertook to bore in the bottom
to gain a better supply. This was done
and curbing was put in; but a quick
sand was struck, and%ais caused q fall
ing in at the bottom. Accordingly Mr..
EnOch Collins descended into the well
on rope. Soon, however, the bricks
began to cave in around him, and he
cried out to the men above to pull him
up, and began at the same time to as
cend the rope hand over hand. But he
was caught by the general caving in of
the brick wall above him, his hands still
on the rope stretched above his head.
In this attitude he was buried under a
column of brick about 45 feet in depth.
The struggle to save him was then be-
gun by men who were at work near by.
They were able to converse with him
even at the great depth at which he was
buried, and the work was continued
without cessation for four long hours,
until at last 80 feet of wall was taken
off, and at about o'clock, Collins was
brought out alive, and was able to walk
with firm step to a coach.

Haytl lett there were no news of i'm
pOrtance from Columbian ports. The
subject OF confederation OF the five
States of Central America is again
prominently before the public, with
President BarriOs, Of Guatemala, as
leader. Guatemala, Salvador and Hon
duras have already declared in favor Of
a confederation. Nicaragua and Costa
RIca are yet to be heard from. 1t is
considered unlikely that they will as
sent to the scheme. The question be-
tween Germany and Nicaragua, grow
ing out OF an attack made on Mr.. Elsen-
tuck. German consul in Leon, iii his
private character, has assumed serious
proportions. Germany's ultimatum, in
which demands are made for an in
demnity of $4,000 and that the German
flag be saluted, reads more like a de
claration of war than anything else. 1t
states that if the demand be not COM
piled with Immediately on its receipt,

will march to Leon and enforce the de

shooting at Camp Meeting.

While the camp meeting was going
on at Big Cane some time ago, some OF
our town boys went up to see the cir
Gus, and as they were going in strange
portion of the parish, and among stran-
gers they carried their pistols, not to
murder any one with, but to protect
themselves with while passing through
the swamps. Everything went 0. X, (O
till a negro boy was shot in the leg, and
then one of the boys from Washington
was arrested for the crime becau6e he
had a little pop in his pocket and was
bound over to appear before the Circuit
court at the next session.
Parties that were with the gentleman
swear he did not shoot a pistol that day,
and the one found on him had not been
fred for some time, as was proven in
court. Now does it not look strange
that this man could be bound over to
appear in court when he has proven
himself innocent? They do things up
strange there it seems to us, it must be
a strange lot of Justices that set on this
case.
MR. EDIToR.-The above is a portion
of an article thatappeared in the Wash
ington Enterprise of the goth inst. /
would not notice the article if it referred
only to myself. But us the tenor of the
article seems to reflect nnjustly on the
people of Big Cane and the magistrate
of that ward, will say TO the Editor
of the Enterprisebthat our town boys
who went to see til circus, at the Big
Cane camp meeting, could have gone
there without any dangerof being mur-
dered in the swamp, or being killed
whilst there. The people Of Big Cane
and vicinity have not the character to
justify this excuse, and il they carried
arms on their journey there, they should
not have carried them on the camp
meeting grounds.
Visitors who went from this section
myself among tllem1 were treated with
the greatest kindness and hospitality
by the good people of Big Cane. We
never met more generous and open
hearted people. do not think that
anybody on the ground carried weapons,
except Z our boys who went to see the
circus.n and if one of the boys from
Washington = was arrested, 1t lcas NOT
for sho0tiag d negro boy; nor were the
people of Big Cane to blame for his
arrest. / saade the affidavit against Mr..
Miilspaugh, under Section 100, page t52
of the Revised Statutes of Louisiana,
for carrying concealed aceapoas, and when
Mr.. Smith, the constable, arrested him
he had the pistol in bis pocket.
would suggest that the Editor of the
read the Law referred to
above, and, before be again attempts to
criticise d public officer as he does Mr..
w. F. jackson, who is one Of the best
and most conscientious officers in our
parish, lie will do so after getting at the
truth of the matter. / say this much /
IN justice to the magistrate and citizens
of Big Cane. For myself, III this case,
as in all others of like nature, | have /
no apology to make to anyone, when
doing my duty in execution Of tile law.
Very Respectfully.
