DOMESTIC.

HINTS TO GIRLS COMMENCING HOUSE
KEEPING.-Don't keep going to your
mother. You have every one OF you
probably some little Independence of
money, or some possibility of economic
ing il. Buy your own utensils; SET up
your own establishment, if only by
slow degrees. You will know the good
of it then; and you will be setting up
your character at the same time. There
will be no sudden violent resolution
and undertaking, which drafts aid and
encouragement from every body about
you, getting up prospective virtue by
subscription, and upsetting half the
current order of the household for an
uncertain experiment. Be in earnest
enough TO make your own way, and be-
fore you or anybody else thinks about
il, you will have become a recognized
force in the domestic community; you
will have risen into your altitude with
out assumption, just as you are grow
ing, by invisible hair .breadths, into
your womanly stature. Then, some
day, you may say to your mother: "Let
me have charge of the china-closet and
pantry, please;" and you may enter
upon a new realm, having fairly con-
quered your own queendom. And l
can tell you this new one will be a
pretty and pleasant realm to queen
in; an epitome of the whole house
work practiced in dainty, easy little
ways. Shelves to be kept nice, wiped
down with a soft wet cloth wrung from
the suds that cups and silver have come
out bright from; cups and silver, plates
and dishes, to be ranged in prettiest
lines and piles and groups on the fresh
shelves; cupbOards TO be regulated with
light daily touches and requirements /;
yesterdays cake and cake-basket, fruit
or Jelly; custards or blanc-mange, to
be overlooked and newly dished for
next table-setting; the nice remnant of
morning cream TO be transferred to a
fresh jug and put in cool, clean
corner; to-day's parcels, perhaps, to be
bestowed; and the doors closed, with a
feeling OF plenty and comfort that only
the thrifty, delicate housewife-whO
knows and utilizes the resources that
are but uncomfortable odds and ends
to the disOrderly, needless, prOcrasti-
mating one-ever has the pleasure Of.
In like manner, again, you can take up
cooking. You can learn to make bread,
until the fifteen minutes labor that il
will be for you to toss up the dough for
to-morrow's baking will not seem TO
you terrible iniliction, when it happens
that you may have it TO do, any more
than the mending Of pair of gloves
for to-morrow's wearing; simply be-
cause it will be an old accustomed thing
that yeu know the beginning and the
end of-not vague, untried toll loom
ing indefinite proportions, that are al
wavs the awful ones.-.St. Nicholas.

STEwED CABBAGE.-Cut Off the stalk
close, and remove all outer leaves, from
a cabbage or savoy. Cut it in four
pieces, and lay them in cold water, with
a handful of salt, for two or three
hours. Drain them, throw them into
plenty of fast-boiling salted water, let
them boil uncovered about twenty min
utes, and turn them out into a sieve to
drain. Take piece of the fat of bacon,
mince it finely with small shallot,
powdered sweet herbs, pepper and
spices, according TO taste. Put it into
a saucepan, and as soon az the bacon is
well melted lay in the pieces of cabbage,
and add sufficient quantity of hot
stock, or even water, to cover them.
Let the whole simmer till the cabbage
is thoroughly done, lift the pieces care
fully up into dish; skim the liquor /;
strain, and thicken little of it with
butter and flour, and pour it over or
under the cabbage.

AGRICULTURAL.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. - When
land has been reduced by cropping,
which is the best means of restoring
its fertility.
Clover furnishes a popular means.
Fertility grows by covering this kind
of land with a thick sod and filling the
soil with roots.
What are the leading characteristics
of the box elder?
1t is easily grown, of quick growth,
is hardy, Indigenous, and is equally
good for wind breaks and for timber.
Can refuse hair from tanneries be
utilized with profit on farm?
Yes; it is a valuable fertilizer. The
hair is usually mixed with lime; when
spread broadcast this produces an i'm
mediate effect. though the action of the
\ hair is slow. The best results are Oh

yard manure for turnips, and is an eX-
cellent fertilizer for cabbages.
Can fowls be assisted in the process
of changing the feathers! The mOult-
ing season is really most trying one
to them.
During the moulting period the blood
is drawn from for the materials which
compose the feathers, and this drain is
often so great as TO weaken the fowl ;
the remedy is to give as feed elements
which will most quickly replace the
exhausted blood. Fish, refuse ground
bone and powdered oyster shells arc
recommended for feed; and for drink,
water supplied with rusty iron; also a
little milk each day is good for them.
In place of rusty iron tincture of iron
can be put in their drinking water; a
tablespoonful of tincture TO quart of
water is the rule.
When should spinach be sown 10 Sc
cure it for early spring use?
The seeds should be sown early
enough to get the plants well culti-
waited before the cold weather comes
then they can be protected by covering
lightly with some coarse litter. In
neighborhoods where il can be obtained
swamp hay is preferred TO straw for
this purpose, as it is a greater protec-
tiOn from field mice. The round smooth
eaved spinach is more hardy than the
long leayed kind, and is oitenest used
for fall sowing.

Cryoltte and itS UseS-Cryolite was
discovered toward the end of the last
century in a bay in Arksut Fiord, West
Greenland, where ii constitutes large
bed or vein in the gneisS, of abOut 800
feet in length and 50 feet thickness.
The name is derived from two Greek
words meaning lice" aud ''stone.n and
is applied because of the fuSibility of
the mineral in the fame of candle.
1t was supposed 10 be sulphate of barry
ties until examined by Abildgaard, who
found it to contain fluoric acid. Sub
sequently klaproth detected soda IN its
composition. 1t was not, however, un-
til 1850, when Jules Thompson discov-
cred that the mineral could be easily
decomposed either by the dry or wet
way with lime and the calcareous salts,
that it came INTO industrial use. In
appearance cTyolite Is snow white, par
tally transparent, of vitreous lustre
and brittle texture, Its hardness Is 2.5,
specific gravity 3; and 1t cleaves in
three directions, two of which are rec
tangular.
From cryolite, aluminium. alum, cans
tic soda, and glass of peculiar quality
are obtained. About 6,000 tons of the
mineral are yearly brought TO this
county for soda manufacture. The
glass is produced in Philadelphia un-
der the name of "hot cast porcelain y
and, when made of pure cryolite, is
milky white in hue and slightly trans
parent. Impure cry olite yields an opa-
que glass closely resembling marble.
The mixture for milky glass consists
of oxide of zinc part. cryOlite 1 parts,
and sand 10 parts. This is melted in
pipe clay pots, which are not attacked
by the fluo- silicic acid disengaged
The glass is very hard, remarkably
solid, and Is not attacked by strong
acids even when pulyerized. These
properties are doubtless due to the
presence of undecompOsed cryOlite.
With small quantity of the mineral,
the glass is brilliant and refracts light
strongly; with greater quantity it be-
comes opalscent, and finally, on more
cryolite being added, the glass turns
Opaque and closely resembles porce-
lain,

SAYS writer in Swiss paper: A

SHEEP IN STORMs.-No good farmer
will omit to provide shed for his
sheep TO go under in cold fall aud win
ter storms, because no animal suffers SO
much, when completely drenched with
rain or sleet owing to the long time
after the storm it takes to dry them
thoroughly. Ii does seem that some
farmers possess neither the common at
tributes of humanity in the care OF
their live stock, nor brains enough to
give them knowledge of what is TO
their own interests.

Toay's Present to GrdndpdpG.-lt was
the birthday of Tony's grandfather,

She approved his plan, but told him he

into the parlor, and saw the little fel-
low standing, cap in hand, with bou-
duet almost as big as himself, it was
hard for the old gentleman to keep
from laughing. Tony made formal
bow, putting out his right foot, then
drawing it up to hIs left, and bending
his body.
Then Mr.. Lord made a bow in the

and so they kept on bowling, till at last
Mr.. Lord begged Tony to be seated.
But Tony stood up straight, and said.

hands lifting Tony up by the middle,
gave him a good kiss, and then set
him down on the floor. The bouquet
was taken and placed in a vase of water,
and Tony ran home and told his moth
how pleased grandpapa had been with
his birthday present.

THE milk Of cows, soon after they
have calved, contains more butter, and
is much more easily churned than it is
afterward. About five months after
calving, the milk undergoes change,
and the cream is not only less in guam
tity, but the butter globules are smaller.

should always be made to facilitate

lNDIA-RUBBER BANDS FOR TREEs.-A
New Haven company is making new
thing TO protect trees from worms. The
invention is rubber band with 3
single bristling row of brass pins set
very close to each other, like the teeth

and worms cannot crawl above it.
While this device might answer for
crawling worms, it could be of no use
as protection against flying insects.

The FARMERS GRINDsToNE.-There is
no tool as essential on the farm as a
good grindstone il is therefore neces-
sary that every farmer should have one
and know how TO take proper care of
it. \ grindstone should always be
kept under cover, as exposure to the
suns rays hardens the grit and in
jures the frame. The stone should not
stand in wafer when not i'm use, as this
causes soft places. The water should
be allowed 10 drip from some vessel
placed above the stone, and the drip
should be stopped when the stone is
not in use. All greasy or rusty tools
should be cleansed before sharpened, as
grease or rust choke up the grit. The
stone should be kept perfectly round. d.

Things TO REMEMBER.-Rememb Der
that mirrors should never be hung
where the sun shines directly upon
them. They soon look misty, grow
rough or granulated, and no longer give
back correct picture. The amalgam
or union of tinfoil with mercury, which
is spread on glass to form a looking
glass is easily ruined by the direct, con-
tinued exposure to the solar rays.

TREATMENT OF Cows.-As matter OF
economy and comfort, the stable should
be kept warm: we prefer tempera-
ture of 80 degrees. Stock requires less
food In warm than in cold stables.
They should be well ventilated and
kept clean. The manure should be re-
moved each day to a pile or compost
heap some litrle distance from the
stable. We find the best way of re-
moving il is TO use a wheelbarrow with
large wheel. The floors on which
the cows stand should be earth rather
than plank. A mixture of clay and
sand covered with thin coat of saw
dust, or refuse straw is very good. The
trough for the drippings should be
made of plank and tight, SO as to pre-
vent the tiltering of the urine. In
stormy weather the cows should be
kept in the stalls, but in weather that
is suitable they should be let out three
or four hours a day for exercise. If
possible, we would arrange it so As 10
give water twice a day in the stable.
III this cannot be done in very cold
ing before turning out, with steamed
feed or with cut feed well wet, in order
to lessen the quantity of cold water
they would drink on coming out of the
warm stable. y free use OF the curry
comb would add much to the comfort
and appearance of the stock, especially
in the spring. Special care will be ne
ceSsary TO keep clear of vermin, or
their tOrtures will lessen seriously the
receipts Of the dairy.
STRAW FOR THE FIELDs.-If | could
have my entire farm covered with
boards lying fiat on the ground whole
year, says a correspondent, | would ex-
pect more benefit than from twenty-five
loads of barnyard manure to the acre.
Now so far as the straw goes it has a
similar effect. | believe the very best
use of straw, except as litter for the
stables or barnyards, is u spread it on
the fields. | put straw on my wheat

How SHE HELPED HIM Our. q

mas" fondly lisped young fellow TO
his true love, in her fathers parlor, one

"You don't?" saiG she.
