USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

THE Farmers Home Journal very ap-
propriately says: The day is coming
when a lady will feel more ashamed to
confess Ignorance of flowers than of
music. We are glad to know that the
study of plant life, for its own sake, is on
the increase, and that there Is an evident
desire evinced by nearly every one who
owns a home to beautify its surround
ings."
BURNING for the hampers is as good and
humane aremedy as is suffocation between
two feather beds for hydrophobia-bo
have been practiced by the Ignorant, and
both are effectual The horse, to be sure,
survives the infiiction while the feather
bed patient is bound to die. But both of
these barbarous remedies ~ have long
been discarded by civilized and intelligent
men.-IOssa State Register.
AN excellent wash for trees is thus
made: Pour ten parts of boiling water on
one of gas tar; and, when cold, sprinkle
peach, plum, and other trees, gooseberry
bushes, and even standard roses before
any bud appears; the same will be free
from insects all the summer. You may
safely paint the stems OF trees, and the
stems of young larch and forest trees, and
it will entirely keep away hares and rab-
bits. Sheep or horses will not touch the
stems of apple trees.-Land md Water.
MEAT of any kind, beef, chickens,
prairie fowl or pigeons, may be cooked in
this way: Slice an onion and few slices
of pork, and put in the bottom of ket-
| tie. Place on top whatever meat is to be
cooked, add just water enough to stew it.
Be careful not to use too much water; it
can be easily added if it cooks away, but
it spoils the dish to be obliged to take any
out. Keep turning the meat, and let it
stew or roast slowly till brown and tender !;
then take out the meat, strain and thicken
the gravy, pour over the meat, and serve
hot.-EUery Days Need.
A RECIPE for washing f1uid-viz. Sal
soda, one pound; stone lime, One-half
pound; water, five quarts; boil a short
time, stirring occasionally; then let it
settle and pour off the clear fluid into a
stone jug, and cork for use. Soak your
white clothes over night in simple rain
water; wiring out and soap your wrist
bands, collars and dirty. places; have
your boiler, half filled with water, and
when at scalding heat, put in one COM
mon, teacupful of the fluid stir; put in
your clothes and boil for half an hour
then rub lightly through one suds only,
rinsing well in blueing water, as usual,
and all is complete Western RuraZ.
ISAAC A. HEDGES, celebrated cattle
feeder of St. Louis, says: Many per-
sons object to the use of cobs as food. But
those who eat them [ consider the best
judges, and l have ever found that stock,
both horses and cattle, would eat the whole
ear as long as they could masticate it, and
this fact was the inducement for making
cheap masticators, or mills, of iron that
they could use with their traces. There
are properties in the cob, such as potash
that are appropriated to the formation OF
bone, without which an animal would fail
to have the requisite frame and strength
to attain full development; or, in Other
words, they would become nice fat little
| creatures

A Mysterious Missile.

Soon after six o'clock Tuesday evening,
as the Waterman at Albert Daley & Co.'S
undergrad was sweeping out the office,
he was much startled by a blow on the
outside of the bnilding, sufficient to shake
the building and knock the top from a
steam heater sitting near that side of the
room. Yesterday morning an eXamina-
ton was made of the building, and it was
found that a most terrific blow had been
struck by something, and evidently with
more than human power. Clapboards
and boards were shattered, a beam cut
into to the depth of two or three inches,
and pine knot ground almost to powder.
1t had struck about four feet from the
ground, and crashed down about two feet,
eating its way in deeper all the way till it
brought up against the beam. Here was
a mystery. What did it? Nothing could
be seen in the vicinity that by any posi-
bility had any connection with the blow
Finally an Irishman picking up an object
seventy five feet away, on Dyer street, ex-
claimed: Z" I've found a metheor, sure, ;"
and unravelled mystery No. 1. This
"metheor'' proved to be & segment of a
f1y-wheel, weighing five pounds and a
half, with part of one flange attached.
One end of the segment was covered with
"Ood panty pluC Wy p1HC hIOl
which proved bevOnd a doubt that this
was what struck the building, the wood
sticking to it from the force of the blow
Now came another mystery, and one
which for several hours was not unrav-
eled. Where did it come from. None of
the establishments in the immediate neigh
borhood that use machinery had lost any
thing of the sort to the know ledge of the
proprietors, and they would be likely to
be aware of it if any such thing had hap
pened, for it would have left it's mark
when it went away. The force with
which it struck, and the distance of its
rebound for II was picked up so early In
the morning, seven O'Clock, that there
seems little probability of its having been
moved since it struck the street, indicated
that it must have come with great force,
and, naturally, from great distance.
The edge of the fiauge had the appearance
of an old break, but the ends of the seq
ment were bright and fresh.
After hours Of wonder the mystery was
solved. The mysterious piece of iron
came from wood saving shop nearly a
quarter of mile away, in direct line,
and was part of fly-wheel that ran

day was done, and just as the engineer

steam, the wheel broke into small sections
and flew in all directions. One piece
went through four by six joist, beside
the roof, on its way out, cutting the joist
in two, and various holes in the roof indi
cate the different directions the several
pieces took.
The wheel was two and half feet in
diameter, and its usual speed was 1875
revolutions per minute. 1t is probable it
was running at very nearly that speed
at the time it broke The cause of its
breaking is unknown. 1t is wonderful
that no one was seriously injured by the
explosion.-PrO05de1ace Or. u Journal.

The First Time.

Is THERE man among you all who
does not remember the important era in
his life when he went home with a girl
for the first time?
Ali you all recall it distinctly.
Just how you stood on the broken door
steps of that old red country school-house.
after singing-schOol broke up, and waited
for Ann Eliza to put on her hood and
shawl, and finish up her gay gossip with
the other girls. How long you thought
she was in getting through. You could
have put on forty hoods and shawls in the
time. How strange it seemed TO you that
girls should have so much to talk about
How you stood first on one foot and then
on the other, and tried to make yourself
believe it was the cold which put you in
such a tremor all over.
And you pleased yourself with fancy
ing how surprised she would be when you
offered your escort, never dreaming that
the coquettish little jade knew just as
well what was going to happen as you
did. How did she find out? All, don't
ask us-we know nothing about it; but
you trust the girls for always finding out
that sort of thing. The intuition comes
to them as readily as swimming comes to
a gosling.
By-and-by, after an age of laughing
and talking, and muffling up in furS and
scarfs, the girls pour forth, dozen or

more, and your Ann Eliza, mixed up with
two or three other girls, and looking so
straight ahead, and so profoundly ignorant
of your presence, that your courage be-
gins to ooze out, and it is only by des-
perate effort that you leave the other boys
and approach her, with your little set
speech on your lips.
All the other boys laugh, and all the
other girls giggle.
But you are desperate, and hurry up to
her with your elbow stuck oet at an acute
angle, and" Miss Brown may l see you
home to-night?''
How she does start, and how astonished
she looks--quite as much so as if she had
thought you at the antipOdes all along !;
and you would never mistrust from her
appearance that she had endured the tor
ture of cruel papers all day with special
reference to your taste and washed her
face in lemon juice and oatmeal be-
cause she had heard you say you detested
freckles
She is "tickled half to DEATH at your
preference, for she hates those Smith girls,
and she knows they have been making a
"dead set" at you, but she is as cool as a
cucumber at your proposal.
And why? That is a conundrum we
give up. We know nothing about the
| why's and wherefores which control a
woman's heart, especially the heart of a
young and pretty one.
And when she has kept you waiting till
there is a lump in your throat which
| threatens to suffocate you, and your knees

wished you were at home in your little
! bed, she puts out two fingers and fastens
them to your cOat-sleeye, and you set

airy.
You wonder what you shall say, and al.
most wish the earth would open and
swallow you up and save you from the
necessity Of g making talk" By-and- by
she breaks the silence with the original
remark:
Very fine evening""
And you start as if a bombshcli haC
exploded at your feet, and blurt out:
Yes, guess it is!''
After you get safely home, and up
stairs in the dark, with your boots in YOU
hand for fear of rousing the old folks, you
will think it all over again, and wonder
how you ever had the courage.
All, well, it is all over now, busy MAJ

Change of Food for stock.

1t is well-knOwn fact that human be-
ings cannot long retain their health and
accustomed vigor if fed on the same kind
of food, no matter how excellent it may
be. Wheat is the best food known, as it
contains all the elements necessary to
form any of the tissues in the human
body. Still it must be cooked in various
ways in order to be relished any great
length of time. Even when this is done
persons tire of it after short time unless
it is seasoned with condiments of some
sort. As rule, persons will prefer
change to some cheaper article Of food
rather than to eat continually that pre-
pared from wheat. On most tables there
is not only variety of food, but nearly
every article is favored with spice, pep
per, or other condiments. There are also
other things, like pickles, jellies and
sauces, that are used alone as appetizers.
Various sorts of drinks are also used for
the same purpose. In short, cookery re-
quires constant study of the varying ap-5
petites of men.
Now, domestic animals do not differ es-
sentially from human beings in the mat
ter of requiring a change of food. When
free to seek the things they want to eat,
they will select as great variety as hui
l1dn DClISS w. hS ll1C GDlCuIc- Will
sometimes leave green turtle Cor a red
herring, so the COW will run from blue
grass pasture to get bit of old hay.
Sheep that are in the best of pastures will
leave the richest grasses to feed on weeds
and bushes. Hogs are very fond of a
change of food, and if nothing but corn is
offered them will devour earth, or gnaw
the wood of the pens in which they are
confined. Farmers who limit their stock
to what they consider the best sorts of
food commit very grave error. No sort
of food is the best if its use is continued a
great length of time. Cows will tire of
hay as men tire of raised bread made from
wheat flour. If change of food is not
afforded them, much of the hay will pass
through them undigested, and they will
fall off in condition and in the supply of
milk.
The introduction of ration of roots
has had an exceedingly good effect on the
stock in Great Britain. This country is
not as well adapted to raising root crops,
but every American farmer can furnish
his stock with other kinds of food during
winter than hay, straw and grain. Pump
kins and squashes grow better here than
in England, and may be preserved till
near spring. Apples are very plenty this
season, and are worth more to feed to
stock than they are bringing at the cider
mill. An occasional feeding of oil-cake
is relished by stock, and greatly improves
their condition. An acre in cabbages,
which can be kept all winter, will fur
nish several tons of fresh food which will
be eaten with relish and profit by COWS
and sheep. If farmers would study to
produce greater variety of stock food
instead of greater amount of few
kinds, they would find more profit in
keeping animals than they now do.-Chi-
cage Times. ...

mauy comic gestures, that l have to
leave my ship afar off and gesture back
as the shadow shakes little fist at me.
What is the shadow? You have them
in your household, if you only watch for
them. All the long day little feet patter
up and down, little voices call out, and
when night comes and the fire is brightest
and warmest the shadows come out for
gleeful dance. Did they use to come, and
have they disappeared, leaving the wall
only blank? If so, your heart is sore as
the flame waves to and fro. If not, your
heart is tender for fear that a darker
shadow will come along and absorb this
