USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

FRENCH ToAsT.-Beat four eggs until
very light and add one pint Of milk;
slice thin some bakers bread; dip each
piece into the egg and milk and fry
brown; sprinkle powdered sugar and
cinnamon upon each piece and serve
hot.
No. l MEMS boots are 81 inches long,
and each size adds one-third of an inch.
No. Z would therefore be 1O9 inches
long. Mems gloves are numbered by
inches, measured round the largest part
of the hand, so that a corn-husker
whose hand measures ten inches should
have No. 10 gloves.-Io,Ua State Regis
ter.
RAISED WAFFLEs.-Meltf five ounces
of butter in one pint new milk, when
cool beat in two and half teacupfuls
of sifted flour, and not quite one gill
yeast. Allow six hours for rising. just
before baking beat the yelks of four
eggs and stir in thoroughly to the bat
ter, then the whites, beaten stiff and
stirred in last.
CARROTS for horses, experiments
have shown, are most beneficial when
fed in conjunction with oats. Alone,
they are less nutritious than oats alone;
but when fed together, in the proper
ton of, say, two quarts of oats and two
of sliced carrots to q mess, the result
will be more satisfactory than if either
were fed separately.-Rural Ne,U
Yorker.
THE leaves and green tops of celery
may be made useful after the following
fashion. Most housekeepers throw
them away. This is the better plan:
Dry them thoroughly in the oven, then
pulverize to a fine powder, and they
make a very delicious seasoning for
soup, the aroma and strength Of the
celery being remarkably preserved.
After being pulverized, the powder
should be Kept in a jar or closed bottle
to preserve the strength.
In pitting potatoes for the winter a
dry spot should be chosen for the pit,
and after the potatoes have been put
in, q covering of straw placed over
them, with q layer of dirt above. On
this again put another layer of straw
to the depth of Il foot and again above
this thick layer of dirt. The Sec
Ond coat of straw will act as dead
air space and do much to prevent
freezing below. After the last layer of
dirt has become frozen, a covering of
coarse straw can be thrown on it if de-
sired. Press.
COLoRING SEAL-BROwN.-Dissolve
three pounds catechu in water enough
to cover the goods. When dissolved
add four ounces blue vitriol, put in the
goods, and let them remain over night;
in the morning wiring out the goods.
Dissolve four ounces bichromate of
potash in boiling water, three ounces
of copperas, two ounces of extract of
logwood in water enough to cover the
goods; let them remain in fifteen min
utes, or till the desired shade. This
will color cotton or wooden, and will
not crock. A good dark brown is OBJ
tanned by leaving out the logwood and
cOpperas.

wagon breaks down on its way to mar
ket, and whole day probably lost for
both driver and team. 1t is q very lit
tie thing to keep q horse properly
grsomed, yet, for, the want of it, filth
accumulates in his fetlocks, the skin
cracks, the horse becomes lame, and
the use of the animal for weeks, and
probably months, is lost to the owner.
Ventilation is small affair, yet, for the
want of it in stables, the stock suffer,
disease is engendered, and, even if
death does not ensue, the services of
such animals are often lost.
Above all, it is very easy thing to
deal fairly with your fellow-men, and
thus acquire name for honesty, which
is better than "precious ointment. -
Many cheat little in the measurement
or in the represented quality of what
they sell, and thus get reputation for
meanness, if not dishonesty, which
stands much in the way of success here
as well as salvation hereafter.

''WHEN l was travelling around town
on the loose, l was afraid of my own
shadow" we heard young man re-
mark the other day, "but since I've
been on the square, and trying to do
my very best, | don't know what fear
is He was n poorly-dressed youth,
and his language was not over-elegant,
but what he said contained the germ of
a great truth. Nothing has so great a
tendency to make man a coward as
wrong-doing, while nothing creates
bravery so quickly as leading a truly
conscientious life. Shakespeare, who
sounded the depths of human nature,
has said, 'Thrice is he armed who hath
his quarrel just, and he but naked,
though locked up in steel, whose con-
science with injustice is corrupted
And the same great master has said,
''Thus conscience doth make towards
of us ALL" The man who lives life
devoid of offense, and studies honest
ly to do his entire duty, may
look the whole world in the
face without tremOr, while
he who Expresses or defrauds his fell
bowman is never entirely at ease, but
is constantly subjected to the upbraid-
ing of "a still small voice." which, like
Banquo's ghost, twill not down." How
true it is, that g the wicked flee when
no man pursueth." A burglar VEN
lures into the street after the commits
sion of felony. He hangs his head
and looks furtively around. He sees a
policeman looking at him, and at once
takes to his heels. The officer knows
nothing of his crime, but at once pur-
sues and captures him, and he is
brought to justice. the victim of a guilty
conscience. Let the young man who
is tempted to wrong doing consider this
matter seriously. Pause at once, and
listen not to the voice of the siren.
Keep your conscience clear, and you
will fear nothing. Give way to crime,
and you will be the veriest coward that
sinks along the earth. Moral courage
is far greater than physical, for we are
told by an authority that cannot err,
that "he who can govern himself is
greater than he who taketh a city,

An Excellent Textbook.

A new school history of the United States,
BY Prof j. G. Ridpath, has awakened fresh in
terest in the subject, even among those to
whom ordinary school-books with similar OBJ
ject have become distasteful. Teachers and
scholars speak of its prominent features with en-
thusiasm, and evidently believe that no measure
OF commentator is too good for it. A hasty
examination demonstrates to us that It con-
tains more genuine and really desirable infor-
nation about the Country than any work Of
the kind we have seen.
Its prominent characteristics are complete
ness OF narrative, ready helps in maps, dia-
grams, charts and illustrations, perspicuoua
arrangement and terseness; features sufficient
school histories fail to do A thoughtful ex-
animation will prove c0nclusively that we
have not overstated the merits of the volume,
and 1t should therefore attract the prompt at
tention Of all friends OF our common school
system. JONES BROTHERS Il Co., Cincin-

Little Things In Farming.

The whole success of farmer hinges
upon timely attention to little things.
This mainly makes the difference be-
tween thrift and poverty, and should
ever be borne in mind by the farmer
who would succeed. Remember the
old adage, " For want of nail shoe
was lost, for want of shoe horse was
lost, for want of a horse man was
lost" In the case of household and
other expenditures: 1t is little thing
to keep daily memorandum of every
pecuniary transaction on the farm, and
then a haf-hour spent on SATURDAY.

year to know just how they stood with

want of it his account runs. up fearfully

well have been dispensed With which
such men find themselves unable to paw
for at the end Of the year. Debt accu-
mulates, the farm is mortgaged, and
finally lost for want of little paper
and ink.
1t is little thing to return a tool to
its place after using, yet many have no
such place, nor even a shelter for their
farming implements or tools, but leave
them lying about where last used-the
pillow in the field, the grubbing-hoe in
the swamp, the log-chain in the woods
and everything scattered about here
and there, causing as much or more
loss of time in hunting them up than it
would take to do the required job.
Many do not even house tho more ex-
pensive implements on the farm, the
reapers and mowers, and we have even
seen threshing machines being left out
in the weather with no better protec-
ton than so many old plows and har-
rows. The consequence is, the parts
made of iron and steel grow rusty, the
woodwork decays, and thus machine

No LESS than 1918 children were
born in Boston last year-5,55 3 males
and 1920 females. Of the fathers 81
695 were native born, those born in
Ireland being nearly 81 per cent: of the
whole number. There were 1881 mar
riages registered, decrease of 1876
from the previous year. The decrease
is among natives, the Irish and German
element showing an increase. There
was large decrease in the marriage of
minors, there being but three instances
where both parties were under age. In
26O cases the brides were the older, and
in one case the bride was forty and the
groom minor.

John Ruskin says, in his latest lee

wholly the fault of women, and adds
that if the usual course of war, instead
of unroofing houses and ravaging fields,
merely broke china upon drawing-room

We piled with care, our nightly stack
Of wood against the chimney back
The oaken log green, huge and thick,
The knotty fore-stick laid apart,
And filled between with curious art
The ragged brush, then, lowering near,
We watched the first red blaze appear,
Heard the sharp crackle, caught the CLEAN
On whitewashed wall and sagging beam,
Until the old, rude-furnished room
Burst 6Ower-like into rosy bloom,
While radiant with mimic fame
Outside the sparkling drift became,
And through the bare-boughed lilac tree
Our own warm hearth seemed blazin free
As ventilator to carry off foul air,
the open fireplace is not surpassed by
any other continuance. Foul and cold
air settle at the bottom of the room,
and will there remain, unless carried
off. The fire in the fireplace creates a
strong draft up the chimney, which is
constantly drawing the cold air near
the floor to itself, which, becoming
heated, is taken up the heated f1ue and
expelled with the smoke. Of course,
this process requires a constant supply
of fresh air, and the air of the room is
kept pure; and by the direct ventila-
ton of heat from the fire the floor is
kept warm. In extreme cold weather
screens can be used; but during ordi-
nary winter weather the open fire will
keep the room sufficiently warm for
health.
No picture is needed showing how
different is the room heated with a
tight stove, for most of us know but
