A PRETTY TRIPLE FOR THE
TOILET.

Take three pieces of Bristol board.
each nine inches square, and one piece
of gilt paper the same size. Pink them
around the edges, and make up into cor
nucopias. using the gilt paper to line
one of the white ones. For another one,
crochet some zephyr as a cover for it, as
near the color of the gilt paper as posi-
BILE, and use it as a hair-pin receiver.
For the other, use gold-colored silk
and make tiny pin-cushion. which
will just fit in the top of it. Join the
backs of them all together and fasten
with cords and balls between each of
them. The balls for all such toilet ar
ticles may be made by splitting common
or double zephyr and winding it over
the finger until there is enough for a
ball. Then take needle and stout
thread, tie the two ends of the threads
together, pass the thread around the
zephyr after you slip it from your finger,
slip the needle between the threads at
the knot. Draw up as tightly as you
can and sew through the ball once or
twice. Sew the cord fast, and with a
pair of sharp scissors cut the zephyr
where it is joined together, and trim in
to proper shape The ball looks much
more fuzzy when the zephyr is split.
This is much quicker way than to
make over pasteboard, but unless one is
quite skillful the pasteboard is better.
Pasteboard balls are made by cutting
two rounds of pasteboard, the size you
desire the balls, and cutting out the Gen.
ter of them. Place them together and
sew them through and through, passing
the zephyr around the pasteboard until
they are filled. Then with sharp knife
cut the zephyr at the edge of the paste
board draw strong thread between
them and tie firmly. Pull out the paste
board and trim. To finish up the triple
cornucopia, ornament the fronts of then
with embossed pictures. The same styl
of article is pretty made of black perfor
ated cardboard, embroidered around tn
edge with scarlet and hung with scarle
balls and cord +; very bright or light pic
lures are required with black foundation

AMERICAN BUTTER ABROAD.


During the past year American butter
seems TO have been gaining favor in the
English market on account of its quail
ity. On the 3lst. of December, Amer
lean creamery butter was quoted at 1872
shillings sterling per cwt. while the
best Irish is put at $50 shillings, and
the best Danish, Kiel and Swedish at
$50 shillings. At the same date Dorset
butter. which is the highest priced but
ter selling in the London market, was
quoted at l6O shillings. And Dorset
butter, it may be remarked, brings an
extreme price, not only on account of its
fine quality, but on account of its being
near by, and reaching market freshly
made from day to day. Of course in
comparing prices, due allowance must be
made for extra rates paid for butter pro-
duced so near the market that it will
reach consumers fresh from the churn;
for such butter, if well made, will always
command an extra price.
The introduction of our creamery sys-
tenn has greatly raised the standard of
American butter, while the improved
system of sending to market in refriger-
ator vessels, enables the dealer to get
his goods to the consumer in much bet
ter condition than heretofore, thus less
ening the risk of handling and holding
out more induccment to export butter Of
the best sorts. For the past year or two,
oleomargarine or artificial butter has been
steadily gaining place in the English
markets, and is often taken in preference
to inferior buffers. 1t begins to tell
heavily on all classes of low grade but
ter, and if it does not wholly supplant,
it is likely to make inferior and badly
made butter unremunerative to the pro-
Queer and the dealer. With the means
now at hand for sending butter to Eng
land in refrigerators, there is no reason
why our choice creamery should not COM
mand price equal to that paid fol
Swedish and Normandy in the English
markets.
For several years past the price O
butter has been gradually increasing il
England, and the highest grades have
now reached point that will enable ex
ports to be made from this country at ;
fair compensation to the producer. A
good foreign market for our surplus but
ter is an important element to the trade
as it renders prices steady. With tn
present outlook, the prospect is tina
there will be good home and foreig
demand for choice grades of butter
while for the lower grades the marke
never looked more unfavorable, sine
oleomargarine enters into competitio
It with these sorts, and can be produce
i more cheaply, and will be preferred b
!. that class of consumers with whom
low price is necessity. Again, as OLE
margarine can be substituted for butte
by bakers and pastry cooks, the deman
for inferior buffers will be likely to
affected in this direction.
1t is plain then that our butter make
must put forth all their efforts to pr
: duce extra fine goods, as all inferi
=, buffers do not promise to pay the co
y of production

The Peruvian Syrup. which is now so
popular. deserves its renown. because it
has proved itself to be indispensable to
invalids. There is nothing like it to
bring up the weakened powers of man.
The stomach, which is compared to the
'citadel." is at once acted upon by it.
Its powers are renewed, its work of d.
gestion is promoted, and all the blessings
resulting therefrom are supplied by its
use. Food is assimilated to the system,
and it, in turn, is strengthened to do its
normal work. The business man whose
energies have been run down by over
close attention to business the profess
sional man suffering from the same cause;
the seeker after pleasure who has made
too heavy drafts upon his stock of health,
are all benefited by its use. In word.
the use of the Peruvian Syrup is recon-
mended to all who feel the approach of
lassitude and weakness from whatever
cause. Every druggist keeps it.

use borax fer washing powder, instead
of soda, in the proportion of a handful
of borax powder to ten gallons boiling
water, and they save in soap nearly
half, whilst the borax, being neutral

ssYE DID 1T NOT.o

The parallels of the "ten virgins" and
of the talents. !" in the 25th chapter of
Matthew, following the signs of Christ's
coming as related in the previous verses,
are told with wonderful clearness and
solemnity, and convey meaning which
may not always be apprehended. 1t is
this: We are to be judged at the final
day for Our omission of duties, not what
we have professed-not merely what we
have done, and more than that, what we
have left undone.
To the virgins who "slumbered and
slept" and omitted to trim their lamps,
"the door was Shut" and although they
came, saying. ..Lord, Lord, open to us. !"
he said. 81 know you not"
To the servant who was entrusted with
only one talent and who "hid his lord s
money in the earth, because he said
he was "afraid of him :" of this servant
the lord said: stake from him therefore
the talent" and .'cast ye the Improbable
servant into outer darkness
This meaning of the parallels is clear
ly set forth in that most solemn descrip-
ton of the last judgment by the Lord
himself, in the closing verses of the
chapter depart from me, ye cursed,
into everlasting fire, prepared for the
devil and his angels: for I was an-hun-
gered and ye gave me no meat" &c., &c.
verify / say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
did 1t not to one of the least of these,
We did it not unto me, and these shall
60 away into everlasting punish ment
but the righteous into life eternal"
What lesson is this whole chapter
for those who neglect known duties. 1t
should be read often in the light of that
great day, when the righteous and thu
wicked shall forever be separated.-O

BETTER THINGS TO CoME.-Let things
20 as i'll as we can fear in this world, if
we are sincere Christians there is far
better state to come, to which we shall
be admitted when we are once out of this
troublesome and sinful world. We are
assured that we are under the constant
care of Divine Providence. The tran
guilty of our minds in this world de-
ponds very much upon the esteem we
have of Providence, and the trust we
repose in God. We cannot alter the
methods of Providence by all our solicit
tude; God will govern the world by his
own measures and not by ours. Let us
not then be peevish and quarrelsome at
what he doth /; but make the best use of
any extraordinary instance of his Prov
idence which seems intended for our
good unless we turn it another way. But
it is not enough to be merely contented
with Providence; we ought to be active
and useful in our own places to promote
the common interest. and not to repine
and murmur at what Is necessary for the
support of it. Let us not torment our
selves with fears of what may and what
may not happen but let US commit our
selves to God in well-doing as to our
Creator and preserver.-Bishop Still.

Mr.. MOODY ON FUTURE RETRIBUTIoN.
Christ doesn't teach repentance be-
yond the grave. He commands all men
everywhere now to repent. And to me
its amazing how trifing some people are
about their future, and how lightly they
treat all things connected with their fu-
ture life. You hear men talking on the
streets about hell as if there was no God
of equity. Let us be careful how We
talk. Let us bow to the words of the
Lord Jesus Christ. And it's good deal
better to be on the safe side. Do you
think that in all these 5000 years Cain
has forgotten that look that Abel gave
him ? And that voice as he pleads for
his life ? Do you think that Judas has
forgotten in all these 1900 years how
Christ looked when he betrayed him in
the garden and these kind words. 'Be-
trayest thou the Son of Man with a
kiss Z? Go down here to the prison and
ask the prisoners what it is that makes
prison life so terrible to them. They'll
tell you it's memory. If they could for
get the past it would not de so terrible
And | believe that memory is going to
make hell SO terrible. And bear in
mind that no Christ will be offered to
you there. There'll be no tender Savior
coming there and knocking at the door
of your heart. Bear in mind there'll be
no special meetings in the other world.
The cry "Jesus of Nazareth passeth BY
will never be heard in that dark region
You may call upon him by and by. but
it will be too late.

HINTS ON FEEDING HORSES reply
to correspondent who wants to know
how many pounds of frst-rate English
hay ought to be fed per day. with two
quarts Of meal, to keep in flesh ten
year old horse weighing nine hundred
and fifty pounds, the New England Far
mer says: "Our rule for feeding horses
is to give them enough to fully supply
the wear and tear of the system, and to
keep them looking smooth. No change,
however, is made for an extra hard or
idle day. A horse that is being worked
and fed lightly but which is expected to
do single extra hard days work, as by
going on long journey, should never
be fed an extra amount of either hay or
grain, the night or morning before start
ing. Ten chances to one the extra food
and severe action will produce indiges-
ton and weakness. Make no sudden
changes in the food of any animal if you
would retain them in state of health.
Our own horses seldom eat any hay at
all, but, beside grain, are fed oat or rye
straw and millet. These are cheaper
with US than the best hay. and, with a
judicious allowance of grain give excel
lent results. Horses that are doing
nothing must be fed lightly. and hard
working horses,if fed grain, will digest
straw or hay which it would not be prof
liable to feed to mich cows. Two quarts
of corn meal, with from ten to fifteen
pounds of good hay, should keep a me-
dunn sized horse in good condition wher
not at work. If at work, the grair
should be increased to four or six quarts
The proportion of grain to the hay
should be governed somewhat by tn,
market prices for the two.
