ITS NATURAL ENEMIES.

Among these are the crow. Llackbird, and
several other of our larger wild birds, as well
as domestic fowls which eat the May beetle
with evident relish. But with all these help
ers the farmer and gardener frequently find
the beetles and their grubs far too numerous,
and are compelled, or at least should endeav-
or to lessen their numbers by artificial means
If all the residents of town or neighborhood
would unite in making war upon these pests,
losses from their depredations could be very
materially lessened, if not entirely avoided.

Frying Raw Potatoes.

We thought we knew how to fry raw
potatoes, but we found we were mistak-
EN- when lady friend who came to stop
with us few days convinced us she had
a better way. And such a little differ
ence there was in the cooking of them,
too-to make them so much nicer.-The
secret was in keeping them covered as
they cooked,
The potatoes were washed, pared and
sliced thin, put to fry in spider previ-
ously heated and buttered, the same as
was in the habit of doing; salted to
taste, too, and to think that just keep
ing them covered should make so much
difference and improvement-in the
way of cooking them. They would
come to the table SO crispy and crusted,
with scarcely slice broken, owing to
the care of handling, when being turned
over. Oh they are nice, and taste just
as mothers did at home Exchange.

Girls Read This.

A recent writer to the Womdn's Jour.
nal goes for the banged hair idiots and
handles them without gloves as follows:
"Every day 1 meet III the streets young
ladies, who would otherwise look intel
ligent, reduced to the appearance. of
idiocy by a peculiar method of combing
their hair down over their forehead.
This hideous deformity is evidently
copied from the patients of lunatic
asylums and schools for the feeble min
ded. The effect is shocking. Although
not fastidious, shrink from these ladies
as children shrink from hidous mask.
/ am told that lady thus degraded is
to have her hair banged" But it
seems to me that her sanity must be
sadly banged to thus deform herself"

EB When fruit does harm it is because
it is eaten at an improper time, in
improper quantities, or before it is ripen-
ed and fit for the human stomach. A
distinguished physician has said that if
his patients would make practice of
eating couple of good oranges before
breakfast, from February to June, his
practice would be gone. The principal
evil is that we do not eat enough of
fruit that we injure its finer qualities
with sugar, that we drown them in
cream. We need the medical action of
the pure fruit acids in our system, and
their cooling, corrective influence.

Sleep of Children.

"The Herald of Health" cautions
parents not to allow their children to be
walked up in the morning. Let nature
do it; she will not do it prematurely.
Take care that they go to bed at an early
hour-let it be earlier and earlier, until
it is found that they wake up them
selves in full time to dress for breakfast.

How to Tell Watered MILK.

If people care anything about know
ing whether milksis watered, all they
have to do is to dip well-polished
knitting needle into deep vessel of
milk and withdraw it Immediately in
an upright position. If the milk is pure
some of it will hang to the needle, but
if water is added, even in small proper
tions, the fluid will not adhere.

E%A few handfuls ofgypsum (plaster)
sprinkled around the back door or yard,
will absorb all of the bad odors and
perhaps keep sickness away. We
always save a half barrel of it and
have a dishful on hand in the wood
house for use. Five minutes after it is
spread around, all offensive and sicken-
ing smells will cease. A farmer had
better go hungry than leave these things
unattended to. Whenever he does do
it he is running up an account with the
doctor and very likely will soon be in
debt to the undertaken, and if he doesn't

The Poorest Girl.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them. They
have been taught to despise labor, and
to depend on others for living, and
are perfectly helpless. The most for
lorn and miserable women on earth
belong to this class. 1t belongs to
parents to protect their daughters from
this deplorable condition. They do
them great wrong if they neglect it
Every daughter should be taught to
earn her own living. The rich as well
as the poor require this training.
