Nor FoRuorrEN.-One Of the pleas
ing features Of Memorial Day was the
manner iu which the "Abssnt Ones"
were remembered. A beautiful temple,
made Of laurel and cypress and hung
with flowers, and containing tablets upon
which were inscribed tho name ofevery
soldier. as far ts could be ascertained,
from this county, who dice or was killed
during the war, and whose remains are
not buried 10 our cemetery, was erected
at conspicuous place, and was the OBJ
served of all observers. As old soldiers
would read over the list OF names still
familiar them, their minds would revert
to other days, and their eyes moisten as
they recalled thebright faces and manly
forms Of thoso whom they knew and
loved 80 well. Verify
"Years may 20.
But our tears shall flow
Der the dead who died in vain for u.s."

pans; bake it, and when done open the
cakes, and butter both the inside and
outside layers; have your strawberries
nicely picked and sugared before you
prepare the dough, in order to have
plenty of juice; spread your berries in
both the upper and lower layer, putting
one layer on top of the other; set it
again in the oven for few minutes, not
long enough to cook the berries.
CREAM RASPBERRY TART.-Raspber-
ries make a delicious tart. First line
your dish with paste and fill with berries,
and cover with powdered sugar. Cover
with paste and bake, but be careful and
not press the top paste down at the edges.
Now, when done, you can easily raise
the top paste, which should be thick.
In another dish have small cup of
milk, or half cream. heated to boil. the
white of two eggs beaten and stirred illSo
the milk, a tablespoon of sugar, and a
half teaspoonful of corn starch wet in
milk. Let these boil together few
minutes, and then stand until they are
perfectly cool. Pour this mixture upon
your fruit, replace the top crust and
serve cool, with sugar sprinkled over the
top. This recipe is good for strawberry
cream tarts, substituting Strawberries
in place of raspberries. This makes a
beautiful dish. ...

Daniel w ebster as He Went to Church.

Of Daniel Webster, when he visited
Wheeling with his wife and daughter, an
old inhabitant writes to the IntelHgencer
Of that city: That massive man who
seemed to loom up above all the Others,
who inspired one with his majesty Of
person, with his voice. with the flash of
his deep-set, dark hazel eye, and with his
every movement, was not really large
man-in height he was only about five
feet ten inches. His mead looked very
large, but there were many as large. He
wore e hat. Mr.. Clay's looked much
smaller, but was of the same size. His
shoulders and chest were very large, that
was all: he tapered to small hips and
very small hands and feet. He weighed
very little, if any, over 300 pounds. He
remained in Wheeling over Sunday and
attended the Rev. DR.. Weeds church on
Fourth street, where he said he heard a
very good sermon. It was amusing to
see him and his family going to church.
He went ahead with that never-to-be-
forgotten tramp, placing his foot down
though he intended it to stay there.
There was no elasticity in his legs, and
apparently there were no bones, heel or
instep in his feet. His wife, not much
for beauty, came about rod behind,
with much the same tramp. Miss Kate
went a rcd behind her with more of good
grace and less of the tramp, but she was
| very hard to keep step with, and if the
daisies OF Marshfeld would rise unhurt
from under her feet they are harder than
any have seen"

Place the cage so that no draught Of
air can strike the birds. Give nothing
to healthy birds but rape and canary
seed, water, cuttlefish bone and gravel
paper or sand Oh the floor of the cage.
No hemp seed. A bath three times a
week. The room should not be over
heated-never above seventy degrees.
When moulting Shedding feathers) keep
warm, avoid all draughts of air. Give
plenty of German rape seed; little
hard-boiled egg, mixed with crackers
grated fine, is excellent. Feed at a GER
tain hour in the morning. BY observing
these simple rules birds may be kept in
fine condition for years. For birds that
are sick or have lost their song, procure
bird tonic at a bird store. Very many
keen birds who mean to give their pets
all things to make them bright and
happy, and at the same time are guilty
of great cruelty in regard to perches.
The perches in a cage should be each one
of different size, and the smallest AS
large as a pipe stem. If perches are of
the right sort no trouble is ever had
about the birds toe-nails growing too
long. And of all things keep the perches
clean.-Fancier.

Stacking Glover.

In stacking clover at least six quarts
Of salt should be scattered through every
ton as it is laid up. 1t is important that
the center of the stack bottom, when the
rails or poles are laid, should be raised
twelve or fourteen inches higher than
the outer edge There isnothing in hay
making that pays better than to make a
good stack foundation, especially for
clover hay. In building the stack keep
the center solid and high; and the out
side comparatively loose, and rake down
well. If one desires to ventilate use a
sack, say eighteen inches in diameter and
four or five feet long; fill it with chatf
or some light material, place it upright
in the center on the foundation of the
stack and build up around it. AS the
stack rises, the sack must be drawn up,
leaving a hole in the center from the
bottom to the top which should be prop
erly capped over to prevent the rain
from getting in. In conclusion, the
writer is prepared to admit that hay
made of grass after the seeds and the
stalks are fully matured, will last longer
than that made as suggested above. Old
straw or brush will last still longer-per-
haps longer than the cattle.-Lor. Farm

The Hon. Norton S. Townsend, of
Ohio State University, Columbus, is en-
gagged in a series of interesting expert
ments with the ripening wheat for the
purpose of ascertaining by microscopic
examination at what stage of ripening it
should be cut. 1t is regarded by farmers
in many localities as the most profitable
course to harvest the grain so early that
none Of it will shell out in the operation.
1t is found that winter flour is produced
when this is done; but it is also found
that the flour docs not "rise" as we'll as
that which is made from the matured
grain. A succession of microscopic ex-
aminations conducted through the period
between the attainment of full size by
the kernel and the perfect ripening Of
the grain, is expected to yield valuable
economical information as to these points.

Cincinnati has pretty romance of a
poor Young girl The heroine was an in
telligent but unpretending girl, who was
forced by circumstances to work for a
living. She sewed in store at a salary
so meagre, and with work so laborious,
that she gladly accepted a position as
waiter girl in popular clearinghouse.
She had previously been offered a posi-
ton as governess, but preferred the 9th
er. The only advantage the boarding
house afforded over the store was that of
family sympathy. Among the boarders
was one probably as poor as herself, He
was advertising solicitor for city paper,
with very moderate income. Believ-
ing themselves poor but yet able to keep
the wolf from their door, an attachment
sprang up, which developed into an en-
gagement. The course of love did not
run smoothly. There were doubts of
faithfulness, and consequent quarrels,
until few days ago, the young lady
learned that she had fallen heir to an
estate in Germany worth 100000. Her
heart was true to him. They were mar
ried right away.
