as in decent coat or with nicely-or-
.dered hair; but the atmosphere, so to
speak, of the table will be far more
agreeable and refined in one case than
in the other. The simple formality of
putting on a coat and brushing the hair
has Il tendency to eXalt the meal from a
mere feeding process into festival,
not only for eating and drinking, but
for the interchange of social cOurteSies
and pleasant words. Of course, no
amount of outside polish can do this
unless the members of the family have
it in them to be courteous and agree
able; but, given the disposition, the
dressing up for the table has its effect
and no small one, too--in transmit
inc the inward feeling into outw ard ac-
ton.
With regard to the behavior at table
a contributor to the EUeRlng Post gives
some excellent hints, of which the fol
lowing are the chief:
cit is impossible to estimate properly
the immense influence which is eXerted
upon household by the atmosphere OF
the family table. A neat, well-ordered
table is in itself lesson to the children.
To the inviting table, where there should
be always something attractive, howev-
er simple the meal may be, most chill
dren will come prepared to behave prop
erly.
h" 1t really is worth while, and when
philosophically considered is matter
of great importance, to lay aside as far
as possible all thoughts of the hard work
done before and to be done after meal
and to allow no yexatious questions to
be discussed at this time, The habit
of brooding over our work and exhaust
ing ourselves by going it all over in our
minds is one to be studiously avoided.
There is nothing which takes from ones
energy more than this, and it is a fire.
quent cause of insanity. Everybody
knows that food digests better when
eaten in agreeable company. 1t was
something more than pleasantly which
made friend remark that he could not
have his wife and child pass the sum-
mer vacation away from him, as it gave
him dyspepsia. The poor child who
comes to grief at the table and is sent
away from it with his dinner half eaten,
and who suffers the whole afternoon
with an undigested lump of food in his
stomach, is to be pitied.
" 1t follows, then, that pleasant sur
prises IN the way of preparing favorite
dishes, that good taste and much pain
stalking in arranging all the appoint
ments of the table and dining room, rise
above q mere ministering to the animal
existence, and affect the fine issues OF
life. Good behavior and cheerfulness
ought to accompany each meal as nat,
urally and unvaryingly as bread and
butter. The happy laughter which dis
tributes nervous force and calls the
blood from the brain, allowing the
stomach to get its share, should be
heard more frequently at our tables.
No one should feel at liberty to say one
word which is not at least kind and
thoughtful, any more than he would
withhold a sufficient quantity Of food"

Preserving Cider.

1t is the habit of some people to use
poor apples for cider, but pure, sweet
article can only be obtained from good,
clean, sound fruit. Hair-cloth, or gun
ny, is better than straw for the juice to
pass through, and as the cider runs
from the press, let it pass through a
hair sieve into large vessel. After it
has stood a few hours, small white bub-
bles will be observed coming to the sur
face, through the pomace collected on
top of the juice. Draw off the latter
through a spigot two or three inches
from the bottom of the vessel, into
clean casks, and when bubbles appear at
the bung-hole, rack it again. Three
rackings are usually required, before
the juice is put into barrels, and at the
last racking, about half pint of warm
sweet oil, and half pound of glucose,
are added to produce a fine article of
cider. Place the cask in cool place
and let it stand until the flavor is what
is desired, when the cider is put
into clean barrels previously pre-
pared in the following manner:
Take clean strips of rags and
dip them in melted sulphur; burn them
in the bung hole of the barrel, laying
the bung loosely on the end of the rag
to retain the fumes of the sulphur in the
barrel Put a pound of mustard seed
(secured in a coarse muslin bag) in the
barrel and add also a pound of fisinglaSs
or fine gelatine, dissolved in hot water.
The cider will keep sweet long time
treated in this way. 1t must be keptin
a cool place.
A later method of keeping cider
sweet, employed by professional cider
makers, is by the use of calcium sui
phite, or sulphite of lime and besides
being more convenient it has been
found to be as equally effective as the
sulphur vapor and mustard. The pre-
liminary steps in each case are the
same To each gallon of cider in the
cask, add from an eighth to quarter
of an ounce of sulphite, first mixing the
latter in quart of the cider, then
pouring it into the cask and thoroughly
mixing by rolling the cask about. In
a weeks time, or less, the sulphite will
have impaired its preserving qualities
to the cider, when the latter may be
bottled off. Sulphite (not sulphate) of
lime may be obtained of druggists, and
costs about forty cents pound by the
barrel. Iftoo much is added, a sui
phurous taste will be impaired to the
cider.-Prdnte Farmer.

How TO Make a Cold Frame.

THE following note from Mr.. c. A.
MacBean will answer the inquiry OF a
correspondent who wishes to know how
to construct a cold frame for keeping
plants through the winter: "a cold
frame intended for wintering Towering
plants is made by excavating the soil
from two to threefeet deep, wide enough
for the regular six-foot hot-bed sash,
and of suitable length. The pit thus
formed is lined with either brick, stone
or boards. The lining should extend
four to six inches higher than the earth
line on the south side, and from six to
ten inches higher on the north. Pits can
be made to fit other sizes of sash, but
the regular hot-bed sash is regarded as
most suitable. A sheltered and we'll
drained spot should always be selected
in building a frame. Plants intended
for cold frames should be well-rOOted in
the pots before placing them in the pit,
in the bottom of which should be placed
quantity of some loose material, as
tanbark, leaves or sawdust, in which
the pots should be plunged. Warm
mats or other good coverings are need
ed for severe weather; but air and sun
shine should be admitted on every pos
sible occasion. Slight waterings on fine
days during the winter will be necessary.
One writer recommends making the cold
frame from five to six feet in depth. y

"A woman who gave her name as
Margaret Irvine who had been arrested
while wandering about, on account OF
her peculiar manner, was handed over
to the parochial authorities at Greenock,
Scotland, to be taken care of until her
friends could be communicated with.
The woman declared that she was in re-
ceipt of commands from the Almighty
to do some most extraordinary things,
including serious mutilation of her body;
On the way to Greenock she passed
through Glasgow, and while on the
green there she, in obedience to these
" commands cut her hands in fear

the nails off her toes, and otherwise
committed frightful mutilation upon her
limbs and body. At the Police Court
she was in a very exhausted condition,
and her limbs were bound up so that
she could scarcely make use of them in
natural manner.

Table Manners.

To those who merely "eat to live,"
it may seem q matter of small conse-
quence how one is dressed when he
comes to the table, or how he behaves
during the meal. But very little
thought ought to convince the most
careless person who is not altogether
"of the earth, earthly that good man
ners at the table are preferable to bad
manners and that it is conducive alike to
comfort and a sense of L" the fitness of
things" that the members of the fami-
ly should come to the daily repasts, not
only with clean hands and face, but
neatly attired. The few moments
spent in preparation for the table are
not time misspent. On the contrary,
the slight loss of time is more than made
up by the increased charm of the fami-
ly gathering. One can eat as heartily
in shirt-Sleeves" or with towsled locks

his necktie, his shirt studs and collar button,

A Romantic Match.

A Boston bookseller tells very ro-
mantle story as follows: At one time |
had prepared boxes of fancy paper with
fancy initial or pet name embossed in
it, and | put this up at one dollar a box
and advertised it widely. One day |
had an order from California, from a
Miss Susie -. The box was done up,
addressed to her and lay about here
when young Englishman came in and
wanted to write q letter. ! gave him
the materials and place, when his eye
caught the address on this box.
Have you the order that came for
that box of paper?n he asked.
Yes" replied, " it is about some
where"
Would you mind sending it up to
my hotel? If it is what think shall
leave for California tonight" "
found it and sent around and heard
no more about it for perhaps three
months, when one day the young man,
with lady on his arm, walked in. Il
want to present you to my wife," he
said. 1--WE could not leave this coun-
try till we had thanked you for your
part in bringing us together" The de-
nouement was quite a romance. The
young man was the son OF an aristo-
cratic family and the girl the daughter
of the gardener. But love levels all
distinctions, and the young man iels Lhls
girl to be the chosen companion of his
life. To break off the attachment his
father had sent him to the continent
and dispatched the gardener and his
pretty daughter to America, where the
young man had followed them, ignorant
Of their address, and at last finding it
through the chance of the box of paper.

There has been lately turned out at
Milan new kind of bread made with
blood from raw flesh. 1t is said to be a
preventive of scurvy, and to do away
among peasants with all desire for alco,
holic drinks. The difficulty OF blood
coagulation being overcome, the "blood
bread" will last for years. Twenty per
cent. of its ingredients consists in blood,
its cost is only two-thirds of cent per
loaf, and it is more nutritious than the
ordinary loaveS at one cent each.
