Canaan, Ct, "revealed the fact that
his death was caused by broken neck,
and that he had been living in that con-
dition for some three years as is sup

No, SON, no; you needn't be afraid of
it. just drink tubful of it, if you
wish. No man ever got drunk OF learned
to be drunkard drinking Sunday
school picnic lemonade. You might
get the dropsy, or you might drown

you drunk.

An agricultural paper has an article.
on "Washed and Unwashed Butter"
It says that the markets now demand
that butter shall not only be fresh and
rosy, but be properly worked and
washed. A pound Of butter that comes

washed and its hair combed is not very
inviting, that's fact.-Norristoao

"YoUR house is perfect conserva-
tory, Oldboy," admiringly remarked his
friend, gazing at the beautiful windows,
crowded with blooming plants. "Ah,

smoking meat to preserve it, it is hung
up in q dry, well-ventilated room, and
painted over with wood vinegar (pyro-
igneous acid, an acid distilled over

free access of atmospheric air. The
painting three or four times with this
vinegar answers every purpose Of smok-

fungi, and putrefacton.

offer anything, lest it should cause an

prepare all food in new and tempting
forms. Children sometimes are too Ill
or too sensitive to take sufficient tea to

and stimulate appetite if they are dressed
with sugar, then baked, and pressed to-
gether like figs. ~; u: >aaa j. '..' 81.
