A child's Dying Wish.

Detroit Free Press: At one of
the public schools in the north
western part af the city the pupils
are spurred to good behavior and
study by cards of merit, day of
perfect behavior and study being
recognized by a fanciful small card
Twenty-four of those cards entitle
the pupil TO one larger and more
card. Among the pu-
pills was a sweet little girl seven
years OF age, whose pretty ways
and devotion TO her lessons had won
for her the love and admiration of
all her school associates, and at the
close of each day her name was
certain to be read from the roll OF
honor. A few days since her seat
at school was noticed to he vacant
and regrets we're expressed on all
sides, as il was the first absent
mark against her. The next day
one of her little school-mates
brought word that she was detained
1T home by illness. On the third
day the teacher received the fol
lowing note: my darling little
girl Is very sick, and, as / fear, is
lying. She has received twenty

Hints for Young Houseksepers.

Every closet and room in house
should be thoroughly inspected once
a week.
Newly ground flour which has
never been packed is very superior
to barrel -four.
In roasting meats do not salt be-
fore putting in the oven, as salt ex
tracts the juice.
In warm weather put your eggs in
cold water some time before you are
ready to use them.
Lemons may be kept fresh a long
time in a jar of water, changing the
water every morning.
"A true test of eggs is to drop
them in water, and if the large end
comes up they are not fresh.
Hams wrapped in thick brown
paper and packed in a barrel OF
wood ashes in the cellar will keep
all summer. 1-
To test nutmegs prick them with
pin, and if they are good the oil
will instantly spread around the
puncture.
Bar soap when first bought
should be cut in squq-e pieces and
put in dry place. 1t lasts better
after shrinking.
New Orleans or other good brown
sugar is best for raised fruit and
wedding C kes. 1t should be
coarse grained and clean.
Always prepare Sundays dinner
on Saturday, if possible, that do
mestics may enjoy the Sabbath day
as well as yourself.
The small white sage called pearl,
is the best. The large brown kind
has an earthly taste. 1t should al
ways be kept in a covered jar or box.

two Of the small cards q! merit,
aud has asked me TO send TO you
to see if you will not send her one
of the larger cards. as she is sure
she would have been awarded the
two cards necessary to receive the
larger one had che been able to at
tend school," The note was read
to the pupils, and for a time the
scene presented in that school
room was most affecting. Not on
ly was one large card sent TO the
dying pupil, out eight of them
were taken to her by her teacher,
and those cards-the full compile
ment possible for the term-wele
with the child and seem ed source
of infinite comfort to her up to the
time of her death. The child was
buried on Thursday, and prominent
among the many decorations upon
the little casket were the cards of
of merit, pathetically typical of the
buried hopes, joys and ambitions
of the little one whose last dreams
were of success.

Enrichinr Orchards.

Any farmer who has been accus
toned to raising apples, aid has
been uniformly successful, viii
doubtless say that if he expects TO
get good crops he treats the or
chard as he does for any other
crop. He manures it, and he finds
that a manure that will do for most
other crops, will do for crop of
apples. 1t is the neglect to manure
orchards at all that causes them to
bear so poorly and the trees to look
in bad condition. There is nothing
better than wood ashes for or
chards, if we had the ashes; but
nearly everybody burns coal, except
in certain out-of-the way places, and
we must therefore resort to some
thing else. Next to wood ashes,
there is no fertilizer better than
barn yard manure. A liberal appi
cation OF this, if only once IN three
years, with careful pruning and
scraping of the trees, and ferreting
out the borers and all other insects
which lay concealed under the
bark, will soon make a change in
the productivencss of the orchard.
October and November are the best
months to apply the manure and to
give the trunks of the trees q good
scraping of of old bark. If the
trunks are washed with whale oil
soap, say one pound to bucket of
water. there would not be many in
sects left alive after the operation.

Houses for Poultry.

In order to make poultry more
profitable to their keepers, says the
Michigan Farmer, it is indispensa-
bic that they should be properly
housed. Amateurs, whose object is
to improve the breeds in every pos
sible way, and to produce birds of
rare beauty, and the novice who en-
tertains bright hopes of reward by
choice section of prime stock,
should not grudge the trifing ex-
pense necessary to fit up comforta-
BILE houses for the accommodation
of their favorite pets.
Often we have seen, in our short
journeys into the country, comfort
able, home-like residences, sur
rounded with ranaries and barns,
and various erections for storing
worthless rubbish, and not even a
vestige of what might be called a
poultry house to be seen about
these homesteads. We do not adj
vocate costly and elaborate build
ings. We like to see them, and do
appreciate the taste and hberality
of the faDcier or breeder who de-
signs them. But for the beginner
and for the farmer we naturally
leave the costly buildings to one
side and recommend cheaper houses
A comfortable house may be
built, say 16 feet long, 8 feet wide,
8 feet front, and feet back, board
ed upright and battened, with a
shed roof shing led; the floor to be
made by filling in with mellow loan
to the top of the underpinning-
The building may be divided into
Gwo compartments, with partition
and doors across the middle; the
south front should have two win
dows of six lights of Sx10 glass;
the east, one window. Ventilators
should be fixed at the highest point
on each end. Roosts not over two
feet high, some nest boxes and a
dust bin. And now you have a
comfortable place for thirty fowls
at a cost ofuot over $50.

MAKING a Woman Raautiful.
