USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Cows and cattle at pasture need
more salt than on dry hay.
"A new disease, called paralysis of
the throat, has appeared among the
horses in the vicinity of Boston to some
extent. There have been but few
deaths, although the disease is dan
gerous. The muscles of the throat be-
come inflamed so that the animal is un-
able to swallow.
delicious Pumpkin Pie.-Pumpkin
the size Of a two-quart bowl, steamed
and sifted, three pints of milk, one cup
OF cream or two tablespoonfuls of butter,
four eggs, quarter of teaspoonful Of
cinnamon, the same of ginger, half
nutmeg, sugar and salt to suit the taste.
Bake in slow oven one hour and q
half.
Dishes should always be rinsed in
clear, hot water after having been
washed in soap-suds. Nothing Is more
unpleasant at the table than to notice
. certain sickness that the soap is
likely to leave. It is necessary also
from sanitary point of view; the
caustic alkali is corrosive and unwhole-
some, and the grease is often impure.
Green Tomato Pickle.-One peck
green tomatoes, three onions, six green
peppers; chop fine; squeeze the wafer
of through colander; salt to taste; put
on enough vinegar to. scald up once;
then let It cool, and drain off the vine
gar. Make q dressing of one cup
sugar, one-quarter of a pound of ground
mustard, two teaspoonfuls black pep
no VsySfh vySo m In
whole; heat and pour over.
Grape Catsup.-Five pounds of
fruit, three pounds of coffee sugar, one
pint of vinegar, one tablespoonful of
cinnamon, one of allspice, one of black
pepper, one-half of cloves, all ground,
and one-half of salt. Pulp the grapes
and boil the skins in clear water until
tender; boil the pulps separately, and
strain to remove the seeds. Mix your
spices in little cold vinegar; put all
together, and boil about five minutes.
This is excellent. The recipe will
answer for any sour fruit.
Cooking Hard-shelled Squashes.-
These, like all the varieties of the
squash, are usually prepared for the
table by removing the cooked squash
from the shell, seasoning with pepper,
salt and butter, and transferring the
mushy mass into dish. This is all
mistake; no one knows the rich luscious
ness of a fine Butman, Marblehead or
Hubbard, if it has been served in this
style. The MASKING of the squash
utterly destroys its fine grain, and we
might as reasonably expect mealy po-
tato to show its dryness under like ma
nipulation. Again, the old saying,
1.-THE nearer the bone the sweeter the
meat" holds emphatically true in APP
plication to the hard-shelled squash
the nearer the shell, the richer the
squash. Very likely your little girl or
boy has found out all about it, and is
in the habit of scraping out the shells
with spoon as cook lays them aside.
The true way to bring all the hard
shelled squashes to table is to bring
them on in the dishes nature made for
them-their shells. Cut the pieces
before cooking to a size to serve entire;
cook them by steam, and after remov-
ing any stringy portion from the sur
face. bear them to table without any
further manipulation.

"But there hangs q tale'' thinking
aid. laughing heartily.
At parting, Martha said: "Do come
out and stay with us awhile and get re-
cruited; you look so worn out and
weary, auntie."
"Come often and bringthe children"
added Gerald.
They gave glad assent, for their hard
pride was all swept away; and those
who came to pity went away almost
plying themselves.
Gerald and Martha sought out the
best and easiest methods for doing their
work and systematized it. They never
used up their vitality by long-continued,
exhaustive labor; and whereas many of
their neighbors arose in the morning
with too little strength or animation to
do good days work. they retained the
vig0r, zest and ready accomplishment
of youth. Martha, although she pro-
vided nourishing food for the family.
yet did not waste her precious time in
making pastry or rich dishes to tempt
the appetite beyond its needs, and
thereby she saved to herself many
priceless hours. Although with ideas
far beyond their neighbors, yet they
did not obtrude them. Still, if called
upon, they were not afraid to express
their opinions against the popular one,
which was that all time not spent in
work was squandered, and that money
and good cheer were the chief end Of
man.
''Life thus SPENT" said Martha. sis
little higher than that of the brute, and
will pass in weary repinings; whereas,
if spent as God intends that it should
be, from the midst of labor a PRAYER of
thanksgiving will flow from our hearts
increasingly"
Martha was always glad to give ad-
vice to the inexperienced housewife, to
lift load from the weary sister; for
many said to her, II do not see how
you manage" Yet this wise and skill
full matron did not become egotistical
in her superior knowledge, but said
that she was blessed by nature with
strength and health, and that by tenn
perate habits and prudence she had
preserved the same. ''And that" she
said, is the charm that brings happi-
ness"
"When time filled the house with
rosy boys and girls, she and Gerald were
not all nerves and irritability, but even
amongst their grandchildren were hale
and hearty, and able to enjoy with
fresh hearts their youthful pleasures;
and Martha in her beautiful old age
was beloved as in her youth. Wonsan's

Truly we are fearfully and won
derfully made" and not one law of our
being can we violate without suffering
the penalty. Little by little we must
learn what these laws are; and after we
do learn, many tottering steps must be
taken before we can, without falling,
walk firmly. A great step IS taken
when people begin to think for them
selves, to use their common sense, to
know that in some way every day they
are abusing their bodies" the temple

"Wanied. THREE competent men 10 Gil
vacancies on the editorial staff of the
OIL City Daily Derrick" The aal cir
.cminatances which called out the above
advertisement are NJ follows - In yes
trtlay's editorial column appeared
notice that u man named Shores had
married his step daughter, who was al
50 hin cousin. being an unolc's daughter
by his (Shore's) deceased wife's former
marriage. The city editor very thought
iesaly asked, "What relation would the
children by this Iaarriage and their
children sustain to their parents ?" The
whole force attempted TO solve the
problem, " ith terribieresults. "In the
first place" said the city editor, "the
children wonld he their fathers and
mothers second cousins and their
grandfather would be their granduncle
by their fathers side, while their grand
mother would be their grand.aunt and
also step mother, as well as their fathers
wife. Hence, they'd be their own
children gracious twice nothing is
nothing and two to carry" And then
he tried to stab himself with copy
book. The night editor said Gas he
married his wife's daughter, the mother
is sister to her own children, and her
husband must be their brother-in.law /;
and if he their brother-in.law, being
also a cousin to his wife, her children
are his second cousins, and he must be
cousin to her husband, SO he's his own
cousin, anil being his own cousin he
must have been also his cousins, and
his uncles and his aunts and 80 do
his cousins, and his" And right
here it became necessary to fasten the
night editor into his chair, where he
sits wildly repeating, "and 80 do his
uncles, and his cousins, and his aunts,
hopeless idiot. Then the editor at
tackled it, and in two minutes he made
the children their own mothers-in-law,
and one of them he declared was her
own grandmother, after which he was
delivered up to the police for safe keep
ing. The problem was taken mp by
the "comps," and in half an hour every
man was sitting with staring eyes, fig
uring with his finger on the back Of his
hand, and swearing Shores had married
his great grandmother without license
while the devil jumped out Of the win
dow, under the impression he was his
own ancestor.
