printed for them set Of seven beautf-
III! cards, each in six colors aud on q
$old background, In the very highest
degree of art, illustrating Shakspeare's
"Sevcn Ages Of Man." We have spared
no expense In these cards-they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
mas been to publish the finest cards yet
shown. Applications for them have
whole edition Is engaged before the
receipt by us OF the cards from the
artist. We have therefore been obliged
to adopt the following plan for the dis
trlbutlon OF the remainder: No more

has bought of him on chat day at least
seven bars of Dobbins' Electric Soap,
with price paid for same. All app ly-
Ing In this manner O.H receive the full
set OF seven cards yratis by mail. This
WILL insure us that our friends and

CLEANLINESS IN TUE Cow STABLE.-
Neally all the COWS one sees now are
dishgurcd and detilcd about the Quart
ers with filth. Such things ought not
80 to be, nor need they be so. Stables
can easily be SO arranged as to keep the
COWS more clcanly and comfortable and
to make the milking, to say the least,
more agreeable job. We have seen
COWS, ana cows we would dislike to be
obliged to milk, and which we could
not ask cleanly, respectable persons to
milk. Ordinary carelessncss and SLOW

In COW stables, 1t is past the endurance
OF decent people. These remarks will

men, but if they pinch, there Is a
way to make them fit casy and comfort

MACRDo1EE OF FRUITs.-This Is made
with any kind of fruits, however, Jelly
made with champagne or sherry Is
preferable. Any OF the delicate fruits
of the season, such as grapes, cherries,
peaches, strawberries, raspberries,
mulbcrries, currants (on their stems)
piums and orange sections, or pre-
served fruits, such as branded cher
ries, peaches, etc. ,are tasteful imbedded
in the jelly, so rs to show their forms
and colors to best advantage. A fine
bunch of Hamburg, or Of Malaga
grapes is exceedingly pretty, incorpo-
rated whole into a clear champagne
jelly; it should be suspended with Il
small thread In the center Of the jelly
molds, and the jelly poured in when
quite cold, though not set. The bunches
Of grapes are in this way much more
easily embedded than other fruits. In
the latter case, the mold is set on Ice
a little jelly is poured in, and, when
set, some fruits are arranged in cir
Gle or according to taste; more jelly
poured in anu loft to harden again
more fruit added, and thus continued
until the mold Is full. DO not heat the
jelly u second time; merely keep it in
warm place, awaiting that on the ice
to harden.

CHRRRY TREEs.-A few words OF
advice in planting out and protecting
cherry trees may not be out OF place at
this time, when people are making up
their lists OF fruit trees, for transplan-
ting the approaching spring There
Is no tree that requires moro careful
handling and setting and attention
than the cherry. Frequently those be-
Ing transported from Il long distance
suffer sufficient injury to render them
unfit for planting, In our own cxpc-
rience we have met with repeated loss
In this way. The worst Of the disap-
pointment is, that after being set out
the tree will give just enough signs OF
growing to Induce one to let 1t stand
until tho whole summer and fall arc
past, thus depriving us Of two oppor-
tunlties to throw it out and plant an
other in its place. In all such eases
we would advise in the first place the
cutting oil Of nearly the whole of the
top.anu then II it does not in the course
OF few weeks give decided evidence
OF fresh growth, 10 remove it entire
ly. We have saved several by this
sharp pruning, which are now fine,
healthy trees.
But, In the first place, set out no
cherly tree that has not full supply
Of roofs, especially OF small ones, ana
the stem of which is not FREQ from Gruis-
es, from achich they sViI not recover. Set
Win the most care, spreading out the
roots their full length, and stake them
1lrmly but 80 that they will not rub by
the action OF the wind. Thon cut
away all supertluous top branches OF
which each one must judge for himself
ana DC careful that IN digging and
grubblng about the trees no injury is
uone to The roots or bark.

IFany part OF the body gets frozen,

not, use the coldest possible water.
Last winter our little boy of five years

cried all the way home, and the case
seemed pretty bad. l brought big

rubbing them with the snow. But my
hands could not stand the cold. l was
alarmed to see him keep his feet In tho
snow so long, but he could not bear
them out Of it. 1t was halt an hour
before he would take the N out,
and then the pair was all gone, and
when l had wiped them dry and rub
bed them little, he was entirely COM

afterwards had any trouble with his
feet on account OF this freezing. His
sister got her feet extremely cold, and
put them at once to the fire. Her case
at first was not 80 bad as her broth er's
but the result was much worse. Her
feet were very tender all winter, and
she suffered from chilblains. Her toes
had swollen purple LOOK, and she had
