HOUSE AND FARM.
Recipes.

FOOD FOR ROsES.-Get some SCOT from
chimney or stove where wood is used fot
fuel, put It iD an old pitcher and pour hot
water on it. When cool use it to water
your plants every few days. When it is all
. used fill up the pitcher again with hot wa
ter. The effect upon roses that have al
most hopelessly deteriorated is wonderful
in producing rapid growth Of thrifty
shoots with large, thick leaves and a great
number of richly-tin roses. Never de-
spair of a decayed bush until this has been
tried.
PERFECTION CAKE One pound of -four,
ono pound of sugar (pulverized), three
quarters of pound of butter, one gill of
sweet milk, one teaspoonful of baking pow
der and eight eggs; sift -four and powder
altogether; mere the butter and sugar to-
gether, until light as feather; beat the
eggs separately, the whites to stiff froth
and the yolks until rich and thick; add
yolks to butter and sugar; then flour, and
lastly the whites of the eggs; beat lightly
until all are we'll mixed, and bake in ordi-
nary cake tins III very slow oven. For
flavor either venilla or lemon may be used.
CINNAMON CAKE.-Two pounds brown
sugar, two pounds -four, ono teaspoonful
baking powder, one pound butter, three
tablespoonfuls cf cinnamon, three eggs
<beaten lightly; mix all well as usual for
cake; roll thin, cut and bake.
COLD SLAw.-Cat a hard head of cab
bage into shreds; sprinkle with salt and put
into saucepan with vinegar and water,
half and hall just to scald it; drain it and
spread on dish to cool; now take bit of
butter the size of walnut and rub it
smoothly with II teaspoonful of flour; to
this add the yolk of an egg and little pep
per; pour small quantity of boiling vine-
gar over this, stirring all the time, and pour
over the cabbage, which set away to cool.

National Bereavment and Mourning.

New York Letter.
The grief of a smitten nation is always
sublime, but in the case of our departed
president it excels everything Of the lind the
world has ever witnessed. From the Attain
tic to the Pacific, from Main t. Mexico, the
vast republic is burdend with grief. This
leads to the remark that prior to the for
nation OF our present constitution national
mourning was unknown in America.
Franklin, who died in 1880, was the first
thus honored, but the death of Washington,
which occurred nine years afterward, was
the first that thrilled the nation to the CEN
ter. Mourning is one of the Oldest of GUS
toms, and has been observed among all
nations. In ancient times, when popular
general died, the troops cut off their hair,
Athens the time of mourning was thirty
days, while in Sparta it was only one third
of that time. Napoleon introduced certain
forms of public mourning, but they
were discontinued after the fall of
the empire. Court mourning in Europe
is prescribed by ceremonials of very
precise nature, and never exceeds six
months. In China, however, it is prolohg-
ed for more than two years, and when the
Emperor dies all his subjects let their hair
grow for three months. Public funerals
have been a feature in society, from the
earliest records. The most expensive in
modern days was that Of the Duke of Wei
lington, which cost the British govern
ment e1OO, ,00O-equal to half million in
our currency. The obsequies of the first
Napoleon, when his remains were removed
from St. Helena to Paris and placed in
Les Invalides. was probably the grandest
1nortuary pageant ever witnessed in Europe.
It was SO impressive and thrilling in it's
scenic effect that Tom Hamblin had it
dramatised for the Bowery theater, where
it had q great run. I Witnessed the per-
formance, and noted it's power over the
audience. This, however, is the only ia
stance in which mortuary occasion was
presented in dramatic form.

the trenches. General Grant stirred him
self, and his aids came out sleepy from
their tents. General Meade with his Or
derly, from his village Of canvas half mile
away, dashes down to the campfire OF
Grant. Consultations are held; orderlies
came riding in, the telegraph wires were
put In action. The argry roar Of cannon
and the shrek of shells die away; the tired
soldier sinks back to sleep. The cricket
resumes his song, the tree-toad his chirp,
the cuckoo calls and answering mate re-
spends. 1t is one of Lees night attacks.
And now, as the army moves around to
Petersburg, I mount for my return trip.
had seen enough of war; had seen it in all
its terrors. Its sickening sights had been
forever daguerreotyped upon my brain, and
into it had been branded as with burning
iron grateful appreciation of the patriotic
service of those gallant men, those unepaul-
cited heroes who had left and home,
and loved ones, and perilled all in defense
of their native and their adopted land.
On my way again paused at the Vir-
ginia farm house, with its wide veranda
and cherry trees. With the freedom of q
former introduction, stopped and entered
through its open door. And there, on the
very lounge upon which had sat and
chaffed my saucy rebel Of sevehteen, lay
wounded soldier in blue, nicely propped
and pillowed, and by his side sat our IT.
reconcilable rebel, reading to him from n
book Of poems, and tanning him. I
bowed and uncovered and laughed, laughed
loud and long, and she, the Yankee-hater,
blushed and flushed, from pink to red,
from red to crimson, from crimson to blue
tho little htpocfite and traitor. What
could she do but blush, as there came back
to her the recollection Of the dreadful
things she had said concerning Yankee off,
GERS, and here I had detected her in the
very act Of playing lninlstering angel to one
of Hancock's handsome captains. He had
been wounded in the Wilderness, and was
being taken to the hospital at Washington.
While the ambulance was passing the door
of the farm his wound broke out afresh,
and it was feared he would die.
He was taken into the farm house.
It would not violate the traditions of its
hospitality even to q wounded enemy, and
not till he had found bed in its best room
and had his wounds dressed, did the rebel
brother recognize the northern soldier who
q year before had borne him through the
darkness of night upon his shoulders to q
place Of safety. He was convalescing and
making love, and she was forgetting home,
country. and patriotism.

best appearance. Besides it is important
for farmers 10 see how fat beef stock, pigs
and sheep that are intended for fattening
purposes can be niadc, because this is the
chief end for which this stock is kept and
valued:
But farmers should be informed of the
real actual value of the improved stock ex.
hiblted at fairs. A difference in the yield
of milk Of four quarts day, even at q
cents a quart, is equal to 1924 year, which
is the interest at per cent. on $500. A
difference of 100 pounds of butter in year
is equal to the same amount. With ten
COWS this counts up pretty fast. A pure
bred Ayreshire or Jersey COW will easily
make this difference in value Of the yearly
product; as there is no extra cost for keep.
ing. tho increase is all profit.

Fancy Stock at Fairs.
E.o,,o $1,a pnro1 Now Vorlro,.

We were ut the agricultural fair when q
farmer and his wife were passing some
cattle pens where herd of fine COWS were
on exhibition. "Oh, John! do look at these
beautiful COWS" said the wife, arresting her
husbands attention and leading MIN to one
of the pens. "Isn't she beauty? What
q biz bag she has; and what beautiful yell
low skin. Why could we not have some
COWS like that?" "Oh, come along, re-
piled the farmer, ''those COWS are not for
US; they are fancy stock, only good for
show"
There the young farmer made grievous
mistake. Everything to be seen at fairs is
fer the farmer. But he must not be mis-
led by the appearance of the animals on
exhibition. They are made to look their
best by every art of the breeder. The tails
are often tied up at night in wet straw
bands to make them appear thin; the horns
are scraped and sand -papered and waxed;
the hide is washed with
colorde water to make the
skin yellow, and the hair is washed and
oiled to make it shine. The COWS and bulls
are fed plenty of rich feed. md come to the
show in SHOW condition" This is all
reasonable and unobjectionable. A fair is
intended to please by its attractivenap, and
We expect to see everything put on i@ very
