Garden Herbs.

II Few things add more to the pleasure
of a thoroughly good cook than to have
a full supply of Kitchen herbs ready to
hand. A little of one thing or another
in this line often makes all the difference
between successful dish and one of
mediocre quality. Every garden should
have few, and where they are wanting
should be looked after at this season. 1
Perhaps the most useful is parsley.
That has to be raised from seed, although
if the fiower-stalks are cut off as they
come up in the summer, the same plants
may be prolonged several seasons 1t
does not go to seed, however, the first
season of sowing; so that if sown early
and gets strong before summer comes, we
can geta pretty good supply of leaves
the first season. The Seeds, however,
take several weeks to terminate, and
should be put in rs early as possible.
Another herb of great service to the best
cooks is the Ieek; kind Of onion which
is no onion, as it makes all tops and little
roots. 1t is not SO strong as the ordinar
onion, and gives delicate flavor to Ger
tain soups and sauces that nothing of the
tribe will do. This also has to be sown
early and on very rich ground. But If
possible the richness should be given to
the ground the previous year. Fresh
and rank manure is unfavorable to good
leek-culture. assF Il ssffsg4ys
Many make good use in winter Of mar
joram and summer savory. These are
raised from seed sowp attthe usual time
in the spring. Sage and thyme are
perennials; but they require an occasion
al pruning or replanting to get them in
the best condition. If left to themselves
they become woody, scrawley and some
what barren of leaves, ii they are not en-
tirely killed by the severity of the winter.
Thyme can be kept in good condition by
being simply sheared down to the ground
or cut back with knife every spring.
This induces good, healthy growth,
which is in excellent condition for use at
any time. Sage is often kept many
years in good condition by simply cutting
back; but often it needs starting quite
anew. This may be done by taking cut
tings Of the old plant and burying them
down deep in the ground so that the tops
of the shoots are barely above the surface
These root very well and soon make
good plants There are other herbs use
full on some occasions; but these are es-
sential to every good garden. German.

When. you want dust pan, have it
made to order, with the handle turning

great convenience, as you do not have to
stoop and hold it while you are sweep

bee culture, says of satnip for bees: eff

This is high authority, and ought to en-
title this common but little utilized pro-
duct of nature to q place among the
valuable things, of the farm. 1t is but
another instance that goes to show that
our people fail to utilize the native re-
sources of their farms as they should.
They have not learned the value of the
things they tread upon and often ruth
lessly destroy.
Here are two recipes for foam sauce,

Number one: Half cup of white sugar,
one-fourth Of a cup Of butter, one table
spoonful of corn starch; mix and beat to
cream, put in ia basin on the stove,
and add boiling water till the sauce is Of
the proper consistency. Number two:
One and one-fourth cup of white sugar,
an equal quantity of butter, the yelk OF
one egg; stir the butter and sugar to a
cream, add the .well-beaten yelk of the
egg, and lastly the white of the egg,
which you have beaten to a stiff froth,
and cup of boiling water.-N. y Post.
To renovate worn out files and
rasps boil the file in very. strong solu-
ton of soda, or, what is still better, soap
boilers soap lees, which removes all the
inherent dirt. It must then be allowed
to remain for about half minute in a
solution composed Of two parts of water
and one part of nitric or muriatic acid;
and after that, washed with water and
slightly brushed over with oil of turpen-
tine. 8 To show the efficiency of the di-
lutte acid in producing keen edge on in
struments, dip therein round pointed
needle, or worn knife, and the result

The kIaa Who Was Scalped.

- The occnpactsof Griswold Street Of

stranger who said he was trying to raise
money to help him on to Vermont, and
when the citizen replied that he had al
ready disposed of seven callers since
morning, the man continued:

Matter Of Fences.


The cost Of fence building is one Of tn
great burdens of civilization. Accord
ing to the census of 1880 it cost during
the year 1879 the sum of 1878, 629, 600 for
building and repairing fences in. this
country. The following States made the
largest outlay for this purpose:

In Nueces County, Texas, 80 900 acres

Armory Hall was packed to Its utmost Gu

speech Of ex-Readjustor Rev. John +. Massey,
the Independent Democratic candidate for
Congressman-a at Large. The political parson
spoke for over two hours. Notwithstanding
the large audience "a great many being present
through curiosity, there was q great lack OF
enthusiasm. All the applause came from the
''heelers," and frequently It was ill.tlmed. For
instance, the speaker mentioned General Ma
hone as the leader OF tho Readjuster party,
and there was Immediately storm OF ap-
plause. Mr.. George A. Mushbach, president
of the Young Mems Democratic Club, pre-
sided, and introduced the "Parson," who first
explained why he was q Readjuster, and then
consumed an hour In telling why he was not n
Read1uster, and why tho "honest' debt paying
Democrats ought to vote for MIN. The old
man concluded by predicting his success in
