81. Agatha's Cross.

An illuminated cross has been raised on the
top Of the steeple on St. Agatha's Catholic
church, in Philadelphia, at a height of 1855
ieet, It is made entirely Of metal and glass,
IL feet high by six feet across the arms. The
frame is of iron, highly ornamented and
gilded, and holds encased one-quarter inch
plate glass, 10 inches wide, making the cross
to all appearances 2 glass one with gold
edges. Inside the cross gas pipe, with a
number Of burners, is connected with pipe
carried up through the steeple, and the light
ing will be by electricity. This great cross Of
IRE will be. visible for miles at night, and
during the day will doubtless reflect the sun
light with brilliant effect.

Jones Bros. & Co., st. Louis, Mo. This ex-
tenSive work has connected historical value
as we'll as thrilling narrative interest. The
author is perspicuous and dramatic writ
er, and carries each recital forward to an
absorbing climax. The hundred engrev-
ings are not only well drawn, but are full
of thought, suggestion and feeling. The
work is written in the best, most graphic,
historical style, which, combined with the
intensely interesting facts detailed, will
hold the attention of the reader through
out. No other book on Pioneer Life APP
preaches it in vividness of description,
purity and vigor of style, accuracy of de-
TAIL and fascination of the story. The ex-
cellent Introduction by DR.. Ridpath, writ
ten in his proverbially accurate and fasci-
mating manner, is a good contribution to the
volume. The publishers, who are an old and
reliable firm, want agents to take orders for
the work. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Winter Quarters for Swine.

Those who keep a stock of hogs
through the winter should not try to do
SO in quarters that are not perfectly
comfortable, for two reasons. First,
because the health of the hog is endan-
gered, and second, because it costs more
to produce a pound of pork when the
hog is not kept in a comfortable cOndi-
ton in cold weather.
When we look back to our bOvhood
days, and call to mind some of our visits
to farmers who kept their hogs where
the wind swept through at a speed Of
twelve miles an hour, we can hardly re-
press a shudder. But fortunately
great PROCESS has been made in not only
providing our animals with more COM
Portable quarters, but also ourselves.
Still, the question of what is to be done
for the winter protection of the animals
presents itself to us every year, and we
should make it our business to, from
year to year, make such repairs and i'm
provements as our Judgment shall sug-
gest. Whenever we find that there is
chance for a current of air to pass
through upon the hogs, or other ami
mails, it should be stopped, and there
should also be provision made for keep
ing out the snow and rain.
One of the mistakes which is too often
made in providing winter quarters for
hogs is in permitting too much water to
accumulate where the hogs stay most Of
the time. While hogs may not be in
jured in warm weather by wallowing in
the water, there is danger in cold wealth
er, even though in quarters where the
water does not freeze. Hogs should
have good dry bed to resort to, even
in warm weather, but in the winter it is
more important, because of the danger
of the hogs taking cold.
Another mistake is very often made
by keeping hogs in dark cellar, where
the ammonia that comes from the ma
nure often seriously interferes with the
health of the hogs. Light and pure air
are very important for the health of not
only the human race, but also for all of
the domestic animals.
When we are able to get the most
profit from our domestic animals, we
Shall have learned to keep them in quar-
tiers where they can be both comfortable
and healthy. 1t is only the rich man
that can afford to keep cattle in quarters
where they are uncomfortable and I'M

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

California horticulturists are inter-
esting themselves in the fig culture
"A Nebraska farmer feeds his hogs
fnely-cut hay, and considers it good
food for them,
1t is a good plan to pillow or spade
up the poultry yard once a month
through the SIMMER. 1t gives the fowls
fresh earth in which to dust themselves,
to say nothing of the worms and gravel
so necessary to them.-SG72 FRANCISCO
Chronicle.
"A nice dish for breakfast is made
by cutting pork tenderloins in thin
slices; stew them in water till they are
nearly done; then put little butter in
a saucepan, and fry them till light
brown; serve them on buttered toast,
mashed potatoes and raw tomatoes
sliced thin-N. z. Post.
The seine Irvine that now comes in
varied colors may be used to good adj
vantage in making stand covers and
tides. A pink tidy with black velvet
ribbon run through the open spaces is
pretty. The ends of the black velvet
should be pointed, and ball of pink
and black put on each point.
-Moles may be removed by the fol-
lowing method: Seat the patient in a
clear, strong sunlight. With a sun
glass costing from two dollars and fifty
cents to five dollars bring the concen-
trated rays of the sun to bear on the
eXcrescences five or ten minutes, In
three or four weeks the mole will scale
oft and new skin come on. If the
mole should not be entirely removed by
the first application, repeat. No scar
will be left. This is vouched for by a
physician who has tried it repeatedly
~ 7. Tribune.
One way to economic and to pro-
duce excellent results in cooking is to
use suet in place of butter or lard. For
many purposes it is better than either
of these. Some people who object de
cidedly to cakes fried in lard relish them
when suet is used for frying. Beef balls
are very nice when fried in suet. Round
! steak can be used for these. Chop the
meat fine, season well with pepper and
salt and any herb you may choose,
| shape them like fiat balls with your
hands, dip in egg and fine cracker Oh
bread crumbs, and fry in the hot suet.-
Boston Post.
-Bessemer steel rods, No. 6 (three-
sixteenths of an inch IN diameter) are
recommended by Mr.. Crawford fo1
fencing, in place of wire. They will
run ten feet to the pound, and come in
| pieces weighing about ten pounds each
They are very much stronger than fence
wire, never having been weakened by
the processes to which the latter is sub
jected in its manufacture. Three rods
sixteen inches apart, will make fence
four feet high, and will cost less thar
twelve cents a rod, not counting the
freight--M. y. Examiner.

Parsley in Winter.

1t is very easy to have a supply of
parsley all winter. Take up the plants
from the garden, cut off all but a few
small leaves at the center of the tuft, and
plant them in box of good soil. Anoth-
er method is, to take a keg-a nail key
will answer; bore numerous inch or
inch-and-a-half holes in its sides. Place
the parsley with the crown at the holes
and the roots extending horizontally
into the keg, gradually filing in with
earth to hold them in place. Finish by
planting some roots upright at the top.
Either box or key, if supported at the
kitchen window and watered as needed,
will give a supply of fresh leaves all
winter. The residents of cities who
have no gardens, can buy parsley for
this purpose in the markets, as it is
usually sold with the roots attached.
Those who are fond of parsley as a
seasoning, and do not care to be at the
trouble of raising it as above, may dry
it readily and find it about as good as
when fresh. Spread the leaves thinly
on a PAM when the stove oven is not
very hot, place this in it, and leave the
door open 9he parsley viii dry very
quickly; as soon as it is crisp; rub it
between the hands into apowder, which
is to be kept in bottles, tightly closed. =
