Fashionable Colors.

The great color this season is to be
red, not only poppy red and caroubier,
but also shade known as red copper,
or in French cuivre rouge. 1t is a GU
rious fact that nowadays the new colors
come to Paris, SO to speak, from across
the Atlantic, and during the summer
months there is a great curiosity among
the manufacturers of all kinds of articles
to know what shades the Lyons dyers
are producing for the American market.
Last season the great color was mashed
strawberry, and no sooner was the
secret known at Limoges than Haviland
and other makers began their expert
ments to produce the fashionable tint in
porcelain.
But fashion in color does not limit its
influence to modern products; it has
also an influence in the curiosity mar
ket. l remember, for instance, last
spring one of the great Partisan de alers
in Oriental pottery relating to me visit
he received from an American.
Have you got any mashed strawber-
ryP" said the American, coming into
the store.

the slightest idea what his visitor meant,
but conforming to his invariable rule of
always professedly having everything
in stock. Thereupon the dealer led the
visitor to case full of porcelain.
"Ah! there is one,' said the Ameri-
can, pointing to little vase, and there
by enlightening the dealer; there is
one, but it is not fine. Have you got
any more?"
The dealer not knowing what mashed
strawberry meant hunted up some
other specimens, and this summer he
sold small amphora-shaped mashed
strawberry vase to Baltimore collector
for the modest sum of three thousand
dollars. A similar one was sold in Lon
don recently for three thousand six hun
dred dollars.
Shall we see next year a red-copper
craze in porcelain. too? It is possible
enough, and so in the future we shall
be able to name the years of color
crazes- the mustard-yellow year, the
unsatisfactory year, the red-copper
year. and so forth. Paris Cor. N. Y.

How 1t Pays.

I 1t pays to feed we'll. Let me give
you case. Having good lot Of COWS,
which | have bred and reared myself
and trained them well to be kind and
gentle in every way, do not like to
part with them. But having few more
than could well take care of this year.
| rented out five of them to q neighbor.
One of these cows is a cross-bred pure
Ayrshire and Jersey, and with her first
calf gave eight pounds of butter in the
first week s churning; with her second
calf she gave l24 pounds the first week
after the milk was kept, (the calf was
fed on skinned milk only. This cow
is now six years old, and in her prime

she was poor cow ''What feed do
you give her?" .'No feed at all
but the pasture in the swamp
meadow; and she milks only four
quarts a day. I brought the COW
home, and she was mere skeleton in
a bag of loose skin. The first milking
was three pints. | began to feed her
as | knew she deserved. I gave her
two quarts of fine ground corn-meal and
middlings mixed with cut sweet corn
fodder three times a day, with what
grass the pasture would afford. The
fourth day she MIXED nine quarts, the
seventh day III quarts; the first four
days her milk made three pounds of
butter; the last three days it has made
four pounds seven ounces. This is not
her full yield, as she is putting on flesh,
and will do so until she weighs $50 or
200 pounds more than she did when she
came homo.
Il we figure this up the profit on this
feed can be shown very easily. Four
quarts a day at five cents-the price at
which her milk has been sold all sum
mer-is 20 cents. That is the value
OF swamp meadow feeding. Eleven
and half quarts day is equal to 573
cents; the feed costs Is cents, so that
this Is cents gives 223 cents profit.
And to me the satisfaction of the thing
is worth good deal more than adollar
a day would be, for | certainly have a
good deal of regard for my cows, which
have reared from the first, and each of
which is q pet and regards me with
evident kindliness and affection. At
the rate shown by these figures ten
cows would return 1925 daily profit
for the expenditure of $3.50, which is
in itself as much as many mechanic

family upon. And yet there are
farmers and dairymen who are growl-
ing every day of their lives that farming
does not pay. l wish some of them
would change places with some Of the
people in towns and cities whom they
profess to envy SO much. What mis-
take they would make.-N Y. Times.

Cooking Apples.

When apples are plenty, they may be
so cooked as to form an important ar
ticle of diet, and that, too, without
cloying the appetite The core removed
through the blossom end Of fair, sour
apples, the cavities filed with sugar
and the apples baked, will make nice
dessert. Sweet apples are delicious
when boiled in sugar and served in their
own sirup. Apple shortcake and
dumplings are variously made One of
the best is to fill baking dish half full
of tart, easily-cooked apples; spread
over it a dough of sour cream, made
stiff with flour, and little salt and
soda, and bake. Eat with sweetened
cream, or nice sauce made of one
third of cupful of butter, one cupful
of sugar, two tablespoonful of corn
starch, one tablespoonful of vinegar,
half a nutmeg and "a pint of boiling
water Nice apple dumplings can be
made while stewing apples, either fresh
or died Take cup full of rich, sour.

quite stiff with flour. When the apples
are nearly done, drop the batter on top.
spoonful in place; then cover the
stew-pan and cook rather slowly until
done. Take off the dumplings, and Law
each in saucer with bit Of butter on
top; then sweeten the applesauce, and.
cover the dumplings with it until the
saucers are full. When stewing apples
add occasionally little lemon or orange
peel; always stir in a little butter with
the sugar; sometimes slice the apples
thin, add sugar, a little butter and Gin
namon, and stew very slowly and not
quite soft. Baked sweet apples are ex-
ceedingly healthful, and with bread and
milk make nice supper for little folks.
Grab apples, either whole or quartered,
are good if stewed in sweetened water.
Fresh apples, mellow, or crisp and
juicy, deserve place on the dinner and
tea-table, and are sure to be much rel
ished. - Country Gentleman.

Democracy and the Tariff Re
form.

Ex-mayor Prince of BOstOn-secre-
tary of the national democratic COM
mittee in ISS0-has written a letter to
a friend in st. Louis in regard to the
tariff reform in the next congress, an
extract from which is published in the
Missouri Republican. He believes in
"a tariff for revenue only, adjusted
with strict reference to equality in the
public burdens, and also with view
incidentally merely to foster and en-
courage home productive industry, so
far only as it can be done without pro-
ducing mOnopolies, or giving unjust
advantages to any This is precisely
the avowed position of every republi-
can or democrat, but they do not seem
able to agree as to how much duty is
necessary in order to give sufficient
protection to American industry.
He says the democrats will have the
power in the next congress, and they
must meet and settle this great ques-
ton. "If, through fear or other rea-
sons" he says, sit neglects or ignores
its plain duties i'll the premises, the
people will believe it lacks capacity for
government" Its course on the tariff
question has already justified the peo-
pie III this conclusion.
With reference to candidates, Mr..
Prince believes that Mr.. Tilden, if
nominated, would be elected, because
the numinee of the democrats, whoever
he may he, will he elected. But he
does not think that Tilden wants the
nomination, and Mr.. Prince is in favor
of ii western man for a candidate.
He thinks the next convention should
be held in Boston. as it sis now an
assured democratic city, next tc
Boston, he is in favor of st. Louis as
the location. Can it be that the ex-
mayor has in view Butler as a possible
candidate by desiring the convention
held in Boston Certainly 'twOuld he
advantageous to his prospects : but il
all probability, st. Louis will get the
convention. 1t made strong effort
for it three years ago; and rs the can
didate is more than likely to be a west
ern man, the wishes of the west, in fix
ing the place for holding the next con
vention, should he well considered 10y
