Household Hints.


If straw hat has been wet. and the stiff
mixed with cold water over it; put it on with
flannel cloth.
In buying fiat-irons it is best to buy large
ones. as it is easier to iron with them. 1t is
well enough TO have one or two small ones
for ironing some little things.
The best thing in the world and also the
simplest Tor making the hands white is In
dian meal and glyceripe. If the hands are
washed in the meal twice dav and then
glycerined it is almost impossible for them
not TO be white and smooth.
To prevent mould on the top of glasses OF
jelly lay lump of parafine on the top OF
the hot jelly, letting it melt and spread over
it. No brandy paper and no other covering
is necessary. II preferred, the parahne can
be melted and poured over after the jelly is
cold.
A very pretty mantel cover for sitting
room may be made of crash fringed about
four inches and worked in simple outline
figures This embroidery Is very easy, and
its effect is'very good. The crash, as it can
be washed, is better than felt or mummy
cloth, and is very cheap
The American Poultry Record gives the
following method of lining eggs for long
keeping To one pint of salt and one pint of
fresh lime add four gallons OF boiling water.
When cold put in stone jars Then with
dish let down your fresh eggs into it. tipping
the dish, after it fills with the liquid so they
will roll out without cracking the shell, for
if the she'll is cracked, the egg will spoil. Put
the eggs i'll whenever you have them fresh.
Keep them covered in a cool place and they
will keep fresh for year.

this by rubbing some with a spoon against
the side of an earthen dish. If it will not,
let it boil for few minutes longer; but If it
is satisfactory pour it all in dish and beat
rapidly with large spoon. The vanilla or
any favoring should not be added until the
cream begins to cool. This can be formed
into all sorts of shapes. and can be varied in

shape it, you can warm it without injuring

How a Pasture Is Made.


In Great Britain, Holland, and in some of
the best dairy districts IN this country, land
is selected Tor pasture as it is for any par
ticular crop. Regard is paid to its adapta-
hility to produte large amount of fine rich
grasses. The soil or sod is prepared to re-
ccive the seed, which is selected with special
reference to the production of grass to be
eaten while it is in its green state. Great
pains are taken to render the soil as product
i've as possible. Water is supplied or drained
off as the wants of the land require. Weeds
and bushes are exterminated or kept in sub
lection. Fertilizers are applied as they are
to land devoted to cultivated crops. Loose
soils are rendered more compact by the use
OF the roller, and very heavy soils are loosen
ed by the employment of the harrow or scar
ifer. Most farmers in this country, how
ever, neglect all these things. Land is not
selected for a pasture. If it is too
rocky. broken or difficult to cultivate If it is
too wet or dry to produce good crops of corn,
grain, potatoes or roots, it is devoted to pas

The Quaker and the Lady.

A little satire is better than a great
deal of argument. It's an old story, but,
like an old sermon, it can be profitably
used a second time, since it is good. A
venerable and sedate Quaker was stand
ing by the side of lady at fashiona-
bic reception who chad nothing to
wear" and who wore it. Her dress was
al right at the lower end-that is, it
dragged on the floor couple of yards
tripped up just dozen gentlemen dur
ing the evening, who apologized polite
ly and then retired to the smoking room,
where they expressed their opinions with
proper freedom, but at the upper end it
began verylow. "DOn'tyou think it very
cold here ?" she said to her companion.
What can 1 put on % The Quaker
looked at her for a moment and then
said quietly. 81 really don't know,
Sarah, what thee can do, unless, per-
haps, thee puts on another breastpin. ;"

rubbed her well, and, after administer

or longer, if she was so inclined. As
soon as the young lady awoke she was
fed with beef tea, or some food equally
nourishing In short, she was treated as
she would be if seriously Ill, and in that
way she kept fresh for the afternoon
dancing receptions and the germans at
night. Nothing was expected of hel
but to enjoy herself and rest when she
was tired, so she could continue to par
ticipate in the gnyeties while the dancing
season lasted.

One Who WON'T Go.

There are some men in Detroit who
do notlOse their presence ofmind when
confronted with startling political
news. One of this class-an ever-go-
ing, honest minded elector-was mys-
teriously approached the other day
by an unknown" who carefully lock-
ed the office door and whispered:
Il have been deputized to wait ON
you and say that the boys are talking
you up as Congressional candidate.
We want q man sir, u man-who will
represent us in our National Legisla-
tive Halls in a manner befitting our
great Commonwealth, and the earnest
sons of toll of this district. We can
make q good race with good man..
We have looked all around and fixed
our eyes on you.
Yes"
'.You are known to be honest and
reliable, and if you are nominated you
will carry the masses"
perhaps"
Cali you've got to do is to keep
STILL" cautioned the unknown. "Just
let us work this boom for you. You
are our man. You have our respect
and confidence, NUNS the word
We'll fix things. You'll accept?'
"Well, l guess So"
E'Good! you are in the hands of
your friends. Don't say word"
The unknown left the office on tip
toe, but in ten minutes he returned.
and then carelessly Observed:
"Oh! by the way, Pm So short ON q
little bill to-day. If you could spare
it, I'd be ever SO much obliged, and
I'd return it Oh Saturday"
"Say!" replied the citizen in whis-
per as he beckoned the other to the
door-"all you got to do is to keep
still. You are in the hands of your
friends. Don't say a word. Let me
fix this boom for YOU"
He showed the unknown gently out,
locked the door, and went back to his
desk with the firm conviction that
some one else would be rendered the
nomination.

Talks ,eiM Tired Ho,.sekeepers.

The amount of labor performed by the
majority of farmers wives at the present
day is appalling. Sometimes we sigh
for the good old times of the past. To
be sure our grandmothers worked but
they knew little or nothing of the hun
dreds of perplexing cares that wear out
the life of the young wife and mother OF
the present day. Hurry and worry kill
more than work The plain, stout,
home-spun suits our grandparents were
clothed in were very different from the
fimsy, tucked, ruffled and embroidered
suits that the little ones to-day are ar
rayed IN.
There comes before my mind as
write the care-worn faces of many dis
heartened housekeepers. Day after day
passes, but still there is plenty of work
on hand that ought to be done; in fact,
it always seems to be increasing. The
house must be kept perfectly clean, for
dirt in the house is a sin(O. The chill
dren must be kept looking "as well as
othee peoples" The husband is too
poor TO hire help III the house, and ten
chances to one the poor wife has to bear
burdens that rightfully belong to him to
bear. He does not mean to be unkind,
but he does not know the pain she suffers
In silence, and he cannot realize the
weakness which makes her work bur-
den. And SO the years glide on, until
mind and body can bear up under the
fearful strain no longer. Then the toll
worn hands are folded, the throbbing,
burning brain becomes calm and cool.
and the sufferer is laid to- rest-rest
at last.
All unnecessary work is wrong It is
as much your duty to rest when you feel
the need of it as is to work when you do
not. There is great deal of work done
which never ought to be; it may seem
necessary, but experience will teach
you, if you will allow it to, that it is not.
Constantly dwelling upon the one sub
ject OF house-work, the mind becomes
morbidly sensitive, and trifles will rear
themselves into mountains. This is a
TACT experience has taught me. The
more work you do the more you will see
to do. The more you brush and scour
the more dirt you will see. There is
time to stop, and happy are they who
know the time Kara Kyle.

The Hippopotamus at Home.

Kingwere, the canoe paddleF (says
Mr.. Stanley, espying us from his
brake covert on the opposite side, civ
lily responded to our halloos, and
brought his huge followed tree skill
fully over the whirling eddies OF the
river to where we stood waiting for
him. While one party loaded the
canoe with other goods, others got

animals necks, wherewith to haul
Them through the river to the other
bank. After seeing the work properly
commenced, sat down on condemn

skulls with my No. II smOothbOre.

no more than slightly tap them, caus-
ing about Us much injury as boys

fire. for ten times in succession struck
the tops of their heads between the
ears. One old fellow, with the look
of sage, was tapped close to the right
ear with one of these bullets. Instead
of submerging himself, as others had
done, he coolly turned around as if to
ask: "Why this waste OF valuable
cartridges on us?" The response to
the mute inquiry of his sageship was
an ounce-and-a-quarter bullet from
the smoothbore, which made him bel
low with pain, and i'll few moments
he rose up again tumbling in his death

that they looked like deal trees car

swimming-their curved necks and
pointed ears, their wide eyes, and ex-
panded nostriis, favor greatly this
comparison.

Wamted to Be Crushed.

An Oil City young man was reading
about recent doings in the Arctic re-
gions, and his best girl was sitting near
by, watching the wagging of his mus
tache as the words rolled out. She was
evidently more deeply absorbed in the
mustache than in the story. He con-
tinued:
"She arrived at the mouth of the
River Lena about three months ago.
The Jeanette was crushed-'
"What?" asked the girl, quickly
standing up.

"Oh but wasn't that just too lovely
