HOME AND FARM.

If you do not wish to use the skins
and seeds of ounces to make jelly, stew
them in little water, strain the juice.
and use it to wet the sugar and help
make the sirup for your preserved
quinces.-N Y. Post.
"A very ornamental foot stool lis
made of two colors in plush. The stool
should be round and soft, and have the
plush pieces cut after the fashion of
quarters of orange peel. Where they
join fancy stitches in colored silk should
cover the seams.-Erchange.
The New York Times reminds
farmers that smut is rapidly increasing,
few crops being free from it. A solu-
ton of four ounces of blue vitriol-sul-
phate of copper-dissolved in gallon
of water for each five bushels of seed,
| which is stepped in it until it is alb
sorbed, has been found the most effective
to destroy the minute spores which pro-
duce the fungus.
-Sulphuric acid, it is claimed, is a
simple but certain test for adulterated
butter. Fresh, pure, yellow butter. by
the slightest contact with sulphuric
acid, turns almost a pure white, while
oleomargarine made from tallow
changes to a deep crimson red. When
lard or other oils are used, the colors
are MISUNDERSTANDING all the colors
of the rainbow.
"A new fancy in the crazy quilt line
is to have in the exact center of the
quilt block of plain satin with the in
itials. in monogram or otherwise, of the
owner of the quilt. Another new de-
parture is to have each block the en-
bodiment of an idea, or at least to have
each block develop method in mad
ness. For example, let one have Ken
sington work in outline patterns only.
another necdlework of different kind,
or applique, or painting. The fOunda-
ton of these blocks must necessarily be
of plain colors in silk, satin or velvet
~ y. Post.
The free use of milk with sOme
persons needs discretion. A large glass
of milk swallowed suddenly will form
in the stomach a lump of dense, cheesy
curd. Under the action of the stomach
this will turn over and over like heavy
weight, and as the gastric juice can
only attack its surface it digests very
slowly. The same milk taken with a
biscuit, slice of toast, a roll or n
saucerful of porridge forms a porous.
friable clot. which breaks up every time
that the stomach turns it over, and
through which the gastric juice can
easily pass. Therefore, milk taken with
breadstuffs is much more digestible than
by itself. If the milk be still found too
strong little boiling water poured into
it and n piece of sugar added makes it
still more easily digested.-C Chicago

O,D0nnell in London.

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The train with
O'Donnell aboard arrived safely. Extro-
ordinary precautions were taken to guard
him. He was at once driven to Millbank
and placed in cell. subsequently the
prisoner was taken to Bow street and
charged with murder upon the high seas.
AT the request of counsel for the crown
the prisoner was remanded to Jail for q
week to await the arrival Of Kayanaugh,
Joseph Hanlan, Joseph Smith and other
Irish informers in the Phoenix Park MUIR
der trials, who arrived here August 9th,
but were not permitted to k1and, having
been shipped to Europe.
The prisoner gave his name at Bow
street Jail as Pat O'Donnell, though he is
described in the charge sheet as Michael
O,Donnell, peddler of Gadoure county
Donegal, Ireland. He will have able coun-
sci, as steps are being taken to secure the
services of well-knoWn Irish member O
Parliament. The police are extremely ac
tive in the nationalist quarters Of Londor
to-day, making inquiries as to what con
nection, if any, O'Donnell had with th'
| Irish secret societies. The Millbank pri
son has been placed under extra guard
the same as when the dynamiters Wer

The Dressed Beef Question.

Notwithstanding the facilities that are
afforded by refrigerator cars for the trans
portation of dressed beef from the West, a
great many train loads of live, fat cattle,
are continually being sent past us on the
railroad. The barbarities of live stock
transportation have been known for years,
although railway men and legislators
both sought to relieve it of some OF its
most cruel features, but little was in reali
ty accomplished. Liye stock express
trains We're pat on and the cattle were
frequently fed, yet the poor creatures ar
rived at their journeys end bruised and
sick. Men might have pitied the agonies
of The dumb animals but the business
seemed necessity. People must have
food and this in spite of the sufferings of
the cattle, which were only to be had in
sufficient numbers in the west. No one
has ever denied that this transportation OF
| live stock was productive of torture TO the
animals; nor has any denial been heard
of the fact that large percentage of the
cattle taken East arrive in a sickening and
repulsive condition. Many a man, as he
looked upon the stock cars, filled with the
Iquivering masses Of flesh, realized that
animals in such condition ought not to
be used for food.
/ This process is a cruel and costly one. Il
is to be done away with gradually by the
i establishment Of such slaughter houses Al

Prisoners Reheaded in China.

LONDON, Sept. IA Hong Kong dis
patch gives the details of the battle be-
tween the French and the black flags on
the 1st inst. The French, the dispatch
says, took thirty prisoners, who were be-
headed forthwith. Although the move
ments of the French troops was success,
the result shows that very large reinforce
ments will be needed at Tonquin, as earth
workers of no great strength kept the
French supported by gun boats three days
at bay. Sixty men of an a, liable force
of 1900 means large French oss, while
500 black flags killed is nothing. Opera
tions are again suspended.
Captain Delaney, French infantry
officer, predicted four years ago that there
would be an earthquake in Java, giving
the date within two days Of its occurrence.
He predicted a worse disaster in 1886. The
French academy of science, discussing the
prediction, decided it merely an extraor-
binary coincidence.

Fort Walsh DismanlIed.

Fort Walsh has been dismantled and the
police station removed to Maple creek, says
the Edmonton Bulletin. Very likely at
some future day admirers Of ancient ruins
will re-discover its desolate mud chimneys
and entwine them with romances such as
the poetry loving people of the east be-
lieve to be the lot of every man who pre-

possibly some policeman of "ye olden
time, then portly rancher or business
man, with double chin and d half doz-
en- children, will visit the scene and, for
getting that the lot of policeman is not
happy one, will chase his buffalo and fight
his battles oyer again, telling of adven-
lures in the imminent deadly breach ,of hair
breadth escapes by flood and field, of balls
in which the barracks were graced by the
youth and beauty from all the 7eighbor
ing reserves, and altogether drawing the
long bow with such vengeance that the
mud ehimneys will wink at each other and
grin horribly ghastly smile.
