Nice cookies: One cupful of but

"A bit of economy is to save the
peel of oranges; dry it and CRATE it for
flavoring mince pies and orange cakes,
and custard also. If it is dried per-

"A correspondent suggests that if
corn, before planting, be soaked in
tarred water and then rolled in plaster
it will prevent the crows and blackbirds
from pulling it up, and also prevent it
from rotting in case a long wet spell
follows its being placed in the ground.
Though not new, q repetition of the
suggestion is timely.-Chicago Tribune.
The pudding which should invaria-
bly, accompany boiled dinner to the
table is made in this way: One pint of
sweet or sour milk, two teacups of corn

dissolved in hot water; add two slices
of stale cake, crumbled very fine and
mixed with the meal; boil for three
hours in a bag; serve with common
sour pudding sauce.-Ch Chicago Journal.
"A good way to clean hairbrushes is
to dampen the brushes and sprinkle

clean better by rubbing two together.
If you have no borax, common baking
soda may be used.-Detrot Post.

-Artichokes on good land with the
same culture as corn will produce from
four hundred to one thousand bushels
per acre. A. c. Williams, a prominent
Iowa pig-breeder, says: ssThe keep of
my hogs, whenthe ground is not frozen,
is blue grass, clover and artichokes.
Forty head of hogs and pigs may be
kept without other food on an acre of
artichokes from the time frost is out of
the ground until they grow again, and
from October until the ground freezes
again. They produce more hog food
per acre than any other crop am ac-
quainted with, and the hogs win harvest
the crop themselves. They also produce
an immense quantity of tops, of which
cattle, horses and mules are very fond,
and which make excellent food when
properly cured. Chicago Times.

hit the keys, which are turned by crank
that is moved by pedals. The corresponds mt

it, says that all the time he was listening
he felt as though he was at boarding

pianist Of the school was playing her crack
piece. There was labored attempt at ex-
preston and girlish disregard for time.
Mr.. Gally, the inventor, says he can imi-
tate the playing of any pianist in the
all the fire and passion of Liszt, if any one
orders it. When this is perfected, with an

A Sleeping Child,s FAN.

MARY, seven-year-ol& daughter of
Deliore Gerore, who resides in the Sec
ond story of the tenement block corner
of Manchester and Pine streets, under
went perilous experience about $50
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. 1t seems
that Mrs. Gerore, the mother of the
child, put her in bed in the attic about
one o'clock for an afternoon nap. The
next known of her whereabouts she
was found on the sidewalk in front of
the house in a partially insensible con-
dition, sustaining cut upon the fore
head and a bruise on her side, besides
being otherwise badly shaken up. The
only information as to how the affair
happened was derived through Irving, a
son of Jason Copp, who at the time was
sitting at an open window in the house
on the opposite side of the street and
who said that the first he saw of her she
had climbed out of the Lutheran win
dow in the roof and was sliding down
toward the gutter. A second later and
she had gone over the gutter and was
holding on the same with her hands. A
few seconds and she fell to the side
walk, striking first upon the steps of
the entrance TO the house and then
rolled off on to the sidewalk. All this
time young Copp was vainly trying to
summon assistance. Is
A large crowd soon gathered and the
little one was taken up and medical aid
summoned. In falling she fortunately
struck first upon the feet, the distance
being about twenty feet. Had she
come down head first, as when first
seen, without doubt she would have
been killed outright. As evidence
tended to show that she had been asleep
all the while, the first words spoken by
her after returning to consciousness
were: Mamma, was. i asleepp" A
couple of physicians were in attendance
last evening who considered her case
as yet decidedly critical. Manchester
