The seams of sofa pillow may be
concealed by placing row of gilt braid
over them. This is an easy and orna-
mental way.
An old fashioned warm weather drink
which might once in a while be given to
the children, is made of one quart of
water one Tablespoonful of ginger, four
tablespoonfuls of sugar and nearly half
a pint of vinegar.
To ornament the table a pretty dish
may be arranged thus; Dip punches of
grapes into the beaten white of an egg,
sift powdered sugar over them, put them
upon sieve to dry, then lay them on a
glass dish with tall standard. Currants
and cherries may be used instead of
grapes.
If you have no pan expressly for baking
fish you can arrange it in this way Get
piece of heavy wire netting such as is
commonly used in cellar windows; have
it cut Just large enough to cover the top
of your dripping-pan, but not to extend
over the sides; the fish may be laid upon
this, and it will drain nicely and will be
far more likely to brown as you like to
have it than if it were laid in the bottom
of the pan.
To have nice hard butter for the table
without the use Of ice, put a trivet, or
any open fiat thing with legs, in sau-
Ger; put on this trivet the plate of butter,
and fill the saucer with water; turn a
common fower-pot so that its edges
shall be within the saucer and under the
water. Plug the hole in the fiower-p pot
no
with water, set in cool place until
morning, or if done at breakfast the but
ter will be hard at supper time.
Hydrochloric acid diluted in five or
six times the quantity Of water may be
applied with success upon an ink spot,
and after a minute or two washing it off
with clean water. A solution of oXalic
acid, citric acid and tartaric acid is at
tended with the least risk, and may be
applied upon the paper or plates without
fear of damage. Chlorine water re-
moves perfectly stains of ink. In fact,
almost any bleaching agent, properly
applied, will accomplish this purpos,.
To make milk biscuits, melt three
quarters of a pound of butter in pint of
milk and when nearly cold one pint of
yeast and little salt, and work into
these sufficient sifted flour to make a
scottish dough; roll this into balls, which
place at a little distance apart upon
creased baking tins; place in warm
situation to rise; when light, bake them
in brisk oven to a light fawn color
When done, wash over the tops with a
soft brush dipped in milk; this will give
the biscuit slight gloss

FARM GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Bumbic-Bccs and the Bean Crop.

Professor Sturtevant, in recent bulle-
tin from the New York Agricultural Ex.
pertinent station, reports observations
made in the bean crop with view to
note the influence of naturalization and
show the Importance of growing beans
for seed purposes apart from other varie-
ties.
Following are conclusions deducted
from observations made by Professor
Sturtevant The bean crop is dependent
in measure upon the agency of humble
bees and other insects to carry the pollen
from flower to flower. The scarlet-runner
bean seems to produce seed except when
the flowers are cross fortified, and in
Nicaragua, where insects of the proper
kind do not exist, this plant is said to be
sterile. The common garden bean may
yield some seed through Standardization,
but never in such large quantities as
where cross fertilization is effected, and
as the humble bees are the principal
agency in the carrying of pollen, the in
Ference is that a crop would be deficient
through the scarcity of these insects
The agency of insects in cross-fertiliz-
ing flowers explains, in Professor Sturte
wants opinion, the appearance of varia
ton in the beans of a crop which came
from hybridization. This influence of
hybridization was quite manifest among
the varieties grown at the station last
year. The variation was usually confined
to the coloring of the bud, but often it
extended to the shape and size of the
bean as we'll

Living From the Garden.

Gardeners, and above all, farmers have
no business to live meanly or think of
themselves as obliged to drudge cease
lessly without the indulgences of other
classes. One has no business to see town
folk having early vegetables and berries
a month before his tardy supply comes
on, to be out of them in dog days be-
fore the merchants and cheap boarding
see the end of fresh things; he has no
need to live on doughnuts and boiled
dinners the year round, when others try
the changes of spring lamb, fresh fish,
boiled chicken, salads, ducks and
green peas, capons and veals until
turkey time comes again. He ought not
to see town homes fragrant with flowers
while his wife has only bunch of sy-
ringas or cinnamon roses, with turf of
asparagus, TO sweeten the parlor when
she thinks to pick them. What better
right have rich men to sit over deserts
and choice pears, plums, grapes, apricots,
while he must content himself With a
Baldwin's apple in midwinterl Who
should have becoming home with
its lawn in front and large borders
of the richest flowers his house
one-story and small perhaps, yet hung
with with woodbine, wild grapes and
roses against the background of orchard
and nut trees, Spreading their thanking
boughs with good effect as if it were a
cottage ornee, with its acres OF shrub
berries. Why should he not have in his
garden choice fruits of the season, straw
berries, currants and gooseberries jostling
each other in earliest perfection, red and
black, cherries, golden and purple plums,
of black caps to make up for the lost
strawberries, and grapes as soon as rasp-
berries are over, big blanched salads,
peas in succession, as we'll as his town
neighbor, who sells him groceries and
cotton? Why should he not have as fine
pears, peaches, winter apples and grapes
at Christmas as well as the president of
the Horticultural society, and why should
not his girls have big French roses and
tuberoses as well as the solitary dahlia
and China aster which decorate the yard
the common geranium indoor? Why
doesn't he have an herb bed to make his
plain dinner savory, and lavender to
sweeten his sheets at nightl A poor
English cottager will have all these by
thrift and contrivance. Why not an
American farmer?-Ch Chicago Herald.
