Beautlftine the Home,

Nov that the holidays are over and
We will no longer indulge in giving fancy
work to our friends, it is hoped that
most women will have time to do some.
thing toward identifying their own
homes. At least some one nice piece OF
needlework should be commenced, and
II possible be finished before the spring
cleaning. One very effective piece Of
work is this: Take piece Of drab or
olive felt suitable for the cover Of chair
cushion and another for tho back of the
chair; on these have patterns stamped.
The prettiest sort of Elaboration is that
in which antique work and embroidery
are combined, and there are many OF
these which are attractive and vet are
not laborious. The framework Of the
chair should be low, and the felt should
be bcrdered with plush or velvet of q
darker shade. Another very pretty
piece Of work IL the cover f0f sofa pil.
low. This may be Of olive felt With q
large spray Of flowers in Kensington EN-.
broidery; have the branch or stem start
at one corner. A border and back oil
dark crimson velvet is all the finish q
cushion needs to make it elegant. An.
other cushion cover Is made BY putting
Q bias stripe Of crimson velvet diagonal.
ly across the cushion, and on each side
ofthis put stripes made by sewing strips
OF velvet or velvet ribbon together-the
corners should be Of the plain velvet
and the back also; put two small soft
tassels at each corner.-N. Y. Post.

Tie English and the French
Paryenu,

Give $1,000 francs to Frenchman
and he will place them in the funds and
retire from active life. Give the same
sum to an Englishman and he will either
spend it in month or 20 to the colonies
and turn farmer. It is all or nothing
with him. Fifty thousand francs! In
English money that makes but 92OOO.
What meagre sum! How small it
SOUNDS 10 tho ear of anEnglishman! In
landed property alone the Duke Of
Denvonshire has q fortune which
amounts to about 9s.OO0,OOO. which
means 200, 900. 900 francs. He is one oi
the richest of the peers of England, but
there are many richer than he.
The Duke of Westminster, for instance,
whose fortune is something incredible.
The word nobleman in English is almost
synonymous with rich men. This is the
secret cf the prestige enjoyed by the
aristocracy. The day on which the aris.
toc.acy have the right to dispose,
according to their pleasure. Of the prop.
erty which now increases day by day
on account Of the law of primogen.
iureship, they will cease be to q
political power; they will become just
what their French brethren are "a
group of prejudiced men. The English
paryenu is still more Objectionable than
his like in France, because he is not, as
the latter has, certain leaven Of admi.
ration and respect for knowledge and
talent. When he is in good society the
Frenchman contents himself with rat
tling his guineas while the other will tell
you without hesitation that he might
have turned bis hand to poetry or paint
ing, or easily learned Latin and Greek;
if he had set himself about it, but that,
like good Briton, he preferred to be
useful to his country and go in for busi-
ness. Barring this, the two types are
similar, always excepting this little diff
ference-that the French specimen has
invariably arrived in Paris in wooden
shoes and with 40 sous in his pocket
whereas this kind of covering for the
feet is unknown in England, and the
English parvenu always comes up to
London with only half a crown about
him.

comfortable after it, rub them all over

MADE. OvEK Stockings.-The objection
is sometimes made that made.over
stockings hurt the tender fset of chill.
iren, but if they ar, made as they
should be there is no danger of this.
The edges should be darned together
smoothly, and not sewed in seam. To
zee Just how to do this, observe how the
stockings are joined at the back.-New
York Post.
A nice breakfast for one who is not
equal to hearty fare is made of toast and
eggs prepared in this way: Put a lump
of butter in saucepan, and then
drop three eggs into it, stir briskly
and constantly, so that the eggs will be
smooth and not lumpy. Have two thin
slices of Duttered toast ready, and when
the eggs are done lay them on one piece
Of the toast and lay the Other lightly
over it; do not crowd it down and make
the eggs run over the edge of the toast.
A really common sort of work-basket
an be made very ornamental by lining
It with crocheted lining. Make 1t of
he cord used for tides and lambrequins,
eaving spaces for ribbons; in place Of
ribbons put strips of silesia. Make o
pretty bow of satin and gros. grain rib.
BON for the top of the handle; fringe
,ne end and cut one slanting. Let
he bow have quite long loops and put
il on in the exact center of the handle.
There is great need for the dissemin-
,tion of information among farmers
particularly facts about large crops and
the methods by which they are pro.
iuced, and the feeding process by which
animals can be most rapidly matured
and made to reach the heaviest weight
on the smallest expenditure of grain or
nal exp sriment-and the results Of these
experiments made by intelligent and
successful agriculturists ought to be
diligently spread before the whole pro.
fession. Nothing ia more interesting or
profitable than to know how two ears Of
corn or two blades of grass are made to
Is the secret Of success in farming.
A delicious pudding made of grated
apples isespecially enjoyed if the apples
are tart and of good flavor. Crate the
apples after peeling them, weigh them
after grating, and put with them an
equal quantity of white sugar. To about
ten ounces Of apples and sugar allow
four well beaten eggs, the rind of one
lemon, and the juice of two. Line q
shallow pudding dish with rich paste,
put in the apples, ETC., and bake for
half an hour in hot oven. A sauce of
cream adds touch of uneq1alled good
ness, but it is very nice without.

The Story of . Leper Girl.

woman, whose father was q chief of
Kaula, by the owner and master of q
Yankee whaling barque. When the
whaling skipper, becoming rich, retired
from business and settled In the islands

the home he had made and set to work
to make Christian of her; you may
readily, fancy that his methods were
crude. like his orthodoxy, and he in
dulged in rum and spiritual lessons in
unequal proportions, .punctuating his
teachings in one and his indulgence In
the other with wife. .beatings to such an
extent that the supplemented woman

Pig Prescription.

PIG would be
surprised to see how much salt pigs will
consume ii allowed all they will eat. I
have come to the conclusion that it Is %
essential for their health as for that oi
any other domestic animals, if not more
30. have seen two of my pigs in pen
eat small handful of ealt. Il should
not be mixed in the food lest too much
be given-but be put in the pen either
in clean dry spot or in box where
they can help themselves az instinct or
appetite may direct. Two other things
pigs crave. sulphur and charcoal.
I buy dirty salt very cheap,
which is just as good fol
pigs aud also for cattle, and keep q
barrelful in the pig house all Of the time.
l buy crude sulphur by the barrel.
Charcoal is easily made by burning
green wood In the stove and raking out
the Goals. The cinders from coal ashes
are also good for pigs and they will pick
out the smallest bits. They seem to
have an instinct to know that the little
potash (alkali) they contain is good To
correct acidity of stoms; hs and to check
fermentation. Charcoal does the same
thing more effectuslly. The sulphur
acts as q corrective in the stomach, puri-
ies the blood, and heals and prevents
skin disorders.-F. D. Curtis.
