IrresOlut,iOn.

Irresolution is fatal habit; it is not
vicious in itself, but it leads to vice,
creeping upon its victims with fatal
facility, the penalty of which many a
fine heart has paid at the scaffold. The
idler, tho spendthrift, the epicure, and
the drunkard are among its victims.
Perhaps in the latter its effect appears in
the most hideous form. He knows that
the goblet he is about to drain is poison,
yet he swallows it. He lnows--for the
example of thousands has painted it in
glazing colors-that it will deaden all his
faculties, take the strength from his
heart, Cypress him with disease, and hur-
ry his progress to a dishonored grave, yet
he drains it. How beautiful, on the con-
trary, is the power of resolution, enabling
the one who possesses it to pass through
.perils and dang ers, trials and tempta-
tionsl Avoid the contraction of the
habit of irresolution. Strive against it
to the end.

Household Hints and Recipes.

Two small tart apples are toothsome
addition to the stutfing of roast duck
or goose.
Steel knives which are not in general
use may be kept from rusting if they are
dipped in a strong solution of soda-one
part water to four of soda; then wipe
dry, roll in flannel, and keep in dry
place.
Flowers mey be kept very fresh over
night if they are excluded entirely from
the air. To do this. wet them thoroughly,
put in damp box, and cover with wet
raw cotton or wet newspaper, then place
in cool spot.
Nothing pays better than to take great
pains in preparing dishes for the table.
In making mince pies see that there is
not q particle of gristle or bone left in
the meat, and that no piece of apple is
larger than another
Stale buns may he made to taste a
nicely as when feesh if they are dipped
for a moment or so in cold water apd
then put in hot oven for five or ten
minutes. They will turn out as light and
crisp as when first baked
Dry Lima beans, which are now SO
common an article of food, do not re.
quire more than three hours soaking; IL
you let them lie in the water longer than
that, they seem to lose their flavor and
are too mealy. They should cook slowly,
and if they should simmer for an hour
and half, it would not be too long. No
vegetable is more improved by careful
cooking.
If q goose that is to be roasted is
allowed to lie in deep pan with cold
water over it, in which tablespoonful
of soda is dissolved, all the oil can be
scraped out of the skin, and the coarse
flavor which is greatly objected to may
be entirely removed. The goose must
first be perfectly cleaned by rinsing with
clear cold water.
Chocolate blanc-mange without corn,
starch is made by dissolving half an
ounce of gelatine in as little cold water
as possible. Let one quart of milk boil
with four ounces of grated chocolate
mixed with it, for five minutes; then ado
one cup of sugar; stir constantly till tho
sugar is dissolved; then add the gela.
tine. 1t should then boil for five or SIX
minutes, and the greatest care must b(
observed to prevent its scorching. Take
from the fire, flavor with vanilla, pour il
molds to cool, and serve with cream.

HEALTH HINTS

, One pint of sweet milk and handful
of pokeberry root is said to be a sure
cure for erysipelas.-Hearth and Home.
Take the blossoms of red clover and
make q tea of them, and drink freely.
1t will cure cancer in the stomach, as
well as on the surface.-Hearh and
Home.
Methyl salicylate foil of wintergreen)
mixed with an equal quantity of olive oil
or linimentum saponis, applied externally
to inflamed joints affected by acute
rheumatism affords instant relief, and,
having a pleasant odor, its use is very
agreeable.-Therapeutic Re0ielo.
More quarrels arise between brothers,
between sisters, between hired girls, be-
tween clerks in stores, between 4. ired
men, between husbands and wives, ow-
ing to electrical changes through their
systems by lodging together night after
night under the same bed clothes than by
any other disturbing cause. There is
nothing that will so derange the nervous
system of a person who is eliminative in
nervous force as to lie all night in bed
with another person who is absorbent in
nervous force. The absorber will go to
sleep and rest all night, while the elimi-
nator will be tumbling and tossing, rest
less and nervous, and wake up in the
morning fretful, peevish, fault-fnding
and discouraged. No two persons, no
matter who they are, should habitually
sleep together. One will thrive, the
other will lose. This is the law.-Lan.

+ Enlargement of the heart is a common
abnormal condition. Distractions in the
course of the circulation-notably the
kidneys-are at times instrumental in the
causation of this trouble. The throbbing
of large heart is sometimes quite an
noying by its violence. If along with a
large heart there be weak bloodvessels,
it is plain that break is quite possible.
This will be followed by results of great
er or less gravity, according to the loca-
ton of the broken artery. A proportion
of the sudden deaths said to be due I'd
heart disease are in all probability
due to the breaking of an artery
in the brain. Dyspeptic persons often
imagine that they have heart disease, and
it is quite true that palpitation-irregu,
lar action-of the heart is very usual
coincidence of indigestion. An impov.
erished condition of the blood renders
the occurrence of palpitation of the
heart very much more likely.

The True Economy Of Manure.

The true economy of manure demands
that the farmer adapt manure to the
crops. He may be acquainted with the
composition of crop, and the compost
ton as well of the soil on which it is to
be grown, and yet be ignorant of the
true economy of manure. He must also
be acquainted with the special character
Of the crop. In word, it is not only
the materials required to form crop, but
the power of the crop to assimilate these
materials, which should influence the
farmer in the application of fertilizers.
Farmers are constantly advised to
manure their land with all the constitu-
snts required by the crop--a proceeding
quite unnecessary in most cases.
When land is in fertile condition the
total amount of plant food available for
crops is very considerable, and luxuriant
growth may be obtained by supplement
Ing the stores of the soil with the few
special elements of food which the crop
10 be grown has most difficulty in OBJ
tanning. For instance, in majority of
eases dressing of nitrate of sodium and
superphosphate will insure full crop of
wheat, barley or oats, and in many cases
nitrate of sodium alone will prove very
effective. These cereal crops generally
ind the supply of nitrates in the soil
insufficient for their perfect growth, and
the supply of phosphates is usually more
Or less inadequate, but in most instances
they are able to obtain a sufficient amount
Of potash and other essential elements of
food, Thus by supplying one or two
Constituents of the crops the farmer may
obtain fine yield. On the same princi-
pie nitrate of sodium employed alone will,
in most cases, produce large crop of
hangels; superphosphate alone, large
crop of turnirs, while potassium salts
alone may prove effective with pasture
and clovers.
Long continued experiments at Roth
amsted, England, make it appear that
this special manuring for each crop is no
strain on the capabilities of the soil if a
rotation of crops be followed. If super
phosphate is applied for the turnips, pot
ash for the seeds and heterogeneous ma
nure for the cereal crops the more impor-
liant elements of plant food contained in
the soil will not be diminished at the end
Of the rotation.
In this country progressive farmers
practise special manuring as supplement
to the general manuring by farm-yard
manure. When farms are thus enriched
scientists suggest and experiment appears
10 advise that farm-yard manure be APP.
Piled to those crops which stand most in
need of general manuring. and the arti6-
hal fertilizers to other crops demanding
only one or two elements not plentiful in
.he soil. --Neao York World.

GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Fowls.


Chickens crowded together become
hot. They catch cold. They have roup.
Sick fowls communicate disease to others.
A very sick fowl should at once be sacri-
feed, or it will sacrifice the rest. Kill it.
A sick fowl is not fit to eat. Crack
bones for fowls; they will strive to get
the marrow, and will thus have some ex-
ercise. Give them boiled scraps of all
kinds, with oats or meal in the mess.
Give them mixed feed. They will turn
from oats to corn and from corn to oats.
Sand is not as good as dust or ashes for
hen baths. Give them old plaster,
cracked oyster shells which have been
burned-anything with lime in it, and
apart from the dust bath. Do not let
them go thirsty. Put little iron rust
in their water. We have used the tine
ture of iron in small quantities. White
wash their houses, and when they are
out summing themselves some fine day
fumigate the house with tobacco and
sulphur burned on an old tin pan while
the doors and windows are shut. Venti-
late afterward, and before the fowls go
hack. Scrape the perches with an old
knife or scythe, and wash them with
kerosene to kill insects. Better still,
have seasoned poles, backed and ready
to fit into the rests for perches. Make
a hole in each end for nail to
go into so as to clasp them
and keep them from rolling. After bark
ing rasp the perches, so as to givethe
fowls a grip. Rub these perches with
kerosene oil. Change these perches oc-
casionally during the winter. In using
carbolic acid for disinfectants or insect
killers do not mix it with whitewash.
The fowls may peck the whitewash for
the lime, to use in their systems for
shells, and thus poison themselves with
the carbolic acid inwardly. Give them
lime in some shape, or they will eat their
feathers. We have used lime in water.
The lime settles and the water contains
all it can hold. This lime water is the
same that is used for scalds and burns.
1t is sometimes taken by people for bad
Stomachs. For your own stomach's use
get it of druggist. For your hens
stomachs and egg-shells, make it your
self. At the same time old plaster is the
best egg-shell maker for hens eating that
we have used. It is easier than burnt
and cracked oyster shells. Bone meal is
very good. With lime, give hens meat
1t pays. We give meat every other day
We buy it at the butchers. 1t is better
to buy meat for hens than for dogs. We
feed bone meal in milk. What salt we
give them is nut sparingly into theil
cooked feed. Never feed raw. What.
ever people may say, superabundanct
of salt kills; but some is needed. W.
have given it in thick milk. Birds thai
eat their own feathers require lime and {
little salt in their food.-Neo York Her.

Regularity In Feeding.

1t is fact which does not seem to be
either known or clearly understood by
many of our breeders and farmers that
regularity, as to the time and quantity,
IN feeding has much to do in determining
The question of profit and loss, and that
regularity as to the time of feeding and
he number of daily feeds have more to
10 with producing loss than variation
n the quantity of the food. Take pen
If pigs, for instance, and feed them for
week or two at, say, 6 A. NJ. and 6P. NJ,
With noon feed at 10 NJ, and then
iced irregularly one day three times,
mother day twice, occasionally only
,nce and at irregular hours, and see how
loon the pigs will show the neglect.
,ven though the same amount of food

egular intervals, and in liberal quantity,
Will rest content between feeding times,
out will be ON hand and expectant at
The feeding hour. If not fed regularly,
they are generally restless and discon-
ented at all times, and the worry they
hus take prevents the animals from gain
ng that weight and size which liberal
eeding would otherwise produce. The

when obliged to have their meals lrreg-
