The patriotic hush nd, with thousands Of
others, babe his wife a fearful farewell
and rushed to the fight to fight for the
Confederacy. As the crimson years OF
that sanguinary period rolled on they
brought mournful tidings TO the devoted
wife at home. Among the braves who
bit dust in hard-fought
battle poor WAS reported

qriefstricken widow recovered some-
thing ofthe naturally buoyant and Joy
Gus spirits. She met Mr.. L, and
mutual attachment sprung up, quickly
ripening into love. Mr.. Z--knew her
story, sympathized with her grief for the
dead husband, and after happy court
ship married her ia a lonely Georgia
town where she then resided. Mr. and
Mrs. lived happy together, as eY-
erybodv had predicted, and III due sea-

Helpful Hints.

steel nav be cleansed by rubbing
with a piece of wash leather dipped in
kerosene oil.
Dry clay can be rendered .pliable for
modelling by kneading with glycerine.
One way to utilize bread crumbs is to
dry them thoroughly in warm-not
hot-oven, roll fine. and keep IN jar
for frying oysters, etc.
In buying poultry. select chicken
with white flesh, pale yellow fat, lower
part of legs and ieetsmooth.
Beef fat is very nice if cooked thor
oughly in water and the fat dipped off
as it rises. 1t will remain soft, and is
preferred by many to lard.
It is recommended that papier maehe
articles be washed with a sponge and
cold water, dredged with flour while
damp and polished with flannel.
A beefs tongue if dry; should be
soaked for several hours, put on in cold
water aud boiled slowly four or five
bours.
Every night when going to bed put a
| little water into bowl and dip the feet
into it and then rub briskly with a bath
ing towel. This will induce warmth and
prevent chilblains.
An excellent authority states that a
man was cured of billousness by going
without his supper and drinking freely
of lemonade for time.
To remove ink stains from Turkey red

To prevent the skin from discoloring
after blow or fall, take little dry

q DOM forwarded a power of attorney,
and the ceremony OF marriage was per-
formed by priest at Fayal, marrying
the young girl to man thousands o

HOW 10 Cnre Fog Eating.


Sometimes the habit is formed by the
carelessness of the kitchen maid or
housekeeper, in throwing the egg shells
into the pail aud giving them with the
othe. waste to the hens. This should
never be done if you want the hens to
respect their own eggs. Understanding
the cause of this unthrifty habit, it is
not very difficult to provide q remedy.
From recent experience, we have
found that the habit is very much bro
ken by an abundant supply of crushed
shells. 1t had grown so bad in q flock
of twenty Light Brahmas, owing to neg
lect Of this ration, that they devoured
every egg, without the closest watching,
at the cacllle of every laying hen. Civ
ing the shells every morning, the cray-
ing ceased, and we found the eggs re-
naming in the nests undisturbed. As
assistant to this remedy, we manutac-
tured an egg-trap from a common nest
box. This is so simple that any one ac-
customed to the use OF tools can make 1t
in an hour or two. A slight inclination
of the board upon which the nest-egg
is fastened will cause the new-laid egg
to roll away from under the hen, beyond
her reach, as soon as 1t is dropped. The
rear board has the same inclination to-
the center, and projects over the other
board far enough to protect the egg
when it has rolled away The space be-
tween the boards IS just wide enough to
give free passage to the eggs. The egg
box may be lined with q handful ofsaW-
dust. or chat. to protect the shells from
cracking If the back board be furnished
with hinges. it can be used as lid, to
allow the removal of the eggs. II is a
complete egg-trap, and with the oyster
shells, in our case abated the nuisance
of egg seating. Many think, that when a
hen has contracted the habit of eeg-eat-
ing the shortest way is the best, and in.
stead of eating she is put in condition
to be eaten. But good layer is too
valuable to be given up withoutan effort
to reform her bad habit, often acquired
through the negligence of the owner.
The egg-trap works admirably, and Sc
cures the end desired by placing it out
of the power of the hen to do mischief.
