The Home Table.

Cooking, in many families, is looked upon
as u matter Of small Importance, and all
ceremony or etiquette connected with it is
dispensed with. Tablecloths and napkins,
where there are any, are used until they are
so soiled and disfgured as to be absolutely
disgraceful; dishes are nicked and cracked.

The treatment which colts receive has a
telling effect upon them when they are grown
up. Injuries and blemishes are like the
scars on trees; they increse in size as the
body increases. 1t is an undisputed fact
that the condition of the feet of horse is
more or less affected by the condition Of the
soil on which the feet are treated in any
kind of soil. If they are kept confined to
stables and compelled TO stand continually
upon hard plank foor, the feet will be more
or less injured by it; OF if they are constant
ly kept on soft, loamy ground the fee, will
be soft and spongy, and in about as bad
condition as if bruised up by being stabbed
continually.

-Horses that have been hard at work
through the week need the day Of rest as
well as their owners. Road driving is, for
a good many horses. much harder than
work on the pillow, as the hard surface not
only tests their feet but jars the frame in
trotting.

RooTs FOR Cows.-Turnips, potatoes or
beets should be sliced before tkey are fed
to the stock. Cattle are easily choked, as
they chew food very little before it goes into
the stomach.

SWEET Corn FoDDER.-As fast as the
sweet corn is picked from the garden, the
stalks should be cut and fed to COWS. They
are much richer and sweeter than other
corn-stalks but if left to dry up, as they
often are. most of their value is lost. Where
milk is sold, sweet corn cut up with ears
on is profitable feed for cows. The small
varieties will ear freely when sown quite
thickly in drills, with spaces between the
rows wide enough for cultivation.

Fruit ana Cholera.
New Work Herald1


On the dctestable old theory that
whatever is enjoyable should be con-
,lemned. a cholera scare always elicits n
TRADE against the use Of fruit. More
perniciOu> nonsense never was uttered.
Bad truii-unripe or dccayed fruits
always dangerous to health, but good
fruit acids are the best natural correct
ives of internal conditions which predis.
pore TO cholera. The season of special
debiiiy-ihe season when nobody feels
exactly right physically-is that portion
of the year when apples and oranges
have disappeared and early fruits and
vegetables are not 1T for use. Meat, Of
which Americans consume more in
summer than any other inhabitants of
the temperate zone, is far more likely
than fruit TO reduce the alimentary canal
to the condition which renders the eater
a probable subject for cholera, for in dis.
posing of such food the digestion cannot
keep pace with the palate. Ripe fruit is
likely not only to prevent cholera, but
to lessen human dependence upon the
doctor and the bar keeper.

A worthy congregation of a Virginia

safety Of 1eallroaa Travelling.
Scientific Americana

According TO published statements,
not single individual riding on
a passenger train in Masachu-
sets was killed the past year, an-
less the cause was directly traceable
to the carelessness Of the person killed.
Over OF 900. 900 passengers were carried,
al an average distance of fifteen miles
each. According 70 this statement, II is
safer to bc on a passenger train in Mas
sachusetts than to be almost anywhere
else. Il is a remarkable fact that fewer
accidents causing death occur on subur-
han trains, or those running through
ihickly settled districts, than in the
open and sparsely settled country. The
Northwestern Lumberman concludes
that the reason for this is that more care
is taken with such trains; that the
shocking railroad accidents that are con.
tinually happening are the result Of
gross and criminal carelcssness on the
part of both managers and employees.

The Art OF Engsaviag.
I.J. A. D. in Detroit Free Press,


In wood engraving the picture is
drawn with pencil on the block, and then
with fine chiscls the wood on each side
of the lines is cut away, leaving the pic
ture in relief. These raised lines are
touched with ink and the paper pressed
upon them. Wood engraving is an art
that ladies can follow with success.
About thirty years ago the first attempt
was made in this country 10 instruct la
dies in this art by the Woman's Art
school of Philadelphia, Pa.
Il would be tedious 10 describe the va.
fious methods of copperplate engraving,
which is the reverse OF wood engraving,
in that the depressions receive the ink.
tine branch of il called etching has
come into general practice within the
last fifty years II has been fav0rite
recreation of some Of the royal family Of
England. II seems peculiarly adapted
to landscape. IL is done by means Of a
varnish which is first put over the cop
perplate, u copy of the drawing in pen
Gil or ink is then drawn ON ii, when the
engraver traces the entire drawing with
a graver, cutting only the varnish.
Aquaf0rtis is then poured over the plate
which cuts into the copper where the
varnish is removed: the acid doing
the wcrk of the graver, labor is dimin.
ished.
II Is said that the great demand for
costly engraving In bank notes has been
the means Of perfecting steel engravings.
II Is worth while to compare bank bills
of the present day to see the improve
ment. To engrave the steel plate re.
quires great deal Of labor and skill.
OF all the art workers ] am acquainted
with none have impressed me as exhibit
ing so much patient, minute application as
the steel engraver But the plate once
made there are means Of making copies
in soft steel. which are in turn hardened,
and thus many impressions may be
made.
Lithography is engraving on stone.
II IL done in two ways. One Is similar
TO copperplate engraving; the other to
etching. The latter method commends
itself tn ladies' have known several
who became very skillful in 1t. The
drawing is put upon q stone especially
adapted TO this purpose, found in b.
varia and Hungary, with an oily crayon;
then nm acid Is employed TO eat away the
stone not covered with the crayon.

lPall Mall Gasette.1

The other morning, u very sultry one,
two cows came to our gate, evidently on
the lookout for something, and after be.
ing at first somewhat puzzled by their
pleading looks the thought struck me
that they might be in want of water. No
sooner had this occurred 10 me than |
had some water brought in a large YES
sci, which the poor animals ut once
sucked up with the greatest eagerness.
The pair then sauntered contentedly
away to a field near at hand. In about
half an hour or so we were surprised,
and amused not little. by seeing our
two friends marching up TO the gate, ac-
companied by three other cows. The
water-tap was again called into requisi-
ton, and the new corners were in like
manner helped literally. Then, with
gratifed and repeated 'boo-oo's" ian

slowly marched of to their pasturage.
II was quite clear TO us that the two
first two callers, gratifed at their
friendly reception, had strolled down to
their sister gossips and dairy compan-
ions, and had informed them-how !
cannot say. can you!-of their liberal
entertainment, and then had taken the
vary pardonable liberty of inviting them
up to our cottage. This morning We
were again visited by the first couple,

The incident given by the Hon. T. T.
Spaulding in the musical career Of ths
late Governor Tod recalls another in
stance of the governor, in which he gave
some advice to the writer, who had just
entered upon the practice of medicine at
Youngstown, Ohio, some thirty-fve years
ago. He said that a professional mans
reputation was often influenced by the
amount of fees he charged, and gave this
account of his first big case, shortly after
he commenced the law practice at War
ren. One of the Buffalo n. Y. banks
had contest with other parties amount
ing to a large sum of money, and the bank
sent for him to come to Buffalo and take
the case. He was greatly astonished to
receive such request when there were
eminent lawyers in Buffalo, but decided
to go, and notified the bank TO that ef-
feet. The only public conveyance was
by stage, which required about two days
and nights to make the trip. The case
was strongly contested by the opposition,
out ut was NutttSsfut, oho wv "shN
came out ahead.
IL was nearly night when the decision
was given. The stage left for the west
In the forenoon. The bankers congratu-
lated him upon his work, and asked him
to bring in his bill in the morning He
went TO his hotel revolving in his mind
what charge to make. His first thought
was 300. But he thought that would
not do. The bank must have had some
idea that he was lawyer of ability or
they would not have sent so far into the
country. and he did not sleep very well
over il, but towards morning he con-
cluded that he would make the fee $500,
and dropped to sleep. When he arose
and got his breakfast. he called around
at the bank, and found them feeling
well over the result. They asked him
his fee. Five hundred dollars" he re-
piled. They paid il, and said il was a
very reasonable fee. He continued their
legal adviser afterwards. but was salts
fed that if he had charged but the 800
they would not have regarded him as
much of a lawyer.
