Apple Roll or Pudding: Make a

not very stiff. Peel and slice rather
thick tart apples; roll the paste as for

roll as tight as possible; cut the ends
even and put in steamer. Steam one

the end and serve with butter and sugar

Shepherd Pie: Butter a small
platter very thoroughly, and spread
over it warm mashed potato mixed with
enough milk to make it little soft.
Flute the potato around the edge of the

brown as pie crust and stiffened enough
to be easily cut, pour over it mince of

Paris green has no effect on squash
bugs. This is because all the true bugs
as the squash bugs, lice, etc have a
beak or proboscis with which they
puncture the epidermis of the leaf and
sip the juices from its interior. In this
way they avoid the poison by sticking
their beaks through it. A good way to
capture squash bugs is to lay pieces of
board under the vines. and the bugs,
crawling under item at night, can be
captured in the morning. The bugs are
usually found with their|feet against the
boards, pressing their backs to the earth
to keep them warm.-N. y Herald

is rather larger than the average of all
the measurements of dogs blood. But
it is not rare To find specimens of dogs
blood in which the corpuscles range so
large that their average size is larger
than that of many samples of human
blood" When it is ref1embered that
the measurements of human blood by
so-called high authorities vary from
1.3O5O to 1.463O of an inch, expert testi-
mony on this subject takes on serious
aspect, and juries should receive it with
great caution. =

The Rainy DAY.

What has become of the good, old
fashioned rainy day of our childhood,
when we got up and found the windows
of Heaven opened, and sheet after sheet
Of sweet, freshsmelling soft water pour
ing down like "a benediction upon the
earth; when we knew we could stay
home from school, and hunt intoall the
old corners, and lie on our stomachs to
read books zoo large too hold, and have
warm bread with apple-jam on it, and
stand under the caves TO grow; when il
rained in steady, business-like way all
day, with no let-up, and little pools of
water were on the hearth, and mother
sat by the west window and cut carpet
rags, and told us about the deluge IN a
way that always convinced us she must
have been there?
That rainy day, which never failed to
come just so often, when we were allow.
ed to follow her into the spare room
where Sister Cynthia was "laid out"
and which smelled of sweet lavender and
rose leaves. There mother told us of
the one little sister dead before we were
born, how pretty and smart she was,
how she knew all the catechism by
heart, and could say chapters and chap
tiers from the Bible without ever look
ing on. Aud we saw her picture ard
her clothes, and subdued and halfsad.
dened we stole up to the attic to watch
the nimble bright-eyed mice come out
and play. And when at sunset long,
bright strip of sky shone out from a
great, gray moving panorama of cloud,
we were more than happy. 1t was like
the resurrection of new world. And
there was always a rainbow; and moth
er would tell us its significance, and ex-
plain its seven primary cOlors, and al
ways add. II had scarf once Just like
the rainbow. Father brought it to me
from the West Indies" We thought
our mother a queen then for having
had such treasure But there are no
such days now Don't tell us we are
getting old The weather has changed
NOT We. There are cyclones and rain
spouts, and other revolutions in nature,
but the dear, dreamy, Old-fashioned
rainy day, with its remembered spells
and charms, is among the things thPt
are gone. But there are gains for all
our losses, and some day we shall find
them all ag in in the land where our
dreams come true.

A visit to plano factory gives an
opportunity for seeing much that is of
interest. There is fascination in
watching the processes by which from
rough piles of lumber and coils of wire
the instrument which can become one
either of torture or pleasure is fash
toned.
Apiano may in the making be divided
into four parts: the case; the framing
and sounding board; the stringing; the
keys and action. The case is the most
expensive part of the instrument
though upon it depends none of the
value of the piano rs a musical
instrument. Until within few years,
cases were almost invariably made of
rosewood, but now every variety of
wood from mahogany to holly is used.
1t must not be supposed, however, that
a case of rosewood or any other sort of
fancy wood is made of that material
entirely. The real case is of white
wood, and the appearance of the most
expensive wood is given by a thin We
neering, applied with extreme care.
The framing has for the last sixty ears
been formed in part or whole of iron
This is necessary ON account Of the i'm
mense strain produced by the strings,
the sum of whose tentiOn amounts to
from seven 10 ten tons. The sounding
board is Of thin spruce. The strings
are Of iron wire covered with either
copper or steel wire or else plain. The
action and keys are formed of ivory,
white wood and felt.
