Household Hints and Recipes.

Ornamental tides arc made of panel
of black velvet with border of ribbon
and of lace. The velvet should be en-
bellished by a spray of flowers embroid-
cred.
Delicious filling for pie is made by
stewing some prunes until they are very
soft, remove the stones swceten to your
taste, and add, for one pie, the we'll
beaten whites of two eggs; beat with
the prunes until thoroughly mixed Bake
with two crusts, or if YOU can get it, use
whipped cream in place of the upper
crust.
When roasting lamb or fowls, if you
do not like the flavor given by thin
slices of salt pork or of bacon, which
are usually put over them, take some
hard butter, roll it in -four, and separate
it into small Jumps and lay it here and
ness and flavor to the liquid with which
you basic them.
To clean old marble or alabaster i'm
mcrse the objects for two or three days
in water to soften the dirt, lime, etc
Then take them out and clean them with
brush. When cleaned in this way as
we'll as possible put them in mixture of
one part of concentrated muriatic acid
and three parts of water, until they APP
pear perfectly clean.
Beef dripping, which is so useful in
place of lard in many dishes, should be
clarified; this may be very readily done
by pouring boiling water over it, and
stirring it so that the impurities will be
washed out, and will settle to the bot
tom. Let it cool, and the drippings will
rise to the top; if it is not quite so clear
as YOU would like to have it, put it into
clean saucepan, and after heating it,
strain it through piece of muslin.
Boiled Indian pudding is improved for
some people if suet is added to give it
richness. Chop quarter of pound of
beef suet very fine, add an equal guam
titv of sugar, one teaspoonfull of ginger,
half teaspoonful of salt, enough sweet
milk to moisten the meal add tea
spoonful of baking powder, or about a
cup of sour milk and a teaspoonful Of
soda. This should boil in bag Tor at
least three hours, and be served hot with
sauce.
A nice dish for dessert is made by
soaking half a pint of tapioca in cold
water for two hours, then let it boil
gently until it softens, slice canned
peaches and put into pudding DISH
and pour the tapioca over them. Bake
until the tapioca is perfectly tender
serve with sugar and cream. Dried or
evaporatcd peaches may be used for this
dish, and if they are properly cooked and
softened it is almost as good as when the
canned fruit is used.
An excellent pudding is made in this
way Cut apples into halves, peel and
core them, put some dates or prunes
from which the stones have boen re-
moved in the place of the cores; cover
them with cold boiled rice; moistcn the
rice well with milk and water, putting
in enough so that the apples will not
burn down on the bottom of the dish
bake in moderate oven for an hour
cover the pudding dish if there is danger
of the rice becoming too brown; serve
with sauce made Of one we'll beaten egg,
one pint of milk, one cup of sugar, a
little grated nutmeg or mace.

Restoring Faded Flowers.

After bouquet is dropping beyond all
remedies of fresh water, the japanese can
bring it back TO all its first glory by a
simple and seemingly most destructive
operation. \ recent visitor to Japan
says: 81 received some days ago beau
tiful bunch of flowers from japanese
acquaintance. They continued to live
in all their beauty for nearly two weeks,
and at last they faded. Just as l wa:
about to have them thrown away, the
same gentleman (Japanese) came to see
me. / showed him the faded flowers,
and told hun thar, though lasting long
time, they had now become useless
'Oh, no., said he, only put the ends
of the stems into the fire, and they will
become as good as before | was in
crcdulous; SO he took them himself and
held the stem ends in the fire until they
were charred. This was in the morning
At evening they were again looking fresh
and vigorous, and have continued so fol

Around every house there will be
found more or less bones, thrown out
from the kitchen, and there are also addi.
lions to this supply from animals that
meet an accidental death on the farm.
The bones and carcasses of all such

hausted fields.
The cause of the laying of soft eggs is
want of sufficient calcareous matter and
the stimulating effects of pepper and
warm feed Some wheat screenings
should be given in place of SO much corn
and potatoes, which are too rich in starch
and defective in lime and other materials
needed for eggs. Give every day to the
fowls one pint of the following mixture:
A peck of ash of burned bones or oyster
shcels, finely powdered, one pound of
flowers of sulphur, and one peck of wheat
Sran. This should DC mixed with scalded
meal, used moist, so that the mixture
will adhere to it.
The greatest difficulty with heavy
mixers approaching the period of calv.
ing is reducing the flow Of milk. The
RurdI World says that with ordinary
cows there is no trouble in the matter,
because the milk secretions begin to fail
as soon as the COW becomes pregnant,
but with heavy and persistent mixers,
if the feed is of the right kind and Of
sufficient quantity, there is no necessity
for making any special efforts for drying
up the COW. The secretion will not be
large at all events, but the needed phos-
pilates and nitrogen should be supplied
for the building up of the frame of the
calf.

Tree planters should learn to know
that we'll grown yearling is usually the

Many old pastures cannot be conven-
icntly plowed If free from weeds, har-
rowing the bare places late in the fall
and sowing little timothy and June
grass will insure a much larger amount
of feed next season.
Fertilizers aid nutrition, and in this
way assist tree or plant in its struggle
with injury from insect attacks, or the
attacks Of disease from any other cause.
In this way alone fertilizers aid in the
destruction of insect pests.

1t is not generally known that refuse
tobacco, including stems, has a consid
sable value as manure. In places where
tobacco is grown or manufactured on q
large scale, this refuse tobacco can some
times be had for little more than the cost
of drawing away. 1t is very rich in tho
mineral elements of plant food.
Now that the time has come for put
ting cattle in stables some arrangement
should be made for saving the liquid

A MOTHERS DREAD.
The Wonderful Uistrionic Developm cnt OF n
Famous Child Aetress.


Inc New York public was surprised few
| years ago at the arrest, at tho instgation of
| the Society fer the Prevention of Cruelty to
| Children, of little Corinne the child actress.
| The little girl less than eight years old, was
taken from her parents and kept in confine-
| ment until released by order of the court and
mayor of the city. Mrs. Jennie Kimball,
| the mother of Corinne, who has been known
| to the public for many years as vocalist and
| comedienne, has devoted the greatest care
to the training and education of Corinne,
and the result is a development of natural
faculties really phenomenal.
"When did you discover Corinne's remark.

81 can hardly remember the time when her
eyes would not sparkle at tho sound of mu-

Band, and in 1879 made her debut as Little
Buttercup in the Juvenile Pinafore Company

various roles nearly everywhere"
Mrs Kimball is lady of fine presence and

The Mason g. HamIin company, long the
most famous manufacturers of reed organs in
the world, have commenced the manufacture
of upright pianos, having effected an i'm
provement which they regard as the most
important introduced in many years. An
ingenious arrangement fastens the strings di-
rectly to the iron plate of the instrument,
giving greater clearness and purity of tone,
with absence of all mere noise. At the same
time it renders the instrument more durable,
less liable to get out of order. The Mason q
Hamlin pianos are certainly exquisite instru'
ments, and, coming from these thoroughly
well known makers, may be depended upon
to be all they represent them. - Boston

There are innumerabe instances where
cures have been effected by Scovilrs Sarsa-
parilla, or Blood and Liver Syrup, for all
disc ases Of the blood, when the patient had
been given up by physicians. 1t is one of the
best remedies ever offered to the public, and
as it is prepared with the greatest care, as a
specific for certain diseases, it is no Jnder
that it should be more etfectual than hastily
written and carelessly prepare prescriptions.
Take Scovilrs Blood and Liver Syrup for all
disorders arising from impure blood. 1t is
