Household Hints.

A CURE for dlphtheria, proposed by
Mrs. Bingham, of Weathersfeld, CT,
consists of very hot bath and 10 food,
except ice and cold water, until the fe-
yer breaks.
If the syrup in which plums are to be
preserved is very hot when they are
dropped into it, they will cook 50 quick-
" that they will not lose their shape,
and if put into cans with care, Will well
repay one for taking the trouble.
A GOOD cement for putting tickets on
iron work and tin is thus made Take
rye meal, a little solution of CHE and
water, and make paste, but not too
thick; mix it with as much Venetian
turpentine as necessary. 1t viii stand
water.
A NICE way to serve lobste, is to
pound the meat to smooth paste, mix
ing little butter, pepper and salt, and
few bread crumbs with it, and lastly
stir in two eggs. Shape this mixture as
nearly like lobster as possible, pressing
it very firmly with your hands. Bake
IN a hot oven for twenty minutes,
FLAVOR your red raspberry jelly with
Joti WILL TdSp-
berries-both will be much improved.
Use both instead of either in making
pies or batter pudding, and mix them al
so for the table, for breakfast, lunch or
tea; sprinkle them Literally but net ex-
travagantly, with powdered sugar.
A GOOD relish to tax with lunch is
made of ham. Pound some pieces of
ham in mortar, just as fine as yon can
Season it with pepper and spice, AMI
moisten it with clarified butter. Put
this in a mould, or earthen bowl, and
press it in very tightly. Put it into the
oven for half an hour. Let it get per-
fectly cold. 1t can Their be cut into
thin slices. It is nice if used for fill
ing for sandwiches.
A DELICIOUS dish for breakfast is
made by boiling some potatoes until
tender, but not soft; remove them from
the water, dry them on hot plate,
then run them through coarse sieve.
If they were boiled in sailed water, they
will require no other seasoning. Rub
them through a sieve held over the dish
in which they are to be served, as any
handling will make the particles fall,
aud the effect will be spoiled.

Save All the Fodder,

The Prairie Farmer calls the attention
of farmers and others to the fact that
through the Eastern States the hay
crop has this season proved to be I'M
usually light. Already hay is quoted
in the market of Boston and New York
at prices ranging from $lS to $40 per
ton; while raw straw sells from So to
81 80 per ton. 1t is belived by those
who ought to know that before mid
winter is reached, those figures will go
much higher. In the Chicago market,
No. | timothy is quoted at $40; No.
at IS and 50. The severe andprotracted
drouths prevailing the past season in
various parts of the country have, in
many instances, proved disastrous to
the hay crop: SO much so, in fact, that
by some the shortage in the New En-
gland and Middle States is estimated as
approximating fifty per cent. With
these facts IN view, it Is plain that the
sweet, succulent grasses of the Western
prairies, in the form of baled hay, will
command good prices in the markets of
the East while naturally the scarcity of
hay there, and the consequent rise in
price will necessarily affect the state of
the market here. A writer in the
American Cultivator, on the question,
what shall the harvest be?" SAYS from
the hay fields (of the East the answer
comes, "a light yield and half filed
barns" 1t will therefore pay the farm
ers of the West to give some attention
to this matter. Farmers having a hay
press may well put it to work getting
what hay they have to sell in good
shape for marketing. There can be lit
tie doubt that after deducting the cost
of Transportation to the sea board, a fair
profit will be left for both shippers and
farmers. To this end to, we need hard
ly to call attention to the necessity of
saving all the corn fodder possible. Its
value as food for cattle, or even horses
and sheep, when cut and properly cured,
is so we'll known we need not discuss
the question here. The point is, that
plenty of this sort of feed will leave
more surplus hay which oan lB spared
to supply the demand for it in those
states where the yield has been light
and the barns are only half filed.

0ueer Sights i'm Mexico.

At any time of the dav, but particu-
larly on Sunday, may he witnessed a
most interesting sight, writes City of
Mexico correspondent of the Baltimore
American. All along the length of this
canal the whole populace turn out to do
their washing, and at the same time to
perform their personal additions While
was there horse race claimed the at
tention of the mass of people, who had
come out under the cool shade of the
trees. Right near could be seen whole
families bathing In the warm waters of
the canal. Young and comely women
would step down and disrobe with as
much sang froid as if in the privacy of
a bathroom, and paid no attention to
the bystanders. There whole rows of
men, women, and children, of all ages,
In natures broadcloth, enjoyed to the
utmost the genial warmth OF the swift
flowing stream.

CURING Sun- ttOWer Seed

Mrs. l.. r., of Woodford County ILL.,,
writes the Prairie Farmer, asking the
best way to cure sunhower seeds. If
the correspondent means a method of
curing after they have been gathered.
the answer is, they will cure themselves.
A good way, and at the same time to
save the greatest amount of seed from
waste, is to tie a light muslin cloth over
each head after they begin to ripen.
This, hanging sack like, will catch drop
ping seed shattered out by wind and
storm, and also protects them from the
ravages of birds of various kinds, which
regard sundower seed as quite good
enough for them TO eat. Another way
is to cut the heads after they have be-
gun to ripen, and hang them up in dry,
airy room to cure; they can then be
threshed out and stored in dry place,
either in sacks or covered vessels as de-
sired

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.
Within the Forge,

He stood up gravely 10 his work,
And little rocked that the day was long
Never was he the one TO shirk
His task amid the grumbling throng.
The plant was tossed from lip to lip,
That times were hard and wages low,
He only grasped with tirmer grip
The hammer TO deal heavier blow
Thick was the smoke and fierce the heat,
And dark as demons the men appeared
From dawn to dusk, on weary feet,
And all with dust and CRIME besmeared.
Never murmur broke from him,
Snatches, instead, of an cd time song,
The while his fellows, scowling and grim,
Sullenly grumbled the whole day long
He thought not much on his toilsome life,
Thinking of labor but makes the more:
But he smiled al thoughts of the faithful wife
And the children that played about the door
Thus he stood by the furnace glare,
The brave strong soul with his heart aglow;
And life to him was song and prayer,
And 1t is TO all who make 1t so.

Facts Relating to the Draft Horses OF
France.

While some people in America call
fall horses imported from France Nor
mans, it is a lact that there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; the name Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Bouflanals. The
Percherons are the most highly prlzeo
of all French races, and all departments
of France 90 to the Perche for stations
to improve their local breeds. The
Percheron Stud Book of France is pub
ished under the authority of the
French government, and admits only all
imals of pure Percheron origin and
birth, established by their pedigreef
and the pedigrees of their ancestors fol
generations The fact that no recorded
pedigrees can be furnished with any OF
the more common breeds of France, ex-
plains the eagerness of many importers
I'm insisting that ali horses imported
from France are alike, and that pedi-
grees are useless.
1t is a well-known fact that what
man gives for horse over from 5000 to
$90O-the price of q good grade-is paid
for purity of blood; and where the sell
Ter is not able to give the recorded pedl-
gree of the animal sold as evidence OF
additional value, he has no right to ask
it. With these facts before him, no in
telligent man will buy horse imported
from France unless he is recorded with
his pedigree m full in the stud book IN
France, and the importer furnishes with
his bill of sale the French certificate OF
registration, as this is his only guaran7
tee of safety, large number of horses
of unknown blood being imported to
this country and sold as pure bred.

Keeping Butter Sweet.

Mr. L. B. Arnold, in conversation
recently with the editor of the New
England Farmer, said he had solved the
problem of keeping butter sweet for an
indefinite period by taking it from
the churn in the granular form, ard
after rinsing it sufficiently in water or
brine, then packing it i'll tirkins of
strong brine without any working what
ever. A mistake made by many butter
makers is that of working their butter
too much; it is sufficient to work Just
enough to distribute the salt evenly
through it,

The Old Rabbits AdmOnitiOn.

The Talmud says that an old Rabbi
was awakened by one of his twelve sons,
who said: Behold my eleven brothers

awakens to pray in the still watches of

you had better sleep also, than wake
to censure your brothers"
Take the lesson, o, man, and apply
1t. A duty is but i'll done, that is only
done so as to contrast with the neglect
of others. More beautiful is it that
ones lips should excuse fault, than
that they should censure it.

Important Decision Affecting Trade
Marks

In the suit of The Charles A. VoPeler
Company, Baltimore, Maryland, Z. S.
A., against Parrot 81 Co., of London,
England, the Court of Appeals has
granted the plaintiffs perpetual iniunc
ton with costs. The actien which grew
out of an alleged infringement of plain
tiffs' wellknown trademark, st. Jacobs
Oil, was originally heard in the High
Court of Justice, where Vice. Chancellor
Bacon, without going into the merits of
the case, considered that it was one that
should 60 before the Comptroller of
Trade Marks. From this opinion The
Charles A. Nogeler Company Y, appealed,
claiming that they were being injured
by the goods OF the defendants, entitled
st. Davids Oil, being mistaken for
theirs, and that while they ha3 taken
steps to bring case before the Comp
troller of Trade Marks. months would
elapse before decision could Je OBJ

seriously injured by such delay, re

that perpetual Injunction vas made

by the defendants, and the Baltimore
house has thus achieved double vic
