Sweet Peas.

Among outdoor climbing plants the
sweet-pea takes a prominent place as a
general favorite among lovers of flowers;
and surely it should be a favorite, for
but few garden plants are harder, and
none sweeter or more beautiful, than
this enterpfising climber. If planted
early in spring, even though the wealth
er be not fair, the seeds soon terminate
and send up a vigorous growth, which
is not diminished until cold weather
and frost come IN. As the sweet-pea
continues to bloom all summer, and
makes a very heavy growth, it forms a
very good screen for unsightly objects,
or it may be made to act as a protection
for tender plants. 1t grows to a height
of six feet, and may therefore prove a
very ornamental covering for a trellis
work OF rough fences. There is
quite a variety Of cclors of
sweet-peas-white, rose, red, crimson.

MASHED POTATOES. The potatoes
were peeled and cut once in two and
boiled until done. The water was then
drained of, and after steaming a min
ute or so in the kettle, O tablespoonful
81 salt was sprinkled over them and thew
were mashed fine. A tea-cup of thin
cream and a piece of butter the size of
MI egg were stirred in.
FRIED CHIcKEN.-The fowls were
dressed the evening before they were
wanted for use, washed and hung up in
the cellar. In the morning they were
mt up and parboiled in seasoned water
salt and a little pepper were used) a
short time. They were then drained
from the liquid and fried in butter IN
TIL they werea nice brown. The water in
which they were boiled was then boiled
down and thickened with flour and but
ter, for gravy.
Corn BREAD.-For the corn bread
two cups of sweet milk were used, n
OF sour, three ~teacupfuls of corn meal,
one of flour, one-half cup of molasses.
one teaspoonful of salt, one of soda;
steamed two hours, and afterwards
baked a half hour, to brown the top.
STEwED CABBAGE.-The cabbage was
sliced fine and cooked an hour OF so in
a pint or so of water; salt and pepper
were used for seasoning; then a teacup-
tul OF vinegar was added and a large
tablespoon of butter, and it was sim
lnered another hour on the top of the
stove.
CUCUMBER PICKLEs.-When prepared
use, the pickles were taken from the
brine, the large ones cut in two, and
the whole covered with hot water, and
thep pan containing them set on the stove.
The water was changed as often as it

.resh enough to suit the taste, they were
framed In a colander and while hot
we're packed in glass jars, and covered

should be planted three or four inches
deep, early in the spring. The plants
should be grown about an inch apart,
and support should be furnished early.
Either t%rellis, lattice or bush makes an
admirable support.
The varieties of sweet-peas are num-
erous. Butterfly is a very beautiful one,
having a pure white ground delicately
laced with lavender blue; it is exceed
lngly fragrant, and is desirable for bou-
quets. Scarlet Invincible is remark
ably fragrant, and produces a great
number of crimson flowers. Violet
Queen is dwarfer in habit than any of
the other varieties the flowers are of a
deep violet color. Almost all of the va
rleties advertised in seedmen's catalo-
CUES will be found to be very beautiful

Gent1emen's Hats,

1.-THE styles in g~entlemen's hats" said
a halter in answer to a reporter of the
New York Mail and Express, differ
very little from those of last winter.
The crown of the Derby is higher and
the curl and the brim arc both fatter.
In silk hats the bell is lighter and the
brim is more open, smaller and more
coarsely rolled. The Fedora and Al
pine, the soft hats, are not worn so
much. Black is the prevailing color
and the silk hat is the only dressy hat.
There Is no difference between the Young
mans hat and the old mans hat. eyrept
that the latter has a wider brim. One
can hardly say that is true, either, for
the old men are getting quite Juvenile
in their tastes. Before long they will
be the only ones wearing the narrow
brim high hat.

Widow of Santa Anna.

The widow of the famous Mexican
general, Santa Anna, is now living
quietly in her native state, and seldom
intrudes into the outer world. Mrs.
Santa Anna is but forty-eight years old
though it is a wonder she does not look
a hundred. Santa Anna was president
of Mexico three years before she was
born. She was plighted to him in her
cradle, and married to him when she
was thirteen. He was then a military
dictator, sleeping on his sword, beset
by constant peril. In six months he
had lost his leg and got into a Texas
prison. For twenty years her life was
spent in a camp, surrounded by the
whirl of warfare. Her husband was
five times president of Mexico, four
times military dictator in absolute
power. He was banished, recalled,
banished again, and finally died when
with his wife in exile as a traitor. She
has seen much "glory, and has received
unlimited adulation, but she hardly
ever enjoyed one thoroughly peaceful
month in her life.

Sinking Jury DUTY.

The commissioner of jurors in New
York has given that city a shock by dis.
closing the fact that out of its million
and a half of inhabitants only 10, 45O
can be called on for jury service. Little
by little exemptions have been made
by law until now the eligible list has
been whitfield down to a small and
special public with whom, it may be
added, the criminal lawyers have got
very well acquainted. Under the law a
juror must be the owner of real or per,
sonal property valued at $3.50, and by
this clause alone 10000 persons escape.
Physical disability releases 30. 900 more.
and 10000 get off on account of mem.
bership in the militia. Clergvmen.
physicians, dentists, lawyers, teachers,
pilots, officers of vessels, fremen, po-
hcemen, telegraph operators and fed.
eral and local office holders are all ex-
empt also. 1t follows that nearly every.
body who should serve is released
Thus, out of the great mercantile pub

only $50 out 4,076 members are liable

Cows-Select cows rich in butter

Water-Let cows drink only such
water as you would drink yourself.
Care of cows-Gentleness and clean
illness.
Care of milk-Strain while warm;
submerge in water 48 degrees. Open
setting go degrees.
Skimming-Skim at twelve hours; at
tw~enty-four hours.
Care of cream-Care must be eXer-
cised to ripen cream by frequent stir
rings, keeping at 8 degrees until slight

without inside fixtures. Lever butter

Value of Good Bulls.

A correspondent of a Chicago stock
paper writes this: "Last year I spent a
couple of weeks in Iowa, and I could
not help noticing the difference of the
grade OF stock, even in the same Iocali-
ty. Some farmers would have a fine
herd of high grades, others the worst
OF scrubs; and the breeder of scrubs
would talk of the high grades of his
stock, and give me a long pedigree of
his bull, and ask many questions in re-
gard to the Texans, and about the long
horned, wild range cattle, when, in
fact, the Texas grade of to-day is better
thai the average of his own herd. I
call to mind several cases where good,
thrifty farmers were using a sire that
was inferior to many a western grade.
The fact OF the case is western men do
not hesitate to pay from 800 to $500
Tor a sire that is what they want, and
thus, so far as I have seen, the range
cattle are ~improveing faster, and be-
commlng more uniform in size and
style than the average stock kept on
farms.
