now too often thrown together in such
haphazard, careless manner that it is
wonder they ever produce even an APP
proximately satisfactory result. Good
material is too often blamed for produc-
ing bad results which might have been
avoided if each ingredient had been
weighed according to the formula or re-
cipe supposedly followed. The servant
might be prevented from accepting I'm
der-weights from the butcher or the gro
Ger if she knew her mistress was apt to
weigh the goods when they were re-
ceived. The butcher would soon stop
weighing his hand with the meat ii he
knew that his customers owned a pair
of scales and had no hesitancy in using
them. A nest of measures, holding
from gill to quart, are very useful
articles in kitchen, and they should be
used on all occasions in preparing food.

The partly used pillow points thrown

Most kinds of fruit trees thrive best on
rolling land. Hardy grapes do well on
almost any soil with Il little care Sandy
ridges are best adapted to their growth,
but sand and leaf mold mixed with I'm
derdrained clay will produce large vines
and fine yields of fruit.
Drainage is not less valuable to the
stockraiser than to the grain farmer. 1t
lengthcns the season both in the spring

and allows the cultivation of the finer
and more nutritious grasses-three most
important considerations.
Farmers who grow only few toma-
toes in rich gardens do not generally
know that this vegetable is more sue
cessfully grown in fields with moder-
ate fertility. There is less exuberance
of vine but earlier and highcr-havored
fruit, with less tendency to rot.
1t used to be thought that only sand
was suitable for garden purposes. For
very early forcing some mixture Of sand
is advantageous. But heavy soils. even
clay, are good when well drained, and
by some practical gardeners are preferred
for the bulk of their later paintings.
In selecting strawberry plants for q

plowed when thoroughly saturated with

Household Hints.

To DESTROY Morris IN FURNITURE.-
Pulverizcd borax well showed in all the
cracks and seams; if necessary, sprinkle
all over the furniture; it will not dis
color or injure in any way the furniture
or carpet.
To CLEANSE COLLARS AND WRIST
BANDS. Grease the soilcd parts before
wetting, with any kind of fat or drip
ping let them remain a few hours, or
over night wash with soap in hot water.
They will become wonderfully clean.
To CLEAN STEEL ENGRAvING~: Place
the engraving in a shallow dish or tray
cover to the depth of one half inch with
a weak solution of chloride of lime about
teaspoonful to pint of spring water)
for about six hours; pour OFF carefully
without touching the paper, and dry in
the sun: afterward remove the deposit
carefully with camel's hair brush from
the face of the picture.
To RESTORE THE HAIR AFTER ILLNESS:
Equal part. of best brandy and strong
black tea, shaken we'll together and
rubbed we'll into the roots of the hair
once daily, will usually restore the hair
after long illness BE careful not to
scratch or irritate the scalp with rough
combing and brushing. The mixture
should be made at least once in three
days, even in cool weather.
70 SET THE Color ~ SrocKrNGs
When washed for the first time. use a
little OK gall (Which cah be procured at
the druggists use it in the first water
only also have a teaspoonful of powdered
,f h,,t
very little soap; after tho first use Of OK
gall, boraX will answer every purpose :;
do not let the stockings remain long in
any water; hang in the shade to dry.
TO SOFTEN HARD WArER.-Take two
pounds Of washing soda and one pound
of common lime, and boil in five gallons
of water for two or three hours; then
stand away to settle and dip oil The clear
water from the top, and put into Jug.
Can be used for washing dishes or
cleaning, and one teacuplul in boiler
of clothes, put in after the water is hot,
will whiten the clothes and soften the
water, without injury to the hands or
clothes.
To CLEAN BLACK LACE.-Place the
lace on a clean table; have one teaspoon
quart of hot water; take soft brush
and use the bOraX water freely; after all
the grease spots or soiled places have
been removed, use plenty Of warm water
with sponge; 60 all over the places so
as to rinse off all the borax water; place
the lace--while damp, and after picking
out niccly-between pieces of old black
silk or cashmere, and press with warm
iron until dry; be careful not to use a
hot iron.

Shying Horses.

One of the most dangerous disabilities
of the horse, especially if it be a saddle
horse, is the act of shying, too often pro-
duced by Furnishing the green young
horse for "getting up" at unused sights.
The habit may at length become dam
gerOus vice. Any horse is liable to shy.
Instead of being punished for it, he
shoIld be led to familiarize himself with
sights and sounds near to him, by the
only senses he can use. These are the
horse terrified at the sound of artillery,
brass bands, or other noises if made to
stand as still as possible while these
sounds are continued, soon loses the
sense of fear and curiosity is excited
Beating only increases the fright. Most
horses will jump the first time sheet Of
paper is blown under their feet. Whip
ping will cause them to become frantic at
recurrence, more from the fear of the
lash than the paper itself. The better
plan is to let them see the paper until
instinct prompts them to approach the
object. A horse never gets frightened
at any object once he is used to it. If
he can be made to approach a locomo-
tive and place his nose against 1t, how
ever long it may take, the locomotive
being at rest, he will at length wish to
do so, and will thereafter regard it with
Indifference. Who has not seen the child
"shy around" some suspicious object,
and at length approach it, if alone. 1t
is the same with the young horse.
Singing in the horse, however, is often
the result of near sightedness. If sus-
pccted, "a critical examination should be
made, for if the disability lies in the
formation Of the eye the animal is not
tit for saddle use, nor use in single har-
ness. Driven double, however, he soon
comes to rely on his mate, and the disa-
bility is not serious. Above all, a horse
inclined in the least to shy should never
be intrusted to lady unless she be a
thoroughly accomplished horsewoman. -

Mountains in the valley of Quito.

The mountain region of which Quito
is the centre is described by CORE
spondcnt of the Chicago Inter- Ocean as
follows:
Twenty VOLCANOES, and more than fifty
mountain peaks over 10000 feet high
compose the sublime aggregation that
illustrate the omnipotC nee of their Gre.
ator in the valley of Quito. Here all noun.

tai an army of their grandest giants.
One sierra bends off TO the cast, holds in
its lap the ancient city of B6gota, rolls
off thousand streams to form the Grin
oco and terminates in the beautiful noun
tain Of Caracas.
Another clings to the Pacific, whose
incessant pillows vas its feet, and hum
bling itself when it crosses the isthmus,
spreads and rises again in the Cordilleras
Of Mexico, and the Rocky mountain

active (Cotopaxi, Sangai and Piohincha),
twelve are dormant. and the rest are ex-
tinct. Twenty-Five SUBMITS are covered

tlvity, but when the monster gets rest

whole Andean chain, and his voice can

The Worship OF silva.

In Nautilus, formerly known as the
Isle of France, and now British colo
ny, the worship of silva is said to have
recently been celebrated thus: An i'm
mense pile of wood burned for twenty
Jour hours before the pagoda of the evil
god, until bed of glowing Goals was
formed, measuring thirteen feet by
twenty, and some ten inches thick.
Across this carpet of fire marched young
Brahmins barefoot, bearing on their
heads the baskets of flowers which they
had volunteered to offer 10 silva Some
moved quickly and others slowly; but
all kept quiet. There was not single
fail, which would have resulted in in
slant death. Only when they had passed
over and plunged their feet into water
did they break out into piteous means.
Those who did not die soon after were
manned for life. These tortures were
calmly contemplated by vast multitudes
of wrapt devotees.
