FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

"A pretty fashion in decorating the
floors of sleeping chambers is to place
around the edge of the room strip OF
fine wall paper, FASTING it down.
When dry varnish it over.
"A little flour tied up in a piece Oh
muslin and boiled with green vege-
tables is said to prevent any smell in
the house, but the real secret is not to
throw the water in which they are
boiled away until cold.
For an invalid who is troubled
with cold feet a sand-bag is very use
full. This is made of strong thick cot
ton filed with sand. and pretty cover
of flannel is made to slip the bag into
after heating in the oven.
Cookies without eggs: Two cup
fuls sugar, one-half cupful butter, one
cupful sweet milk. one teaspoonful
baking powder. Mix with the flour,
flour enough to roll. Season to suit
taste. Splendid also for jelly cake
Cleveland Leader.
Buns: Stir at night three cupfuls
of sweet milk, one cupful yeast, one
eupful sugar, with flour enough to
make very stiff batter; in the morn
inc add one cuDful butter and one cup
full currants. Make out and put into
tins.-Toledo Blade.
Oatmeal mullins: One cup of oat-
meal, one and one-half pints of flour,
one teaspoonful of salt, two of baking
powder, one tablespoonful of lard. two
eggs. one pint of milk Sift together
meal, flour, salt and baking powder;
rub the lard in cold, and then add
beaten eggs and milk.-Boston Budget.
Always keep convenient in the
stable some yaseline or mutton tallow,
to be used whenever the cows teats
show indications of cracking. A lit
tie care and softening of the teats NAV
arrest the trouble. which, if neglected
for few days, will develop into a sort
of sore that will not heal for q
month.-Troy Times.

The liquid stains commonly used raise

pletely that tits difficult to tell whether
the wood is really new or old
Chicago Times.
A Kansas farmer writes as follows
about discriminating artichokes: Plow
under when they have attained the
height of one foot. They only grow
from the tubers. At this time the old
'tubers are decayed and the new ones
have not formed. This has been prac-
ticed here to nv positive knowledge
with perfect success. The great terror
of many good people that they will
take the farm is a SANDER on the inno-
cent plant and is great hindrance to
its general culture. Hogs also will
destroy them if pastured in the grow
ing seasons. They will produce from
four hundred to one thousand bushels
per acre. They produce more hog
food per acre than any other crop am
acquainted with, and the hogs will har.
est the crop themselves.

Morphine Parties.

/ hear of morphine parties of the
small-and-early kind in the higher
couches socidkes. Those invited to such
little gatherings are known to the
hostess as being in the habit of resist
ing ills to which flesh is heir by subcu-
taneous injections of the narcotic above
named. The injection is performed
with little instrument, the manufac-
ture of which is passing from the sur
gical-instrument maker to the jeweler,
and is becoming an o6jst dart. Guests
and the lady of the house sit in circle,
and listen to 8 concert in 8 distant
room. They describe their sensations
ito each other. Novices derive peculiar
beauty from the morphinizing process,
One sees in many of the portraits at the
Mirliton the traces of morphine in the
morbidezza of the faces and the brown
ish circles that surround eyes which
are st once brilliant and softly lang
uishing. 1t may be remembered that
the late Duchesse de Chaulnes killed
herself with simultaneous injections Of
morphine. She resorted to them to
soothe irr;tated nerves and vary her
iundoubted beauty, and had to continue
them because it became impossible for
her to leave them of. / know of q

Why the Agriculturist Ought to Feel .
Peaceful Contentment.

Peaceful Contentment.
As farmers embrace the largest class
of our population and hold the largest
amount of real estate, they particularly
attract the attention of the most intel
hgent foreign travellers. Lord Chief
Justice Coleridge, of England. being
asked what most struck him in his
late tour through the United States,
replied. the fact that Americans gen.
orally owned their own homes was the
most significant. He did not here find
. nation of tenants nation of de-
pendents upon privileged class-but
q nation of farmers who own the soil
on which they live. This was the one
great fact, unparalleled in Europe,
showing the broad foundation of our
success. More than four millions of
farmers, proprietors of their own
homes, pledging their hearthstones to
the stability of the Government.
Our people have hardly priced this
ownership of land at its full value, be-
cause the ownership came so easily,
and is so common an achievement
that the independence of the position
The gains OF farmers are not so
alluring as those of many other
kinds of business, and the more am
bilious have not been attracted to it.
To such, trade, mining, manufacture
ing, railroad building, and dozens of
other calings are more attractive.
But when general business becomes
much depressed, and great manufac-
turing establishments are compelled to
close, here and there over the country;
when merchants suddenly find their
profits gone; when mechanics find lit
tie demand for their labor, then the
modest farmer, with granary full. with
cattle, sheep, and swine, to round out
his supply and modest income. feels a
peaceful contentment In his situation,
and suddenly finds his condition duly
appreciated by those who had thought
his income too small for their business
ideas. They now see that indepen-
dence, with good living insured, even
though the excess of income be small,
is better than the hazard of appar-
emily more lucrative occupations.
These business men, if their funds ara
not too near spent, are ready, in this
ebb of the business tide, to invest in Q
farm. When other business is de-
pressed, then the American farmer
best appreciates the dignity and indie
pendence of his ownership.-Nati0nd
