Household Hints.

Take fine white sugar and put it one
fourth of an inch thick on top of your
jellics and they won't mold.
Carbolic soap not only keeps mos1ui-
toes off, but every kind of insect, for
which reason it is wise to use it to scrub
floors and paint, and always to take a
cake when travelling.
Old newspapers will put the finishing
touch to newly cleaned silver, knives and
forks, and tinwarc better than anything
else. Rub them we'll and make perfectly
dry. They are excellent to polish stoves
that have not been blackened for some
length of time.
A good way to clean wash basins, etc.,
is to rub with a little baking soda on a
damp cloth; it is also good to clean
wash bowls, and implanted woodwork;
and o tablespoonful added to a pail Of
mop water will clean your floor easily
and make it look we'll.
A little turpentinc in the wash. boiler
will make clothes very white, and will
often removc incorrigible stains from
white goods. A tablespoonful of tur-
pentine to a large boiler, or a teaspoon
full to two gallons of wafer. There is
no smell, the boiling preventing it.

until tender; also, boil separately
FIVE small onions; cut the carrots into
any small, "fanciful pieces you may choose;
mincc the onions and chop a sprig of
parsley; have a pint of milk. boiling,
which season with a little pepper and
salt, adding asmall piece of butter rubbed
in a tcaspoonful of flour; put in the
carrots and onions and let simmer ten
minutes; stir in the parsley and dish at
once.
Corn BREAD.-To make a loaf of
light corn bread for breakfast, heat up
two fresh eggs, add a cup of milk, half
sour and half sweet, a lump of soft,
fresh butter, a little salt and a little sal
aratus. Beat in enough corn meal to
make a moderately thin batter. Beat
very hard, pour into a buttered pan and
bake it in a pretty hot oven, one not hot
enough, however, to burn the top before
the middle is cooked.
PUMPKIN SoUP.-Take three pounds
of pumpkin: peel it and cut it into
small pieces. Put it in a sauce pan with
water enough to cover it, adding a little
salt; boil gently until it is soft, drain it
and pass it through a fine colander, for
it must not be watery. Put three pints
of milk in a stewpan and mix with it the
strained pumpkin; let it come to a boil;
add a very little white sugar and salt
and pepper to taste, and serve.
A BREAKFAST DIsH.-Take some
slices of cold beef or lamb, season them
with pepper and salt, and broil them;
take some raw potatoes and after taking
off the skin pare them or slice them az
you would pare an apple; dip these thin
parings into a batter made of flour and
milk, then fry them a delicate brown in
a good liberal allowance of very hot lard.
This is served on a platter, the meat put
on first, and the potatoes laid over it.

A French periodical lately gave some
remarkable statistics concerning savings
banks. Fifteen European States, with a
population of 1872, 600, 600, are included
in the statement. Since 1874 the pro-
grcss made by savings banks in these
countries has been astonishing. The in
situations themselves date from 1917.
England being their birthplace. 1t took
the ffty-scven years between 1917 and
1874 to arrive at an aggregate of 10, 0OO,-
600 of depositors, possessing among them
! S1,440, 600, 600. Within the next four
! years the depositors had increased to
1G. 900, 900 and the stock of savings to
S $3.50 900, 900. This had increased in
1882 to upward of 81, $50, 900 depositors
and So, $40, 900, 900. A novel feature of
the system in France is the schools saw
ings banks, introduced in 1874. of which
there are now 90, 600. These institutions
not only lead children to become pru-
dent, but have a reflex influence in the
same direction upon the parents.
In his address before the third Ma
tional Convention of Stockmen, held at
Chicago recently, Hon. Norman J. Cole
man, commissioner OF agriculture, placed
the number of cattle within our borders
at 45, 00O, 900, and he estimates their
value at 81, 200, 600, 900. This is a vast
aggregate Of wealth locked up in one in
dustry alone. Add to this sum the
money represented by IL, 900, 900 of
horses and mules, so, 600, 600 of sheep
and As, 900, 900 of swine, and we have a
grand aggregate of So, 500, 900, 900. The
TuJ, FeN and Farm says: "Notwith-
standing the m development of
the live stock business, the national leg
~islature at Washington has been slow to
recognize its importance. 1t has been
more ready to pass bills for the protec-
ton of other interests than of the great
animal industry. But through conven-
ton the stockmcn are impressing the
truth upon the public mind, and Con-
eress is less inclined to dismiss bills in
