put four pounds of sugar. Put the pears
in a saucepan or kettle with a little
until the fruit is soft. then add the sugar
and cook as other jam.
BRAEDIED PEAcHEs.-Put your
peaches in boiling water with potash
then rub the skin off with cloth and
put them in cold water to keep them
white. Take one pound of peaches to
one pound of sugar, and cook the peaches
in half the sugar. When quite done,
make a syrup of the other half of the

the smallpox though the pittings are

mixed with two tablespoonfuls of
water. When thoroughly mixed, add
four ounces of water. Take a spoon

Splints in Horses.

Splints are often troublesome, causing
severe lameness, especially when horses
are driven on hard roads or payements.
The splint makes its appearance on the
inner side and lower part of the knee
Joint At first it is bony tumor, but
later the small, slender bone called the
anetacdrpds ptauuS is affected and becomes
united to the shank hone. The disease,
if ii may be called one, is of the same or
similar nature as ringbone, and the
treatment is similar. In the first stages
give the animal rest and apply cooling
lotions, aud when heat and tenderness
subside apply blister. Sometimes the
following lotion will answer, and it is
one recommended by some veterinarians
in preference to blistering: Two drachms
powdered iodide of potass, one ounce
simple cerate, and one half ounce of cod
liver oil Rub these together in a NOR
tar, and apply once day for a week or
ten days. If the splint does not cause
lameness it had better be let alone. In
case the splint has been growing so long
that the bones are united or grown
together, then the services of a skiliful
veterinarian may be required to give
relief

Plugging Leaky Teats.

George Harris, of Orange county, n.
y, writes us that he has COW from
whose udder milk begins to drip about
noon. He made small pegs of seasoned
maple, about an inch long, tapered to a
blunt point, smoothed with sandpaper.
These little plugs are carefully inserted
into the opening of the teat for about
two-thirds their length, when milking is
done. They retain their position, and
are taken out carefully at the next
milking time. He says: ''They work
splendidly" 1t will be necessary in
similar cases to observe three things,
namely: to have the plugs large enough
to hold, small enough not to stretch the
sphincter muscle which surrounds the
mouth of the teat, and in withdrawing
Athe plugs to do SO slowly, so that no air
csn possibly enter the udder, as this

symbolism of Flowers.

In all ages and among almost every /
people, flowers have been adopted as
symbols. types and emblems OF human /
combination, affection and loyalty. The
reader needs scarcely to be reminded |
of the red and white roses which were |
the badges OF the Lancastrian and YORK
rivals to the English throne.
But the symbolism of flowers dates
back to periods far older than the time
of the wars of the roses. The ancient
nations had their emblematic flowers
The special flower of the Hindoos, for
instance, has always been the mara
gold. The Chinese display as their
national flower the gorgeous chrys-
anthemum.
The Assyrians for ages proudly wore
the water-lily. Egyptians delight most
of all in the heliotrope; though the pa
pyrus leaf, used by the ancient Egyp-
tians in place of paper, may also be re-
garded in high sense as the symbolic
plant of the land of the Nile.
The Greeks and Romans were in the
habit of distributing the flowers in their
luxurious gardens among their gods
and demigods, just as in yet remoter
times the sweet basil and the moon
In the Roman custom. TO Juno was
| devoted the lily, to Menus the myrtle
| and the rose, to Minerva the olive and
the violet; Diana had the dittany, Ceres
| the poppv, Mars the ash, Bacchus the
grape-leaf, Hercules the poplar and Ju-
| piter, naturally, the monarch OF trees,
the oak.
So we may infer that among the Ro-

How to Sweep
Science of Health. !

Science Of Health
Sweeping, for a well woman, is one of
the best kinds of exercise. 1t calls in
play especially the muscles of the upper
extremities and chest. and, indeed, it is
pretty good Thorough exerciser, ("
almost too strong for any woman with
a weak back, though this depends very
much on what is to be swept. A painted
floor and Canton mating sweeps easily
an ingram carpet is harder; rag carpet
is harder still, while Brussels and velvet
are awful" Well, then. in any case
cover your head, and if it is in the
parlor or sitting-room cover your furni-
ture aud books, and dampen your broom,
let it stand ten or twenty minutes, and
then sweep carefully but persistently
In the corners insert your broom
repeatedly (but not frantically) until
quite clean. Heavy carpets are best
swept with quick, short stroke. In any
case bring the broom toward you or even
with you; do not firt it in front of you.
That motion kicks up dust which is
bad for the lungs. Some things, like
straws, Rawlings and bits of paper, are
best picked up with the hand, or with a
small broom, to which they readily
cling, and may be removed with the
other hand

How to Make an Oyster Pie.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger.

from the Philadelphia Ledger.
IF the oyster cook as long as the crust
does they are overdone. If the pie is
baked first and filled in afterward, then
the blended richness of the oyster and
under-crust is lost. To get the true
flavor of the pie the thickened liquor
should be put inside Of the pie before it
is baked. No amount of cooking will
hurt the oyster juice. If the oysters have
been simply scalded in the liquor before
it is put into the pie, and then set away
in a covered bowl, the upper crust ma
he lifted when the pie is done, and they
can be put in at the last minute, before
serving, getting their sufficient heating
in the boiling liquor on their way to the
table. Even better than lifting the
crust is to lift "the rose" the large orna-
ment of pastry which fills the center of
the upper crust, and put the oysters in
the aperture. If this ornament is care
fully put into the center of the upper
crust before baking there will be no
difficulty in raising it from the pie.
Mace, few whole peppers and the same
thickening of -four and butter that you
may make drawn butter of, is put into
the liquor when it first goes into the
pie BY this means you avoid the
tough and almost tasteless filling of the
dish usually served by that name.

Ladies Luncheons.

Mn. Eliza r. Parker in "Good Housekeeping"
Luncheon for the family is always a
very simple affair." and is generally com
posed entirely Of cold meats, fish and
bread. For guests it is very similar to
the late breakfast. Ladies only are in
vited to lunch, however The hour for
this repast is seldom earlier than one
O'Clock. and sometimes much later. a
luncheon given 10 invited guests can be
made up of salads, oysters, and various
fancy dishes, but some very fashionable
people affect great simplicity, upon such
occasions, giving only a cup of tea or
chocolate, some thin slices of bread and
butter, with cold tongue, or even dainty
little crackers or waters, thinking it
more healthful TO reserve the appetite
for dinner; bat in either style good
taste may be displayed in the arrange
ment of the table, which may be deco
rated with flowers or fruit: | fancy
cakes and bonbOns. The tablecloth and
napkins are usually colored. The courses
should be fewer in number than for
a breakfast party, and the dishes should
be such as do not require carving.
Bouillion should be served first in little
cups, then tea, coffee or chocolate with
the substantials. Guests observe the
same rules Of etiquette at luncheon, as
at breakfast, and are not expected to TO
main longer than half an hour after
leaving the dining room.

Every morn shall lead thee through

Every evening from thy feet
Shall the cool wind kiss the heat;
