THE HOUSEHOLD.



While the we'll known saying that French
family could live with elegance on what an
American housewife throws away is frequent
ly illustrated in families where waste can be
Ill afforded, il is also true that, in eight cases
out of ten, this RELOCATION Of cold bits 10 the
o6Tal pail or ash barrel is not caused 80 much
by extravaganza as by the lack OF knowledge
of how to dispose of them in any other way.
The dainty utilization of scraps is subject
that we'll repeys the thoughtful study Of any
housewife, and even the least original cook
can often 'evolve from her inner conscious
ness" an appetizing dish from cold fragments
that at first sight appear utterly unpromis-
ing. In this matter, however, the mistress
must generally depend upon her own brains
Few hirelings have the keen interest in their
employers' welfare that would urge them to
save couple of pennies here and five or six
there. Fewer STILL with the best intentions
in the world, kHOto how to do 1t or appreciate
that il ia in the minor economies that true
saving consists. What difference does 1t
make if those scraps of cold bacon left from
breakfast are summRrily disposed of in the
swill barrel, or il that bit of corn beef-too
small to appear upon the table again-is be-
slowed upon the first basket beggsr who pre-
sents himself And il these escape that
fate from the extra conscientiousness of the
housekeeper, they are too often converted in
TO the ubiquitous hash. Hear how one care
full housewife disposed of similar remnants
To the corn beef and bacon, minced fine,
she added half as much cold mashed potato,
one raw egg, little chopped onion and pRrs-
ley, and with croquettes made of these, roll
ed in -four and fried in nice dripping, provid-
ed an appetzing dish that was quite sufi-
oient, when accompanied by stewed potatoes
and bread and butter, to make lunch for
three people. Another dainty dish, which
appeared upon friends table, was formed
from even less promising materials Her
dinner the day before had been a stuffed
chicken boiled with rice. Examination of
the pantry revealed the carcass OF the fowl,
with one leg attached to 1t, and a couple of
spoonfuls of the cold rice. Nothing dAunted,
however, the valiant housekeeper advanced
to the charge, and, with the aid of small,
sharp knife, removed more meat from the
bones than one would at first have believed
possible This was cut--not chopped-in
small pieces and set aside with the rice and
half of the dressing while the bones, the
rest of the stuffing, and little minced on
ion we're put over the fire in two cups OF cold
water Whom a slow, steady simmer of a
couple of hours had reduced this one shalt, it
was cooled, strained, skinned, and slightly
thickened with Drowned -four then returned
to the fire with the fragments of meat, rice,
squares of fried bread laid in a hot platter,
and garnshed with parsley. The result was
savory salmi, whose scrap origin no one
would have suspected. Christine Ierhlne

A we'll known merchant tailor of this city,
while talking with Sun reporter about the
pleasures and pains of the tailor, said IA
good tailor ia an artist. know that few are
disposed to allow his pretensions TO the claim,
but can give instances to prove it." "As,
for instance ?" suggested the reporter. His
skill in mending piece of cut cloth so that
an expert cannot detect it," How is this
done ?" "With hair from his wifes head
1t often happens that there is small, clesnly-
cut place in bolt of goods 1t may not be
known until after garment is cut out, and
when it is discovered the tailor cannot afford
to throw the piece away. He simply calls on
his wife for several strands of hair, hands
them to the best-skilled workman in the shop,
and bids him mend the rent. He uses q very
fine needle, and does his work so perfectly
that it is never known that the cloth was cut
| once knew tailor who got in a peck of
trouble from having cut the button holes on
the wrong side of costly coat. He finally
overcame the difficulty by mending them with
his wifes hair. Once upon q time, as the
story-books say, / cut out and made q ine
cloth coat which was discovered before be-
ing sent home to have a defect in it which
could not be remedied without stitching in a
piece of cloth the size of q ten-cent silver
piece. After puzzling over it half a day,
secured sharp tubular instrument, such az
one would think might be used in cutting
gun wsds. With this l cut out the defect in
the cloth, fitted piece in the hole taken from
a scrap of the same material, and sewed il
with hair. OF course l was careful to have
the nap run right. 1t was so perfectly done
that no one ever discovered t."-BdLtimOrt

As pneumonia is essentially a congestive
disease, the best preventive measures are
those which avoid the causes of congestion.
Pulmonary congestion is favored by too
heavy clothing worn in winter weather. A
serious error is the supposition that double
set of hannels worn next the skin affords
double protection. The fact is that in such
a case the inner flannel absorbs all secretions
and perspiration which are there retained by
the outer flannel. An almost poultice-ike &C
ton is thus brought about, softening the skin
and rendering it highly susceptible to the
slightest exposure. OVer-heated, i'll ventilat-
ed rooms, and the sudden transition from
these to the sharp outer air are other avoida
BILE predisposing causes of the disease. He
who uses cold sponge bath with brisk rub
bling every morning, who wears the lightest
clothing consistent with comfortable protec-
ton, and keeps his rooms we'll ventilated and
at a mean temperature of $50 is employing
the best preventive treatment of pneumonia
known to sanitary science. Boston Doctor in

There are two great currents of migration
in this country, running in opposite dlrec-
tions, the one largely the reflex of the 9th
or. The first is the current of western mi
grafton, the second the return current set
ting eastward. The former grows smaller
every year, and the latter constantly increases
in volume. Il is a fact that, in some parts
of the West-the rural portions of Illinois
for instance--the population is actually small
or than it was six or seven years ago, while
in some parts of New England the deserted
farms are being taken up again, and the pop
uIation is on the increase. 1t is not at oil un-
usual to see the statements in our New Eng
land papers of farmers who have gone West,
have taken up land and cultivated it for
awhile and then sold their farms and re-
turned to New Nngland convinced that no
where in the world can they realize 30 good
a return for their labor and capital as on the
stony bllsdes and among the fertile valleys
which their fathers titled. 1t was not long
ago that this paper published a communica-
ton from Vermont farmer who had been
West and returned Esst-to stay and his
advice to all Green Mountsineers, and espe-
cially to the young men, was-"Stsy at
home" Farming at the West is not as profit
able as it used to be, for two reasons. The
first il, the increased competition of the great
farming estates OF the West, as tuey mlBnt
he called and the second, which is, of
course, largely the result of the first-the
low money value of the leading farm prod
ucts in the available markets An acre of
land in Illinois, though more fertile than an
acre of land in Vermont or New Hampshire,
is worth less than half as much in produo-
tive value. Take for instance, corn, which
is one of the staple products of New Eng
land, and compare its market value per acre
in New England with the market value per
acre in Illinois, which is the greatest corn
growing state in the Union. The following
table shows the yield per acre aud market
value of corn in New England and in ILL
nos.

The way to get rid of biliousness without
blue pills or quinine is to take the juice of
one, two or three lemons, as appetite Graves,
in as much water AZ makes it pleasant to drink
without sugar, before going to bed. On ris-
ing in the morning, at least half an hour be-
fore breakfast, take the juice of one lemon
in glass of water. This will efficiently clear
the system of humor and bile, without any of
the weakening effects of oalomel. People
should not irritate the stomach by eating lem

which is always most corrosive, invariably

When properly made, milk toast is most
satisfactory supper for babies over two years
