FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Keep the horse stables well ven.

Times
Permanent pastures do not sue
ceed on high, dry ground, where the
soil is light and sandy.-N. E. Farmer.
The venom of a bee is acid, and
the application of an alkali is the best
antidote. Strong tobacco juice is also
good. Chicago Journal
Sweet potato pie: Make a rich pie
crust and fill it with thin slices of APP
pie and of steamed sweet potatoes
spread thickly with butter and sugar
and grated nutmeg. Cover with q
thin crust and bake Cincinnati Times.
The curing of clover in the barn
depends upon how it is stored. Some
barns are tight and have solid floors at
the bottom of the NOW, while others
have cracks in the walls and lot OF
loose rails for the hay to rest on.
While the tight barn may sometimes
keep green clover like silo, the other
will not.-Prairie Farmer.
Dutch cream toast: Take the re.
mainder of some cooked ham-the bone
with the fragments that adhere to it,
removing all fat and dry in the oven
until it will CRATE like cheese. Make
some buttered toast and spread with
the grated ham. Make sauce with the
yellow of two eggs, a gill and half OF
cream, or of milk with bit of butter
added, heat, stir and pour boiling hot
over the toast.-Erchd1age
Cream pie: Take three eggs,
whip them lively five minutes, then
add eight tablespoonfuls of sugar and
one tablespoonful of flour, and whip
again five minutes, now add one and
one-half teacups of sweet cream-if
rather thick all the better-stir till
we'll mixed, add four teacupfuls OF
milk, little salt, flavor with nutmeg,
and bake with one crust. This will
make two pies. Bake quickly till done
but not moment after.-1he Caterer.
"A nice dish for dessert is made by
soaking half a pint of tapioca in cold
water for two hours, then let it boil
gently until it softens, slice canned
peaches and put into pudding-dish,
and pour the tapioca over them. Bake
until the tapioca is perfectly tender.
Serve with sugar and cream. Dried or
evaporated peaches may be used for
this dish, and if they are properly
cooked and softened it is almost as
good as when the canned fruit is used.
Boston BGdget.
1t is observed that ''in the process
Of drying grass into hay most of the
volatile oils which give green herbaCe
its delicate flavor and odor are lost.
But some farmers have found that put
ting clover and other grasses in barns
while rather green, and mixing with
them enough dry straw to absorb mois-
ture, not only preserves the flavor of
the hay, but a portion is communicated
to the straw, making it much better for
milch cows. 1t is possible that farmers
may yet take to sowing sweet vernal
grass for the sole purpose of flavoring
their winters supply of dry hay and
straw.-W Western Rural.

Popular Fabrics for Spring Wear and Othe
NnyeItieS of fhe SaaSan

Popular Fabrics for Spring Wear and Other
Novelties of the Season.
Soft neutral-tinted cashmeres are
among the most popular fabrics for
spring wear. Green, bronze and ecru
in many shades and combinations are
shown by the best importing houses.
Canvas in new style called velouss
etamine has stripes of plush or velvet.
either wide or narrow, and is intended
principally for combinations. The
illuminated etamine is formed of many
colored threads, crossed and recrossed
until the whole glows with brilliant
hues. The Dieppe canvas comes in
graduated horizontal stripes, broad at
the edge of the skirt and small at the
waist. This idea of stripes around the
skirt is entirely novel and is repeated
in velvet bars on etamines, and even
in gilded designs on smaller fabrics.
Canvas and cheviots in plaids, camel s
hair and some rough-looking but light
wool materials are shown for present
wear. Black satin-faced grosgrain
silks will be very popular during the
spring. An old material, taffetas, is
brought forward again, and the modistes
say that it will be much liked. Espe-
cially as it suited to make into slips to
be worn under the lace dresses which
are now so much in demand. Colored
swabs and shot-silks are also used for
the same purpose.
Very elegant etamines are imported
with plain grounds figured in the same
colors as the striped material and in
tended for overdresses in combination
with them, the stripes always framing
the underskirt.
A new jacket called the Princess of
Wales coat has close fitting vest
either of kid or of corded silk. Gloves
of the same color as the vest and hat
of the same material as the coat or of
soft felt, like gentleman's driving
hat, complete the costume which is
considered very stylish.
Guimpes, plastrons and chemisettes
russo of mule, grenadine, silk canvas,
etamine and white muslin will he worn
with light dresses. This fashion even
includes many pretty devices in scarlet
and gold canvas, and pink or blue
crepe de chine, to be worn at the neck
and wrists of black silk or satin
dresses.
The picturesque and becoming gypsy
is to reappear for young girls, trimmed
with lowered scarfs of etamine or with
silk MULE in delicate shades. Flowers
are also to be disposed in wreaths
around the crown, and sometimes long
stalked blossoms will be similarly ar
ranged. Lovely silk muslin ribbons
brocaded in various designs are
brought out for straw hats as well as
scarfs in every possible color and in
every kind of airy gauzy fabric.
Stylish round hats with high brims,
show the trimming of long stalked
flowers massed at the back instead OF
the front This is variety only, how.

ming in front, or where the shape OF
the brim is irregular, On one side

A Titled Hangman.

The office of executioner is one which
we can hardly imagine any man of or
binary human feelings would voluntary
assume. But this is just what an En-
glish baronet is said to have done recent
ly. The story is that he assisted the
hangman in infiicting the death penalty
upon three burglars who killed a polio,
officer after a celebrated robbery in
England few months ago. He ex-
planned his conduct by saying that be
desired the experience in case be
should be called upon in the future, as
sheriff of his county. to superintend a
hanging. 1t strikes us that this is
rather an insufficient reason for man
to volunteer to oct the part Of hang.

MY MOTHER.

A simple parsonage-plaina and brown
Where tvies rambled up and down
With sweet-brier roses.
A place the earliest sunbeams kiBt,
Nor left, till shadowed by the mist
The Night uncloses.
Twas here she wrought with patient care
life whose incense filed the air
With gladnese only.
Here heard her call to enter rest,
And left the home, q broken nest,
Bereft and lonely.

strong
With anguish, t lesson long,
And cad the learning,
That prayers nor tears can e'er restore
The loved ones drifted to that shore
Beyond returning.
We've learned farewell oft through these
years,
She-welcome-wheret there are no tears,
But joys supernal.
And closely folds earth's loos' ming bands
Within the house not made with hands,
Secure, eternal.
