A remarkable statement was made by
an English member of parliament in the
course of recent debate in the house of
commons. He had vainly endeavored to
induce the government to lay upon the
table a return of the amounts expended
upon war ships and their present esti-
mated value. Failing to obtain official
information on the subject, he investi-
gated matters himself, and the result
which he announced considerably aston
lshed the house. 1t appears that the ex-
isting navy of Great Britain has cost
s21o, 900, 900, and that its present value,
after making allowance for ships that
have become obsolete, does not exceed
sGO,0o0,o 900, showing total loss of

Oil of lavender will drive away flies.
Grained wood should be washed with
cold tea.
Dfain-pipes and all places that are sour
or impur, may be cleansed with lime-wa-
ter or carbolic acid.
Two or three bananas, sliced in a bowl
of bread and milk, make delicious and
sufficient lunch.
Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at
night destroys cockroaches. They eat it
and are poisoned.
If a bedsteal creaks at each movement
of the sleeper, remove the Stats and wrap
the end of each in old newspapers. This
will prove complete silencer.
Queens toast makes good substitute
for hot breakfast bread. Beat an egg
and stir it into a cup of milk. Dip
slices of stale bread in this mixture and
fry quickly.
To keep insects out of bird-cages, tie
up a little sulphur in a bag and suspend
it in the cage. Red ants, it is said, will
never be found in a closet or drawer if o
small bag of sulphur be kept in those
places.
To make German biscuits, mix the
yolks of five eggs thoroughly with eight

II cabbage is properly set out it suffers
little by the operation, and after a few
days its growth will generally be more
rapid than one not transplanted. But so
often is this work poorly done that it is
worth while to grow some of the late,
large varieties by sowing seed in hills
three or four in q place where the plants
are needed. AS soon as they get large
enough all but the best are removed and
transplanted elsewhere.
A cement floor is not the best for a
dairy, as it absorbs the drippings of milk
and becomes foul in a short time. A
good floor is of matched plank, with
tight joints and painted, so that 1t will
absorb no moisture. Whatever drippings
fall from the churn may be washed off
such floor without leaving any traces
Bricks quite as absorbent as cement. A
fagstone floor, with close joints set in &C.
ment, is the bet of all.
1t is good plan to milk cows regu-
larly in the same order, taking the same
one first, and winding up with the same
one every time. Regularity of hour in
commencing the milking of the herd is
an advantage in securing the best results,
since animals as well as men, are greatly
the creatures of habit, and when the time
comes round, the COW will desire to be
MIXED, and all the functions of the svs-
tym will concur in this desire.
Squashes should be gathered immedi-
ately after the first frost severe enough
to wither the leaves so they will no
longer afford protection to the fruit.
Cut the vines close to the stem of all
hard specimens, carrying the squashes
into convenient wind rows, but not pill
ing upon each other. Here they should
remain for two or three days, until the
stems are dried a little, when they are
hauled to the barn to be stored until
freezing weather.
Too much care cannot be taken to get
clover seed free from weeds. This is be-
coming increasingly difficult every year.
The weed seeds most dangerous are the
narrow and wide leaved plantain in
clover, and in timothy seed there are wild
carrot and daisy. 1t is safer to take
seed two years old if we'll kept than that
about which there is any doubt. Spread
the seed thinly on white sheet and ex-
anime with microscope. Any deterior-
atoms from the regular shape of clover
and seeds will in this way be made con-
spicuous.
Most gardeners transplant cabbage
plants; successful grower gives his
plan. He says that he sows the seed in
rows twenty-one inches apart. so the
plants can be cultivated with a harrow
After they reach the size at which trans
planting is usually done, he transplants
all of those in every alternate row, thin
ming the remaining rows until the plants
stand about two feet apart. The rows
ere three and half feet apart. He
claims they do as we'll as those trans
planted from seed sown in the ordinary
way.

To take Hoods Sarsaparilla, the popular spring
medicine and blood purifier. Why?
Because the body is now more susceptible to
the beneficial effects of this peculiar medicine
than at any other season.
Becau Sc the impurities in the blood should
be expelled and that tired feeling overcome
before the additional facilitating effects Of
warm weather are felt
Because the thousands of people who have
tried it pro ounce hTtd's Sarsaparlla the
very best medicine to take in the spring.
Because delays are dangerous. A dollar spent
for this peculiar medicine now may prevent ill

The great and increasing popularity OF Hoods
Sarsaparilla has led some unprincipled men to
use it as bait to draw ustomers to their stores,
and then by unfair representations endeavor
TO sell other kinds. 1t is unnecessary for US to
caution those who have tired Hoods Sarsapa-

who have never taken it we say, Don't be I'M
posed upon. Insist upon having Hoods Sarsa-

so doing admit that Hood'sis the standard, and
