 -Earthenware is not suitable to keep fat in. as it absorbs the grease, and eventually becomes rancid, and will taint its contents.

 The colt sometimes loses its dam, and at other times the latter's milk is insufficient for its support. In such cases cows milk may be used, but as it contains less sugar than the mare's, it should be sweetened by the addition of small quantities of sugar or molasses. It should be fed often, five or six times a day, and the quantities given at each meal should be small, say half pint for colt two or three days old when there is no supply from the dam.- Western Rural.

CASHMERE SHAWLS.

How These Exquisite Products of the
 Orient Looms Are Manufactured.
 Cashmere shawls are prec ous to every gentlewoman's heart, and belong to the same category as diamonds. The love for these products of the Orient looms is scarcely a century old. The shawls left by Tippoo Sahib's ambassadors in 1787 were regarded as curiosities by the mag mates to whom they were presented, and were used as carpets or cut up for dress ng gowns. It is said that Mime.
 Gaudin, a lady of Greek parentage and celebrated beauty, wore the first shawl in Paris. Not until after Napoleon's Egyptian expedition did the Cashmere shawl become fashionable. The Empress Josephine's love of these superb webs of Oriental beauty is as well known as her passion for flowers. The wealth acquired by the great men under the first empire here was lavishly spent by their wives for India shawls. It was a matter of little importance whether the shawls were clean or soiled. It may have done duty as the robe of some pr est high in OlllCC Ol sS lllC lul bttI Ol OllC Ol lnc hO- gul's soldiers. If it suited the taste of the grande dame it was purchased, cleaned and worn. The shawls are woven from the wool of the Thibet goat, and for those of the highest grade only the finest of this fine wool is used, one goat yielding but half pound of this first quality wool at its annual shear ing. The shawls are all made upon hand looms, and sometimes thirty or forty men are employed for year and half, or even two years, upon single shawl. The gold and silver thread used in the embroidery of the shawls IS made at Boorhampoor: a Deccan city. A piece of pure ore is beaten into cylinder the size of thick reed, and is again beaten out until it will pass through an orifice the eighth of an inch in diameter. This wire is then wound upon several reels, which work upon pivots, the end of inc thread being passed through still finer holes and then fastened to larger reel, which, when set in rapid motion, attenuates the thread still further. The thread is then flattened upon a steel anvil, highly polished by skilled workman. A silk thread is then covered with this fine wire. It is said that if lump of silver be gilt before it is put through any process it will retain the gliding through all the severe ham mering, winding and drawing to which it is afterward subjected. and emerge a golden thread that will never tarnish. Queen Victoria receives as a tribute every year certain number of cash mere shawls of fine quality from certain Indian Princes, These costly wraps sbe bestows as marriage gifts upon the lad es of rank connected directly or re- motely with her court Badg-

TREATMENT OF WARTS.
How to Get Rid of These DisRgreeabl
 and Nasty Skin. Parasites.

How to Get Rid of These DIsagreeable
 and Nasty Skin: Parasites.
 The arsenic treatment is we'll adapted for warts. The top of the wart should either be sliced off with sharp knife, cut off with a pair of scissors or de- stroyed with a drop of some caustic, such as nitric acid. It is then to be painted with the arsen; solution two or three times day. In a short time it undergoes change and appears to break up into a number of pieces. It may then be removed or turned out without the slightest pain or difficulty. There are several other means of getting rid of warts. Their vitality is low and they are usually readily destroyed by the application of the caustic or astrin- gent. The strong acetic acid known as the ''glaciaP' acetic acid IS often used for this purpose. It should be applied with a glass rod until the wart is pretty well sodden with the acid. It may have to be applied more than once, and care should be taken to preventit from com ing in contact with the surrounding skin, or it may cause blister. Small warts occurring in numbers may usually be got rid of certainly and pain lessly by keeping them constantly moist with a lotion made by adding two drams of dilute nitric acid to pint of water. Lunar caustic is sometimes used for warts, but its action is, as a rule, too superficial to be of much serv- ice. When warts or warty growths oc- cur on the nose, lips or any part be- sides the hands, chronic ac+d may be used. The solution is made by dissolv- ing a hundred grains of crystsliHed chronic acid in an ounce of water. The solution is best applied by the sid of pointed glass rod, or, when a large quantity is required, by means of small glass tube drawn to point. Only so much should be applied as will sat urate the deceased growth, and it should not be brought in contact with the surrounding tissues. Any supardu- ous acid is to be removed by pieCe of plotting paper or wet lint. The appica- ton usually produces only a little fem porary smarting, unless, indeed, the part is ulcerated, when the pain is more severe and of longer duration. After the application of the chronic acid it is a good plan to dress the part with lint dipped in lead lotion, as it relieves the soreness and restraints the infiamma- tion. Under the influence of this treat nent the growth usually rapidly wastes, in some cases being thrown of alto Gether, and in others undergoing par tial though distinct diminution in size In the majority of cases one application suffices, the cure being complets in rom four to eIght days. When, how ever, the warts are very large, repeated applications may be necessary. Family Physician.

How to Grease Wheels.

Lard should never be used on a wag- on, for it will penetrate the hub and work its way out around the tenons of the spokes, thus spelling the wheel Tallow is the best lubricant for wooden axle-trees, and castor-oil for iron hubs, but many of the patent axle-greases are also excellent, and have the merit of being cheaper and more convenient to handle. Just grease enough should be applied to the spindle of wagon to give it slight coating. This is better than more, for the surplus put on will work out at the ends, and be forced by the shoulder-bands and nut-washer into the hub around the outside of the boxes. To oil an iron axle-tree, first wipe the spindle clean with cloth wet with ker- osene or benzine, and then apply few drops of castor-oil near the spindle and end. One teaspoonful is sufficient for all the wheels of any light wagon or even of an iron-axled farm wagon, but never allow any axle to get dry before applying the oil.-Farm. Field and SLockn1Gn.

FOOD FOR THE SICK.
Why the ConvaIescent's Eye Should Be
 Pleased as We'll as His Palate.

Why the ConvaIescent's Eye Should Be Pleased as We'll as His Palate.
 Solid food should never be given to a sick person without the doctors special permission. He will say when, in his judgment, its use may be begun safely, and thus the nurse is relieved from all responsibility. A convalescent's diet should be digestible and tempting. The appetite is beginning to return and must be encouraged, except after ty- phoid fever, when it has to be sup pressed. During extreme illness food is disagreeable necessity, to be dis posed of as quickly as possible. There is no desire for it, it is swallowed under compuls'on as a necessary but nause- ous medicine and to escape from the importunities of the nurse. In con- valescence It is looked forward to with eagerness, and the dainty repasts are the events of the day. They should be made to look as enticing as they can be, and all the appointments should be daintily bright and clean. A teaspoon ful of tea spilled in the saucer from a full cup seems a trifiing matter to a well person, but it is enough to spo l the comfort of an invalid's meals. Food that is intended to be hot must be served very hot on a well-warmed plate set over a bowl of boiling water and covered in its transit from the kitchen. A cup of lukewarm soup would be sent away untasted, whereas if it had been really hot it would have been eaten and enjoyed. Things that are intended to be cold should be left in the ice-box, or the cool dairy, until the last moment before serving. Tepid blanc mango is not an inviting article of diet, and custard, which would be delicious ice cold, loses its attractive ness when it is milk warm. Strawber- ries and all fruit should be placed on a plate over bowl filled with chopped ice, and sliced tomatoes should be laid on ice. Attention to these little points makes all the difference between com fort and discomfort, between food being refused as unpalatable or eaten with rel Ish. The prettiest china that the house affords should be brought out to embel- fish the convalescent's tray. The eye must be pleased as we'll as the palate, and a victory is won when the invalid says: "Oh, how delicious it looks" Butter should be rolled into tiny balls with the grooved paddles sold for the purpose, and bread cut in delicate slices divided into four.-Good Housekeeping.

CARE OF COLTS.
How They Should Be Treated and Housed
 During the Winter Season.

How They Should Be Treated and Housed
 During the Winter Season.
 The future value of the colt depends much on the care it receives during its first winter. If kept in comfortable quarters and properly fed, it will thrive and grow rapidly, while on the other hand, if exposed to the cold and fed sparingly it is likely to receive a check that it may never recover from. This very unproftable method of treating colts is practiced on many farm, and brings it's accompanying loss, the colts showing the effects of the neglect when spring comes. If it was more general ly realized how much is lost in this way, more pains would be taken to see that the colts have comfortable quar- ters, with an abundance of good, nour- ishing food. Due care should be taken to see that the colts have chance for plenty of exercise. There should be a well-sheltered yard adjoining their stable, where, when the weather is not so severe, they can run out for some time each day. Their stable shoul be well ventilated aud kept clean, for good fresh air is very essential to the health and thrift of young stock National LiUe Stock Journal.

ECCENTRIC MEN.

Idiosyucrasies of Former WelI-KnOwh
 European Characters. 4r4.
 Some queer stories of eccentric men have lately been published abroard. Here are samples of them: Duke Charles the ILL of Mantua took the greatest delight in exposing himself to a severe scolding. To effect this object he would dress himself up as tramp and sally forth into the streets, followed by half dozen of his attendants, ready to assist him in case ot an emergency. He would then jostle every one that came in his way, just for the pleasure of being soundly ra'ed and vIlified for his pains Sometimes he entered a shop where costly and breakable articles were exposed for sale, such as mirrors, etc, and taking one of them in his hands would drop it on the ground as if by accident. The Duke would then be subjected to torrent of abuse, at which he nearly split his sides with laughter.
 Lord Montague (born 1713) when boy exchanged his paternal mansion for the sooty dwelling of a chimney-sweep, with whom he lived as an apprentice for a month without being known. He was discovered at last and taken home again, but soon afterwards made his escape and worked his passage to Lisbon as a cabin-boy, after which he travelled through Spain in the capacity of muleteer. He subsequently, settled down at Padua as an Oriental and died there in 1776.
 In 1796 a wealthy Briton bequeathed 10 a relative of his, learned professor, the sum of S30,000 with the proviso that he should attend the Stock Ex- change every day from two tlll three, except in case of illness. The heir found this very inconvenient. He could only permitted to leave town Sundays, when the exchange was closed. The institutions which were to benefit by the will in case he failed to carry out it's provisions had spies who kept a sharp lookout, wherefore he drove regularly on Change at the prec SC hour, raced up and down the room without speak ing to any one, and entered his c'.rriage as the clock struck three.
 One of the Dukes of Zweibrucken was petty monarch in his way. He possessed Minister of the Interior, Minister of Foreign Affairs, a Minist of War and Minister of FinancJ. These four portfolios were held, how ever, by one and the same functionary, who was compelled to keep four differ ent uniforms, which hung in a ward robe in one of the Dukes ante-rooms. When the Council ot State-viz.: the Duke and his four sporting dogs, held sitting, each Minister in succession had to present his ''dutiful'' report. After the Minister of the Interior. in light blue uniform with silver-braided collar, had delivered his statement, he retired to array himself in the dark green, gold-embro;dered state costume of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and humbly craved an audience of his Serene High ness. As Minister of War he appeared in white, and as Minister of Finance in a scarlet uniform to report to his most potent sovereign and lordn all the events that had transpired since the last sitting of the council within the do- main of his four departments.-LLuS- tTirte Zeitu10.
