Courtesy ut Home.

One is forcibly reminded, in going
from place to place, how small and
seemingly trivial often are the things
which go to make or mar the comfort
and peace OF home. In some house
holds there is a genuine good will and
kindness which only works out half it's
mission, for the reason that it does
not express itself in little courtesies OF
speech and action. These are more
important than some OF our busy men
and women may realize. The ready
thank you,' "if you please" &C., at
table and elsewhere, the quiet excuse
me- when obliged to pass directly be-
fore Or inconveniently near another;
the loving good night" and CHEEKY
good morning, although little things,
are helps in making a happy home.
Courtesy is but the ready overflow of
kindness and goodwill to all, and is
therefore but O. natural expression
which costs nothing, but which often
cheers an aching heart, and which
never fails to make home brighter and
more attractive to old and young.

home, they sought amusement else
where. Don't let them wander beyond
the reach of a mothers influence vet
awhile. The time will come, before
you think, when you would give the
world to have your house tumbled by
the dear hands of those very boys;
when your hearts shall long for their
noisy steps in the hall, and their rudy
cheeks laid up to yours; when you
would rather have their jolly
whistle than the music of all the
operas; when you gladly would have
dirty carpets-aye, live without car
pets at ALTO have their bright, strong
forms beside you once more. Then
play with and pet them. Praise
Johnny's drawing, Betty's music and
baby's first attempt at writing his
name. Encourage Tom to chop off
his stick Of wood, and Dick to per-
severe i'll making his hen-coop. Ii one
shows talent for figures tell him he
is your mathematician; and ifanother
loves geography, tell him he will be
sure to make a great traveller or
foreign minister. Become interested
in their pets, be they rabbits, pigeons
or dogs. Let them help you in home
decorations; send them to gather
MOSES, grasses and bright autumn
leaves to decorate their rooms when
the snow is all over the earth And
you will keep yourselfyoun and fresh
by entering into their joys, and keep
those joys innocent by your knowl-

Is Old Beef Tough?
from the Drover's Journal.

From the Drovers Journal
A correspondent says: 81 wish here
to protest against the prevalent idea
that cid meat is tough. Never was
there a greater fallacy. The age Of
the animal has nothing to do with it;
and the fact is, the toughest and most
tasteless meat is that OF a 2-year-old
steer, kept tat from birth and then
shipped to market, where he will ar
rive in a shrinking condition. On the
contrary, the most tender, juicy. high
est-favored meat is that OF an old
animal, COW, or even a work steer
no matter how old-it fattened rapid
ly and killed when in thriving con-
dition. All meat is more or less
tough when the animal is losing flesh,
and the opposite-tender and juicy-ii
the animal is gaining rapidly; and, as
all your (Chicago) meat is killed when
the animal is losing flesh, you never
get any really good meat. The change
can be noticed in the meat before the
eye detects it in the animals condi-
ton"

Shall We Eat All We Want.

If to "eat as much as one wants
means gorging, or eating from the mere
qualification of the palate, we do not
need to answer the question, "Can !
eat as much as | want?" From the
lips OF a conscientious, reasonable be-
ing. who really longs for little more,
but who has been from childhood fed
on the adages of "Poor Richard and
the likes, it would at least demand re-
s1ectful attention. He must think
and study out for himself this matter

indulge i'll with impunity. Let him
keep his mental powers healthy and
decided on these points. A ll-poised
mind will aid him in reconstructine
the body into one as nearly perfect as
is possible.-Good Housekeeping.

Tomato Soup.

Tomato soup can be made in the
two following ways, and no one who
has not eaten it can have any idea
how good it is: To one pint OF canned
tomatoes OF four large raw ones add
one quart of boiling water. Let the
vegetables boil till thoroughly mixed
through the water Then add one
teaspoonful OF soda, when twill foam.
Immediately add one pint OF milk.
Put in plenty OF butter, salt and pep
per to taste. 1t is then ready to serve.
Tomato soup can be made without
milk. To six large tomatoes or a
pint and q half OF the canned vege-
tables allow one gallon OF water and
boil thoroughly. Add large piece of
butter. Beat an egg to a froth, add IL
little milk Or cream and put into the
soup just before it is sent to table.

farm crops, and also, the garden inter
feres to some extent with the farm
work when it is not properly planned
and managed, as for the most part it
might be,so as to cause little or no in
convenience in the performance of the
regular work. And for this purpose we
now ask our country and village read
ers who are directly interested to give
the necessary thought for the prepara-
ton of a good garden at this season
of comparative. rest. What shall the
garden consist of How and when
shall it be prepared? Who shall have
the direct supervision OF it? These
and other questions can be consider.

time of action comes there need be no

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
Farming Notes.

No house in the country can be call
ed a complete home without garden
attached to it.-Ploughman.
Mr.. B. r. johnson tells The Country
Gentleman that Illinois has more fruit
trees ttlifting their barren or dead
branches to the sky" than any other
state.
Sheep manure is good for any crop,
and especially for potatoes and corn,
on account OF It's fine condition.
''Men sound in soul and limb can,
says Froude, "be bred and reared only
in the exercise OF plough and spade, in
the free air and sunshine, with coun-
try enjoyments and amusements; new
Ell amid foul drains, and smoke blacks,
and the eternal clank OF machinery"
Mr. T. D. Curtis, of The Farmer and
Dairyman, is persuaded that if we have
no constitutional right "to suppress
so monstrous fraud as bogus but
ter we would better substitute aeon
stitution that will give us the power,
by protecting honest men rather than
rascals.

made such rules have been allowed by
the Connecticut people to absorb

Farmers as Gardeners.
From Vick's Magazine.

From Wick s Magazine.
The remark is often made that farm
ers are poor gardeners, and it is too
true in most cases. Farmers families,
as a rule, are far more poorly sup
piled with vegetables than city resi-
dents. Not more than a. quarter of
the farms of this region show anything
better in the way of garden produce
than a littlesweet corn and some bush
beans and few tomato plants, and
possibly even these last are wanting.
The field cropis depended upon tosup-
ply the potatoes that are wanted, and
perhaps, some turnips will be raised in
the fall, some years, as second crop.
What a miserable showing is this for
those who are situated so that the
choicest vegetables of the garden, the
various kinds in their season, might
appear in abundance ON their tables,
provided the necessary care and labor
should be given to produce them.
But this picture is not overdrawn; it
is, unfortunately, too true, and it is not
less true that if we inquire about
the family fruit supply for country
tables we shall find this quite as de-
ficient, or even more SO. There is no
necessity for this condition of things,
and it is opposed both to the physical
and financial interests OF these tami-
lies. No part OF the farm can make
greater returns for the labor and 9Th
er expenditures, than the vegetable
and the fruit garden. If we inquire in.
to the cause of their neglect we shall
find, in many cases, that their i'm
portance is measurab bly, comprehended
and the want of them is felt, but the
labor and attention they require ls

Dead of AvOidable Disease.

A large proportion of the dead peo-
pie were victims of advoidable dis
ease. Only small minority die from
the natural cause, old age. Food,
air, or climatic conditions, and water,
great agencies of destruction. Typhoid
fever, Asiatic cholera and epidemic
dysentery are more generally propagat-
ed by potable water than by all other
causes combined. The excretions of
the sick contain the seeds of these
diseases, which will multiply indefi-
nitely in a medium containing food for
their growth (decomposing organic
matter), moisture and q given tenn
perature.
Excretal matters in sewer or cess
pool should excite solicitude, not alone
for the filth but because it may con-
tain disease-germs capable ofindefnite
multiplication. A pound of arsenicin

been called in all languages, fountains
of life If there be any suspicion,
and its cause cannot be removed, re-

every living germ; or else use rainwa,

How to Grow Celery.

AS soon as the ground is fit to work
in the spring SOW the seed on a rich,
level piece OF soil, thoroughly pulver-
lied and we'll mixed with fine stable
manure. Mark the bed out in rows
eight inches apart and SOW the seed
at the rate of about an ounce to every
twenty feet. Pat the bed down after
sowing, with a spade, or roll if you
have roller. Keep the weeds out
from the very beginning. Cut off the
tops as the plants grow, say twice, be-
fore setting them out, which may be
done from the middle OF June to the
middle of August, July, perhaps, be-
ing the best time. Prep battle-ground
we'll and set in rows three feet apart
and six inches apart in the row. Firm
the soil around the roots, especially
if the weather is dry at the time of
setting out. II everybody would learn
to press the soil firmly around all
plants when setting them, it would be
of great benefit. Six or seven weeks
after planting, the weeds being kept
down in the meantime, begin to earth
up. Draw the soil close up to the
plant with hoe, and still closer
around the plant with the hand, leav-
ing it firm enough to keep the plant
from spreading. The soil must be
drawn up or thrown up with the hoe,
plow, or spade, clear to the top of the
plant. This is the blanching process.

Size and Shape of Cisterns.

j. W.,springfeld, Mo-;
Give the directions and proper size
and shape of a cistern that would hold
about $500 gallons OF water.
A cistern eight feet in depth and eight
feet in diameter will hold 5000 wine
gallons. A good cistern can be made
in a solid clay soil, if not in an expos
ed situation, by cementing against the
sides Of the ground. Where the ground
freezes we would not recommend such
practice, but lay a wall of cobble-
stones in mortar OF cement, and face
the wall with thick coating OF clear
mortar. Great care must be exercised
to get good cement, and mix it with
coarse sand. Fine sand will not do at
all. One part cement and three parts
sand is the usual proportion, to be
used as soon as mixed. Every part of
the wall must be laid below the reach
of the frost. This can edone, and an
IRON or wooden pipe or throat lead to
the surface, through which the pump
can pass. A cheap, and excellent els
tern can reconstructed ofwood, in the
form of q large cask, OF tank made
Of pine or cedar plank. When sunk
into the ground, and kept constantly
wet, it will last for years. A better
way is to place the tank or cask in one
corner of the cellar, with a faucet in
the bottom, from which the water is
easily drawn when it is desirable to
clean it out and when water is reuuir-
ed in the cellar. An open cistern in a
cellar will rarely freeze.

the naming OF the Army: "Ohe OF my
secretaries was writing little tract, de-
scribng the movement, and he wrote on
the title page, The Christian mission is a

shoulder, took his pen ont OF his hand,

wrote Salvation We liked the sound
ofit, seeing that it really described what
the organization was-a body formed and
united after the fashion of an army, with
the purpose of delivering men from Gin

Salvation Army nine or ten years ago.
