Apples tightly wrapped in writing
paper are easily and pleasantly baked.
Done in this manner they will generally
be found to require little or no sugar.
A pretty way of making baby blankets
is to have the edges crenciated instead of
scallopcd. Delicate torchon lace finishes
the edges.
Eggs poachcd in milk are very nice.
Pour a pint of rich milk into deep
saucepan, and set the saucepan into a
wider, shallow one filled with boiling
water. AS soon as the milk boils, stir
in little butter and salt; drop six eggs
in gently one at a time; cook until the
white is hardened; then pour both milk
and eggs into a deep, hot platter. By
using care in the operation the eggs will
not be broken.
Mrs. S. gives this recipe for mock
mince pie: Nine small butter crackers,
two cups of cider or one cup of vine gar
and one of water; half cup of molasses,
one cup of sugar; a piece of butter the
size of walnut, one cup of chopped
raisins and spice to taste. Mix all the
ingredients together and set them on the
fire until they become hot. When quite
cold fill the pastry-lined pans; cover with
a top crust and bake.
To wash lace, make lather of good
white soap, have it just lukewarm, lay
the lacein it over night. In the morn
ing squeeze out, and put in fresh water,
little soapy. Rinse AMI blue slightly,
pin on cloth and hang out. When
dry dip it in sweet milk, squeeze out
and lay on the cloth, pick out and pull
in shape, lay cloth and all between the
leaves Of large book, like geography,
and put weight on it until dry.
This padding will repay the outlay:
Stir together in saucepan on the fire the
yolks of seven eggs, five ounces of sugar
and a large tablespoonful of -four until
the mixture becomes a rather stiff batter.
When it has cooled add one ounce Of gela-
tine, which has been dissolved in little
water, and third of a pint of cream, we'll

The Dangers of MeSmerism.

DR.. A. Ransome, the chairman, and
DR.. Emry-,Iones and Mr.. 7. G. Abbott,
the secretaries of the Manchester and
Stafford England Sanitary association,
have forwarded to the press the follow
ing statement drawn up at the request of
the committee: Exhibitions of the phe-
nOmena of mesmerism have become very
frequent of late, aud many people have
been trying experiments in private in ref
erence to the same matter. 1t appears to
the committee OK the Sanitlry assOcia-
ton very important that public attention
should be called to the dangers arising
out of such tampering with the highly
organized and nervous system of many
people. 1t is possible that in some cases
tgickery may be made subservient in some
of the exhibitions in question, but with
out entering into the difficult and still
obscure physiology of the mcsmeric state,
it will be sufficient to point out that
in this condition, when really at
tanned, the will of the subject
is, for the time, in abey-
ance and his actions, and even his SEN
sations and ideas are entirely under the
control of the person operating. By fire.
quent repetition of the operation the sub
mission to the influence becomes more
facile, and its action is intensified. More
over, there appears to be developed Xix
ing for the mcsmCrized state, so that the
subjects present themselves willingly for
experiment, and it becomes quite easy for
persons in no way connected with the
first operator to throw these persons into
such a condition that they are entirely
under their power, in which they cannot
resist any indignity, and can be made to
commit any act, however outrageous, at
the command of almost any person who
may choose to assert imperiously such
power. 1t will readily be seen how dam
gerous is such a condition, not only to
the subjects themselves, but also to tho
! public at large. Women especially, for
their own sakcs, should be warned never
to permit themselves to be placed in dam
ger of submitting their will to this para
lying influence, seeing that they may be-
come the slaves, not only of the first
operator, but of other less scrupulous per-

Horses Diseased from Injudicious
Feeding.

Bulletin No. 10, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college, treats of a disease that
is liable to affect horses that are kept too
high with too little exercise. rhesn
cases are those in which the animal is
"killed by Kindness" something which
might perhaps occur where animals are
much thought of.
When the disc Sc begins to show itself
it will be in case of horse in good con.
Nition and we'll fed being allowed to
stand in its stall days at time. When
brought cut it may appear in the best
of spirits, but after being on the road a
little while will begin to show signs of
distress and of extreme prostration 1t
may occuc at any season of the year, but
is usually more prevalent in the spring.
The symptoms are usually well marked;
as rule a horse after being driven and
allowed to stand will tremble sometimes
violently. The eyes will present very
anxious look; perspiration will run down
the face and sometimes the whole body
will be believed with sweat. At this
stage the animal will paw with its fore
feet and soon lies down, o? will crouch

the back, having difficulty in using its
hind legs in walking: when it lies down
in many instances it is unable to rise. At
this stage the urine is, if voidcd or drawn
away, Of brownish red color; the
breathing becomes hurried, the nostrils
dilated and red; the hind quarters will
have hard, board like feeling.
The treatment recommended in such
cases is to give an active purgativc con-
sisting of quart of linscad oil; the af-
fected parts should be covered with
cloths wrung out of hot water, and the
whole covered with oil cloth or q close
fabric to keep the heat in. An enema
may be given every hour or two until the
bowels begin to act. After twelve hours
the hot cloths may be removed, but the
body should be clothed according to the
season. The urine should be drawn sew
eral times day. After day or two the
horse should be got upon his feet and cx-
crciscd a little to stimulate the blood YES
sells of the leg. The disease should be
treated by veterinary surgeon.

ent of the AgricuIturis, we have every.
thing in readiness, which is one-half the
victory; hives all prepared and sitting in
the shade in the center of the apiary.
Then we have some light swarming boxes
that | made in the winter 1t makes no
difference what the size is, so long as they
are about the capacity of hive, with
large openings in each side covered with
wile-cloth, as the bees need considerable
air after such violent exercise. We have
the covers well secured with hinges and
so arranged that when we shut the cover
down it will stay there even if we should
let the box fall with the bees inside In
order to avoid the vexation and trouble
OF climbing for Swarms | gather some of
last years mullen just before swarming
time, and after tying them in punches
(say ten stalks in bunch) | fasten them
IN the tree where the bees will hang in
the shade when clustered, and where l
can reach them easily. While this may
be an ancient practice, yet as l will show,
it is most valuabln one; you see, these
little punches OF mule n resemble little
clusters of bees so much that two-thirds
of our swarm alight on these decoys. So
you see we get large returns for small
amount of labor. When a swarm issues
we wait quietly in the shade until the
bees have clustered and become quiet,
all the while keeping a sharp lookout
lest another swarm issue before we can
secure this one. If another should chance
to start we just sprinkle little water on
the bees to check them for a while; but
mind, this sprinkling must be done at
the very first start of the bees in order to
prove efectual. The swarm left to clus-
ter is now ready to be hived. BY waiting
until the bees are quiet we are sure that
they have queen with them, and will
not leave the new hive to return to the
old colony. Our hives are side opening,
and if the cluster is down near the
ground quite handy we place the hive so
that the open side is just under the clus-
ter, give the limb a sudden upward jar,
and usually hardly dozen bees will be
left to return to the old colony. When
they chance to alight higher up we use
the swarming EoX, and after the bees
have ,en secure therein set them in the
SIlduC i lew HlOlnGHIS Until Iuey are
quiet, when we give the box sudden
jar, which settles all the bees on the bot
tom; then we raise the cover and pour
the bees into the hive and adjust the
movable side. If this is done rapidly and
ski'lfully very few bees will escape or be
c.ushcd daring the operation. We set
the hive right side up with the entrance
closed, and then let the bees alone for a
few moments until they have had time to
run up and cluster at the top, then we
oTcn the entrance, and not one swarm in
fifty attempts to swarm out. This giving
them time to run up the sides and cluster
at the top is a matter of vital Importance.

Kilanea's BOttomless Crater.

Mr.. Charles NJ. Rowley, vice president
of the Brush Electric Light company,
says in a recent private letter from
abroad:
'NTrs. Rowley, my son Charles and
myself, with seven other ladies and
gentlemen from Australia, visited the
great volcano known as Kilanea, on the
Island of Hawaii, five hundred miles
from Honolulu, and nearly 5000 miles
from San Francisco. We left Honolulu
by steamer, and after stormy voyage of
two days landed in Hawaii, and thence
went on mules over thirty miles of lava
beds until we reached the crater of Kila-
nea, now seven thousand feet above the
sea. We descended at night into the
crater, and walked a distance of three
miles over lava until we reached
the burning lake. This was very
active, and we sat for hours
on the brink of the great lake
of fire. which was at least
three miles long by one and half wide.
The waves of fire were running very
high, often one hundred feet, while erup-
tions were of frequent occurrence, throw
ing molten lava into the air hundreds of
feet with a noise that was deafcning.
"Now for our narrow escape. This en-
tire lava area, including miles around the
lake, the very spot where we sat down
and passed hours, the three miles of path
way across the lava beds upon which we
walked, within forty-eight hours after
we left was completely destroyed, the
whole having fallen in, leaving an open
crater miles in extent and apparently
fathomless. This was followed by forty
three distinct shocks of earthquake, last
ing for period Of fourteen hours. The
whole party felt thankful at their narrow
escape from an awful doom, and will re-
member the rest of their days how near
they came to journey to the centre
of the earth"

Sheep have strong digestive organs,
and can masticate whole grain so thor
oughly that little or none will be wasted
but it requires much care in feeding
them, as no animal is more delicate and
easily cloyed. Little and often should
be the practice. In the pasture, where
they can help themselves, they will eat
almost continuously; but if any food be-
comes the least bit soiled or soured they
will refuse it. While hog will proba-
bly, make more weight of meat from
given amount Of feed than any other ami
nal, the sheep often excels it in the
greater value of its product. Well-fat-
tened lamb Or mutton often commands
fancy prices, and when it does not, there
is always in wellfed sheepa considerable
increase in weight of fleece, which is
worth more per pound than any kind of
meat.

at any time the animal is over fed, the
