Household Hints.

Wash silk stockings in warm borax water, but never iron them
 Orange tints are useful in many cases for interior decoration, as they are warm and pleasant.
 Prick potatoes before baking, so that the air may escape, otherwise they may burst in the oven.
 White paint that has become discolored may be nicely cleaned by using a little whitening in the water for washing.
 Carpets should never be shaken, as their weight inclines them to part, but be laid on a rope and then beaten at the back.
 A pretty way of serving oranges is to divide the peel into eighths, and bend them down nearly flat; then divide the inside in small parts, being careful not to break the thin skin, and separate them a little; then bend the ends of the peel towards the center.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Wcanine Calves.

A correspondent of the National Stock- man, upon the question of feeding calves, remarks: 'I prefer weaning when two weeks old, while some think it best to wean at the early age of one day. By the time the calf is two weeks old it has commenced to thrive, has put on sorie flesh, and is very much more able to stand the strain on it's young system. l have had the best success learning them to drink by giving them anything the first regular time of feeding. By the sec ond their appetites are sharpened and their thirst increased, so that they will drink out of the bucket without giving them the finger It is a bad habit to learn them to drink by placing the finger in the mouth, and always gives the one trouble who practices it. The calf should be penned in stable where the COW can neither see nor hear it. Then it will soon become resigned in it's new quarters and thrive from the very start.",
 Onions,
 Aside from the potato crop the onion i crop is the most important vegetable crop grown, and under proper culture is an exceedingly profitable crop. They yield from 300 to 500 bushels per acre, according to the nature of the soil and culture, and rarely sell for less than 50 cents per bushel, while they not unfre- quently are worth as high one dollar.
 The soil must be rich and thoroughly and deeply pulverized. A very rich, loamy soil is the best. Manure very heavily with we'll rotted manure. The soil cannot be made too rich. It is use- less to try to grow onions on poor soil or in a shiftless manner A few days, neglect when the weeds are growing rap- idly, or a weeks delay in sowing after the ground is in a suitable condition in the spring, will often ruin the crop. There is no crop in which thorough culture will bring larger returns. A top dressing of wood ashes applied after the second wedding will be found to greatly i'm prove the crop.

probably die; twelve others are unable
to leave their beds, and forty-two in
all have not reported for duty. Two
of the wounded have lost leg
each, another several toes, and third
had his jaw fractured. Lieutenant
Stanton, who was wounded in eighteen
places, and quite Il number of others who
are able to travel, have left the city and
are seeking health in different parts of
the country.
II has been subject of much remark
that the wounds have been exceedingly
slow in healing, and it is generally be-
licvcd that those who were struck by the
Shell were more or less poisoned. Even
those who received slight injuries and
have returned TO duty, carry a lame
leg, or bandagcd hand or some
other mencntO of the OCCASION,
which clings pcrsistcntly to them. This
i. particularly the case with Officer Frank
Murphy, who received very sli.ht
wound in the hand from piece of the
shell. II has never healed. Yesterday ne
went to the hospital to receive treatment,
as serious fears are entertained that
blood poisoning will set in.
