CAPT. James Walsh has done good
work on Franklin Street, giving it a
Broadway appearance. He has had but
a small force and yet he has done q
great deal of valuable work.
The fill at Double-pond is about 700
feet long, and where the street was
originally only 80 feet, it is now 81 feet
wide. The work about Double-pond
is nearly completed, and the gravel
makes beautiful piece of workman
ship. Most Of this work has been done
by the chain-gang, the balance by
hired labor.

A Spoonful of Love.

DR.. 0. w. Holmes:-I never saw q
garment too fine for man or maid;
there never was a chair too good for a
cobbler or a cooper or d king to sit in;
never a house too fine to shelter the
human head These elements about
US, the glorious sun, the imperial sun,
are not too good for the human race.
Elegance fits man. But do we not
value these tools a little more than
they are worth, and sometimes mort
gage a house for the mahogany we
bring into it? l had rather eat my
dinner off the head of barrel, or
dress after the fashion Of John the
Baptist in the wilderness, or sit on
block all my life, than consume all
myself before got to q home, and
take SO much pains with the outside
when the inside was as hollow as an
empty nut. Beauty is q great thing;
but beauty OF a garment, house and
furniture are tawdry ornaments COM
pared with domestic love. All the ell
egance in the world will not make q
home, and would give more for a
spoonful Of real hearty love than for
whole shiploads OF furniture and all
the gorgeousness all the upholsterers
in the world can gather.

Care of Chickens.

The chickens must be protected
from the sun. Their little hearts beat
fully 100 times each minute They
suffer in the sun. Note their habits.
From Ten to four o'clock they will lie
quietly in the shade, and wallow in
damp, cool earth. When the sun has
reached the last quarter Of the day,
fti,ey come out to forage and feed for
THE night. They leave the coop early
I'm the morning. They must be pro-
tEected from the village cat, that they
fs,ay take this four O'Clock morning
stroll to secure the worms and in
eects- If confined, each morning they
:snust be furnished meat food Each
might they must have their feed OF
grass or vegetables chopped fine. Ii
1being grown artifcially in rfned
quarters, it is absolutely necessary
that you regularly feed meat. vegeta-
BILE and grain food every day. You
cannot lie nbed till nine O'Clock in
she morning, and your chicks await
your sluggard ways of feeding and win
for you the prizes at the fall iairs.
Remember, it is only where the very
best of care is taken that the best re.
suits are secured. Country Home.

Read to the Children.

From Babyhood.
1t will surprise parents who have
not tried the experiment, to see how
deeply interested even very little chill
dren may become in the news OF the
day if told to them in language en-
tirely within their comprehension.
In the mass of information contained
in any issue OF a daily paper may be
found at least two or three items Of
interest to children, if only suitably
presented. A father or mother who
will make a point of thus translating,
once day, few 'true stories" from
this source, will not only be sure Of
having an interested audience, but
will find himself or herself charmed
with seeing how the little mind de-
lights in attempts to reach out into
a wider world than that ofthe nursery.
Even single incident, properly ex-
planned and elaborated, will often
make text for sufficiently lengthy
entertainment, and the newspaper
will thus furnish a daily solution Of
the ever-present problem OF finding
:'some new child's story" 1t is need
less to say that the selections must be
judiciously made, and, Of course, must
include nothing likely to leave an un-
pleasant impression.

will be sufficient and the goods will
look fresher than ifwash. d and starch

A fine frosting can be made of one
cup ofgranulated sugar and one-fourth
cup milk, without either egg or gela-
tine. Method Stir sugar into milk
over slow fire till it boils; boil fiva
minutes without stirring; remove froln
fire; set saucepan in cold water, or on
ice while you stir it to a cream.
Spread on cake while it will run. The
advantages of this frosting are that it
will keep longer than the egg or gela-
tine frosting, and it will cut without
breaking or crumbling. Flayored to
suit the taste, it is excellent.

For the Household.

From Good Housekeeping.
Egg shells will settle coffee as surely
as eggs, but they do not impart the
richness and flavor.
In warm weather, refrigerator clos
cts should be washed with soda and
cold water once or twice q week
Pals and all vessels used in cham
bers should be rinsed thoroughly in
cold water, never in hot or lukewarm.
Stale lard can be made sweet by
bringing to a broil, with slices OF cold
raw potatoes thrown in. The impur-
tiles will rise at the top and can be
skinned off.
If one quart of milk is set in a cool
place for twenty-four hours. it will
yield enough cream, we'll whipt with a
Dover egg beater, to furnish ten cups
strong coffee.
Pulverized borax, sprinkled on
shelves and in corners ofstore-closets,
is a safeguard from ants. If pulveriz-
ed borax is mixed with Persian pow
der, the powder will be more effective.
Cold water and plenty OF it, proper
ly applied, with fair amount ofsoap
or pearline, is the best thing to clean
a kitchen floor. The regulation tboil-
er suds" is apt to make a kitchen
floor greasy. -
Feather beds and pillows would be
very much freshened and lightened il
left out in drenching rain every
spring; they should then beexposed to
The sun and air on every side until
perfectly dry.
Oil-cloths should never be washed in
hot soap-suds; they should first be
| washed clean with cold water, then
rubbed dry with a cloth wet in milk
The same treatment applies to astone
or slate hearth.
To preserve goods from moths, dc
not use camphor in any form. Pieces
of tar paper laid in fur boxes and il
closets are a better protection. Five
cents will buy enough to equip all thu
packing boxes and closets OF a largt
house for a year.
Ginghams and prints will keep theil
color better if washed in water an6
thickened with flour starch. Flour i
