A Curious Pack Of Cards.

Governor Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia,
has been asked for photo of his phiz by
an inventor who is getting up pack of
cards, forty-eight of which will show the
faces of the forty eight Governors of the
States and Territories. Four more will
have the pictures of tie Presidential and
Vice-Presidential candidates of the two
leading parties, and the little joker. or
fifty third card, will bear upon its face
a picture of either Mr.. Blaine or MIR.
Butler. Truly, the American inventor
leads the world in fertility of resource
and audacity of consummation.-BaIta-

An Ocean Vampire.

A devil fish or ocean vampire was &C.
cidentally caught near Tampico, Mexico,
in fishing seine recently. Ropes were
thrown around the monster, and by the
aid of horses it was drawn to the shore.
It weighed two tons, and, when spread
out on the beach, dead, presented every
appearance of an enormous bat or vam-
pire. It measured fifteen feet long and
seventeen feet wide from the edge of
the pectoral fins, and its mouth was five
feet across. A number of them had been
seen for some time, but all efforts to
catch one had proved futile.-MeU Or

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A Lesson in Butter.


A little maid in the morning sun
Stood merrily singing and churning-
"Oh, how wish this butter was done,
Then off to the field I'd be turningl"
So she hurried the dasher up and down,
Till the farmer called In half-made frown-
"Churn slowlyl
sDon't ply the churn so fast, my dear,
It is not good for the butter,
And will make your arms ache, too, fear,
And put you all in flutter;
For this is rule wherever we turn,
Don't be in haste whenever you churn-
Churn slowly!
"If you want your butter nice and sweet,
Don't churn with nervous jerking,
But ply the dasher slowly and neat
You'll hardly know that you're working
And when the butter has come you'd say,
Yes, surely, this is the better way.
Churn slowlyp
Now all you folks, do you think that you
A lesson can find in butter?
Don't be in haste, whatever you do,
Or get yourself in flutter:
And when you stand at life's great churn,
Let the farmers words to you return, .,
''Churn slowly"

Cows and Calves.

It takes a smart farmer, says E. s.
Gilbert in the New York Tribune, to get
o calf away from a cow before she knows
she has had one, and the fuss she makes
after it does not depend in the least on
the time she has had it with her, but
upon her own disposition. I had an old
COW who never was consoled in less than
q month; she would leave the pasture
every day to roar before the shed where
she supposed it to be; another in the
same yard would not come o step after
her calf as I carried it away; out of sight
it was out of mind; she would chew her
cud in perfect content from the first.
The progeny of these cows have inherited
the disposition of their respective moth
ers, though the offspring of the one is
less frantic, anG of the other less lndif-
ferent. Those who heed the advice so
often given to separate the calf from its
mother at the earliest possible moment
will soon want to hear of cure for
caked udder, and here is an extra good
one: Let the calf run with the cow un-
Ill the m TX is fit for use. 1t is good
for the calf if you intend to raise
it; it is good for the cow if you do not.
:. The calf's treatment is great success
in all ordinary cases; an excellent palli-
ative in the very worst. Clean out the
milk twice day, or you may take q
large part before the calf sucks in the
morning and let him bunt for his rations.
he will thus keep the bag clear of milk
and mellow it up in a way you would
never spend time to do, supposing you
competent to do it. To teach young
calf to drink, back him into corner
of the shed and stand astride his neck
30 he can 60 neither backward nor for
ward, having the pail in reach. Put
three fingers in his mouth, letting him
hold his head as high as he likes; dip
up milk with your free hand and pour it
into the other; it will run down into his
mouth and he will begin to suck. Now
lift the pail up to his nose, and as he
gets interested gently lower it toward
The ground. he will object to this, but
you will come it after little. Now be-
gin gently to take your fingers out of
his mouth; you will succeed in this be-
fore long, and the calf is broken. A
neighbor, who always had good calves,
kept large trough in their pasture,
which was full of milk all the time, the
calves going to it at pleasure, as if it
were watertrough.

Darnfne Needle Cushion.

Take six pieces of silk braid, each meas
uring four and half inches in length,
and Overseam on the wrong side neatly,
leaving half an inch at each end for
fringe. Any colors can be selected, but
purple, gray, brown, pink, green and
black look well together. The best way
to do, as the saying goes, is ''to cut your
coat according to your CLOTH" and take
whatever odds and ends of braid are
useless in your scrap bag. Feather stitch
the seams on the right side with Crewel,
or for the sake of variety, make differ
ent fancy stitches. Then overseam the
last two pieces of braid which were left
open for convenience, and also orna-
ment with feather stitch. Gather this
long bag at one end, above the half inch
left for fringe, and fill with cotton,
sprinkled with sachet powder. Then
sew up the other end. Take pin and
fringe the braid and tie pretty little
bow of narrow ribbon over the stitches
at each end. Slip your darning needle
in carefully and securely and you have a
useful addition to your work basket.
The perfume combines pleasure with
utility, and you can either follow the
scent as the hunting dogs do their game,
or you can stick your fingers in pursuit
of your needles. This is supposing your
work basket is in its traditional disor.

Recipes.


ASPARAGUS DREssINe.-A simply,
easily prepared dressing for asparagus
consists of one teaspoonful of made
mustard, little salt and pepper and q
desert spoonful of vinegar mixed with
one tablespoonful of butter melted.
BAKED EGes.-Grease pie-pan well
with lard, spread thick with bread or
cracker crumbs, break the eggs over
them in circle, pepper and salt; set in
the oven to bake until the whites are all
set, then run a knife round under them
and slip off onto plate, and you have a
dish that is both wholesome and hand
some.
PRuNE PUDD1Ea.-A delicious prune
pudding is made by stewing pound of
prunes until they are soft; remove the
stones, add sugar to your taste and the
whites of three eggs beaten to q stitf
froth. Make a puff paste for the bot
tom of the pudding dish. After beat.
ing the eggs and prunes together until
they are thoroughly mixed; spread on
the crust. Bake for half an hour, OF
until you are sure the crust is done. A
ielly cake batter can be used instead OF
the puff paste, and with the two remain
ing layers you can make a Washington
pie. -.
TOMATO SAUcE.-Strain off the liquid
from two pound can of tomatoes. Put
into frying pan teaspoonful OF drip
ping, a Glove or garlic, or small onion
chopped fine, a spray of mace and a
teaspoonful of -four. When it begins to
color add the tomato pulp. Simmer
over moderate fire to prevent burning,
stir and cover twenty minutes, salt and
pepper to taste. Press the pulp through
a fine sieve, and if too thick add very
little beef gravy or clear soup. Return
to the range and keep hot until wanted.
This is the simplest way to make tomato
sauce at home.
BEET SPRoUTs.-A very wholesome
vegetable is the young beet greens.
Wash them we'll and cut up, but not
fine. Put into large frying pan quar-
ter of a pound of ham or bacon fat, after
it begins to fry out add the greens.
Pile them up high on the dish and put
a cover on top. They will gradually
cook down. No water should be added.
Stir occasionally. From fifteen to TWEEN
ty minutes is long enough to cook them.
The tender tops of radishes are excel
lent eating and may be mixed with
other greens, although many throw
them away.
New PEAs.-The green peas receive
more abuse from cooks than any other
vegetable. If they do not spoil the color
of the peas they invariably cook them
to mush or drown them in a bath of
milk or water. Sometimes they soak the
green peas in water after shelling them,
thereby running their favor. Melt a
heaping teaspoonful of butter in a pol
ished fryingpan, add pint of shelled
green peas, and stir the pan to prevent
burning. This preliminary cooking
brings out their color. Add a table
spoonful of clear soup or hot water,
cover the pan ten minutes, and try the
peas. If not too old they should be
cooked. Turn them into a hot vegetable
dish, season with salt, white pepper, and
little more butter. No se-called boil
ing is necessary.
