Household Suggestions.

Use a penny to remove paint spots
from glass.
Different favors of cake should be
kept in separate boxes.
Use silver spoon in cooking mush-
rooms. The silver will be blackened
if any injurious quality is present.
If cream soups are to stand any
length of time after being prepared,
place a damp towel over the dish to
prevent scum from rising.
II you are obliged to leave a basket
of clothes that have been dampened
for ironing, longer than usual, put
them in dry place away from artifi-
cial heat and they will not mildew or
sour for days.
II the handler of stove brushes are
kept clean from the first, that part of
the work win seem no dirtier than
any other about the house. 1t is an
excellent plan to use a paint brush for
putting on the backing, also use
plenty of fresh newspapers.-Good

FARM AND FlRESlDE.

See that every portion OF the farm
is producing something, and that
every product is used in the most eco
noInical manner.
1t will do the horse great deal of
good to wash it once in a while, and do
not have the times too far apart.
Wash in tepid water and rub dry.
AS no two animals are alike, it Is
best to consult their appetites and de-
sires. Whatever the animal prefers as
food, and thrives on, it should have.
Food can not be forced on an animal if
it dislikes it.
The purpose of the farmers boy
should be to have and preserve "a
sound mind in sound body" and to
secure knowledge and wisdom which.
in the years to come, may be the pos
session of self-reliant, useful man.
The best time to give full allow
ance of corn and eornmeal is when the
weather is very cold. Corn promotes
warmth and liberal feed of corn is
the best protection against cold next to
shelter. During moderate weather the
supply may be diminished. according to
the necessity of the case
Chicken Hash: Mince cold roast
or boiled chicken. but not very fine,
and to a cupful of meat add two table
spoonfuls of good butter. half a cup of
milk. enough minced onion to give
slight flavor. and salt, pepper and
mace to taste Stew it, taking care to
stir it, and serve daintily with garnish
of parsley. Every particle of bone must
be subtracted-
The Rural World believes that the
general farmer with two hundred acres
of land should keep fifty sheep for
utility's sake alone Such men can af-
ford to estimate the value of sheep
from the standing point of meat, fer
tility and the general advantage to the
farm, regardless of the market price of
wool.
No branch of farming is more
profitable or conducted with less labor
than orcharding when the products can
be sold even at a mod rate price. Be
sides this, apple trees may be planted
on land too rough for root or grain cul-
ture, and high attitudes are more ex-
empt from killing by frost than Or
chards in the valleys and lowlands.
Milk being secreted directly from
the blood, its purity depends upon the
purity of the blood, and for that reason
every care should be taken that the
animals are made as comfortable and
kept as clean as possible. Decaying
matter, pig-styes and manure heaps
should form no part of their surround
ings, and there should be no accumula-
ton of unconsumed food left in their
troughs.
Keep the tools in place and in Or
der. How many farmers, when they
want on axe, hammer or spade have to
ransack the wood-house, barn and all
over the farm. The time wasted look
ing up tools. and working with dull
ones. besides the aggravation of tenn
per, is worse than wasted, while if
we could get the boys in the habit of
order in keeping tools in proper places
how much better it would be.

The Cost of All Attainment.

Hard work is the cost OF all attain
ment that is worth having; yet, while
every body wants the attainment, only
now and then one is willing to do the
hard work that is essential to its secur-
ing. So it comes to pass that the
measure of a mans prospects of at
tainment, is, practically. his willing
ness to work hard and tirelessly. No
man works harder than a great genius.
If more men were willing to work as
hard as the man of genius, more men
would be credited with the possession
of genius, because of their achieving
results which are supposed to come
from the inspirations Of genius.-S. s.

STRENGTH OF ROPES.
Result of Experiments Made by French
Scientist.

The quality of the workmanship,
strength, extensibility and elasticity of
round and fat ropes of hemp and aloe,
and of iron and steel wire, have been
experimentally investigated by A. Du-
boul, and the results of,his experiments
published in the Bulletin de la Societe
d Encouragement des Arts. Paris. In
his experiments Mr.. Duboul used a
horizontal hydraulic press and weigh
ing apparatus consisting of a steelyard
and sliding weight, by which tension
of from one to $50. 900 pounds could be
recorded. For higher pressure gauge
on the body of the press was used.
Specimens were fastened by winding
each end on grooved pulley of special
construction. The usual length of spec
linens for testing was thirteen feet.
The results of all the tests gave for
the average tensile strengths of ropes
the following:
lbs. per So. inch.
White hemp. .10-50 TO 800
Tarred hemp. ZOO to S,4UO
White manila. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $500 to 10 GO
Flat tarred hemp or MANILA. $500 to 500
A factor of safety of 4, or even 3 in
some cases, is considered safe ropes.
A rope of unannealed wire has an
ultimate tensile strength of about
%. 600 pounds per square inch of Sec
ton of metal; when annealed the nlti-
mate strength is reduced to about
40, 900 pounds, but the elongation is
nearly doubled, being IL to 10 per
cent. in annealed wire. The best wire
ropes for mining purposes have a
much higher tensile strength. An
other writer on the same subject says
that the tensile strength of a wet rope
is only cne-third that of the same rope
when dry, and that a rope saturated
with soap or grease is still weaker

IF n certain exceedingly popular play, and

prohibited 10 be used as seats. In the
midst Of the performance rather pretty
blondish woman, with faded air, wOrkcc
her way through the crowd, and, walking

herself on the lowest step. that of the front

I'd permit anyone 10 occupy that place
'fhe weman said something in a low voice
THAI so startled the box-opcner that he at
once went away with pale face and flash

accompanied by some one of the manage

At last the woman rose halfway up FROM
the step and repeated what she Dit after

since she was first requested TO move: II
you say one word TO me about getting UP

nothing TO do about it but let her stay. She
held the lives of hundreds of people in her
hands If she had been seized and taken
out she would have cried fire till they
could gag her When the two men left
her she settled herself comfortably on The
step, and for the rest of the play seemed
absorbed in the performance.
