ton of this mt the ashes, poundino them

top of this put the ashes, pounding them
down as added, having q depression in
the middle to hold the water better. Then
if there are men or boys whose services
are to be had, have them fill a couple of
barrels of water for your convenience.
Soft water is best if it can be spared.
Pour the water on gradually, so that it
will take the strength of the ashes and
make good Iye. Usually the first that
runs off is very strong, AMI it gradually
becom ed weaker the longer it runs. As
it collects fill the big kettle, and when
nearly full put fire under it. If clear
greese is used, it is well to wait until the
lyeis hot before putting in. Six quarts of
clear grease will make barrel or soap
so say experienced makers of soft soap.
On a farm, with ordinary care, there will
always be sufficient grease to make al
the soap needed for large family. II
the ashes are good and everything else
has been we'll done, once boiling up will
make the soap. 1t should, however, be
kept hot all day to prevent separation
In the morning it will be cool enough TO
be dipped out and put in a barrel. 4

through a barrel of soap will be found q
great Improvement, making the clothes
wash easier, and they will be whittier with
less labor. If more than one kettle of
soap is to be made, and there are rough
grease scraps and such things to be used,
they should be put in the kettle at first,
that the I've as gathered, may begin to
take effect on them. When the lye is
ve1y strong, often the first kettleful will
refase TO "cone," as the saying goes.
Take little out of the kettle and add
slowly some cold water and it will usual
ly become soap Immediately. Sometimes
the amount in the kettle [ mean a cal
dron) will bear three or four pailfuIs of
water, and then be excellent soap. Usu-
ally the last kettle of I've will require
boiling longer than the first on account
of the Iye becoming weaker. It is profit
able, as well as convenient, to use up the
refuse grease which accumulates, and it
gives q feeling Of enjoyment to put
everything in good shape. If the house
keeper makes the soap herself she knows
What it is made of, which is not always
the case with the mere expensive hard
soap that is purchased. careful per-
son will always cover the kettle of soap
when it is left to cool over night, so chat
no stray animal may blunder into it; and
the fires need attention so that no dam
age may come from them.

Did You Ever Kill Anybody?
Yankee Blade.

It may seem at first glance that nobody
has any right to hurl such monsJrous
question at a promiscuous public. But
however startling the statement may be,
about one-half of the population Il
metho6ically engaged in killing off the
other half. III Darwin's famous theory
of the survival of the fittest is true land
who can doubt it?), the strongest survive
and the weakest perish. 1t is said that
so per cent. of the people who go into
business fail. Com petition is so strong
that only the sbrewdest, the most active,
and the most vigilant succeed, and under
toe operation of natural business laws
this small fraction dispossesses the other
and larger fraction, and occupies the
whole field themselves. The little fish
are eaten by the big fish, the big fish are
eaten by men, and men, speaking meta
phorically, are eaten by other men.
But iG is the ways ana indiosy ncrasies
of individual men aud women that kill
A wise philosopher has said that no two
persons, unless they are man and woman
violently in love, can live intimately to
gether for ten years without hating each
other. And man often slowly murders
his wife by his manners. The unconsci
Gus defects of ones character, his little
whims and crotchets, his pet theories or
HE darling hobbies are sometimes the
instruments of slow torture by which a
man murders his wife. In precisely a
similar way wife frequently murders
her husband. The daily torture of tired
nerves finally brings the victim to the
grave, just as surely as daily pinch of
strychnine in the coffee pot. There have
been thousands of boys who have muir
dered their mothers without knowing it.
Perhaps after all it is not an i'm pertinent
question for any man to ask of himself:
Did you ever kill anybody"

ASPARAGUS OMELET.

Cut four or five tender pieces of as
paragus, into pieces about 1 inch long.
Boil in sailed water until tender, about
fifteen minutes. Drain and stand In a
warm place while you make the omelet.
Beat four or six eggs slightly, not en-
ough to make them light, but simply to
3hly mix. Making an omelet is
indeed an art. If you beat the eggs I'M
til light the omelet is invariably tasteless
and tough; if you use milk it is sodden
and heavy. If salt is added at first it
toug hens it. Flour, corn starch Or arrow
root should never be used. The common
error is too much beating and too much
cooking. After you have beaten slightly,
add to them four teaspoonfuls of boiling
water and piece of butter the size of a
flbert. Now stir in carefully the aspara
gus. Melt 2 ounces of butter in a per
fsctly clean, round frying pan; pour in
the omelet at once; shake, and with a
knife, separate the thickened part from
the frying pan, allowing the liquid part
to go underneath. 1t must never stick,
but move as you shake the pan from one
side to the other. As soon as the eggs
begin to set, dust with salt and pepper,
and, with a timber knife, roll and fold
the omelet and turn it out on a heated
plate. Send to the table at once.

SOWING RYE.
One of the Best Selling Crops to Grow.

As general rule rye is considered as a
somewhat surer crop than wheat. 1t is
one of the best soiliDg crops that can be
grown, coming up early in the spring and
yielding a large amount of feed, and
what is not used for feeding green can be
turned under as fertilizer, or be cut
and made into hay.
It should be sown reasonably early in
the fail SO that good thrifty growth can
be secured in the fall. If desired con
siderable amount of pasturage can be Sc
cured during the winter. About the
same quantity should be sown to the acre
as CT wheat, and the preparation of the
soil and the seeding is about the same.
At our last farmers club meeting, SOW
ing rye was discussed somewhat. One of
our best farmers stated, that with him
rye was a rather uncertain crop, unless
he sowed oats with it. His plan is to SOW
about five pecks of rye to the acre and in
addition to SOW one peck of oats. The
oats come up quick and make good
growth during the fall; they aid material
ly TO protect the rye from the ravages of
the Hessian fly, and during the winter act
as mulch to protect the rye plants from
freezing out. He claimed to have tried
the plan sufficiently so that he felt sure
that with anything like an average sea-
son he could SOW rye and be reasonably
certain of q fair crop, and in this way
considered it is good crop to SOW for
winter pasturage and early spring soil
ing
Another member had tried the plan OF
taking small patch OF between four and
five acres, ploughing well early in the
summer and manuring well, working the
manure thoroughly into the soil, and then
sowing to rye the latter part of August or
the first of September. After good

And tormentS born of welded fears.
Sometimes amid the changing route,
rainbowed figure glldes about,
And from her brightness like the day,
The whipping shadows stink away.

The seven colors of her wings;
The seven blossoms of her crown
There violets Irvine for amethyst;
Small lilies white as silken down,
Those myrtle sprays her locks have kissed
And pansies that are beryl-blue,
And varied roses rich of hue,
With iradecent dewy eyes
OF buds that bloom in Paradise.
Come often, thou ethereal childl
Now string thy Tyre and sing to me,
Thy voice estate, fresh and wild,
Enthralls each dark-browed fantasy.
Beyond the walls she bids me peer
To see future dim and dear;
Sweet faces shining through the mist
Like children waiting to be kissed,
A lovely nand that knows no pam
Atlantis land beyond LIES main,
Where we who loved may love again.
All, me! is this beyond the plan
OF Gods benefcence to man.
