Steam Cooking.

The steamer is a kitchen utensil
that is not used enough, for many
kinds of food are better steamed
than boiled and the operation is bet
ter done in this way. They are
drained, laid on a plate and steamed
for about ten minutes, until they
look white and plump. The liquor
is used for dressing, after beating
and mixing with an equal quantity
of cream, the liquid being thickened
with little cornstarch. If plum
cake is steamed for three hours and
tEen baked for an hour it is better
than when baked in the ordinary
way. Stale bread and biscuit can
be rendered as fresh as when new
by steaming five or six minutes.
Do not let the condensed steam drop
on the bread when the cover is re-
moved. Butter the bread as it is re-
moved and pile lightly on hot dish.
Tough fowls are made as tender as
chickens by steaming as long as two
hours or so if they are veterans fill
with a stuffing of bread crumbs,
ETC., before putting in the steamer.
a useful size of steamer is one about
twelve inches high and fitting over
an ordinary iron pot. Steamers may
be got small enough to fill tea ket-
tie or big enough for several COM
partments. Things that are steam
ed cannot burn, and once over a
pot of boiling water, the hurried
housekeeper may dismiss them from
her mind, only taking care that the
fire does not get so low as to let the
water cease boiling. This must not
be done for an instant.

"KEEP SHEEP ANYHOW Those
who have focks of sheep should keep
their best blood, but do not be dazed
or crazed with the expectation of
high prices. Do not sacrifice your
fiocks, but cut them down to the best.
We should eat more lamb and NUT
ton, and it may be a great blessing
that it is necessary to push this side
of the sheep interest, which should
result in the rearing of better mutton,
more of it, and its presentation to the
public in more attractive forms and
everywhere. Now beef is In the
front, and the consumer sees little
else, unless in the time of sausages,
when pigs divide the space, but TAX
ing only small part. Mutton can
easily be grown cheaper than any
other meat, as the fleece will go far to
make up the cost of raising. No an
imal will grow faster in proportion to
the food consumed than lamb. The
per cent. of gain as to cost is the
high, st. Here is a good basis for the
skill of the breeder. The word
ssskill'' is the key to the whole thing.
One man will grasp it, and he will
fail Begin with a few and enlarge
as your skill is developed. Keep
some sheep anyhow.-T. ID. Curtis IN

Too Many Horses.

Farmers are getting overstocked
with a class of horses that answer
every purpose of common farm an
imals, but do not seem to suit the
trade for shipping purposes. Ten
or twelve wears ago the horse craze
struck McGrawsville, Ind, through
the introduction of thoroughbred Nor
mans and some other breeds that
were brought at fancy prices, and
of course fancy prices were charged
for service to mares, and the colts
brought as much at weaving time as
a common three-year old. The re-
suit has been that nearly everybody
turned their attention to raising
colts, and like all other business that
the masses engage in, there is only
a small per cent. that will give the
attention to all the details of the
business to make a success of it, and
this horse business has been no ex-
ception to the rule. Some few men
have been turning off good three and
four-year old horses for 5000 TO
$3.50 apiece, but the surplus animals
will not bring these fancy prices.
1t is no uncommon thing to see one
man with six horses, with forty to
sixty acres of land; this will include
all ages, and not one of the number
can be sold for anything like the
above prices. These men have paid
as much for their colts as the ones
that get better prices, and they nat
urally think they ought to get as
much for these when they are grown,
never stopping to consider the ex-
ira care and attention given them
that bring the better prices. But
this horse business, like all others,
will adjnst itself to the laws that
govern all other business, and /
think there are signs of a sharp de-
cline in the price of that class of
horses.

Temperamee.
A Word in Season.

To young womanhood belongs the
opportunity to mould and determine
the usages and customs of society,
for coming time. AS a practical il
lustration of this truth, the following
facts are given:
A young man who had just grad
uated from prominent eastern col
lege, was about to leave his home
for month or two in Paris, before
entering the University at Heidelberg.
He had previously resided year in
France. AS he stood upon the plat
form of the car, surrounded by his
loving family, each of whom We'd to
say the sweetest word of good-b bye,
Jessie, his lifelong neighbor and
friend, whispered, "Take this with
out the quotation marks. Dare to
be a Daniel
''That old saw, jess! You treat
me like schoolboy ; nevertheless"
"Tn remember" she said with an
arch smile. "That is what l want
you to say as the car moved off
rapidly.
A month later his mother received
letter containing the following:
CAT Lady Moliere's dinner party,
three slender goblets, one of purple,
one of amber and one of white glass,
stood at each plate. The latter
whe; lifted, indicated to the watch
full servant behind your chair that
you wanted water; the purple, wine
of one brand, and the amber, that
of another. Fourteen distinguished
guests surrounded the hospitable
board, being the only American.
While every one else drank the wine,
I quietly slipped the water IN pref
erence, not thinking any one noticed
me.
Presently the host lifted his amber
glass full of sparkling wine, saying
to the guests / drink to the young
women of America. Will our young
friend, MR.. respond? I'm
mediately all eyes were turned upon
me. [ felt lump rising in my
throat which nearly choked me. My
amber glass was filled, so was the
white one. In that supreme moment
of temptation distinctly heard the
voice of Jessie saying, ''Dare to be
a Daniel Lifting the water said:
believing the young women of Amer
lea to be among the best and purest
in the world, and the wisest of them
are those who believe this-lifting
the water-to be the only safe and
God-given beverage, l beg leave to
empty it in their honor
Mother dear, it was hard to do;
the guests exchanged chances, polite
ones, of course, and then the CONVEX
sation turned almost naturally, [
thought, upon tine w. G. I. U. move
ment in America and England. My
opinion was asked and, thanks to
you, I was at home on the subject.
Did l not eulogize the Y's? Tell
Jessie 1 believe / made an impress
sion."
This seems another illustration
that swords fifty spoken are like
apples of gold in pictures of silver"
The massive gates OF circumstance,
Are turned upon the smallest hinge;
And thus some seeming pettest chance,
Oft gives our life it's after tinge.

A Low Voice in Women.

Yes, we agree with that old poet
who said that low, soft voice was
an excellent thing in women" In
deed, we feel inclined to go much
farther than he has on the subject,
and call it one of her browning
charms. No matter what other at
fractions she may have; she may be
as fair as the Trojan Helen, and as
learned as the famous Hypathia of
ancient times she may have all the
accomplishments considered requis-
lite at the present day, and every adj
vantage that wealth can procure, and
yet if she lacks low, sweet voice,
she can never be really fascinating.
How often the spell of beauty is
rudely broken by coarse, loud talk
ing. How often you are drawn to
a plain, unassuming woman, whose
soft, silvery tones render her posi-
lively attractive. Besides, we fancy
we can judge Of the character by the
voice; the bland, smooth, fawning
tones seem to betoken deceit and
hypocracy as invariably as the must
cal, subdued voice indicates genuine
refinement. In the social circle how
pleasant it is to hear woman talk
in that low key which always char
acterizes the true lady. In the sane
tuary at home how such a voice
soothes the fretful child and cheers
the weary husband. How sweetly
its cadence floats through the sick
chamber and around the dying bed;
with what solemn melody do they
breathe prayer for the departing
soul All, yes, a low, soft voice is
certainly San excellent thing in wom-
an. '-LeiSure Hour.

Fattening Fowls.

This is now the question the farmer
and poultry man are discussing in
their minds. The surplus stock, both
old and young, must be worked off.
The old should have been ere moult-
ing began, but if it has not, retain
them until the new feathers are nicely
here, then work them off while in
good, healthy condition, even if lay
ing, so much the better for the table.
Fowls that are to be fattened should
not be confined longer than from 10
to IA days. 1t can be done in this
time, and if confined longer they be-
gin to lose in value, weight, and quail
ity. In order to fatten fowls nicely
and quickly they should be confined
in as small cage as consistent with
comfort without activity. Allow
them little space for exercise. The
best is a cage constructed entirely of
laths or bars, with a feed board or
trough on the outside. A cage about
A feet long. Is inches wide and high,
is for dozen birds. For less birds,
less space. Feed four times a day,
with corn as the last meal. Ground
oats and wheat, with milk is best for
the other meals. Milk is especially
conducive to the production of fine
favored flesh. Place such together
as are accustomed to each others
company, and, if young, about like
sizes. Before killing, do not feed or
water for u or 10 hours. The flesh
will be nicer and keep better.

How To Select Meats.

The following rules, given by
Prof. Vaughn, may govern US in the
selection of meats:
Good beef has a reddish brown
color, and contains no clots of blood.
Well nourished beeves furnish flesh
which while raw is marbled with
spots of white fat; 1T is firm and
compact. Old lean animals furnish
a flesh which is tough, dry and dark;
theifat is yellow. Veal is slightly
reddish, and has tender white fibres.
The fat is not distributed through
the lean, as in beef. The same is
true of mutton. In well-nourished
animals white fat accumulates along
the borders of the muscles.
Pork is rose-red, and has fat dis
tributed through the muscle. The
lard is white, and lies in heavy de-
posts under the skin. The flesh
of an old boar is dark and, often
has an unpleasant odor and taste
Good beef is not of a pale pink
color, and such color indicates that
the animal was diseased. Good
beef does not have a dark purple
hue, for this color is evidence that
the animal has not been slaughtered,
but died with the blood in it's body,
or has suffered from the acute febrile
affection.
Good beef has no, or little odor;
OF if any is perceptible, it is not dis
agreeable. In Judging as to the
odor of meat, pass a clean knife,
which has been dipped in hot water,
through it, and examine subsequent
ly as to the odor of the knife. Taint-
ed meat often gives off plainly per-
ceptible and disagreeable odor while
being cooked. Good meat is elastic
to the touch. Meat that is wet and
fabby should be discarded. 1t should
not become gelatinous after being
kept in a cool place for two days,
but should remain dry on the surface
and firm to the touch.

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE WORK.

The London Temperance Hospital
has been established fourteen years.
In that time alcoholic stimulants
have been resorted to in not more
than five cases, and in these in
stances, the results have been no
more successful than where remedies
ordinarily used in the hospital were
employed. Up to the present time,
over 10000 patients have been un-
der treatment, more than $4,000 of
whom were more or less addicted to
drink. Many of these seeing the
good effect of the treatment, have
become total abstainers. The rate
of mortality has been only So per
cent. In fatal cases, there were
fully one-ffth more deaths among
non-abstainers than among teetota-

REFORM WORK.

In a city of about $4,000 inhabi
tants at their last charter election, a
mayor was elected who at the be-
ginning of gospel temperance was
a drinking man. Every comfort was
gone-the cooking stove mortgaged,
and he in wretched condition. One
of our workers, woman of deeds,
not of words simply, handed him at
one of the w. G. T. L. entertain
ments, a package containing an or
ange and confection. 1t set the
man to thinking, that he at his time
of life should be willing to accept
such gift. 1t aroused his latent
pride and sense of honor, and he
signed the pledge. To-day he is a
successful business man, and is also
a elf-respecting as well as respect
ed man. | NJ. Y. j.

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth

A prominent English woman SAYS the
American women all have high. shrill,
nasal voices and false teeth
Americans don't like the constant twit-
ting they get about this nasal twang, and
yet it is a fact caused by our dry stimua-
ting atmosphere, and the universal pres
ence of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our women
have false teeth?
That is more of poser to the English.
It is quite impossible to account for it
except on the theory of deranged stomach
action caused by imprudence N eating
and by want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
gre promoted by mal-nutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition
is a modern one, one unknown to our an
cestors who prevented the catarrh, cold,
cough and consumption by abundant and
regular use of what is now known as
Warmers Log Cabin cough and consump-

Warmers Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal mem

quences, pneumonia, lung troubles and
