Fat For Frying.

Just here let me tell thee how to pre-
pare fat for frying that will not have the
disagreeable taste or smell that lard has,
neither will it be so expensive. Have
thy butcher reserve it for thee, say about
ten pounds at a time, of the best beef
fat, and cut it up into small pieces.
When it is brought into the kitchen, put
it into a large pan, and cover it over with
cold water, letting it stand a half hour
or so, as convenient. Then take it out,
putting it into broad kettle over the
stove to gradually try out. When done
strain it off into pan with some cold
water in the bottom. All impurities will
settle in the water or on the cake of fat,
aud the next day it can be melted over
and poured into jars for use. For frying
prefer deep tat for many things, also
the kettles for that purpose, consisting
of double kettle, the lower one for the
fat, with a side handle for allowing the
upper one, which has holes in it, to be
hung upon it, and so drain off all super
fluous fat from the articles fried. Have
all pieces of fat from steaks or roasts of
beef saved, tried out and strained.
Chicken fat as it is taken from the chick
ems before they are cooked, is very nice
for making molasses gingerbread, and,
by some, considered nice for shortcakes
and biscuit. Mutton fat l know of no
use for (as it is impossible to disguise
the taste) except for chapped hands and
the like, but all such scraps are good for
soap grease and that can be easily made
and is very useful for cleaning purposes.
Fat from sausage meat is good for frying
potatoes, also for gingerbread. just try
tiff thee feels disposed to doubt it

THE FARMERS DECISION.
"Well, wife, have studied It over, I've Civ
It n good deal of thought,

"Woll, wife, have studied it over, I've give
1t a good deal of thought,
I've reckoned the costs and requirements, the
trials which at ease will be fought;
I've looked DER the pages of trouble and
iotted the items all down.
And at last I've decided wod better be
movin' of TO town.
Il know the old place is n relic that we al
ways intended TO keep,
And we shall, for we'll rent it to some one
who knows how toplow and to reap;
Yes, wen rent the old homestead not sell it,
so you needn't begin with frown,
Then, after the thing is all settled, we will
take our departure for town.
"This matter l long have considered, and
now then think il is best
That we rent out the lands and the houses,
and seek this new Eden of rest.
We must try to he up with the fashions-O,
pshaw! we're rot any too old,
I'm sixty and you're about fifty, not very
big figure all told.
i've purchase a house of q townsman, It's
fully two good stories high
! got it at purity low tigers, so l thought it
would be best to buy;
There's ev'ry convenenc, we're wantin' both
inside the mansion and out,
The whole thing was bought at "a bargain, for
think knowd what rs about
"You see we can take up our quarters, and
you, if gool fortune attends,
Can put on your best new apparel and call
on your fashionable friends;
While /, with my latest-cut trowsers and
you, with your new ri, back gown
Why, the papers are bound t. take notice
and say were residin' in town.
"To be sure we'l be ever so 'tony--I guess
that's the word that they use;
They'll invite us to dinners and suppers, and
be mad if We dare to refuse
We will rent a new church-pew and buy new
books, and should the good people de
sire,
Our assistance wen lend to the callin', and
send forth our notes in the choir
So the farmer, good soul, found a tenant, a
man that could see to afTairs.n
And hc rented the premises safely and
dropped agricultural cares.
He drew up the rentable papers and copied
them or in his book,
And now that the business is settled, lett &C
into town for look.
''Why, Soomonl what is the matter, i:
there anything out of the way.
I've been thinkin' I'd tell you of somethin
and guess l will do it to-day:
You know attended the social-they didn't
give me an invite,
And my ieelin's were never so shattered as
they were on that very same night.
vi heard one proud feminine critter make
dfrent remarks bout my face,
And one of em said how my speeches didn't
fit in their material placa:
lnever did seep with grammar so / tried
to be perfectly cool,
But guess how if l dared say it, could
tod which of us was the fooln
And the farmer agreed with his helpmate,
he'd trial of n similar kind,
He said it had badly hurt him, and was
''preyin iist now on his mind"
And taking affairs altogether, combining the
grammar and face,
Why, he thought that "if Betsy was wilin'
they'd jist move back on the place"

BATES OF ADVERTISING.
THE SOBBING RAIN.

The night grows dark, and weird, and cold;
and thick drops patter on the pane
There comes a wailing from the sea; the
wind is weary of the rain.
The red Goals click beneath the flame; and
see, with slow and silent feet,
The hooded shadows cross the woods to
where the twilight waters beat
Now fanwise from the ruddy fire,a brillance
sweeps athwart the floor,
As, streaming down the lattices, the rain
somes sobbing to the door;
AS, streaming down the lattices,
The rain comes sobbing to the door.
Dull echoes round the easement fall, and
through the empty chambers go,
Like forms unseen whom we can hear on tip
toe stealing to and fro;
But fill your glasses to the brim, and,
through mist of smiles and tears
Our eyes shall tell how much we love to
toast the shades of other years!
And hither they will flock again, the ghosts
of things that are no more,
While, streaming down the lattices, the rain
comes sobbing to the door;
While, streaming down the lattices,
The rain comes sobbing to The door.
The tempest -trodden wastelands moan, the
trees are threshng at the blast,
And now they come, the pallid shapes OF
dreams that perished in the past;
And when we lift the windows up, smoth-
cred whisper round us strays,
Like some lone wandering voice from graves
that hold the wreck of by-gone days.
tell you that love the storm, for think we
not of thoughts of yore,
When streaming down the lattices, the rain
comes sobbing to the door;
When streaming down the lattices,
The rain comes sobbing to the door.
Well drink to those we sadly miss, and
sing some solemn songs we know,
Since they may chance to hear it ALL and
muse on friends they've left below.
Who knoNs-if souls in bliss can leave the
borders of their Eden home
But that some loving one may now about
the ancient threshold roam!
Oh, like an exile, he would hail a glimpse of
the familiar floor,
Though, streaming down the lattices, the
rain comes sobbing to the door.
Though, streaming down the lattices,
The rain comes sobbing to the door.

To prepare tripe, have the refuse
emptied out and the stomach rinsed off
in cold water; then with a sharp knife
cut it ur in pieces eight or twelve inches
square. Have a tub or large kettle with
six gallons Of water, in which quart of
unslacked lime has been well stirred; If
the lime has been alr-slacked it will re-
quire twice the quantity. Throw the
pieces of tripe into the solution and stir
occasionally and let it stand In this ten
OF twelve hours; then take piece of
board and rest upon the edge of the tub
or kettle, with one end in the water
With a sharp knife scrape off all the
slime and colored secretions, which will
come oil very easily. AS each piece is
scraped clean throw it into pail of clean
water and rinse it so that no impurities
remain on any part of it. Now put it into
large pan or jar, dissolve two table
spoonfuls of baking soda in three gallons
Of water and pour over it and let it
stand day or two; then boil in fresh
water until tender. Drain off and put
into a crock and pour sharp vinegar
with half teacup of salt over it; let it
stand a couple Of days and it will be
ready to use either fried, boiled or un-
cooked, and is very nice and palatable
Lye made of hardwood ashes may be
used in place of lime, and it will be just
as clean and good, but will not look
quite as nice as when cleaned with lime

mdIgestiblIity of the Rind.

That the rind, or ''skin," of all fruit
is more or less indigestible is a fact that
should not be forgotten. We say all
fruit, and the statement must be under
stood to include the pellicle of kernels
and nuts of all kinds. The edible part
of fluit is peculiarly delicate, and liza
bic to rapid decomposition if exposed to
The atmosphere; it is, therefore, a wise
provision of nature to place a strong and
impervious coating over it, as a protec-
ton against accident, and to prevent in
sect enemies from destroying the seed
within. The skin of plums is wonder
fully strong compared with its thick
ness, and resists the action of water and
many solvents in remarkable manner.
Ii not thoroughly masticated before
taken into the stomach, this skin is rare
ly, if ever, dissolved by the gastric
Juice. In some cases pieces of 1t adhere
to the coats of the stomach as wet paper
cings to bodies, causing more or less dis
turbance or Inconvenience Raisins and
dried currants are particularly trouble
some in this way, and if not chopped up
before cooking, should be thoroughly
chewed before swallowing. If a dried
currant passes into the stomach whole, it
is never digested at all.-PopUlar Science
