you do not throw it away"

"Just this. The next time you think
you have done with lemon, just dip il
in salt and rub your copper kettle OIL
stewpan with it. You will be surprised
to find what a brilliant surface you will
obtain if you rub the article instantly
with dry, soft cloth. You can polish
all brass work by the same means, every
stain disappearing as if by magic. A

HOW TO PREPARE ROAST nrEr.

Take about eight pounds of porter
house roast, have your butcher remove
the bone and nearly all the fat around the
tenderloin or fillet, and then tie it and
fasten with skewers into circular shape.
Lard it with the fatty part of bacon cut
in thin strips. Place in your roasting
pan with two onions cut in quarters, in
serting Glove in each quarter; add a
bay leaf.
Sprinkle your meat well on all sides
with salt and pepper, little thyme, and
dredge well with flour; add from two to
three cupfuls of stock, as it makes your
gravy richer than using water alone.
Place in we'll heated oven and baste
as often as possible to keep the meat
Juicy; when well Drowned on top turn
bottom side up and brown that also all
around.
l allow about two hours for this piece.
It will be nicely Drowned and still rare at
the heart. When cone place it on Il
heated platter and turn into a warming
oven. Now prepare the gravy. Remove
all the fat from the contents of the pan.
Mix in a cup a spoonful of -four, with
cold water, until smooth. Add to your
contents of pan. Place ON the stove.
Add little salt, and allow to boil until
smooth and quite little thick, stirring
constantly. 1t can then be strained or
not, as desired. Pour into gravy dish
and serve with the meat.-Nes0 York

A Japanese Writing Desk.

The Jap's writing desk, like the lady's
toilet set, seems to be made for very little
people. The Jap does not sit in chair
to write, but kneels before his cabinet
and squats on the floor. The cabinet
contains number of dainty little drawers,
in which are kept paper, ink, brushes
and pencils. On the top of the cabinet
is tray for the ink. One little vessel
contains water in which the stick of
India ink used in writing is moistened.
The stick thus moistened is rubbed upon
a pad from which it is taken up on a
finely pointed brush with which the
writing is done. Some of the paper
comes in rolls, and as the japanese writes
his characters in vertical rows, he unrolls
his paper aud keeps unrolling until he
has written all he wants to write, and,
then, if it is letter, he tears the paper
written upon from the roll, folds it up and
sends it away. Some paper used by
Japanese women is made in fancy styles
with figures or flowers painted or printed
on it in colors. Washington Star.

RECIPES.

Crumb Pudding-One quart of sweet
milk, one pint of bread crumbs, three
quarters of cup of sugar, yolks of four
eggs, butter size of an egg, flavor with
lemon; bake in a slow oven and when
done spread over layer of jelly, whip
the whites of the eggs to froth, and one
cup of powdered sugar; pour over the
jelly and bake light brown. Serve cold.
Cream of Tomato Soup-Cook one
quart can of tomatoes for half an hour
with minced onion and some sprigs of
parsley. Rub through a strainer fine
enough to keep back the seeds. Set the
saucepan over the FIRE with a tablespoon
full of butter; stir in heaping tablesoonful
of sifted flour, and when smooth add
slowly the liquid of tomatoes and a scant
half teaspoonful of baking soda. Measure
the soda with a very light hand. When
the foaming stops, add quart of boiling
milk. Season to taste with salt and pep
per, and pour at once into the tureen.
Serve thin wafer crackers with it.
Almond Sponge Cake-Take six eggs,
their weight in granulated sugar, half
their weight in flour, one lemon, juice and
grated rind, one cup of finely chopped al
monds. Beat the eggs separately. Add
the sugar TO the thoroughly whipped
yelks. Crate the lemon rind and strain
the lemon juice into this. Now put in
half the flour and half the whites, which
should be beaten to stiff froth, then the
balance of -four, into which the cup of
almonds should be stirred To prepare
the almonds take them from shells, put
into a dish and pour boiling water over
them till they can be slipped from the
skins. Let stand till cold and then cut
them very fine with sharp knife. Lastly
add the remainder of whites of eggs and
beat hard for few minutes. Have
ready two narrow long pans thoroughly
creased with sweet lard and heated. Bake
twenty-five minutes in moderate oven.

Beds in Japan.

A Japanese bed is the mating that
covers the floor. At bed time several
blankets or quilts are produced. One is
rolled out on the mating floor
and forms the mattress. The pillow, as
stated above, is either a small block of
wood or a wooden structure, like minia-
ture saw horse, intended to fit at the
nape of the neck. Some more luxurious
ones are rolls or little round cushions
made of some soft material. When the
Japanese or his visitor stretches himself
out on his blanket and lays his head on
this executioner's block for pillow he
draws over him one, two, or half dozen
blankets, according to his fancy and the
temperature of the air about him. In
cold weather, japanese houses are any
thing but comfortable, as no arrange
ments are made for heating them. The
Jap, however, proposes to be comforta-
BILE in his bed, and he provides himself
with bed warmer. This is grated box
or case, with a receptacle inside, in which
charcoal is burned. He puts this char
coal stove under his blanket, near his feet,
and wraps his limbs about it. The Jap
anese viii sleep this way all night.

THE BENEFITS OF COFFEE.

1t is asserted by the men of high pro-
fessional ability that when the system
needs stimulant nothing equals cup of
fresh coffee. Those who desire to rescue
the drunkard from his cups will find no
better substitute for spirits than strong,
new made coffee, without milk or sugar
Two ounces of coffee, or one-eighth of a
pound, to one pint of boiling water makes
first class beverage, but the water muss
be boiling, not merely hot. Bitterness
comes from boiling it too long. If coffee
required for breakfast be put in granitized
kettle over night and pint of cold water
poured over, it can be heated to Just the
boiling point and then set back to pre-
vent further ebullition, when it will be
found that, while the strength is ex-
tracted, its delicate aroma is preserved.
AS our country consumes nearly ten
pounds of coffee per capita, it is a pity
not to have it made in the best manner
1t is asserted by those who have tried it
that malaria and epidemics are avoided
by those who drink a cup of hot coffee
before venturing into the morning air.
Burned on hot Goals it is a disinfectant for
sick room. By some of our best ply
sicians it considered a specific in typhoid
fever.-Ihe Epicure.

A Lively Bear Hunt in Three States.

One of the most exciting bear hunts of
the year took place in the vicinity of
Charleston, w. Va, recently. Early in
the morning big black bear, weighing
about 300 pounds, was chased out of the
mountains above Hedgeville, in Berkeley
County, by some squirrel hunters. 1t
crossed the Potomac to Williamsport,
Maryland, where it created great deal
of excitement, and in an hour after its
arrival on Maryland soil twenty-five men
and twice that number or dogs were in
pursuit. Bruin escaped the hunters and
hounds, skirted around Hagerstown, and
was seen that night near Greencastle,
Penn, having travelled about twenty
miles during the day. Most of the origi-
nal pursuers dropped off, but Others took
up the chase from time to time, so that
there was always about the same number
of excited men at the animals heels. His
trail was lost over the Pennsylvania line,
but the animal doubled back, and was
again found near the North Mountain.
There he was surrounded, and being
brought to bay in field near Quincy,
was shot to death by volley from the
hunters. The animal showed fight before
being shot, and was an ugly customer to
handle,

PLANT A TREE.

He who plants a tree
Plants hope.
Rootlets up through fibres blindly grope,
Leaves unfold into horizons free.
So mans life must climb
From the clods Of time
Unto heavens sublime.
Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree,
What the glory Of thy boughs shall bei
He who plants tree
Plants joy;
Plants a comfort that will never cloy,
Every day fresh reality.
Beautiful and strong,
To whose shelter throng
Creatures blithe with song.
II thou couldst but know, thou happy tree,
OF the bliss that shall inhabit thee.
He who plants tree
He plants peace.
Under its green curtain jargons cease,
Leaf and zephyr murmur soothingly;
Shadows soft with sleep
Down tired eyelids creep,
Balm of slumber deep.
Never hast thou dreamed thou blessed tree,
OF the benediction thou shalt be.
He who plants tree
He plants YOUTH
Vigor won for centuries, in sooth;
Life of time, that hints eternity
Boughs their strength uprear,
New shoots every year
On old growths appear.
Thou shalt teach the ages, sturdy tree.
Youth of soul is Immortality.
He who plants tree
He plants love;
Tents Of GOODNESS spreading out above
Wayfarers he may not live to sec
Gifts that grow are best;
Hands that bless are blest;
Plant; Life does the resti ~
Heaven and earth help him who plants tree
And his work its own rewardShall be.
