FARM AND FIREsIpE,

When fruit 10 scarce, see that q
good supply Of rhubarb is canned for
winter use.
Pears with little flavor of their
own are greatly improved by the ad-
dltlon OF preserved lemon peel or pre-
served ginger.
When you buy new broom, select
. dozen of the smoothest and largest
spllnts, pull them out, and lay them
away to use In testing cake when it 10
baked.-Demorest.
1T is a waste of time to attempt to
preserve eggs unless they are known
TO be strictly fresh. An egg that is
over few days old will not keep if
packed in warm weather.
Always keep one horse for the
women to drive. says the New England
Farmer. and get them to do as many
errands as possible - good for the
errands and good for the women.
"A little soda stirred in tomatoes
that have q sharp or acid taste will
cause the removal of it. Also stirred
IN ple-plant, gooseberries, etc., while
cooking, less sugar will be required to
sweeten.
The amount of fodder which may
oe grown on an acre depends chiefly on
the soil. Common or good growing
Northern corn. planted thicker than
large Southern, will yield from fifteen
to twenty tons of green stalks to the
acre on rich land. Large corn will
yield rather more in stock but lose in
grain.-Country Gentleman.
The way to prevent soft shell eggs
Is to feed food rich in lime. The grains
are deficient in that mineral. If you
feed too much grain you give too much
starch, and soon the hens will be over
lat They can not lay unless provided
with material for eggs. Fat is useless
on laying hen. Her business is to
convert the proper materials-meat,
milk and clovor-into eggs.
The farmer who does not know the
taste OF cream, has got to learn that it
Is far more to he rrised than honey in
the honey comb. So don't PIT III the
cream in the churn, to be made into
butter to be packed away, to be sold
next winter when it has, in all proba-
bility, become 'just little strong;''
but enjoy the delicious flavor of it now
while it is in its prime. New

Raspberry Blanc Mango: Stew
fresh raspberries, strain off the juice,
and sweeten to taste. When it boils
stir in corn-starch, wet with cold
water in the proportion of two heaping
tablespoonful to one pint of juice; stir
until cooked, and pour into wet
mold. Serve with sugar and cream.
A little currant juice combined with
the raspberry is fine, and either straw
berries or cherries may be used in the
same way.-Christian Union.
Cherry Jelly: Common wild bird
cherries make nice and handsome
jelly: Pick the cherries, put in an
earthen dish, add a spoonful or two
water and steam them half an hour;
mash them we'll with a wooden spoon,

thousands Of cures for many years past,

A HOTEL CLERKS TAIN.
He Wears Diamonds Because 1t Gives
Look Of Prosperity.

He Wears Diamonds Because 1t Gives q
Look of Prosperity.
''That's all right about joking the
hotel clerks about their big diamonds,'
said the hotel clerk as he reached over
the desk as though he intended to grab
the writer. Il honestly think that
when newspaper men have to write q
four or five line joke to fill in, thew
tackle the hotel man and his diamonds.
Well, if there is class of people in all
this world who ought to wear dia,.
monds, they are the hotel clerks. They
are an all suffering class as sure as you
live. Why. if they were treated right
they would be presented by admiring
friends with diamonds and watches
galore, day in and day out through the
entire year.
''Now, let me give you pointer on
how the clerks all seem TO hitch on to
diamonds. The hotel clerk takes to the
glittering stones like duck takes to
water. Now, the proprietor of the
hotel wants the man who stands be-
hind the desk to be as neat as pin. 1t
gives the house a standing. You can
not think of hotel clerk in Boston
who is not a well-dressed man. They
must dress we'll, and if they did not the
trade would begin to fall off. Then, to
make things stronger, the clerk must
of necessity wear diamonds. This is to
give the house an air of prosperity
which it would not otherwise have,
perhaps. The proprietors want their
men to wear precious stones. 1t gives
the guests a chance to say, Well, these
fellows are pretty we'll paid, and the
house must be doing a pretty good bust
ness wnen they all wear 'em.' So you
can see why it is that the moment a
man gets position as hotel clerk he
at once goes hustling and buys dia-
mond. It's part of the business.
1T is wonder to me-" continued
the clerk thoughtfully, '.that moro
hotel clerks do not die from nervous
prostration. Why. there are days that
l stand behind here that really don's
know what my name is. 1 feel conf
pletely turned around. It is no easy
'matter to have five hundred guests in
a room and answer questions to about
fifteen at a time. Then the questions
which are asked. They are simply
paralyzing. l really and honestly
think that just the moment a man with
the average amount of common sense
stands in front of a hotel clerk he for
gets all that he ever knew. There was
a fellow hers a moment since who
asked me if the gentleman in 46 was
in. l answered that he was not. When
will he come imp he inquired, and half
a dozen very silly questions followed.
Il know it's an old minstrel gag, but
one granger asked me yesterday what
time the four O'Clock train left for Wor-
cester. We are expected to know
every thing, and if we do not know it
all majority of the guests kick and
say that we are stupid. From the mo.
ment clerk goes ON duty until he
leaves his desk, life is burden. He
does not have a single moments hap
piness.''

clerks shirt front, and dangerous
glitter was in his eye, as an up-country
