To Remnve Stnins-

When your stupid guest spills coffee
on your finest damask, rub the stain be-
fore the cloth has been Numbered with
mixture made by dissolving the yolk of
an egg in little tepid water and adding
a few drops of wine. Wash the mixture
off with clean warm water and the stain
will vanish with it. Fruit stains may be
removed from linen by washing in very
hot water, with little soda If they are
very obstinate stretch the stained part
over a cup of boiling water until thor
oughly saturated with steam, and while
so holding it with one hand rub salts of
lemon into it with the other until the
stain disappears; then leave it soaking in
the hot water for time, which will usu,
ally permanently efface all traces of it.
In case this should fail there is left as
last resort dipping the cloth in a weak
solution of chloride of lime which has
been strained through muslin. The dan
ger in this lies not SO much in the
strength of the solution as in the length
of time the material is left in it. and af-

A Pink Dinner.

One of the leaders of New York society
lately gave one of the popular pink din
ners. The artistic effect was carried out
10 the smallest detail, from pink roses to
pink table service, pink napkins, pink
soup, pink sorbet, pink ices, pink can
dies and candelabra, etc., etc. When
the coffee was reached and had been
served iii delicate pink cups the ladies
present made haste to swallow theirs,
and then turned more or less nervous
glances toward the hostess in the ex-
pectation of a signal to retire to the
drawing room. But none came.
After enjoying the situations for few
moments, a glance from my lady at the
head of the table brought a waiter into
the room, carrying an exquisite pink
china tray, covered with a handsomely
embroidered pink silk tray cloth, upon
which lay little box in pink enamel,
containing a dozen or SO of tiny cigar
cites in pink paper, and no tobacco.
One was presented to each lady, and a
second waiter followed with a lighted
pink taper, at which each fair guest, in
the NEST matter of fact and nonchalant
way. lighted the tiny cigarette and began
smoking.
The gentlemen present, with the per-
feet self control so indicative of high
breeding, did not draw a muscle, ex-
change a glance or betray in the slight
est manner any surprise at this little in
novation. The ladies remained at the
table, and the guests returned to the

How to Grow Cabbage.

To have cabbage early, tender and de-
licious, and to have it productive. it must
be well fed. The secret of success that
attends its cultivation by the market gar
deners is the vast quantity of manure
used. Where manure cannot be cheaply
obtained cabbage should be grown on
sod ground, which, for early market
purposes, should be plowed not later than
the LIST of October. There is no fertilizer
cheaper or more effective for cabbage or
other crop than decaying sod. For late
cabbage pillow about the middle of May,
or when grass is in the most active state
of growth; it is then as etfectually killed
as though plowed in autumn. Manure
should be put on and plowed in about the
middle of July, or just before the setting
of the plants As soon as the plants are
established set the cultivator at work in
the field, the Doe in the garden; not only
should they be set ut work, but they must
be kept at work-persistent work in cul-
tivation is the price of cabbage The
cultivator will not long do in the field;
the small pillow must follow, as no other
implement pulverizes the soil as well
In the garden the fork must follow the

A yVomau's Shooting.

Mrs. William Ferry claims the cham
pionship as wildcat killer. The wild
cats about Forkston, Pa, seem to have
taken a special fancy for chickens. Mrs.
Ferry is a great breeder of chickens, and
she Keeps a W atchful eye on her flock.
One cay, while her husband and brother

Mrs. Ferry knew there was a reason for

not twenty feet away was another.
Mrs. Ferry wasn't born in the woods to
be scared at a wildcat, and she knows

got a Couble barreled gun that her hus-
band had discarded for a new one and
loaded both barrels with buckshOt. Re

Is the Bee Friend of the Seed Grower?
DR.. Fisher expresses a doubt in Garden
and Forest whether the bee is at best the
enemy or the friend of the seed grower,
as he is largely both, for without his
work i'll carrying pollen the fruits of
dioeciOus plants would not be fortified,
and without it, also, his mischief in
mixing new varieties with inferior sorts
would not be accomplished 1t is true
that he will give a dose of cucumber
flavor to a crop of cantaloupes, if the
two sorts of Cucurbit;ceoe happen to be
planted near neighbors; but, then, he
offsets his bad work by producing new
varieties which are sometimes of very
great value. This work may be better
and more wisely done by the horticul-
tural philosopher, who acts dcsignedly
by combining size and hardness on the
one side with delicacy and productive
ness on the other. This form of lottery
has q few grand prizes, but far greater
number OF small ones and blanks; the
uncertainty of the drawing adds to the
interest of the inveotIlCnt. The farmer

Grass ought not to be pastured in very
early spring before the ground settles
and the sod becomes firm. BY this early
pasturing the tops are kept closely cut
off, the roots are much injured, from
which the grass does not recover for the
entire season. To gain and thrive a
grass needs some green leaves. When
the pasture is thin and unproductive
harrow the surface and SOW on other
kinds of grasses and clovers. with top
dressing of some fertilizer. This serves,
to some extent, as a rotation of crops for
the soil. When the cattle are fed oil
meal or other rich food, most of it goes
to fertilize the land. Baron j. B. Lawes
advises against feeding grass the first
year. He opposes moving it the second
year, having found that this practice
destroys the clovers and lesser grasses
by encouraging the stronger growing
spires. He avoids moving for several
years, feeding with cattle in preference
to sheep. He sows variety of grasses.
leaving the best to hold their own The
falling off of pasture may be avoided
by liberal feeding on the ground of
cattle eating cotton meal cake.

Do you ask, "Where can do this and

Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and

terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,

done with absolute safety.

other Out-Of-the-state security. We
might perhaps pay our dtpOSltOrs one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by mourning a little addition
al risk, if no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a ''long-felt
want" in Vermont for a savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
situations. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and
orphans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neigh
bors who prefer to occupy western
fields we offer to the depositing public
the Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. as an institution organized to
meet the demand for a strictly home in
vestment Savings Bank That such a
demand exists, and that the people are
ready to bestow their confidence and
encouragement upon such an institu-
ton, is evidenced by the fact that the
a gregate of the small deposits alone in
this Bank-not counting any in excess
of S1000-were at the end of the first six
months of its business, $57, 1877. 90, a
record without parallel, we believe, in
the history Of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over per cent. 1t would
not, knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and 81 cnrities will
command money at 6 per cent. The
Bank pays the State a tax of six tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
taxes to the depOsitor. 1t must then
be evident that per cent. per annum is
all that the Bank Can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi annually if not
withdrawn.
