THE OLD PLAID SHAWL.
By FRANK A. FAnT.

Not far from ouId Kinvara, in the merry month
of Eay,
When birds were singing cheerily there came
As if from out the sky above an angel CHANGED
to fall,
A little Irish Calm in an ould plaid shawl
Icourteously saluted her--God save you, miss, /"
says 1
sGod save You kindly, SIR sail she, and shyly
passed me by;
Of went my heart along with her. a captive in
her Uhrall,
Imprisoned in tho corner of her ould plaid
shawl.
I've heard of highway robbers that with pistols
and with knives
Ma, trembling travellers yield them up their
money or their lives
But think of me that handed out my heart and
head, and all
To simple little Calm in an ould plaid shawl
OH some men sigh for riches, and some men
live for fame
And some on history's pages hope to win q
glorious name;
NY aims not ambitious, and my wishes are
but small
You might wrap them all together In en- ould
plaid shawl.
III seek her all through Galway, and III seek
her all through Clare,
I'll search fo- tale or tidings Of my traveller
For peace of mind III never find until my own
III call
That little Irish Calm in her ould plaid
shawl

TEE STOCK RANCH
Comfort for Cattle.

Comfort for cattle means more than
hay and feed. 1t means good stall, a
warm, dry bed, light, plenty Of fresh air,
and a certain amount of freedom in the
stall, something different from the rigid
stanchion. Thus writes John Gould in
the Philadelphia Weekly Press. Two
year ago, when he built his new COW
barn, he made q study Of all these mat
tiers, and after two winters experience
he would not change feature Of the
plan. The basement plan was discarded,
and the barn is all of wood, save low
stone foundation wall, that rises one foot
above thf ground. The walls are buiit
double, with a six-inch air space.
Matched boards were used on the inside
as well as the outside, and tarred paper
was put upon the studding besides.

THE POULTRY-YARD.
Money in Poultry.

The man who sells eggs when prices
are high, says the Homestead, and sets
them when prices are low, is generally
the man who makes the money. The
man that raises pure bred stock, raises
broilers and roasters from the cullS, and
sells eggs for Matching, is the man that
has the profit. 1t is impossible to make
much money from one branch alone.
Broilers, eggs and pure-breds are good
adjuncts to each other, but should never
be run in single branch alone. The
man that personally oversees, or does
the work, is the man who makes money.
Hired men are apt to be careless, and are
and expense.

TUE KITCHEN.
Tested Recipes.
ISOLATION

New POTATOEs.-TheSe should be
thrown into very hot water, with little
salt, and boiled quickly-from fifteen to
twenty minutes.
ROAST HIND QUARTER OF LAND
Have ready clear, brisk fire, put down
the joint at a little distance to keep the
fat from scOrching and keep it well
basted all the time it is cooking. Allow
one hour and half for a small quarter,
two hours for a large one. Serve with
mint sauce.
MINT SAUCE.-Wash.t the mint, which
should be young and quite fresh, strip
the leaves from the stalks, chop the
former very finely; there should be four
tablespoonfuls when chopped. Put into
a dish, and add two dessertspoonfuls of
white sugar and quarter of a pint Of
vinegar. This sauce is better for being
made two or three hours before wanted
for table.
BOILED AsPARAGUs.-Scrape the white
part of the stems, beginning from the
heads, and throw into cold water, then
tie in bundles of about twenty each,
keeping the heads all one way, and cut
the stalks evenly: keep boiling quickly
until tender, with the saucepan uncoy-
cred. When done. dish it on toast, leav-
ing the white ends outside and the points
in the middle. Serve with melted butter.

Mix with these three ounces of butter,
which should be melted; beat up four
eggs, CRATE the rind, and strain the

which has been rubbed with onion, and
serve with a simple French dressing.
Take oil, pepper, and salt, and add to
this vinegar. Have a large proportion
of oil, and by adding the vinegar, too
much can not be used; for, from the
specific gravity Of the vinegar compared
with oil, what is more than useful will
fall 10 the bottom of the bowl. The salt

Eat Before Going to Bed.

Most students and women who are
troubled with inSomania are dyspetic,
and they should therefore eat before 60
ing to bed, having put aside work en-
tirely at least an hour before. If they
are not hungry they should simply be
instructed to eat, and if they are hungry
they should eat whatever they want. A
glass of milk and a biscuit is sometimes
all that can be taken at first, or mashed
potato buttered. If possible, the night
meal should be taken in another room
than the sleeping apartment, and for
men in the city it will be found advan-
tageOuS to go out to a restaurant. Be
fore eating, however, a bath should be
taken, preferably cold or cool, which
should be given with a sponge or stiff
brush, and the body thoroughly rubbed
off with a coarse towel afterward. The
bath need not be more than five minutes
in duration. Further than this, the
patient should go to bed at the same
hour every morning. There is a popular
superstition, that grown people should
not eat Immediately before going to
sleep; that it will give them indigestion
or both. The writer can not
see why adults should be so very different
in this respect from babies. The average
person should be in bed seven or eight
hours, which is time enough for the di-
gestion of almost anything edible. In
our American life, he thinks, the digeS-
tion carried on through sleep probably
has the better chance for thOroughness.-

CO0se-POts.

1t seems certainly true Of our land
'-that Of the making of eoffee-pots there is
no end" Probably there is no country,
England possibly claiming the honor Of
an exception, where such Enthusiastically
bad coffee is the rule. Yet there Is no
country where yearly so many patents
are granted for coffee-pots. All the
cofee-pots patented in the last de-
cade depend for their success, with
few exceptions, on the recognition
Of the fact that there is but one way to
make perfect coffee-tbat is by percola-
ton, method which has been used in
French kitchens since coffee was In
trOduced. There is not the slightest
complex mechanism needed for dripping
coffee. ANY tin cup holding pint, with
a perforated bottom, which can be set
down in a porcelain or faience coffee pot
is all that is needed. The coffee. pow
dered fine, should be laid in bag or
square of cheese cloth, fitted into the
cup. Fresh boiling water is now poured
slowly on and allowed to drip through.
Tin or any other metal Is unfit for
coffee pot. Even the beautiful silver
catetiere, decorated in niello work, is .
delusion and snare. Porcelain or pottery
is the only material that can be kept
clean, as the acid Of coffee readily unites
with any metal and forms coating on
its sides that is unwhOlesome and I'M
clean. A pretty blue and white Dwarf
coffee-pot, which differs in shape from
teapot in being tall and slender, will not
cost half what is charged for patent tin
ones. The cup with perforated bottom
is sold at 16 cents in the heaviest quail
ity of tin, so it is small item. Very
pretty coffee-pots are made of Carlsbad
ware, decorated with shields and gull
loches in co.Or on a creamy ground.
The Berlin and Dresden factories make
the most beautiful coffee-pOts from
models of a hundred years ago; these are
imported into this country as chocolate
pots, porcelain dealers not daring to risk
the absurdity Of offering such dainty
cOffee-potS to a nation that boilS its
coffee. The double section in French
''biggin" may also be found in brown
StOneware and in blue and white ware in
hOuse-furnishing stores in the city
