THE FARM WORKSHOP.
Every Farmer VIII Agree with This Ad-

Every Farmer VIII Agree With This Ad-
vice.
Every farm should have it's workshop;
that is, some suitable place where re-
pairs can be made on short notice. The
farmer who does not have few good
tools and place to keep and use them,
must necessarily lose much valuable
time in busy season. Farm imple-
ments will give way and break with
the best of management, especially
those that have become worn; a nut will
loosen, a bolt break, piece of timber
split, and in the course of years work
innumerable little things will go wrong
that cause delay and loss of time. Very
often the time it takes going to and
from the regular repair shop amounts to
a great deal more than the few cents the
mechanic will charge for making the re-
pair. 1t is certain, says the Ohio Farm
er. that all farmers can not live close TO
town, and Of course the farther from
the shop the greater the delay and cost.
suppose it would be hard to find a
farmer that does not have scattered
about, somewhere on the premises, q
hammer, a saw, few augers, and per-
haps jack plane and a chisel or two,
but on how many farms can these tools
be found in a well-appointed room,
every one in place made to keep it,
and where it can always be found when
not in use?
How many farmers in addition to
these few simple tools have variety
of others, such as brace and bits, few
chisels of different sizes, squares, files,
punches and a stock and dies with tap?
Perhaps some one will say, if every
farmer was so provided it would de-
prive the local mechanic of his patron
age and means of a living, as he has to
depend largely on the repair work of
the farmer for his support Not neces-
sarily so. Every blacksmith will tell
you that there is little for him in those
small tinkering jobs that take but a few
minutes to complete, taking him from
some other job where his time is more
valuable.

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

After using, sponge should be
washed and then rinsed in clean water
and perfectly dried. A small piece of
sponge is particularly good to wash a
spot off of coat, vest, or other gar
ment.
Baked Hash: Take any kind of cold
meat and chop fine with little cold
ham or salt pork; mix in one or two eggs
and little butter, and season with salt
and pepper; with this mix bread or ruslx
crumbs, moisten very little, and bake
like pudding.
Soap should always be kept in a
receptacle with holes in it so that the
water may drain off and thus save the
piece from becoming soft. The small
} fragments should be p. sserved and either
nodded together or put into flannel
bag for use.
To Use Cold Veal: Take of cold
veal one part, two parts cold boiled POI
tato both cut in little pieces; put some
cream or milk in stew-pan with piece
of butter; salt and pepper and let it boil
up; then put in veal and potato and stew
a few minutes; drop in bits OF green
parsley. This is equally nice for cold
chicken.
Every housekeeper who is maid as
we'll as mistress, should have an easy
rocking chair in her kitchen, and a paper
holder on the wall, and when the few
leisure moments come, which occasion
ally creep into the busiest lives, pick up
a paper or magazine and sit down min
ute, while they catch breath of the
outside world.
"A strong argument against profuse
trimming of underwear, is the increased
outlay of strength needed to carefully
iron it. Many a woman stands over an
ironing table in summer until complete
ly exhausted because she was too proud
to see her children dressed any more
simply than Mrs. AS, and the latter kept
two servants, and she none. 1t is de-
plorably sad, but true, that many a

overwork and premature decay House

Hard Soap: Boil for four hours if
teen pounds of fat in twenty gallons of
strong lye. When it is thick put in half
a peck of coarse salt and boil two hours
more; then if it does not curdle put in
more salt until it does; then pour it into
a tub to cool; let it stand until the next
day. Take eighteen gallons Of fresh
weak lye; take the thick soap off the
tub and put in the lye; let it stand four
hours; then put in half peck of salt;
let stand two hours or more; then put it
into a tub to cool. Cut into pieces the
next day and let it dry.
Apple Meringue Pie: Peel tart, juicy
apples, and CRATE until you have pint
or more; into this beat the yelks of four
eggs, one tablespoonful of melted but
ter one-half cupful of sugar, little
nutmeg, one cupful of milk, mixed with
the yelks of eggs pour the whole in
dish lined with paste; bake half an hour
in quick oven. When it is a light
brown take it out and let it cool. Then
beat the whites of the eggs to stiff
froth with one cupful of powdered sugar,
add the juice of one lemon; cover the
apples with the whites of the eggs. Re-
turn to oven to brown lightly.-Albany

Liberal straw Bedding.

The farmer who raises wheat or oats
or rye largely, and has not stables fitted
with manure cutters and reservoirs,
will do well to use straw literally for
bedding. IL enough is used it will abb
sorb nearly all the liquid manure. The
LIQUID manure will hasten the decompo-
sition of the straw more rapidly, con-
verting it into valuable fertilizer.
without the straw or some similar sub
stance the decomposition of the liquid
manure is so rapid as to De destructive
and a part of its value is lost. Straw
is a very imperfect conductor of heat,
hence, when ii is used literally for
bedding, much less food is consumed in
the production of animal heat and the
animals are healthier and thriftier,-

A SCHOLARS ROMANCE.
Romantic Maria ge of william Grimm, the
Noted German Philologist.


William Grimm, the noted German
scholar, who died December is, 1859, had
a somewhat romantic marriage. As
those acquainted with his history know,
he and his brother Jacob were the clos
est of companions, both in their work
and amusements. Their learning and
industry was only surpassed by the
beautiful simplicity which characterized
their mutual Intercourse. They were
both we'll advanced in life when an old
aunt took it into her head to provide
them with proper partners to take care
of them after her death. The philolo-
gists at first objected strenuously, but
after some time they agreed to marry,
provided that one of them should be
spared, and the wife of the other should
be obliged to look after the finances and
linen of both. They had long discus
sion as to who should enter the matri-
monial state, and It is said that the pub
location of one of their volumes was de-
layed eight days in consequence of their
failure to agree. Finally Jacob, being
the elder, resolved to sacrifice himself
He knew nothing about making love,
and he appeared to be making no pro-
gress with the lovely young girl of %
picked out by the aunt, when William
generously offered to come to the rescue.
Jacob gratefully accepted the PROPOSE
ton, and the younger brother proceeded
to ingratiate himself with the lady in
question, who, it must be understood,
had no knowledge of the compact be-
tween the brothers. The result was
that before the end of a week he was her
slave and devoted admirer. Though
head over heels in love, William did not
dare to make clean breast of it to the
fair lady His conscience smote him,
and he felt that he had played the part
of traitor to his brother. The old aunt
found way out of the difficulty, how
ever, by acquainting Jacob with the
true state of affairs. Instead OF being
disappointed or mad with jealousy,
Jacob declared that it was the best news
he had ever received; and, TO celebrate
his escape from the meshes Of matri-
mony. he took vacation, and enjoyed
himself among the hills and dales Of the
Harz. So William was married, the
union proving happy one. After, just
as before, the wedding the brothers lived
in the same house, and were as insep-
arabic as ever, until death parted them

THREE GRAND HYMNS.
Religious Lyrics That stand in tho From
Ranks of Latin Church Poems.

Religious Lyrics That stand in tho Front
Ranks of Latin Church Poems.
Three hymns stand in the first rank
of Latin church poems, and perhaps Of
all religious lyrics: the Dies Ire of
Thomas a Celano the Stdbat Mater of
Giacopone da Todi, and the Jesu duJcss
Memorsa of st. Bernard. They have
certainly never been surpassed. The
first is the sublimest, the second the
tenderest, the third the sweetest hymn
of the Middle Ages. The Dies Ira is
Judgment hymn, the Std6dt Mater pas
sion HYMN, the Jesu duLeis Mem0rid
Jesus hymn. All date from the ages of
faith, so called, which built the cathe-
drals. witnessed the crusades, produced
the systems of scholastic philosophy
and theology, and, at later stage, pre-
pared. through the revival of letters,
the way for Reformation and the higher
modern civilization. The Middle Ages
have passed, and can never be resus-
citated, but what was pure and true and
good in any age is immortal and "a
thing of beauty is JOY forever"
The Dies ire takes its name from it's
first two words, DAY Of WRATH" which
are borrowed from the Bible; namely,
the description of the terrible day of
Judgment in Zephaniah lis, 10, accord
ing to the Latin Version OF st. jerome,
which was in universal use in Western
Christendom during the Middle Ages, as
it is still in the Roman Catholic church.
Those words strike the keynote, and
should not be changed in translation.
The poem is usually traced to Thomas
of Celano, in Italy, friend and biog-
rapher of st. Francis, of Assist, and
superior of the Fran ciscan converts of
Cologne, Mayence. Worms and Spires.
He died in his native country in the
middle of the thirteenth century, about
A. d. 1860 five years before the birth of
Dante). This pious monk wro5e the
hymn in his lonely cell for his own
edification, without dreaming that he
would thereby edify unborn millions in
languages and countries he never heard
of.-S. 5. Times.
A Word for Mothers.
Mothers, let us bear in mind that
what we desire our children to become
we must be before them. II we wish
them to grow up kind, gentle, affection
ate, upright and true, we must habitu-
ally exhibit the same qualities as regu-
lating principles in our conduct, be-
cause these qualities act as so many
stimulants to the respective faculties in
the child. If we can not restrain our
own passions, but at one time over
whelm the young with kindness and az
another surprise and confound them by
our caprice and deceit we may with as
much reason expect to gather grapes
from thistles or figs from thorns as to
develop moral purity and simplicity OF
character in them.-HoHsehold.
