HINTS to HoESekeeper>.

If there is any suspicion of carpet
bugs, do not have a carpet relald until
you have wet the cracks of the floor for
| distance of a foot or more from the
sides OF the room with the solution of
corrosive sublimate, and the edges of
the carpets with the benzlne and car
bollc acid.
To SECURE thorough sleep insulate
each bed with glass. An Englishman
who insulated his beastead by placing
underneath each post broken Oft bot
tie says that he had not been free from
rheumatism or govt for fifteen Years,
and that he began to improve immc-
diately afterthe application of the insul
ators.
AFTER removing your shoes put them
i'll correct position by pulling up the
uppcrs and tapping the flap over and
and fastening one or two buttons. Then
pinch the instep down to the toe, bring
ing the fullness up instead of allowing
it to sag down into the slovenly breadth
of haif-worn footgear. A boot that IS
kicked off and left to lie where it falls,
or is thrown into the closet, will soon
lose shape and gloss.
To AVOID the odor which too often
fills the house when cabbage or other
green vegetables are boiling, follow
t.ese simple dire ctions: Put your cab
baee in net, and when you have boiled
it five minutes in the first pot OF water,
lift II ont, drain for few seconds. and
place carefully III a second pot, which
YOU must have full Of fast boiling water
on the stove. Empty the first water
away, and boil your cabbage till tender
in the second.

4 We eran was talking the other day
about his first experience with re
peating rifle
Il was ont on the picket line" he
tells us, saad a lot of Yankees kept
shooting at It's from the shelter of pine
thicket Finally we made break for
the thicket, and then we had it.
Livery fellow would pick out his man,
and then load and shoot, taking adj
vast ge of the shelter.
My Yankee got the first shot, and
missed me. IS | was only seventy
five or one hurd2ed yards away
thought | would reach him before he
could load again, so | made dash for
him. He stepped out from his tree
and aimed. bit | thought he was Just
trying to bluff, so | didn't stop till he
pulled down on me.
NV Lord | thought, that's the
first rifle / ever saw with two barrels J
| just halted, but thought surely his
gun must be empty now, SO | started
for him again Well, sir, he Just stood
there and bang, bang. bang bang
like milking COW. Jumped for a tree
mighty quick, / tell YOU | heard him
just hollering behind the tree. 1t
tickled him nightly. | didn't know
what to make OF it. | put my cap out
from behind the tree and he banged
banged down on it. 1t scared me. |
didn't know how long the thing would
hold out Presently, though, | saw
him bending over. His head was pro-
tected, but his back was showing, and
! took good aim. The ball ploughed
through the tieshy part of the thigh,
and as he hollered | made for him. He
had dropped his gun and started to
run. but he stopped and went back
with me
Il carried that old gun of his back
and ii was a great curiosity to our
boys. Ihev never did believe that it
could shoot sixteen times, and |
couldn't prove it because he had only
one load LETT, and we couldn't get any
ammunition to fit the gun. So we
broke up the gun to keep the Yankees

The symptoms of catarrh are,

times profuse, watery, and acrld, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous
purulent, bloody, putrid and often

THE ORCHARD.
ruit Culture,

Fruit culture, like farming. in this
country, has been comparatively easy.
The early settlers introduced fruits. and
the apple, the pear, the plum. the
cherry and the peach, together with
small fruits, were raised more or less
plentifullv in colonial times. As new
lands were entered upon, and local
markets developed new orchards and
fruit gardens were planted. But sue
cessively each branch of the industry
when extended has found new and
numerous enemies IN insects and fungi;
and especially is this true since railroad
facilities have been increased and quick
transportation and ready markets have
favored the planting of large areas
The extension of fruit grounds and the
increase of fruit enemies have pro-
cseded para pHssU, good breadin g
grounds and plentiful supply Of nutrl-
ment favorlng the parasitic herdes.

Had His Revenge.

Not long ago, in Helena, Mont, there
was a poor chap at work on Il mining
claim. He had little money. and after
it went the tradcsmcu Of the locality
refused to trust him. He had wretch
ed time after that. He struck rich ore,
however, and sold out for 500, 900 and a
quarter interest in the company.
Later still he sold that quarter inter
est for 100000. Before he left that
place he invited to the best dinner, al
the best hotel, all the men who had
magnificent. When all were assembled
he arose from his place at the head of
the table, and rcmarking, Its all on

the meal, eating and drinking all that
was brought to them.

Her, DueI With Tho D,rtor

rom the " ltttcF rag btaIt.
An extraordinary duel is reported to
have taken place in Vienna. \ few
days ago a girl, aged 10, challenged a
young doctor, who had offended one of
her friends and refused to apologize.
He was challenged in the usual way by
two seconds, a student and an officer of
reserves, and when he ridiculcd the
idea the girl threatened to horscwhip
him publicly. The challenge was then
accepted and a meeting, with seconds
and doctors, took place in hired room
Ill Vienna suburb. All the rules for Il
duel with swords were strictly observed
The doctor first acted on the defensive,
but was soon To- fight in earnest, and
left oft after the second round with Il
wound in the left side, which was de-
clared not to be dangerous. The girl Il
troatian, educated in South America, is
said by the seconds to be the best fcnc-
or they ever saw. After wounding her
adversary she left the place without
casting another look al him.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Canning Fruit,

Canning is IN Improvement upon the
old-fashioned method of preserving
pound for pound in sugar. 1t retains
more of the fresh and natural flavor, is
far less trouble to prepare, and more
economical. All fruits may lie canned
with or without sugar, as the sugar
takes no part whatever in the preserva-
ton. For hayoring ice creams and
water-lces 1t is desirable to can the
fruits without sugar Choose only per-
fectiy sound and fresh fruits. 1t is
false economy to purchase fruits on the
verge of decay, even at very reduced
rates, as thew quickly ferment after can
ming, and you not only lose fruit. sugar
and labor, but very often the jars as
we'll.
All large fruits, after pairing, should
be imme diately thrown into cold water
to prevent dlscoloratlon; then boiled in
clear water until tender. then again in
the syrup, as directed in the recipes fol-
lowing:
Small fruits retain their shape more
perfectly If sugared one or two hours
before cooking. A quarter-teaspoon
of alum added to each pound of sugar
hardens the fruit, and gives it brill
fancy.
Large m outhed glass isrs, with pro-
he used. They should be thoroughly
heated before filling, filled quickly
through wide mouth ed funnel to over
flowing. A silver spoon handle should
be passed around the inside of the Jar
to break any air bubbles that may be
there, and the tops screwed on without
delay. Stand the jars while filling on u
folded towel to prevent breakage. Alter
sealing, stand the jars in a warm part of
the kitchen over night. In the morn
the covers should again be frightened, as
the glass Will contract after cooling, and
put them away in cool, not cold, dry,
dark closets. In week examine each
jar carefully without shaking or disturb
ing more than necessary If you find
the lids slightly indented, the contents
free from air bubbles and the liquid
settled, you may rest assured they will
keep. If you lind the opposites, open
the jars imme diately, to prevent burst
ing. This fruit may be recooked and
used at once, but it is eyersatisfactorv
if again canned. Use only the best
graduated sugar. Fruit canned with
sugar of an inferior quality is never
clear, and is also more liable to fer
ment.
The surplus juice that exudes from
small fruits, such as strawberries, rasp-
berries and plums, may be strained and
boiled for jelly.
\ porce lined kettle, rather broad
than deep, is best. Copper or brass
must be thoroughly cleansed with salt
and vinegar, and even then the articles
are more or less imbued with verdigris
that is produced III them by the action
of the acids.
Small oil stoves are most convenient
for canning, preserving or lelly-maklng,
the h,,tle being immediately over an
even and intense heat, the contents boil
quickly, thus retaining color and flavor.
If the directions are carefully fol-
lowed, and there is not too large
quantity cooked or scalded at one time
to prevent careful management of each
jar, not one can in a hundred will be

been able to see sound apples, whether
the orchards have borne abundantly or
sparsely. The great enemy of this fruit
has been the Goblin moth, and for years
it baffied the ingenuity and persever-
ance of orchardists for its destruction;
now We have learned how to deal with
it. and year after year sees the practice
extending of spraying the trees with
paris green when the fruit is just
formed. And this practice must be
continued by all who expect to raise
sound apples. Some, perhaps many,
will neglect to make use of this means,
and as result will have only wormy
fruit, which will command a low price
In market. Those who will not take the
necessary pains to secure sound fruit
will eventually be driven out of the
business.-Ticks Magaeine for Julg.

THE DAIRY.
Fraudulent Cheese.

In communication published in the
Brceders Gd@ette Prof. w. A. Henry, of
the Wisconsin Experiment Station,
depicts some of the evilresults of fraud
ulent cheese manufacturing III this
country: He says:
If the history of fraudulent cheeso
manufacture could be written up it
would be most interesting but a sad
commentary on the weakness of human
nature, and a fine illustration of the
mate tendency of the average man to
seek immediate gain at any hazard.
Scores OF processes have been devised
and patents secured, not one OF them
for giving mankind n better food pro-
duct, but all for the single purpose OF
paiming off on the innocent purchaser
an article of less value than its appear
ance indicates. Years ago we had Will
lard and Arnold as great lights in this
branch of the dairy business. Since
their demise no equal successors have
appeared on the scene to push forward
their work, but in their stead came
scores of investigators and students of
fraud cheese making; every one of them
used his best powers to discover some
secret process or to secure a patent for
making shoddy goods. These men are
about as useful to the community as
counterfeiters of standard currency.
L would not be understood as assert
ing that fraudulent cheese is the rule III
any of the States named | am certain
that the largest part of that made i'll
Wisconsin is from milk out of which no
fat has been removed at the factory, but
the amount OF counterfeit goods III this
country is enough to affect seriously the
whole cheese market. If one bill in ten
in a given community is counterfeit and
tie fact becomes known everybody is
suspicious, and justly too, of every bill
offered him. For time We were build
ing up very satisfactory cheese trade
with England. Its decadence dates
from the time our skim cheese business
began to assume large proportions. Far
worse than the loss of this foreign trade
is the Generalization Of the home

THE DRUMMER.
BY JOHN DE WITT.

With samples none withstand,
He strikes winning gait,
He always is on hand,
Unless the train is late.
He'll tell the latest tale,
He'll show the newest craze,
He'll never miss a sale,
In hopes to get a raise.
He travels just for fun,
The scenery but to view,
Sometimes they get gun
To get rid of few.
He's never known to scare;
Though fired from out a store,
There's nothing he won't dare
To sell the buyer more.
He's genial, open, free,
Warm hearted. kind, and true,
just touch that heart and see
How good he'll be TO you.
He loves his happy home,
His wife and children dear,
Though oft compelled to roam
Away for half a year.
The life drummer leads
l. not 50 full Of fun,
The trade he So much needs
Has got to all he won.
He's out in heat or cold
Bears every hardship, too;
Before his time he's old,
Because he, i always new.
The only place hear
Where "drammers" don't exist
Is that where we would steer
When stricken from Life's list.
One Of the chosen race"
Heard such a thing WAS true;
He put on long face,
Asked questions not a few.
Then sighed as all agreed
That tdrummers did not dare,
No matter what their creed,
70 seek for entrance there.
aEell all got to say,
Said he, III accents low,
'aYust let me deere won day
Den let me live below"

Dairy Notes

KEEP milking quarters clean and free
from strong odors. Milk is a very ready
absorbent and will take on the taste and
smell of the barnyard by remaining
few minutes in foul stable.
CHEESE MAKING is one of the growing
Industries of Ontario. The government
has encouraged it by aiding the dairy
associations by printing their reports
and 10y instruction given ut the Model
Farm and at farmers Institutes. The
cheese of that province is now taking
high rank in the English market.

THE FARM.
Farmers and Food AduIteration.

Says the Farm and Fireside: "Nio-
lent opposition to legislation against
aduiteratlon of food is, of course, to be
expected from those with whose
nefarious business it interferes. But in
this connection 1t Is Il surprise to see
the st and taken by some of the Farm
ers Alliance men of the South in ref
ence to the Conger compound lard bill,
on the ground that it will destroy the
cotton-seed oil industry in the interests
of swine-raisers. As before shown, the
revenue tax imposed by this bill will
fall heavier on lard than on cotton seed
oil, and it can not hurt a legitimate in
dust1y. Hence We have the spectacle of
farmers coming up to the support of the
cotton seed oil trust and the Chicago
combine that turns out product known
as compound lard. Either these farmers
are being made the tools of the trusts
or they are boldly dvocating the adul-
teration or sophistication of food. If
the latter is the case, what possible
ground can they have for objection to
the adulteration of numerous articles
they must purchase? If cotton seed oil
is a good substitute for lard, let it be
sold under its own name and on its own
merits. Its own merits will, III time,
give 1t its proper place.
