FIRESIEE FRAGMENTS.

-Broiled meats should never be taken
up on cold platter, and they should
not be sailed until after they are brolled.
Remember that without physical
health, mental attainment is worthless;
let the children lead, free, happy lives,
which will strengthen both mind and
body.

Very many "made dishes" are even
more palatable than they were when
first cooked. This applies equally to
meat and vegetables; consequently
there is rarely any necessity for cooking

When you buy wooden pals, the
outside is painted and the inside is
plain. Coat the inside thick with boiled
oil and put in the sun until the oil dries
into the wood and your pail will last
twice as long and never get sour or
smell badly.-Ladies' Home Journal.
When salt pork is wanted for break
fast, cut it in slices and soak it over
night in equal parts of water and either
sweet or sour milk; in the morning rinse
till the water is clear before frying.
This method will make it as palatable
as salt pork is capable of being made.
The drumstick of turkey is greatly
improved by removing the tendons,
which always become hard and bony in
baking. Cut carefully through the skin
below the leg joint, but do not cut the
tendons; bend the leg at the cut by
pressing it on the edge of the table and
break off the bone. Then pull out the
tendons one at a time with the fingers.

Drowned Sweet Potatoes: Boil the
potatoes until just done, carefully re-
move the skins, and cut the potatoes in
halves. Melt tablespoonful of butter
in a large frying pan, put the potatoes
into it, dust them thickly with brown
sugar, and brown them on top of the
stove, watching them carefully that
they do not burn. The potatoes should
be turned two or three times, and addi-
tional sugar added if necessary

Parsley Butter: Beat three table
spoonfuls of butter to a cream and then
add one tablespoonful of lemon juice,
one of chopped parsley, half a teaspoon
full of salt, and one-eighth of a teaspoon
full of pepper, Beat these ingredients
into the butter, and it will be ready for
use. 1t is nice to spread on fried OF
broiled fish, and also over potato balls.

half tablespoonful of lemon juice will
be enough. Boston Herald.

The Walk of the Horse.

Reference is frequently made to the
walking gait of horses, and the farmer
is advised when buying horse to test
tho speed of the animal in walking.
That is all right, but test the speed as
much as you like and the fast walker
will not be found. In all our expert
erce and observation we have never
stNn but one horse that was fast
walker. 1t is true that there is differ
etce in horses in the matter of walking,
but thu walking gait of the fastest is
nos what would be called fast. The
Truth is that there is not the slightest
care taken to produce fast walkers
Neither in selection of breeders or the
trimming of colts is fast walking made a
special purpose, and it will require both
to impro ye the walking gait of our
horses. We ought to remember, how
ever, that the horse that will walk fifty
Ner cent. faster than another horse is
ShO mSst valuable animal.

Young men, this is the first question
your employers ask themselves when
business becomes slack, and when it is
thought necessary to economic in the
matter of salaries. "Who can best be
spared?" The barnacles, the shirks, the
makeshifts, somebody's proteges, some
body's nephews, and especially some
body's good-for-nothing. Young men,
please remember that these are not the
ones who are called for when responsible
positions are to be filed. Would you
like to gage your own future for po-
sition of prominence? Would you like
to know the probabilities of your getting
such a position? Inquire within! What
are you doing to make yourself valuable
in the position you now occupy? If you
are doing with your might what your
hands find to do, the chances are ten to
one that you soon become so valuable
in that position that you can not be
spared from it; and then, singular to re-
late, will be the very time when you
will be sought out for promotion for a
better place Medical Record.

The Importance of Good Seed.

So much has been written upon tits
subject that the Western Rural hesi-
tates to say word more upon it; yet
when we say that immense losses occur
every year from the use of poor seed,
there will not be reader who will not
spond: THAT is So" Well, what is
the cause of poor seed? These are
among the causes: There is not suf-
ficient observance of the law that like
produces like. There is too much care
lessness in making a selection. Seed
should be taken from perfect specimens.
We observe that one writer in an East
ern paper aflirms that the bean crop
yields more lightly because seed is taken
from plants that grow few pods and not
many beans III pou. That is possible.
Then-and it is here that our interest
centers at this time Of year-much seed

comes never plant seed tt at you have

seed in warm place in boxes in the
spring to test its vitality that there ia
no excuse for planting seed that Lacks

can be raised or lowered to fit the bevel
of the tool to be ground, and also to
allow of it's being moved sidewise on

only to guide it and give the necessary
pressure by taking hold of both handles.
The stone should have water-box
placed under it and fastened to leg of
the frame, coming high enough to allow
the stone to rest in the water when in
use. The box should have plug near
the bottom to let the water off when not
in use, as it Injuries the stone for one

wear away unevenly, and to freeze up in
winter,

THE QUEENS YACHT.
The Floating Palace in Which Her Majesty
Makes Occasional Cruises.

The exquisite cleanliness of every
thing strikes one forcibly on board the
Victoria and Albert. The deck is laid
with cork fioor-cloth, over which, when
the Queen is on board. carpet is
placed, and every thing else that is to
be seen is of pure white, with gilded
relief work and silver mountings.
There are very comfortable little sit
ting rooms on the promenade deck, and
behind the paddle wings, and there is
also a dining room on the promenade
deck, which has three big windows and
q skylight. 1t is furnished in green
morocco, and the ceiling is painted in
white and gold. The state apartments
below are placed ON either side of the
corridor, and they are furnished with a
very pretty chintz. The Queens cabins
are on the starboard side, and her Sleep
ing apartment contains large and old
fashioned but very comfortable looking
bedstead with pillars and canopy, and
next is the dressing-room, which was
formerly Prince Albcrt's cabin, and it
remains as he left it, his little writing
table and wardrobe never having been
moved.
Large maps hang on the walls. The
cabin occupied by Princess Beatrice Tor
any Princess who happens to be travel
ing with the Queen are all of her Ma
jesty's quarters, and on the other side
of the corridor are the cabins of the
Princess and large bathroom. The
breakfast room is in the afterpart of the
vessel, and it has very large windows,
and is hung with the portraits of all the
officers who have commanded the royal
yacht.
The drawing-room is forward on the
port side, and it is furnished in birds
eye maple, with a piano and several
beautifully carved side tables. 1t is
hung with portraits of members of the
royal family, and in this room is small
library. The yacht is now lighted with
electricity, except in the Queens own
cabins.-London Truth.

Put Your Birthstone in Order-This Arti-
Gle Tells You How.
If the stone is out of proper circular
form, it should be turned off by holding
a piece of wrought iron, such as an old
bolt or piece of bar iron, fiat on the
bench, keeping it firmly in place; not
letting it work in or out, but wearing
off the high places until the stone is
uniformly concentric with the axis. If
the stone loses its sharpness of grit and
does not grind we'll, it is because the
pores have become filed with PARTICLES
Of steel, which can be removed by the
same process as above, using soft
wrought iron. The rest shown in the
engraving is for holding in the right po-
sition the article to be ground, so as to
grind it to uniform bevel. For max
ing the rest, take two strips Of hard
wood six feet long and one and a-half
inches square; place the ends one inch
apart at one end, and two feet at the
other. Cut piece of wood an inch and
a-half thick and ten inches long, so it
will fit the narrow end. Cut similar
one six inches wide, and long enough to
60 eighteen inches into the wide end,
and nail firmly together, having the
frame, when together, even or flush on
both sides. Bore a hole in the middle
of the narrow end piece, and drive in an
iron pin having a sharp point, project
ing about an inch. An old three-cor-
nered file is the best for this purpose,
leaving the tang out.

/ have had large experience with scab

single instance. | send to some large
tobacco house and buy the coarse,
heavy leaf tobacco, which is cheap
from six to nine cents per pound. Use
about fifty pounds to one hundred sheep,
or enough to make very strong solu-
ton; boil it and dip while as hot as you
can bear your hand in it. Make vat
five feet deep, eighteen inches wide,
two feet long at bottom, six feet long at
top, one end running out like hopper.
Then nail cleats on inside for the sheep
to walk out on without slipping. Set
the vat in the ground, about three and
a-half feet, so the top will be just below
a mans knees; then make a slanting
platform at the end of the vat where
the sheep go out, with the end in the
vat to save the liquid that drains from

solution. Catch your sheep by one fore
leg and one hind leg and hold it over
the vat with it's head the lowest; then
let go, and be sure that it goes under all
over, SO you may kill all the ticks and
nits. As soon as the sheep finds it is
loose it will turn over and, it's head
being at the hopper end of the vat, it
will walk out on the platform, where
you can let them stand and drain while
you refill your vat. You need have no
fears about the tobacco injuring their
eyes or ears, for have dipped several
thousand in that way. If heweather is

for two or three days, only letting them
out long enough to eat. The drippings

will kill all nits. If the wool is short

dip them two or three times before you
