cattle ever experienced since the first
settlement. Cattle scattered worse than
usual and drifted into the most inaccess-
able places, aud a great many persisted.
The worst of NIL, il is stated the loss still
continues, and Is not confined to horned
cattle alone, but also numbers of horses
are succum biug TO the lack OF feed and
dearth of open grazing ground.

Indian Rugs.

Take piece of Irvine about eight feet
long, tie the ends together, now loop one
end over a screw hook inserted into
the under edge of q table, and hook the
other end over a similar hook screwed
into another table, or anything station
airy. Draw the cords tight, and take
rags of any kind, cut up into pieces three
inches long and half an inch wide; lay one
of these strips on top of the cords and
pull up each end of the rag strip through
the cords and slip down to the end of the
strings. Continue until the cords are full.
Take Off and put new strings until there
is enough for a rug. Wien done, the
strings can be sewed together, and the
ends of the rags sheered, making beauti-
full tufted mats. Any kind of rags may be
used together and the colors interviewer
in patterns, if you like. can recommend
them as the best and quickest rugs to
make, and very pretty. hope you will
try them and report, and any further in
formation will cheerfully give.

Nutmegs as a Medicine.

The medicinal qualities of nutmegs are
worthy ola great deal ofattention. They
are fragrant in odor, warm and grateful
to the taste, and possess decided sedative,
astringement and soporific properties.
In the following affections they will be
found highly serviceable: Gastralgia
(neuralgia of the stomach), cholera NOR
bus, flatulent collie, dysentery, cholera in
fantum and infantile collie.
In all cases nutmeg may be prepared
for administration in the following man
ner:
Crate one or more nutmegs into a fine
powder. For children give one-sixth to
one-third of a teaspoonsul, according to
age, of this powder, mixed with small
quantity of milk. For adults, from a half
to two teaspoonfuls may be given in the
same way, according to the severity of
the case. Every two hours is generally
the best time to administer this remedy.

How to Make Chocolate.

The secret in making chocolate, says a
leading coniectioner of New York City, is
in mixing the powder with enough boil
ing water to make a thin paste, and then
pouring On boiling water and scalding
one minute. 1t can be made with all milk
and no water if desired, but it is too rich
for most people without the addition of
some water. Chocolate, cocoa, nor any
such mixture should never be stirred with
anything but silver or wooden spoon.
A teasl oonf0l of chocolate to a cupis the
rule, and if the liquids are poured on
while they are boiling and the whole
be no doubt but that it will be a success.

Serving the Meals.

There is nothing which shows more
method OF serving the everyday meals.
We are not speaking of company man
ners for company dinners, when the table
is set, as on rare occasions, with the little
silver Or china the family may possess,
but of the customary manner in which
the food is served and eaten.
Many families hurry through their
meals as if a wager was offered them for
dispatch in the matter, and, like Napo-
leon, who, it was said, devoured his en-
tire dinner in six minutes, will care neither
Tor table manners or any pleasant inter
change OF social chat at such times. With
them eating is the only business on hand
worth their attention, and which must
be gotten through with theutmost haste
possible.
Itseems almost impossible for mother
to serve her meals in any kind Of order
or nicely when such hasty eating has be-
come fixed habit. A habit so formed
is very difficult to overcome. Let her be
very careful that her children are early
trained in deliberate and polite ways of
eating. 1t is one thing she must insist
upon as absolutely necessary.
There is no reason, even when the
father and boys in the family are obliged
to hurry away to their daily work, why
proper decorum and order may not be
observed in serving the dinner. Ii the
mother makes it a point always to have
the dinner ready on exact time, the three
courses which usually comprise a plain
dinner, can be served even in our plainest
mechanics and laboring families; we will
not say in real ''stylp," but in wise, or
Derby fashion.
See to it that the table is set neatly
and invitingly with spotless cloth and
napkins, the plates changed after the
soup and meat course for the simple des-
sert. Because Of haste one is often in
duced to become careless in these minor
points.
Well served meals and correct table
manners go far toward the wise educa-
ton of the children. For their sake, if
for no other, ''let everything be done de-
Gently and in order"

A RECIPE FOR A DAY.

Take little dash of water cold,
Aud little leaven of prayer,
And a little bit of morning gold
Dissolved in morning air.
Add to your meal some merriment
And thought for kith and kin;
And then, as yodr prime ingredient,
A plenty of work thrown in.
But spice it all with the essence of love
And little Whit of play;
Let wise old book and glance above,
Complete the well spent day.
