ElRESlpE FRAGMENTS.

"A house is no home unless 1t con-
tain food and fire for the mind as well
as for the body.
White wooden goods may be cleaned
by rubbing in dry starch or flour. Shake
thoroughly.
Moths like warm, dark, stuffy cor
ners, and always avoid light and
breeze, if possible. They are hardy be-
yond belief, especially buffalo moths.
Wash and peal parsnips, lay in milk
until ready to use, season, dip in flour
and fry in clear lard or butter. If the
parsnips are old parboil before frying
Some prefer egg batter to the flour; this
of course, is left to taste.
Thread of all kinds should be kept
rs much as possible from the air, which
rots it. If one buys thread by the
quantity, which is the economical way
of buying it, only so much as is needed
for daily use should be taken out, and
the rest put away in a covered box pro-
tected from the air.
To put up furs in the simplest and
most practical way, it is only necessary
to beat them thoroughly to dislodge any
concealed moth-worms, and examine
them carefully for deposits for eggs;
then wrap them in tissue paper, after
wards in newspaper, and then tie the
various parcels up in bag made OF
thick muslin or linen.
Cut up quart of mixed vegetables,
say carrots, turnips, cabbage and one
onion, into long, thin shreds size of a
match; put in pan, sprinkle with spoon
of sugar and a little butter; place in
oven in pan; cook half-hour, stirring
often so as not to burn; when nicely
colored drain off the butter, turn into
the broth, boil slowly ten minutes, add
a spoon of parsley cut fine, we'll washed;
serve at once. This will give you nice
family julienne soup.
Kidney Toast: Chop fine four veal
kidneys with half pound of calf's liver;
season with pepper and salt. Make a
little butter hot in a frying-pan and toss
them about until cooked but not over
done. Remove from the fire and stir in
the beaten yelk of one egg and half a
teaspoonful of lemon juice. Spread on
toast and serve at once. Stewed or
boiled tomatoes, and hot Indian meal
mullins, go nicely with this excellent
dish.-American Agriculturist.
Roast Fillet of Veal; Take the
bone out of the joint, and make deep
incision between the tillet and the sad
die. Fill it with forcemeat of veal
stufling. Bind the veal up in round
form, and fasten with skewers and
Irvine. Cover the veal with buttered
paper, and put in moderate oven.
Roast with melted butter, and allow two
hours for a siX-pound fillet. When
done, take up, pour over melted butter
and brown gravy.-Household
Meat maybe saved in very warm
weather if, as it is cut out, you have a
kettle of boiling brine. Dip each piece
of meat in this for about one minute
take it out and lay it aside to cool. and
while cooling have quantity of pull.
verified nitre nitrate of potash) dust
and sprinkle over the flesh side of each
piece about a dessertspoonful, which
will be absorbed by the meat in about
half an hour; then pack the meat down,

In week or so overhaul and re-salt.-

shillings; but you may have it for
eighteen" Charlie paid for it, and told
her to send it to his house in just half
an hour. He then started home as fast
as he could go. He went in the back
way, and got behind an old piece of car
pet that hung over the fireplace that
had not been used for long time. And
he heard his wife say: 'Now children,
your clothes are all mended and clean,
and you can go to the Sunday-school
tomorrow. They are not very good,
but you shall have better when your
father is reformed man." When
Charlie heard this the tears rolled down
his cheeks. Just then there came a
loud knock on the door. The vegetable
man now came in. "Where will you
have these things?" They do not be-
long here" she said. Eyes they do"
And he turned them out in one corner of
the floor, and went out as the butcher
came in. Where will you have this
mutton?'' II guess you have made a
mistake; it does not belong here" mo,
have not, it is for Drunken Charlie"
for that is the name he always went
by-and he laid it on the clean, white
table. AS he went out the baker came
in. Where will you have this?" ''Oh,
it don't belong here" YAH" said the
Dutchman. "Dis vos Drunken Charlie
dat paid for dis bread, if don't be mis-
TAKEN" and he turned the contents Of
his basket on the table. Then the coal
cart stopped in front of the door,
and the coal man asked: where
will you have this coal, madam"
ut don't belong here" said
Charles wife; there must be
some very great mistake" mo, there
is no mistake about it, for was told to
leave it at Drunken Charlie's." And he
turned the cart up and dumped the coal
in front of the door. The poor woman
did not know what to think of it all,
and she said aloud: "How l would like
to cook some Of that mutton and some
of those potatoes for my dear husbands
supper, and have some of that bread and
sweet crackers for the childrenw Just
then the milliner's girl came to the door
and asked: Twill you try on this bon
net?' But it don't belong here; 1
haven't had bonnet for fifteen years"
But your husband has bought it and
paid for it half an hour ago." She mau-
aged to get it on her head and went out.
AS Mrs. Charlie went to put it away her
husband crept out of his hiding-place
and threw his arms around her and told
her they were all hers, and that she
would never want again. They wept to-
gether and rejoiced together, and soon
they prayed together and read the Word
of God, and with His grace Charlie kept
the pledge, and his home became the
abode of sunshine and happiness.-Rev.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
THE BOY AND THE LANDLORD.

Said Tom 10 Dick and Harry:
THE wind is sharp, today;
Suppose we have u whisky straight,
To keep the cold away!"
"All right'-the cheerful answer
That's just the talk for me-"
And the smiling landlord mixed the drink
And pocketed his fee.
Another day the comrades
Met at his door again;
And now twas heat, instead Of cold,
That made them all complain.
Thermometer at ninety,
And such o blazing sun!
Let's have drink to cool us off,
NJ sooner said than done.
There stood the smiling landlord
In his buttonhole flower:
He mixed for Tom whisky straight"
For Dick ''whisky-sour;"
And when he found that Harry
Preferred a brandy-smash.
He mixed it with as good q grace
And pocketed the cash.
A boy looked on and wondered
"a boy that was no fooD
How drink could warm men up one day,
And one day make them cool.
ut doesn't stand TO reason,
The thing can work both ways"
The smiling landlord answered him:
mo matter, II 1t pays.
1.-THE whole things in nutshell
When people want to drink,
1t warns them up or cools them OF,
Just as they choose to think.
1t pays-that's all 1 care for"
The boy thought: Eyes, that's so;
But how it pays the other folks,
Is what want to know"
Twas easy to discover,
For the downward road is quick
To men that drink for heat and cold,
Like Harry, Tom and Dick.
Their business went to ruin,
And they to want and shame;
But the landlord mixed his liquors,
And sold them all the same.
And SO the boy learned wisdom:
He sha'n't grow rich on me;
For I'll quench my thirst with water,
Gods own free gift!"-thought he.
He kept his word, and prospered,
In honest, sober ways
And rich in health and happiness,
His life shows how it pays"

PRETTY HOMEMADE RUGS.
How Ingenious Ladies Can Produce Some
Very Pleasing Results.

very EicisiHS IGeSuIISs
To make a rug, plenty of persever-
ance is needed, for it is large contract
to make one of ordinary size; but it is
very pretty work, and can be done with
ease by even those ladies whose eye
sight is failing. Purchase from some
carpet dealer supply of scraps of tap
estry and Brussels carpeting; pieces
that are too small to be worked up into
hassocks are quite large enough for this
purpose.
Cut these into strips of any length
their size allows, but let them be of uni
form width, say three inches. Ravel
these out, rejecting the linen and COL
lecting in box the little crimped
worsted threads. Then provide yourself
with pair of the largest sized steel
knitting needles and a ball of the
coarsest crochet cotton, either white
or colored. Set on ten stitches and
after knitting row or two, to make a
firm beginning, go on as if you were max
ing garter, but with every other stitch
the needles. After knitting the stitch
take the wool which shows upon the
wrong side, and turn it toward the right
side, knitting a stitch above to secure
it. Then put in another thread of wool
and repeat the process. The back of the
strips should be something the appear
ance of that of body Brussels carpet,
while the front should be like sort Of
thick, long mapped plush.
The colors may be used without se7
lection, making sort of "chene' effect;
or carpets may be chosen for travelling
which show only shades of scarlet OF
blue; or brown carpets may be used for
the center of the rug, and border OF
scarlet or blue sewed on all around.
After doing little of this work, many
ideas as to the arrangements of colors,
will suggest themselves, and little
practice will enable the knitter to pro-
duce some very pleasing results.
When the strips are all finished they
must be sewed together at the back. 1t
is only for convenience that they are
knitted in strips. The rug. as whole,
would be cumbersome and unwieldy to
handle. Brussels or velvet carpet hearth
rugs, are made with a strip of this knit
ting for the border, giving a very pretty
anish.-Dorcas-
