THE HOUSEHOLD,
Evoke the Best Talent in "A Child.

Nearly every child is endowed by
nature with faculty or aptitude for some
special work, varying as the tempera-
ments and individualities differ in each
member of the family. 1t is here where
the fine diseenment and discriminate
ing Judgment of the parents should be
, exercised to evoke the best talent, to
encourage and foster its manifestation
by every means calculated to bring it to
perfection. Is II musical ability? Then
see to it that patient drudgery of daily
practice is honestly performed, not
alone by oral command, but by personal
supervision, for it is natural for chill
dren to shirk labor. The rule applies
to boy or girl indifferently. Whatever
the bent-even if opposed to your own
preferences-if decided talent or skill
is evinced, cultivate it in a practical
manner for contingent practical neces-
stiles. Teach your children something,
and teach it we'll and to the utmost
limit of his or her capacity .-R"rot Cat

Dowker looked sharply at the new
conner, whom he now knew to be Lady
Balscombe's maid. and she returned his
gaze with look Of suspicion.

rather harsh voice, Il hope you'll know

Dawker laughed, and Lydia fastened

when she heard Mr.. Dowkers calling.
This gentleman" said Lydia when
they were all seated, wants to ask you
few questions.
And for what?" asked Miss Lifford, in
dignantly, my character l hope being
above rolicemen's prying."

want to know all that took place on the
night your mistress e'oped.
1Are you employed by Sir Rupert?"
asked Annie, grandly; because. though
I knows they fought bitter, yet wild bulls
won't drag anything out of me against
my mistress, she being a good one to
me-"
L don't want you to say anything
against your mistress" replied Dowker,
mildly; but am invetigating this case
of murder
Murder" echoed Miss Lifford. in a
scared tone. Who is murdered-not Lady
Balscombe?"
No." said Lydia bursting into tears,
but my poor mistress. Miss Sarschine."
A person of no reputa ," shifted Annie,
coldly.
Leave her alone, said Lydia passion
ately. She's dead poor soul, and, even if
she was not married, she was better than
Lady Balscombe, carrying on with Lord
Calliston.
"Oh. indeed, miss" said Annie, rising
Indignantly. This is a plot, is it, to
mix up Lady Baissombe with your mis-
tress? l won't have anything to do with
it."
Dowker caught her wrist as she arose
and forced her back into her chair.
You'll answer what / want to know"
he said sternly, "or it will be the worse
for yourself.
Upon this Miss Litfold began to weep,
and demanded if she was slave or
British female, TO be thus badgered and
assaulted by policeman. At last, after
some difficulty, Dowker succeeded in
making her understand that what he
wanted to know was not detrimental to
her mistress, upon which she said she
would tell him what he required SO
Dowker produced his note book and pre-
pared to take down Miss Litford's evil
dencs.

We always welcome the testimony of

of Mr.. W. II. Steele, Texas:
In answer to the inquiry of James
Hare, Texas, about sheep dip, | will say
that after an experience of sixteen years

should not be dipped i'll it, ITS the lime
cuts the grease III the wool and leaves
the staple dry and brittle for a time. and
Will tighten the weight of fleece at
shearing.
The least amount of lime that Will
dissolve the sulphur. Is the proper pro-
portion. We use here twenty pounds
Of lime TO eighty pounds of sulphur,
cooked in 100 gallons of water. for sew
eral hours until the sulphur is dis
solved. The liquid is then black

ture is diuted with five gallons of water
and used either hot or cold. prefer 1t
hot Soak the sheep two minutes IN
vat. and dip again in ten days, and a
complete cure should be the result.
Ny experience with Angora goats is,
they are tender and delicate, will not
stand the storms of winter like sheep.
The fleece is very light, one pound be

have seen, and III Texas they shed their
hair so early III the spring that shear

Veal,

Every one knows that the color of
veal has much to do with getting good
prices for it. The National .StOckmo'2
says the color of the meat may be ascer-
tanned during the life of the calf by
looking at the color of the blood vessels
of the mucous membrane of the eyes.
if of a delicate. light pink, the veal
Will be clear and white; but If of a dark
red color, the meat will be of a reddish
yellow color. The meat of calves
slaughtered too young will be dark red,
and feel Shiny when handled. The
meat of strangled calve is of blush
red color.

LOVES RIDDLE IN EGYPT.
BY MARY SHAW,

desolate sun scorched desert and thirsty
dying palm;
pyramid a brooding sphinx, soft Egyptian
calm.
On thoughts of love and wealth and pride like
Cleopatra she
Nov dreams the old dreams again in this land OF
mystery.
The old time palm and pyramid, the sphinx be-
side the way,
And the passions of that long, dead time stir our
hearts to-day.
The sands wherein the Christ child played cover
the silent sphinx;
Waters which laved His sacred feet the heather
Mahdi drinks
The gentle Christ and the Arab, to-day, dwell in
our hearts
And now our loves. and now our hates, force us
TO play parts
And life and love sweep onward past the sphinx
and pyramid
At last part of that sacred dust, their secrets
we'll read.

Sinking Large Stones.

The cheapest and most effectual way
to rid the land of large stones is to dig
a hole beside them. roll them in and fl
up, adding enough additional earth
from the roadside to make the surface
level. It seems queer that after rolling
large stone in a newly dug hole that
more dirt will be needed to fill it up,
but in most soils experience shows this
to be the fact. Digging pulverizes the
soil, enabling it to pack more closely

SO far from farmers being jealous of
each other. and trying to keen their
neighbors from initiating and sharing
their successes, they ought rather to re-
joice III and encourage this. Often the
combination Of number of farmers in
one specially helps to create "a market
for 1t, and make 1T IL success, where, ii
they grew it alone. it would prove a
failure. 1t is, therefore. the interest of
farmers to make public their successes,
so that those in their neighborhood may
share III them. All crops have their
especial adaptations to certain locations.
and when these are discovered it is
everybody's interest that the know ledge
be made as public as possible. There
need be nothing selfish in the farmers
conduct of his business, as the demand
for his products is always larger than
he can supply, and generally increases
i'll proportion with the amount pro-
duced. Besides. as this business of
growing and marketing special crops
increases. more is learned about them.
and they can be produced and sold more
cheaply. In this way, each locality is
able to retain a profitable monopoly of
its speciality.
A Pound of Pork.
Prof. Hunt, of the Illinois College
Farm, after series of experiments, has
the following to say regarding the
amount Of food required for a pound of
pork:
1. it required 1880 pounds of skim
milk to produce / pound of pork when
fed with cornmeal, ratio l141 to tatten-
ing hogs.
,. Skim milk could not be econom-
ically fed to fattening hogs unless it was
product which could not be otherwise
utilized.
;. 1t required on an average 4 pounds
of shelled corn to produce l pound of
pork during al average period of four
weeks, or | bushel produced -. pounds.
f. 1t required :. pounds of cornmeal
to produce ! pound of pork, or l bushel
of corn made INTO meal and fed Will
produce l2i pounds of pork.
,. When dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed fat
tening hogs.
6. 1t required = pounds, or / bushel,
of ground oats to produce / pound of
pork when fed with equal parts by
weight of cornmeal.
Z. One bushel of cornmeal is worth
nearly three bushels of oats as food for
fattening hogs.
$. Cornfed pigs gained A. pounds per
week and ate about u pounds of corn
per 100 pounds Of live weight.
8. Pork was produced during the cold
weather, with corn at IS cents per bushel,
for less than cents per pound.
10. Indian corn is the most econom-
zeal pork producin material during the
winter months in regions where extern
sivcly grown.
