All large fruits, after pairing, should
Immediately be thrown into cold wa

boiled in clear water until tender,

Small fruits retain their shape more
perfectly if sugared one or two hours
before cooking. A quarter teaspoon
full of alum added to each pound of
sugar hardens the fruit and gives it
brilliancy.
Large mouthed glass jars, with
porcelain lined or glass tops only,

Right around the world and home again.

/ Thank Thee, o my God !

For the rosebud's breath of beauty
Along the toiler's way;
Fer the violet's eye that opens
To bless the newborn day;
For the bare twigs that in summer
Bloom like the prophets rod;
For the blossoming of flowers,

In brightness and in dread;
For the peaks where snow and sunshine
Alone have dared to tread;
For the dark or silent gorges,
Whence mighty cedars nod;

For the splendor of the sunsets,
Vast mirTored on the sea;
For the gold-fringed clouds that curtain
Heavens inner mystery;
For the molten bars of twilight,
Where thought leans, glad, yet awed;
For the glory of the sunsets,

The sky and all its light;
For the dim and soothing shadows
That rest the dazzling sight;
For unfIding fields and prairies
Where sense in vain has trod;
For the words exhaustless beauty,

For an eye of inward seeing,
A soul to know and love;
For these common aspirations,
That our high heirship prove;
For the hearts that bless each other,

CLOVER BOY.

Glover Boy is one of the most perfect horses in
Northern Vermont. Our country is flooded with
small horses of little value. Such horses are not
in great demand. Horses of 100 lbs. with good
style and action, will always be in demand at high
prices. 1t costs but few dollars more at the start
to colt TO bring $500 TO $500 at four years
old, than to raise which can never bring more
that half that price at the age. He Is bean.

Domestic Uses for Ammonia.

A little ammonia in tepid water
will soften and cleanse the skin.
Spirits of ammonia will often re-
lieve severe headache.
Door plates should be cleansed by
rubbing with cloth wet in ammonia
and water.
If the color has been taken out of
silks by fruit stains, ammonia will
usually restore the color.
To brighten carpets, wipe them
with warm water in which has been
poured few drops of ammonia.
One or two tablespoonfuls of am
monia added to pail of water will
clean windows better than soap.
A few drops in a cupful of warm
water, applied carefully, will remove
spots from paintings and chromos.
Grease spots may be taken out
with weak ammonia in water; lay
soft white paper over, and iron with
a hot iron.
When acid of any kind gets on
clothing, spirits of ammonia will kill
it. Apply chloroform to restore the
color.
Keep nickle, silver ornaments, and
mounts bright by rubbing with WOOL
en- cloth saturated in spirits of am
monia.
Old brass may be cleaned to look
like new by pouring strong ammonia
on it, and scrubbing with a scrub
brush rinse in clear water.
A tablespoonful of ammonia in a
gallon of warm water will often re-
store colors in carpets; it will also
remove whitewash from them.
Yellow stains left by sewing ma
chine oil, on white, may be removed
by rubbing the spot with cloth wet
with ammonia, before washing with
soap.
Equal parts of ammonia and tur-
pentine will take paint out of cloth
ing, even if it be hard and dry. Sat-
urate the spot as often as necessary,
and wash out in soap suds.
Put teaspoonful of ammonia in
quart of water, wash your brushes
and combs in this, and all grease
and dirt will disappear. Rinse, shake,
and dry in the sun or by the fire.
If those who perspire freely would
use a little ammonia in the water
they battle in every day, it would
keep their flesh clean and sweet, do
ing away with any disagreeable odor.
Flannels and blankets may be |
soaked in pail of water containing
one tablespoonful of ammonia and a
little suds.-Rub as little as possible,
and they will be white and clean and |
will not shrink.
One teaspoonful of ammonia to a
teacupful of water will clean gold or
silver jewelry; few drops of clear
aqua ammonia rubbed on the under |
side of diamonds will clean them i'm
mediately, making them very brill
iant.-Scjentitic american.

I curTNe DowN E1fExsEs

Gao o. the principal objects to be
attained BY a Constitutional Convsn-
I t:on and the adoption OF a neE Con-
.~ssitutioa, IS retreacimsat In State ex-
penditures. The consolidation OF tho
onses of Secretary OF State and Clerk
OF the Supreme Court, Controller md
Superintendent OF Public instructions,
dispensing with certain deputies
whose services ara MT really neces-
sary for the faithful performance OF
the duties OF the Office, cutting out
the Offices OF Lieutenant-Gorernor
and Attorney-G Genera, as well as
other proposed changes, might be ac-
complished without detriment to the
public service; but the proposition to
dispense with the Supreme Court ana
require the four District Judges to
Sit IN bank as n Court to hear md de-
iermine appeals from the various Dis
trict Courts, is or doubtful expedi-
cncy
The proposition is that the four
Distric. Judges shall be ex-oficio
judges OF the Supreme Court, Of
which latter Court ut Last two terms
shall be held in each year. Three of
the said Judges shall form a q"orum
for the transaction Of the business Of
the Snpreme Court; provided, that IN
:the decision of all cases in ~Su-
-Preme Court thu Judge who presided
: ut the trial in the Distric; Court shall
Z not participate in the decision OF the
rAPPellate Court, but the somc shall
10 heard and determined by the
other three Judges.
: Ii seems, and is, perfectly right that
q judge who rendered a decision in
the District Court should be SECLUDED
from participating in Il judgment
rendered b. the Appellate Court; but
when we take into consideration the
fact that in all deliberative bodies
there is more or less OF q feeling of
reciprocity among the members, tho
danger of such an arrangement Of
the Judiciary will be apparent. That
those who are elevated TO the position
of District and ex-officio Supreme
Judges should DO men OF high char
acter and unimpeachabIe honor is
true, but that even Judges are human
no n will deny; and it IS but nat
ural that the fou- District Judges
should entertain for each other a
respect which would crop out moro or
less in their deliberations as q Court
OF Appeal.
With this view of the matter the
Oituation might be stated as follows:
Alb g and d are District Judges; 4
renders n decision rs District Judge
and the case is appealed. 3 c and D
site as a Supreme Court, A, of course,
being barred. Now, if AS decision is
reversed, would it not be perfectly
natural for him TO feel less like sus.
tainiIg'a judgment appealed from BIS
Court when he (A) sits in judgment
than If his judgment had been
affirmed? This feeling is but nat
urai, and TO some extent would, no
doubt, have its influence on all four
of tho District Judges, and it might
be. carried to such an extent as to de-
feat the ends OF Justice. While it is
: true that our Supreme Court appears
to be an expensive luxury, it is doubt
full whether IFS adjustment would
prove a benefit TO the people. OF The
State, and the matter. should be
GraYely considered before sabmit-
ting it to tho people.
