Brief Chapter ON Relishes.

The relshes are of two classes.
First those which depend mainly on
one or more piquant substances, such
as pepper, mustard, ginger, horse
radish, cinnamon and the various
spices. These are combined with
some one or more-generally with
several of the following vegetables as
a base: tomatoes, usually green
onions, cabbage, cucumbers, pears
peaches, currants, berries, grapes.
Secondly, those which depend
mainly on sugar, combined with the
juices of various fruits, or with the
pulp, as in the case of marmalade.
Now the question arises, are these
and similar relishes conducive to
health?
A normal, vigorous appetite needs
no such aid. 1t is sufficient of itself
The lower animals need nothing of
the kind The cows green grass, the
horses dry hay, and the dogs bone
with little meat on it, are doubtless
eaten with relish that our pamper-
ed stomachs know little Of
Unfortunately, all people have not
high health Some are in a feeble
condition, with little or no APP
petite. A sensitive appetite
and yet their recovery depends mainly
on the food they take. In such cases
some simple relish is not merely
greately desirable; it is necessary.
Many persons in this driving age,
cometo their meals with little appetite
quickens and increases the gastic
secretions In such cases, therefore
some piquant relish is really helpful
Probably even the strongest is not
injurious, if used with moderation
but relishes are greately pernicious
if used to encourage over-eating, OF
to cause one to eat when the stoma
che is already exhausted from previ
GUS repletion.-Youths Companion

The utmost care on the part of the
housewife is the price paid for the
health of the family. We have all
heard the story of the father Of the
German bride who gave his daughter
"a golden casket, with the Injunction
not to pass it to any other hands,
for it held n charm which, in her
keeping. would be of inestmable val
ue to her as the mistress of a house.
Not only was she to have the entire
care of it, but she was to take it
every morning to the cellar, the
kitchen and the stable, and to re-
main with it in each place for three
minutes. After the lapse of three
years the father was to send the key
that the secret of the talisman might
be discovered. Directions Were fol-
lowed the key sent and the casket
opened, when it was found to con-
tain an old parchment, upon which
was written, 1.-THE eye of the mistress
is worth hundred pairs ofservants'
hands" The wise father knew that
a practice OF inspection, followed
faithfully for a period of three years
with such results us we may reason
ably believe followed, would he per
petuated-that the casket and hid
den charms would have accomplish
ed their mission

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Hints for the Home.

For cleaning brass use thin paste
ofplate powder, two tablespoonfuls
of vinegar, four tablespoonfuls of
alcohol. Rub with piece or fan
nell polish with chamois.
Two large silver salt cellars ore
now used, one at each end of the ta-
BILE. These are to be passed to each
guest, who will remove n little salt to
his empty individual salt-cellar.
Corsages are extremely varied in
style, and none are wholly plain in
effect. The directorie and empire
effects and characteristics st i'll prevail
very largely.
Jet, rich silk-cord passt mcnteries,
and gold and silver gimys and gal
looms are as fashionable as if they
had never been seen before this sea-
son.
A quick cure for burns is to apply
a layer of common salt and satur-
ate it with laudanum. Hold it in
place an hour or so by n simple
bandage. The smarting sensation
disappears rapidly, and the burn
gets we'll
Kettle-holders made offelt, covered
one side with flannel, the other side
with brocade, are much better than
many more elaborate connections.
When tea is made at table they are
almost a necessity.
1t is good plan to keep quanti-
ty of sifted flour in the pantry, ready
for the making of biscuits, cake or
pie, so as to be prepared if they are
wanted in a hurry, as in case OF COM
pany coming and remaining to a
meal
A very complete filling for open
cracks in floors may be made by
thoroughly soaking newspapers in a
paste made of one pound of flour,
three quarts of water, teaspoonful
OF alum, thoroughly boiled and
mixed; make the final mixture about
as thick as putty, and it will harden
like papier-mache.
Into the hands of every housewife
is committed casket far more
precious than the result of any
ewellers' skill. Unseen thieves are
continually lurking about that
threaten it's safety, never so numer-
GUS as in early winter. The casket is
the health ofthe family; the danger
that threatens it, disease. Its pres.
ervation depends on watchfulness
born of love.
AS a dressing for ladies' shoes
nothing equals vaseline, making the
leather soft and pliable without soil
ing the garments in contract. Wher,
the feet sweat, burnt alum and glyce
ripe-one of the former to two of til,
latter-rubbed on the feet at night
and a light or open sock worn, thu
feet washed in the morning with tepit
water, will keep them during the day
free from odor, so disagreeable tt

sters the principal products of Ohio.
The teacher had in view the corn
crop of the Buckeye state, but the

"What do the Ohio farmers raise?'
had been asked many times and in
many ways, one of the brightest re-

smile, land what do they raise to
feed the hogs?" "Swill!" exclaimed
