Dishes Drowned by use may bo cleaned
by letting them remain half or three
quarters of an hour in boiling soda water.
Purify clothes that have been kept
from the air by laying pieces of charcoal
wrapped in paper in the folds. Try
the open air ut first.
To preserve apples, spread thcm on
grating, but not in contact with each
other, as one bad apple will spoil the
others by starting decay.

TuTth,aptine and black varnish is tho
backing used by hardware dealers for
protecting stoves from rust. II put on
properly it will last through tho season.
The best way when hot grease hes
been spilled on the floor is to dash cold
water over it, so as to harden it quickly
and prevent it striking into the boards.
Don't forget to have few beans of
coffee handy, for this serves as dco-
dorizer II burnt on Goals or paper. Bits
of charcoal placed around arc useful in
absorbing gases aud other impurities.
Lemons should be kept hung up in an
open work basket, or a bag made from 4
net. Soap should DC cut into convenient
sized pieces and piled neatly on one end
of the shelf, so that the air may circulate
and dry it.
Either, write the name of tho variety
Of the jelly on neat little
slip of white paper, and paste this on the
side of the glass, or write in the centre
of the covers before pasting them on.
A porcelain kettle is the best for pre-
serving; too large quantity should never
be cooked at one time. Large fruits
may be put in the syrup, cooked RAPIDLY
~ ini.Sc, anu tnen slowly, to preserve the
shape; if tho fruit is cooked and the
syrup yet thin, take up piece at time
carefully, boil the syrup until thick, re.
turn the fruit to it and cook slowly.
A pretty way of serving eggs for tea is
this: Out bread in nice square pieces and
toast. Take eggs out of the shell, keep
ing yolks whole. Beat the whites to a
stiff froth, lay the beaten white around
nicely on the toast, drop yolks in centre
of white ring, salt and put in hot oven
to bake fow minutes. When YOU take
them out of the over, pour little melted
butter on toast.

Tho Future Of the Toad.

1t is difficult to see at Grst what is the
relation that exists between toads and
railroads. Many persons, however, in
sist that such Il relation does exist and
that it is Il very intimate ono indeed, rs
they accuse the railroads of destroying
the toads. man wl.c IS not very iond
already too many Of them, although agri-
culturists do not look at it in the same
light. The toad is II great eater Of
harmful insects, and it seems that in
many localities the toads are disappear
ing.
When the young toad is able 10 Jump,
its principal amusement is to wander
around i'll cool places. Now, it often
happens that after shower it goes to the
nearest railroad climbs up the bank and
manages TO reach the top rail, from
which it generally falls Off on the OPP
and tries to jump over tho opposite rail-
but, being too small, it cannot jump high
enough, and, in spite of its efforts is
imprisoned indefinitely between the two
rails. 1t hops along the road, but finally,
deprived Of food and exhausted by its
unsuccessful efforts, it dies. An engineer,
walking along track not long ago,
counted 800 emaciatcd bodies Of toads in
space of ten meters. A story is related
OF an immense number Of toads that fairly
blocked arailroad for several kilomctcrs,
the number being SO great that the train
could make no progress.
These observations, though interesting,
need to be gcneralizcd before one can
admit that railroads are really cause of
the determination of the race of toads.
In any case, we may be sure that, in
spite of the usefulness of toads, they will
exert no influence over the further de-
velopment of railroads. - New York

A GroIt nIsxicun Farm.

con one farm in Mexico I saw
enough Of the luxuries of life produced
to make any man happy" remarked
Mr.. G. 8. Wood, of Ell Paso, Tex, last
night at the Midland. "The farm, was
not large as some farms go in Mexico,
but it was, to use a slang phrase, q
'stunner.' l don't think the mind of
man could imagine vegetable product
that could not be produced on that
farm. at any rate, saw growing there
coffee, sugar, rice, potatoes, rye, wheat,
oats, corn, berries, cabbage, tomatoes,
apples, bananas, cocoa, figs, cocheneal
and dozen other products. On tho
upper end of this farm you could find
gold, silver, sapphires, onyx and other
precious stones. Some of these articles
were not produced in quantities large
enough to pay to market them, but they
were all found there, and all at the ser.
vice OF the owner of the land. Oh, ]
suppose the farm contained 10000 or
10000 acres of land, but it extended

now TO COOK RICE.

Rice b becoming much more popu-
Lar article Of food than heretofore. 1t is
frequently substituted for potatoes at
the chief meal of the day, being much
more nutritious and much moro readily
digested. At its present cost it is rels-
lively cheaper than potatoes, oatmeal or
grain n-grits Of any kind. In preparing
it only just enough cold water should bo
poured on to prevent the rice from burn
ing at the bottom Of the pot, which
should have close fitting cover, and
with a moderate fire the rice is steamed
rather than boiled until nearly done;
then the cover is taken of, the surplus
steam aud moisture allowed TO escape,
and the rice turns out mass of snow
white kernels, each separate from tho
other, and as much superior to the usual
soggy mass as fine mealy potato is
superior - the watcr-soaked article

Between tho North and South.

The Mason and Dixon limo runs along
tho parallel of latitude thirty-ninc de.
grees and forty-thrcc minutes, twenty six
degrees and three minutes, separating
Pennsylvania from Maryland. 1t was
drawn by two distinguished English sur
veyors, Charles Mason and Jeremiah
Dixon, who began their work in 1763
and finished it in 1867. The line is
marked by stones set at intervals of five
miles, each having the arms of Lord
Baltimore engraved upon one side and
those of the Penn family upon the other.
Besides these large stones set to mark
each fifth mile, smaller stones were set at
the end of each mile, these having q
letter p engraved upon one side and

initial letters of Pennsylvania and Mary

me, until my eye caught sight OF an
article headed "Jenks' Dream" Imag~
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
a Recommendation to use DR.. PierceS
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache,
determined to try them, and, to my great
Joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.

The principal reason why fall pigs are
not more profitable is because sufficient
care is not taken to receive healthy,
thrifty growth during the winter.
Hogs never should be allowed to sleep
on the manure piles, it induces mango as
well as an unhealthy condition in the sys-
tenn, that it will be found best to avoid.
Let fowls now have full sway among
tho grass, shrubs and orchards. They
will enjoy the exercise and make havoc
among the grubs, slugs, worms and other
insects that are injurious to vegetable life.
Moreover the diet is cheap and healthy.
Covering Strawberries, spinach, kale,
pansics, etc., should now be attended to
at once If it has not been done already.
Bear in mind that the covering should be
light, evergreen boughs are the best
salt sedge or thatch next, and coarse,
