Grandmother's Pantry.

A correspondent who evidently has a
sweet TOOTH wake eloquent over the
goodies made by our grandmothers, who,
as he truly says, had few cook books, but
knew how to cook. He writes feelingly
and well, but If he is q married man it is
perhaps fortunate for him that his letter is
printed anonymously.
1t is long since some of US have seen any
of the crullers of which we were so fond
when grandmother made them.
She used to make also a toothsome little
seed cake, fragrant with caraway and
anise seeds, with sugar on top, the like of
which we have not seen since we used to
slip into her pantry and help ourselves out
of the old blue stone jar in which they were
always kept.
There was another and larger stone jar
on the same shelf, in which she kept those
big, puffy, twisted and braided doughnuts
that neither looked nor tasted like the de.
generate doughnuts of the present day.
Sometimes we chose a cooky instead, a
cooky las was q cooky;" not a thin, wafer
like, dry cooky, like the cookies of this gen.
Grafton, but a full inch thick and almost as
large as a saucer-a cooky to delight the
heart and still more the stomach of a hun
cry boy.
You remember, too, the big brown turn
over with your initial on it. In these days
of elaborate and unwholesome dishes you
have never tasted anything better than
that turnover.
You found many things in your grand
mothers pantry that you never find any
where now. And perhaps, with the excep-
ton Of your own mother, you have never
found any one so kind and patient and
generous as grandmother herself was.-

Cure for Round Shoulders,

Round shoulders are almost unavoida-
bly, accompanied by weak lungs, but may
be cured by the simple and easily per-
formed exercise of raising ones self upon
the toes. in a perpendicular position, sew
eral times daily. Take a perfectly up
right position, with the heels together and
the toes at an angle Of forty-five degrees.
Drop the arms lifelessly by the sides, ami
mating and raising the chest to its full ca
pacity m~uscularly, the chin we'll drawn in.
Slowly rise up IN the balls of the feet to
the greatest possible height, thereby exer-
cising all the muscles of the legs and body;
come again into standing position without
swaying the body backward out of the per-
feet line. Repeat this exercise first on one
foot and then Oh the other.-New York
Journal.

The agricultural editor Of The Times
Democrat says: The other day we met
a gentleman from Alabama who gave us
a piece of information as to ascertaining
the age of a horse after it has passed the
ninth year which was quite new to us,
and will be, we are su1,>, to most of our
readers. 1t is this: After a horse is
8 years old a wrinkle comes on the
eyelid, at the upper corne of the lower
lid, and every year thereafter he has one
well defined wrinkle for each year Of his
age over 8. If, for instance, a horse
has three wrinkles, he is 10; if four, 10.
Add the number of wrinkles to nine and
you will always get at it. So says the
gentleman. and he is confident it will
never fail,

Points of Interest.

A pair OF horses were recently in
a driving wagon in New York city with
blind brides on, to be sure, but with
windows in the binders, so that the
horses could see all about them. This
was altogether c~onsiderate and merciful,
of course, but why did not the owner of
those horses leave off the binders alto
gether? That apparently has not oc-
CURED to him. Binders are slowly
going out Of use. Some of the most
magnificent specimens Of Clydes and Per-
cherons driven to the great trucks in the
cities are now harnessed with brides
that have lone of the wretched binders.
If a horse is allowed to see everything
and examine it for himself, so al to know
that it will not hurt him, he is not going
to get scared and run away from it. The
horse has far more intelligence and rea-
soning power than he gets credit for.
The terror Of the unknown is greatest
both with men and horses.
Gleason says that q horses nostrils are
his fingers, and with them he feels ar
ticles to find w~hetherthey will hurt him.
He smells every new object very thor
oughly to decide whether it is good or
bad.
Danish pork is preferred to any other
in Europe, so the United States minister
in Copenhagen reports. This is because
the hogs of Denmark are not so large or
A new breed of cattle is now being
tested in this country on its merits for
dairy qualities. It comes from Schles-
wig-Holstein, and is called the Angeln.
Corncobs as food are about equal in
nutritive properties to oat straw. Grind
the whole ears of corn up unshelled,
when you desire to use the cob. Its
chief value is to give bulk to concen-
trated food.
The same quantity Of feed that makes
n pound of butter will produce two
pounds of cheese or one pound of steer

Woman's Work on the Farm.

The National Stockman suggests that
women ought to pay more attention to the
care of young stock on the farm because
they are better adapted to it and have more
patience.
Just So. In the same line allow us to
suggest that mel are much better adapted
to carrying in wood and water, to carrying
out ashes and Stops than the women are,
and it would be a great accommodation to
the women if the practice were generally
INDUCED in. But it does not prevail very
extensively. The women have enough to
do without playing wet nurse to all the
motherless lambs and calves on the place,
and their work is harder for them than the
farmers work is for him.
It is all very we'll to talk about woman's
superior patience-we know all about that.
But until she evolutes into a being with a
spring steel back, and one that never re-
quires sleep or rest, it is a work of superero-
cation to invent new fields of labor for her.

A Novel Castor.

A useful castor of novel form is being
used in England. 1t is intended to obviate

construction of castors where the roller is
carried on a crank swivel arm which is
easily broken off. The center pin of the
roller bearing is fixed in a small plate 70.

in the body of the castor.
The plate named, when pushed round
into any position, rests on the base of the

quite free to move in any direction, thor.

In fact, a we'll supported universal joint.
The castor is a great improvement on the
old types.-Boston TRANSCRIPT.

A Homemade Furniture Polish,

Many good housekeepers are often at a
great loss in knowing how to keep var
nished furniture, and the kind generally
known as "oil finished" looking fresh and
new, without going to the expense of hav-
ing it revarnished or gone over by a finish
er. Here is a never failing polish: After
thoroughly busting the article and clean
ing off whatever specks may be on it, she
should mix and apply the following: Take
one %teaspoonful of pure cider vinegar and
add to it one gill of pure raw linseed oil.
Shake thoroughly until mixed.
Apply with a soft wooden rag, rubbing
gently. 1t is only necessary to dampen
the rag with the mixture and not to
thoroughly wet it. 1t soon dries and leaves
the article with a bright, new face. This
preparation has the advantage of not gum
ming-but giving a fresh look to every ar
ticle Of furniture it is applied to.-New
York Journal.

HACKNEY HORSE SOCIETY.
American Horsemen Are to Go In for
Hackney Rre<dinr.

American Horsemen Are to Go In for
Hackney Breeding.
DR.. William Seward Webb, of New
York, secretary of the newly formed
Hackney. Horse association, issues the
following circular to those interested in
the rearing and Improvement of this fine
saddle and coach animal:
The books Of the American Hackney
Horse society being now open, the secre-
tary will be pleased to receive applica-
cations for entry Of horses in volume i
Of the American Hackney Stud Book"
to be issued in July of the present year.
It is the wish of the directors that in
formation regarding the objects Of the
society be brought to the attention of
reliable breeders and owners of hackney
horses, with a view of securing their in
terest and cooperation.
There is no doubt that the hackney
comes to fill a long existent want for a
I'M harness horse, and in the next
twenty years it's breeding will be fol-
lowed closely in this country with a view
Of placing it in the front rank among
coachers as we'll as saddlers. There will
also be a great demand for books about
them and lists Of places where they can
be purchased, and besides the protection
Of the breed by registration of them in
IT'S stud book it will be one of the OBJ
jects of the society to spread broadcast
information about the horse and its uses,
so as to make Americans as familiar
with the type as they are with the trot-
ter and thoroughbred.
By a perusal of the constitution you
will notice that the society is established
"not for gain," but to improve the breed
and promote the breeding of the hack
ney, to compile and publish a stud book,
and to hold shows, etc. It will also be
noticed that the best element in the Ma
tional Horse Show association, the
Riding club and the Coaching club is
represented on our membership list, and
we believe there is strong reason to hope
that the society will obtain in a very
short time in this country the influence
and standing of the parent organization
in Europe.
1t will be noticed that the qualifca-
lions for entry are drawn on very gener-
GUS lines, as the idea is to bring into
registry every animal that can be clas-
sifed as a hackney at the present time in
the country. Later on, if it is deemed
advisable, the requirements for registry
will be as exact as in the European stud
book. It will be seen that no horse bred
in Europe car be registered in the Amer
lean stud book unless it is fully regis
tered in the English stud book, and the
transfer certificate from the English stud
book must accompany the application in
every instance. Isend you one of our
application forms for entry of mare and
stallion, from which you will observe
that for horses foaled in the United
States the requirements are as strict as
can be reasonably desired and will cover
all the points necessary to make the rec
ord most reliable.
The rules Of registration, entry blanks
and other documents of interest to
breeders of hackneys will be sent to all
who apply.

There is sometimes an element of fierce
ness in the energy of children. They are
not only lively and active and noisy, but
they are aggressively so. They are not sat-
isfed without constant attention and SYM
pathy. Their elders must look at that,
know this and praise the other; and their
placidity being continually stirred, the ell
ders get weary of schooling their souls to
patience.
> This aggressive energy is a terrible strain
on rasped nerves and a tired body. 1t is in
such moments of stress of spirit that the
mother makes the hasty, impatient speech,
and then, with self reproach does for the
child tenfold more than she ought to pun
ish herself for the brief sin.
1t is true, however some may exclaim
against it, that all mothers do not merge
their whole being in motherhood. Some
times the spirit is willing but the flesh is
weak, and sometimes the spirit itself rebels.
A woman who was the mother of twelve
children brought up her sons and daugh-
tiers to honor and love her. She was a
model wife, friend and neighbor. Years
after her boys and girls had grown up and
were scattered, she confessed, II did used
to get %dreadfully tired of my childrenl"
She was a faithful mother in spite of the
4SSAAhSs pei hopo OCUCC4 CCduS vi ucI ptI-
ception of it, but she was a woman first,
and it was hard to forget that.
"Job's comforters" come around, saying:
''Think how badly you would feel if you
lost theml Think how you will regret the
trouble when they are grown up solemn
men and womenl' All that is true enough,
though, like some other truths, no present
relief. But when the infection is worst it
might afford a little help to consider what
a wonderful mercy it is that children do
have such an abundant stock of aggressive
energy to start with! What a help it is in
the chances and changes of this trouble

1t is the energetic, enthusiastic man who
keeps a bold front and a steadfast soul in

brave spirited woman who preserves a
happy, youthful heart, and meets trials and
tribulations with a smiling defiance. Yes,
the children will need through life all the
energy they can command. Let rs try to
be thankful they have such a good supply
to begin on.-Harper's Bazaar.

Behind her there came a great, tall, awk-
ward young fellow, with the baby in his
arms. He had all the awkwardness and
the clumsiness of the average young father
who goes abroad for the first time with a
baby of his own in his arms. He held it
up to his broad, full chest so gently and so
tenderly in the hollow of one of his big
red hands, a frail, helpless little bundle of
humanity, for which that great giant
would lay down his life.
"Sha'n't l take him now2" asked the
baby's mother when she sat down.
"No, no; I'll hold him." he said, as he
gathered up the baby's long ruf1led and
tucked white skirts to keep them from
touching the car floor after be had sat
down.
"When you get tired holding him I'll
take him." she said.
ooh, he won't tire me any. He isn't any
heavier than a Bird" was the reply.
And there they sat o%blivious to every
thing and everybody but the baby, their
baby! It's coming had been to them the
beginning of the real home epic and its tiny
presence had made their little world so
much larger and brighter and sweeter thar
it was before.-Detroit Free Press.

Ammonia and Borax.

The uses Of ammonia and borax are
manifold and their value as household
agents can scarcely be overrated. In the
laundry, bath and kitchen they are grow
ing positively indispensable to the progress
sive housekeeper.
The first is a valuable cleanser and dis
infectant at the same time. By those who
wish to do their work in the quickest and
most efectual way these remarkable facili-
tating agents are employed. AS toilet ar
ticles they have no superior. A little am
monia in the bath will keep the skin
healthy, de%liciouslY sweet and clean, firm
and fresh looking. It is found in many
shampoo mixtures, and is a thorough
cleanser of the hair and scalp.
Borax water is also excellent for wash
ing the hair. Many prefer it for the face,
as it renders the water very soft and leaves
the cuticle smooth as velvet. Weak am
monia water will clean hair brushes very
rapidly and keep the bristles white and
stiff. Weak borax water is a good denti-
frice.
Almost every housewife who has an in
%clination toward window flower culture
knows the efficacy as a fertilizer of a few
drops of ammonia put in the water twice a
week for plants. -SprinSield Homestead.

How the French Baby Is Reared.


The French baby used to wear a multi
pllcity of caps-a small, close cap of fine
linen, over which was a second of light
flannel, and over that a third of some light
and ornamental stuff; now the caps are
being discarded, and baby goes openly and
BADLY bareheaded. There is, however,
one %infantile institution to which well-to-
do French folk cling ob%stinately, and that
is the foster mother, or wet nurse. The
institution had it's origin ages ago. 1t was
under the early Bourbon kings that the
practice first became established of send
ing infants into the country, to some we'll
known dependent of the house, to be
nursed and fed and brought up.
That is why one reads so much in French
literature of foster brothers and foster Sis
tiers, who were the peasant children brought
up in the same lap and at the same breast
as the young lords and ladies'. The wet
nurse who lived in the family was-and is
still-commonly a Burgundian, an ample,
handsome and good natured type of wom-
an, something like our own woman of
Devonshire. The fine Burgundian nurse
is still a feature of Partisan life, with her
black eyes, her rich color and her opulent
form, her red cloak, her full bordered cap
and her long, for cling ribbons.-Strand

How to Brush the Hair.

In the care of the hair it is important to
brush it thoroughly on the wrong side"
For instance, when the hair is worn rolled
back from the face it should be parted and
brushed, and if the couture is low the hair
should be combed up and also we'll brushed.
Attention to this seemingly trifing detail,
and to having the scalp massage daily, will
insure young, bright hair to elderly people.

Women Should Be Businesslike.

Why can't womenbe businesslike? The
woman who asks for employment begins,
Il have two children to support, and you
know that is uphill work, and SO l am sure
you will wish to find something l can do"
The uncommonly sensible woman stops at
this point. The average woman goes on:
tits only four years since l was comfort
ably situated. Nobody ever thought it
would be necessary for me to turn my hand
to anything"
Is it not possible for a woman to under
stand that the size of her family does not
concern her employer? Can she not further
strain her intellect to grasp the fact that
the wealth or poverty of her late husband
or father is not a matter Of the least inter-
est to him? Is it asking too much to ex.
pect that she find out for herself some
thing she can do and stand on her merits
as a factor of the business situation?
Further, is it not a matter of Importance
that women should see that by asking
work on the score of charity they give en-
ployers excuse for offering low wages and
so reduce the standard not only for other
women, but for men? Finally, has any
body a moral or an economic right to bring
up girl without considering that it may
some time be necessary for her to turn her
hand to something.-New York Recorder.

Mulligatawney.

Mulligatawney soup owes its somewhat
outlandish name to the tricky restaurateurs
of a hundred years ago, who managed
under this name to introduce into. popular
favor the somewhat familiar curry soup Of
India. ~Mulligatawney literally means
pepper water" and there was no especial
reason for giving this soup the name. It
may be made of either the breast of veal,
chicken or rabbit as a foundation. A gen.
uine Mulligatawney formerly owed its ex-
cellence to rabbit stock. For practical pur-
poses, however. it is usually made of veal
stock.
To make the soup, slice and fry three
small onions, put two tablespoonful of
minced ham in the saucepan with the
onions, and add half a fowl and half a
Glove of garlic; let the whole fry till the
meat Is a little brown. Then pour over it
two quarts of veal stock, and let the soup
simmer gently for about an hour. Add an
even tablespoonful Of curry powder and an
ounce of almonds which have been pounded
to a paste and the juice of half a lemon.
The soup is always served with boiled rice
and some East Indian chutney. Picked
mangoes are considered the most suitable
to serve with Mulligatawney. This soup is
not strained.-New York Tribune.
