MELONS FOR TABLE USE,

OF all the summer fruits of America
none are moro perfect or more popular
than melons, either waternelons or musk
melons. Both are raised in such profu.
sion as to be within the reach of every
one. They should be cool when eaten,
and both are good until they begin to
decay, although muskmelons deteriorate
as they become too ripe. Later we shall
give the detail of choosing and keeping
melons, now we have space only to say
that unless melon can remain near the
ice or in ice water for several hours, it
will cool the best wrapped in wet cloth
and set in draft, the cloth to be kept
wet. If ice is scarce salt may be put
into water for cooling watermelon,
providing there is no cut or break in the
skin. Never put ice in a cut musk
melon unless you wish to destroy the
flavor; lay each half, skin down, upon
cracked ice, if you wish, but never let
the ice come in contact with the cut sur.
face. Iced melons are acceptable at all
times, even upon the dinner table; there
their place is after the soup and fish, be-
fore the entrees or side. dishes. - Chicago

TO PROTECT WINTER CLOTHING.

Now is the time Of year when the moth
is to be feared, and every good house
wife, and the countless young men who
live in boarding houses look around for
some means to keep the insect out of
winter clothing. The present hot
weather will lead to the disoarding of
the last vestigc of winter clothing, and
people who cannot afford to have their
winter goods spoiled during the summer
should at once take steps to prevent the
moth from getting in them, for this
weather is just the kind to make him
lively.
After the clothes have been carefully
wrapped up or slowed away in drawers,
a small quantity of camphor and turpon.
tine placed in each bundle or drawer,
will have the desired effect in keeping
the moth at distance. Most people

prevention of moth, because of their

turpentine, while nothing is more efTcc.

A SHORT SERMON FOR wAsupAv.

It is well to remember that too much
bluing renders clothes yellow after a
time. Inexperienced or careless servants
think the more buing in the water the
better for the wash and it is difficult
matter TO convince them that the clothes
will look far better il only a small guam
tity be used. Usually half tablespoon.
full to tub of water is sufficient. It
should always be diluted before it is put
in the tub, if not thoroughly mixed be-
fore the clothes are put in, unsightly
streaks will bc the result. If the clothes
are soaked over night one tablespoonful
of pure water ammonia in each tub of
of water will materially lessen the labor
of washing. .-Neo York Journal.

HOG CHOLERA.

many points IN regard to the disease
known as "hog cholera" for it seems to
be manifested in nearly as many ways as
ever the ''hornail' in cattle was, and as
that has been found to be in 10 way a
disease of the horns, though the horn
may become diseased in consequence of
some forms Of it, so the cholera is not
the disease, but symptom of the efforts

ease. And quite as often the first symp-
tom of these diseases are constipation
rather than securing, but it does not at

gestible food may originate diseases that
are often called "hog cholera" " and most
frequent are the feeding of grass or

Language of the Brutes.

1t is announced as a new discovery
that monkeys have a language of their
own, vocal sounds to each of which an
idea is attached. That is nothing new.
Every observant farmers boy knows that
the cat bird talks, and the crow and
every other animal. and it does not take
much study to learn what each means by
its words. You know what they say
for "come," for "get out" for "here is
something good to eat" for "run, there
is danger" for "Pm hungry" "Cluck
cluck" says the mother hen, q every
chickling will run full tilt to get the bug
or crumb which she says she has. Then
"chir-r-r," and the chicks will scoot un-
der the bushes. Hunters used TO call
the moose and the deer and the wolf.
The stag moose required two kinds of
nvtation-frst, the call of his mate,
which would bring him toward the hunt-
er, but not near enough for shot, aud
then the challenge of his rival, which
would bring him with plunging charge.

"Rur ONE SALVATION. y

The work for personal temperance is in
competent hands, and is energetically pushed.
From ther nature, all the social, moral, re-
hgious and business forces are arrayed
against intemperance, and their effectiveness
is increasing steadily but there is one class
that all these efforts cannot reach. We refer
to that too numerous class who, through
weakness, or Ignorance or bad surroundings
are outside the pale of the moral aud social
and other forces which are potent with those
on higher plane. For this class there is
but one salvation-that is through prohibi.
tlon, to crush the traffic and render it iuipos.
slble for them to become the slaves OF drink
The problem then presents itself in this form
shall the State remedy their lack of ability
or desire to control the appetite for drink by
rendering it, through legal means very diff.
cult or impossible of gratificationg' Public
sentiment is growing in favor OF an afIlrma-
tive answer to this question. 1t is becoming
well understood that the increase OF crime Is
directly traceable to drink that the rapid
increase in the. percentage of the insane and
other detective classes is largely due to the
same cause; and consequently that the in
crease of the public burden of supporting
the machinery of the criminal courts and
of our penal reformatories and charitable
institutions, comes chiefly from the rum
traffic. To this is added the defiant attitude
or the rum power toward all legislation in
tended to protect society; its evasion and
defiance of laws which interfere in any way
with il, notably the Sunday laws; and its
utter unmanageableness in every way brings
men to understand that there can be but one
way of dealing with the evil--that is to
crush, destroy, exterminate it,. cause The
rum traffic is not a legitimate business. Ii
supplies no proper human need, being simply
pander to vice and crime. 1t is a minister,
to human depravity, without one redeemiug
feature or one logical excuse for existence.
The work of personal temperance needs to
be supplemented by the State reaching out
the arm of the law to pulverize the rum

auINEAs ON TIE rAnNr.

. There is no sale for Guinea fowls in
market, but the Guinea fowl is, never
theless. one OF the finest of all table
birds, possessing a certain game flavor
that is not found in other fowls. They
have full meated breasts, and possess but
a small proportion OF offal compared with
hens. If their real value for the table
were known they would sell at high
prices. On the farm they cost almost
nothing, being industrious foragers, and
there never was better insect extermi-
nator than the Guinea. Outside of the
eggs they provide, without cost, they de-
stroy thousands of insects, and though
their efforts in that direction may not be
apparent, yet the work goes on with
them constantly. They are never idle,
being engaged from early nom until
night.-Miwor and Farmer.

BoARDING TIE HELP.

Grace Perry writes to the Farm
Journal that to many farmers wife the
most disagreeable part of farming is the
taking into the family of help that is
needed. 1t is the primitive custom yet
retained in many locations, but with i'm.
proved methods of farming will come
more enlightened ideas as to the preser-
walton of the heart of the home, the wife
and the mother, and her strength will be
husbanded as we do not think of now.
1t is too precious to be wasted in prepar-
ing immense dinners for brawny men
other than her own family.
And what an absurdity to try and feed
children on food fit for hard working
men; it cannot be done. Food proper
for children would not furnish the
strength necessary for the performance
Of hard physical labor, and to feed chill
dren on the hearty food laborers need
would lead to no end of ill-heath foI
them. 1t is almost an impossibility tc
deny children food that is on the table
and to hold them to the proper diet with
things before them that they want SC
bad.
There are so many dishes that wo.
man loves to prepare for her own family
that would be silly to set before laboring
men. Dishes that would be of no more
good to them in the way of nourishmont
than so much candy, but that we love
and make good for us-such as custards
