A LADY CHESTERFIELD.

Here is an extract from letter written
by mother to her daughter. 1t is its
own comment:
"DEAR DAUGHTER-I want to tell you
a secret. The way to make yourself
pleasing to Others is to show that you
care for them. The whole earth is like
the MILLER OF Mansfield, who cared for

cared for him. Let every one see that
you do care for them by showing them
the small, sweet courtesies of life, in
which there is no parade. This consti-
tutes the sum total of all the witchcrafit
of women. "-Dctroit Free Press,

The Supreme Court of lndiaaa has
affirmed point of railroad law that
is important, thinks the Boston Guilt
vator, in all agricultural communities.
A farmers COW strayed on the railroad
track and was killed by II train. lie
sued the company for the value of his
COW, and the company sued him for
damages to the locomotive. The suit
has gone through all the courts, until
now the Supreme Court of the state
has decided, in effect, that it is as much
farmers business to keep his cows
oil the railroad track rs it was the
business of the railroad company to
keen its locomotives out of his pasture
lots, and that if either o;raycd on the
property of the other their owner was
liable for the damage cluscd. Con-
scqucntly, the farmer pays for the
damage to the locomotive, and the
company does not pay for the COW.

CAULIFLoWER.
()ZSOIA.

This excellent vegetable is not used
nearly as much in this country rs II is III
others, and is very rarely seen In the
farmers garden or on his table. While
it is related to the cabbage, yet it IS
much more delicate IN flavor and moro
easily digested. If once tried, it is quite
sure to become favorite vegetable. Be-
fore cooking caulfiower, the heads
should be placed top down in cold salt
and water and allowed to soak for an
hour. This will drive out any insects
that may be among the flowers. II you
wish to boil the heads whole, as is a
favorite method, wrap it in piece OF
cheese cloth and put it into rapidly boil
ing saltcd water, enough to cover 1t. A
little sweet milk added to the water will
tend to keep the cauliaower white. Let
it boil from twenty 10 thirty minutes,
according to the size of the head. As
soon as a fork will pierce the stem, take
it up, drain and serve with little melted
buttcg poured over it, OF, what we think
is better, hot sweet cream, slightly saltcd.
1t is also nice served with a tomato-saucc
poured around, not over, the head after
it is in the dish for the table. Tnc to-
mato sauce is simply stewcd tomatoes
seasoned, strained and thickcncd with a
tablespoonful of flour. II curry powder
ia liked, small half tcaspoontul OF 1t
may be added to the tomato-saucc. -

According to the american Art Printer,
you should put the engraving on clean
board and cover it with thin layer of
common salt, irely pulycrized; then
squeeze lemon juice upon the salt until
considerable portion of it is dissolved.
After every par: of the picture has been
subjected to this treatment, elevate one
end OF the board so that it will form an
angle of about forty.tive degrees with the
horizon. From u tea kettle or other
suitable vessel pour on the engraving boil
ing water until the salt aud lemon juice
are entirely washed of. The engraving
will then be perfectly clean and free from
stain. 1t must be dried on the bolrl or
on some smooth surface gradually, not
by the fire or sun. 1mmerse the print
