1t is not the washing but the drying
and ironing that is so disastrous to the
beauty of fine handkerchiefs, which UNI
less great care be taken, socn become
sadly dragglcd and worn. A most SEN
sible plan, and one which is being
adopted by the most elegant women, is
to superintend the washing of your
handl1erchicfs by having in your bou-
doir small basin, especially set aside
for the purpose, in which the dainty
pieces of lace and cambria may be
washed with your own hands. Then
comes the drying, and, thanks to some
womanly genius, this may be easily
accomplished. A handkerchief drying
glass is so easily made that it is within
the reach of all. A square piece o
glass larger than handkcrchiefs i;
bound with ribbon, upon which some
suitable motto is worked, and silk cort
sewn securely on the two upper corners
su.pends the novel affair. After wash
| ing you kerchiefs, rinse well, and ther
stretch them, one ut time, upon The
glass, patting them down smoothly anC
picking out each scallop and corner
with care. Hang the glass in draught
and in short time you will find you
handkerchief cxquisitely dried. -Jen

WINTER STABLING.

Keep the Cows Clean and They VIII Ro
turn Goodly Yield.
AS soon as the cows are turned out
remove the eXcremcnts and scrape the
floor until it is perfectly c,can, and
leave it without litter until just before
the COWS or cattle are to be tied up for
the night The floor will dry quicker
if left uncovered than otherwise, and
then there will be no danger Of litter
being frozen down. When the stable
cleaning is not well performed particles
OF manure become frozen to the floor as
solid as stone and are a constant an
noyance until warm weather cones.
Like the rolling of SNOWFALL, more and
more becomes added to the Instructions
upon the floor, until the animals have
to lie upon rough surface, and double
the time spent every morning in trying
to clear out the impediments that is or
dinarily required to do the work of
stable cleaning complete. Before the
stock is returned give the floor good
coating of cut straw, chatf or some
thing of the kind. This will prevent
the animals from slipping and also
keep the droppings from coming in di.
rect contact with the floor, so as to
freeze down. Where manure becomes
frozen down, as it will sometimes in
extreme cold weather, in spite of the
precautions used, take an old AK and
remove it at once and apply double
amount of bedding until there is a
change in the weather. AS rule,
never neglect the stables, for the least
work is required when every morning
the labor is performed in the best pos
sible acknowledgements Voice,

MICROBES.

Bacteria are micro-organisms that exist
everywhere in countless numbers. They
are of many different species, but fortu-
nately, only a limited number of these
species are detrimental to human beings.
It is thought now by scientists that many
processes of digestion areassisted by these
microbes, and that in some cases they are
absolutely necessary to preserve good
health. 1t is only when they attack the
ileum, or lower intestine, that they become
dangerous. They can be expelled from
the system by mild Laxative like the
Laxative Gum Drops. These gum drops
contain nothing deleterous. They are
mild and gentle; they contain no taste OF
medicine, but they act upon the liver,
stomach and bowels, expeling all undl-
gested food and cleansing the whole sys-
TEN. They are thus certain remedy for
Indigestion, heart burn, flatulence and dys-
pepsia. They can be taken without the
Slightest danger, for they contain nothing
deleterious. In order to get the best re-
suits, they should be taken every night for
several nights. When this is done, the
patient will find himself entirely relieved.
Get them of any dealer. The small boxes
are 10 cents, large size Is cents.

The Lady and tho Elephant,

The London courts will be called upon
soon to decide one of the most curious
cases that ever puzzled legal brains.
A lady was seated few weeks ago in
the geological gardens, and for Sc
curity's sake removed from her pocket
to her lap purse containing six SOW
ereigns. The show elephant shortly
afterward came on his round, and mis-
taking the brown purse for a bun,
gracefully transferred it to its trunk
and thence into its stomach The
management of the gardens were at
once appealed to, and emetics applied,
but no more than two of the sovereigns
and munched bits of The purse were re-
covered. The solicitors for the lady
are now, therefore, suing the geological
society for the missing four sovereigns,
ana, seeing that the society possesses
the elephant, and the elephant DOS
sesses the sovereigns, the plaintiff
claims to have a clear ease.-Loudon

How to Salt Pork.

In sailing pork do not use the old
pork barrel without thorough cleans
ing. This may be done by washing
and soaking with water made strong
with the common washing soda, which
is cheap, and can be found at almost
any grocery store. A better way, if
the barrel has been in use long. and il
it has ever had meat or brine become
tainted in it, will be TO fill it full Of
dry earth, and allow it to stand a
week or more, during which time the
earth will have absorbed much of the
grease and all of the odor that may
have penetrated into the wood. Then
the soda washing will cleanse it thor
