The formal conference between the
United States and Canada in regard
to reciprocal traderelations began in
Washington last week The first
proposition came from the Canadian
officials, who desire to make an ar
rangement which will weaken the
strong annexation sentiment devel-
oping among our northern neigh
bors. The United States government
is willing to enter into an arrange
ment, if one can be made which will
advance the interests of the United
States. Our ports will not be opened
for Canadian products without the
granting of a full equivalent.

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

Tools exposed to the sun should be
painted with light-colored paints, as
these reflect, and do not absorb, the
heat.
Cranberry Tarts: Stew your cram
berries with sugar in the proportion of
a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit,
and merely enough water to melt the
sugar. When they are done set them
away to get cold. Make some shells of
puff paste and fill with the fruit
Boston Budget.
Quick Slaw: Chop half fine head
of cabbage, sprinkle pepper and salt
upon il and pour over it vinegar suffi-
Gent to flavor it. Beat up the yollSs of
two eggs, mix with cup of rich milk
and two tablespoonfuls of fresh butter;
boil the above and pour over the cab
bage.-Detroit Free Press.
Baked Custard: Beat four eggs very
light, or until they do not string, and
stir them into quart of rich, sweet
milk; add sugar to taste and teaspoon
full of extract of vanilla, or whatever
flavor is preferred. Either bake in cups
or in pudding-disb set in a pan of wa
ter in moderate oven. BE careful to
remove before the custard becomes wa
terry. Try it by thrusting a spoon in
one of the cups; if not firm, bake a little
longer.-Orange Judd Farmer.
For tired eyes take cup brimful of
water and add sufficient salt to be per-
ceptible to the taste. Hold your eyes
to the water SO that the lashes touch it;
then wink once and the eyes viii be
suffused. Do not wipe them. This so
refreshes the eyes that they feel like
new. Do not forget the good old rule
-as soon as you feel your eyes stop
using them. BY the above treatment,
one need waste very little time waiting
for tired eyes.-Old Homestead.
German Roast Fowl: Truss a fowl
for roasting, stuff the breast with grated
bread, sage, salt, pepper and butter,
and fill the body with chestnuts, boiled
tender, peeled, then slightly roasted.
Roast the fowl in a brick oven. Have u
dozen more chestnuts peeled and roast
ed; stew them in pint of gravy, sea-
son with pepper and salt, thiclxen with
piece of butter rolled in flour, and boil
until it is smooth. Fry half dozen
sausages, pour the sauce into the dish
and place the fowl in it, with the sau-
sages around the fowl Garnish with
slices of lemon.-Housekeep
Spanish Cream: Make a custard of
the yoll1 of three eggs, one cup of sugar
and one quart of milk. Dissolve a
quarter of a box of gelatine in half a
cup of milk. When cold stir in a wine
glass of wine, one tablespoonful of
flour, and flavor with vanilla. Add
this to the custard. Pour the mixture
into a deep dish. Whip the whites of
the eggs TO IA stiff froth, add half cup
of sugar, and drop on the top of the
custard in spots. Place in the oven to
become light brown, then take out.
place in the cold to solidify, and serve
very cold. This is dish that can be
made some time before wanted, and is
nice for company tea.-Detroit Free
Press.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

MILK tainted by feeding turnips may
be rendered pure by heating to one
hundred and fifty degrees when fresh
from the COW.
IT may be an open question whether
it will pay all farmers TO feed cooked
food TO their hogs, but there
no doubt that cooked food will make
more flesh than uncool1ed, because a
larger proportion will be digested and
assimilated.
APPLES grown in grass ground will
keep longer than the same fruit grown
on cultivated land. Late keeping va
rieties, therefore, should always be
grown in grass lands. So said Mr..
Hadwen, at recent meeting of the
Massachusetts horticultural society.
WHEN the horses head is held up by
the overchecl rein it endeavors to find
relief by throwing its head up, in order
to relieve the pressure on the mouth,
and to relax the muscles of the neck.
The horse is in constant torture until
the rein is loosened, and at times the
pain causes loss of appetite.
IN experiments made in feeding cows
at the Iowa experiment station 1t was
demonstrated that COW will eat sew
enty-fve pounds of green food daily, il
kept i'm the stable, and q grain ration
added. and that cows, when fed on corn,
peas and clover in the stable, will
give more milk than when fed on a
good blue grass pasture.

A TWILIGHT MISTAKE.
Harold the Bold Makes the BIunder

%
His Lifetime.
"There you are, my darling" whis-
pered Harold the Bold as he stepped in
to the conservatory of his inamorata's
home where the gas was turned down
very low, not for economy, but because
he was expected.
She was looking out of the window,
her fair form outlined like an Exquisite
shadow in a delightful bah raleeah. ="
~ was afraid it was that old cat your
mother" he said, as his arm stole about
her well-whaleboned waist.
''Do we then look so much alil1e?" she
asked, coldly.
''Only in height, my darling. Yours
is not the scraggy face of middle age,
but the sweet. winsome features of
early youth. One kiss, dearest. and
then have plan to unfold which viii

You keep your face turned away, my
angel? Has your mother been nagging
you about me?"
Take thati' exclaimed his lady love,
and instantly Harold the Bold saw mil
lions of stars where there had been but
one before, and realized that he had
struck a snag. and that the snag had
struck him.
''Elope with my daughter, will You?
/ guess not, young man, while / live to
protect her. Take that"
And as the bric-a-brac began to
move he felt that he had loved wisely
but too well. and that he had made the
mistake of his lifetime.
He left the house then-because he
could see no way by which he could
take it with him.-Detroit Free Press

A home tool-chest Is an essential part
of the outfit of kitchen. Every house
keeper should be provided with a thor
oughly good hammer of ordinary size in
addition TO the tack-hammer; two good
screw-drivers-one of medium and one
of small size; a saw of size convenient
for woman To use. and not too large TO
saw ham bone; a gimlet, a file,
wrenches, and boxes of nails and screws
in several sizes These articles should
be kept in a stout box with cover, and
should be out of the reach of wandering
children seeking what mischief they can
devise. However useful manual instruc-
ton may be to the rising generation, no
housekeeper wishes that the window
lodges and other parts of the woodwork
of her house should be field for such
practice Moreover, if the tools are
handled by everyone they are apt to
get out of order. Young gentlemen
with aspirations toward carpentry
should be supplied with tool chests Of
their own, and be given suitable place
in which to practice.-N. Y. Tribune,

A woman can not work at dressmas-
ing, tailoring, or any other sedentary
employment, ten hours a day, year in
and out, without enfeebling her consti-
tuition, impairing her eyesigbt, and
bringing on complication of COM
plants; but she can sweep, cook, wash,
and do the duties of a well-ordered
ho1se, with modern arrangements, and
grow healthier every year. The times
in New England when all women did
housework a part of every day were
the times when all women were healthy.
At present, the heritage of vigorous
muscles, firm nerves, strong backs and
cheerful physical life has gone from
American women, and is taken up by
Irish women. A thrifty young man |
have lately heard of married rosy
young Irish girl, quite to the horror of
his mother and sisters, but defended
himself by the following very conclu-
sive logic: IF / marry ar American

care of her, and can not afford to sup
port both. Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Dressy neckwear of all sorts is prom
ised an unprecedented run of favor for
the coming season. There is reason for
the most devout thanlfulness that at
last the untidy, half-dressed spectacle
of women without collars is at an end.
There has not for half a century been
any fashion more demoralizing or more
unbecoming. 1t has been productive of
an amount of carelessness among grow
ing girls that it will take years of train
ing to overcome. There are many
daughters of respectable families who
appear in the morning-indeed, at any
time of the day-without ruching or
other finish in the neck of the dress.
Such fashions as these may be criticised,
not merely as foolish caprice, but as
having decidedly injurious tendencies,
especially in view of the fact that they
let down the standard of neatness, care
and daintiness among young girls.-N.

The Peculiar style OF "a Late French
Story-Writer.
Not long ago the Paris newspapers
recorded the death and cremation of NJ.
Jules Stapleaux, a writer of romances
which were published as feuilletons at
the foot of the columns of French coun-
try journals.
Stapleaux was well known to the lit
erary men of Paris, who describe him
as one of the brightest of conversation
alists, but probably the worst story
writer in France. The badness. from
literary point of view, of his stories was
well-l1nown to Stapleaux himself, who
took jokes on the subject good-natur-
edlv.
Here are some sentences quoted from
this singular mans stories:
"The viscount wore a very short waist
coat. and pantaloons of the same color.
After the death of his greatly loved
wife, the general aged rapidly. At She
time which our story records he was
sixty-fve, but he appeared just twice
as old"

to stop their papers in large numbers;
when, one day, the proprietor of the
journal came to the author of the I'M
popular romance.
Look hcre!n he exclaimed. '.Your
story has been running six months, and
bids fair to last forever. The subscrib-
ers are in rebellion"
"Well?" said Stapleaux, innocently.
''Well!" l will give you just three
days to wind the thing up!'
''Impossible! just think of it. The
countess is at Clermont, Jean Duroc Is
away off in Martinique, Cherbaty, the
spy, is on the point of being arrested.
How in the world am | going TO bring
all this to wind-up in three chapters?'
