The members Of the Gould family

taken deep interest in the affairs OF the,
little town. So when the Roxbury
Presbyterian Church, OF which the
Rev. N. a. Demarest Is pastor, was
burned down last spring, Miss Gould
decided to replace it with another

CUSHIONS upon Gnem anu cusuloulnS
the seats, until they are as comfort
able as possible.
Like many of the artists who have
apartments in the studio buildings IN
New York, Mrs. Cleveland chooses for
sofa cushions fancy silks of all kinds,
and makes them fine by bringing out
the figures in the silks until they look
like richest brocades
One of her cushions recently com
pleted she calls her "Irish cushion. -
it is of rich green silk with yellow
harps, thin outlines wrought in red
silk. Around the edge there lisa broad
putting of light green velvet. The
Irish cushion is admired by every
body and is Mrs. Cleveland's favorite
as it lies tossed into roundDess in one
of the sunniest windows of the White
House.
Another cushion is all bright red.
Mrs. Cleveland's part in making it con-
sisted merely in sewing the red cover
upon the cushion and in placing it
where it would show to the best posi-
BILE advantage with q background OF
overhanging palms and ferns.
FANCY WORK FOR CHARITY.
It is said that Mrs. Cleveland does a
great deal of work for charity fairs.

to Gray Gables. It consisted of a
glass top for O dresser, upon which
there were sketched pansies, Mr..
Cleveland's fav orite flower, and vine
of morning glories.
Another cushion has tiny four-leat
clovers upon it, which she has out
lined to bring them into prominence,
and which seem to say "Good Luck"
to the Mistress of the White House
when her eyes fall upon them in mo-
ments of leisure. .

there hangs deep fringe of lace of q
very fine pattern. The hydrangeas
are of paper, but they are very deli
cately put together and more than eff
fective in the snowy corner, which has
been selected for standing place for
the lamp.
It is said that Mrs. Cleveland used
to do great deal of embroidery upon
her own gowns, and that she even
worked the wreath of orange blossoms
and leaves that bordered the train Of
her wedding gown. However this may
be, it is certain that she can do very

Like the late Mrs Harrison, Mrs.
Cleveland works little in oils, but
like the Princess May, she is backward
about showing her handiwork, and
most OF the products of her brush are
kept hidden in the boudoir into which
few people are invited to penetrate.

WHEAT ron YOUNG cHrcKrra.

10 is surprising that so much soft
feed is given to young chickens, and
shat, too, by those who ought to know
better. Whole wheat will be readily
eaten by chicks old, and before that
time the grains pounded or cracked are
better than anything else. Because
the chicks are little it does not follow
that their digestion is weak. The first
twenty-four hours they live on the re.
MAINS of the yolk of egg, which is ex.
tremely hard to digest. Unless their
naturally strong digestion has some.
thing to work on, the chick soon be.
comes sickly, "crop bound" and dies.
Wheat is at all times the best feed fol
making hens lay. In spring if fed to
young chickens the hens will thrive 80
on their wheat that they will often
begin egg production before the chicks
are old enough to care for themselves.

like manner that is, if it refused to
drink out of natures usual course, and
h were to use all the animal force at
her command to make it drink, he
would be more gentle in his efforts.
A plan which / have successfully
used, and seen others use with the
same effect, was to get astride the
animal, exercise a little persuasion to
bring the calf to the milk bucket,
then, taking hold of its head gently,
place two fingers in it's mouth, turning
them slightly upwards, and leaving an
open space between them. If the cali
will not bend its head, draw the pail
towards the cali, let it taste the milk
and 1t will commence sucking. Now
gradually remove the fingers, and the
young animal will continue drinking
for a moment, until it suddenly re-
members that it ought to have some
thing in it's mouth besides the milk,
and will fol9w your hand until these

Use canned peaches and prepared
flour for this dish. Chop quarter of a
pound of butter into a quart of pre-
pared flour; quickly stir into it
enough sweet milk to make q soft
dough ;.pat' this into two round cakes
upon buttered tin pie-plates and bake
them in a hot oven. Meantime open
o can of peaches; reserve the finest for
the two top layers and cut the rest in
small Quarters. When the shortcakes
in the oven are done and cool enough
to handle tear them open with the aid
of q fork, butter the inside, divide the
~cutpeaches upon the two bottom layers
and arrange the fine ones on the others.
thickly dust all with sifted powdered
sugar, lay the tops upon both under
pieces and serve the shortcakes with
more sifted sugar and sweet cream.
The juice of the canned peaches, well
sweetened with powered sugar, can be
used instead of cream.-New York
