A sad story Of Real Life.

A pitiful story in real life rs that Of
Frederick Walters, an old German lens
polisher Of Philadelphia, and his old
crazy wife. The old man, after suffer
ing tortures from cancer of the stom-
ach, died two weeks ago while sitting
in chair near window. From the
moment Of his death until the discov-
cry was made few days ago that he
had died, the demented wife had placed
the same plate Of victuals on the table
before him day after day. When in
the end she was told that her husband
was dead, she replied "Get the ash
man to take him away III the ash bar

impaired few years ago, at the death
of her only daughter, and she spent
her time sitting Mt an open window
waiting for her child to come back. A

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Always broil beefsteak over O char
coal fire.
Never roll a glove. Smooth out the
fingers and lay them straight in box
or drawer.
Canned fruit that has been left over
should be carefully watched at this
season of the year.
Silk handkerchiefs and ribbons
should be washed in salt and water and
ironed wet to obtain the best results.
All traces of mud can easily be re-
moved from black clothing by rubbing
the spots with a raw potato cut in
half.
A sack of the best salt standing
where there is smell of fish or other
Objectionable odor will absorb the
flavor.
Never wear woolen gown in the
kitchen. 1t retains odors and smoke
and soon becomes offensive as well as
shabby.
A poultice made of Indian meal,
covered with Young Hyson ten,
moistened with hot water aud laid on
burn will relieve the pain in five
minutes.
Molasses rubbed on grass stains on
white dresses or undergarments will
bring out the stains when the clothing
is washed. Soaking in sweet milk will
also remove grass stains.
There is nothing like hot water and
the rubber bandage for a sprain. The
hot water soothes laeersted ligaments; /;
the bandage prevents swelling. Lini-

WHEAT FOR YOUNG CHICKENS.

il is surprising that so much soft
feed is given to young chickens, and
that, 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 arc 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 for
making hens lay. In spring if fed ia
young chickens the hens will thrive SO
on their wheat that they will often
begin egg production before the chicks
are old enough to care for themselves.

RECIPE For PEACH sronrcAKr.

Use canned peaches and prepared
flour for this dish. Chop quarter of
pound of butter into quart of pre-
pared flour; quickly stir into it
enough sweet milk to make soft
dough; pat this into two round cakes
upon buttered tin pie-plstes and bake
them in hot oven. Meantime open
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 fork, butter the inside, divide the
cut utpeaches 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

DR1NcING UP COLT AS lie SHOULD GO.

BRINGING UP COLT AS lie SHOULD GO.
If you have ever seen little colt
running after his mother in the
meadows, you know how very funny
he looks He has long legs that seem
very crooked and uncertain, for they
point in all four directions at once. He
has no name to speak of, and only n
stubby little tail. His coat is very
rough, for he has never been rubbed
down with brush, and though You
might look at him great many times,
you would never believe that he could
grow into such a big, strong, hand
some horse as his owner tells you that
he will become some day.
The most important day in a colt g
life is when he first learns to carry Il
a burden upon his back A small lap
robe is strapped upon him, and he is
then let loose to tear up and down the
fields and shake it of if he can. Then,
a double blanket is strapped across
him like saddle, and after while he
can bear the weight of the saddle it.
self, and then the weight of boy.
Shoeing him is very troublesome, for
he often refuses to walk after it, and
will roll around ON his back holding
his feet up in the mir in the most pitt,
full way, as if he did not know what to
do with his new shoes. Teaching him
to "back" is accomplished by hitching
team TO tho back of the wagon to
which Mr.. Colt is harnessed. At the
word ''back, somo one starts up the
team from behind and Mr.. Colt il
"backed" until he learns the use OF
the word. His training is not very
pleasant for him. But if he is bright,
intelligent horse, he will learn nll
there is to learn within year after he
has got his growth or by the time he is
three years old. He will then be very
frisky and inclined to be scared al
trihes. But if he is shown just wha'
they are, he usually changes his minC
and behaves in a sensible way. Train
ing a colt Is easier than training any
other animal, because the horse is nat
urally the most intelligent of all duml
animals. New York Ledger.

BAKED TOMATOES.

To prepare baked tomatoes select
those which are smooth and medium
sized. Make small aperture at the
stalk end, remove the pulp and seeds
with a spoon and put into sieve TO
drain. Chop equal parts of cold
chicken and veal and one green pep
per add well beaten egg, half a cup
of grated bread crumbs, piece of but
ter, pepper, salt, sage and a suspicion
of onion; mix well together, moisten
with some of the juice and stuff into
the tomatoes. Bake half an hour in n
moderate oven. Serve each tomato on

CONVENIENT FARM TOOLS.

Every farmer should own few car
penter's tools, not necessarily an ex-
pensive outfit, but at least common
hand saw and possibly rip saw, a
brace and a full set of bits, q one-inch
and a two-inch anger, one smoothing
plane, one jack plane, a iointer plane,
good steel square, a drawing knife
and a claw hammer. There should be
a work bench and substantial iron
wise. With these any farmer can save
the cost every year. American Agri-
culturist.

nelltMnre No Lon ger Made.

Delftware is kind of pottery which
was manufactured in Delft, Holland,
from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth
Century. The industry is now prac-
tically extinct in Holland. It closely
resembles porcelean in appearance. 1t
was brought to this country 10y the
early Dutch and English settlers. In
those days it was not considered par
ticularly valuable. Descendants of the
colonial families prize the rare speci-
mems of the ware which still remain in
their hands very highly, and it is diff
cult to purchase any genuine speci-
mems. New York Sun.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Breed only to pure bred sires.
Aluminium horse shoes are coming to
the fore.
Cabbage plants for late planting
may be started in the open air.
Prices for thoroughbred stock have
evidently fallen off several points.
Feed work horses oats, bran, hay
and other forage ard not so much
corn.
The culture of fruit may be simple
and easy, but 1t must be done thor
oughly.
Just as well have two crops from
most of the garden. 1t helps to make
the garden pay.
Plant corn, peas, beans, as we'll as
radishes and lettuce, at intervals for a
succession of crops.
The harder and barer the surface
around a bearing plum tree the better
it is, as the tree needs but little cult
walton.
Wherever the stock does not hold
the cion firmly the place should be
wrapped with cord covered with graft
ing wax.
Sprouts which start to grow on the
stock below the graft should be always
pinched off and be kept in check. If
this is not done it saps the vitality of
the growing gratis.
Western fruit growers are irrigating
their orchards with the aid of the
water-wheel. 1t is expected that fruit
growing on the dry lands along the
rivers will be rev olutionized by the
use of the water-wheel.
A proper selection of food, prepared
in n proper manner, has much to do
with keeping fowls in the pink of CON
lition, stimulating the egg organs to
greater activity, and sustaining the
strain on the function of egg produc-
tiOn.
Some people like to help chickens
out OF the shell when they hatch with
difficulty. 1t is not safe to do much in
this direction; break the shell enough
for the chick TO get his head out where
he can breathe, and leave the rest to
nature.
Joseph Arch, the English labor lead
er, looks for prosperity to farmers in
a reversion to old ways-farms to be
broken into small holdings, while farm
ers and their families give personal at
| tention to the details which turn loss
into profit.
For the planter who looks after his
trees and cultivates them carefully a
small tree will bear just as early and
prove as valuable as the largest But
| if the trees are to be planted in sod
| land, without cultivation or attention,
big trees will stand the best chance of
living.
Chickenr, when first Matched, need
no food for twenty-four hours and will
not suffer even for thirty-six hours
without it; moreover, there are often
some that hatch a day later than the
others. 1t is, therefore, the best way
TO keep them on the nest or in the in
cubator for one day after the first ones
hatch.
Turkeys are good farm property il
the stock is vigorous and the birds
heavy. Some of us breed them so long
without changing the male that they
become delicate and difficult to rear,
