It Came Back to "LovIng Tom"

ssDo you know" said Mr.. Man to
his friend the other evening at the
roof garden, "that the boys ut the
club have merry and most distressing
find on me. 1 suppose it's QUE of the
inevitable consequences of renouncing
bachelorhood that man lays himself
open to attack from the most unsus-

"Now, loyal citizen as am, have
received a bitter blow from the United
States Government. 1t stabbed me,
using the Dead Letter Office as dag

I am going to marry. I had told only
one or two of my intimate friends of
the engagement, and we weren't going
to announce it until fall. Well, as 1

hard that day. and I used some strong

on the Aeecy clouds floating across the
blue depths of the sky, and thinking
about her, as man does, you know.
Well, I suppose I directed the letter
wrong. It never reached her. In
stead of that, q month later, came a
nasty. looking official envelope ad-
dressed to Loving Tom,' in care of
the club. The postoffice people hadn't
been able to find the girl, so they tried
to send the drivel back to the one

Puff Balls as Food,

It will surprise many to know that
the plebeian puff ball of our pastures
is good for something besides old fash
ioned styptic, smoke. and the kick OF
the small boy.
There are a number of species OF
the puff ball, varyingin shape and size
from the small white globular variety
of an inch in diameter, and the pear
shaped, to the giant pasture species
which may attain the dimensions of
football. All are edible, if gathered
at the white stage, those of yellow or
darker fracture being excluded. OF
ths esculent qualities of the larger
species, Lycoperdon giganteum, we
may Judge from the statement OF q
connoisseur. "Sliced and seasoned in
butter and salt, and fried in the pan,
no French omelet is half as good IN
richness and delicacy of flavor" NJ.
G. Cooke, the British authority, says OF
, it, "In it's young and pulpy condition
it is excellent eating, and indeed has
but few competitors for the place OF
honor at the table. "-Harper's Mags-
! zine.

TENT CATERPILIARs.

Tent caterpillars are great nuis-
ance in the orchard. One apple
grower scrapes out the nests with q
swab of burlap covered with coal tar.
He took a small rod of iron, about
three-eighths of an inch in diameter,
and had it drawn to blunt point,
and at about two inches from the
pointed end bent it at an angle of
about forty-fve degrees. He wound
this bent end firmly with burlaps, so
as to mark a conical knob extending
beyond the bend of the rod. This he
fastened to pole of proper length
extending beyond the bend of the rod,
and perhaps one and half or two
inches in diameter at the largest part.
This arrangement he fastened to q
pole of suitable length, and dipped
the knob in coal tar, then thrusting
it into the nest and using turning and
rubbing motion. Nest, worms and
all stick to the tar and are easily and
quickly destroyed.
Another good way to destroy the
caterpillars is by the use of the
asbestos torch which is sold at seed
stores. It is soaked in kerosene,
lighted and held a moment under the
nests and along the branches. -

DOMESTIC SANITATION.

The principle of domestic sanitation,
according to well-known medical au.
thority, requires that house should
be 80 built as to conform to the fol.
lowing rules:
1. 1t must present no facilities for
holding dust or the poisoned particles
of disease. If itretains one it is likely
to retain the other.
2. It must possess every facility for
the removal of it's impurities as fast as
they are poisoned.
3. It must be free from damp.
4. 1t must be well filed with day.
light, from all points that can be
charged with light from the sun with
out glare.
5. 1t must be charged with pure air
in steady, changing current.
6. It must be maintained at an even
temperature, and must be free from
draughts.
7. 1t must be charged with an eff.
cient supply of pure water.
In such a house, according to ou1
authority, disease will never be gen
Grated, 80 long as the house is kept uI
to it's proper standard. If disease
should be introduced therein it will
remain for the briefest period, and
after disease has left it the construc'
tion of the house will admit of its in
slant and complete publication.
"Take care of the house." says the
sanitarian "the cities will take care
of themselves.

FRUIT SAUCE.

Mash quart of ripe fruit, beat it.,
sift cupful of sugar over it and set
away; if the fruit is very sweet less
sugar will be required. About ten
minutes before the sauce is needed set
it over the fire and stir constantly ;
when heated nearly to boiling, turn it
about the base of the pudding, which
has been placed in deep platter. If
the pudding boiler has a tube in
the centre, as it usually has, there
is, of course, hole in the centre of
the pudding, and this may be filled
with the fruit sance, which is, blythe
bye, as attractive in appearance as it
is delicious in taste. e.-New York World.

A SIMPLE CURE FOR "BAcKINa. !"

When horse stops and proposes to
turn around don't resist the turn, but
give him a quiet horizontal pull in the
direction he wants to turn, 80 as to
carry him further around than he in
tended to go, and if possible keep him
going around half dozen times, says
horse trainer. In most cases this
will upset all his calculations, and he
will go quietly on without much ado.
If six turns will not do, give him
twenty. In fact, if he will keep on
turning to your rein you are sure to
conquer, as enough turning will con-
fuse him and leave him at your COM
mand. If he will not turn, and will
back to the rein, keep him going back
ward in the direction you want to 60.
He will soon get tired of that and pre-
fer to go with the right end forward,
but before you let him go give him
decidedly more backing than he likes.
