teaspoonful each of Worcestershire
sauce and of mushroom catchup. Fry
q minced onion in butter till golden

over it. Let the mixture boil for

for five minutes. Add to this gravy as

relish with it use currant jelly.--Good

-Oilcloth is ruined by the applica-
ton of I've soap, as the I've eats the
cloth, and after being washed it should
be wiped perfectly dry or the dampness
will soon rot it. If laid down where
the sun will shine on it much, it will be
apt to stick fast TO the floor unless pa
per is laid under it. Mating should
never be washed with anything but salt
and water-a pint of salt to half pail
full of soft water moderately warm.
Dry quickly with soft cloth. Twice
during the season will probably be
sufficient washing for bedroom, but
a room much used will require it some-
what oftener.-Christian Inquirer.
Kidney toast makes delicious
breakfast dish. Sheep or veal kidneys
must be used; the latter are preferable,
and they must be very fresh. Cut them
in halves, remove the white fat, pour
boiling water over them and let them
stand five minutes Drain and stew in
broth made of any bones or trimmings
of meat until tender; drain again and
pour the gravy into bowl. Chop the
kidneys as fine as possible, moistening
them with little melted butter. Skim
the grease from the top of the gravy,
and make brown sauce of it, using a
level teaspoonful each of butter and
-four; add the kidney paste, season with
tarragon vinegar, cayenne and salt, and
pour over slices of PLAIN toasted bread.

to Keep "A Girl.
There is no room in the house which
should be more carefully planned than
the servants room. The guest cham
Der does not approach it importance,
for guests may come and guests may
go and the household survive, but on
the staying of the servant depends the
family welfare. There that potentate
must be wooed to remain by spreading
all the attractions possible before her
This does not mean that the Persian
rug and the lockwood cabinet should
be brought into her quarters But it
means that she should have a room
flooded with sunshine and airy, for she
is not at liberty to roam from one part
of the house to another in search of
these things. 1t means that she must
have room as coy and homelike as
possible, for that room is her home for
the time being.
After sunlight and air neatness is the
first requisite. A stained and varnish-
ed floor is better even than one covered
with mating. A good-sized, simple,
but pretty, rug should lie before her
bureau, another in front of the wash
stand, and another-a larger one-be-
side the bed. All these may be easily
shaken every few days, and at the same
time will keep the floor from being
cold.
The walls should not be glaring
white. Light-colored dainty paper,
with a deep frieze and a picture mold
ing need not be expensive, and will
give the room cheerful appearance.
Two or three good photographs framed

dimity at the windows, pretty bureau
and washstand cover, frilled splasher,
and a dainty little cover for the sewing
table will also be help. toward the
same desirable ends.
The bedstead should be of painted
iron, and it should be provided with as
comfortable mattres es and bedding as
that of any other member of the fam
lily. A girl who has worked hard all
day is very susceptible to the charms
of a comfortable bed. The rest of the
furniture may be of the lightest and
cheapest sort of so-called oak As long
as it is not delapidated and worn-look.

Prof. N. f. Massey, of the South

Ribbon Sashes.

The woman who follows the fashions
Of the moment finds the ribbon sash an
indispensable addition to her toilet.
Sashes are worn with blouses, pointed
bodices, and beneath open-fronted jack
cts, and in this case are tied on one side
quite near the front. In this position
they do not interfere with the set Of
the coat. The black satin and MORE
sashes for general wear are wide, and
as a rule they are equally WIDE in the
delicate tints for evening toilets, but
upon a number of handsome French
gowns the ribbons are narrower, two
strands passing around the round waist
and terminating at the back beneath
two rosettes, with long loops and ends
falling from them. Some tie the rib
bons directly in front of the gown.
Not only does the slender woman af-
tect this fashion, but full figures con-
trive to arrange them becomingly ny
means of little adaptation. The rib
o bon must aot be more than four inches
wide, and is placed at the extreme edge
Of the bodice.-N. Y. Posi-

DIVERSITY OF CROPS.
An Important Matter to the Young Farm
ers of the South.

An Important Matter to the Young Farm
ers of the South.
The young farmers throughout the
south have begun to diversity their
crops, and the result is even more salts
factory than they had anticipated.
The growing of bookkeeping apples
in southwestern Virginia is becoming
one of the most profitable industries in
that locality. The Albemarle pippin is
in the lead as to varieties. Next comes
the York Imperial or johnson apples
and the Wine Sap.
There is no better illustration of the
loss which occurs from the careless
method of marketing farm crops than
this: For every twenty-five cents saved
by the use of only two wires instead of
three in baling ton of hay, the farmer
who bales the hay for shipment to mar
ket loses one dollar. The hay does not
sell as well as when the bales look trim
and neat. This is what the dealers in
hay say, and they ought to know.
The Lewis Brothers, of Talladega
county, Ala, who are the owners of
large track of producing land,
the farm products, manufacture all
that they need to wear, convert the
cotton into cloth and refine the cotton
seed oil, so that everything raised will
reach the market through the product
of the mill In this way the services
of the middlemen and the cost of ex-
change will be dispensed with. This
is gratifying evidence of the establish
ment of new order of things in the
genial climate of northern Alabama.
We have reached stage in Ameri-
can farming when it is found that the
large farms, take them acre for acre,
do not pay as well as small ones. The
extensive or superficial ''cut and
cover" plan is giving way to
the intensive or thorough culture
one. Muscle is giving brain the prece-
dence. Skilful culture, including judi
cious fertilization and such a success
sion and rotation of crops that the soil
becomes each year more and more pro-
ductive, is the new and better way.
Truckers or small farmers who are
fortunate enough to live near state

pocket. New methods are not justifia-
BILE on large scale until first actually
put into practice in small way. For

pertinent station have been greatly
benefited by the work of the station.
Sub-stations have been found to be of
great practical value in states where
mountain ranges occur and the nature
OF the soil and products differ widely.
In California there are no less than
seven.
II is well that there is disposition
on the part of those who own small
farms near thriving towns on the At
lantic seaboard to engage in growing
the small fruits, such as Strawberries,
curfants, raspberries, etc, both for
near and distant markets Why not
grow more fruit? Why not have an
ample garden, with long rows of suf-
ficient distance apart to admit of cult
walton with the horse? Why not wake
up, look around read more, experiment
more, think more, and then work out
our thoughts, and so put money in our
pockets as well as increase the com
forts and attractions of our homes?
Why not? 1t will pay.-J. w. g., in

The strong facial resemblance
which married couples often acquire
after living together Il long period of
years, harmonious in thought and feel
ing, and subject to the same conditions
in life, have often been commented
upon, The Photographic society of
Geneva recently took the pictures Of
seventy-eight couples for an invcstiga-
ton of this subject The result was
that in twenty-four cases the rcsem-
blance in the personal appearance of
the husband and wife was greater than
that of brother and sister, in thirty
eases it was equally great, and in only
twcnty-four was there Il total absence
of resemblance.

A Trick of the Orchids.
