had hung his coat and vest upon a
hook in the ante-room, after having
put the medal and chain in a pocket of

clothing after the bath he had dis

And now he had come to Molier, hop
ing that the thief might have offered
the medal to him for sale. Molier was
startled, expressed regret, said he had
seen the medal years before, and would
know it; that it had not been offered
to him. And he volunteered to see the
other dealers in similar articles, and to
hunt through the pawnbrokers shops,
saying that he might recover it thus,
when Gust himself, being a strangerto

for his interest in the matter-which
was evidently genuine-and left.
Molier made a thorough search
among the pawnbrokers, and all
places where a thief might probably
dispose of such an article, but in vain.

wax impressions of the medal which
he had taken when he made the dupli-

RENOvATING OLD GRAPE.

1t May BE Made to Look just as Good as
New.
To those who are in deep mourning
it may be useful to know how to reno
vate Grape.
l learned how from fashionable
New York dressmaker who, in turn,
got her information on the subject
from an equally successful dyer and
cleaner.
Go into the kitchen, have the clothes
boiler two-thirds full of boiling water,
throw in five or ten cents worth of
gum arabic, place Il new sheet of heavy
brown wrapping paper, doubled, over
the top, arrange your Grape on this,
and await results. The fire in the
range must be brisk, SO that the water
will boil steadily while you are at
work. Feel the Grape, and in few
minutes you will find it moist and
sticky. Now, with your two hands,
ing here and arranging there,
so that all parts get an equal
steaming and all turned in and
rumpled places are renewed. If your
paper be too thick, try it single and
take another piece when it becomes
wet. / have succeeded best with it
doubled, tripled and sometimes quad
rupled But it depends.
If it be trimming you are doing over,
be particular about these creased and
wrinkled places; the careful manipula-
ton of your hands over the broad,
smooth surface of the paper, and the
constant steam will make the material
stiff, crisp and like new.
If it be large piece of Grape, as, for
instance, a veil, be careful to fold it Sc
that the folds will come Immediately
in the back or in any part of the head
gear where they will not look badly,
/ always do over my own Grape, and a:
damrness takes all the stiffness out Of
| it, | find it as a homemade process
great economy.
If one can not conveniently get to q
kitchen and large boiler a small oil
stove or alcohol lamp with a wide oper
saucepan will accomplish wonders witt
small pieces of Grape, and the result
will repay you for your trouble.
To do over small pieces of velve
place a wet handkerchief over n no,
fiat iron standing on its end and draw
the wrong side of the velvet over the
handkerchief Save several irons OF
the range and wet the handkerchie
each time you change your iron, unit
the pieces are steamed TO your salts
faction. Take an old handkerchie
and do not burn your fingers. A larg'
piece of velvet could be successfully
steamed over kitchen clothes boiler
without the sheet of wrapping pape'
aud without the gum arabic. --Dstrei

likely to lose money if he undertakes

in regard to selling prices of fat stock

There is too great difference be
tween what the farmer gets for his
poultry and eggs, and what the con-
sumers pay for the same. This thing
should be remedied.
The grand total wheat crop of the
world in 1894 was $500, 121, 900 bushels,
of which Europe produced 1888, PIG, 900
bushels the United States AGO, 267, 900
bushels and South America, 1O4, 900, 00O.
"A cubic foot of good silage will
weigh about fifty pounds, and is good

1000 cubic feet will hold 100 tons, or

The highest market price for sew
eral years do not seem to stimulate
the cattle trade. The fact is cattle
are becoming scarce, and those who
have a few are not crazy to sell, like
they were last year when prices were
away down.
Fruit trees should not be allowed
to remain in low places where water
stands, but the ground should be
drained so as not to allow too much
moisture in wet seasons.
Directions for raising good boys

LIGHT LAUNDERING.
How Doilies, Scarfs and Tea Cloths Should
BE Got Up.

The laundering of the many doilies,
bureau scarfs, and small draperies
now so plentiful in the modern house
is really quite an item. A rumpled
centerpiece detracts from the beauty
of the dainty lamp upon it, and thus
the housewife finds another care added
to the already full list of duties.
Sometimes it is necessary to do this
laundering ones self, and at all times
it is wise to direct it carefully.
Plain white toilet cloths should be
washed in hot suds, and if badly
soiled and yellowed, should be boiled
for two minutes. Then the cloths
should be rinsed thoroughly in clean,
cold water, and finally dipped in
slightly blued water. rubbing
board should not be used in this work,
but the soiled spots may be rubbed
hard in the hands. Muslin and scrim
must be handled gently and be
squeezed in the water rather than
rubbed, even by the hands. Scrim
and muslin should be stiffened by dip
ping them into thin, boiled starch.
They should be thoroughly dried, then
dampened, and rolled up tightly for an
hour before ironing. When scrim or
muslin is ironed, be careful to pull ont
the edges straight, and, having the fat
iron clean, press out the ruffles or lace
edges first.
Linen and denim, whether embroid'
cred in white or colors, do not need
any starch. They should be ironed
when damp, and then will be sufficient.

rinse carefully, and hang them where
they will dry quickly, but not where
the sun will pour down on them. Dc
not use hot water, especially when col
ored silks or linens have been used, ant
hasten the laundering as much as pos
sible. Iron embroidered cloths on the
wrong side till perfectly dry.
Ribbons used to ornament various
pieces of fancy work often need wash
ing. Wash them in the same way a
embroidered cloths, and protect then
from the iron with clean brown pape
or cloth. Be sure to iron them befor
they are wholly dry. Scarlet washe

Facts for Southern Farmers.

The south spends annually for meat
produced in other sections over $780,
600, 900, for grain, horses and mules
raised beyond her borders, as much.
Here is the enormous sum of 800, 000,.
900 paid out by our people every year
for things that can be raised at home
at less than it costs in any of the
states from which these products are
furnished. There is not farming
neighborhood in the south where all
of these supplies can not be raised in
greatest abundance and at a larger
profit than was made on ten cent cot
ton. And it only requires the de-
termination on the part of our farmers
to do it, and thus save-keep at home
this enormous sum of 800, 900, 900
every year, which in few years time
would make us TIL. richest and most
independent agricultural people on the
globe.
The south in 1860, with population
of 10, 100000 raised 35S, 1000, 900 bushels
of corn, $4,000, 900 bushels of wheat,
351 100000 pounds of tobacco, 1877, 0O0,'
900 pounds of rice, 600, 0OO 900 pounds
of sugar. Last year, with population
of about 10000, OOO or double that Of
1860, it raised 4s3,OOO, 900 bushels Of
corn; whereas, based on increase in
population, the south ought now to be
producing over 7l6,0OO.00O bushels of
corn year.
I Comparing the south's crops of 1884
with what they should have been
based on the yield of 1860, taking into
account the difference in population
there was a shortage of 233,000,O0t
bushels of corn, 40, 100000 bushels O
wheat, 34O,OOO,OO pounds of rice, $50,
600, 600 pounds of tobacco, and 600, 900,
600 pounds of sugar. About the sam,
rate of shortage existed in other crops
Thus, basing an estimate on what tn,
farmers of the south did in 1894, al
compared with 1860, here is falling
off from what they ought to have pro
duced of over $3.50, 900, 900, even at tn,
present depressed prices. Let farmers
study these figures and go to work Il
improve their condition.

Teedlng Hogs Cotton Seed.

Feeding experiments with pigs are
among the interesting things at the
barn now. The lot of four that was
started in the ratio of cotton-seed meal
and corn meal have all succumbed to
the deadly effects of cotton-seed meal.
One pig survived only twenty-three
days from the beginning of the expert
ment; two, thirty-sevep days, and the
fourth, fifty-six days. The average
weight of the pigs was something less
than fifty pounds. Each pig was re-
ceiving about eight ounces of cotton
seed meal day, mixed with three
times this amount of corn meal. No
signs of sickness could be seen up to
within day or two of tho death of the
pig, but examination of the corpse
would show severe case of inflamma-
ton of the lungs and bowels. Although
they did not relish the feed, they made
about twice the gains of lots fed on
corn meal, corn meal and wheat, or
wheat. The experiment will b. con-
tinued with mature hogs to see if the
cotton-seed meal is suitable for feeding
the last two or three weeks of fatten.
