DETER HARD SOAP.

A lady wished directions for making
hard soap ont Of beef tallow that had
been tried out. Will the sisters try
my recipe, which have used for sew
eral years? think they will find it
great Improvement on the one that
accompanies Rabbits potash. For
hard soap, use 81 pounds of cloan tall
low, one pound of potash, one ounce
of borax, one ounce of powdered am
monia; perfume with what you please.
First put the potash in stone crock
and pour three pints of rain water on
it and let stand till it gets cold. Dis
solve the borax in q teacupful of rain
water and pour in crock. Warm the
tallow quite warm and pour in the
crock of potash water, stirring it all
the time you are pouring it IN; this
requires an extra hand. Dissolve the
ammonia ina cup of rain water and
add to the mixture before it cools.
Continue the stirring until it is as
thick US pancake batter. Then pour
in wooden box, previously lined with
paper so it will come out nicely. When
cold and hard, turn out of box and cut
in bars with thread. American Agri-

THE CULTURE OF FLAX.

Flax requires rich, light loan soil,
and, preferably, grass sod turned un.
der. The land should be moist. but
not wet, and low-lying meadow on o
river bottom is especially favorable to
it. 1t is grown either for the seed or
for tho fibre, and the method Of
cultivation differs US the purpose for
which the crop is grown. For seed,
the seed sown is not more than two to
three pecks per acre, Us thin sowing
encourages the growth of side
branches, on which the fruit, called
seed boils, are produced more than on
the main stem. 1t is mostly grown for
seed on this continent, as the climate
is too dry and warm for the best kind
of fibre. The only locality where the
best fibre might be grown is in the
Southern mountain region, where the
summers are cool and the rainfall is
twice as much as elsewhere on the
continent. The seed is sown early in
May, about the time of oat seeding.
The product of seed is from ten to
fifteen bushels an acre, and at the
present prices prevailing, it is the most
profitable of all grain crops. AS the
preparation of the fibre requires much
hand labor, it is not paying crop,
and it is hardly possible that at pres
ent VIC can compete with the Russians
and Bohemians in growing and pre-
pairing it. The culture is rapidly dy-
ing ont in Ireland ON account of the
competition of the Eastern European
Nations, where labor is SO cheap

Most Confirmed OF Woman lIaters

Probably the most confirmed MISC
gynist who ever lived was wealthy
old bachelor who has just died in
Vienna. After his death bundle Of
documents was discovered among his
belongings, labeled: attempts made
by my family to put me under the
yoke of matrimony." In this packet
were sixty-two letters, the dates rang
lug from 1916 to 1893, q sufficient
proof of the tenacity of his relations.
So afraid was this strange man of even
sitting near woman that whenever
he went to the theatre he booked
three seats, in order that he might
have one on either side of him empty.
When travelling in railway carriage
he was always careful to smoke large,
foul-smelling pipe, to keep away in

he said: 81 beg that my executors
will see that l am buried where there
is no woman inferred either to the
right or left of me. Should this not
be practicable i'll the ordinary course
of things, direct that they purchase
three graves, and bury me in the MD

Driftwood Pete's Streak Of Luck.

While splitting wood near his boat
house at the foot Of Loughborough
avenue, yesterday afternoon, "Drift-
wood Pete" made lucky strike of the
ak, which put him in possession of
nearly $400 in gold. He was pound
ing away ut the hollow log, when the
ax cut through and struck some
metallic substance, which proved to
be an iron pot tight sealed. With
eager haste he broke the top, and to.
his delight gold coin came rolling out.
Upon counting the coins they
amounted to $4O0. The pot had been
incased in the log apparently for a
great number of years, and it is
thought to have been hidden in the
tree during the war. Where the tree
came from will probably never be
known. 1t had been felled somewhere
up the river, and drifted along with
the current to yield it's treasure to
"Driftwood Pete. "Driftwood Pete"
has earned livelihood all his life by
catching drifting wood and other
floating articles ON the Mississippi
River during the summer months. 1t
was seven months ago that he caught
tho log which contained the pot Of
gold, and it has lain near his cabin
ever since, until yesterday, when he
started to split it up for tirewood. -

One Of the Biggest Eels on Record.

The crew of the fishing steamer
Annie L. Wilcox, of Mystic, took ON
board Saturday the largest sea eel that
any one could remember. The mid
die OF the week the crew had hauled
out the biggest eel any of them had
ever seen, but Saturdays capture beat
tho first one. The biggest of the two
cells weighed thirty-four pounds. He
was five feet nine inches long and nine
teen inches in circumference. The
dimensions of the other eel were as
follows; Weight, twenty-five pounds;
length, five feet three inches circum-
ference, fifteen inches.
These eels were taken in pounds be-
tween Watch Hill and Point Judith.

A CHEAP PLANT IDUsE.

should like to tell of a cheap little
house we built last fall, writes Mrs.
G. d. The winter was unusually &C.
we're, yet all my flowers except an al
tillery plant were saved, even the ten
der begonias. AS it may be of use to
some other beginner l will give the
plan of this house.
Strong posts were driven into the
ground at intervals of six feet. Upon
each side of the posts inch planks
were nailed. The space between was
filled with sawdust rammcd down close.
The boards on tho inside were planed
SO as to make smooth ceiling, but
the outer ones were not dressed. Ovor
the outside q layer Of asbestos is
tackled, and over this is heavy
weather boarding. The roof has q
double ceiling, as we'll as a thick
shingling. A coating of sawdust
about three inches thick is placed be-
tween the shingles and the first CELL
ing; and between the two ceilings
overhead is layer OF asbestos. The
dimensions of this little house are
only Gx12 feet, yet it gives room for
as many plants as l care to keep.
Height OF tho front is nearly eight
feet. height at back is six. 1t fronts
south, and is lighted, by sliding win
dows, which come within three feet of
the ground, below them being ceiled
and weather. boarded like the other
walls. AT the east end is glass
door. l have heavy duck curtains
outside the glass. These are dropped
down during the worst weather, and
left down every night in the middle of
winter. The flowers are placed on q
set OF steps eight inches apart. The
lower ones are twelve inches wide, the
two upper six inches. The most ten
der plants are put on top. l open the
windows on every warm day in winter
to make the plants hardy.
The only heating apparatus is a
coal oil stove. This is kept burning
whenever find it necessary, and it
gives warmth enough for South Ten
nessee winter. ] don't know whether
such structure and such heating APP
pliances would bo safe further north
or not.-Detroit Free Press.

Sea Water Eats Steel.

When steel is exposed to the action
OF sea water and the weather, it is said
to corrode at tho rate of an inch in
c'ghty-two years; an inch of iron
under the same conditions corrodes
in one hundrnd and ninety years.
when exposed to fresh water and the
weather, the periods are one hundred
and seventy years for stoel and six
hundred and thirty years for iron.
Completely immersed in sea water,
the rates are: Steel. one hundred and
thirty years; iron, three hundred and
ten years; and in fresh water, steel,
six hundred years, and iron, seven
hundred years. Iron piles corrode
most near low-water mark; marine
growths act as q protection. New

HOW TO WASH FLANNELs.

Three things are enemies of fan
nels: hot irons, hot water and the
rubbing on CT soap when wet; these
things it is that shrink, full and dis
color fannels. Look the garments
over and rub soap on soiled spots be-
fore wetting. Make warm suds and
add tablespoonful of ammonia to o
gallon of water. Squeeze the gar
ments with the hands, but never rub
them, least of all upon the board put
that out of temptations way. Rinse
in water of the same temperature as
the first, till clean. II colored add
white vinegar to the last water, to set
the color. After wringing shake we'll
and draw into shape; dry quickly,
pulling them into shape as they dry.
The wristlets OF vests and anklets OF
tights should be stretched as narrow
as possible, to restore them to their
natural close fit; and tho bag at the
knees and bulge at the elbows can be
pulled out. Take the garments down
while still damp. and press with a
warm iron never hot. till perfectly
dry. In this way old fannels will be
as soft and comfortable to wear as
new ones. ---Demorest's Magazine.

ROSES FOR THE GARDEN.

Thousands of people WHO love roses,
and have plenty of room in their
gardens or dooryards for bed of
roses of larger or smaller dimensions,
are afraid to attempt to grow them,
because they Imagine it requires too
much skill. A great deal of this may
be laid at the door of our older-school
gardeners and florists, who, from mar
row-mindeduess more than anything
else, have tried to envelop everything
pertaining to Horticulture in mystery,
and to spread tho belief that to grow
even the commonest flowers required
their skill and supcrintendence. Ger
tainly no moro mistaken idea regard
ing the culture of the roses could pos
sibly exist. The main factor required
is good plain common sense, which, il
rightly applied, cannot fail to make it

among the fishes known to inhabit
tho very deepest portions of the deep
sea, but there are few such unique
specimens as that recently reported to

depth of one and one half miles and
was wonder to behold. The crea-
ture was only about twenty nine
inches long, but fully four-fifths of

RETAINING THE BUTTER FLAVOR.

Concerning cold storage of butter,
we will say that there is only method
that will keep butter SO as to preserve
its first rosy flavor, and that is by
freezing it.
The old method of cold storage by
holding it at tenn perature of thirty
eight to forty degrees would keep the
butter from getting rancid, but it
would soon lose its fine flavor and
show sort of dead, cold storage taste.
If refrigerators are constructed on
system whereby temperature of six
teen to twenty degrees can be con-
stantly maintained, butter cnn be held
in sweet, rosy condition six months.
Recent experiments have indicated
that 1t is better to go down even as low
as eight degrees above zero. The but
ter does not lose its flavor quickly
when brought into consumption. The
sixty-pound package, either in tubs or
tirkins, is probably the best form of
package for this work. -Hoard's

4 Horses Tail.

In well-formed horses the tail should
be strong at the root, rising high from
the Group, the direction of which it
follows. When this is horizontal the
tail is gracefully carried, especially
when the horse is moving. With
powerful, good-shaped horses it is
often carried upward, or even curved
over the back, especially when the
horse is lively. The health and
strength of the animal are, according
to popular notions, indicated by the
resistance the tail offers to manual in
reference and by the way in which it
is carried. To some extent also it af-
fords an indication of the horses dis
position.
A fidgety horse usually has the tail,
like the ears, always in motion when
about to kick, the tail is drawn down
ward between the legs; when the ami
NAL is fatigued or exhausted then it is
dropping and frequently tremulous !;
and with some horses, when galIop-
ing, it is swung about in circular
manner or lashed from side to side.
There can scarcely be any doubt also
that, like the tail of birds, it assists in
the horses movements, as when the
animal is galloplng in o small circle,
or rapidly turning round coIner, it
is curved to the inner side.
With well-bred horses the hair of
the tail is comparatively fine and
straight, and often grows to such a
length that it reaches the ground !;
coarse-bred horses may also have the
hair long, but then it is usually very
thick and strong, and more or less
frizzly, though soft curly hair may
occasionally be noticed in the tail of
thoroughbred horses. In some horses
there is tendency to shedding of tho
tail hair this, like that of the name,
tail, forelock, fetlocks, and some 9TH
er parts, is permanent, and not shed
at certain seasons, as in other regions
of tho body the horse is then said
to be "rat-tailed," and there is a
popular saying to the effect that such
horse is never bad one. In other
instances the tail hair falls off except
at the end of the dock, where it forms
tuft, and the horse is then "cow-
tailed" or "mule- tailed. "--Nineteenth

1'ARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Always weigh your butter at home.
Don't keep the soil too wet, as it in.
clines them to decay at the base.
Don't breed for bones, but strive to
build up dairy of butter producers.
Do not leave an orchard to itself
after planting. Cultivate it without
ceasing.
1t is necessary that you be able to
control tho temperature while ripen-
ing cream.
Pure water is absolutely necessary,
and pastures must be kept free of nox-
ious weeds.
Lantanas, perennial phloxcs and
chrysanthemums will grow rapidly
from cuttings put out now.
Two largely common crops that
should be considerably reduced-lice
on hens and weeds in the garden.
Do the milking in quiet place and
make no noise doing the work. If in
q stable, have it free from odors.
1t is just as important that an or
chad receive good tillage to make
healthy, vigorous growth as it is to
corn or potatoes.
One Of the chief causes of disease
among sheep is overcrowding. They
will never do we'll if they are kept in
crowded quarters.
IT is not yet too late to increase
your stock of roses if cuttings are put
out where not exposed to tho wind
and sun. If the buds are kept piuched
of they will make nice little bushes
for next winters blooming.
Don't let the sunshine beguile you
into putting out your hothouse plants
too early. Even if below the line OF
late frosts there is danger from chill
ing dews and the drying winds OF
March, which have fingered with us
this year until late in April.
