Delicious Orange Dessert,

Shred half a dozen juicy oranges,
leaving all the pulp. Pile these small
pieces up in a china bowl. Make a
rich syrup by boiling a pound of cut
sugar in water and little lemon
juice. Pour this syrup over the or

Before serving spread over the top a
small quantity of whipped cream.
This makes delicious dessert for

One Christmas.

Christmas has always been remem-
bered for the children; but the years
passed and they were children no
longer, some had gone to make new
homes; brothers thought they were
too old to care for it, but in the
hearts of the sister and mother was
ever the wish to celebrate as of old.
There was a new flower in one of the
homes, little girl of one and a half
years, and a fit occasion for the old
time Christmas tree.

side, Japanese lanterns were suspend
ed from the ceiling, popcorn of snowy
whiteness strung on thread festooned
and draped the spaces between. Next
the presents attached to the branches
soon ladened the tree and twenty-five
little wax tapers of different colors IL
animated it.
About one o'clock in the afternoon
of Christmas day the family gathered
around a plentifully spread table.
Roses graced the center with few
petals scattered just beneath, and the
rich ounce sauce gave the bit of col
or aginst the white cloth. Roast tur-
key, plum pudding were part of the
tempting dinner to which all did JUS
tice.
AS the evening shadows gathered
the wax tapers were lighted and the
Christmas tree was "a beautiful pic
ture viewed from the room, and from
the outside the tapers looked like so
many stars glowing in the darkness
We all formed semi-circle about the
tree and one member read aloud Mil

A HELPFUL CORNER.

Leave your heavy carpets north,
unless they are in the form of rugs,
or you wish to cut them into such.
In case you build, your new floors
will need no other adornment or COW
ering, than rug here and there, or
one large one for the parlor and in
the sleeping rooms a small one be-
fore the bed and dresser. Should you
move into an old house and the
cracks are too large or you feel you
must have a floor covering Of some
sort, mattings are very good, and
then there is denim that can be had
for from Is to 80 cents per yard and
makes a good covering. If carpet
paper or several thicknesses of news
paper are placed underneath, it will
be warm for winter. The ingram
carpets are the next to be desired as
they are easily handled and kept
clean.
Of the denim you can make cur
tains for the doors and cover for the
table, and with white or tinted Mad
ras curtains at the windows, you will
have pretty effect in blue and
white for the parlor and sleeping
room. and brown and white for the
dining or living room. In large cities
denim can be had in delicate shades
of green, yellow and other colors,
and readily suggest other possibili-
ties.
Some object to white walls, but
they are clean and light, and in
choosing wall paper it should be
light in color, as light and good air
are essential to health There is a
large variety of inexpensive wall pa
per. l have in mind a pretty cottage,
the parlor was prepared in plain pa

color, the woodwork painted green

Gotta. They were both beautiful.
For the other furniture have if pos
sible that which is light in weight,
as it is more easily moved. Rattan
furniture is a most serviceable kind.
Do not have too much in one room,
as it gives the sense of being crowd
ed. People often make mistake
here, and in having too many kitchen
utensils. What is absolutely indis-
pensable is all that is necessary, and
will save labor and expense, then
when an article is worn out dispose
of it and replace by new.
Do not start out with the idea you
must have everything at once. One
often tires Of sameness and some
thing new added now and then is a
new Joy. Then there are the posi-
bilities of home made furniture, and
genius in this direction is not to be
despised.
I have given suggestions only for
the most inexpensive furnishings,
and the numerous ard pretty mate
rails that can be purchased for a
very little money makes it possible
for everyone to have beautiful sur

are in the reach of al and these are

A peculiar case came up before the
United States land office yesterday.
The law provides that when a home
stead entry is not proved up within
seven years it must be reported for
cancellation. In 1875 Jacob Jacobs,
colored man, entered piece of land
three miles from Martel. He aban-
doned the homestead, and a few days
since Register Barco received letter
from Jacobs asking if he could enter
another homestead, and named the
entry of 1875. Mr.. Barco looked the
matter up and found that the entry
of 1875 has escaped the notice of the
government agents and had not been
cancelled. Jacobs was allowed to
make an entry upon the same piece
of property. This is the first instance
of the kind On record.-Ex.

ATTITUDES. l should, therefore, advise
sheathing up on the inside of the stud
ding, using the ordinary boarding and
building paper on the outside of the
studding. The making of such dead
air space will greatly assist in keeping
the interior warm, while the smooth
sheathing will do away with many
hooks and corners where dust and filth
may collect.
For economy in feeding with such an
arrangement of the stock, it will be
wise to have feedcar, or truck, to run
along the feeding floor and through the
feeding alley. A design is given here
with. This is arranged to hold good
ly quantity of ensilage to be carried to
the cribs of the cows, and has a shoaler,
water-tight box fitting inside the top,
which can be put in place when the less
bulky grain ration is to be fed. A handy

ing out the manure to the manure-room,
making it of form to be easily dumped,
though a wheelbarrow will answer the
purpose very well.-Country Gentleman.

FINDING THE QUEEN.
Description of Method Which Has
Never Resulted in Failure.

Description of Method Which Has
Never Resulted in Failure.
1t used to be great deal of bother
for me, says E. Davenport, in American
Bee Journal, to find queens in populous
colonies sometimes, but it is not much
now, for I can find a laying queen in
an eight OF ten frame hive with four or
five minutes work. no matter how pop
ulons the colony, or what kind of a
queen it is; and although the method
practice has been described before, per-
haps it might be of interest to some be-
ginners for me to give it again.
AS remove the frames from the hives
l look them over for the queen, and if
she is not found readily land with me it
is seldom) the frames with the bees are
all placed in an empty hive close by. or
hung on a low rack made for this pur-
pose If there are many bees left in
the hive. they are shaken out in front;
AN entrance guard is now placed at the
entrance and the bees on the frames are
shaken off in front of the hive. AS the
bees Oh each comb are shaken off the
comb is placed back in the hive, and
when all are in the cover is put on. and
the next hive containing queen to be
found is treated the same. If one has
number of queens to find, by the time
the last hive has been gone over the
queens of the first hives treated can be
readily found in front of their hives
among the few bees that have not gone
in.
l have never as yet lost queen by
this method, but will say for the bene-
fit of beginners that this method should
not be practiced during the cool weather
in the spring or late in the fall after
queens have stopped laying.

In the Apple Orchard.

Apples should be gathered as soon as
ripe, and the surplus and inferior spec
linens should not be left upon the
ground to rot, invite vermin or breed
insects, but picked up and fed to stock
or otherwise disposed of. By doing this
the apple worm may be greatly dimin-
ished. Bands of carpet, bagging, or
other fabric fastened around the trunks
of the trees with single long tack will
catch many of the apple worms after
they leave the fruit to undergo the last
transformation into moths. Examine
them weekly and kill all worms and
pupa that are found.-Rural World.
