TIE HOUSEHOLD.
Idea For an Overmantel-salt
an Antiseptic.

Here is a fine recipe for leg Of NUT
ton a In venison. Select "A small leg OF
mutton and wipe the meat thoroughly
with cloth wrung out of borax water.
Mix half a teaspoonful of allspice, the
same quantity each of ground mace
and cloves, quarter Of an ounce of
freshly ground black pepper and a
tablespoonful of ground ginger. Rub the
meat thoroughly all over with the
spices and put into a deep pan and
cover with a pickle made as follows:
Fry for seven minutes two sliced on
ions, n large carrot, also sliced des-
sertspoonful of mixed herbs, bunch
of parsley and two bay leaves In an
ounce OF butter; then add half pint of
malt vinegar and two pints of cold wa
ter. Let ii boil up and then simmer
for half an hour. When the pickle is
cold, strain ii and pour over the meat
and leave il for three days, turning 1t
once n day. Before cooking rinse the
meat with warm water, then dry it
and -four il and roast in the usual way.
Serve the mutton on n hot dish with a
little of this sauce poured round 1t and
send the remainder TO table in a sauce
tureen. To half pint of thick brown
sauce add half wineglass of sherry,
a tablespoonful of red currant jelly, a
dessertspoonful of mushroom catchup
and cayenne and salt to taste.

Salt an Antiseptic.

Common household salt is considered
n good antiseptic and when cast into
sewers and other places where atmos-
pheric germs may arise to poison us it
does good in preventing disease, but in
recent experiments it was found that
there are plenty Of other common
mineral elements that may be used
with much effectiveness. Compared
with salt. calcium chloride stands as
% to 6, and the ratios of the other an
tiseptics are as follows: Magnesium
chloride, 104; ferrus sulphate or cop
peras. 90; boracic acid, 143; carbolic
acid, 1888; zinc chloride, 526; Alumni
um sulphate, G40; salicylic acid, 1000;
free chlorine. 400. and bichloride Of
mercury, 14,S00. All of these anti
septics can be obtained at the drug
gist's with little expense. and their
more general use would save many a
household from sore threats. diph-
iberia, typhoid and other fevers.

Farm Implements In Demand.

The year just closed was one of I'M
eXampled activity and prosperity, says
The Farm Implement News. In vol
ume of business done, in expansion of
commerce and industry and in magni-
tude of financial transactions it was
our greatest year. The implement and
vehicle industries had their full share
of the activity and prosperity of the
year. The domestic demand was great
er than ever, and the foreign demand
increased by more than 80 per cent.
In no other year. Of the decade were
the failures so few and the liabilities
of insolvents so light. There have
been two disturbing elements, how
ever the constantly Increasing cost of
materials since last spring and the de-
cline in values of farm products to-
ward the close Of the year, but these
are not sufficiently serious to material
" affect the trade and win not be felt
:; pstces q; farm products should tend
upward a little or crops should give
good promise in the spring. If there is
trouble ahead. il will be the result of
reckless and excessive speculation at
the financial centers.

Doctors of Plants.

A writer in The Contemporary Re
view urges the need Of n new class of
educated physicians whose business
shall be the care and cure OF disease
threatened and disease stricken plants.
"The time will come" he says. when
every agricultural district will have it's

development Of speclalties by plant
doctors just rs by other physicians, so
that in many difficult and obscure
cases OF disease affecting valuable

lance.

A pile of soft, downy pillows on the
divan or in the coy corner is, Of
course. Indispensable. and clever
housekeeper has as many varieties Of
covering as will blend tremendously
with the coloriug and decorations Of

popular now. In dull reds. browns
and greens they are shown with gay
stripes. These may cover one side Of
the pillow. while the other is in a solid
shade; or the stripes may cross one
corner diagonally. On a solid back

are embroidered or put on with span
giles A very artistic pillow Of old gold
silk is beautifully embroidered in bull
lion and has pattern of gilt spangling
as well. One pillow that stands out
from all the rest is covered with black
oriental goods and is adorned with
three or four gold stars appliqued In

several hours afterwards. Burns had
been to Brookville and got intoxicated
and took bottle of liquor home with

she hid the bottle. Burns keeps lit

whiskey he began drinking ginger and
did not stop until he emptied six bot

had drank Jamaica-ginger once before
and came near ending his earthly Ca

Game of Ball at Dubois.

The Reynoldsville ball team, all home
players except one, and he works In
town frequently, went to Dubois Wed
nesday afternoon to play the club at
that place. The result was In favor of
Dubois, although it was not because
they excelled our boys on the diamond,
but 1t was because they had frank"
umpire who made many outrageous de-
cisions. The umpire not only gave
some OF the rankest decisions on record,
but the Dubois papers either wilfully,
or otherwise, prevaricated In reporting
the game. They reported it seven
inning game and 1t was q nine inning
game. They gave Reynoldsville team
credit with o scores and 1t was 10 they
got. Our team is given credit with one
home run and they made two, and
there were other errors In the article
which did not give our team due credit,
However, that is about as fair as our
boys can expect from the morning sheet.
