HELPS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
A Few Culinary Hints for the Bene-
Mt of Those Learning to
Cook.

To keep a straw mating from turn
ing yellow, wipe it with a cloth dipped
in a mild brine and dry it with anoth-
er cloth.
Brass kettles should be kept clean
with salt and vinegar in order to avoid
verdigris poison.
Mold can be kept from a bookcase
by scattering here and there drops OF
oil of lavender.
Rich starch used in laundering fine
linens, cambrics and lawns is made
from pulverized rice. It is mixed like
ordinary starch, and French laun-
dresses sometimes add a few drops of
lavender or orris root to scent the
dainty article to which they apply the
starch.
To make junket. heat half a pint OF
new milk to 100 degrees. Add a graf
ing of nutmeg and a quarter of a
iunket tablet dissolved in a table
spoonful of water. Mix and turn at
once into a little cup. Allow it to
''set' and then place it in the cold.
Serve with a little cream.
A rice pudding suitable for children
is made by putting n pint of milk,
one tablespoonful of rice and six raj,
sins into a double boiler. Cover and
cook for one hour. Remove the raisins
and turn the mixture into a baking
dish. Bake slowly for half an hour.
In cleaning a spot on a fabric with
ether or chloroform it often happens
that after the original stain is re-
moved a circle is still to be seen. This
comes from an impurity in the solvent
used. Commercial ether or ~chloroforn
is not apt to be perfectly pure. In
rubbing the stain, therefore, a teacher
of chemical cleaning advises that some
absorbent like bread crumbs or chall
OF a piece of plotting paper should bf
put around the spot to absorb any
excess of the liquid. Rub towards the
spot to concentrate the liquid there
leaving the edge of the circle thin fol-
quick absorption. The cleaning fluid
whatever it is, should not be left t.
dry itself, but be rubbed dry with
succession of w or three cloths.

THE Usage ORANGE.
For Posts and Telephone Poles 1t Has
No Equal and for Beauty 1t
Is Unexcelled.

In sections where it will thrive be-
lieve it will pay to plant the Usage
orange for posts and telephohe-poles.
1t has one fault, and thatis, when it has
become seasoned one can scarcely drive
any sort of nail into it. Its lasting
qualities when used as posts exceed
that of any wood know of. It grows
quite rapidly, and should be pruned
about twice year to make good posts
or poles. 1t will pay those who have
Usage hedges to allow one plant about
every Is or 20 feet to grow up for posts
or poles. If they are kept properly
trimmed up they will not injure the
hedge any and will soon make good
posts. When cut they should be sawed
off close to the ground during the VIM
ter season; then a thicket of shoots
will sprout from the stump the follow
ing spring, and close the gap. In half
a mile of hedge one can grow about all
the posts he will need. All that is need
ed to make straight poles or posts is
timely and careful pruning. 1 have
known one Usage post eight inches in
diameter to outlast three white-oak
posts in succession. Barbed wires or
woven-wire fencing can be fastened to
these posts by means of short pieces of
wire.-Fred Grundy, in Farm and Fire

For an hour, with Elinor Folsom on
his arm, young Dean was strolling up
and down the moonlit walk, marvel
ing over the beauty of her dark, yet
winsome face, and Loomis and Jessie,
stanch friends already, sauntered
after them. Fora time the merry
chat went on unbroken. They were
talking of that never-to- be- forgotten
visit to the Point-Pappoose's first
and of the; hop to which the tall ca

girl, and of her hop card and the
distinguished names it bore, as names
ran in the old days of the battalion;

rode so well--he was with the til

cadet adjutant; he was with light

''He doesn't like him, I'll venture to
say" said Dean, IF Newhall doesn't
suit you and Jessie, and I'm sure I
shan't." And then they went on to
talk of the lovely dance music they
had at the Point that summer, and
how bewitchingly Elsen used to play
that pretty galop-"Puckwudjies"-
the very thing for a moonlit night.
One could almost see the Indian
fairies dancing about their tiny

DANGEROUS WASHOUTS.
In Nine Cases Out of Ten They Can he
Prevented or Checked by
Simple Means.

During the times of rain much dam
age is done to fields and roads by
washouts. The continued rains loosen
the soil, and when the short, heavy
showers come the rush of water tears
up the loosened soil and carries it
away, and in this way deep bitches
are torn in summer-fallowed fields
and in fields under cultivation. In
the same way roads, especially hill
sides, are badly torn up, causing dan
ger to travel and much expense for
repair. There is a simple and effec-
tive way both to prevent this damage
from going beyond control and to re-
pair it, no matter how large the gut
tiers are. Take fine hay, weeds, straw
or even briers, if not too large, and
scatter a few handfuls in place in
the bottom of the washout. Put
stones on this, to keep it in place.
Twenty or 80 feet farther down
stream put in another check like this,
and so on throughout the washout.
Of course, if the gully is larger and
much water comes down it, more hay
and heavier stones must be used.
The idea is that these checks slacken
the speed, and hence the tearing
power of the stream, and also hold all
sediment. Dams put in deep wash
out 80 rods long in a wheat field in
the fall, at intervals of 30 feet or So,
caused the filling up of the ditch by
spring. Deep and dangerous wash
outs on hillsides on the public high
way can either be prevented or rem
edied by checks of the above kind
properly put in and looked after
from time to time. The usual way of
dealing with these hillside washouts
is to let them go until the hill be-
comes impassable; then make a, job
of grading, etc., at an expense of
from $50 to $50 to the county. Here
a stitch in time would save 90. The
washouts in dams of ponds can be re-
paired in much the same way.-Troy

THREE PEACH GROWERS.
They Are Types of Characters with
Which All Of Us Are More or;
Less Familiar.

One of the fundamental laws of
education is, that we learn by cxpe-
rience. Theories are all right, but
practice is better. During my term
of IA years j. in the fruit business I
observed three different classes of
peach growers.
The first. class are those who are
determined in their efforts. They are
wide awake, because they know it is
not the business that makes the man,
but that it is the man that makes the
business.
The second class are those who save
at the spigot and lose at the bung.
They set out their orchards and Gull
tivate very little and only visit their
orchards about the time they expect
to find ripe fruit on the trees. They
are good statesmen enough to sell any,
thing from red beet up to a straw
stack. They will by hard work man.
age to hammer enough money out OF
the business to pay the cost of pro-
duction.
Then comes the third class. The

money in the peach business is to pre-
sent the nursery man with the money
and positively refuse to take the
trees. They would thus save the
time and labor in preparing the soil
and planting the trees, and not lose
the use of the ground. I believe in
growing first-class peaches, and in
having everything clean from the or
chard to the curbstone. If I want to
do business, I must attend to my
business. 1 will follow peach culture
as long as I can keep the soil in a
condition to sponge water.
1t may not, however, be expected
that fruit will again bring the high
price any more than wheat, corn,
iron, etc. Nothing brings the high
price it once did. But what we want
is that our peach crop will sell for
enough money to allow us a fair
profit. OF course, competition may
be sharp, as it is in all other classes
OF business in the country-J F.

tural Society.

How to make useful lever for pry-
ing out stones, lifting timbers, ETC., is
shown by & in this cut. An old horse
shoe is heated and the points hammered
together little closer than usual. The
shoe is then bolted on the large end
OF a stout pole, ten or twelve feet long,
with the points projecting about one
half inch.
A handy little device for pulling cab
bage, ETC., is shown by C. Use light
forked stick about four feet long for
the lever and smaller forked stick,
or limb, one foot long, for support. Lay
the long stick in fork of short one, and

"Just as usual, papa. She says she
has rather violent headaches once in

keep her room to-day. But I can at

to do.
And so Folsom had gone to meet
Burleigh, and the girls had planned,
at least Jessie had, that Marshall aft
er drill should ride beside them into
town and have a chat in the parlor
while she wrote to mother in the Ii
brary. But thing happened that no
one could have foreseen. Just before
drill was over and while they were
still watching it from their seats in
the covered wagon, buggy drove up
alongside and Maj. Burleigh jumped
out, gave the reins to his companion,
and babe him come to him as soon as
he had finished what he wished to do
at the suffers. The MAJORS face was
perturbed, that of his companion
looked black and ugly. II was Capt.
Newhall, and something was amiss.
The latter barely tipped his hat in
driving away, the former heaved a
sigh of relief, then turned to greet
the girls.
Ten minutes passed in constraint
and awkwardness. Burlei 9Th felt that
he was unwelcome, but his eyes were
fixed in fascination on Elinor Fol-
som, and he could not go. Presently
drill was dismissed, and Dean, all
aglow, came galloping up, his orderly
trumpeter following. Not until he
had joyously greeted both the girls
did he see who was standing by the
forward wheel on the opposite side.
"Good morning. Mr.. Dean.' said
Burleigh, affably. II never saw that
troop look so well.''
''Good morning, SIR" said Dean, cold
ly. Then turned to speak again to
Miss Folsom when the buggy came
whirring back.
''He isn't here, Burleigh," said the
occupant, petulantly. Hes in town,
and you've got to find him right off.
Come on!"
Burleigh turned livid. "Capt. New
hail." he said, you fail to notice I am
with friends.''
"They are friends who will be glad to
get rid of you, then,' replied the
stranger, thickly, and it was easy to
see that he had been drinking. All the
same Burleigh went.
