If more people realized the many
uses to which lemons may be put this
fruit would always be found in the
well regulated household. Here are
some of its good qualities: Lemon
juice removes stains from ones hands.
Lemon juice and water make mouth
wash, useful for preventing tartar and
sweetening the breath, but the mixture
must not be too strong, or the enamel
of the teeth will in time suffer. Lemon
juice will often, when everything else
fails, allay the irritation caused by the
bites of gnats or flies, and teaspoon
full of it, in a cup of cafe noir, will
usually relieve bilious headache. The
juice of a lemon, taken in hot water
on awakening in the morning, is a
liver corrector and a flesh reducer.
Lemon juice and salt will remove
rust stains from linen without injury
to the fabric If you wet the stains
with the mixture several times while
it is bleaching in sunshine. Two or
three applications may be necessary
if the stain is an old 'one.-Brooklvn
Eagle.

Colored hats will be fashionable
again made of velvet to match the
suits, Of the rough, shaggy beavers,
and also of cloth the same as the gown
A charming costume of queer shade
of red in shaggy material has toque
to match with touches of darker velvet,
but no feathers or ornaments of any
kind, while a dark blue velvet costume
has an enchanting picture hat of dark
blue velvet with one long white ostrich
plume. The fat hats have not gone
out of fashion, and yet there are now
to be seen among the very new shapes
quite a number with high crown-a
style that could easily have been pre-.
dicted as a coming reaction from the
fiat hats that have been worn for so
long time. A curious feature of the
new fashions in millinery is that there
is no one distinctive style set aside for
any age. The law is that the hat shall
be becoming and suitable for the indi-
vidual wearer. which is the reason
why this years fashions promise to be
so particularly attractive.
The broad, rather low hats will, on
the whole, hold their place in popular
favor for every day wear, at least dur
ing the early part of the winter. The
rough felts are to be most popular for
outing or tailor-suit hats.-Harper's Ba.

To make buckwheat griddle cakes.
mix together four cupfuls of buck
wheat flour with one scant cupful
of cornmeal and an even tablespoonful
of salt. Sift these ingredients to-
gether. To moisten them use five cup
fuls of lukewarm water and two cup
fuls of milk. The milk is used to give
the rich brown color preferred by most
people. To accomplish this many
housewives use all water and add two
tablespoonfuls of molasses. The milk,
however, makes the cakes more deli
cate. Dissolve compressed yeast
cake in a half cupful of lukewarm
water; add it to the other liquid. Then
add the liquid gradually to the dry
ingredients, beating hard meanwhile.
Pour the batter into pail that comes
for the purpose, and let it rise over
night. In the morning, just before
baking the cakes, stir level teaspoon
full of soda into quarter of cupful
of lukewarm water and beat it into
the batter until it foams. Then fry q
test. cake on Il hot griddle. and If it is
too thick, add more water or milk to
the batter. At least pint of the bat
ter should be left for the next baking,
to use in place of the yeast. To renew
the batter, add the ingredients in the
same proportion as the first time.

In order to get the best and quickest
returns from hogs, begin fattening
the pigs as soon as they are born. 1
raised pure-blooded Poland Chinas Of
medium size, and never attempted to
keep more than 1 could handle well.
My brood sows were kept in thrifty
condition. They Were not fat, but are
far from being poor. I fed little
whole corn and slop made of rye
meal and milk.
When the pigs begin to try to eat
land they will do this when only few
days old, l fix a place where they
could go and eat by themselves.
Grst gave them skimmilk and then
gradually added rye meal, increasing
the amount as the pig grows. AS soon
as they are large enough to eat it, [
add little corn, but 1 find that can
make the most rapid growth with rye
meal if l have plenty of milk to go
with it. If the meal is fed alone, it is
in my opinion too concentrated. L
raise two litters of pigs each year.
They generally average from 275 to
300 pounds at seven months old.-G. w.

METHODS OF SAVING GOLD.
"Fly-Catching and Beachcombing In
New Zealand.

"Fly-Catching and Beachcombing in
New Zealand.
Many and various are the means en-
ployed to secure the precious metal
from its abiding place, and two meth
ods are somewhat remarkable. They
are employed at Charleston, on the
west coast of the South Island of New
Zealand. The first is known as Fly
catching" and is adopted on streams
down which the water used in hy-
draulic sluicing runs after it has passed
through the tail races. Some of the
very fine gold escapes, and is carried
away in the water. This is known as
floating gold" SO at intervals along
the streams boxes are placed, slightly
above the natural level. On the sur
face of these mating or sacking is put.
and some Of tho gold is caught. The
sacking is washed regularly in tub,
and the sediment contains the gold in
very fine, dust-like particles.
"Beachcombing," as its name I'M
and is used to save the fine gold thrown
up by the action of the ocean. The
greater the storm the larger the deposit
of gold. The sand on the beach is
black in color, and very fine, and the
gold remains on the surface in most
minute specks, quite invisible to the
eye. These claims are 200 feet in
width, and each miner, as the tide goes
out, wheels down his sluice-boX and
commences operations. The bottom of
the box is lined with sheets of copper,
covered with quicksilver. At the top
a stream of water from a hose is led in.
The upper surface of the sand is
stripped off about six inches deep, and
is thrown by shovelsful into the water.
AS it passes down the box the force
of the water spreads it out over the
plates of quicksilver copper, and the
gold adheres to the surface. The mix
ture of gold and quicksilver is known
as amalgam, and it is afterward sep
arated. These claims have been worked
continuously for thirty years.-Golden

When one needs a reviving stimulant
after exhaustion, nothing can rival the
effects of hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they cannot digest
milk, and these are the people who
drink it down quickly, so that the
digestive acids, in playing round it.
form large curds, which give trouble
before they can be absorbed. The
right way is to sip the milk in small
amounts, so that each mouthful, as it
descends into the stomach is surround
ed by the gastric fluid, and when the
whole glassful is down the effect is
that of. a spongy mass of curds, in
and out of which the keen gastric
juices course, speedily doing their
work of turning the curd into peptones
that the tissues can take up.

Animal Physiology.

1t is quite essential to bear in mind
the fact that horse differs very much
from a cow or steer in its digestive
capacity when planning the feed. A
horse needs condensed ration; al
COW or OK can handle one considerably
more bulky. This is due to the fact
that the horse has one stomach to
handle all it's feed while the OK has
three stomachs that assist in prepar-
ing the food before it reaches the
fourth, or true, stomach. A horse at
heavy work is adapted to good,
heavy, grain ration, with hay.

The Delay in the Pension fund.

The State Pension Board was in

the newspapers to publish the follow
ing statement.
"While the law provides that the
pension money shall be disbursed on
the first Monday Of April of each year,
owing to the delay on the part of GER
tain county pension boards and their
failure to make reports to the State
board on the first Monday of March, as
required by the rules of the State
board, the State board has been un-
able to examine new applications and
dispose Of them until to-day-their
second meeting. The reports from
some counties have been received ,;nce
the 1st of April and the struggling ap-
plications from counties have been
coming in up to the present; some,
in fact, were received by the
board today. The members compos-
ing the State board are anxious to dis
buree this fund at the earliest date
possible, and any delay in disbursing
the sSme cannot properly be charged
to them. It Is fact that if the boards
had held their meeting the 9Th day of

yond the date the last regular LIST
was received and disapproved, all
