Good Pocket NIGHT Lamp.

To instantly obtain light sufficient
to read the time by watch or clock
by night, without danger of setting
things on fire, is an easy matter. Take
an oblong vial of the ciearest of
glass, put into IT a piece of phosphorus
about the size of pea, pour upon
this some pure olive oil, heated to the
boiling pont; the bottle to be filed
about one-third IuI, then cork tightly.
To use the light remove the cork,
allow the air to enter, then recork.
The whole empty space in the bottle
will then become luminous, and the
light obtained will be good one. As
son as the light becomes dim its
power can be increased by opening
the bottle, and allowing a fresh sup
ply of air to enter.
In very cold weather it is some
times necessary to heat the vial be-
tween the hands to increase the fluid
ity of the oil, and one bottle will last
a winter. This ingenious continuance
may be carried ip the pocket, ard is

magazines where explosives or infiarn-
nable materials are stored tAlal

WALNUT LAYER CAKE.

Beat to a cream two-thirds cur
butter and one cup sugar, add the
well-beaten yolks of four eggs, one
cup of milk and saltspoon of salt,
then two heaping cups of -four into
which two teaspoonfuls baking pow
der have been sifted. Beat thorough
ly. This should make four layers
and will bake in fifteen minutes.
For the filling take two cups sugar
and two tablespoonfuls of water, put
on the stove and boil ten minutes !;
beat the whites of the four eggs to
a stiff froth, remove your syrup from
the fire and let cook five minutes;
add the whites, beating fast to avoid
cooking your eggs Now, to one-half
of this add one pound seedless rails
ms (washed and chopped), and to
the other half one pound of walnuts,
shelled and chopped, and place them
between the layers. Frost the top of
the cake if desired, and lay on wal
nuts halved.

there is little danger of it's being too
rich. If it can be well MANFRED a
month or so before planting-the fall
before is still better-and the ma
rlure thoroughly mixed with the soil,
it will go far toward assuring a good
yield. If manure is not available a
generous quantity of fertilizer can be
proftably used. The following for
mula is recommended: Nitrogen 3
per cent, available phosphoric acid
per cent, potash per cent, at the
rate of 500 or 600 pounds per acre.
1t is well to use plenty of seed so as
to insure a good stand. Two or three
pounds are said to be sufficient for
an acre. Three or four ounces will
plant a patch large enough for a
trial. After the plants have come up
well they should be thinned out to
three or four inches apart. 1t is
sometimes necessary to make two
Trimmings. The thinning and the
first cultivation are likely to be
rather tedious, as the young plants
are very delicate. After they get
started cultivation is comparatively
easy, all that is necessary being to
keep the weeds down and the top of
the soil loose and mellow.-The Epi.
tomist.

Diplomacy in the Kitchen.


When Toku, the little brown man-of-
all-work, first arrived at Elsie's she
was afraid Of him; it seemed odd for
a woman who was left alone all day
to employ a man to cook and sweep.
But it needed only two days to prove
the wisdom Of the move. Toku was
more than clean and thorough and
willing and intelligent-he was a born
diplomat
At noon on that second day Of his
service there came a knock at the
kitchen door, and behind the knock
appeared burly tramp, with a hard
luck story and a bad look in his eyes.
Toku was suave and dignifed. He
heard the story, so maneuvering that
the tramp was standing on the door
step instead of inside when he had
finished the fairy tale. Then:
"You like fish% asked the son of
Japan.
"Betcher nfew grinned back the
caller. Got any?"
And as the door slammed, the sur
prised tramp heard: Lots! Come

POULTRY PRODUCTS

There are few industries less like
ly to suffer by competition, or that
offer fairer return for well self
direTed labor, than the raising Of
poultry on a moderate scale. Eggs
and chickens will ever be in demand.
The young and the old, the rich and
the poor, appreciate and enjoy them;
our restaurants and hotels are sell.
dom fully supplied, and our large
city markets usually take all they
can get and then are not fully sup
piled. Asmall area of land well form
ed, properly equipped with a warm
poultry house and stocked with care
fully selected fowls, will most sure
ly be source of continuous profit.
Or course this profit will greatly de-
pend upon the cost of food and the
care and attention given them. l al
ways feed variety of food to my
poultry; corn, wheat and oats with
plenty of green food, will surely in
crease the laying as well as the fat

MEAT PIE.

An old way of making English
meat pie is to take finely chopped
cold beef, put in a deep baking dish
layer of the meat, stew lightly with
breadcrumbs, season highly with
salt, pepper, butter and few drops
of onion juice; repeat the process till
the dish is full or your meat used up.
Pour over it cup of stock or gravy,
or, lacking these, hot water with a
teaspoonful of butter melted in it;
on top a good layer of breadcrumbs
should be put and seasoned and dot
ted with butter. Cover and bake half
an hour; remove the cover and
brown.

USEFUL HINTS


To keep moths from furs and wool.
en- articles: When putting away
furs and wooden articles for the sum-
mer, carefully wrap each article sep
arately in newspaper, and put pieces
of carbon away with them in tin box
or cupboard. Printers ink is death
to moths.
Mildew is one of the most difficult
stains to remove. Rub well with
brown soap, then apply a paste of
chalk and water, and put the article
in the sun. After two or thre appli-
cations the mildew wfll be bleached
out.
The fire can be drawn from a burn
by applying cloths wet in strong
alum water. 1t will also assist in
relieving the pain.
Stains on black cloth can be re-
moved by rubbing with freshly cut
raw potato. Afterwards rub with a
clean cloth
Always put the sugar used in pie

BREAKING THE COLT

The breaking of a colt is often
times done in a vicious and brutal
manner which often ruins the ami
NAL for life. 1t is good policy to
catch and handle them when quite
young, all the time quietly and gent
ly teaching them to lead. The colt
will never forget this kind treatment
in his earlier days, and when he is
being broken to harness a colt han
died in this manner will be far less
troublesome.

this you could do in the case of both

The Best Shampoo for the Hair.
Many shampoos are recommended for

their indiscriminate use Is injurious. The
