Stew OF Venison.

While we cannot all afford a roast
saddle of, v%enison, there are cheaper
cuts that, rightly treated, make a
most delicious stew. Cut the meat
into small pieces, dredge with -four
and fry in pork, drippings, bacon fat
or butter, until well Drowned. Add
to the fat in the pan a tablespoonful
-four, two small onions, chopped fine;
a Glove of garlic, and when lightly
Drowned pour in sufficient hot water
to cover the contents Of the kettle.
Simmer gently until the meat is ten
der-it will take, about an hour; then
take from the pan, arrange in a hot
dish and serve without delay. A half
teaspoonful meat sauce is deemed an
improvement by some cooks, while
others insist upon a few ,gratings of
lemon peel. Serve with an accom-
-,animent of currant or wild grape

IN PRAISE OF THE PINE
Oh, the pine, the green pine,

Oh, the pine, the green pine,
Let its praises be mine!
I sing of its beauty when south winds are
sweeping,
When partridge-vine under its shadow
When wood.roses Blow in the sunfecks
below
And the ferns present arms in a rioting
row,
Oh, the pine, the green pine,
Let its praises be nine!
Hail the evergreen pine,
Let its praises be mine!
/ sing of it's courage when north winds are
blowing,
OF its power of g~reennsss in freezing and
In the bloom Of the rose or the weight Of
the SHOWS,
When the pine-siskine builds or the last
songster goes,
Hail the evergreen pine,
Still its praises are mine!
Signs the evergreen pine,
Counties uses are mlne.
Lo! the masts of great ships where vast
oceans are spreading;
The floor and the stairway that dear feet
are treading;
The table and stool, and the windlass and
spool;
Lo! the last snug, strong box of the king
and the fool;
These gifts are all mine"
Sings the evergreen pine.
Hail the pine, the green pine,
For its God is still mine.
With its delicate beauty in summer winds
signing.
With the strength of its verdure in winter
undying,
Let us stand, let US rise, let us reach to
the skies,
Be glad in our growing if life sings or
sighs;
And for purpose divine
Trust the God of the pine.

HINTS FOR THE
HOUSEkEEPER
ml 81

An ordinary lemon is most useful
in the house.
Squeeze it into a glass OF water
every morning and drink with very
little sugar; it will keep your stomach
in the best of order.
If you have dark hair and it seems
to be coming out, cut off a slice Of
lemon and rub it into your scalp; it
will stop that little trouble promptly.
If you hare a bad headache, cut the
lemon into Slices and rub these along
your temples. The pain will not be
long in disappearing, or at least grow
ing easier to bear.
If a bee or insect stings you, clap
a few drops of lemon juice on the spot
and you will find yourself the easier
for it.
Fresh lemon juice is the best rem
edy for scurvy.
From the peel is distilled the es-
sential oil of lemon, which is used as
a favoring agent in confectionery, in
perfumery and also in medicine.
The peel is also candied and used
IN confectionery.
Add five drops of juice to the water
with which you brush your teeth. 1t
will remove the tartar and sweeten
the breath.
Salt and lemon juice will remov
rust stains without injury to the
fabric.
Dried lemon peel sprinkled over
Goals will destroy any disagreeable
odor about the house.
Mix equal portions Of glycerin and
lemon juice to moisten the lips OF a
fevered, parched patient.
A refreshing and appetizing dish
for an invalid is made by mixing the
Juice of one lemon with the we'll
beaten white of an egg, to which has
previously been added two teaspoon
tuls of powdered sugar.

Drinks O%ne-seventh of His Income.

A German physician, DR.. Hirsch.
field, has been computing the guam
tity of alcoholic drink consumed in
Berlin. Berlin possessed three years
ago 1882 drinking shops-one for
610 inhabitants-in addition to 3O1
where wine only is sold. During the
period the Berliners consumed 49,.
939,532 liters of beer, 2~4,7O4,525 Ii.
tiers of brandy and 19,956,O62 liters
Of wine. This works out at an av.
erage annual consumption a head OF
the population of 1854 liters of al.
coholic drink, at a cost Of 100 marks,
a mark being one shilling. AS the
average income of the Berliners, in.
Guiding ONE and children, is
about 6S3 marks, it may be said that
the Berliner spends a seventh of his
income in intoxicating drinks.-Lon.

THE LADY AND THE UMBRELLA.
Not Every Woman So Lucky as the
Heroine Of This Tale.

Heroine of This Tale.
In the storeroom that every rail-
road maintains for the safe keeping
of lost articles left in its cars by for
getful passengers there are always to
be found hundreds Of umbrellas. But
not every umbrella left in the cars is
lost long enough to find it's way to the
lost department.; itjmay' fortunately
be recovered sooner.
Here was a woman who had just
stepped from an elevated railroad
train to find it raining, and thus re-
minded:
"Oh! my umbrella" she said, and
turning to the train, which had al
zeady started along, she added:
Wait a minute!" a request by h
train unheeded.
And yet this woman recovered her
umbrella in a moment.
Here it is" said another woman,
who was travelling with her, had got
off the car after her, and had gath
cred up her friends umbrella with
her own as she came along.
So this forgetful passenger recoV'
cred her umbrella promptly, but not
all are so fortunate; thousands OF
umbrellas left behind by passengers
20 to the lost departments every
year.-New York Sun.
