A nce-Refl Home. THK Governor-General's sanctum in the regal residence at Ottawa is a cheery apartment lighted by two windows. A narrow door close to the desk gives ac cess to the private working-room and atelier of the Princess Louise. Portraits of the late Duchess of Argyll and the splendid Duchess of Sutherland adorn either side of the mi rror. On the man telpiece were two photographs of the Princess Louise, ons representing Her Koval Highness in her wedding dross. A wondrous piece of Gobelinc tapestry hangs on the southern wall. His Ex cellency's inkbottle is constructed from the hoof of the charger that carried Lord Clyde through the Crimean war. The portraits of his Princess-wlte confront the Laird of Lorne as he writes, and between them stands a miniature of Queen Victoria on ivory in a ruby-vel vet open case. Inverary Castle holds its own on the western wall, and the India-ink drawing of the "Home Com ing," done by Her Royal Highness, is admirable in its every detail. There are also paintings in oil from the brnsh of the royal lady, displaying masterly execution, Bonnie Scotland being espe cially favored by the gifted artist. A tabic in the centre of the room is dedi cated to an immense morocco-bo urnd volume, containing the various ad dresses presented to His Excellency upon assuming the reins of oftiee; while a case of salmon-flies, flanked by boxes of cartridges,tell their own tale of flood and field. The drawing room Is a charm mgly proportioned apartment, all dead blues and dead grays. Here is a wealth oi costly knick-knacks, an El Dorado of bric-a-brac. The walls glow with oil paintings and water-colors, the most noticeable a life-size portrait of the Princess Louise In her bridal robes; "A Passage from Elaine," by Dore, with Tennyson's words.Hn Do re's writ ing, underneath; a half-lengtli of Prince Albert, "Inverary Castle," " Glen Slnvra," " Windsor Castle,' "Como," and "Venice." On entering Her Royal Highness' boudoir the first object that strikes the eye is the branch of an apple tree in leai and fruit,trailed against the panels of a white door. A closer inspection reveals the "counter feit presentment," for, in order to kill the dead glaring white, the Princess conceived the happy and aesthetic idea of thus decorating the obnoxious portal. This she has done with her own hand, and the apples are ripe and rosy enough to cause a seeoud fall. A large photo graph of Her Majesty holds the place of honor, the background being a superb specimen of gobelinc. The escritoire of the Princess, with its gorgeous blot ter of red and the royal arms in gold, is a prominent object; as is alsoa paint ingof a brick wall covered with peaches, finished by the Princess two days before the fire at Inverary Castlo. Only think of it! not a single plaque , but ?i con servatory,one great tuft of ferns of the most vivid green stands on the right hand side of the fireplace and opposite the blazing fire--it was twenty below zero outside. Within hand-reacli of caressing fauteuils, in dainty little frames especially constructed, lay the ieading English, French and German newspapers of the latest date,while the newest Fiencli novel and the last quar terly occupied a gypsy table all to themselves. A portrait of the late Duchess of Kent is conspicuous, to gether with the photographs (with autographs appended) of the heir to the throne and his beautiful and interesting wife. Lord Lorne sets great store by three engravings, representing Quebec prior to its storming by Wolfe, picked up by hira in St. James Street. The frames, too, are remarkable from the fact that they are constructed from the timbers of a vessel sunk during the as sault, and only recovered within the last few months. Tiiere is an atmo speere of supreme luxurious ease In the bojdoir everything is in complete har many, and wears the appearance of being occupied. Evidences of the tes thetic tastes of its royal mistress are everywhere visible, from the dead-gold panels and their blood-red flowers, to the linnets and canaries warbling in quaint and picturesque cages, from choice and elegant literature in many languages to the quantity of woman's work lying on ottomans and lounges and chairs that seem to invite one to press them. "That's the luncheon-gong,"merrily exclaimed the Governor-General, add ing, as we proceeded to the dining room : "this is a hungry climate." Portraits, after Winterhalter, of the Queen and Prince Albert adorn the walls of the dining-room at either end. The buffets are of black walnut with game subjects in relief; two specimens of Van Goyen overhang sideboards standing in recesses. Stuffed wild duck shot by the Marquis hang on the centre panels of the sideboards—very fine birds, 100. The Han-like Ape. The life of Mafuka, who lived some time at Dresden, Is among the most in struct.ve of ape biographies, as the an thropoid to the human mind. Know ing how to unlock her cage with the key, she stole and hid it for future use; she took the carpenter's brad-awl and bored holes with it through her own table; when pouring drink from a jug Into a cup, she would carefully stop short of overfilling it. Her death had an almost hum&n pathos; she threw her arms around the neck of the direc tor, kissed him, and then putting her hand in his, lay down and died.

SUMMER FOOD FOR STOCK.— Beyond a doubt green grass is the best general food for stock during the season of the year that it can be eaten when it grows. No stock-raiser or dairyman, however, should rely entirely on his pastures for supplying food for his animals from April to November. If he does lie will not realize from them all the prottts it is poosible to obtain. The soil is some times too wet and at other times too dry to afford either a large quantity or a good quality of grass. But cattle relish a change of food, even when the feed of pastures is at its best, llorses, cows and sheep will eat a few pounds of old hay each day, even when the grass in the pastures is "up to their eyes." All dairymen, especially those who are engaged in butter-making, find It to their advantage to give cows a ration of dry corn meal, bran, or shorts during the entire time they are kept in pasture. They find that it increases ihe ilow of milk, and keeps up the con dition of the cows. The increase 111 the amount of the butter made more than compensates for the outlay for the dry food. Grass is the cheapest as well as the best food to rely 011 in fattening cattle, but they will gain much faster if they are allowed some grain duriug the time they are feeding on grass. They will also be in a better condition to gain when they are taken up for the purpose of stall-feeding. The change from green grass to hay and grain is too violent for the good of the animals. They should become ac customed to eating and digestion dry food during the surtimer. The time is past when good farmers endeavor to see 011 how small amount of food they can keep their animals. They now de v'se means to encourage them toeat ail the food they will. The greater the variety the more food will stock con sume. MANURES. —We observe that a large portion of our farmers (111 some places nearly all) draw out in spring the win ter accumulations of their cattle yards. It is spread as well as can be easily done with a manure fork and then plowed under. Much of it remains in unbroken lamps, and when covered with soil coutiuues thus in a mass un derground, where months are icquired lor it to become even partially diffused through the soil, and it is never thor oughly incorporated till the ground is plowed and harrowed for the next year's crop. The importance, there lore of fine pulverization and of thor ough inter-mixture is obvious. On stubble ground it should be lirst well broken to pieces with a brush harrow, and then more or less mixed with the soil with a common harrow, before plowing under. Manure treated in this way will tell most distinctly on the eoming crops. Our own observations show mat the value of manure is at least doubled by such treatment. On grass land, this inter-mixture with he soil cannot be effected but if the pul verization with the brush harrow can be done quite early, the spriug rains will wash the soluble parts. If the manure is allowed to lie in lumps on the grass, a part of the plants will get none, and a part will have more than they need. Manure which has been drawn out and spread iu winter 011 either grass or stubble, should be brok en finely with brush harrow as early as the ground will admit, before sub sequent plowing and harrowing. Farmer* anxiously inquire how they can obtain more manure. If they can double the efficacy and value of what they have, they will secure what will be equal to a double amount in quan tity. FARM ACCOUNTS. —When a farmer, at the end of the year, settles his store account, pays his smitli bill, with that his teacher, doctor and preacher— which tax is generally In the rear—and if anything is left Irom the amount realized by the sale of his produce, that amount is called tho profit; but it it falls short them he has made nothing. That is not a correct estimation of re sults, for the bills have 110 connection with the cost of planting, except the smith bills. A merchant doing busi ness on a capital of SIO,OOO, wanting to obtaiH the result of the 3 T ear's opera tion, takes an inventory ol the unsold stock; the amount of available ac counts, with money on hand after pay ing his store rent, his clerk hire, inter est on borrowed money and other ex penses incidental to his business, but does not include the expenses of sup porting his fatniiy, which might, if ex travagant, absorb all the profits, though it might be from 30 f o 40 per cent, on the capital. There are a large number of farmers whose real estate, with all the working stock and farming implements, cannot be valued at more than $3,000, yet by their profits realized have raised, clothed and educated from five to ten children, and to do this the}- must make a profit of 30 to 50 per cent, on the capital. Alpbabft of Proverbs. A GRAIN of prudence is worth a pound of craft. Boasters are cousins to liars. Confession of a fault makes half the amends. Denying a fault doubles it. Envy shooteth at others and wound etli herself. Foolish fear doubles danger. God reaches us good things b} f our own hands. He has hard work who has nothing to do. It costs more to revenge wrongs than to bear them. Knavery is the worst trade. Learning makes a man fit company for himself. Modesty is a guard to virtue. One hour to-day is worth two to morrow. Proud leoks make foul work in fair faces. Quiet conscience gives q.uiet sleep. Richest is he that wants least. Small faults indulged are little thieves. The boughs that bear most bang lowest. Upright walking is sure walking. Virtue and happiness are near kin. Wise men make more opportunities han they find. You never lose by doing a good turn. No more Bard Time*. " If you will stop spending so much on fine clothes, rich food and style, buy good, healthy food, cheaper and better clothing; get more real and substantial things of life every way, and especially stop the foolish habit of employing ex pensive, quack doctors or using so much of the vile humbug medicine that does you only harm, but put your trust in that simple, pure remedy, Hop Bitters; that cures always at a trifling cost, and ymw will see good times and have good heal th.— Chronicle. DOMESTIC. CLEANING COAT COLLARS, ETC.—(I.) The best material for cleaning coat Col lar-and grease spots of all kinds is pure benzine. The article is sold at the principal drug stores in cities. That used by painters Is not pure enough, and has a very unpleasant odor which the pure article has not, and the Utile which It has soon disappears. If this cannot be obtained, strong alcohol (ninety live per centum) wltl clean collars very well. A mixture of equal parts of strong alcohol and water of ammonia Is also used. The trouble with all these liquids is tliat not enough is used; a small quant li> only softens and spreads the grease spots; they should bo applied In sufficient quantity and repeated to not only dissolve the foreign matter, but to wash It out. (2). Two ounces of rock ammonia, 2 ounces ot alcohol, one ounce each of spirits ot camphor ami transparent so ip. Put all together in a large bottle, cover with one quart of soft water, ami when well mixed and dissolved it is ready for use. Spread the coat on a clean table, take an old nail brush, or oue of the small scrubbing brushes sold as toys, dip it in the mixture ami scrub the dirty parts thoroughly. Apply plenty ot this; then take clean warm water and go over tt again. Hang it out until partly dry, ami press with a heavy iron 011 the wrong side. KEEPING FLOW KKS-SLIPS. —By Invert ing a tumbler or 11 glass over r slip when first set out, and keeping it over alow (lays, it will almost surely take root and thrive. If a handful of well pulverized charcoal is put in Jlic earth when you plant a geranium, it will have 11 much richer growth and color. I have kepi scarlet Japonicas I'resli a very long time by putting their stems in a saucer ol' white sand; il the flower lias its under surface touching the sand, it will keep bright a very long time. By placing the steins of holly berries, or aum'Si any kind ol scarlet berries, in the sand a lew days, the berries will retain their brilliancy then alter tor months without being shrivelled. Au tumn leaves laid in sand and carefully covered over with a layer o; sand, lor sometimes only four days, will preserve their color perfectly and not have the fl it, still' look of preserved leaves. The scarlet dogwood and the yellow leaves of the birch arc beautiful preserved in this way. Lay them in with three or four leaves on a stem, and they will keep their graceful curves and waves as il just gathered; and one, by a little trouble, can have a more beautiful group qf leaves to grace a winter bou quet than oil or wax or varnish can make them. Guilty ol Wrong. Some people have a fashion of con fusing excellent remedies with the largetnass of "patent medicines," and In tills they are guilty of a wrong. There are some advertised remedies fully worth all that is asked of them, and one at least we know of—Hop Bit ters. The writer has had occasion to use the Bitters in just such a climate as wo have most of the year In Bay City, and has always found them to be first-class and reliable, doing all that is claimed for tlieni .—Tribune, WHEAT CAKES. —Three cups ol flour, two cups Indian meal; white; dissolve one small cake compressed yea-t in a cup of water; pour into a jar, add flour and meal; mix with lukewarm water to a stifl' batter, set in a warm place to rise over night; next morning add a tablespoonful syrup, one tcaspuonful salt, one teaspoonful soda; bake on a hot griddle. ANGEL PUDDINGS. —Two ounces ol flour, two ounces of powdered sugar, two ounces of butter melted in half a pint of new milk, two eggs; mix well. Bake the above in small patty pans un til nicely browned, and send to table on a dish covered with a serviette. A little powdered sugar should be sifted over each pudding, and slices of lemon served with them. The eggs must be well beaten before they are added to the other Ingredients. IT is a-serted that Misses Kellogg, Abbott, Gates, and our other famous songstresses manage to keep their voices clear by the use of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. Price, 23 cents a bottle. FISH CAKE*. —Take the remnants of any cold fish, pull them to pieces, and thoroughly mix them with a small p'eee ot butter and some mashed pota toes; season the whole with pepper and salt to taste, and a little cayenne. Form the mixture into cakes, and fry in but ter till of a golden color. Serve garn ished with tried parsley. CALF'S LITER BROILED. —Cut the liver into thin slices, wash it, and let it stand in salt and water for half an hour, to draw out all the blood. Season with salt and pepper, and broil, basting frequently with buiter. Either fried or broiled liver is more delicate It after it is cut into slices for cooking, it Is parbroiled in salt and water. APPLE TRIFLE.— PeeI, core, and boil till tender, a dozen tart apples, witn the rind of a lemon grated; strain through a sieve, add sugar to taste and put into a deep fruit dish. Make a custard of a pint of cream and the yolks of two eggs with a little sugar. When cold lay it over the apples with a spoon and over pour the whole place whip ped cream.

"AI>A." said the fat passenger, thoughtfully, as the brahman called nut the nil me of that station, "Ada; what is her other name, biakeman V" The brakeuiau for a moment held his peace with a scornful air, and then said, "Ohio, Rlr; Ada, Ohio." And then the party climbed out very meekly. "1 expect," said the sad passenger, "he lias had that played on him a great many times. I thought of saying it myself, and then It seemed to me that ithad a decided family resemblance to the Morrow, Ohio, joke, and I shut it oft." "I like the name," ! F.t'd, "because it is like Hob; it spells the same thing both ways." . "Then 1 suppose you think," said the tnll, thin passenger, "that Adam —" and he paused, with an air of pitiful timidity.

"Ah, no," she said, "1 have never raised anything tut full-grown men; but, land of the pilgrim! you should see how I raised thein—you should see me raise a man that weighs as much as David Davis." Upon a rising vote the mule was immediately elected financial secretary, with power to send for per sons and papers. KKCENTLV a well-known barrister was concerned in a case where the question involved was a to the mental condition of the testatrix. The witness under examination, herself an aired lady, hail testified to finding her friend falling, childish, and that when she told her something she looked as though she did not understand. Coun sel, cross-examining, tried to get her to describe this look, but she did not succeed very well in doing so. At last, getting a little impatient, he asked, "Well, how did she look? Did she look at you as 1 am looking at you now, for instance?" The witness very demure ly replied, "Well, yes,—kin.l of vacant like."

OK the genuine politeness of the na tive of Egypt we have never entertained but one opinion. That view has been strengthened after hearing of what took place a few days ago at a village in the Delta.

Whilst running at something like ltghtnin? speed he came across a grey-bearded Arab riding on a donkey in the opposite direction. The A rah hastily dismounted and begged the "Howaga," as he was in such a huny, to avail himself of his donkey for the rest of the journey. WIIKN a man in a Vermont grocery store was sitting upon the edge of the counter, and his feet slipped and tie raked the whole length of his back on the counter's edge and sat square down in a bushel basket of eggs which stood right where he couldn't miss It.
