KEEPING GOLDFISH. Some I'laln llirectliiUß Almnt ChanK- Inn the W liter nml f'eeillnit That Are ICu«> to C'ltrry Out. Jt is remarkable how seldom people »re able to keep goldfish more than a month or two at most, and all because they neglect a few first principles. Gold fish can be kept almost any length of time. «vcidents apart, if kept scrupu lously clean. The air in the water is soon exhausted, and they should have fresh water every day. if possible, of tener in summer, though once will do if the globe is fairly large. One can usually tell when the fish are needing fresh water. They stand up on their tails with their mouths to the surface of the water and move slowly in that position, generally making a bubbling sound. When you put the fresh water Into the globe let it dash in from a ieight, so that plenty of air gets in, too, and let your fish have a handful of shells or small stones. They look pret ty, and the fish appreciate being able to poke about among them for bits of food, and it gives them something to do and a little interest in life, l'eople frequently make the mistake of think ing that the fish get- enough food out of the water. This is not so; they need feeding when in captivity. Packets of fishes' foods, chiefly consisting of dried ants' eggs, can be procured from any •eed or naturalist's shop. As they re quire only a very small quantity once e day, their board is not expensive. They will live on vermicelli, but this clouds the water, and consequently in jures the appearance of the globe. It is said that goldfish should never be handled. This is no doubt true, if CHICKEN A LA BARBACUE. An Appetizing' and Wholesome Spring and Summer Dinner for Northern Housewives to Try. Southern people know every dish into which chicken can be made. The northern housewives, unfortunately, are limited to plain boiled, broiled, roasted and fried chicken, but here is something for the northern housewife to try which may be new to her. Take a fat, tender spring chicken of rousting sue. Clean and wash well ancs«_t inside " \ V ia\ JJ J' \ and out. Sprinkle over with flour quite heavily. Place in a kettle with heart and liver njid two cups of boiling water. Let it boil well, as you would for a pot roast and baste very often. When about half done, or so that it scarcely resists the fork, add one-half a cup of vinegar, boil until done and take out. Chop the liver and heart and serve in the gravy. Chicken is delicious cooked this way and served cold. The rich gravy can be used as you would for a pot roast, and baste very easily removed when the gravy is cold. Veal can be barbecued and the vinegar will be found to take away the dry insipid taste which veal has when roasted plain. they are kept for breeding purposes. Otherwise, it does them no harm—if due care is exercised—and you may pick them up one by one in your hand and pop them into their globe of fresh water. Never buy a fish unless the fins are erect and fully spread. Directly the fish is out of health the fins close more and more until it dies, when they are quite shut up against the body.—Cin cinnati Commercial Tribune. COLOR COMBINATIONS. Xo Vague, t'llilecliletl Sliade* Sliould Ever He Worn by I<adiea with lli'd TK»W». Insrtead of being dissatisfied with their lot, women with red hair should •tudy how to use iit becomingly, and be proud of the distinction of having it. There appears to be an impression among women with red hair, says an exchange, that almost any sliade of blue can be worn try them, because as a usual thing they have fair and delicate com plexions, but, as a mat'ter of fact, blue is the one color above all others that tiiey ought to avoid. The contrast is too violent and the combination is not har monious. The shades mosit suitable to be worn with red hair are bright, sunny brown and all autumn-leaf'tints. After the«? may be selected pale or very dark green —but never a bright green, pale yellow, and black unmixed with any other color. Mixed colors are not be coming to red-haired people, as they nearly always give them a more or less dowdy appearance. In fact, red hair is usually so brilliant and decided that it must be met on its own ground, and no vague, undecided sort of things should be worn with it.—C. W. Lyman, in Voice.

A Plennnnt anft Conifortnlile Ketreat Can He Mud* of It by Clever Ho u Me keepers. Every year the veranda is becoming more and more an integral part of the house beautiful. It is no longer merely a shelter from the elements, sparsely furnished with chairs, but is a living room and treated as such, and is fur nished with the same taste and care that is bestowed upon the rest of the rooms. Of course, it goes without saying that both the textiles and furniture employed must be as far as possible weather proof, UTILIZING SPACE. but this is no handicap nowadays, a» rugs and materials that defy rain and snow are to be had in the greatest va riety—except directly.on the seashore, where the dampness and high winds make it impossible. An outdoor room, netted in so that the lights at night will not attract troublesome insects, prettily and comfortably furnished, should be a part of every country house. Curtains made of colored awning cloth and hung with small brass rings on a slender gal vanized iron rod, so that they may easi ly be pushed forward and back, are both useful and pretty, although some peo ple prefer Venetian blinds or the rattan shades, which now come for verandas of any width desired. Hammocks, of course, are the natural lounging places for a veranda room, but they are now made much more elaborately than formerly, with valences hanging oa either side, and piled up with cushions of many colors. Another recent acces sory to outdoor furniture which has be come popular is the swinging sofa, leg less, of course, swung by four chains t» the roof, and filled with cushions. Even the divan has been adapted to open air furnishing. The accompanying sketch shows one which filled a corner of the veranda of a seaside cottage last summer. The shape is an irregular elongated triangle, with two sides against the walls of the house, and consists of a frame a foot high, on which is a mattress covered with India rubber cloth. Over this is a buttoned covering of green denim, with a flounce, and the drapery consists of an old sail and a fish net, which is held up by a pair of oars and a crabnet, all of which have been well seasoned by wind and weather.—X. Y. Tribune. To Soften Hard Wilier. Take of orange flower water half a pint, of best spiiits of wine a pint, and of soap three-quarters of a pound. Shave the soap into the orange water, beat over a fire until the soap dissolves, and then, the vessel being removed from the fire, add the spirits of wine. A large tablespoonful of this preparation added to a basin of washing water will completely softer, it, and render it de lightful to use. The ingredients can be obtained from a druggist. Forcemeat Klavorlnur.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1898 USEFUL HAY FRAME. It la Very Kanlly Made und at the Maine Time One «112 the Heat I'atterna Yet Devlaed. The illustration herewith portrays an easily-made hay frame, and at the bit me time one of the best. It is 14 feet long by (i'/ 2 or 7 f fiet wide. The two main timbers are pine, 2 by 8 inches, the four erosspieces 2 by 4 pine. The bows over hind wheels can lie jnade from old tires of the back wheels of a wagon. Forward tirea answer, but are a little short, 'i he boards over the front wheels exteuil- HOMEMADE HAYRACK, ing from first crosspiece to the third are ordinary 1 by 6-inch fencing ma-> terial and should be both bolted and nailed. Use eight one-half-inch bolts 12 inches long to secure the cross pieces to the main timber. The lad der itself is of oak to make it perfectly secure when a man climbs onto the load. The stakes at the back end are fastened with one bolt so that they may be turned down after the wagon is unloaded. They also should be made of oak or other hard wood. The materials for a rack of tills kind, not including the iron bows, cost at re tail in the ordinary country shopabout $2.50. Old wagon tires are found on nearly every farm or can be purchased for 25 to 50 cents. A good handsaw, a brace with several sizes of bits, a hatchet, a chisel and a square are all the tools necessary, and these should be on every farm. A blacksmith will make the tires into bows for a trifle, or a farmer may do this himself if he has an iron drill for his brace. A first-class hay frame can thus be made at home at the very small cost of three to four dollars, and if kept painted and under shelter when unused it will last many years. —Farm and Home. HIDES IN SUMMER. If You Tal»e Care of Them n* ller« Advlaed You M ill Save a (ireat Deal of Trouble. To cure a hide properly, it is first necessary to trim oil' all that does not belong to it, sucb as horns, tail-bones, sinews arid meat; ther. spread the hide out leaving no wrinkles ir. it and being careful to get legs and heads spread sc that salt can be sprir.kled on them, says the Nebraska Farmer. Then sprinkle salt evenly and freely on every part of the hide, putting on about three gallons of salt on a large hide, and •smaller ones in proportion: and nevei spread hides in the sun. Hides taken care of in this manner, after lying three or four days in salt, can be shipped almost any distance and In anj kind of weather, and go through in good condition aud with very little, if any, shrinkage. For shipping always tie your hides one in a bundle, as they often becsnie loose in transportation, and when more than one hide is tied in a bundle, the railroads deliver the proper number ol bundles, but not always the proper number of hides. Always write the person to whom you ship, notifying him the date you shipped, giving weights and number and stating whether horse or beef hides. All of this will be very little trouble and will sav® a great deal of trouble and possi ble mistakes. Sheep for Clearing; I,and. Wherever woodland is cleared a flock of sheep is extremely valuable to keep the cleared soil from being over grown with the bushes, weeds and shrubs which usually come up in fol lowing years. It is desirable to get thf cleared land in grass as soon as possi ble. When it is once seeded down it may be pastured with sheep all through the summer, not only without injuring the grass, but positively benefiting it, as tlie sheep will devote most of tl»eir time to trimming down the bushes and eating the leaves which shade the land. To make more thorough destruction of the shrubbery, an excess of sheep should be putin the cleared lot, and these must be fed some grain, so as to make their browse diet digest better. — American Cultivator. The Keet of the Colt. Neither the bones of the coft's leg nor the muscles and hoof of his foot have acquired sufficient firmness to en able it to be put on stable floors of either wood, stone or cement. If for any reason the colt cannot run with its dam while she is at work, let it have a yard by itßelf with a turf flooring rath er than put him in a floored stable. It is while the colt is young that the fu ture character of its feet is being de cided. Even in winter colts should be kept rather in box stalls, where a c d ding of their own excrement trodi a hard will be a better cushion for their feet than the most carefully cleaned floor stable could be. —American Cul tivator. CoMt of Ilaullnic Freight. The length of the public highways of this country is said to be 1,500,000 miles. The amount of freight hauled over them in one year is estimated at 600,000,000 tons, and the cost of cart ing it $1,000,000,000, but with really good roads this it<em could be reduced over one-hall.—Good lioads. TOO MUCH FOR THE COLONEL. The Corporal's Kxrutte s Considered Sufficient the C'lrrnniKtiiin^' A corporal in one of the regiments down at Chickamauga park had be come entangled with a difficulty, and as a result of it, added to an accumula tion of similar such, he was called to appear before the colonel of the regi ment. "Corporal .Icnkins," said that officer, severely, "you are a fine soldier and a sensible man, and you ought to coa duct yourself differently." "I was drunk, sir," exclaimed the corporal, very contritely. "That is no excuse. Don't you know it is wrong to get drunk?" "Yes, sir," admitted the corporal, without cavil. "Then why do you do it?" "I can't help it, sir." "You cannot excuse your fault that , way, sir." said the colonel, sternly. "You know you can if you want to." ; "But I can't, sir." "Yes you can," insisted the colonel. "A man can help doing anything if lie i puts his mind to it." The corporal stood up straight and saluted. "Iteggin" your pardon, sir." he said, "but do you think when I heard that t'ncle Sam had got into a scrap with them dirty, cigaroot-smokin' Span yards and was askin' his boys to take a hand with him to lick 'em off the face of the earth that I could help dropping everything right then and there and grabbin' tip a gun and takin' a hold with the old man and the other boys? Say, colonel, do you think a man about my size could help doin' just what I done and bein' right here ready when lie says the word?" The colonel was stumped for an in stant. Then he got up and took the corporal's hand. "Get out of this,"he said, hurriedly; "get out, and if you ever get drunk ngain I'll have you putin the guard house and nailed up until the war is over."—Washington Star. The Plaid Stocking. I The plaid stocking is this ytar such a beauty that the traveling girl wears it without fail. She chooses, if she can afford it, the sandal stocking which has the appearance of a white ribbon twisted around the foot and ankle like the Roman sandal of old. It continues from the toe to the top, and is quite the most remarkable stocking of the season. Small flowers of delicate de sign are scattered over the ground work of the stocking proper. The other popular type of stocking is much less expensive than the sandal, stocking, which is a novelty. It is a double-plaid in red, green, blue, yel low, black and white. There are stocking parties. Have you never heard of them, when young women of expensive hosiery tastes gather of an afternoon to sew and gossip and ex hibit stockings? —Boston Herald.

What He Carried on the Cars. To Take when Travelling. Jtvery traveller knows that continuous journeying on the railroad is very apt to derange the system in some way. In spite ol springs and so(t seats there is a contin uous jar and vibration, which acts upon the nervous system, and produces results varying somewhat, according to the strength of the traveller or his predisposi tion to some specific ailment. The most common consequence ot continuous car riding is constipation. And this condition invariably produces headache, and tends to biliousness. J. J. Converse, St. I-ouis, Mo., found a way to avoid the evil effects of constipation, to which he was_ subject when travelling. He carried with him "the pill that will" cure constipation and all its sequent sufferings. This is what he says: "Travelling on the cars tends to consti pation with me, but by using I>r. J. C, Aver s Pills moderately, my bowels are kept in healthy action. They also prevent headache."— J. J. Convekse, St. Louis, Mo. r>r.
