Farm Soles.
It Is a mooted question whether
swet or soar cream will yiejd the most
butter, but it is generally conceded
that tb. latter makes the best batter.
Sheep and chickens both do better
when allowed access to a plentiful sup
ply of fresh water. It is an odd and
absurd notion tat they do not need
much water.
A field of grass where I sowed salt
three years ago remained green through
out the dry weather when the grass on
othei fit Ids was dry and brown, says a
correspondent.
According to a practical farmer, the
Increase of a flock of sheep will corer
the cost of keeping It, leaving the wool
clear profit ; or the keeping may be
charged agatmt the wool, which will
not exhaust it all, leaving the laocbs
clear profit.
A change In food will be relished by
the sheep j aat as well as by any animal
on the farm. Nature Is a pretty sure
guide in such matters. There may be
and is a choice of food among those
that sheep will eat with a relish, says
an exchange, but It is a mistake to feed
what the? do not relish.
Small fruit trees can be protected
from mice in winter by this means :
Melt up your old tin cans, so that the
soldier will be all melted off ; then
wrap the tin loosely around the tree
anug to the ground. This protection
can be applied to small fruit plants
when set out as a guard against cut
worms.
The qcantity of air breathed by
cattle, although varjlng much with
their size, is probable about fire times
as great as that breathed by adult per
sons, who breathe a cubic toot in about
three and a half minutes. An adult
person breathes about 300 cubic feet In
Hi hours. But for healthy respiration
be should have from 25 to .TO tlmta as
much air. So with cattle, one of which
breathes about 2.000 cubic feet in 24
hours, which should be increased many
times for continued pure, healthy air
in the stable, although cattle are less
affected by impurity than man.
Useful Suggestions.
When the potter's ware Is boiled for
the purpose of hardening it, a handful
or two of bran should be thrown into
the water, and the glazing will never be
injured by acids or salt.
It any part of your body is frozen get
some tallow, trelt it, pour it upon a cake
of ice, ad let it cool ; then rub the
frozen part with the tallow. It will re
lieve the itching and take out the frost.
When molasdee ia used in cooking it
is a great improvement to boil and and
skim it before uslag. The raw. rather
unpleasant taste of the poor qualities of
molasaes is much Improved by this pro
cess. Embroidered plush frames for mir
rors, with a graceful spray of clover or
daisies on one side, are very artistic and
effective. They are stiU further orna
mented by placing a full bow of sa.la
ribbon in one corner.
Moths are very destructive to the
cloth aud felt used in a piano, and may
be kept out of it by placing a lump of
camphor wrapped in soft paper, in the
Inside corner, care being taken to re
new it from time to time.
Bone plates placed at the side or the
dinner plates for the reception of fruit
and vegetable skins, cores, pits a'jd var
ious things that are often laid on the
tablecloth, are very popular with tidy
housekeepers.
One of the most injurious customs in
regard to eating Is the practice of serrs
ing fruit at the beginning of breakfast.
The best medical testimony pronounces
acid of any sort bmtful It taken when
the stomach is empty. A more judi
cious custom provides frnit at the close
of the meal. Besides being easier di
gested at that time the fruit can bo bet
ter relished, if it is thought that the
fruit loses its flavor in a warm room
through a long meal, it may not be
placed upon the table, but kept in a
ccol spot nntil the time of serving.
The Cow.
The startling declaration comes
?rom the International Tuberculosis
Congress at l'aris. a bodv of distin
guished and renowned medical men,
that "the greatest enemy of the human
race Is the cow." Beef, milk, butter
nd cheese contain, accoiding to this
sentence, germs of any disease that may
be lurking in the cow or her brother tbo
ox, and this disease is thus sowed and
developed In the human system. Sound
beef or pure milk butter or cheese ib not
declared unhealthy, but the danger
arises out of the difficulty in detecting
disease in the animal. Many cows who
apparently are enjoying the very best of
health and whose milk Is rich and
creamy, and many a steer with sides
well rounded with such thick layers of
tender flesh as to make the mouth wa
ter, are impregnated with Tuberculosi
which, according to learned doctors,
can be communicated to the bnman
race. One safeguard, we are given to
understand, is to cook the meat well
and boil the milk, but this only lessens
the danger without removing it.
This declaration of learned doctors
has a tendency to destroy relations ot
the utmost confidence which has ex
isted in the human heart for ages
towards the bovine race. The fatted
calf has been the feast spread for prodi
ca! sons, and through ignorance these
gentlemen who have had large experi
ence In testing all the luxuries of life as
well as the hnsks the swine did eat,
have pronounced a fatted calf a whole
some and erjcyable dish. At any rate
after a meal on the busks they have
never hesitated to run the risk of death
and feast upon the fatted calf. Xot
only this but Canan has always been
recognized as a land flowing with milk
and honey.
In spite then of the anathemas of
doctors we propose to stand by the cow.
On the principle that, (whrre ignorance
Is bliss 'tis folly to be wise'' we would
have preferred, had the doctors not told
os all they know about the cow. and we
are devoutly thaDkful trat the cows
cannot bold a Congrers for they might
pass a resolution which would shake
car cor.Sdence in Hie doctors.

"Some one ought to bare a law parsed
problbitfo the sale of chewing; gum,'
a.id an optician to a newspaper reporter
the other day.
Why, does chewing g-nm hart the
eyes ?' asked tbe scribe.
'Does chewing- gum hurt tbe eyes ?
Most certainly It does, and this Is one
reason why I am so antagonistic to it
and denounce it. Not only myself, tut
eery scientific optician, will tell you
tbe same thing. And it is tbiay with
Its attendant-Injurious effects, that
makes tbe habit so repulsive.
'Only the other day I bad for treat
ment the case of a lady who came af
ter eyeglasses, and I thought it was
strange her eyes were in such bad
shape, unless there was some other
canse than mere failure on account of
sge ; and it couldn't be on that account,
because he was just la the rigor of
life, and rety handsome. Sol knew
there most be some other cause. I
questioned her about ber habits ot liv
ing, and discovered that the had chew
ed gum from the time she was old
enough to know what is was. Here
wasr tire cause without any farther
locking. Why, she bad to take tbe
highest power of glasses 1 bad, and ber
sight was as bad as though she were 80.
'The eye and the optio nerve are tbe
most delicate organs we possess, and
they can't be abused with impunity.
Tbe constant chewing of gum effects
tbe nerves tbat lead from tbe spine to
tbe eptic nerves, and strains tbe latter
until they are weak and give out.
It is tbe same, to a degree, with to
bacco users ; but gum chewing is worse,
as its victims cbew more constantly and
so keep up more irritation.
I constantly have cases that are
caused by this habit. Many young
ladies who continue the babit feel its
effects, and I have a good many cases
lately of very yoacjr girls with poor
sight and weak-eyes tbat, as I find by
tbe use of my instruments and from
inquiry into the habits of the sufferers.
arise from no other babic than tbat of
sum chewing. If you will notice, gum
cbewers do not have the brilliancy in
their eyts. the vivacious and f ull-of-life
look ; their physiognomy looks pale and
unhealthy.
If this habit is kept up a a craze, or
course the effect oa tbe eyes will be
more evident still as there will be more
cases.
Tor Baby's X other.
Never tickle a child. It is danger
ous and reduces vitality. Any nantU
ural emotion must be avoided. Tbe
more quiet and free freaa excitement a
little child is kept the better for tbe
child's health, strength and meutal
vigor.
If there is much sickness about tbe
neighborhood boil the water which is
usee in Labj's rood, for boiling kills all
the animalcule contained in the water.
Cool it before using.
For bead or any form ot indigestion
drink hot water, half a pint at a time if
possible.
Use cream, with hot water and su
gar, in place of condensed or natural
milk, as it is more easily digested than
milk. If hot water is added, then it
will not require any warming process,
whereby it may come in contact with
matal. Warm the food by placing the
bottle or cup In water to beat It with
tbe water. Be careful to have tbe
mouthpiece of the bottle properly clean
first scalded and then rinsed wilb
cold water.
In tbe spring let the child take bis
outdoor walks in tbe afternoon ; in the
autumn let bim ge out in tbe forenoon.
The spring mornings partakes of the

The whole bath is to preferred to tbe
partial bath. Nine-eighth degrees
Fahrenheit must be the decree of heat,

If the child dots not sleep well rive
bim a bath before going to bed. It is
an excellent sedative.
A. Serpent Among the Books. '
One day a gentleman la India went
into his library, and took down a book
from the shelves. As be did so be felt
a slight palu in Bis linger, like the
prick of a pin. lit- thought a Din had
been stuck in tbe corner of the book bv
some careless person. But his finger
began to swell thee bis arm, and then
his whole body, and io a few davs ha

There are mauy serpents among the

I Tbe Demon vt Despair.
Of all tbe eil spirits tLat are prone
to enter in and take possession of tbe
human heart, none is mucb more to be
dreaded than the demon of despair.
"Hare you neer yet eeen the day."
wrote one friend to another, wheu yon
were so near despair that you were ready
to pray tbat you might lie down and
die ?''.
"XeYer. I let no soch word as de
spair Into my creed," was the brave
answer an answer tbat seemed doubly
brave to those who knew against what
cruel odds this gentle, sensitive woman
had for years been doing battle. In her
girlhood a devoted father bad surround
ed ber with luxuries, and the early
years of her married life she had been
queen of a beautiful home, with ser
vants to do ber bidding and carriage
and coachman always at her command.
Bat sudden changes came. Death left
ber childless, and cloee In the wake of
this sorrow followed financial troubles.
Tbe stately home passsed into the hands
of strangers, and before her discouraged
husband could re-establish himself In
business, illness made him for months a
prisoner in the small room where they
lodged.
Then It was that the heroism of this
woman who all her life had lived in
ease and plenty, sheltered and cared for
like a hot-house flower, began to
astonish ber friends. A few choice
paintings and books, together with a
portion of her laces and diamonds, bad
been saved from the general wreck, and,
one by one, she cheerfully sacrificed
these treasures to pay for food and
medicine. At tbe same time she began
turning to account ber skill in the fancy
work tbat bad been her pastime in fun
nier days, and with the products of her
needle kept want at bay until her bus
band regained his health and found
work, ignorant of every kind of house
hold labor, she soon schooled herself to
the unaccustomed duties, rising at six
in the morning to prepare breakfast,
tbat her husband might be in time for
his new business hours.
"It is only for a little while," she
would answer, when he lamented her
hardships, "brighter days are on the
way."
But the days grew darker instead.
There were times when every door of
hope seemed shut and tbey scarcely
knew where to turn for means to Day
for the roof that sheltered them. Toil
and privation brought ill-health ia their
train, and often the daily tasks bad to
be performed with hands so swollen aDd
painful tbat It was torture to use them.
But through it all this brare soul trust
ed and hoped.
"The dear Lord netrer failed me yet,"
Bhe said to one who- wondered that sbe
had not broken down under her rjiir
dena. Nor will he fall her though the
days be darker still. Seven legions of
devils shall not be able to conquer such
a soul. It Is only when men let go their
fsithinGod that the demon of despair
overcomes them, for despair is tbe
bosom friend of doubt, and when doubt
turns the key, despair makes haste to
enter in, and. once admitted, he tor
tures his victims until self-destruction
seems their only way of escape.
"Continual resignation, I begin to
find," wrote Kmgsley, "is tbe secret of
continual strength," and true resigna
tion is the highest form of faith, tbe
faith that enables us to tread despair
beneath our feet and to come off "con
querors, and more than conquerors,"
over Katan himself.
Housekeeping Notes.
The steamer is a kitchen utensil that
Is not used euoueb. lor man kinds, nt
food are better steamed than boiled,
and the operation is better done in
this way. It Is better to steam fith
than to boil it, and oysters are delicious
when cooked In this wsy. They are
drained, laid on a plate aud steamed for
about ten minutes until they look white
and plump. The liquor is used for a
dressing, after beating and mixing with
an equAl quantity of eream, the liquid
being thickened with a little cornstarch.
It plum cake is steamed for three hours,
aud then baked Tor an hour, it is better
than when baked in the ordinary way.
Stale bread and biscuit can be rendered
8 fresh as when new, by steaming five
or six minutes. Do not let the condens
ed steam drop on the bread when the
cover is removed. Butter the bread as
it is removed and pile lightly on a hot
dish. Tough fowls are made as tender
as chickens by steaming as long as two
hours or so, if they are veterans ; fill
with a stuffing of bread crums, etc.,
berore putting in the steamer.
A useful size of steamer to have is
one about twelve inches high and fitting
over an ordinary iron-pot. Steamers
may be got small enough to fit a leas
kettle, cr big enough to have several
compartments. Things that are steam
ed can not burn, and once over a pot cf
boiling water, the hurried housekeeper
may dismiss them from her mind, only
taking care tbat tbe fire does not get so
low as to lei the water cease boiling.
This must not be done for an instant.
Manner and Character.
The two are. not invariably synony
mous, yet to a very great degree manner
is an expression of character and ie its
direct result. Fineness of preception,
delicacy of feeling, has its correspond
ence In shades and Inflections of man
ner. As civilization advances into tbe
finer social enlightenment, manner
becomes a factor only less important
than morals. Punctiliousness in those
trifles whose aggregste, after all, makes
np the sum of life is one of the attri
butes ef character and is indispensable
to polished manner. Tbe prompt re
ply to letters and notes; the due ac
knowledgement of invitations, of gifts,
of favors, are a part of the grammar
of social life.
Rudeness is justly considered as a so
cial crime. The ill bred person has no
place in tbe social fabric, and he should
be as much excluded from polite lire as
should the criminal from the business
transactions ot honest men. Beautiful
manners are tbe one inflorescence of all
forms of art. Noble sculpture, beauti
ful paintings, tbe harmony of music,
the charm of intellectual gifts, all find
their highest and most potent express. '
