Peculiar Origin or a familiar Phrase. The phrase "That beats Bob-t»il" is not uncommon even now in many parts of the country, especially in the South. Its origin is traceable to a race which occurred about 1840, or shortly before that year, on the famous Fairfield track on the Mechanicsville turnpike near Richmond, Va. In those days Bob Poindexter lived in Richmond. He was a sporting man, wore fine clothes and owned a number of horses. Among the animals was one he named Pizarro, a plain bay gelding, with black mane and tail, the latter bobbed short. There was nothing extraordinary •bout the horse, and nobody looked upon him as a laccr. But Poindexter took a notion that he could run. He used to drive Pizarro about Richmond hitched to a buggy. On the day that he was advertised to appear on the track a great crowd was present and excite ment ran high, for a gieatdealof money had been put up on other horses. To the astonishment of everybody Pizarro beat every boise on the track, and tbe people went fairly wild. Bob-tailed Pizarro never made much of a record. He won two or three races and then went to pieces. For years afterward when anything extraordinary happened in that section it was said of it, "That beats Bob-tail."—Baltimore American. Cooking by Electricity. An electrical cooker is one of the novelties. If the claims for the inven tion can be substantiated, the woes of the long-suffering housekeeper are about to vanish forever. The comforts of home will be secured without any of its worries. Smutty, smoky, disagreeable coal and frisky, treacherous gas is to give place to electricity. Beefsteaks will be cooked by lightning. The drowsy housewife can push an electric button before she arises in the morning and the tea-kettle will be humming a merry wel come when she gets down to the kitchen. The daj of tbe pine board and the butcher's knife is doomed. The public is destined to be treated to no more har rowing tales of kerosene oil explosions. And all this, the enthusiastic inventor claims, is at a marvelously low cost.— Chicago Neivs Recoid. Mr. Jo&eph Hemmerich An old soldier, came out of the War greatly enfeebled by Typhoid Hcver, and after being In various hospitals the doctors discharged him as incurable with Consumption.

The blood is not in a healthy state, and some treatment is necessaay. Give a pound of epsom salts dissolved in a quart of warm oatmeal or linseed gruel, and note the result; if not effective, repeat in two days. It may be that the feed or the water is at fault, and this should be looked to. Sometimes neglect to give salt regularly has this result. This thick ! cning of the milk is caused by a fer mentation in it that may be due to various causes, but it is mostly caused by the condition of the cow. Sometimes it has been caused by impure water, and sometimes by uncleanliness of the pails or pans.—American Dairyman. FARM ACCOUNT 9. The simplest form of accounts is the best for a farmer. A complete set of books as may be necessary in a store is not requirod. As the farm business is mostly made up selling and buying, the whole of the bookkeeping may be done with two books, a cash book and a ledger. Or a ledger only may be used, having one account for the cash. The double entry system is the best and the simplest. This consists of making a double entry of each transaction, as thus: A load of hay is sold; if for cash, the cash account is charged with the money received, and farm account, or the par ticular field account, is credited. If something is bought and paid for, cash is credited with the amount and farm is charged. If the cash is not received or paid in cither case, the parties are charged or credited, as the case may be. This is all that is necessary. Afterward, when facility has been gained, separate accounts may be kept for each depart ment, as the live stock, dairy, or each field of the farm.—New York Times. OCCASIONAL SUBSOILING. Probably no work on the farm pays so well as that done with the subsoil plow on land that has been well underdrained. The advantage of subsoiling is that one operation lasts a number of years, and if the drainage is perfect, the land never loses the porosity which tho subsoil plow gives it. If new land were drained as soon as the forest were cleared from it, subsoiling would not be needed. The j decay of roots of tree 3 in the subsoil | makes a natural drainage way through i which superfluous or stagnant water can ' pass. But in ninety-nine cases out of 100 drainage is not resorted to until the | compacting of soil and its inability to ] carry off water makes drainage neces sary. Then after the undcrdrain is . down it takes years of freezing and ' thawing and clover growing to establish the old water courses again, or rather to make new ones. The subsoil plow helps this work amazingly. It should follow the drain, and it will do good to repeat the subsoiling every few years, thus enabling the soil to hold more water without being saturated, because the surplus must always pass oil wherever an outlet is provided for it.—American j Cultivator. THE qtJESTION AS TO STRAW. It is a vexed question what to do with straw. One says it must be worked into much of it thiough the ani mal as possible, when a part of it will be made over into animal produce, and the rest, going into the manure-pile as dung, will be so finely ground up that it ; will rot readily; the rest to be used as litter. Thus all of it is utilized at home. Another would burn it, presumably on the wheat land, with the stubble, and says it is worth i? 2 a ton to the land so treated. Another would spread it and plow it under; and still another would sell it, the price obtained being from $2 to sls, according to the state of the market and the condition of the straw, whether much broken or not. The fact ! is, no single rule will answer for all i cases; each one must decide his own case j for himself, on business principles. If i no animal product of any kind can be I sold with profit, commercial manures can : be used to advantage to replace plant j food sold in the straw; and if there is n good market for it, sell it. If all these conditions are just reversed, use it up in the barn. If it can be neither sold or fed, the pile of it is large, and the quan tity of manure made is small, then burn it with the stubble. Last of all, plow it in; a last resort, because of the diffi culty in getting it well covered, and of the slowness with which it decays when so treated; not till decayed has it any use as plant-food. The manurial value of my straw is estimated at $2 per ton; if burned, half of this may be lost in the nitrogen, all of which passes oil into the air. If fed to the stock, it cannot but realize more than its mere manurial value, for nnimal produce is worth more than manure. If threshed by hand, and the straw is left in a good condition, little broken, it has been sold for sls a ton. There is a wide margin here for wise judgment as to what to do with the straw.—New York Tribune. RULES FOR PLANTING THE WHITE PINE. Edmund Hersey, Superintendent of the Bussey Farm, advocates the planting of the white pine. As a timber tree he claims it possesses more good qualities than any other native tree of Massachu setts. It is easy to grow from the seed or transplant when young. It will flour ish on a light sandy soil or on a peat meadow, and on ordinary soil the growth is so rapid that the tree will be large enough for lumber purposes in thirty-five years. When the seed is to be planted by man the cones should be gathered just before the first frost in the autumn and placed small end up in the grass away from all ocemies. After the first heavy frost, gather up the cones and shell out the seed by turning them small end downward over a vessel and giving them a rap with a stick, when the seeds will drop out. As soon as the seed is shelled it should be planted. The method of planting must depend on the condition of the soil; if it is a barren plain shallow furrows may be plowed from east to west, five feet apart, turning the furrows to the south to | oflord a partial snade to the young plant*. The aeed should be planted on the south side of the open furrow, drop ping two seeds near each other, thin leaving a space of four or five feet, and covering the seeds with earth enough to keep them moist, say not far from one-half an inch in depth. On rocky land, or where the soil is hard, dig out with a sharp spade a small sod where the seeds are to be planted, leaving the sod near the hole on the south side for shade, and plant the seed the same as in furrows. In a favor able season enough seed will germinate to cover the land, but if the season be unfavorable a portion of the land will have to be reseeded the following year. Where the land is shaded by trees germ ination will be more certain; but in such places, when the seeding pines are two years old they should be let out into the sunshine by removing the trees that shade them. In localities where seedling pines that grew naturally are numerous it is not expensive to cover land with pines by transplanting the young trees; to do this to the best advantage trees should be selected that are not over six inches in height, and in removing them a small ball of earth should be removed with each tree, care being taken not to expose the roots to the light or the air, and it is always best to do the work on cloudy days. The trees should be set five or six feet apart, and as they grow a sufficient number should be cut out to prevent crowding. When large enough for box boards or coarse lumber not more than four or five trees should be left on each rod of land.—Boston Transcript. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. The consumption of mutton is largely on the increase. Poultry aro early risers and need their morning moal early. The comb of a fowl may be consid ered as its health indicator. Good stock deserves good care, and good care deserves good stock. One advantage with ducks is that if properly fed they are rarely sick. Get the guineas to roost in or near the poultry house; they will act a<< guards. Ducks raised especially for market thrive better without a pond than with one. Mix a little flaxseed or oil meal with their ration in feeding the moulting hens. When fowls are kept in large numbers the risks of coutagious diseases are in creased. Poultry must have every-day care, and judgment must be used in the man agement. Turnips and potatoes aro best fed to poultry by boiling and mixing with wheat bran. Better do a little and do it well rather than undertake to do too much and fail to do anything well. Steady, continuous growth is what tells nowadays. "Storing" periods play the mischief with profits. Popcorn contains more nitrogen and phosphates than Indian com, and is therefore more valuable as food. A thousand pounds of capon meat can be grown much cheaper than you can grow the same weight of beef or pork. Ducks are hardy animals, and are not so liable to disease as are fowls. The percentage of deaths in a large flock is usually quite smell. If growing stock is carried through the winter only to come out next spring weighing less than now, wintering will be a profitless operation. Some breeders think that a cross of a single-comb brown Leghorn upon Ply mouth Rocks, Brahmas, or Wyandottes, for early broilers is unsurpassed. Thee is no profit in keeping cattle and half starving them. Profit lies al together in growth, hence tho greater the growth the greater the profit. While milk may be very beneficial to hogs, yet we see it stated that the re turns do not equal one-half of those ob tained by giving it to the poultry. While it is moTe convenient, at least on the farm, to allow poultry a good range, yet because this is given they should not be expected to make their own living. Those who have not given their hens aa evening feed of corn during the sum mer had better do so when the effect of the cool nights is overbalanced by the heating qualities of the corn. Brahmas, Cochins, Plymouth Rocks and Langshans fatten more readily than some of the other breeds; hence care must be taken in feeding or the hens will become too fat to lay well. It is not the large hsns that lay the largest eggs by any means. As a breed the Black Spanish lay the largest eggs, which are of a beautiful white color. A.ll the nonsetting breeds lay white eggs. Old hens that are too fat to lay will make elegant roasters, and will pay bet ter disposed as such, than to keep for the few eggs they will lay this winter; at least our experience has taught us that. If you did not give a general cleaning to the hen house before the cold of win ter set in, then kerosene the roosts and all nitches carefully. This is the lazy man's way, and the best plan would be to thoroughly clean tho house. If you have any little chicks that are peeping around frosty mornings because they need stockings to make thorn com fortable, it will be humane and money in your pocket if you take their heads off at a single blow with a sharp hatchet. If any farmers contemplate adding new blood to their stock they should by all means purchase the birds in the fall. The fowls are in tho best condition at that time of the year, and if they are put with the rest of the flock the best results will be obtained. Ducks and geese are naturally hardy and are easily managed if they can be given a good rauge with a good supply of water. Ducks are usually good layers and will, if properly fed and made com fortable, lay 100 egga in a season. They begin laying the latter part of January or early in February, HOUSEHOLD AFFAIBS. PICKLED OiDUFLOVIB. Strip off the leave* and quarter the •talk. Scald in salt and water, bat do not allow It to boil. Take the cauli flower from the dish to cool, sprinkle it with salt and water, put it on a colander for twenty-four hours to drain. When dry cut out the thick stalks, or If it be large divide It, give it a boil and split the flower into eight or ten pieces. Put these carefully into jars and cover them with cold vinegar which has been pre viously boiled with spices.—New York World. A REGAL DISH. Have you ever heard of a crown ot lamb? It sounds regal, but it is nothing more than an appetizing side dish made as follows: Take a rib of young lamb with the thick under bone cut away. Have the shanks "frenched," and the meat between them removed. When this is tightly rolled, the bones standing up ward in a circle, it has the effect of a crown. Inside the "crown" lay some finely cut spinach, gravied and garnished with slices of hard egg. This looks inviting, and its appearance is in no way deceptive.—New York News. WHOLESOME PUDDING FOB CHILDREN* A wholesome pudding for children, and one often tempting to their elders, is made from stale breadcrumbs and tart apples. Butter the bottom of a pudding dish and putin a layer of apples pared and sliced quite thick, strew the apples with grated crumbs, then with bits of butter, and a very little spica, either cinnamon or allspice, or both, if liked. Fill the dish in the same way as at first with alternate layers of bread and apple, with the seasoning. Sweeten with a half cupful of molasses, mixed with the same quantity of boiling water. The top layer of the pudding should be bread crumbs. Set the dish in the oven in a pan of boiling water. Cook until the apples are tender and the top is a rich brown. Serve as soon as it comes from the oven, with sweet creati: or fairy butter.—New York Post. WARMED-OVER DISIIE9. Don't let the family get a contempt for warmed-over dishes. When you do get up such a dish, be sure you make it so good that no fault whatever may be found with it; and do not have too mauy dishes of this class. Try to cook enough, and just enough, but should there be a little left, make good use of it. In the first of this series we will tell one way of using up the bit of ha3h that was left from breakfast. Let us sup pose there was only a spoonful or two left, not enough for another meal, or to coinbiue with other meat for the next breakfast. If it was chicken, or corned beef, hashed with potatoes and not chopped so very fine, chop till quite tine and mix with it a little mayonnaise dressing. Now spread it between thin slices of buttered bread, and you have a few sandwiches to serve for supper to vary the bread and butter. Some of the family are sure to be fon 1 of sandwiches. If the bash was well made and the sandwiches put up in good form no one will ever guess that they were made from the hash that was left over. If there is a lunch to be put up for anyone you can give them occasionally a sandwich of this kind without buying meat for that purpose alone.—St. Ljuis Republic. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Never use strong or rancid butter io seasoning vegetables. A scant cup of butter will often m%ke a lighter cake than a full cup. Onions and apple sauce are the pecu liar accompaniments of a goose. Milk is better for being kept ovet night in small tins than if a largei quantity is kept over in one vessel. It is said that to chew parsley after eating onions will remove the odor of the latter. Orris root has the same effect. A turkey when well cooked should be evenly browned all over. Cranberry sauce or currant jelly is the proper ac companiment. It is better to keep baked pastry in a cupboard than in a refrigerator, as it would be apt to get damp and heavy in the latter place. To keep jellies from moulding, cover them with pulverized sugar to a depth of a quarter of an inch. They will Keep for years if this i9 done. For mildew, which is not an uncom mon plant foe, dust with sulphur or sprinkle with sulphur water. Alio dig a little soot into the soil. A spray of pure oil of turpentine mixed with one per cent, of lavender oil is said to have an astonishing effect in purifying the air of living rooms, the action being attributed to the ozone formed. The crepe tissue paper which can be bought in many colors for twenty cents a yard makes the prettiest candle shades, and is much used for fruits and small sachets intended for favors for germans and dinners. An excellent remedy for laflamed eyes is to soak a little sassafras pith in boil ing water; let it draw until the water becomes slimy and then strain through thin muslin. Bathe the eyes frequently with the liquid. A large piece of charcoal laid in the refrigerator will help to keep it sweet. It should be renewed once a week. When meat and poultry are brought in to the house and are not eaten the same day, a piece of charcoal inside the poul try will keep it sweet. A fcandy receipt for curing hams Is thia: Take four quarts of salt, foui ounces saltpetre, four pounds of brown sugar dissolved in water. Pack one hundredweight of hams closely togethei and pour this pickle over them; let them remain ten days and then smoke. At this season of the year, when many heavy articles, counterpane', etc., are to be washed it is well to know of an easy and perfectly safe method. Into an or dinary sized boiler half full of water put one teacup of this mixture: One psund potash, one ounce salts tartar, one ounce muriate of ammonia; add the clothes and boil half an hour; rinse through two waters and dry. Children's hair grows more quickly than that of adults. Same say that light haired people are longer lived than their brethren with dark locks, which is not so consoling to the latter, since more than half of the inhabitants of this country have dark brown hair. Brocade* are fashionable. Rosa Bonbeur is still a busy painter. There are ribbons with satin back and face that iook like felt. Changeable moires are used for hand some reception dresses. Very rich, very wide velvet ribbon is used as a flat garniture. Mauve is still a good color, though the fietce rage for it has passed. The newest bright-coloret. changeable silks are called "sunshines." Among the Sierras there is a woman stage driver, Mrs. H. J. Langdon.

Miss Prances Power Cobbe, who has recently waged vigorous war on the vi visectionists in England, is described as an extremely jolly old lady, very stout, with a round, rubicund face, and her merry laugh is most infectious. She is generally surrounded by an army of pet dogs. Somebody, who evidently has wearied of the conservative styles allotted to brides, has attempted to start the fash ion of making a bride's tiaveling-dress in sonofe unique and hitherto unknown style. It is needless to say that the average sensible bride doesn't care to have her new relation ticketed on her wardrobe. Lean women who desire to accumu late a plump covering on their bones are advised to avoid worry, ti cultivate calmness, to sleep eight hours every day, to take moderate exercise, to eat fattening foods, such as soup, butter, cream, fat and juicy meats, olive oil and farinaceous articles, and to take warm baths at night. The home of the Roumanian Queen, Carmen Sylva, situate i in the heart of a forest at tho foot of the Caramian Moun tains, is beautifully decorated, accord ing to the Queen's own designs, the feature of the house being a music room fitted up with a beautifully painted glass ceiling and walls frescoed with a cycle of fairy tales of her arrangement. Miss Lily E. Benn has for the past three years lived in the East End ol London, and has interested herself greatly in the welfare of the children and young girls in that quarter. Perhaps her best work has beeu in her sewing classes, where she teaches girls from nine to fourteen years of age to cut and make tho garments for which their in structor provides the material. Mrt.
