lle>t I'iMtioii lor Heult y Sleep. A doctor writing in a medical paper says: "An immecse u umber of peoplf sleep on the U*! t side, aud this is the most common came of the unpleasant taste in the mouth in the rooming, which is generally attributed to dyspepsia. If a meal Ims been taken within two or three hours of going to bed, to sleep on the left side is to giro the stomach s tusk which is difficult in the extreme to perform. The student of anatomy knows that all food enters and leaves the stomach on the right side, and hence sleeping on the leit side soon after eating involves a sort of pumping operation which is any thing but conducive to sound repose. The action of the heiirt is also interfered will) considerably, and the lungs are un duly compressed. It is probable that lying 011 the back is the meat natural po-ition, but few men can rest easily so, and hence it is best to cultivate the habit of sleeping ou the right side." Several thousands of hairpins, in many styles, have been recovered from Pom peii. A car brake has been patented that operates not on the wheels but on the rails.

Use plenty of whitewash about tho hen house and pat it ou hot. A fellow is never too late to learn, especially if he begins late in life to sell sugir for honey. A blush on the face of the sugar honey man should not be taken for a sign of embarrassment. It is the beekeeper who investigates who progresses. The conditions of yes terday are seldom repeated. It is a common fallacy for a man to consider his neighbor's business more cougenial and profitable than his own. Young stock do not often fail to pay a profit upon what they consume. Old stock are pretty sure to do exactly the opposite. If you would establish a market for your honey first create a confidence in your honesty and ability to furnish first class, absolutely pure honey. How can there bo any doubt as to whether beekeeping pays, when bees board themselves, and in any ordinary season furnish a surplus of honeyf No matter what kind of an animal is kept the value of the feed and of tho work necestary to feed and care for is the same. Why not keep the best? The beginner in beekeeping should not go into the business with an idea that he. can learn it in a day. Three or four days are necessary, and three or four years are better. It is not how much honey the bee keeper sells nor tho per cent, which he makes, but th 3 relation which his ex penses bear to his receipts which deter mines his profit.

To make potato puree take two cup' of mashed potato, one onion, four cup. 1 of boiling water, one cup of mtlk, on« stalk of celery, one toaspoonfut butter, one tablespoonful flour, with salt and pepper to taste. The onion, potato and celery are cooked in the water half an hoar; they are then rubbed through a colander. After returning to the tire, the milk, thickening and seasoning are added.—Boston Cultivator. CURLED WAFERS. Beat six ouuees of fresh butter to a cream, then mix it gradually with an equal weight of dried, sifted flour, three large well-beateu eggs, two ounces of fine white sugar, a pinch of salt, a few drops of flavoring essence and three 01 four tablespoonluls of cream; beat the mixture briskly until the various ingred ients are thoroughly blended, then drop it, a tablespoonful at a time, upon a but. tered baking tin, leaving plenty of space between for the cakes to swell during the process of cooking, which they Will do to a considerable extent; when cooked sufficiently and lightly browned remove the cakes from the tin, and while still hot twist each one very carefully to the form of a cornucopia, or a horn, m a ijentle inaunor so as not to break the wafers; return the cakes to tho ovon for a minute or two to stiffen into shape; then, when quite cold, put first a tiny spoonful of some delicate preserves into each, then a spoonful of whipped cream, aud serve tastefully arranged on a pretty glass dish.—St. Louis Republic. POrCORN BALLS. The popcorn ball of tho confectioner, made of tasteless corn, a small amount of white sugar and gum arabic, notwith standing its white beauty, is a very in ferior article in taste compared wit.i the ho:ue made balls. Iu our family the little folks are excaedingly fond of coraballs, nil 1 one of tho number, a young girl, quite prides herself on her skill iu ma'c lug t iem. The younger children shell the corn aud assist in the popping. A peck pail is almost filled with tne ex ploded grains, excluding those irrever ently dubbed "old maids," the grains that will not pop. lltlf a pint of molasses and half a pint of sugar are mixed together and put onto boil; to this is added half a tcispoonful of salt and a tcaspoonful of bitter; this must boil until it is about ready to candy, when it is poured over the com; as it is poured the corn should be gently stirred with the handle of a long spoon, and the candy distribute! through it as cVenly as possible; as soon as it is sufficiently cool, with buttercl hands the corn is formed into balls; the corn must not be pressed too hard when making the balls. The butter and salt—so there is not too much of the latter—improvo the taste very materially. Of course these balls are not so nice looking as thoso of the confectioner; but they are far more palatable.—Albany Cultivator. household hints. A heated knife will cut hot bread as s uoothly as jold. A few,drops of salad oil on tar stains will remove them. Eggs covered with frying will cook much more evculy. Milk is much improved by boiling for puddings, pies, etc. Add a pinch of salt to whites of eggs to make them beat up quickly. When sponge cake gets dry it is very nice cut in thin slices and toasted. A little flour dredged over the top of a cake will keep the icing from running. To purify the air of a newly-painted room put several tubs of water in it, and it will absorb much of the odor.

How many collectors of coins knot* anything about the curious half-pence issued centuries ago by English authori ties, half-pence in the truest «euie of the words, since they were nothing more than minted pennies cut directly in half? Specimens of these coins have been dis covered frequently among the buried treasures which from time to time hare been unearthed in Qreat Britain. In Lancashire in 1840 were fouud a rare lot of coins, among which were several pennies of the time cf Alfred aud Ed ward divided in this way. Similarly divided pence of the time of Edward the Confessor have been found, and in speaking of the discovery in 1833 of a number of thrse curious halt pence of the time of William the Con queror, an unquestioned authority states that they were probably issued from the mints iu that form, since the whole col lection had evidently been in circula tion. In the British Museum in London ore spccimcrs of these divided coins isaved under various monarclis from Alfred to Henry lit., with the latter of whom the custom ceiled. An eminent nrcbte ilogist accounts for the divided coins by saying that this doubtless aro?o from the scarcity of small change, which was in part remedied under the reign of Edward I. by the coinage of half-pence and farth ings.—Chicago Tribune.
