USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. —Potato Snow.—Press a dozen hot,' nicely-boiled potatoes through a wire sieve into a warm vegetable dish. Serve immediately with hot cream seasoned with salt and white pepper, or wjth thickened gravy.—Housekeeper. —Coffee for One Person.—Take a tablespoonful of ground coffee, a cup of hot water, the fourth of the white of an egg, half of a cup of cold water. Stir the coffee with the wlyte of the egg; add the cold water; Boil. Add the hot water. Boil two minutes.— Harper’s Bazar. —Matting should never be washed with anything but salt and water—a pint of salt to a pailful of soft water moderately warm. Dry quickly with a soft cloth. Twice during the season will probably be sufficient washing for a bed-room, but a room much used will require it somewhat oftener. —A delightful sponge cake is made by beating the yolks of six eggs and two cups of sugar together and adding the beaten whites. Add to this mixture one cup of flour and ten tablespoonfuls of boiling water. Then a second cupful of flour and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Essence to taste; bake in a moderately’hot oven. —Ladies’ Journal. —Rice Pudding Without Eggs.—Wash a small half-cupful of rice, add a full •quart of milk, half a cupful of cream, three table-spoonfuls of white sugar, a little nutmeg, set in a warm place half an hour, then in a moderate oven, in fifteen minutes add half a cupful of raisins, and mix well, after ten minutes stir the pudding again, bake one hour and a half in a . slow oven.—N. Y. Observer. 'SQueen Muffins,—Mix two table spoonfuls of butter to a cream. Add one tablespoonful of sugar, and two eggs. Stir all well together. Lastly, odd two cupfuls of flour, a pinch of salt, two tablespoonfuls of good baking powder. Stir this to a smooth batter with sweet milk, almost two cupfuls of which will be needed to make it the proper consistency. Bake in well greased gem pans in a hot oven. The above recipe will make twenty muffins. —X^adies’ World. —To Repair a Mirror.—Pour upon a sheet of tinfoil about three drams of quicksilver to the square foot of foil; rub smartly with a piece of buckskin until the foil becomes brilliant. Lay the glass upon a flat, level table, face dow-nward: place the foil upon the damaged portion of the glass; lay a sheet of paper over the foil, and place upon it a Mock of wood or a pieee of marble with a perfectly flat surface. • Put upon it sufficient weight to press it down tight! let it remain in this position a few’ hours. The foil will adhere to the glass.—Farm, Field and Fireside. —Veal Croquettes.—One pint finely chopped veal. Half pint rich milk. Two tablespoonfuls cracker crumbs. Two tablespoonfuls butter. One tablespoonful flour. One teaspoonful salt. Half teaspoonful pepper. Three eggs. Put, milk on to boil. Rub flour and butter together and add to milk as it reaches boiling point. Stir till it thickens, then add veal and seasoning with two well-beaten eggs. Cook two minutes, stirring all the while, then take from fire. When cool shape mixture into oblong balls, dip in egg, then in crumbs, and fry in hot lard.—Detroit Free Press. AFTER SPRING HOUSE CLEANING Tfeen Is the Time to Put Up Fresh Window Curtains. After house cleaning come, or should come, fresh window curtains. * The wisest housewives prefer quantity to quality if they cafa not afford both, for in a smoky town the only comfortable plan is to have two complete sets of sash curtains, and lpt them be washed in alternation. For such washable curtains the simplest fashions are in favor. Often there is merely a wide hem at top and bottom, and the curtain pole is run through the upper hem. The old-time method of hemming with a double row of stitching, giving a little frill at the top, is a pretty finish for curtains in rooms of an informal style of furnishing. Thin curtains, which are to be made with plain hems, should be fuller than those which are intended to be trimmed with ruffles. Ruffles border aN the edges of the great majority of thin curtains and are particularly pretty when made of fine Swiss muslin, with small dots and figures, which continues to be the standby for all country house window draperies.1 Especially pretty for bedroom windows are the inexpensive white muslins, printed with designs in pale colors. All the old favorites for bedroom curtains are still to be obtained—scrim, ecru cotton, and Madras muslin. The cool looking blue and white Japanese chintzes likewise grow in favor for use in blue and white rooms. They are an instance of expensive simplicity, for the material, which is as dear as average French chintz, is not much more than ten inches wide. Among the materials shown for more elaborate rooms are plain clunies and ecru nets, with an applied design of white satin or sateen.—Chicago 'Rimes.

Do What Yon Can. . Seek not so much for groat things, jather be-faithful to the opportunities of the present, small though they may seem. Be at work for good. Do what you can; and dp it now. If you can not relieve suffering you can sympathize with them. If you can not give gold, give personal service. Teach children, if you can not instruct men. If not able to be a pillar of state, be a support and comfort to the household. Be a lamp in the chamber if you can not be ‘a star in the sky. Gladden the circle of home, if you can not illume the city. Speak to the few, if you can not preach to the thousands. If you can not bless the wide world, be a help, an encouragement, a blessing to those who are every day about you, so that they shall be wiser and happier and better for knowing you. So live, and your life will not be in vain.— Detroit Free Press.

FARM AND GARDEN. FOR WASHING SHEEP. Convenient Arrangement for Doing the Work at Home. Where water is found in sufficient quantities for the farmer to wash his sheep at home, we believe it to be the only safeguard against contagious diseases. A convenient arrangement for gashing sheep at home may be constructed as follows: Take an ordinary store-box, four feet. by four feet will do. Stop all leaks by the use of cloth and pitch, and place the box in such a position as to receive the water from a trough or pipe. Make a floating lid nearly the size of the box, and bore in it a number of half-inch holes, thus allowing the water to pass readily through the floating platform. To the middle of the opposite sides of the box nail two scantling in an upright position, extending about four feet above the box. To the top of tho scantling attach a windlass with crank. Join the floating platform to the windlass with two ropes, as seen in the illustration, and you have a rude elevator.

A BOX FOR -WASHING SHEEP. This elevator will raise the washed sheep out of the box without liability to injury. When the elevator is once raised to the surface, fasten the crank so that it will remain stationary, and the next sheep may be led onto the platform without a struggle. The box in present use on the farm of the writer works admirably, and can be recommended to all who will take the pains to construct one.—Farm and Fireside. STARTING ANIMALS. The Importance of Measuring Up to Theta Full Capacity. In the spring of the year, thousands of oolts, calves, lambs, pigs and chickens begin an existence on the farm that, in far too many eases, does not prove at all profitable to the owners. All young farm animals are capable of a certain amount of growth and development; but, in order to measure up to their full capacity, they must have a good start in growth, and then be kept growing continuously. There is no profit in raising young animals under any other conditions. If a calf or a chicken is neglected for only a few days, a lessening of the ration or an exposure to a storm, perhaps, though the best of care and feed be afterward given, the young animal will never fully come to the development that it would have reached had the conditions been unremittingly propitious. A little reflection ought to convince anyone that this is true, both in the animal and vegetable kingdom. The plant that droops in the garden does not produce in full measure at harvest time—every gardener has realized this—while the stunted calf, pig or chicken,though it may have an excellent appetite and be appa rently in good health, is universally known to be of small profit to raise. A large percentage of the young animals on many farms are not treated so that they fall into this category, but are neglected sufficiently and deprived of just enough necessary nourishment to turn the scale from profit to loss, or at best from profit to an even balance between cost and selling price. The margin of profit in raising animals on the farm is small enough under the "best conditions, and it requires the bqst qf care and unremitting attention as tp feed to secure these conditions. The same kind of food is suitable for almost every kind of growing animal upon the farm, and this should be, in a great measure.nitrogenous. Of this nature are milk, crushed oats, bran, middlings and clover, tbe latter, chopped fine and steamed, being an especially valuable food to go with the more concentrated cereals. Corn is more likely to injure a growing animal than benefit it, all things considered. Use growth-produo ing food in abundance and with regularity.—American Agriculturist. USEFUL BUILDING. A Comblifktlon of Corn Shed and Plain Poultry Home. This combination building can be used as a corn house, also as a poultry building, the lower part being higher than usual above the ground, thus insuring to the fowls more freedom from dampness or from being disturbed. Stairs from the corn room afford access

^ ,r* * Y\ to the poultry quarters, as shown in Fig. 2, where the nests are represented by N, roosts by R, dust-box by D B, and entrance for the fowls at E, from the stepping boards outside. The building is 50 feet long, the poultry house 10 fee*

high and the corn room 7 feet high. The width is 18 feet. It can be built at a cost of from $100 to $'.150 according' to the price of lumber and labor.—.!. W. Caughey, in Farm and Home. __ As the weather grows warmer see that fowls have a source of water supply that cannot be contaminated. (Nothing is moroimportant for them.

STUDYING NATURE. ■ Kleptomania, on the Darwinian theory, can be called hereditary. Monkeys often have it in a highly developed state. 8100 Reward, 8100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testimonials. Address, F.7J.

For every blood-taint and rder, from a common blotch or eruption, to the worst scrofula, it is a perfect, permanent, guaranteed remedy.

Be on your Guard. _ If some grocers urge another baking powder upon you in place of the “Royal,” it is because of the greater profit upon it This of itself is evidence of the superiority of the “Royal.” To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. To insure the finest cake, the most wholesome food, be sure that no substi- £ tute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted by you. % "* Nothing can be substituted for the Royal Baking Powder and give as good results.
