HOME HINTS AND HELPS. —Almond Frosting: Almond frosting makes a delicious addition to a loaf of white cake. Beat the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, stir in half a pound of powdered sugar and a quarter of a pound of almonds, blanched and powdered to a paste. Flavor with orange flower water, and, if you choose, a few drops of almond extract.—Boston Budget. —Almond Blanc Mange (French recipe): Blanch and pound ten ounces of sweet and half an ounce of bitter almonds, add four ounces of powdered sugar and work to a paste, pour over a pint and a half of boiling water, cover and set aside for an hour. Strain and mix with two ounces of dissolved gelatine, then pour in a mold and set on ice. When firm turn out, and serve with whipped cream flavored with a few drops of extract of almond.—Farm and Fireside. —Potataf Salad: Slice some cold boiled potatoes, toss them lighty in oil and vinegar and dish sprinkled with finely-chopped shallot or chives. Filleted red herring kippei^, or kippered or smoked salmon can all be added to this salad. Slice some cold new potatoes, and arrange them with quartered hard-boiled eggs, sliced beetroot and 6toned olives. Prepare a sauce by well mixing one part vinegar to two of best oil, pepper, salt and minced parsley, chives and capers; pour this all over the salad and serve.—Household News. —Breakfast Dish: Procure an ox cheek, eleanse it well in salted cold water, and then let it soak. Place it iii a stewpan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil, and skim thoroughly. Add sufficient whole black pepper, salt, allspice and a blade of mace to season it. Simmer very gently for three and a half or four hours.according to the size of the check. Line a greased basin with slices of hard-boiled egg. Cut the meat into small pieces, and fill the basin two-thirds full with it. Strain some of the liquor carefully through a cloth, dissolve a little gelatine in it. flavor with tarragon or plain ▼iuegar. -and pour‘into the basin so as to fill it up. Next day turn out and 6erve with a good garnish. Cut it into thin slices when helping.—Leeds Mercury. —Preserved Gooseberries (green): Top and stem the gooseberries, wash in cold water and drain. To every pound of gooseberries allow one and one-quarter pounds of sugar and one and one-hatf pints water. Throw the gooseberries into a porcelain-lined kettle, cover with boiling water and stand aside a few moments to scald. Put the sugar and water in another kettle to boil. As soon »as it boils akiui and stand aside to cool. When the gooseberries feel tender take them out carefully with a perforated skimmer and slide them carefully into a pan of cold water. Let stand a few minutes, then lift them again with the skimmer and put them carefully into the sirup. Stand over a gentle fire and let simmer slowly for about twenty minutes or until they are quite clear. If the gooseberries seem likely to break take them out carefully and allow the sirup to boil a few minutes longer. When done put carefully into jars or tumblers and stand aside to cool. When cold tie up and put away. —Mrs. Rorer, in Orange Judd Farmer.

FOR SUN-BURNED CHEEKS. What May H» Don*. to Lenen Their Cn* becoming Color. - It is u little hard tQ ‘‘dress up” in the evening. whefi nothing seems to suit the sun-burned face and hands so well as the negligee outing costume we wear daily, which, by the way, should be navy blue‘or dark green; but suppose we have a secret talk together, nay blue-eyed maids, before it is time to appear at the tea table, and see if things can not be bettered a little? First, let me tell you, before you go on a water excursion, to thoroughly bathe both face, neck and hands with any pure cold cream, an excellent preparation for warding off and removing sunburn, that can be bought at any druggist’s. Then when you enter your room all heated and tired on your arrival home, first take a sponge bath, and after it fill a deep basin with lukewarm water, and into it boldly plunge your face, holding your breath an„d closing jTour eyes. Keep it there as long as possible without breathing, then “come to the surface,” take a deep breath and try it again, repeating the process a number of times. Gently dab your face dry with a soft towel, afterward sponging it lightly with alcohol, and sit, or, what is better, lie down and rest half an hour or longer. At the end of that time you will find your color will have perceptibly diminished, and a little baby powder deftly applied will remove the shiny appearance and tone down the overredness effectively. On retiring for the night bathe the face, neck and arms again, and apply the cold cream f as before directed.—Jenness Miller’s Monthly. Refreshing Sleep. Sunlight is good for everything but feathers. Away with heavy hangings, either above or below the bed. Beware of a dusty, musty carpet, says Good Housekeeping; better sweet* ness and a bare floor. . Do not fail to provide some means for ventilation during the night Keep the head cool while sleeping, but do not by a draught of cold air falling upon it If a folding bed must he used, com frive some way to keep it aired and wholesome. Let the pillow be high enough to bring .the head in a natural position; no more no less. Thoroughly air the sleeping room •very day; air the beds and bedding as often as possible. A dark, out-of-the-way, unwholesome eorner is no more fitted for a sleeping room than for a parlor. A feather bed which has done serviee for a generation or two Is hardly a desirable thing upon ~hieh to sleep.Detroit Free Press.

CONDITIONS IN NEBRASKA. On FroalMa a Large field, KrcepC fat the State’s Uardca Spot. A recent McCook (Neb.)dispatch says: On crossing the Missouri river running to Lincoln, the Burlington land agentsvp»rtv found a prospect which, from an agricultural standpoint, could not be excelled. Corn is luxuriant and sturdy and every stalk shows largesized ears sticking out from it'. It is so far advanced that the uninitiated could be made to btelieve very readily that it is past all harm from any source. Notwithstanding its fine appearance, however, it is not yet out of danger of fro6t. and will pot be for at least two weeks. A fine crop of oats has been reaped in this section. Much of it is still in the shock and a good deal of it has been stacked. It is thrashing out from thirty to fifty bushels to the acre and will average about forty. The wheat crop has all been harvested, and farmers are now busy plowing their land preparatory to putting in another crop of winter wheat. Leaving Lincoln the outlook is much less promising. Between Waverly and Fairmont, a distance of sixty miles, is a stretch of country which has usually been described as the garden spot of Nebraska. Crops have always been abundant here, however poorly they ! may have been in other parts of the state. Last year and this year hare been, the only known exceptions to this rule. Somehow this belt has suffered severely this year. It has rained copiously on all sides of it and all around it, b.ut the clouds refused to give it a drop of moisture until too late to save the corn crop. For a stretch of country sixty* miles long and sixty miles wide the corn crop is a comparative failure. It will only run from a quarter to half a crop, averaging as a whole about one-third an ordinary erop. Oats have not fared so badly. They are thrashing out from thirty-five to forty bushels an acre. Heavy rains fell over this section at the end of last week. They came too late, however, to save the bulk of the corn. Very much of it wilted beyond redemption and a good deal of it has already been cut for fodder. Wheat in this section is thrashing out fifteen bushels to the acre. West of Fairmont the scene again changes and an ocean of waving corn, strong and luxuriant, is to be seen as far as the eye can reach in every direction. The crop from Hastings to the western boundary of the state is practically made, and nothing but a killing frost can now blight it. It will average not less than sixty bushels to the acre, and very many large fields will yield fifty bushels. Around McCook is where the disasters of last year were most severely felt. The gains of this year have more than made up for the losses tliensustained. The whole section of country looks like a veritable garden, and the people feel buoyant beyond expression. Winter wheat is thrashing out about twenty bushels to the acre and the best fields are yielding thirty bushels. Spring wheat is running from twelve to eighteen bushels to the acre. Oats average from fifty to sixty bushels, the best fields thrashing out one hundred bushels.

Analia is a new crop nere wun wnicn the people are delighted. All kinds of live stock eat it with relish, and it is proving- to be fattening fodder. The first year it yields one ton to the acre, but after the third year it yields three crops a year, which foot up seven and one-half tons to the aere. It is worth in the market five dollars per ton, but to feed cattle the results have shown it to be worth seventy dollars per acre. It Is the coming crop all along the flats of ‘he Republican valley. a King's Doctor. IS40. The first notice we find of royftl payments to a physician was when Nicholas de Fernehan was called to the court of Henry III. at a salary, until he became bishop of Durham. In the accounts for the royal household, which date from the thirty-third year of Henry VI., and continue during the reigns of llenrv VII. and Henry VIII., we find no regular allowance was made to the royal physicians—they were given a ‘Toward,” i. e., honorarium; the royal apothecaries, however, were paid as in the form of a legal demand. Among the Cottonian manuscripts in the British museum are the accounts of Henry VIII. On May 16, ha the twen-ty-first year of his reign we note: “To Cuthbert, the King’s Apothecarie, in full; xxx.l. xii.s vi.d.” On October 18: “To the Sargeant Apothecary, his bill xxviii. 11. ii,s x.d.” In the twenty-third year of his reign, on February 1: “In reward tb Dr. Yakesley and another physitian, tiiii.ll.” On March 80: “Paid to my Lady Princess phisitian,in reward, xxvi. 11. xiii. s.” On October 5: “To Dr. Butts, phisitian for ye use of Dr. Thurieby, Bishop of Ely, by King's command, x 11.”— Gentleman's Magazine. A Bear’s Queer Memento. A big bear killed recently in the Dead Indian country, Oregon, was found to be carrying an odd memento of a previous episod e with hunters, in which he came off victorious, though not unscathed. In the stifle joint of one of his hind legs was an unusually large tusk of a dog which the hunters said must have belonged to a big bear dog. The tusk was well overgrown with skin, and apparently had been in the bear’s leg many years. Red hair means entirety in characteristics—no half-way business here. The owner will be very' kind or very cruel, very true or very false. It usually indicates a quick temper, though there are. exceptions. Very coarse red hair testifies to animal propensities. Auburn hair means a kindly, sympathetic nature. _ ClK 1889, 1,818,698 acres were planted in flax, which produced 10,250,410 bushels of flaxseed and 241,889 pounds of fiber. ^_______ Tax standard typewriter of the best make has big sleeves.

JUSNEW1m THEIR YOUTH ▲ Straoffe Story from a Nebraska Village. rhe Tlllaim Excited Om the IamaMd J Health and Vigor of the Older I •habitants— The Experience of Two “Vote." From the World-Herald. Omaha, Stb. A Wor d-Herald reporter was attracted by the evidence of renewed activity of some of the older inhabitants of the village of Bruce, a suburb of Omaha, Neb., and enquired the cause. Mr. Andrew Piukenkeler. who was a member of Company B of the First Iowa Volunteers during the war. made the following explanation so far as he himself is concerned : “In July, 18*56, while my company was on the march through to Austin, Texas, I was attacked with rheumatism of the worst kind in one leg at Alexander, La. Being weak I was suns truck and remained unconscious for several hours. Every summer since I have been unable to stand the beat of the sun, and have been compelled to give up my work. There was in my head a bearing-down feeling which increased until it seemed my head would burst, and it caused a ringing in my ears, and palpitation of the heart set in, so that the slightest noise would set my heart thumping. Several times it has rendered me unconscious for from seven to ten hours at a time, lu addition to this the rheumatism extended up my entire side until it drew my head down on my shoulder. I lost my strength and flesh and was totally unfit for work. “For twenty-eight years 1 have consulted physicians and taken their prescriptions without deriving any material benefit. My ailments increased in intensity until I Was assured that there was no hope for me. During last year I went into the butcher business, but the dampness from the ice used increased my rheumatic pains to such an extent that I was not only compelled to quit the business, but was confined to my house and bed for nearly six months. “In November last 1 read in the WorldHerald a case of a man who had been entirely cured from the ailments from which 1 was suffering, by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. On November 28.1 purchased a box In a week I was astonished to know that 1 felt better than 1 had for six months past, and before I had used half a box. The ringing in my ears beto lessen in volume and Anally left me. he pain from the rheumatism gradually left me, so that within one week from the time I took mv first pill I was able to sit up in bed On January 1st, I was able to go out and walk around a little.. The palpitations of my heart entirely ceased. On February 9.1 was so thoroughly cured that I accepted a position as night watchman in the Forest Lawn Cemeterv, remaining out of doors from 6 P. M. until 6 A. M. I taavp gained in weight frorfl 144 pounds which I weighed in November last, to 172 pounds which I weigh For nerve building and for enriching the blood Pink Pills are unexcelled. They may be had of druggists or direct from the Dr. Williams’ Medical Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for 42-50.

FARM AND GARDEN. PRESERVING EGGS. OM Methods Which Hove Been Tried and Never Found Wanting. There is no known method by which eggs can be kept to be equally good as fresh eggs, but there are many ways of preserving them so as to make a fair substitute for use in the kitchen. The great object to be attained is to prevent evaporation. Catting off the air from the contents of the shell preserves them longer than any other treatment. At present cold storage is considered the best method of preservingeggs, but few have the necessary facilities, and where the, amount is small one of the following • recipes will be found acceptable: Eggs may be preserved by packing small end down in salt, sand or dry bran, care being taken that they do not touch each other. They mast be well covered with the packing material and kept in a cool place. If preferred. they may be wiped before packing with vaseline, to which salicylic acid has been added, or given a coating of salt batter, or covered w ith spirit varnish made by dissolving gum shellac in alcohol. For preserving in lime a pickle is made in the following way: Take twenty-four gallons of water, twelve pounds of unslacked lime and four pounds of salt, or in that proportion, according to the quantity of eggs to be preserved. Stir several times daily and then let stand until the liquor has settled and is perfectly clear. .Draw or carefully dip off the clear liquid, leaving the sediment at the bottom. Tak& five ounces each of baking soda, cream of tartar, saltpeter and borax and an ounce of alum. Pulverize and mix these and dissolve in a gallon of j boiling water, and add to the mixture about twenty gallons of pure limewater. This will about fill a cider barrel. Lower the eggs in carefully in a basket or eolander, so as not to crack any of the shells letting the water always st&nd an inch above the eggs, which can be done by placing a barrel head a little smaller upon them and weighting it. The eggs should remain in the brine until ready for use. If it evaporates more water may be added, but the prckle should never be used more than once. These proportions will give brine enough to preserve about one hundred and fifty dozen eggs ARE SPLENDID LAYERS. White Crented Black Polish Said to Be a Very Profitable Breed. Polish fowls are unknown in Poland. It is conjectured that the name comes from the peculiarity of the head, or poll, and that the pollish or polled has been shortened to Polish. All the varieties of this breed have a large top knot or crest, shown in the illustration, which represents the white crested black. This is one of the oldest varieties of the Polish fowls. ' When well bred the plumage is a deep black with beautiful iridescent tints on the hackle, saddle and tail

WHITE CRESTED BRACK POLISH. feathers of the mate, the crest alone being pure white. There will generally be a few dark feathers in the crest, but the fewer the better. As ma y be supposed, this combination gi ves these birds a striking appearance and they are much admired when on exhibition. The Polish fowls are unexcelled as layers, but their eggs are not large. They are classed as non-sitters. In size they are small to medium, the mature hens weighing from four to five pounds and the cocks five to six. In favorable situations they are profitable to keep, but are not considered to be capable of enduring exposure to rain, wind apd cold like some other breeds.—Farm Journal. CARING FOR TURKEYS. It Pays to Provide the Birds with a Secure Boosting Shed. The turkey usually seeks a high roosting place, as a matter of protection from enemies, but the jumping from the tree limbs often causes lameness. They are also exposed in winter, which causes roup. A cheap shed, open on one side, with a high roost, will protect them from winds, and at the same time give them all the 'ad*

vantages of being in the open air. Such a shed will co6t but little, but care must be taken that no holes or cracks are in the walls, as small currents of air are more injurious than exposures outside. The walls may be lined with tough paper of some kind, which may be tacked on. By this arrangement more turkeys can be raised, and they will be less liable to disease. They can be easily taught to go under the shed by placing wii^e mesh along the front and confining them therein for a few days. The house should face the south.—Farm and Fireside. If your pasturage is short, feed corn fodder and help out the corn with some fall pasturage; barley, for instance, or winter rye. Siow these now iwhere the earlier grains have been [taken off and you will got well paid.

Uulrjr't ripe or Toteero. When in 1868 Prsf. Huxley was president of the British association meeting at Liverpool, a paper on tobacco was read in the statistical section, and Dr. Farr took voluminous notes. The professor strolled in and listened to a discussion started by one of the antitobacconists on the merits and demerits of tobacco. The professor joined in. and began by decrying the weed, of which he had been at one time a devotee. Then he went on to narrate how he had ceased to be a smoker for jearsi how he went to Australia on a scientific expedition; how, after a wearisome day. his party turned np to dinner in their tent; and how, after the tueal. all his companions lit up. “I could stand it no longer,** said the professor. *T begged a pipe and a pipeful, and I lit up. too. and I hare been a smoker ever since. **—Westminster Gazette. —Queen Christina of Spain has lost the legacy left to her by Don Alexandra Soier by a Strange technicality.
