WOMAN AND HOME,

./'• I S

When I remember the world as I knew it forty or even fifty years ago, and compare these recollections with what I see today, the moral advance made by society appears to me unmistakable, and in this advance women have been not only participators, but active agents. This is not to say that there were not many good women in the time of which I speak, nor that there are not many bad ones now. But the position of women has essentially changed since that time.

In this country, of which we can speak with the greatest certainty, the whoie ideal of womanhood has been lifted bodily and placed upon a secure elevation. How should it be otherwise where freedom has given woman room to grow and expand to her full stature, and where the cruel gyves of servile superstition have been stricken from her intellectual faculties?

The question of woman's educational advance might almost appear superfluous in a day in which the ancient barriers no longer cross the onward path of the women who would know something.

The high schools and colleges of the country, once closed against women, are now in great measure open to them. Their record in these institutions shows their studious zeal and capacity. After and beyond this scholastic training, the education of practical life is now vouchsafed them in the variety which corresponds with the variety of their gifts and predilections. "What Will Ho Do With It?" is the title of one of Mr. JJulwer's novels, The question "What will she do with it?" has often retarded the granting of the higher education to woman. We of today can answer: "She is doing good work with it." Thorough intellectual training is making plain to her the laws which, underlie her ir.i/st gracious instincts, giving her tho rationale of the poetic saying that

Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues.

Tho pursuit of the higher education for women has been met by two grave difficulties, viz,, the fear that its emancipation would react unfavorably upon their moral nature, and the persuasion that severe mental application would impair the physical condition of the mothers of the race.

Tho first of these foregone conclusions springs from the tyrannical instinct which is at certain stages of society tho leading force among human tendencies. Not men only, but women also, wishing to command, naturally desire that others should be incapacitated from sharing their rule. The surest way to do this is to keep for themselves the secrets of tho knowledge which is power. Statecraft and priestcraft have closely allied themselves with these views, and in our days a sort of "rank craft" has done what it could in the same way.

The heroic mon who have vindicated the cause of human freedom have brought society out of this rut of fear and repression. They have shown, and history has shown with them, that the true danger of society lies in ignorance, and not in intelligence. The Channings, Garrisons, Phillips have made the atmosphere all clear and bright about vis. Before their time tho saintly women of tho Puritans and of the Quakers, and in their time the brave women of the antislavery movement have aided in trampling out the embers of tho old inquisitorial fires. Anil today tho women of the suffrage movement may point to Ann Hutchinson, Maria Weston Chapman,'Harriot Martineau and a host of others, and ask whether a woman is less a woman because more ft citizen, less fit for home duties because she has learned to apprehend rightly the relation of these duties to the state.

Much as I consider women to have gained by the position and opportunities secured to them in America, I have yet to name an important item which Is both a condition and a mark of their improvement. This is the fact of their ever increasing tendency to associated action.

The social Instinct is stronger in human nature, but it does not attain its best results without study and self discipline.

The women's clubs which are springing up all over tho country are marks of this study and discipline. I know of many of them, and I do not know of one x^hich does not koop in view serious and worthy objects. Tho feeling of sisterhood which naturally grows out of club intercourse among women tends to put out of sight the inordinate ambitions of the few, and the self distrusting passivity of the many.

In the club it is soon found that one woman cannot do everything. All must help, andWks are constantly found which give scope to the activity of each and all. A generous and far reaching sympathy tends more and moro to take the place of fantastic aims and illusory relations.

The women's clubs are, as I see them, the sign and seal of the advance of woman in health, in sound life, and in rational enjoyment and service.—Julia Wait! Howe in Boston Globe.

A Woman Who Wa» Coot.

We are reminded of an incident-that came to our knowledge some years ago which should show women that presence of mind and the power of self-coutrol have a saving power where impulse and lack of courage would have been certain destruction. We may have written this before—we are not sure—but it will bear repeating many times if any will profit by the lesson and learn to practice wif-control and similar presence of miud in circumstances half as startling. In tins case one instants wavering or weakness would have costa life.

A lady of wealth ami with he rich surrouttdhig* afei s»tly works of art Ut*i wealth bring* was oiw evening aiotte, with only one servant in the house, Beiug in her chamber as she laid aside articles of jewelry and placed them in their appropriate places in ber bureau, she chanced to raise her eyes to a mirror opposite, and from a light in the other corner of the r\x«n she caught in the mirror the reflection of tha figure of a man curled up wader a large center table, bat bidden from all sight save what was gained by UiH rcflectum in the mirror.

the liouse. Tell him to send them by yon tonight, even it not finished wait, IH write a note for fear of any mistake." So, seating herself with the greatest apparent composure at the very table where the man lay concealed, die wrote the note. Of comae &he wrote not for diamonds, but for help! The girl took the note, and alone, absolutely, with this great terror concealed close by her, tie lady waited. That no suspicion might be roused, she busted herself putting various things in different places. How terrible must have been that waiting! How full of joy and safety the sound of the bell when the girl returned, and with her the friend and the police, who captured the man before he could resist.—Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in Consumer's Journal.

To Whom They Are Indebted. "I don't owe anybody anything," protested one young woman physician to another, when gratitude to the older women who first ventured into the thorny path of medicine was suggested, says a writer in The Washington Capital. "I paid my fees, I took my course, I got my diplopia and no thanks to anybody." ''-Wi?'

This is the kind of individual who Ought to sit at the feet of gentle Lucy Stone and listen, to some of her reminiscences of the last half century. When Mary Lyon came to the little Massachusetts town where Mrs. Stone was brought up, she found all the women and girls making shirta for the Young Men's Educational society. The boys must go to school, but who thought of the girls! The boys could earn a dollar a day, the girls a dollar a week, when they taught school, and Mrs. Stone dropped her thimble, reasoning very justly that the boys could look out for themselves. When Harriet Hosmer wanted instruction in anatomy to help her in sculpture, she went from medical college to medical college throughout the east, and wandered as far as St. Louis before any school agreed to take her in. "She doctors" was the pleasant little term applied to the first woman who practiced medicine. When Abby Kelly went 011 the lecture platform to speak for the slave, a preacher, who noticed her in his audience, took as his text: "This Jezebel is coming, among us," and when Lucy Stone was to speak for anti-slavery in Maiden, Mass., the clergyman who announced the address did it after this wise: "I have been requested" by Mr. Morey to say that at the Town hay,.at 3 o'clock this afternoon, a hen will try to crow like a cock. All who would like to hear that kind of music will no doubt be on hand*" It is doubtful if the younger women ever can appreciate through what martyrdom the right to free speech and free action has been bought for them, but one comes nearest to such understanding when listening to one like Mrs. Stone, to whom the past is still present in mind and vividly real. •-W

"Wo roan's Hair.

How many black haired women do you know? If you take the trouble to count, you will find that, out of ten women you meet, nino will have blonde hairof some shade, and the tenth will possess dark brown rather than black. The tendency of the times seems to be toward light haired women, and, by the by, I do not mean the ones whose hair is made light by the use of peroxide of hydrogen. Scientists tell us that as a nation grows more civilized its women grow, more perfectly blonde, and students in the mysteries of lbve say that blonde women are the most affectionate wives and the least faithful. This is tho sort of thing that no man cau find out by personal e:qerience, but it's rather interesting to kuow. I

Curioils contrasts are occasionally noted in families, and none are moro emphasized than that between Mary Eastlake and her sister. Miss Eastlake has a halo of the most exquisite hair—blonde, without a hint of yellow, just such pure, perfect bloude as you occasionally see ou babies, and which it is rare to find on older heads. With this is the whitest, of: skins and great soft blue eyes that look at you as if they were pleading for somebody all the time. The younger sister has glossy hair so dark it might bo called black, and great brown eyes that look out at you as if questioning in a pretty way what the New World held. The much admired combination of black hair and blue eyes is seldom seen nqwadays^ except among the Irish beauties. The woman with very r^d hair, pale eyes and light brows and lashes,,is the nearest approach thatawomanoan make to being ugly, for ugliness with:women who have any intelligence at all^not a positive quality.—New York Sun.

Tho Clothing of Babies.

Although I own that children are now more sensibly clothed than was thecase thirty years ago, it is still common to see an infant, who can take no exercise to warm himself, wearing a low necked, short sleeved, short coated dress in the coldest weather. The two parts of the body—viz., the upper portion of the chest and the lower portion of the abdo-

men—which

it is most important to keep

from variations of temperature, are exposed, and the child is rendered liable to colds, coughs and lung diseases on the one hand and bowel complaint on the other. What little there is of the dress is chiefly composed of open work and embroidery, so that there is about as much warmth in it as in a wire sieve, ami the socks accompanying such a dress are of cold white cotton, exposing a cruel length of blue and red leg. I can not see the beauty of a pair of livid blue legs, and would much rather behold them comfortably clad in a pair of stockings. If the beauty lie fn the shape of the leg,thatshape will be displayed to as much advantage in a pair of stockings if it lie in the coloring of the flesh, beautiful coloriug will not be obtained by leaving the i$g bare sygd, from the artistic point of view, a bine or red stocking is infinitely preferable to a blue and red leg.—Jessie O. Waller in Popular Science Monthly.

Wherever you come ujwn a camping party the summer girl, be $he climbing a wuo.led slope or picking berries In an open giade. abandons her ribbon tied rilpenstock and L-ans. like ATnin Marion, on a bow. This sudden passion for Robin Hood's weapon does not imply a high decree of the archer's skill. Itulwd, many of the belted and tnsseJed damsels would be at a loss if called upon to neck the arrow or draw the string. Though a few of them cau knock over a partridge or a heron at short range, the design of the archer's outfit is nothing more or Iws in most instances th»n to justify a pretty ami convenient woods costume.

Atypical exam pie of the bowman's dress is worn'by a Brooklyn girl, whose party have been in camp for a month on one of' the best grounds. The gown isa dark hunter's green serge, the skirt of tthteh is turned up in a hem eight or ten inches wkIo, and which falls only a trifle below the kuee*. With this is worn a iooMS sailor blouse of the same color and material, briar stitched in white, and with a crimson lie knotted under the collar. Robber soled businns without beeis cover the feet, and above these are heckled fcggias of nndrewed tawnv leather reaching above the knee. feer head «*mpiaewa green set** fore and aft cap, and about her waist is a belt of the same tawny leather, holding pouch for the arrow*, tajeel and spare suing.

asol, completes the toilet, is a little oyer fivj feet long between nocks, mid its strength about twenty-six pounds. It is a fine piece yew, valued at nearly $100, and makes pretty appearance with its crimson, plus* colored handle. To do this Brooklyn gfcf justice, she practices shooting at a targe* nearly every windless day, and is quite absorbed in the care of her turkey feather^ arrows.—Boston Traveler. ls^ 'J,1 Moisture in the House*

A' pitcher filled with cold water and in a room in summer will "sweat"—at that is. what it is Commonly called, pitcher does not sweat, because it is not rous and cannot sweat but the cold inside of it chills the outer surface, and, soon as the outer surface of the pitcher comes cooler than the atmosphere in room, the moisture of the air will be preci]|tated upon the pitcher in drops.

This simple illustration should teach housewives to avoid suddenly opening in a house when the outside atmosphere is warmer than the temperature of the roojjos and full of moisture. In all such cases tjfce wall paper, furniture, etc., being cooler thin the outside air, will speedily have the mofpt-* ure of the atmosphere precipitated upfen them, and it will require days to restore |he house to the dry condition that is essen health.

There are no arbitrary freaks in the which govern the atmosphere surrouni us, and there is nothing obtrusive in ingthem. Warm, damp air will ever cipitate its moisture in houses and elsewhere whenever it comes in contact with anything chilled by a cooler atmosphere, and thai is the whole story. The only thing to be added is that, when people have thus ignorantly or negligently allowed their houses to became damp, they should light fires and dry t|em as promptly as possible.—Philadelphia

Paper Pillows.

During the Franco-German war the laHies in England were busy making paper cushions which they sent to France to be used forlthe wounded in the hospitals. Hundreds^ of thousands of these cushions were sent and 'were of great service. Now all England is crazy ou the subject of paper pillows again. They tear the paper into very small pieces, not bigger than one's finger nail, and then put them into a pillow sack Vf drilling or li^ht ticking. They are very cool for hot climates, and much superior to feather pillows.

The newspapers are printing appeals for them in hospitals. Newspaper is not nice to use, as there is a disagreeable odor from printers' ink but brown or white paper and old letters and envelopes are tho best As they are torn, stuff them into an old pillowcase, and you can see when you have enough. The easiest way is to tear or cut the paper in strips about half an inch wide, and theu tear or cut it across. The finer it is, tho lighter it makes the pillows.—New York Mail and Express. -J

A Female Athlete.

That was a lady to beware of that James Payne tells of in The London Illustrated News: "Miss Phoebe Boun, of Matlock, never made an exhibition of herself in any way, but William Hutton, in one of bus tours, speaks of her with wonder as well as praise. 'Her step, at 30, was very manly, and could cover forty miles a day.' She could lift a hundred weight with each hand, and, with the wind in her face, send her voice a mile^ 'She could knit, cook and spin, but hated them all with every accompaniment to the female character except modesty.' If any gentleman made a mistake as to this latter attribute, she knocked him down. She could bold the plow, drive the team aid thatch the rick, but her chief avocation Was breaking in horses, without a saddle, at a guinea a week. She was an excellent shot and a great reader fond of Shakespeare, and, doubtless also, of the musical glasses, since she played the bass violin Matlock church." i|

Fine Feathers.

In Queen Anne's time the dress of the fine lady was elaborate. When she exchanged her mob, morning gown and handkerchief for full dress and the park, she appeared in a laced bodice, word open in front over tight stays, surmounted, after Addison's remonstrances, by the tucker of qjodesty. Her sleeves were shortened so as to show the lace haugings, which fell to the wrist. Her apron covered but a tiny portion of the rich brocaded petticoat, which was distended upon the German hoop—a huge rotunda, such as that which was brought into the spectators' court of judicature. As the bodice descended the petticoats rose and revealed the bright stockings of thread or silk, which terminated in beautifully worked shoes of embroidered satin or morocco leather. In nothing were the fashions more changeable than in the height of the headdress. Addisop remembered it "rise and fall above thirty degrees." —The Quarterly Review.

Training Nurses.

Mrs. Robert W. Chapin, of this city (New York), has hit upon a very happy idea in deciding to found a training school for children's nurses and in endowing it with about $40,000. So nrach ignorance is displayed by nurses, and so many children are made unhappy by the treatment received at their hands, that it is surprising that Mrs. Chapin's plan has not been adopted long ere this. In the city of New York, and, in faot, throughout the whole country, competent, considerate children's nurses are decidedly scarce. The proper bringing up of the voting is too lightly regarded by a good many mothers, "but if Mrs. Chapin's new school will do its work well by turning out really well trained nurses, not only many a little one who is now intrusted by its fashionable mamma to the tender mercies of an untutored hireling, but the whole community, will be the gainer.—Epoch.

Brushing the Hair.

In a school for young women, not Car from Philadelphia, it was a rule some years ago that everj- young lady must, before retiring, give ber hair one hundred good strokes with tha brush. This regularity of brushing the hair most have had some good effect, for certainly all the students with whom I was acquainted had very good, glossy hair.—*New York Commercial Advertiser.

A little boy in a ililford school received his first day's instruction last week. Before night be had learned to recognise and spell one word. "Now," said the teacher, "yon can tell jtjcr grandmother to-night how to spell'ox,"* "My grandmother knows how to spell it," indignantly replied the loyal little feUow #"shs's t«ached echooLOneonta Herald.

Every woman who expects to be at the head of a house, and what woman does not! fcbould know something about cooking. 1 know a young man who is going to marry a 5"otmg woman who is a teacher of the art of cooking, and envy that young man the dinners that are before him.

That ever changeful and fickle goddess, has revived the banquet lamps which yearn ago were very popular. The presentstykt fafrather taQer than that formerly affected.

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?

STYLES THAT ARE APPROVED IN THE WORLD OF FASHION.

The Season's Hate and Bonnets—Low Crowns and Curiously Twisted and Indented Brims

In Favor—Ostrich Feathers* and Wings Are Popular Trimmings.

No great change is noticeable in the shapes of bats this winter, except that all are lower than last season. Where a high effect is desired, it is gained principally through the arrangement of the trimming, low crowns being the rule. Hats include a great variety of shapes—shovel brims, Mercury caps, capotes and toques of many kinds.

FIG. L—THE NADJY HAT.

The wide brimmed, fancy straws of summer have been exchanged for the wide felts, the brims of which are, if possible, even more curiously twisted and indented than those of the summer season. One style of trimming, lately effected, is to cover the low felt crowns with countless loops and ends of ribbon, leaving the brim quite bare. It may be added that some late English models show a tendency to higher crowns and piled up trimming.

In the newest English walking hats the brim turns up at the back as well »as at the sides.

Our first cut represents a ritylish English hat, the "Nadjy." It is in smoke-colored velvet, edged with silver tinsel and ornamented with bows and ostrich tips.

In trimmings, ostrich feathers are very popular, while birds and wings are also used. A favorite trimming is the accordion plaited bow, which furnishes pretty and expensive garniture.

Tho Marie Stuart bonnet is numbered among fashionable shapes in bonnets becoming to old and young. For elderly ladies it may be filled in with lace to make a soft, becoming front and fitted with lace ties. Fig. 2 illustrates a jaunty Marie Stuart for young women. It is in black velvet, with strings of

Gloves for Day and Kvuiiliig. Harper's Bazar gives tho following sum mary of fashions in gloves:

Four buttoned glomes of either dressed or undressed kid are worn with walking costumes. They are made with "drawn seams" (lapped and sewed through and through), and have "Paris points" like cords slightly stitched, instead of broad rows of stitchiug on the back. For more dressy wear at afternoon receptions and for visiting are mousquetaire gloves of undressed kid in tan or gray shades. For full-dress evening wear are similar Suede gloves of greater length, that are worn without wrinkles on the arms, and ineeting the sleeves: these are very light tan, gray, white or black, the rule being to wear white gloves with white gowns, black with black, gray with gray, and tan with every color.

For general use in the daytime are sac gloves, worn quite loose for the hand to slip in easily, and without opening at the wrist for buttons: these are of heavy Suede leather or kid, either gray, tan or black, tan beinjj most used. Some new gloves for very cold weather are of heavy kid, lined throughout with chamois skin. Driving gloves are tilburied with tan leather inside apart of the hand, while outside they are of any dark, heavy kid, with wide stitching on the back, and are fastened by large gilt buttons. Riding gloves are no longer gauntlets, but instead are mousquetaire gloves of very heavy kid, tilburied, and are in various shades of tan color,

l/ovely Coloring* In SlSk* and Satins. Under the head of silks, there is a decided feeling for satin and velvet, plain and brocaded, and there are a number of beautiful brocades for evening wear, and for mixing with wool for day wear. The newest have satin grounds, with the flowers woven in gros grain and edged with a raised woven cord.' The colorings are lovely. There is a new pinkj with a dash of mauve in it, called "camellia," full, rich and well suited to a brilliant complexion.

The heBotrope colors and Egyptian, viz., a mixture of viehx rose and terra cotta, are new. In nearly all the brocades there are two tints of the same color, such as willow and grasshopper, smoke and steeL Tinsel is cheaper, and really Handsome brocades, accentuated with gold or silver threads, may be had at half the price of a year or so ago.

Fashion Notes.

Entire sleeves, vests and yokes of for appear on scone winter costumes. Some of the long whiter wraps are very full, covering tbe figure like a domino.

The long waved astrochan fur is a popular trimming. -1 Skirts of ws&dng dreams appear to be increasing in length.

Striped and plain comeTs hair combined make favorite traveling dresses. Scotch plaids and tartans bid fair to achieve popularity this winter.

Jewelry was nam1 more] fashionable than at the present tima. 1 -r Dresses made new for dinners, receptions and evening wear hare tha neck more or lass open, with lace inside.

For morning and simple boose wear, the ppplr of tbe dress made high and often fin* fated with a small, straight collar.

,,L AROUND THE, .HOUSE.

Quaint Friezes,, Overmantels -and Screens Within the Skill of the Amateur. An amateur decorator tells of some pretty conceits for beautifying the house as follows: I saw a rather quaint frieze the other day for a staircase and hall, painted on the rough brown paper specially adapted for the purpose. An old witch riding on the proverbial broom, with a moonlight sky another a fairy on a rainbow. Puck on his mushroom, owls on a crescent moon, and several other novel designs were roughly dashed in with wonderful effect.

A pretty substitute for an overmantel is a mirror in a deep wooden frame, ionall curtains of yellow silk falling on either side. One seen had the upper part of the frame decorated with painted sprays of willow drooping on to the glass, while the lower portion was arranged with water lilies, a swallow being introduced here and there. On the mirror itself a couple of swans floated, reflected in the lightly painted water. The whole effect was very charming, and though a certain outlay of the "mighty dollar" was necessary to begin with, the entire cost was less than would be imagined.

Overdoors area great decorative addition to a room, three panels, a large center one bordered by two smaller ones mounted on a pointed frame, being effective, and handsome modeled flowers, birds or fruit are all suitable, and landscapes always look well if well done.

A kitchen article that has been cleverly transformed into an artistic boudoir screen is tho clothes horse, but. not in the way that has hitherto been seen. Three clothos horses, if double leafed, are required to make two screens, and they must be of graduated sizes and each one unhinged. One division, or half of each horse, is then taken and rehinged, and the result is a screen of throe sized graduated panels. The woodwork is painted, and the frame hidden with upper panels of painted cloth, brocade or plush, and lower ones in tho dado style of drawn pongee silk. These screens are handsome and look well in a room.

As, New Kliul of Amateur AVork, There is a craze for enameled furniture and knicknacks in English households, and

AS TEN'AMKLEn ROOM.

"enameling" is species of amateur work that is all the rage. As this pursuit may bo made very useful in its results, it is worthy of attention. Enameling is generally applied to articles in plain wood that are bought unfinished, or made from one's orders. Moorish tables, hall chairs, little corner cabinets, screens and stands are all tho objects of this 'species of decoration. Three coats of enamel paint are usually necessary, aud, as each one must be smoothly rubbed down to make satisfactory work, ladies should be sure that they have a good stock of both strength and patience before engaging in tho undertaking.

To show the extent to which enameling may be utilized, a sketch is given of a room In which the woodwork of all the furniture and decorative articles is enameled.

The pretty ingle work paneled with stained glass is ornamented with a fretwork rail at the top. The seat is upholstered in old brocade, and there «re pretty curtains of art silk at both ends. The mantle shelf and over mantel are both ornamented with fretwork, and the mirrOr is hung on a background of plush. The writing table in the other corner is convenient and pretty. Tbe outside is white, the inside pale blue. There is a book shelf on both sides aud a drawer at the end. The inside is divided into compartments for stationery. The photo frame makes a pretty ornament for the walL it takes half a dozen cabinets, and old china or pottery cau be placed on tho little shelf. The screen is ornamented with two hand painted floral panels, a couple of shelves for holding books or a cup of tea and silk curtains. One of the little tables can be utilized for a work table the other can be used as a flower stand, a table or a stool. Furniture is enameled in pale blue, red and ivory, but white and ivory are the two fashionable tints.

Roust Turkey, Goose or Duck. To cook a turkey, goose or duck so that it shall be "a thing of beauty and a joy"—as long as it iasts—requires culinary skill, und any one who is at all doubtful about the process should follow tho recipe of some good authority. Here are Miss Corson'* directions: Lay it in a pan with a slice of salt pork uuder and another over it, unless it is very fat, in which case it will yield sufficient dripping for basting brown it quickly, but do not burn it then season it with pepper, salt, and whatever gweet herb has beeu used in flavoring the htufling, and baste it while it cooks with the drippings in the pan If the oven Is of the proper* temperature, not too hot, no wat«r will be required for basting, and if only the drippings are used for this purpose the full flavor of the bird will be preserved. If "frothed" surface is desired, occasionally dust tho bird with flour from the dredging bor while basting it. To make the gravy, have the meat from the giblets chopped fine, and the broth in which they were boiled hot when the bird is cooked remove it from the dripping pan and keep it hot if there is more than about half a cup of dripping in the pan pour it out, and keep it for frying potatoes in: pour into the pan two tablespoonfuk of flour and stir over the fire until it ii brown, and then add the chopped giblets and enough of their broth or of boiling water to make a good gravy, and season It palatably. About fifteen minutes to a pound Is generally allowed foe baking poultry.

Oflter Forcemwl,

Many people consider that roast turkey the finishing touch unless tbe stuffing is inn/in with oysters. Following Ss a good recipe for oyster forcemeat Soak sufficient stale bread in cold water to fill the turkey and then squeeze it nearly dry in a towel: strip one quart of oysters through the fingers to remove tbe bits of shell, strain their liquor and add it to the bread slightly fry the oysters in two tablespoonfuls of hot butter add them to the bread with the butter In which they were fried, season the forcemeat with salt and pepper, and use It for the turkey. Instead of the oysters any flavoring or may be need in thestnffing,

Bemedy for a Tronble*om« Plant Insect.

One of the most troublesome insects on window plants is tbe aphis or plant loose. Tpbacco tea Is recommended as a remedy for thk in making it, many people use fine-cut tobacco and are disappointed not only in its r«fling to answer the purpose, but because it itains light colored flowers and is intensely disagreeable in smell. Tbe beat application for the purpose is an infusion of tobacco stems such as can be got from cigar makers. Thistloes not stain or smell as bed a* the other, tnd if applied once a week, graving it on the foliage, it will drive away and keep away Use aphis.
