Perhaps no one task is more difficult to the average housekeeper than that of removing spots and stainsfrom the household belongings and the family's wearing apparel. One day it will be a grease spot on the carpet or wallpaper, a smoke stain on the ceiling, an un- sightly blotch on the stair steps; the next coffee and tea, stains on the table- cloths, fruit, mildew or iron rust spots on -the white aprons or muslin gowns. ,It is t herefore well to know how to rem- edy these annoyances in the household and the suggestions here given will be found useful for the purpose: All grease spots may be readily re- moved from woolen goods without fear of discoloring by mixing powdered borax and pipe clay with a little water until a thick paste is formed, then spreading it over the spots and allowing it to dry, when it may be brushed off. The most delicate fabrics may be cleaned in this way. Smoke stains may be taken out of white ceilings and walls by the same treatment, When paint is dropped on floors or other wood work, a mixture of soda and borax will soften it so it will readily work off. To re- store damask furniture covering and silk curtains without fading add a tablespoonful of powdered borax and a fourth of an ounce of gum camphor to a tub of warm water ; work the ar- ticles through it until clean, then rinse and hang out. to dry ; press while damp. Color destroyed by acid may be restored by the application of a solution of buree, which neutralizes the acid. Ink spots in white goods may be removed by the use of acids and other things that would take the color out of deli- cately tinted gowns, table covers and carpets. These troubles may be rem- edied by waelting the spots immediate- ly with aerax water. Mildew, which is very difficult to deal will e with, yield to an application of chalk and borax, spread on thickly and placed in the sun. Iron rust, which is the most annoying of all blemishes, owing to its liability to eat holes in articles upon which it ap- pears, can be removed with a mixture of benzine and borax. Fruit stains so troublesome to the mothers of little ones, can always be extra ted by washing in boiling water to Ai bor- ax is added, but this must ,one be- fore the garments are plat in wash. Table linen with, wine or fruit stains may be treated in the same way. Mach- ine oil, coal oil, and tar spots rubbed first with soft grease and then rinsed in warm borax water will entirely dis- appear. An excellent cleaning fluid which will be useful alike in parlor, dining -room and kitchen can be very economically prepared at home, though it' sells at a considerable cost by the manufacturers. To make it take one pound of good Hard soap, three ounces of powdered borax, one of turpentine, and two of glycerine. Cut the soap fine and dissolve it in half a gallon of boiling rain water; mix well and add a gallon of cold water with the other ingrddients. Put in a jug and cork. Rub spots, stains, muddy foot- prints, grease shots, or any other dirt with, a little of this solution and they will he removed, and the freshness of thearticle r tics e restored. The housekeeper who always has a supply of this fluid on hand will find, her labor very much lightened, as well as have the satisfaction of keeping her carpets, curtains, furniture and cloth- ing fresh and clean looking. :'AitALESIS CURED—SWORN STATEMENT.

Most people have plenty of apples in the cellar this season, but one tires of an unvarying round of apple sauce, and apple pie. Try some variations. Select as many fair smooth green Ings as you have members in your fam- ily. Be sure you don't include any wormy ones. Wipe them clean and set them in an agage pie plate in your steamer, just putting in a small saucer to set the plate upon to allow the steam to enter freely. Steam till done. Serve each in a saucer ; dust it with sugar. and pass sweetened cream flavored with vanilla to eat upon it. Or lay a slice of stale sponge cake in a saucer, put the apple on this, then pour the, cream on the cake. Choose nice red apples, wipe and leave them whole. Set in an agate basin, add water (boiling) enough to cover, and cook slowly till done. Then lift them out carefully into your preserve dish, sweeten the juice, and boil it down to a syrup, then pour over the apples. Serve cold for tea or breakfast. Another way is to pare and quar- ter tart apples, put in a baking dish and pour half a cup of boiling water over them. Put in a hot oven and as soon as well warmed through, sift sugar over them to form a coating, then bake till done. To eat with them, prepare a syrup with one cup of sugar (scant), one coffee cup of water, the juice and grated rind of one small lemon and two tablespoonfuls of chopped and seed- ed raisins. Heat to the boiling point, let simmer slowly twenty minutes, turn over the fruit, and if you wish it; very nice serve with whipped cream. An apple pudding that is a pleasant variation on the perennial pie is made by slicing tart apples into a deep pie plate until it is rounding full. Over this spread a batter made as you would make buttermilk or drop biscuit, only soft enough to be spread with a spoon. Cover the apples with the batter. It should be stiff enough so it will not run, yet soft enough to spread. Bake till done, then invert the dish on a plate, strew sugar over the apples, grate a little nutmeg on top, and eat with cream. vent the lamp from smoking, soak the wick in vinegar and then dry thor- oughly. Occasionally washing and boil- ing the wicks in soap and water,_ and drying thoroughly, is also a good plan. Every day the charred por- tion should be rubbed off with a piece of paper or cloth and once a week the edge of the wick should be trimmed with a sharp pair of scissors,. The wick will burn with an even flame if it be, cut straight across and slightly round- ed at the sides. The reservoir of a lamp should be kept well filled, but when not in use the wick should be turned down to keep the oil from oozing up between burner and collar, greasing the outside and causing a disagreeable odor. When a lamp is lighted, however, it is best to keep the wick turned up to its full extent to pre-, vent smoking. To render lamp chimneys less likely to crack they should be put in cold wa- ter, which must be brought to the boil- ing point, after which tjley should be allowed to cool slowly without remov- ing from the water. Wash the chim- neys in ammonia water and wipe dry on soft towels that are free from lint; polish with tissue or newspaper. Rub brown spots with salt or whiting. Kerosene has always an unpleasant odor, therefore it is 'better to use the best astral oil for dining room and par- lor lamps. Some housekeepers per- fume these oils, but this is altogether unnecessary. Never mix two kinds of oil, for the light from such is bad. To make a lamp burn brightly drop in the reseryoir a pinch of salt or cam- phor. THREE GOOD RECIPES. Cranberry Pudding,—Crumb some stale bread, rejecting the browned part of the crust. Put a layer ofthe crumb in a pudding dish, then one of cran- berries, cover with sugar and dot with bits of butter. Alternate the layers of bread crumbs and berries until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of crumbs. Stir a beaten egg into a cup of fruit juice and Hour over the top, Bake slowly about forty minutes, or till the cranberries are cooked. Some- thing depends on the size of the pud- ding dish Serve withali liquid pud- ding sauce, or with cream and sugar, Foamy Chocolate,—Measure a quart of milk, reserving enough to wet to a smooth paste one 'tablespoonful of cornstarch. Put the milk on to heat; when it comes to a boil stir in the corn- starch, wet with the cold milk; scrape three tablespoonfuls of chocolate, melt it, add two tablespoonfuls of hot water and three tablespoonfuls of sugar; put over a hot fire and cook till it is smooth and glossy. Stir this into the hot milk and beat until it is frothy. This makes enough for six persons. Scotch Doughnuts.—Two well beaten eggs; one cup of sugar, one cup sweet milk, four teaspoonfuls of warmed butter or lard, one teaspoonful of soda and two of cream tartar and one tea- spoonful of extract of vanilla. Flour sufficient to make a stiff batter. Roll) and fry in hot lard. These are much like crullers. THE CARE OF LAMPS. In a certain household that I know, says a writer in the Boston Journal of Commerce, the lamps are a source of the greatest delight and comfort, for they are always spotlessly clean and they give a light that could not pos- sibly be better or brighter. The tease on for this is that the mistress, in- stead of depending -upon any of her sev- eral servants to care for the lamps and clean them, herself bestows upon them the necessary attention. When these receive a thorough cleaning -once ev- ery six weeks—the reservoirs and burn- ers are boiled in soda. and water and dried before the fire, not on cloths; as these might have lint. The cloth that are used for the daily trimming and dusting are frequently boiled to remove the oil. The shades are pol- ished and the lamps filled every day. The wicks of lamps will absorb more. oil if they are thoroughly dried before putting them in the burners. To pre - PEACE AND FEDERATION A GLOWING FORCAST OF THE YEAR A. D. 2050. ,fou. W. P. peeves, Agent -General for New Zealand, indulges in ProhleecY--The Empire Witt be United. If one may turn complacently from a period 2,000 years distant in one di- rection to a time 150 years off in the future, it may be amusing, if not in- structive, to read of the prophetic fore- cast which the Hon. W. P. Reeves, Agent -General for New Zealand, has given of the British Empire in the middle. of the twenty-first century. About the year 2050, he told a Lon- don audience recently, the British Em- pire would not be extinct but flour- ishing enormously. Sections would be found all over the world united in one friendly federated union. Local mat- ters would be settled in local parlia- ments, but important questions would be discussed in the British Imperial Federation Council, which would have taken the place of the. House of Com- mons. Unlike the latter, however, and notwithstanding the andin the increased res respon- sibility, sibs lily, it would consist of not more. than one hundred members. It would not always meet in England, but some- times in different parts of the col- onies, and now and again, as an honor- ed privilege, in New Zealand. The present great question of tb.e IMPERIAL DEFENCE would be settled, and ancient, barbar- ous and bloody warfare would not be thought of by any sensible nation. The great military and naval powers of the continent would be federated with us for the purposes of arbitration. By that time few nations would remain unfederated„so that those in the union would only berequired each to keep up a small military and naval power, so that tax -payers would not be bur- dened inthis respect. Internatiolnal arbitration was a difficult matter to carry out, but, just as clever men now devoted themselves to the science of warfare, they would then devote their time to the science of peace. here would also be courts of arbitration. for international matters, so that there would be no strikes or lock -outs. The idea of one man being able to tarn 1,000 others into the streets to starve, or of 1,000 leaving work because of a quarrel with the one, would never be 'dreamt of. • There would be a far greater number of public servants. There would still be private enterprises and private exploitation, but a con- siderable number of the industries would be under State control, The em- pire would work upon socialistic prin- ciples, but not such as were held by a certain extreme party.There would only be a few individuals, and a few would be kept in amuseum.

THE FARM. CUTTING UP A HOG. This is to be done skillfully ito make the best uses of the meat, depending on the way it is to be used. First, the carcass is halved by splitting the backbone. If bacon is to be made, the side is sawed doevn so as to cut through the rib bones, leaving a long strip from each side, which may afterwards he cut into pieces as may be desirable. The shoulder@ and hams are cut out and trimmed, and the rib pieces are reserv- ed for roasts or to be. salted for boil- ing. The head and feet are well worth saving, being cleaned and boiled and chopped into small pieces, then once more brought to a boiling heat and then poured out into molds • to 'set into a solid jelly, when it becomes what is commonly known as brawn, one of the most agreeable kinds of food to be eat- en cold. If some chickens are cut up and cooked with the meat, it\ is much improved. The thin meat, shoulders and hams are much improved by smok- ing. The meat keeps better during the summer,and is and a moderate smoking with corncobs or hickory bark with the small twigs adds much to the flavor of it, Flight best doneor smoking the saltingby should be rubbing of the meat. The thmeate,simple bel- ing cut into convenient pieces, is laid upon a bench with the skin down and a mixture of seven pounds of fine salt, four ounces of saltpeter and two pounds of sugar, of the quality known as coffee sugar, is well mixed. Sometimes spice of various kinds is added and on the whole is desirable. To the quantity of salt and sugar mentioned one ounce each of ground ginger, allspice and cin- namon may be added. These quanti- ties are for 100 pounds of meat. The mixture is rubbed on the meat ton the flesh side, not all at once, but at inter- vals of a week, the meat being left to drain during the intervals. To pre- vent drying of the meat the :pieces are piled one upon the other and a weight- ed piece of board is laid on the 'top. Three weeks of this curing is sufficient, when the meat is hung in a smoke- house for final curing by they smloke. The most important part of this pro- cess is the coolness of the smoke and the absence of the fire heat on the meat. The smokehouse should be tight, and to keep out flies it should be linedwith fine wire gauze. The fire is best made outside of the Mouse in a pit, having a stovepipe i laid d P P so as to carrythe smoke into the house through thfloor. The smoke is thus cooled and gives a much more pleasant flavor to the meat. Half an hour's smoking twice a week for four weeks will be sufficient, and 'this is better than to smoke the meat every day. If the smokehouse is made im- pregnable to•the meat flies and beetles, itv will be the best place for keeping the meat until the warm weather is ,about to arrive in the spring. Then the meat should be wrapped in paper, or tied in the common paper bags and hung in a dry place, or if perfectly dry it may be packed in boxes or barrels in dry bran, If it is stored in a cool, dry place, it will keep in excellent condition without moulding until the next season. SHEEP IN WINTER. The sheep is frail a animal. It is naturally a gormandizer; it consumes an amount of feed disproportionately large for its bulk, and extracts. rela- tively a small percentage of nutriment from it; hence the richness of its manure. Hence, also, like all gorman- dizers, with an overloaded stomach it needs air and exercise in order to w'ork off the gorge without detriment to it- self. A Merino shut up tight and fed suffi- ciently leads a cold-blooded, sluggish life; it stands a good deal doubled to- gether and shivering; it has not animal en- ough n- oug h warmth to liquefy the yolk and distribute it along the fiber. Hence it becomes clotted and pasty or flaky and nankeen -colored. The sluggishness of the sheep's vital processes renders it a small and infre- quent consumer of water, with an al- most morbid dread of touching it in cold weather; and by the same sign it ought to have all it will .drink and be encouraged by abundant exercise and convenient e eat access to water, to drink mare. are re e f ew flockmasters who need exhortation in the matter of feed- ince ee - ing; such is the natural generosity d of I the majority of farmers that I think more err in the direction of excess and 'wastefulness than penuriousness in feeding. But there are few men who provide exercise and water enough. Cis- tern water is much better than ice water, of course, but if the use of cistern water means an all -winter confinement in the shed, and ice water means a vig- orous daily run, abundant exercise, the latter combination is preferred,—Steph- en Power in Ohio Farmer. +1:'K ' grttA S GRAINS FOR POULTRY. With 'the majority of poultry keep- ers, grain constitutes the principal part of their feeding ration, at least in mon- ey values. Of the grain used in this country probably. Indian corn out- weighs the rest. It is fed whole, crack- ed, ground, raw or cooked. Corn con- tains very little bone -forming materi- al, while it is very rich in fat -forming and 'warmth-givingslbstances. Al- though though corn produces eggs with yolks of dark colors and rich flavor, it is not recommended for layers unmixed with other grains. For fattening purposes it cannot be excelled and should befed in various 'forms to keep up the appeti- tite. Oats are a good nerve food and are not fattening, but their happiness is an objection to. them; as is the amount of waste or useless matter in the husks, especially in poor, light grain. The first objection may be removed b grinding them very fine, but this is difficult to do. Oatmeal is an excellent food, but is rather expensive. If oats are to be fed whole or, ground husks and all, the heavier they are the cheap- er. Forty -pound oats contain but lit- tle, if any, mare weight of "husks than twenty-eight or thirty -hound oats. Very light or small oats will often not be eaten unless they are soaked; and made larger. This does not add to their nourishment, but compels .biddie to get out what little there is in' them. If hens that should lay are too fat a diet of oats will reduce the fatness. Ground oats and balled potatoes make an ex- cellent food for producing fertile eggs and vigorous chickens. Wheat, and its by-products, • screenings, bran and middlings, may form a part of an economical ration in many parts of our country. Ii screenings are used they For quick and easy work For cleanest, sweetest and whitest clothes Surprise is best For every use about the house Surprise works. best and cheapest. _�- 5cc for yourself. should be fed raw so that fowls could not be compelled to eat the dust, pois- onous seed and other foulness contain- ed in them. Moistened bran is apti to produce scours, especially during the winter, and if fed at all should be al- ternated with whole grain. Though wheat is rich in material for growth, easy of digestion and stimulates egg production, it should be fed less' free- ly than corn, as Loo much of it pro- duces diarrhoea.” SETTING AN ORCHARD. Prof. L. H. Bailey gives the following table to present the outside average limit for the planting of orchards,when the trees are allowed to takes their natural form: Apples, 40 feet each way, pears, standard, 20 to 25 feet; 1 rod; peaches 20 feet ; plums, 20 feet; apricots, 20 feet; grapes Gx8 to 8x10; currants, 4x6 to 0x8; blackberries 4x7 to 6x9; raspberries, 3x6 to 5x8. These are safe distances. In certain cases, however, where the soil is strong and the grower makes thorough work of cultivating, pruning and fertilizing, these distances can be reduced some- what with profit, except in the case of apples. These remarks will also apply to the common question whether it; is good policy to plant shorter -lived trees, as peaches, between apples and pears, I tall depends s u on the roan. In gen- eral, n- eral, it should be divoouraged, but if the orchardist gives the •very best atten- tion to fertilizing and cultivating, plantations can be mixed with good results. SAID "SCAT" TO THE LION. And the King of Beasts Ran Like Any Other Old Cat 1 'We were on the deck of the P. and 0. steamer Caledonia, nosing our way among the coral reefs of the Red Sea, I was falling into a doze, lulled by the rich, mellow monotone of the Eng- lish voices around me, when I was awakened by a remark of the General's. "Oh, a lion is nothing but a big, wild pussy cat, after all. He will( fight if he is hungry or attacked, but he ids by no means a natural fighter like a tiger oe a grizzly," "Oh, come now, General," objected a voice, "It is so," insisted the first speaker, "I'll never forget my first lion; but I've never been really afraid of one since." "How as that?" "Tell us the story," "Let's have it," came in a chorus from the group. The General took a long pull on his cheroot and began. "It was when I was a Junior Lieu- tenant. We had been having some pretty stiff work in India and, when things settled down a party of us ap- plied for leave of absence to go over to Africa, lion -hunting. We got it, and came down here to Aden, then crossed over to the African coast, in an Arab dhow, made, up our party of guides, beaters, carriers, and so on, and start- ed for a point in the foothills where our guides assured us the lions were thicker than dogs in Constantinople. We had been out three or four days when we pitched camp near a small river which the guides said was in the center of the lion district. We were all youngsters, and none of us uad ever seen a lion outside the zoo, so each one was naturally anxious to get the first glimpse of the so-called Monarch of thet01est During the afternoon I had been exploring the banks of the stream, and had discovered A ROCKY POOL, of considerable size about half a mile above the camp. Along, the edge of the evening I announced my intention of walking up there for a bath. The, guides tried to dissuade me, and told thrilling tales of being attacked by lions, and the like, but the beggars hate the very idea of a bath; so I paid no attention to them, and with my rifle over my shoulder trudged off to the pool. ' I disrobed on the bank and plunged into the stream,, The water was glorious, and I enjoyed flounder- ing in it to the full. There was a clump of big bowlders just in the center of the pool, tend I swam over to them and sat down on a small rock to rest. I had remained per- fectly quiet for about five minutes; when the advanced guard of a swarm of black flies discovered me, and I looked longingly over at my clothes. Then I nearly tumbled off the rock— for there, curiously nosing about my garments, was a lion, which, to My excited fancy, made Sir Edward Land - seer's bronze ones in Trafalgar Square seem mere babies. "I sat very still and held my breath. The beast poked about my garments for a bit, and then, horror of horrors! he placidly lay down beside them and prepared to go to sleep. In the mean- time, the black flies began to arrive and settle on•my naked back.I stook it as long asI could, and finally concluded d.hat I would as soon be eaten by a lion as by flies; so I suddenly sprang, to my feet, waved my arms wildly, and at the top of my voice yelled "S -s -c -a. a -t!" The lion jumped at the same time that I did, gave just one glance at me, and then, with tail erect and mane bristling, dashed off into the for- est. He never paused to look back, and I could hear him crashing through the underbrush for a quarter of a mile, quite as frightened as I had been. I sat down and laughed, then swam over, put on my clothes and returned to camp. The next day one of our par- ty shot a lion, which the guides claim- ed was the same Which I had seen. He was only an ordinary sized lion; but then I had my clothes on, and he was dead."

One of the most striking sights that of the traveler in theh takes attention Japan is that of the wooden sandal worn by the 35,000,000 of people. These sandals have a separate compartment for the great toe, and make a clack- ing noise on the streets. Straw slippers are also worn, and a traveler start- ing out on a journey will strap a supply of them on his back, that he may put on a new pair when the old is worn out. They cost but a cent and a half a pair. They are rights and lefts, and leave the" foot free to the air. We never see those deformities of the foot in Japan whick are so frequent in his country. They are never worn in the house, being left outside the door. Passing down a street you may see long rows of them at the doors, old and new, large and small. CHANGED CONDITIONS.
