THE HOME.
SPOTS AND STAIN'S.
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.

WHAT TO DO WITH APPLES.
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-

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

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,

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."

SHOES IN JAPAN.
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.
Phew I isn't it cold? exclaimed Belle-
field.
Don't you like it ? asked Bloomfield.
I can't say I do.
But you are one of the men who
were wishing for an old-fashioned win-
ter.
Well, it is a condition, pend not a
theory which comforts me now.
THE FIRST BLANKETS.
In the reign of Edward III. there
were at Bristol three brothers, who
were eminent clothiers and woolen
weavers, and whose family name was
Blanket. They were, the first persons
who manufactured that comfortable
material, which has ever since been
called by their name, and which was
then used for peasants' clothing.
Big ads. are needed to boom

Celery -Nerve Compound has
merit alone to commend it.
Dear sirs: I cannot praise Man-

I think its tonic and

passed. I was feeling poorly for
