Pork in Casserole. ---A casserole is a
ep earthen dish with clbse-fitting
ver. It is very useful for the busy
usewife, as food eooked in it requires
attention 'while cooking, and has a
licious flavor, as none of the juices
e lost. Cut 3 lbs pork in small
(lees. Put them into a miseerole with
large onions sliced and place on top
• the stove to brown; add a quart of
ter, cover closely and simmer in a
ol oven or on top of stove for three

salt, half a teaspoon pepper, and 3 eggs

pour into a pudding bag. The same
bag used before will, do if wen washed.
Tie it up tightly, drop into the pork
water again and boil anther hour.
RemoYe, let drain in the colander a
few minutes, when turn- out onto a
dish. Serve with the pork, and any
preferred sauce; mint sauce is good
to serVe with pork, and a tomato sauce
is always good. In feet, it is a na-
tural hygienic instinct which ordains
a tart fruit or vegetable to be eaten
with pork. The Germans, who are
noted for their freedom from skin dis-
eases, add sour fruit sauces to inordi-
nately fat meats.
TO KEEP CUT FLOWERS.
It is often hard to get flowers; but
when obtained it is still more diffi-
cult to keep them in a eatisfactory con-
dition, To arrange tbem tastefully
and effectively requires time and
thought. The imtnedia.to reLuoval of
one fadbag flower will often preserve
the others. •
Every morning flowers are taken
from the vases, and, beginning with
the stems, refreshed by a bath of pure
water -two or three minutes being long
enough for the immersion-taen taken
out and sprinkled lightly with the
hand. The water should be changed,
every day, and the water used for
Sprinkling must be fresh and pure.
Sunshine resting on cut flowers, is
very injurious, and the room in which
they are kept should be cold rather
than wartn. Gas saps the very life .of
delicate blossoms, and a bell -glass plac-
ed over them at night will be found an
excellent protector,
But m.easures for the preservation
of flowers should be taken before they
reach the house. There is a great dif-
ference in their lasting powers; but
the raost fragile ones may be, kept
in excellent condition for forty-eight
hours, if gathered before the sun can
stare them out of countenance and
placed. at once in tepid water. Those,
who show any signs of drooping should
be dipped head foremost in cold water
and gently shaken Flowers that have
travelled a long dista,nce are speedily -
revived by- this treatment.
Nasturtiums, heliotrope, and, above
all, roses, should be gathered at nights
if possible. Their stems, and those of
all flowers, kept in water, should be
cut daily.
The wistaria is a beautiful but per-
ishable bloesom that seems to pine
away in disgust when transferred to
the house; but the Ja-panese have
conquered this propensity by the most
heroic treatment. They burn the out
stem of the graceful droOper, and then
immerse it in spirits. Other „woody
plants, like hydrangea, branches of
fruit. blossoms, etc., can be treated in
the same way.
In sending flowers away, long narrow
boxes are more desirable than round
ones, and square ones are between the
two in keeping-nowers. Tin is the best
material, and wood the next best; yet
stout pasteboard often delivers its per-
ishable contents in good condition. Es-
pecially in the case of pasteboard is
a stout, rough, brown paper lining,
over top and al 1, a desirabl e addition,
after wetting it thoroughly in cold
water.
The flowers must then be carefully
etrranged in layers, each layer repos-
ing on its own bed of fresh green
ferns made very moist. Slender sticks
should be wedged in under the fern
bed e to keep thene in place, and when
ferns are not available, cotton batting
arranged in the actm,e way -will make
a good substitute. Strong -scented ones
shut up in close quarters with those
of more delicate perfume will almost
invariably destroy the dainty charm
of the latter.
A SIMPLE RECIPE.
Every ovviter of highly polished na-
tural -woods, and each piano owner
knows what an annoyance the "blue
shade" is.
Fortunate are they if in a weak mo-
ment or despair they have not resort-
ed to some sticky mixture to remove
the tinge. And nbw "a piano man"
says, "Use only tepid water and soft
cloth, rub hard, and dry well with a
chamois skin." How simple. For white
spots on yarnished furniture, or to
conceal scratches apply kerosene oil
with a rag.
if the spot is ancient or the bruises
cleep rub it once a day, for two or three
days. We never knew the third ap-
plication to fail. ,
Simplest ways are often the best
ways, and surely it is so as re-
gards bine mold and white spote.

TO DItY AND $lvIOITsE BEEF ANT)
Divide a rotezid.ro4i 3'bettsf into tWo see -
tions, follovving the natural lines of

a mixture of 2 lb. best dairy salt, I
°a. Palverized salt Peter, 11-2 lb. brown
auger. /lab some of this mixture
well into the meat 0408 a day until all
is used. At the end of two weeles it
will he ready to smoke. Excess of
smoke to not generally relished, In
an ordinary smoke house two weeks
will impart a pleasant flavor.
The following method of smoking
beef and, hams is in favor with many.
Smoke a barrel by inverting it eight
or ten days oyer a kettle containing
a smoldering fire. }Keep water on tile
head of the barrel, and occasionally
throw a pailful on the outside to pre-
vent shrinking. In this barrel paok
the, meat and peur over brine to cover,
in the preportion of 2 gal. water, 4
Ib. salt, a quart of molasees or 8 lb.
sugar and. 2 oz. saltpeter. Boil, skim
ansi do not use until cold. In ten daya
or two weeks, according to the degree
of saltuess desired, take out the meat;
soak 12 hours lit cold water to prevent
a crest forming on the outside, drain
thoroughly- and hang to dry. It may
be near a fire for ten days, and
should then be hung, to finish drying
in the pantry or in a lower tempera -
When smoking meat, be sure to have
smoke, but as little heat as possible.
Corncebs, green hieleory or maple chips
and. wood are used. •
Some recommend, placing hams,
while wet from the brine, in a tub of
bran or hard -wood sawdust; this, it is
said, prevents evaporation of the
juices at the meat during the process
of snaoking. If a good. "smudge" is
kept up constantly, a month suffices
to smoke an average -sized ham; beef
being smaller requires less time. The
smoke flavor desired must govern the
time. Hams shrink in smoking about
10 per cent.
In the absence pf a smoke -house, we
have found the following a convenient
arrangement Dig a trench about three
feet long and six or more inches wide.
Cover with boards and brick, then
with earth, at one end dig a hole two
or more feet deepand large enough
to hold an iron. kettle. Remove one
head. from a light barrel, fasten an
inch cleat to the. inside of the other
end, and drive nails in the side of it
from which to suspend the meat.
Place the barrel over one end. of the
trench, and cover with several thick-
nesses of old. carpetiug ;.set kettle in
place at the other end,' end build a
smoldering fire of green chips or saw—
dust. For a large ham, confine the
smoke about 40 hours. .
If one has beef to smoke nails may
be driven round the head of a tight
barrel. upon which to hang the meat.
Place the barrel over a smouldering
fire and cover with carpet or blanket,
These methods may be deemed quite
primitive, but we know from experi-
ence that they are, effective.
To keep dried beef -when well
dried, wipe with a damp cloth; then
rub every part of the surface with
powdered borax, using it mare freely
iit seams and crevices. Store in flour
sacks and tie closely. Repeat the
borax application several times during
the seaeon. ,
To, keep a .bern a year or longer, cut
in slines, rertIOVe the rind axid the
rough, discolored .edges, pack solidly
in' jars, and cover with. lard an inch
in depth. When any ie taken from
the jar, immediately warm the lard,
strain and returnto the jar. Always
keep lard an inch deep over the top
of the meat, and never leave the meat
exposed to the air longer than is nec-
essary,
THE, VALUE OF EARLY CUT HAY.
Save the best early cut hay and oth-
er roughage until the latter part of
winter and early spring. All practi-
cal feeders have observed that farm
animals are less likely to make satis-
factory gains in the spring months
than at any other time of the year.
Often they lose flesh unless the very
best of care is given. They refute to
eat the usual amount of forage unless
it' is early cut and of the very hest
quality. However, 1 have found that
by saving the earliest cut hay until
the last, the stook will continue to
consume the usual amount of food with
a relish andalso continue to make sat-
isfactory gains. With mach cows the
flow will not decrease, as so often hap-
pens in spring before tlie cows can be
turned out on good pasture.
Then, too, by feeding the earliest
cut hay lamt, the system of the anima1
will be ia a better condition for mak-
hag satisfactory gains immediately af-
ter being turned out on fresh pastures
10 epring. Very early out fociders
have a tendency to relax the bowels;
consequently the *change front, dry
fodder to fresh pastures will not be a
radical change in feed. In the early
part of the winter they are 10 abet-
ter condition for coasuraing the late
cut by and fodder, after being taken
off the pasture, where their rations
have often been made up of over -ripe
and partly dried off grasses. • Every
practical feeder has 'long ago learned
the advantage of securing all fodder as
early as nossible after it has gained the
requited seage of growth, but where is
large amount is to bes put up, eonte
of it will of necessity beeome riper
than is desirable.

titis amount arid method of apniteetion

the growth and prevent the (Alberti

tienal, as I have raised fine crops
without fertilizer. Now plant your
potatoes and give good and el ean

For grain or grass 1 prefer to plow

very heavy, cut it well into the ground
with the whee1 harrow until your
groand is very inellow, sow .your grain

meadows I usually top -dress, genera -
ally in the winter en tbe snow, or when
the ground is frozen, or in spring just
as soon as a team or wagon' will not

The manure may he coarse or weil rot-
ted, aecording to cireurnstances, both
giving good results. I have a great
d,eal of manure, but never too much.
HAVE A PINCH.
Are we to thank la grippe Lor the
latest fad which swell women have tak-
en up? 'Whether that prevalent dis-
ease is responsible or not, the fact re-
mains, that the fashionable woroan of
to -day has taken to "snuff."
Snuff boxes are a dainty and as yet
novel adjunct for one's dressing table
and chatelaine, and it is not to be won-
dered at thatthis has proved an in-
ducement to the habit. The very
finest snuff is used, and it is said that
the manner in which some of our smart
women
have learned to use it is very
taking indeed, though to many even
this is hardly a compensation for the
habit as a habit.
Only the ultra smart women have
taken to th.e snuff habit, as they did to
that of cigarette smoking. It does not
necessarily follow that those of more
conservative taste will adopt the habit.
Leisure, lucre and laxity of stand-
ard to an unlimited degree are needed
before one can become converte,3. eith-

BRITONS WHO CAN'T SPEAK ENG-
LISH.
,It is not generally realized what a
large number of Britons, born and
bred at home, have never succeeded in
mastering the national language, in
Wales, according to the last census
Laken, there are no fewer than 508,-
030 persons who cannot speak Eng-
lish, Welsh being their only language,
In Scotland there are 43,738 nersons
who can sneak nothing but Gaelic, and
in. Ireland there are 32,121 who can
express themselves only in the Irish
tongue. Of course, these are mostly
old people, and English is gradually
dislodging the native languages of
Ireland and Wales. It is a curious
circumstance that while in Wales few-
er persons speak' both Bnglish and.
Welsh than Welsh only. In Scotland
nearly five times as many use both
languages as those speaking Gaelic
alone; while in ireland twenty tiniee
as many speak English and Irish as
those who speak Irish only.,

It transpired at an inquest in Lon-
don the other day that a man who
had shot himself died from natural
causes and this remarkable circurct-
stance recalls some almost incredible
incidents of the kind which have hap-
pened of late, says the London Daily
Mail. Only a few weeks ago a man
jumped from London Bridge into the
river, and though he was picked out
of the water quite dead the doctor de-
clared that ha was not drowned, but
died froni heart disease, and the jury'
returned, a verdict to that effect.
Though the fact went alinost unno-
ticed at the time, Baron Rothschild ex-
pired on his birthday, hardly an hour
after reading a batch of congratula-
tory epistles wishing him " many hap-
py returns," and the late Mr. T. B.
Potter, founder of the Cobden Club,
died on the very same day of the year
and in the same hour as his wife, whom
he survived. twelve years. When the
Fashoda crists WES at its height, IWO
Congregational ministers, bearing the
unusual names France and French, died
in the same week.
A. curious fact leaked out at a recent
inquest in Bermondsey. 'rhe victims
were two babies, who heel been acei-
dently suffocated, and the evidence
showed that all the parents retired to
reel: in the same hour, on the same
morning, and that both mothers found
their children deed at the same time.
The superstitious will find food for
reflection in the fate of a passenger
by the unfortunate ship Mohegan,
which was recently wrecked on the.
Cornish coast. The passenger wrote
just /?efore the departure of the ves-
sel: there is any ill -luck.

There are in Paris at present 140

many the week after is practically
impossible to state. If public oceasion
