A POEM OF SPLENDID MORAL.
BUT RATHER INDIFFERENT METRE.
Young Ronald was a lover bold
Who loved a maiden fair ;
But she was devoted to, painting azal-
eas, witoh•hazele, and camellia bloeeome
on medimvsl bric.a.brao and oroekery
ware.
To her he wrote his soulful odes,
And sweet seraphic sonnets ;
But she spent her time in working oar.
dioal cats on magenta•oolored hearth.
rugs.
And in arranging ostrich plumes and
birds of paradise feathers and whole
horticultural fairs on Autumn and Raster
bonnets.
He told her of his deathless love,
And wooed her winsome smile ;
And she asked him if, after mature de-
liberation, it was his candid opinion
That erooheted chair tidies with flamin-
goes, eab.o-nine-toile and sunflower blos-
soms, woven into the middle of 'em,
would ever go out of style.
He told her ehe was fairer'than
The violets of the Spring,
And she demurely turned the tide of his
conversation unto the beet designs for
lace onrtaine, embroidered napkins, and
various other things he had never
heard of :
And asked him if he didn't think her
purple -colored snipe, with old gold legs
and ohrome•oolored bill, which she had
painted on a enffron-colored baokgrouud
on her father's old water pail, wasn't just
too lovely for anything.
With one wild look
He rose to go ;
IIie hat he look,
And exit beau.

Hints to Housekeepers.
Meats never allowed to boil will be
more tender than those that cook hard.
Tough meats become tender by proper
cooking, while the reverse of this is
equally true. Hard boiling in salted
water will toughen the beet place of meat
ever sold.
Bits of fish may be used for salad, and
it is very good. Any maypnnaise may
be used, but fish salad palls for more
mustard and vinegar. A chopped pickle
added to the fish makes it piquant.
Bite of fish may also appear in the
form of soup. They are boiled in milk,
strained through a coarse sieve, seasoned
to taste, and served with croutons.
Use bits of stale bread for croutons.
Cut them in email dioe, brows in the
oven. Serve hot with soup.
All bread crumbs wbioh may be in the
bread jar, should be dried, rolled fine
and placed in a jar and can be ready to
use in scalloping meat, fish, oysters,
vegetables, or as thiokening,
Never finish a meringue by plaoing
it in a hot oven. It should brown slowly
in a cool oven, when it will rise high
and be light and spongy.
01d pototoes are made mealy by being
soaked for an hour in cold water after
being peeled. When boiling they should
be cooked in salted water ; when the
potatoes are soft, tura off •
the water,
leave the potatoee in covered kettle to
dry off all steam, They will be nearly
as nice as new ones.
If a clean cloth wrung out of water to
which half a teaspoonful of ammonia has
been added is used to wipe off n carpet
which bas been recently swept, it will
remove the dusty look and brighten the
colors.
Do not throw away old preserve jars
which have lost their Covers or whose
edges have been broken so that the oovers
will not fit tightly. They are excellent
for holding piokles. When filled tie a
piece of cotton cloth over the top to keep
out insects, and put the jars away in the
storeroom closet.
Draining Roads.
80 A. w. COMM/IL, PROVINCIAL INSTSIIOTOB
IN EOADOWUNO.
Two of the fundamental objects to be
reached in making roads are (1) take the
water out, and (2) keep the water out.
Subject, as we are, to oontinned autumn
rains, followed by a period of severe front
and snow, with the attendant thawing
and flooding of spring, it becomes of
prime neoessity that these should be ob.
served in Ontario. So little is the troth
of this reoognized that a drive along not
only our country, but many of our city
and town roads, would lead one to think
that to get the water in and to • keep the
water in is the idea of our roadmakers.
Underdrainage, except in very rare
oases, is entirely ignored. Surface drain-
age generally consists in heaping up a
driveway in the centre of the road allow-
ance, covering this with a loose coating of
gravel, and leaving the excavations at the
side of the driveway thus formed to hold
water, since, although called "drains,"
they seldom have outlets. The water
held in these "drains" soaks into and
eofbens the foundation of the roadbed
until there is a sort of floating island.
To remedy this state of affairs, gravel
is continually heaped on in the hope of in
some way covering the water. This is a
very expensive and unsatisfactory meth-
od of roadmaking. Underdraies of 00M -
mon field file (provided with outlets) to
"lower the water -line" ; and open drains
or gutters (also provided with outlete), to
carry away surface water, aro the only
practical means of oreating a foundation
for a road. With a soft, wet, yielding
foundation, a road is no more durable
than any other structure under similar
conditions.
Any thoughtful farmer who knows the
effeot of underdraiuing in hie fields will
at once recognize its usefulness in road.
making. In the fall, water will be rapid.
ly removed from the bed of the road and
the destructive motion of frost lessened.
In the spring, the frost will come out of
the ground more gniakly, and `eaoh of
those periods in fall and spring are short.
ened when, with the foundation and sur-
face thoroughly saturated, the roads are
not only impassable on amount of the
mud, but are more injured by the traffic
than in all the remaining nine or ten
months of the year. One year's statute
labor, with the annual appropriation,
spenbin providing proper draine for the
roads of the Province would do more than
oar be done bn five years with the prse-
ent method of merely filling holes in a
road with gravel or crushed stone..
Underdraining and grading should be
(ferried on simultaneously. Unless drain -
pd, the traffic during the .ensuing aotumn
and spring -will usually leave the gradtd
road as sbapelese and .rough as ,a pion( et'
wagon track eau he, If drainer], there

makers as to where underdruins should
be planed. Some prefer Qtle tile drill(]
along the °entre of the roadway ; this
with the mistaken idea that the water
will be caught as ib peroolabee through
the road bed. A road bed, however,
nicely crowned and well eompaeted nuder
the roller, will shed the surface water to
the aide gutter's without permitting it: to
pass into the roadbed to any extent. It
is better praobioe to place two bile drains,
one under each of the surface gutters,
Where they may serve as outlets, oatoh-
basins being provided when natural out-
lets cannot easily bo obtained. Under.
drains intercept the water rising upward
in the soil from the impervious strata
underneath, very little of the water pass.
ing downward being intercepted by thein.
The advantage of the two drains, one an
email side of the roadway, over the plan of
having one drain in the centre are Bever.
al. The two drains are more effective in
securing perfect drainage than one could
be ; the aftermath of settlements in the
oenbre'of the road us avoided ; the drains
on an old road can usually be planed at a
greater depth if at the side ; the expense
of plaoiog one) drain in the centre of an
old road is often greater that that, created
by planing two drains at the sides ; when
at the sides they may be more easily used
when needed as outlets for surface drains.
There may be instances on very light
land where underdrainage is so perfectly
provided by nature that artificial drains
are not needed. But as a usual thing, in
this climate (Ontario), tile drainage is
very much needed on our roads. It may
be stated, as a rule, that, although under.
drainage will not do everything for all
roads, it will do something for every road,.
and everything for some roads.
Canadian ri(ewas.
An eight -legged nig was on view at the
Commercial Hotel, Woodstock, on Satur-
day.
A. H. Teeple, East Oxford, has ship•
ped the product of 5,000 tomato plants
to Winnipeg.
A. Siple, gardinsr, reports that he has
met with some 6uoc0es in growing pea.
nuts in his garden this year.
More than 1,000 quarts of gooseberries
were gathered from the farm of Alex-
ander Sloy, of Lakeside, Nova Soobia
this season.
A Goon Joxo.—W. C. Bingham, of
Aylmer, had his beard shaved off the
other day for the first tine in 27 years.
After being barbered he went home and
rang the bell ; Mrs. Bingham answered
the door, be went in and she did not
know him till someone came in after he
had left. Next day he fooled the citizens
all over town but the climax was reached
on Thursday evening when a large orowd
was gathered in a boot and shoe store,
among them being Rev. Mr. Kimball.
W. S. Caron walked up with Mr. Bing.
ham and introduced him to the rev.
gentleman as Mr. Johnston, of Detroit.
He was greeted in the wholehearted
style of our American friend, and for
five or six minutes a lively conversation
was'"oarried on between them, it being
evident to all that recognition had not
taken place. At length Mr. Harris oame
in and called Mr. Bingham by name.
The look that came over Mr. Kimball's
fade was never seen there before, and a
perfeot yell went up from the expectant
crowd. The faot that be had been done
up finally dawned on his mind, and be
enjoyed the joke heartily, and got out of
it in a way that was satisfactory to the
crowd.
Fourteen months ago a little son was
born to Mr. and Mrs. John N. Ball,
residents of the vicinity of Kinglaks,
Houghton township. This svgs not the
first child, but it is safe to say even more
interest surrounded the arrival of this
little stranger than was manifested at the
coming of the first born, for the child
was equipped with more than the usual
facilities for seeing the new world into'
whirh he had some. Besides a pair of
everyday ordinary eyes, such as are cora.
mon to all of us, a third eye was
vouchsafed the little fellow, situated in
the spine at the waist line, and provided
with eyelid and eyebrow, exactly like the
two in his head. Whetber the child
could see anything with file organ is not
decidedly known, he being too young to
give any reliable signs of such an ability.
When the little fellow was just old
enough to pull himself upon bis feet
he fell on the rocker of his cradle, striking
his baok in enob a manner that the ball
of the eye burst. Poulbioing was resort-
ed to and the opbio was entirely drawn
out thereby. The eyebrow remains, and
the fact that many people saw the aye
before it was injured leaves no room for
any incredulous perAen to longer doubt.
