A Goop Cewest.—The Journal de Pharmacie fays that a muctlage composed as follows will unite wood, porcelaigifer glass: eight anda half ‘ounces of gum arabic In strong solution, twenty Ins of solution of alumina dissolved’ in two- rds of an ounce of water. Sricep B which is delicious cold and tliced thin, is easily prepared. Choose a plece ‘with less fat than you would wish to have in a roast; boil this until tender In water In which you have put salt, pepper, celery seed, and clo- Yer, the amount to depend on your taste. OatMrAL Paxcakes are good tor breakfast, and may occasionally take the place of the meal and milk so unlversally served at that Make them with sour milk, with soda to sweeten it. The batter shoald be stiff. The oatmeal, unless It is ground very fine, should be soaked in water all night. Tue paper bazs which are sometimes sent out from the tea store with a pound of tea in fur- nish good designs tor the ornamenter of a crazy iit. The pictures are exactly adapted for this work, and are so varied in size and subject asto give a zood opportunity for chvice. The outlines alone may be worked or the whole figure applied. Mvrrixe made principally ot boiled hominy are excellent for breakfast. To two cups of cold boiled hominy allow one cup of flour, a heaping teaspoonful of salt, two eggs. a third of acup of butter, a heaping teaspoonful of sugar, and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder: | malx this with the flour, beat ail together, and bake in a quick oven in muffin tins. These are very nice with coffve.

Driep Cony.—Dried corn onght to be made } palatable, and be frequeftly seen on the dinner | table, but many people who like corn dislike this stuff because it is not cooked properly; it should always be put to soak in luke warm water the afternoon ot the day before it is to be eaten. De not throw away the water In which it is soaked, or then you lose much of the best there is in the corn. Then early, at least two hours before dinner, put it ina saucepan over the fire. and let it cook slowly but steadily until itis tender. A little cream added to the milk, butter, pepper and salt are desirable, and @ teaspoonful of sugar will sometimes do won- éers in giving flavor to the dish. Fucustas.—Fuehsias like a rich soll, freely drained, consisting of turfy loam, old, thoroughly decayed manure, or leaf-mould in about equal portions, with a good sprinkling of charcoal dust and sand, and If at hand, ahandful of bone- meal may be added at the last shift. Should they be required to bloom for along time and continuously, they must be well fed. They are often well grown under vines, the molst atinos- Phere necessary for their proper development and the partial shade of the vine foliage seem- ing to benefit them materially; bear in mind, however, that where the vines are closely trained and the foliage becomes dense, the shade will be too much for the fuchsias. A CorRESPONDENT asks what will remove the “shine” from black silk. This cannot always be @one: it depends on how much it is worn; but sometimes it can be freshened surprisingly by Sponging with cold coffee and ammonia—a tea- spoonful of ammonia to nearly a eupful of coffee. Use a very soft sponge or a flannel cloth; rb very gently; and. if possible to get along with- out so doing, don iron the silk at all. Spread it out smootily while damp, and pin the edges to an irouinz-table or board, and let it dry nm if it is too much wrinkled or folded lay a cloth over the wrong side of the silk after @ponging, and iron it.—N. ¥. Post. Crsrarp Pirs.—To insure success in making eustard pies put the crust on the plates and set the plates in the oven before putting the custard i found the place where you remain while baking, pleree the © fork in two orthree spots,but do not put the fork throuzh the dough to the Plate. as the cusiard will then run under the €rust and spoil it. After this is done pour the custard In; pour it from a pitcher, so that not a drop will be spilled on the ring of crust around the edge of the plate. Now, if you wish this Fing to brown nicely, rub it over with a little milk in which you have dissolved alittle sugar; & dessertspoonful of milk will be plenty. and haifa teaspoonful of sugar. If your oven is a good one, the ple will not need to be turned, and this is a great advantage, as the custard Will not be disturbed when forming. STRAWBERRY SHORT CakE.—If one partakes of strawberry short cake in half a dozen dffferent tafes, it is likely that a different preparation will be served at each. The old-fashioned short take fs in many cases replaced by a kind of con- fectionery. made with slices of cake (somewhat ike pound cake) covered with whipped cream, in which a few strawberries are Inbedded. This Is quite unlike the real thing. Amongthe rectpes for short cake that have been tried, the follow- Ing was preferred: Flour, one quart: butter, three tablespoontuis; buttermilk, (or rich sour milk) one large cupful; one egg; white sugar, lpowdered) one tablespoonfal; soda, (dissolved in warm water) one teaspoonful; salt, one salt- Ypoenful. Mix the salt anc sugar with the flour; chop up the butter in the flour; add the egg and | toda tothe mitk and mix, handling as little as | possible. Roll out lightly. lay one sheet of paste Upon the other in a round tin bake. While still Warm, separate t akes, and place between them a thick layer of strawberries, which should teabundantly sugared. Some place adayer of the fruit on the upper cake. It is eaten with fugarend cream.— American Agricultu: ist. Canrets ox No Canrets?—This Is not a very fasy question to answer. as the circumstances @iffer greatly, I can make a few suggestions it may be of use. There is a paper made ex- y for putting on the floor betore the carpet It is not expensive, and will last a lite- It takes all the dust, and makes house ¢leaning much easier. A carpet sweeper {s of great comfort. The ordinary broom sweeps the just up into the robm and covers the sweeper as well as the furniture and curtains with dust, which never gets quite out of the room. An- other plan for keeping clean is to have a carpet that does not cover the entire floor; a space of two feet ts left, and the heavy furniture does not need to bemoved. The carpet can be taken up and beaten as often as convenient, and the floor mopped up. If the floor is good, and can be painted, this is a good plan. Such'a carpet Noust be heavy, and can be lined with bagging ‘orcoarse brown straw-bed covering to give it Weight. In Germany the painted floor is wiped up every morning, and the smaller mats are beaten. ‘In France the beautiful hard-wood floors are waxed and polished; after all is fln- Yahed and the room dusted, there is a sweet, ¢lean odor and a shining polish to everything, that Is the very perfection of comfort.—Country Gentleman.

The Century for June. ——_—__+e-____— A Big Business in Watermelons, From the Atlanta Constitution. Truck farming has become during the past five years one of the most important and re- munerative industries in Georgia, Mr. Joseph Taylor, general freight agent of the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad, says: “From re- liable data farnighed, it 1s estimuted that the crop of melons along the line of the road will reach for this season 8,000 to 3,500 car-loade.” Without counting other points of culture it is safe to say that Georgia will produce this year 6,000 car loads of melons or more than 7,500,000 separate melons. The price of melons ranged in Chicago last year from 28 to 20 cents. Ave- raging the crop this year at 20 cents, and put- ting 1,250 melons to the car, each car will be worth $250. This will make the crop worth 1,500,000. Thi jount of cash poured into the state in the middle of the dull summer will be of incalculable benefit. How to get the crop to market is a serious problem. The ship- ments wil gin about the middle of June and end about the middle of August. The bulk of it must be moved in forty days. This will give an average of 150 cars, or ten solid trains of fifteen cars each aday. The roads will be fre- quent called to‘move twenty full melon trainsa lay. It will take at least seven days for a train to reach the markets and return. We may ex- pect, therefore, to see during the month of Jul: 100 trains of fifteen cara each loaded wit! Georgia melons, and onthe road to and from market. At the same time, cars will be needed atthe melon stations to load for new tri The facilities of the roads are thought to jual to the emergency.

How a Loving Daughter Secured the Object of Her Affection. ‘From the Chicago “Where is Mulcahey!” As Lord Wyvern spoke these words he stepped lightly from the broad veranda that encircled Brierton Villa, and stood beside his daughter, Beryl McCloskey, whose little, graceful torm, sharply outlined against the rustic woodsned that dotted the landscape to the westward, was shown to advantage by the dress she wore—a simple garment of soft white plegnoir, caught up at the shoulders with tittle knots of blue ribbon. and through which the warm flesh tints and beau- tifal curves of a snowy arm were to be seen. The kissing winds of a perfect June evening-—bright, Joyous June, that wields so gracefully her scep- fer as rose-crowned Queén of months—were Senlng through the larches, and stood like senti- nels around the close-trimmed lawn, and seemed to keep over the bright patches of flowers whose vivid colors were in pretty contrast to the vel- vety green of the grass around them a kindly but ceaseless vigil. “I am not happy, papa,” sald the girl, turning asthe words which this chapter opens were spoken, and laying a shapely, dimpled hand in the broad, ple-plate palin of her father. “I know full well that it ia not right for me to feel thus, because I have everything that should make my life a bright and joyous one. With kind, loving parents, a beautiful home, health, douzhnuts and every iuxury thet taste can sug- gest or money purchase, I should indeed be un- grateful—nay, even wicked—were I to com- plain; but in spite of all this, in spite of the fact that I try, O so hard, to be bright and gay, there seems to be always before me some great sor- row”—and bursting into a storm of sobs Beryl lald her hand on her father’s shoulder and wept 8o long and so bitterly that Lord Wyvern began to wish that he was a sponge. 5h “It is your liver, ry darling,” hesald tenderly when the violence of the girl's grief had in some measure abated, and only the convulsive shud- der that passed like the dying throb of a broken pump through the lissome form that he held in his arms told of the mighty sorrow that was racking Beryl’s heart. ‘You are off your feed.” “No, papa,” replied the girl, looking up to him with her beautiful brown eyes, from which gleamed the sort light of a holy, tender affection, “I have thought of that, but it cannot be. Surely, you must have noticed the cake jar?” Lord Wyvern turned away his head to conceal from his daughter the tears that suffused his eyes, as she spoke. “God help me,” he mur- mured, “I should gay that I had!” and then turning to Beryl and kissing the drooping lips that were quivering with grief, he spoke to her inflow, kindly, I-have-three-aces tones that went to her very heart: “You must not try todeceive me, my darling,” hesaid. ‘Tell me truly, do you not love Regi- nald Mulcahey ?” The girl gave a quick, convulsive movement, like the fawn of the forest when the crack of the hunter's rifle breaks upon the mid-day allence, or 8 man who sinks languidly to rest on a tack, and then, realizing that her secret was known, she looked at her father in a shy, hesitating, boy -tound - by -the -old- man-playing-billlarde- when-he-ought-to-have-been-sawing-wood fash- jon, and let the rosy blushes of malden modesty which chased each other across her cheeks make answer. “ But I was so afraid, papa,” she sald, seeing the kindly smile that filtted across Lord Wy- vern's face, ‘that you would oppose our love because Regy is not rich, and it would break my heart to lose him now.” “Wealth is not everything, my child,” he sald, ‘and I will help Reginald to acquire it, so that by this time next week he may be ina position to place you forever beyond the reach of want.” “Will you?” exclaimed Beryl. her face light- ing up with a glad, joyous, I-have-found-the- hairbrush smile. “Yes, my darling,” answers the father. “But how?” “T will,” replies Lord Wyvern, “buy him a ol ticket on the first club that plays against he White Stockings, of Chicago, or the Orioles, of Baltimore.” Groves, .
