Stale buns may be made to taste as nicely as when fresh if they are dipped for a mo- ment or so in cold water, and then put in a hot oven for five or ten minutes they will turn out as light and crisp as when first baked. Pour boiling water over the raisins, let them stand a few minutes to soften, then drain the water off and you are ready to proceed. No more trouble with sticky fingers.

Then stretch the lace out well and either iron it on the wrong side or press till di-y with a hea^'y weight. If you have any old cane-bottomed chairs which want recaning, you may wake the seats useful with thick colored wool twine. Cut away the old cane first, and thread a jis'iig, stout darning-needle with the twine. Ktivt the ends, loop it through the holes backward and forward, crosswise froA side to side, right and left, and, every hole oeing iilleil, work them back again, weaving as you would for cloth, so you must be careful .not to draw the threads very tight the first time over, or it is more difficult to weave. Fuially, press the pair of threads .together. In buying table linen, the finer, smaller the patteni the longer it will last. When table-cloths are half-worn, or paat use as such, the best parts may be cut inio table naijkiiis, and if neatly hemmed few will notice that they are not of a regular pat- tern or these jiieces may be used to lay under boiled fish for serving, or they will be found very convenient for wrapping cake before putting it aw ay in a tin box, for cover- ing bread, and a score of other uses in the kitchen for it is never well to leave food, after it is cold, uncovered and exposed to air. dust, and flies. Fruits, which are so healthful and cool ing, make dire stains on table linen and clothing. Such stains can be removed from white goods by pouring boiling water through them, provided that the spots have not been first wet in cold water. If they have, or are of long standing and refuse to disappear before this simple treatment, dip them in water to which has been added chloride of lime in the proportion of one tablespoonful of the chloride to each quart of water. If the stains are very deep let the article remain in the water fifteen or twenty minutes, then hang in the sun with- out wringing. Fruit stains on colored goods are more serious matter. Boiling water is the best thing to use, for it will not injure the most delicate color or fabric. Other remedies take out the color, so it is well to attend to all such stains while they are fresh. There is generally too much time spent in he daily dusting of the house. Many ad- • .-ise that all things be carefidly gone over with a duster or dampened cloth, to take up every particle of dust. Now. a damp cloth cannot be used either on varnished or oiled furniture without taking oft' the gloss. A chamois skin, dampened, is sometimes used with excelleut effect 'on varnished furniture, and that only should be used at regular in- tervals. The best plan is to open the win- dows, and, if necessaiy, the doors, so as to make ds much draft a? possible. Have a stiff brush (they are shaped like a paint brush, and are intended for stuffed furni- tiire) and brush and clean well about the cracks and folds, if there is stuffed furniture for a floating fluffs that seems to come from nij-sterious distances is found about most houses, especially those in towiis and cities. Tiien for fine furniture use the finest and softest feather brush you can get, flipping up the dust, so as to force it in the direction of the wuidows. Have coarser feather dus- ters for coarser furniture, and try to force the- dust up into the centre of the room, so as to reach the draught and float out. In this way a room may be dusted in ten min- utes that would otherwise take froni three- quarters of an hour to one hour to dust with cloths. If there is any doubt about dust be- ing left, pin a large damp cloth about a broom and go over the carpet with it. This will take up all the dust that falls, and prevent more from rising. It takes but a few min- utes for this process, if once practiced in it. All modes that shorten the dusting of a la,rge house are a positive gain of time. Where there is much bric-a-brac the process is interminable unless the delicate portion is under glass, where it ought to be to save breakage, Gookmg Becipes.

FEMININE WIT. In a recent burst of confic'ence young Benedict said that there was one thing about his wife that he didn't like. When pressed for an explanation he replied that it was her mother.

" You didn't used to be when your fall suit was in style, you know." And there followed a chill that nothing short of a new suit will remove. " A young widow relates the sad accident which bereaved her of ner dear partner in life " We were on our way to Bagtinolles. A tram-car collided with our 'bus on the Boulevard de Clichy. A wheel came oS. We were sitting outside. When they came to pick us up they found my husband crush- ed to death and my watch broken all to pieces." The lady then adds, pathetically " And it was quite a new one " A woman was struck on the head by a large dishpan, which had been hung in such a jnace over the closet door that it could not be opened without dislodging the pan. Fortunately the injury was not serious, but with righteous indignation at the stupidity of her new Irish "help" she said: " Didn't you know the pan was sure to fall and likely to hurt someone badly if you hung it up there " " Indade I did" maam. It fell on meself twicet to-day." " Ah, those autumn leaves. Farmer Robin- son, " sighed his city guest. ' ' What lovely tints of color, and what an addition they are -to the charming scenery you must so enjoy." " Yes, miss. The leaves are get- tin' a good deal 6f yaller and red onto 'em, that's a fact. It's about time to gather " " Then you really find time to gather au- tumn leaves " " Oh, yes, indeed. We rake up a few cart-loads every year for beddih' for the bosses." Another aesthetic .dream smashed. " That Parisian trick â€" the Vanishing Lady â€" that Hermann does is a great one," said Jones. " He covers a lady with a veil, and after a little manceuvering removes the veil, and the lady has disappeared. " "That's nothing to a yoiyig lady in our boarding-house," answered Brown. "I have seen ten or twelve persons in the parlor, and this young lady come in, sit down to the piano, and begin to play and sing. In two minutes all the rest had disappeared. Talk about Hermann He ain't a patoh to her." A bargain sign stopped a procession of ve- hicles in Tremont street, Boston, the other day, in an amusing way, opposite a noted dry -goods establishment. A woman whose weight could not have been less than three hundred, generous measure, rose slowly and majestically in her place in the street-car, and looked eagerly out of the window. The conductor marked the attitude and pulled the strap. The car came to a standstill, and the stout woman descended with much force on a feeble-looking passenger next hei-. " Don't you wish to get out?" cried the con- ductor in an irritated way. " Of course not. only wanted to see what that bargain in socks was." Mitigating.

Such chUd- ren suffer from cold when winter sets in and to a degree they are dwarfed by thu f eedmg upon bulky, innutritions food. The stomach I of the calf, the pig, and the colt are »1bo small, and when the8"b are distended by coarse food, they having to depend upon i this after weaning, the belly gets big and growth of the body in a measure stops. i After frost has nipped the grass it will I prove fatal to the health of the young things if they be noade to depend upon tms kind of food. Frosted grass has lost its nutri- tiousness, and that part which can be digest edatall will be acted upon but slowly, fei mentation will set in, the bulky stuff will pass through the intestinal canal tard- ily, and in this way we get the big abdomen. Upon this half-deadened fall feed the young thmgs, both calves and colts, in connection with the big abdomen, are liable to become constipated, the bowels moving tardily and the fjEces being impacted and dry; From the moment this condition sets in the flesh begins to shrink, and in place of the young animal being on the road to successful fit- ting for winter, it is traveling away from it. When calves are found tone bloating up in the fall, having been changed from milk, and perhaps a ration of gruel twice daily, the bowels being costive as stated, the coarse dry food will become impacted in the third stomai!h, and in many cases no prompt and sufficient relief can be had imtil the harden- ed mass is diluted, which can only be donp by using the pump provided for such cases. By pumping in an abundance of water the hardened mass becomes softened and will be encouraged to pass out, little by little, as it is softened and mixed with the water, which had better be used warm." By dissolv-. ing a quarter of a pound of epsom salts in the water a laxative effect may follow when the mass reaches the bowels. Now, to escape all this is easy. How to do this Simply by feeding concentrated nutritious food, seeing to it that the bulk is in keeping with the cavity into which it goes, leaving space therein for the stomach to act upon the contained mass, as in this way the damming up of the passage is pre- vented. A large proportion of nutriment must be contained in the given bulk of the food given to young animals of any species, as the natural tendency is to grow fast â€" this only lieing possible upon the use of food in every way calculated to meet the' wants of the developing body. This must be easy of digestion and easy to be assimilat- ed, else we get upon our hands that worst of all entailments in stock-growing â€" stunted growth. Timely Suggestions. An excellent feed for swine to begin the fattening process is cooked .potatoes with buckwheat, whole or ground, thrown in while the potatoes are hot. After standing long enough to cool the mixture may be fed freely with no risk of cloying, provided a little care be exercised in the first few days to see that only as much is given as may be eaten clean. A writer in the Dakota Farmer says that a few months since he visited a dairyman in New York, who had for years kept good common cows. Four years ago he bought a fine pure-bred Holstein bull and crossed ui)on his cows. Last year his two-year-old heifers gave double the quantity of milk his common cows did. Knowing the benefit from harrowing spx-ing grain after.it came up we once tried the same plan on winter wheat in the fall. The result was not satisfactory. Unrloubtedly the harrowing caused increased growth at the time, but it also made tl^e soil more porous, and leveled the surface by breaking down the ridges made by the drill and which helped protect the grain. The wheat evidently winter-killed worse for the har- I'owing. A large crop of potatoes takes froin the soil nearly one hundred pounds of potash per acre. Few soils will stand this drain and therefore the yield declines. The pota- to crop is universally sold from the farm, and it leaves less refuse as manure than any other. Potato tops should be brought to the barnyard to be worked into the manure heap. Though not balky they contam con- siderable fertilizing material. Left in the field they will be blown into fence corners in winter, and thus be lost. ^Next spring many farmers will complain about their seed corn, because they will not select it at time of husking, or before. There is plenty now if it be saved properly. Pick up the best ears, strip the husks, except a few inquired for braiding then braid in strings and in a dry place where thereis free cu'culation of air.
