 !J(P.-.U LI,. HOUSEHOLD. Fnmishing a StyUsli Diniog-Edom. We protest on many grounds against cov- ering a room all over with carpet and nail- ing it close into the corners and recesses. It harboi-8 dirt which can never be thoroughly, swept ou^and it rentiers the process of tak- ing up the carpets unnecessarily tronble- some and expensive, so that they are left down for, perhaps, n year or two, whereas it would be conducive to health if they were shaken more frequently. A margin of not less than fifteen inches (eighteen inches or two feet is better) will ' not contract the apparent size of yonr room very materially, and yon can then have a square or oblong cai-pet, with a border, either made in one, as a Turkey or Axmin- ster carpet, or seamed up as in a Brussels. A Turkey carpet should not be so large as to go under the furniture, but should clear of it. With Brussels it does not great- ly signify, as the substance is much thinner. Brussels cai-pet is, without doubt, the cheapest and befct wearing for ordinary pur- poses, though for a dining-room a good Tur- key carpet will prove in the long run an economical investment and the difference to the tread is so great that if once we get accustomed to it a Brussels carpet hence- forth loses it charm. Nevertheless, very excellent patterns are now made in the English Brussels and pile cai-pets, with suitable borders, and these are not a bad substitute when cleverly put to- gether for a seamless carpet. From an art point of view a carpet can- not be treated otherwise than as a back- ground to the furniture, quite as much, if not more, than the walls, excepting in a room where no furniture is, wliere alone we could tolerate those gorgeous Ambusson car- pels (looking like a magnificent desert- plate), with a large expanse of white ground and bouquets, wreaths, baskets, and what not in the centre and borders. Indian and Persian carpet weavei-s are still our masters and teachers in the art of combining colors, so as to form one harmon- ious plateau of bloom. We do not, how- ever, object to a pattern being in some de- gree marked and obvious or to a geometric design, if not too hard, but avoid a_ carpet where the lines or patterns cut it up into de- tached fragments and spaces, destroying all sense of unity and breadth, which in a din- ing-room are specially desirable qualities. The border is sometimes better for being clearly marked off from the centre carpet instead of flowing into it. The window or windows, as the case may be next claim attention. Ordinarily a small, neat brass rod or pole, with simple spheiical ends, is a rational and efifective termination to the window-curtains, pro- claiming its use and giving a quiet brilliancy where the light often strikes least. Singular fancies have been perpetrated in the matter of cornice pole ends, but the strange hallucination that bunches of tin grapes are the natural product of a rigid brass pole has by this time, we hope, been exploded. The thin brass stamped cornice is also a flimsy and unworthy contrivance and produces unpleasant sensations' similar to those evoked bv the contemplation of • conspicuously false jewelry. Light' wooden poles, to match the furni- ture in color or black, with very little gold or color (say Indian red or vermilion) intro- duced, are suitable. A gilt cornice in a din- ing-room is equally out of place with the gilt chimney glass. A wood cornice pick- ed out with gilding is better. Tested Eeceipts. Se.\soxixg for Sausaoe MEAT.^One tea- spoon and a half of salt, one of pepper and three of sage, thoroughly mixed. This is sufficient for one pound of meat cut fine, and is alwaj-s just right. Potato Balls. â€" Mix five or six mashed potatoes -with the yolk of an egg, roll them into balls, roll in a beaten eg|, then in bread- Crumbs, and drop into boiling lard deep enough to float them. Chicken Pie. â€" Take one good fat chicken, cut up, season, boil till done, then take two- thirds of a quart of thick sour cream, a little salt, one tablespoonful of butter, make a thick batter, quite thick, take a tin milk pan, put in a layer of chicken and then a layer of batter, also a few slices of butter, till your pan is full, then pour the juice the chicken was cooked in over the pan. Put in oven and bake till done. Clear Game Sour. â€" Take the remnants of any kind of game not high put them into a saucepan with an onion, a carrot, two or three cloves, a small piece of mace, a bay- leaf, some parsley, M'hole pepper, and salt to taste. Cover the whole with veal or poultry stock, and set the saucepan to boil gently for a couple of hours. Strain off the soup and set it to bjil again, then throw in an ounce of raw b 3ef or liver coarsely chopped let it give one boil, then strain the soup through a napkin. If not quite clear, the clarifying process must be repeated. A very small quantity of sherry may be put in be- fore clarifying. • Stuffed Grken Peppers. â€" Take large green peppers, wash them aud cut two- thirds around the stem and remove all «eeds. Making a stuffing of two quarts of chopped cabbage, half a cupful of grated horseradish, three tablespoonfuls of celery eeed, one capful of mustard seed, and two tablespoonfuls of salt. Fill the peppers with the mixture, putting into each pepper one cucumber and one small onion replace the stem and fasten it with a string. Put the peppers in a large unglazed jar, cover them with cold A-inegar, and place a muslin bag with a thin layer of mustard seed over the top before adjusting the cover and keep in a cool place,* Biscorr Poddiko. â€" Crumb in a pan three or four nice biscuits pour over them a tea- cnp of hot water and leave to steam until you are ready for them. Then mash very line beat the whites of thred eggs, add a small lump- of butter, thrce heavy spoons of light sugar and a teacup or more of sweet milk heat well, add to the well-mashed biscuit, flavor with nutmeg, and bake. Beat the whites to a stiff froth â€" a pinch of salt added will insure a froth â€" and add a spoon- ful of light sugar. Spread over^e pudding, when done, a coating of jelly, Over this spread the whites and brown very slightly. If liked the butter and jelly can be omitted and the whites and yolks of eggs be beaten together. Bkef and Tomato Pib. â€" ^Take half a pound of beef-ateak, six ripe toma'.oeF, oa I large onion, some thin slices of bread, about .an ounce al^ butter .Of ^aefcr4ippMNii' 4^ 'pint of broth or stock, and seasonings to taste. Soak the bread in the stock, grease a pie-dish, and lay in half of the breadâ€" sufficient to cover the bottom and sides. Cut the beef in small pieces, skin the toma- toes, and chop the onion lay half of the â-  tomatoes on the bread, next the beef, sprinkle over the chopped onion, and season- ings to taste then the rest of the tomatoes, and a very little stock cover entirely with " soaked bread, break a few pieces of batter or dripping over the top, and bake in a moderately hot oven for about three-quarters â-  of an hour.

In the British town of Kimberley, in South Africa, the current used for electric li;hting also does duty as a ready means of killing stray dogs. How would it do to try the same experiment in Toronto. A vulcanizing process, by which rubber is said to be made as hard, smooth and white as celluloid without the use of camphor, has been patented by a Long Island City invent- or, who has leased buildings for' a factory. A Hanoveiian physician. Dr. Brandes, has found reason for believing that malaria is checkedhy growths of aiiarachisal inash-um, a somewhat troublesome water-plant from Canada, and he recommends the introduc- j tion of this plant into marshy districts. i A new and plausible explanation of the destructive fires occurring in pine forests is offered. The pine resm exuding from the trees is often of lens shape, and before it thoroughly hardens frequently of crystalline, clearness. It is surmised that while in tjhat condition a re«in lens may focus the sun't rays upon some light twig or resinous .poii^ and so start a blaze that quickly eats up a forest. In the Swiss village of Meyrin some dis- used wells have been hermetically sealed to serve as barometers. On a fall of atmos- Eheric pressure, air escapes through a small ole in the well-cover, blowing a whistle, and thus giving warning of a coming storm put when the outside pressure is increasing, the air being forced into the well causes a different sound, and annonnces.the probabil- ity of fine weather. Dr. W. J. Graham, who has been pursuing prolonged investigations of the alkali which is more or less abundant on our western prairies, states that the basis of the alkali is common salt, derived from a jock salt form- ation imderlying the region and by per- meation to the surface it there undergoes the chemical reactions which give it its ap- parent form and composition. He believes that the alkali will afford a valuable and really inexhaustible fertilizing materiaL The insulating substance coating the War- ing wires is the one subject about which the inventor maintains a mysteries silence. He claims that it is much superior to gutta percha, its insulation in short, being up- wards of 200 megohms per mile. What in the name of sense is a megohm the reader will ask. Well, the "ohm" without the "meg" is the standard unit which measures the force with which a substance resists the passage of electricity through it. The sin- gle ohm is about equal to the resistance of- fered by a piece of pizre copper wire 250 feet long and 1-20 of an inch thick. Meg- ohm is a great ohm or a million ohms. Now you know. In New York city there are so many wires over head that the resulting electric currents are said to interfere seri- ously with the correct running of watches. The air is full of electricity. One great trouble in putting telegraph and telephone wires under ground is the difficulty of insulating them. In spite of utmost precautions and coating with extra tubing, the electric current from one will skip through the interventing air to another and confuse messages. It is doubtfhl indeed if there is any substance altogether non-con- ductive. A Pittsbtirg inventor, however, believes he has a scheme for practically perfect in- sulation. His invention is given to the pub- lic through an electric manufacturing com- pany of that city. By his plan he claims that telephone, telegraph and electric light wires may be placed underground without detriment to the clearness of the messages. The method whereby electricity passes through the air from one wire to another is called induction. This induction is as act- ive above ground as under, with the differ- ence that in trenches dug beneath the earth's surface the bundles of wire are necessarily nearer together than in the air, and the force of induction is stronger. Millions In It. A despatch from Tahleguah, Indian Terri- tory, says that the greatest wild pigeon roost in the United States is just now locat ed about 20 miles north of there. The trees covering a mile square of timbered land are literally as full as the limbs will bear at night with these birds. Millions of pigeons are there, and when they come in to roost they make a noise like mighty thunder. Birdmen say there are only two flocks of wild pigeons now in North America. This is the larger one. A great many people are encamped around the roost engaged in trap-, ping, netting, and killing them for shipment, which they are doing by tiie thousands. New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis and other places in tiie States of less note, are rotresented at this roost. For dead ones the slayers get an average of fl2 per 100 for live ones the netters get $4 to f 6 a hundred, as a great many of these are used in the ilaat and ordered for shooting matches by sporting clubs. The nets are placed at some point where a bunch water, and sometimes as many as forty dozen are caught in one fly of the net. This makes several years in succession these birds have come to this place to roost, after nesting and summering away up among tiie lakes of Minnesota and adjoining country. A great many Indians are ma.lriiig from $2 to Is a day in the pigeon bnsiaeas, u 'vrfaile the speculators ana shippers from the cities are m^Hwg from $20 to $25 daily when tlMsy have anything like Inch. â-  " â-  â-  **i- A Uttie milk and meal will keep the calf grovdng.

It contains 84,000 trees and occu- pies 790 acres. In Europe farmers prefer to keep sheep for wool on soils containing lime, as they say on such soils the quality of wool is bet- ter. A ton of forest leaver on a garden in Au- tumn to remain through Winter is worth mach more than a ton of the best barnyard minure. The man who has not anything to boast of but his iUustrious ancestors is like a potato â€" the only good belonging to him is under- ground. The effect of stagnant water on cows is not- different from its effect on human beings â€" malarial, it makes them feverish and causes thetia to give unwholesome milK. There is a strong favor growing for the white breeds of poultry, as such fowls dress ' well for market, the pin feathers not show- ing as clearly as on black-plumaged birds. A century plant at Auburn, N. Y. is thirty feet high and the stem is six inches thick at the base. It has thirty -two flowering branch- es, with over five thousand buds and flowers. It is about sixty years old. The eleven greatest dairy states. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michi- gan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas, had, as shown by the last census, 7,524,643 cows used in dairying. Better dispose of honey as it comes in at a fair price, than wait for better market and run all sorts of risks of losing or injuring the honey. Keeping the market full of old stock does much to destroy the demand for any kind of honey. The number of fruit trees in California is given as follows Apple, 2,700,000 peach, 1,200.000 pear, 500,000 plum and prune, 600,000 cherry, 400,000 apricot, 400,000 orange, 1,000,000 lime and lemon, 500,000. It is estimated that there are 70,000 acres of grapevines. A gentleman writing from South Wales to Mr. Gilchrist, Fishery Inspector, Port Hope, says he has thoroughly acclimated so.7ie wild rice, sent by that gentleman from Canada and Mr. Gilchrist has a quan- tity of highest grade seed now on hand. His advertisement will be foimd on another page. W. P. Elliott, of Moberly, Mo., owns a Jersey cow not yet five years old, that yielded 3224 pounds of milk in ninety days. Sixty days of that time three pints of the whole milk was furnished a neighbor, Mr. Elliott's family using cream the whole time, the remainder was churned and produced 127 pounds of gilt-edged butter. No class of men are more in debt to their wives for the success that comes to them than are farmers. The wife and the mother who has the courage to go out with the husband of her choice and commence the struggle of life with him on the prairie, or on a new farm, with but little capital ex- cept of head and heart, is worthy to stand by the Spartan women on whom the poets have exhausted their words of praise. A farmer sent a dollar for a lightning po- tota-bug killer which he saw advertised in a Saper, and received by return mail two locks of wood, with directions printed on them as follows "Take this block, which is No. 1, in the right hand place the bug on No. 2, and press them together. Remove the bug and proceed as before." The United States signal office offers to send any farmer a hygrometer at cost ($7,) with a pamphlet containing directions for its use. Any one who studies it carefully and uses it intelligently- will be able to get early information as to frosts. The garden- er or vine dresser, warned in time, may save a valuable crop. Could not our own meteorological office in Toronto do some- thing of the same kind? Oregon Deer Butchers. According to the Portland O-regonian the business of killing deer for their skins is still carried on in that state as extensively as ever. In every direction in Coos, Curry and Jackson Counties the camps of these skin-hunters are found and around them are the carcasses of deer rotting on the ground. Two hunters will start out, each with a packhorse loaded with provisions for two weeks, and at the end of that time re- turn with their horses laden with a hundred to a hundred and fifty deer skins. For these they get about fifty cents each. One of the worst features of this business is that, as the skins are thinner and better adapted for fine buckskin in the summer time than after the winter coat of hair has come out and the hide thickened, hundreds of does are shot before their fawns are sufficiently grown to take care of themselves. Fortu- nately there is no such extensive slaughter of deer in our OMm northern woods during the close season, t a little more of e abominable practice of hounding will soon drive them eyond the reach of both the dogs and their masters. began Brother Gardner, "libs a man " Up my way, as the lamps were turned up, "Ubs a whom Ihev knowfd fur a dozen y ars as an honest, upright, hard-woAing citizen.

IT WILL HAVE TO GO. The committee of civil engineers appoint- ed to make a survey of the stove and report its exact condition, now reported through its Chairman that they had discovered the following injuries Loss of two legs and a compound fracture of a third. Two crevasses extending the entire length of the base, in an epratic manner. One door hinge carried away by a torna- do, the hearth broken in three places, and the door very much demoralizea by a colli- sion. The port aide cracked, in five places and starboard in six, while the stern had been badly wrenched by getting aground. In their opinion Paradise dall waa m danger of being destroyed every time a fire waa rtart- ed ui the stove. The committee waa dis- missed from further consideration on the â- abject, and Trustee Pallback and Whale- bone Howkor were appointed a new com- mittee to look aronnd and xaport priow m another atore. W?^' •♦•:.E«o^ I^TBDOMDIK t« i of large tracts by speculators who have to intention of engaging in agricultural pa- suit, but merely contemplate holding lanl with the hope of a rise in its value. To oii viate such speculation, the area purchai^iye by one person is now limited to lOi.W) stubo, or about eighty acres, and it is also provided that official inspections shall be made annually with the view of deter- mining whether the land is being applied to the purpose announced originally by its holder. All land not thus utilized will be resumed possession of by the Government. In addition the land will not become the actual property of its cultivator until after the expiration of ten years. During that time he will have the use of it rent free, ami should his decade of experience prove at- tractive, the option of purcliasing the fee simply for §1.20 per acre will then be given him. Thus the arrangement amount- to this â€" that any one intending, bona fide, to engage in agricultural pursuits can procure the free use of .eighty acres of land, with the certainty of being able to buy in per- petuity, for gl.20 per acre. During those ten years he will be exempt from land or local taxes, but nothing is said about export taxes, which are the great incubus upon au industry in Hokkaido. Capital Punishment by Eectricity. There is now being exhibited at Lcipsic an apparatus for putting criminals to death by electricity.
