•"^BiilWSIPWW^ fmrnm u 'f'i! â- 4*' m HOUSEHOLD. A Simple Baby-Basket- Among the mysteries of preparation for a little new-comer, rUothing is daintier than the baby-biske^ wi'h its contents, ready for the first t6ilelte. Very little exjwnse will serve to dreH a common willow, reed^ or shaker basket, so that it will be as beautifal as need be. The material of the basket is of vei-y little, indeed, no importance, as it is entirely covered by a csmbric of pale pink or blue, over which a sheer hite ^muslin, dotted or plain, is drawn in folds or puffs on the iasid«, and let fall in a full ruffle on the outside, the upper edge of the basket being finished by a qnUIing of ribbon in color, "blue for a ^1 " and " pink for a boy, " and carry it into all this preparatory wardrobe. A basket lined with blue would have a small blue pincushion, a blue and white powder box, though a pretty white one is bibylah. The basket being covered and furnished with two inside pockets should then be filled with all the article ne 'essary for the first dressing. A piece of nstirow bobbin, a small bottleorbox of vasel- ine, a number of small squares of soft linen, or the mouth cleansing, a piece of very soft sponge, square of pure castile s a,). These articles will all oe required before the cloths, and should have a prominent place in the basket.for the dressing on top is found a strip of soft flannel, torn from a piece, and turned over only on the edges for the band; the little shirt of hand-knit wool, two diapers of old soft linen, the pin- ' ing blanket, flannel petticoat and the slip, and a square of flannel or a knit blanket to wrap around the little one when it is carried about. The baby-basket will be found every morning with baby's toilette articles all ready, and there will not arise confusion in the search for baby's oirm soap, spongie, etc. For a baby powder, the scented rice powder is not as good as cornstarch, to which a small quantity of pulverized orris root is added; this is the purest and best. In ad- dition, we should also suggest that a cotton flannel apron, furry side out, is a valuable possession for. nurse and mother, as the little one can be taken from the bath on to the lap and rolled up in the apron, which an- swers at the same time the purpose of a soft towel. For wiping of head and face, an old wliite silk handkerchief is a good thing to use at the bath. A dainty wrapper, which is very inexpensive, can be made princess in shape, of cheese clcth and cotton wadding. A layer of wadding should be tacked between two of cheese cloth, and fastened at intervals of a few inches by knots of worsted, as in a comfortable, the worsted pale blue or pink. The princess pattern is then laid on and the wrapper cut out, the seams felled on the inside and the edges tiuished by a buttonhole stitch of blue or pink worsted. These little wrappers can be worn after the bath during the morning, and add warmth as well as save the fresh- ness of the slip for afternoon. shape into croquettes.

Then ntet it into the middle of your tray of flour (adding warm water enough to make the desired quantity of bread), add a little salt and cov- er the top of this batter with flour, and keep it warm until it cracks the flour and foams up through. Then add flour and mix up stiff and let it rise again. Then knead up into loaves, put into pans, let it rise again, not too light, and bake one hour very care- fully. CoBN Stakch, Blaxc-Mange, asd Choc- olate Sauce. â€" Take two tablespoonfuls of corn starch and mix with cold milk very smooth warm to boiling point two pints of milk, in which some lemon rind, sugar, and a few drops of essence had been put, and pour into the corn starch without the lemon peel, while stirring all the time. Let sim- mer a few minutes while stirring, and pour into a shape. Melt a little fresh butter in saucepan, stir in half a spoon of corn flour and some chocolate finely scraped, with sugar to taste pour in M-arm milk, stirring all the time, and beat up with the yelk of an egg. Having turned out the blanc-mange at serving, pour the chocolate sauce over it. Needle Notes. Plait stitches are herringbone stitches done BO fine and close together as to touch each other. Chain stitch is very useful for tacking down the edges of applique work on any article, but it makes rather a coarse line for outlining. A lovely effect can be produced by follow- ing the outlines of a brocaded figure on silk or wool with couching in gold thread on a contrasting color. Darning stitches are very useful for filling in outlines or for making backgrounds. By darned work a beautiful play of color may be obtained on a plain neutral fabric. Tracing stitch is very useful in applique embroidery, and is worked by laying down a line of filoselle or embroidery silk. Secure it with a thread of another color by bring- ing it up from the back of the material on one side of the embroidery silk and carrying it back on the other. The stitches which secure the silk should be exactly equal in distance from each other. FARM. Sbttiko ^eks. Nests for setting hens are best on the lund, but where this is not feasible put le clean, moist soil in the bottom of the nests. A good plan is to cut a sod of suit- aide size, tqm it over in your box and pack so as to be of a concave shape in the centre then cover the earth witS straw broken short. In very cold weather mix a good proportion of feathers in the nest-lining â€" chicken feathers may be saved for this pur- pose â€" and put a spoonful of sulphur in when the hen is set. The heat of the fowls causes the fumes to penetrate every part of their bodies, thereby killing all vennm and leav- ing the brood clean and healthy. Never set eggs laid near the close of the season when the hens have been very prolific, ad they will produce weakly chicks Uable to disease and early death, 'n arranging nests re- member that the nature of fowls is to hide their nests under a brush heap or some out of the way place, and humor this habit by providing nests so sheltered or hidden that they seem to offer seclusion and quiet. Set fresh, fertile eggs, and you will have fine, vigorous chicks if the hen does her duty. Sprinkle the eggs with tepid water every few days when the hen leaves for food and rest this is the secret of stolen nests turning out almost every egg. The hen leaves the nest early in the morning, wets herself with dew or water and at her return shakes her wet feathers over her eggs. Many young chicks are lost at hatching time because the little things expend all their strength in trying to get out of the tough lining of the shell, and die of exhaustion. So don't neglect to give a thorough wetting the last day before hatching and do not ap- ply any sulphur the last week of incubation. Jn summer provide for ample ventilation and also for coolness around the nesting places. OBEAT OUHB OF EVGLAHD. A BncBimoK or the Process of Manufac- TUBiNO Them. England's big guns are madiinii^bars such •atiiat just described, obfled ^pimly, and weMad into a solid mass by the luunmar. Thtmb red kot fomaoes contain a straight bar at a word the door is slightly raised, and with hngh aippen ita head is seized by loops made for the purpose. A steam winch draws on the glowing mass, and brings it to a horizontal capstan fixed before the door. A water hose is turned upon the loop, and while it blackens under the chill a stalwart fellow, wielding a heavy sledge, fixes the loop on a nut projecting from the capstan wheel. Then the machine revolves with re- sistless force, curling the hot metal round and round on its drum neatly and smoothly, and as easily as one of Jordan-Marsh's giiis would wind ribbon. So the coil is formed, whether for the breech piece or the body of the gun, or for its jacket. This again is cooled, and after a while is VAEIETIES. Helpful Hints- Remove flower-pot stains from window- sills by rubbing with fine wood ashes and rinse with clean water. Ih-ained woods should be washed with cold tea, and then, after being â- ^ "ped dry, rubbed with linseed oil. Let all girls have a share in housekeeping at home before they marry let each super- intend some department by turns. Avoid a rich mixed diet for children, it taxes their delicate digestive organs, and causes inflammatory conditions to ensue. If the wall about the stove has been smoked by the stove, cover the black patches with gum- shellac and they will not strike through either paint or calcimine. Lamp wicks should be changed often enough to insure having a good light. If they seem clogged they may be washed in strong suds and put into the lamps again. A young babe should not be fed more fre- qently than onct in two hours, and by the" time it is three months old, once in three hours is preferable. A child is not hungry every time it nestles and frets. Cold biscuits left over from tea may be made better than when first baked by dip- ping them in hot water and placing them singly on the hot grate in the oven long enough to let them get well warmed through. A butter stamp should always be washed in cold salt water before it is used. If soaked in hot water the butter will stick to it, but never if soaked in cold|brine. The salt absorbed by the wood keeps it moist while in use, To save stair carpets nail several thick nesses of old carpet or canvas over the edge of each stair. It is a good plan to buy more carpeting than is needed to cover the stairs and move it each season so that the whole will wear evenly. If stair carpets cannot be changed in this way they will not wear near- ly so long. Meat fed children are cross, and irritable, and quarrelsome. Meat once a day is suffi- sient the other meals should consist of milk toast, cracked wheat, graham gems, oatmeal, gluten, fruit, fruit puddings, milk and such food. Eggs, fish and fish balls are better even than meat, amd should be eaten at breakfast the other meals being farinaceous. A very excellent carminative powder for infants subject to colic, may be kept in the house and prepared by the nurse orteother it consists of five grains of oil of aniseed and two of peppermint on half an ounce of lump sugar rubbed in a mortar with a drachm of magnesia into a fine powder. A small quan- tity of this may be given in little water with good results. " InfantUe convulsions usually accompany teething, indisestion, whooping cough, fev- ers, worms, iiuleed, any disease that causes a r^ex action upon the brain. When a child is seized with convulsions act promptly. Get the child into hot water as soon as pos- sible; do not wait to remove its clothing, put it into a foot- tub Or a child's tub nearly full of water, as hot as can be safely borne, sup- porting it on your two hands. Add from time to time as much hot water as the hiuids wHl beir. Keep the child in the water until relaxation of the muscles is produced, and have blankets heated meanwhile and ready to wrap the baby in."

All the cloth comes fix»m abroad. A statute of 1750 required that master- bookbinders should sew all their books with thread and real bands, and that in case of infringement the books be done again, and a fine of thirty pounds per volume be imposed. Scotland, with a coast line only five hun- dred miles longer than that of Ireland, but with fewer harbours and with less fruitful and more tempestuous see^s, supports by ker fisheries one-seventh of her population. Tre- land supports less than one two-hundred-and fiftieth. In Burmah, when severe illness of any kind had baffled the greatest skill, it is cus- tomary to abandon all further medical treat- ment, the patient's complaint being suppos- ed to be caused by an catI spirit which must be driven away before any hope of recovery can be expected. This is accomplished by means of music and dancing, accompanied by many mystic rites. The mappa was a table-napkin in use in ancient Rome for wiping the hands and mouth at meals. Vulgar persons fastened it under their chins to prevent their clothes from stains, as some do now. In ordinary cases the host did not furnish his guests with napkins, but each person brought his own mappa with him, and occasionally carried away in it some of the delicacies which he could not consume at table. Diamond-cutting is a work which requires great skill and indomitable patience on the part of the workman, and his training is long and severe, for, despite the machinery which is used, much depends upon the deft- ness of the workman. He must be able to tell from an examination of the rough stone what is the proper treatment with regard to its shape and the number of its facets. An in- ferior workman can spoil twenty or thirty pounds' worth of property in as many se- conds. As a rule, classes in Persia do not mingle in marriage. The sons of merchants wed merchant's daughters, the young tradesman mates with his like, and so with the mem- bers of the servant and soldier classes. But in Persia, as everwhere else, extraordinary personal attractions soon become known and have their advantage. The beauty of the lower or middle classes need not aspire in vain. The mother of the king's eldest and favourite son, the most powerful man in Persia, was the daughter of a miller, who caught the Shah's eye while washing clothes at the brookside. Many a poor handsome girl is wedded without portion for her beauty. The success of British Post-Office saving- banks has resulted in the establishment of similar banks in every part of the world. They are now to be found in Canada, the West Indies, the Cape, Australia, New Zealand, and in other colonies, as well as in France (where they are said to have sur- rassed all expectations) in Austria, Bdgium, Finland, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Japan, and Sweden. In all these instances the British system has been followed more or less closely, and in many of time countries oliier savings-banks exist concurrently with the post-office banks. Although it is not possible to state the precise amount held by savings-banks ot all lands throndioat the If orld, there is good reason to brieve thatf it exceeds six hundred millions of pounds. How TO Keep the Weevil ovj of Peas. The weevil never enters these seeds after they are ripe and harvested. Whatever insects will attack them are already inside of the seeds when they are harvested. Take the pea- weevil, for example soon after the blossom withers and the little pod is form- ing, the parent weevil lays her egg or eggs on the outside of this young and tender pod. The e^B soon hatch, and the little grubs eat their way through the shell and into the forming seed. In the case of the pea there is usually but one grub in each while in the bean there are often as many as a dozen. The grab of the pea-weevil grows with the pea, and by the time the seed is mature the grub will be full grown, and has formed a pupa, in which it will re- main dormant until Spring approaches. The pea seeds when harvested may each contain a weevil, which the careless ob- server may not notice. By planting time these will have awakened from their sleep and the seeds will be full of weevils. All devices to keep the weevils out of peas are of no use, as they are already in them when harvested. But we can and should kill the weevils before they escape from the peas, to prevent their increase. Placing the seed peas in a tight jar or box with a little spirits of turpentine is one of the most effective methods. While we cannot keep the weevils out of peas we can kill them while they are in them. Biiggy peas will usually grow, as the grub does not injure the embryo plant. But the food provided for the young pea plant has been eaten, and the plants from such seeds will be weaker and continue to be less vigorous and pro- ductive. It will be far better to bum the buggy peas and buy a fresh lot. refixed fob welding under the hammer. You ought to see this Woolwich hammer. It weighs forty tons sheer weight, and when it drops it falls forty feet on to a block that rests on piles, massive masonry and enorm- ous quantities of iron. Between two great shafts this hammer is suspended, a solid block, which, driven from above by steam, and gathering impetus as it falls strikes with a force of many hundred tons. A vet- eran workman has charge of this massive hammer. He starts and drops it by a touch of his thumb and finger. I saw an open face watch laid down on the block then he dropped the hammer, and he stopped it just in time to break the crystal â€" and no- thing more. They call this last operation of the furnace the " great heat," and about every monarch there is in Europe has seen it, just as I did yesterday. While I am wondering what they thought about it, the furnace to be emptied is flaring with im- patience. Through the interstices of its great door blue, red and purple flames are leaping out. A HUGE CBANE SWIXGS. round a pair of pincers, at the end of which a dozen Britons cluster. The door rises a little, the white light blinds us, and al- though I am at least twenty yards away, the heat burns my face uncomfortably. Water is thrown into the awful gap, and then the men perceive their prey. The huge arms part and firmly close, the door rises to its fullest extent, a clash of the crane gear, a shout from the men and out it comes, easily and softly, a monstrous coil. The crane swings about and places it on end upon the anvil. Then the hammer falls, shaking the solid floor beneath us, crushing the red-hot mass inches down at a blow, welding its coils together so that they can never part. But the inside hollow has been knocked out of shape by this process, so, when the tube has been reduced to its pro- per length, a solid mandril is deftly slipped betwixt the hammer and the iron. For two or three blows the contracted coil attemps resistance, but it gives way, and the man- dril slips to its base, as into butter. Then the great pincers are used again, and it drops the mass on its side, where again it is battered and struck all round. The irregu- larities caused by all this hammering are afterward removed by the plane, as I have already mentioned, and then the gun is made by other machinery. A Short Gall.

Our advice, then, is, if a severe Winter is feared, to take advantage of the snow as a protective covering of 5ie roots of our or- chard trees and vineyards. This can be done by tramping down the first snow that comes, or, what would be more efficient, by means of a horse dragging a light roller over the snow in orchard and vineyard and re- peating it with every new snowfall, in order to compact it and keep it from blowing off. Such protection would not always be avail- able, butoften.it might be made so and ser- ious loss averted. It cannot be supposed that a snow cover- ing would, in an extreme case, be efficient against harm to the smaller branches or the fruit buds, but it might save the root, and thus, through them, sustain the whole cel- lular system of the stem or trunk and the main limbs. Such treatment might not in- sure a crop of peaches, but it might save the peach orchard from destruction. If the roots can be protected from injury the vi- tality of all parts of the tree is sustained to some extent and this thought leads us back to earlier protective treatment â€" to the gen- eral cultivation. Well cultivated trees and vines, those that have been supplied with manure sufficient for their wants, that have had the soil above then: roots stirred during the erowing season, that have not been en- feebled by crops too heavy to be borne and matured in a word, that have had their vigor highly maintainedâ€" such trees will be far better able to resist the rigors of an un- tMually severe Winter, in connection with the adverse conditions of a drought, than those that have been enfeebled by poor cul- tivation and n^Iect.

Dr. Douglas was once astounded at the sudden and somewhat remarkable effect a sermon of his on economy had on an old woman who was a member of his congrega- tion. A few days afterward the old woman stopped the doctor on the street and said "Doctor, that sermon of yours on the subject of economy was the best I ever heard. I never was so impressed by the duty of be- ing econonucal, and I concluded to practice as well as believe your advice." " I am glad to hear that you are pleased. What have you done, if I may inquire " "I have reduced my contribution to the church from $12.50 to $10." The best part of the story is that the old woman was really in earnest and thought she was simply doing her duty. Indisputable Spiritualistic Evidence.
