Hay I como in again sod eo you all And greet my friends both great and imall, To enjoy your imilea and kindeat wiahca; Jaat oat tho kitchen where I wih the dishes? I think 1 can tell by tho (rill of her cap That Grandma now ta taking a nap. 8och dull brain aa mtne you cannot enrtchen 80 tho dear old aoulaentme to tho kitchen. Of all homo-work thero Is notonedutyaorlpo Aa dish-washing; I've practiced it all my life. Was it her injunction to nae no alang, Nor above thinga abont with a chatter and bang? Well I'll try to be quiet, but who ia to blame; Some of yon leave thinga musty ''all tho same." Mollte, who cheated aoma one pumpkin pica; I think is a small woman with merry brown oyci, We'll not wait to havo tho corn and our feci toga shocked I ween, Hut juat bring them in and cook them green. Here is Chcrrie, with tho black eyes rougish and small, But who ever heard of a cherry having any eyes at all. That alcnder form, with eyca so cheerful and bright, la patient Pcnaic, in loving deeds aho takes delight, I seo a bright complexion with golden hair; Is that Pat O'O. with hii lady fair! Can't 100 Gradma's eyos, only her uoio and Up. My she's waking! gucis I'll havo to skip; DODDINQ ROSES. Juut now is tho timo to Imd ns tho Tark peels readily. Last August I put a few buds into n very thrifty but com mon rose, ono of tho kind that blooms but onco n year. Thin eummor I havo had soutu lovely blooms of choico roses to pay mo. I now have put in buds of every color I could get, and if nothing prevents I will havo n boquct of growing roeen in tho yard. It !h not considered to bo dcsirablo by omo to bud, as tho budn after awhilo lone their individuali ty and blend with tho stock. Hut it certainly gives n pleasant employment and gives pleasure for a time. I wrap a vory narrow picco of old cloth around tho budding placo and take it ofl' after tho growth is assured. To any ono liv ing in tho country, ono who has timo to fipend this is a delightful occupation. Now ono ought to plant pansy seed, tho littlo plants will como up and bo ready for spring blossoming. All bulbs phould bo put out in tho fall, and ect rathor deep, too. My plants and flowers havo given such comfort, I would like to hnvo others try to find tho sanio satisfaction. nome Training for the Children. A mother') fnco brightons n homo liko sunbeams or shadows it liko a thunder storm. Kxort yourself to bo pleasant and good-tompored, nftcr a littlo it will become habitual. Never let any of tho family seo that thoy can annoy or fret or worry you. A inothor's looks aro children' looks, her lifo their living poem. You cducato your children mor ally by your looks and manners. Tho mother should bo an optimist, should always seo tho silver lining to tho dark cloud. Whon clouds of trouble over shadow tho littlo faces her f.-tco should bo sun shining through. Tench religion at homo ; teach mor als and manners at homo, if you mean they shall have good ones ; but don't do it by dogmatizing. Havo order and system, but don't havo too many rules. Pon't depend on church and Sunday schools to teach tho children religion. They aro helps, but no good unless prac tice at homo coincides. Utiles are no benefit if allowed to bo broken. Ono is enough if enforced, namoly: "lo as you would bo done by," and never lot an opportunity pass to illustruto it by practical example. Enforco promptness and diligenco in work and study. Culti vate reverence in your family, reverence for ago, for persons in authority. Rev orenco U tho foundation of good man ners. Ola Fruit Cans. Empty tin fruit cans may be utilized in a number of ways. For pails, open on trie ei-ded end, cutting within half an inch or less of the outside odgc. Lay on a block and with a hammer pound tho half inch left down flat, making a ice rim; punch a hole on each side and put a wiro bale in. Or, if too much trouble to fix tho edgo in that way, put them top down on a hot stove long enough to melt tho rim off; whilo hot ecrapo off all surplus solder. This way does not make as firm an edge, but docs Tcry well for ordinary use. The gallon eixo makes Tory handy paila, as also tho quart ones. For flower pots, open on the smooth ond ; heat on tho bIovo till rim drops off, then turn on sealed end and leave just long enough to melt off tho small round piece. A littlo practice will soon cnablo a person to unsolder them very fasL When putting plants in them, cover tho holo in tho bottom with a picco of tin, glass or anything that will fit ; put in tho plants, and fill with earth. Should you wish to remove tho plant at any time, placo a stick (a spado handlo is as good as anything) on tho picco over tho holo, and press up ward, holding onto tho can. Tho earth will slip out leaving tho roots all undis turbed, ready to bo transplanted. These are nice for putting tomato plants and starting cucumber and squash vinos in, as thoy can bo removed with so littlo troublo that tho plants novcr know it. Tho samo cans can bo used yenr after year. TIiobo having fruit to pick can mako a picker out of a quart can ; cut a V- shapod notch in ono sido not quito an inch deep; fasten on to n long polo or stick by tho sido opposito to tho notch ; when you pick tho npplo or other fruit, let tho stom como into tho notch, givo a little upward jerk and tho fruit is in tho can. Nico bird houses may bo mado of them. If for swallows or martinf, fasten in rows pyramid-shape, leaving tho holo in tho end just largo enough to go in. For singlo housekeeping for wrens, use ono can with a holo cut in tho Bide, or unsolder tho round picco where it is scaled; nail to a post, and if wishod it can bo mado fancy by taking two pieces of rough hark and forming npeakod roof ovor tho can. l'nint all n dark brown and you havo quito an ornamentnl bird house. A wldo picco of bark or board under the can makes a good placo for thorn to alight whon going to nost. With a littlo ingenuity, several Btyles of "architecture" can bo dovlscd. Where cans aro used for flowers, a cover can bo mado of perforated card board worked with whito zephyr. Mako it largo enough to slip over easily ; then in sum mer tho cans can bo buuIc in tho ground and tho cover kept for tho Winter. A Btruce tht Women will Blake Somo day tho women will strike, jwr haps tho sooner tho bettor, not for tho control and guidanco of social life, and we may live to see tho day when a man who is not a gentleman in all re lations of lifo will bo boycotted and left to herd with his own kind. Thero Is no excuse for n man who is n boor, who is given to bad company and openly in dulges his vicious tastes. Thero is a placo for him, but it is not among tho ladies, nor is it a compliment to a man who tries to bo n gentleman, who offers all possible respect to a lady, to find in his society, on equal forms, a man whom ho knows to be unworthy. To taboo him is tho prerogative of tho lady, and much as thoy may rail at society and its failings, thero is no cut so deep to a man as to bo advertised as unwor thy to go into tho society of people whoso respect ho does not comprehend until it is lost. CHOICE RECIPES. Tomato Marmalade. Weight the fruit and tako as many ounces of sugar ns thero aro pounds of tomatoes. Put sugar into n presorving-pan, set it over a gen tlo fire, and stir it until tho sugar molts and acquiros a light brown color. Add three or four onions, minced very linoly, and when these, too, are slight browned put into tho tomatoes cut into piccos. Season pleasantly with salt, pepper, jK)v.dered mace and r rated nntmog. ltoil all gontly together till tho fruit is reduced to a pulp; thon strain tho juico through a seivo, and boil it again this time quickly until u little, put upon n plato will stiffen. Tut tho marmaludo into jars, and when cold cover in tho usual way. This forms a most dainty relish spread upon slices of thin, well- buttered bread, and if nicely prepared it will keep good for a long time. Tomato Omelet Peel four ripo to matoes and cut or chop thorn into littlo dice. Make a heaped tablesponl of flour into smooth pasto with a littlo cold milk; add a littlo suit and iieppor, six well-beaten eggs and tho tomatoes; beat tho mixtnro thoroughly, and fry tho omelet in tho usunl way. It may bo folded over if liked, but it must not be turned. It will require from six to eight minutes to cook properly. Ladles will find relief from their costlvenew, swimming in tho head, colic, sour stom ach, headache, kidnoy troubles, etc., by taking a dose of Simmons Liver Regu lator after dinner or supper, so ns to move tho bowels once a day. Mothers will have better health and the babies will grow more robust by using the Reg ulator, I f an infant shows signs of colic nothing liko a few drops in water for relief. .jfotj $M lulilren; WHEN MAMMA WA8 LITTLE. When mamma was a little girl (Or so they say to mr), She never uicd to romp and run, Nor shout and scream with noiiy fuo, Nor climb an applo tree, She always kept her hair In curl, When mamma was a little girl. When mamma was a little girl (It seems to hor, you see), Sho never used to tutnblo down, Nor break her doll, nor tear her gown, Nor drink her p.'pVa tea, Sho learned to knit, "plain," "seam," and "purl," Whon mamma was a littlo girl. But grandma says, It must be true, "How fait tho seasons o'er us whirl! Your mamma, dear, w&s just liko you, When aho was grandma's littlo girl!" OUR LETTER BOX. Our bright Ilcssie comos again to liven up tho column with one of her good lotlcrs. Yes, Aunt Hetty helped to pack thoso plums, but little thought that Bossio would enjoy any of them. It is tho nicost business thero is to raise fruit, to handlo it, look at it and enjoy tho delightful fragrance of each sort. It is nice to pick it off tho trees ; ithaso bo handled very carefully, for ono bruiso would spoil any plum then ono spoiled plum would ruin each other plum next to it. Then tho trees must bo carefully used. It will not do to gather fruit roughly or so oh to injure the bark of tho trees or break tho tender fruit buds that are forming for anothor year. Aunt Hetty is very anxious to go to Spokano, and no doubt sho will do so. Wo shall havo to send up some of our beautiful llnrtlctt pears soon. People from tho East can hardly believe what nico fruit wo have freo from blight and worms. Wo seo by tho papers that great numbers of people aro coming hero whore tho climate is so perfect and whero no drouth hits ever yot happened to ruin crops. Indeed, this year most farmers havo found that tho yipld of grain has been larger than expected be fore threshing. That is nico of Ilesslu to send patch pieces to littlo frionds. Dish washing is one of tho mod important of housu duties; it is not considered quito agree able, still if ono would just determino to mako it nn art it would Itwo much of Its unpleasantness, no at it with tho de termination to seo how well it can be done ; bo sure to keep tho wiping tow els swoot and cloiu. A doctor said onco thoro was ofton "death in a dish rug," but that was not ono of Iltwaio'H. Si'okank Falls, Aug. 1 1, 188G. Kditor Home Circle: You seo I havo changed my duto again. This is a beautiful placo with tho great pino trees all among tho houses, tho magnificent falls and tho lovely river. You will havo to como and seo us now, Aunt Hetty, when you como to Spokano in your trnvels. Wo have been having splendid plums from your orchard for weeks past, and I al ways think of you every ono I eat. I think Clarke's seedling is just delicious. I would so like to soo Irene's littlo kids. I send hor some pioceH for her crazy quilt to Lcaburg, Oregon, this mail. I like to sew too ; I made my last dress myself on tho machine. I am eleven. Here is ono of my namu cards for Aunt Hetty. June und 1 Uku tuodinh wash ing turn about; I'm always glad whon it is over.

Plenty of gravel is an essential part of poultry diot. Seo to it that your (owls aro fully supplied. Watch tho thormomotor. Look alive, or butter will becomo too soft: cream will over-ripen. Don't trust to senso, but ubo a thermometer. Cows should bo milked by tho samo milker, and as quickly as possible, and good, pure water and salt placed in easy access. A force pump throwing a spray is used by some poultrymen in throwing white-wash and othor lice killing liquid into tho cracks and croviccs of tho poul try quarters. Nevor feed a horso with liny from a rack located abovo his head, as a draught beats down which is injurious, and tho dint is liable to injure his eyes. Cows should bo kept in improving condition. Cows In falling condition havo troublo in calving. A fat cow, de clining in condition at time of calving, will not do as well as a poor one. Card tho cows. Help nature to got rid of the old hair covering; it roliovcB them from a great amount of discom fort. A goal carding cannot bo substi tuted for more feed. Cows liko it. For inflammation or caked bags on their cows, writes a correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman, tho worst caso I cvci saw was comparatively curod in four hours by thoroughly soaking and rnl- bing with tho juice of tho pic-plant stalk. Horse-radish shonld lie dug out in tho fall, and on no account should it bo left over for another soason. If this bo done, tho main root will become partially rot ten, and assume such a woody totturo as to rundor it ontirely unfit for use. Milk must nevor bo allowed to stand in cans after being roturnod to tho farm, and they should bo thoroughly washed in warm water and thon scalded with water boiling hot, and thoroughly scoured with salt at least twico a week, Soap, soda, or such alkalies should not lo used to clean cans or pails. Tnko two teacups of Hour, ono table spoon of butter, ono salt spoon of salt; milk to mako dough. Knosd with tho hands for ten minutes. Hrenk off into pieces tho size of a walnut and roll as thin as pajwr. Stick with a fork thickly to prevent blistering. Hako in a moderate oven and ynu will secure good crackers. Small tin enns, in which prepared cocoa is sold can bo mado into vory pretty match rccoivers by crocheting with Florence knitting silk a cover to lit tho box ; tho ordinary singlo crochet stitch is lined with n finish around tho top of a row of full sholls, draw tho cover over tho tin and suspend with bright ribbons. Squash and sweet potatoo vines hav ing rootlets that grow out from tho un der sides of tho joint, which anchor them and prevent tho wind from dis lodging them, should bo lifted vory care fully when growing, as tho rootlets not only hold tho plants in place but nsiist in procuring nourishment, and any damage done in handling retards the vines. If tho currant worm put In an appear ance dust tho bushes with white helle bore till the foliage shows tho prcsenco of tho powder freely, or tuo spoonfuls of tho ponder can be stirred in a pint of water end then applied with a sprinkler whon the foliage is dry. Repeat as often us worms are seen. The application is equally good for gooseberry or roso busheif. There are many recipes for getting rid of muche. One as harmless us any is to slice up cucumbers and lay tho pieces in the way of tho bugs, An other, not quite so harmless, but more effectual, n to grind up wluto sugar and calomel in equal parts and sprinkle tho mixture over any sort of food or of swonti tho roaches readily oat. It will kill them, and mice too, if not rats.
