Mashed potatoes left from dinner can be mado into a nico tea dish by tho following niothod : Rub a teacupful or two of tho potatoes through a colander; mix with it half as mnch finely chopped cabbage, a tablespoonful chopped onion, and tho yolks of two hard bailed eggo.

Tho last thing is, when tho cakes nnd custard nro cold, to tnko a sharp knifo nnd cut tho tops off tho cakes nnd fill tho cavity with custard, returning tho top to its placo. If tho cakes nro right thoy will bo but bubbles, nnd nro truly delicious. Destruction ot Bird Llfo. How shall wo prevent tho destruc tion of birds now so prevalent nil ovor tho country. Tho killing of birds for millinory purposes is reaching a fright fully alarming figure. 01 Woman I You nro charged with being tho direct causo for tho'nnnunl murder, in Amor ica alone, of 5,000,000 harmless creatures tho pretty birds. And nil becnuso your shamoloss mastor, or siren mistress, Fashion, orders you to wear tho poor, murdorcd birds upon your head-gear. Thoso 8amo birds, if allowed to livo in pcaco with ns, as thoir and our Maker intonded, would havo bcon less usoful to us than tho horso or ox. Tho birds aro our ohiot natural protection against tho insist hordes which aro now accredited with doslroying yearly ovor 300,000, 000 worth ot food nnd fibor plants. Tho Capo Cod bird-killors shoot 10,000 torn each year, and near Philadelphia 1, 000,000 bobolinks havo bcon killed in a singlo month. A Now York dealer hondlos 80,000 skins a yoar, nnd 70,000 wore supplied to Now York denlora in four months from a singlo village In ono London auction room, over 760,000 bird skins were sold in four months last year. Thcso are but a fow figures. Tho result of tho slaughter is that in many localities tho birds aio nlmost it not wholly nnnihilatcd. Happily, tho American Ornithologists' Union has taken tho good work in hand of conn toracting tho brutal custom of fashion nnd of onforcing tho laws against bird (laughter. Queen Victoria h arrayed against tho custom of wearing b'rds in England, and h is proposed to organize societies of fnV,,onab1o wornon in out oilies to bring into d'sroputo lbi w'ek ed foil". Our Co Mtry Homo. Wns. GU" Wo Do w;.u On CJr'n? At n social gnthoriug, says tho (Jhnr)cston, S. ('., Dispatch, somo uto pioposed this question, "What i',.'l I Leach ny daughter!"

Thcro comos a timo when wo grow old And, like a sunset down tho sea, Slopo pradual, and tho night winds cold, , Como whispering sad and chillingly; And locks aro gray As winter's day, And eyes of saddest bluo behold Tho leaves all weary drift away, And lips ot fadad corat say, Thoro comes a timo when wo grow old. Thero comos a timo when Joyous hearts, Which toapod as leap tho tho joyous main, Aro dead to all savo memory, As prisonor in his dungeon chain; And dawn of day Hath passed away, Tho moon hath into darkness rolled, And by tho ombcrs wan and grey I hoar a voico in whisper say, Thcro comes a timo when wo grow old. Thcro comes a timo when manhood's prima Is shrouded in tho mist of years, And beauty faded liko a dream, Hath passod away in silent toars; And then how darkl But, ohl tho spark That kindled youth to hues of gold Still burns with dear and stoady ray, And fond aflbctions, lingering say, There comes a timo when w grow old. Thcro comos a timo whon laughing Spring And goldon summon cosso to bo, And wo put on tho Autumn robo, To troad tho last declivity ; ltut now tho slopo With rosy hopo, Doyond tho sunset wo behold Anothor dawn with fairor light, Whilo watchers whisper thro' tho nif lit, Thcro comes a timo whon wo grow old. ttoru$ I). Plympton. OUR LETTER BOX. A Now Year's loltor comes from Nel lie It must como fresh, as its dato bo gins this now yoar of 1887. Wo do in deed wish that wo had been ablo to at tend that entcrtninmont. Its too bad Nollio could not mako that stocking-bag. Now if only dear Nollio could step iu somo afternoon, how glad Aunt Hetty would bo to cut nnd plnn ono for her littlo friend. It is ono of tho nicost ac complishments for n young girl to know how to sow with a ncodlo, to sow noatly and woll ; so fow girls aro taught now to sow or do anything usoful. It may bo "nonsenBO," ns n lady said not long ago, for girls to plcco quilts, or knit, whon et-jkings aro so cheap. But it is not from a monoy point wo look; iU that our girls may bo woll employed, for "Satan finds somo mischiof still for idlo hands to do." Thcso acuta minds nnd bodies must boat work, nnd if not guided right, thoy will surely go wrong. Id tho sons of rich men who go often nstrny. Tho boy who is forced to work for his support has no timo for idlo pleasures. Nollio sonds a good nut to crack. Hervoy comes next. Ho hnsdouo very woll indeed for n beginning, nd hopo ho will ty nnd try again, every timo trying to do just n littlo bettor. Wo would liko to hoi row "Tinker," for wo hnvo n wiso old greyheaded rat that cannot bo caught with n trar nor will ho oat nny thing wo fix for hJni but with tho oxccllont character Tinkor has, maybo ho could shako tho lifo out of old greybeard. Sistor'o nico letter will como out next time. Thanks to our dear friend Juanna for her letter of rcmomhrancu. McMiknvimk, Jon. 1, 18S7. Editor Homo Circle t I wish you n happy Now Year.

At homo means moro than being in her own houso and by hor own fireside It means her natural, unaffected, nnd unnr tiflcial state. Tho ideal woman of to day noods no fashionablo dross, no fan or parasol, no elaborate hat with plumes, birds, ormotal ornaments. No gaslight, no sound of organ or piano. No, not thcso, but n sweet choory faco, with n tint of roso ; oyes that speak, hair that falls in trosscs unrestrained, and Eomo trifling, simplo costumo that but serves to bring out tho beauties of tho form it covers. Thcso aro tho women who livo through all timo who nro rospcclod by all men, who nro fallen in lovo with, who are tho mo3t attractive I low tired tho eyo grows of dazzling colors, of fashion and formality I How tho heart yoarns for simplicity, gontionoss, nnd purity. To thcso cardinal virtues wo aro always returning. It is not her faco alono thnt attraots, but it is what sho says nnd doos in hor ungunrded moments. Plain Juanna.
