A handsome low serene is made by
painting a large cardtioard a sky-blue,
then paintings spray of daisies and clover
blossoms on it. Then set this in a f ra me

snd this is to be placed In a light ebony
frame with a standard.
Roots should not 1 fed with straw or
poor hav. as they are too much alike in
composition, t eed the roots with clover
or good hay, and give the more ooncen
trated food with the straw. It requires
more skill to l successful in feeding poor
than rich kinds of rood.
Foundation walls for Imnig and stables
should go down deep on low soils tltat
are not well drained. Many walls go to
rum by failure to go a little deeper for the
foundation. An exceptionally cold win
ter may cause damage from frost, and it
is alwaVs well to bank tip as much as
possible.
Unless the shocks of corn are made

To make a nice teacake, take one pound

i Roll out and cut into rounds, drediring

Tlie color of the hog seems to lie a mat
ter of importance. Exin;rimenu show
that, contrary to expectation, a black hog,
such as the Essex and Berkshire, thrives
beet in the Sor.th, w hile the white breeds,

A drink that is truly refreshing for one
suffering from sore throat or cold is made

That plush may be "leaned is a fact of
interest ; children s plush coats that have
liecome so led on the front can be softly

and water without injury : a teaspoonful
of powdered borax to nearly a quart of

soft sponge, and, by the way, a s;nge
may be softened by boding it in clear
water; then take it out and rinse it in
several waters, if not softened sufficiently
repeat the boiling and rinsing process.
A most excellent pudding is made by
stewing one pound of prunes until they
are so tender that the stones may be re

it like thick paste, then mix it with the
rest of the mdk ; leat four eggs very light
and add, and lastly stir in the prunes,
over which you have first sifted a little
flour. Boil or 8 team for two hsxtrs.
Serve hot, with some highly flavored
sauce; venilla or wine sauce is preferred.
A grape trellis is a permanent institu
tion, and the extra expense of making it

a few boards over a favorite vine that an

fruit? That by warding off cold rains
and dews and checking the passing off of
heat into space will probably make the
grapes one or two weeks earlier. This
semi-protection is also in many places a
preventative ol mildew. J he finest grapes
grow on vines trained to house walls un

PARALLEL LINES.
Every student knows that in close rea
soning parallel lines of thought are laid
down and deductions eduml.
It is not our purpose at this time to en
ter into a learned discussion, and we
have drawn the above visible lines sim
ply to bring them prominently before
your eye and ask what they represent to
you.
A railroad man to whom we showed
them said, "To me those four lines repre
sent a double-track railway."
A doctor repliid to the same interroga
tory, "The lines are to me the large ar
teries and veins lying alongside each
other in the human body."
As will le olwerved the same lines to
either gentleman suggested different lines
of thought, as both looked at them
through eyes accustomed to see only that
which for the most part occupied their at
tention. To the writer both answers put
an old truth in a fresh ond original light.
As every intelligent man or woman
knows, the blood of everv living jieraon
flows with almost railroad speed tlirougli
the arteries, forued by that wonderful en
gine, the heart. From the arteries it is
side-tracked through the capilliarie
and veins, and every drop of blood goes
through the kidneys for purification so
less than 2500 times every twenty-four
hours. If the kidneys lie diseased the im
purities of the blood containing the worn
oat tissues, and deleterious acids are not
drawn out or excreted as nature intended,
but continually pass and repans through
every fiber of the system, carryiag death
and deeav with every pulsation. Unless
remedied the heart becomes weakened,
thelungstrying todo double work break
down, the liver becomes congested, the
stomach refuses to digest food and the re
sult is a general breakdown.
Why?
Betiause the kidney's, the sewers of the
system, are foul and stopped up, and the
entire blood becomes nothing more nor
less than sewage.
Now is it not criminal, nay, suicidal,
to allow such astute of things to continue
when a simple remedy is within your
reach, known fora certainty to do as rep
resented, winch will ojien the closed pijies
of the kidneys, allow the effete matter to
escape, relieve the overworked heart,
lungs and liver, cause a healthy apatite,
put the bloom of health in your cheek,
the dove of hojie in your breast and the
light of life in your eye?
You already have divined the remedy
we have reference to ; its praise is univar
sal, its influence world-wide. Do not al
low prejudice to blind you to vour liest
interests, but to-day procure Wurner's
Safe Cure and be iut on the straight roud
to rude health and correct living.
Our parallel and closing lines to you are,
bike our advice and your experience will
justify you in thanking us for bringing
under your notice a remedy without a
jKtralieL
