Young val may be told by the bone in the cutlet. If it is very small the veal is not good. A Avineglass of strong borax .water in a pint of raw starch will make collars and cuffs stiff and glossy. If you wish to keep a sharp knife don't put it in hot grease-; stir your potatoes while frying, or turn meat, with a fork or an xld case knife kept on purpose. Vegetables with a strong flavor, such as onions and turnips, will be much improv ed by putting them to boil in coldVater, renewing this from a kettle of boiling water as .soon as it conies to a scald. Thick brown paper should be laid under carpets, if the patent lining is not to be had. It saves wear and prevents t:.e inroads of moths, which, how ever, will seldom give trouble if salt is sp.inkled around the edges when the carpet is laid. Warm bread or cake may be cut without becoming moist and heavy, if the knife, a thin, sharp one, is dipped into boil ing hot water, wiped quickly, and the bread cut immediate ly, before the knife has time to cool. A napkin shonld be laid double on the plate where the warm slices are laid. A cement, said to be capable of use where resistance to the action of both water and heat is required, is composed by m i x i n g o r d i n a r y gl y c e r i n e w i t h dry litherage, so as to constir tute a tough paste. Fot unit ing the joints of steam-pipes nnd other similar applications, this preparation is said to be very satisfactory. Carpets in cold climates sei m to be a necessary evil, but they should never be tacked to the floor. The latter should be parquetted, if means permit: if economy is necessary then the floor may be stained, and a large rug laid in the center wi t h sm a 1 1 er ones 1 y i ng a ro u 1 1 1 . These rugs should be aired and shaken frequently. To make good soft soap: Put the contents of a box of good lye, three pounds of clear grease or its equivalent in' kitchen scraps, and a pint of ciude turpentine or rosin, in a large pot, with two pailfuls of cold water; let it come grad ually to a boil, and keep up . the same amount of water un til it jellies. When done, put in another bucketful of water and boil a little longer, then! pour out while it is hot. 1 have much better success in this way than by following the directions on the can. fcherp SlirnriiigM. Ninety pounds is deemed a good weight for the average Texas sheep. Thegieatest prolit in feeding sheep for mutton is gained 'while the animals are young, says an exchange. The early lamb will winter better, and shear from one to two pounds more wool, and will usually make a larger sheep. A wool grower of 40 years expeijence in Michigan thinks fiat the fanner who fails to wash his sheep loses 2. cents on each fleece. Stand by the sheep. A sheep comes up every six months and pays its bill; it does not die ir: lebt, is the way the Livestock Kecord puts it. Jt is claimed that wool wash ed after it has been clipped, and left for some time in its mitural gm eombw better and makes more, perfect cloth than if washed while on the sheep's body. herever sheoo feed, y in- sweet "-lassos tiomUb n,i weeds nre destroyed ' 'k-ivs m ! w tuni as much food nia writer.

A New Yorker sold, last year, G;")( worth of wool and lambs from 118 sheep. A sin gular fact about his lambs is that they were sold in Chicago. They were shipped from the east end of Lake Ontario, within 2."0 miles of Boston. I'd nil Hon;. High culture of fruits is recommended by a writer as the coming remedy for insect depredation, disease and frost killing. Trees should always be set about as dee) as they stand in the nursery, or two or three inches deeper, to allow for settling of the earth. The woman who has a nice pile of dry wood and chips near at hand will ring the bell on time and wear a smile as she serves dinner. Manure should never be placed in contact with the roots when setting out a tree, but used as a mulch or top dressing. There is no good reason why the best varieties and species of huckleberry should not he found growing in every garden where blackberries and rasp berries are cultivated. It is said that if a three-! quarter inch hole is bored in! apple trees affected with the "hitter-rot, and the same tilled with saleratus and then plugged up, it will effectually remedy the evil. The venerable P. 1. T. Moore says culture, pruning! and manuring are most impor tant during the lirst few years of a young orchard, and the lack of them can never be atoned for by subsequent care. Where weeds have grown up in the garden to such a height that they cannot be plowed or spaded under, cut them down and let them dry. After they have been well dried apply lire and burn the surface of the ground over, which can be done with but little risk if a (dose watch be kept over the lire as it progresses. The ad vantages will be that the ap pearance of the ground will be better, the ashes -will serve as a fertilizer, the seeds of weeds prevented, and thousands of insects destroven, as well as having labor in the garden next season. Make Tour Home Attractive. Mothers and fathers who j have sons and daughters grow ing up do not always realize as they should the great ne cessity of making home not merely a place in which their children eat, sleep, and are clothed, but one in which they tind positive happiness and en joyment. In nine cases out of ten where you seen wild youth or a giddy girl, go to their homes, ami you will find them cheerless, unattractive, or per haps actually disagreeable. The nature of youth is ex cessively restless; it has a longing for action and excite- ini'Mit, ambitions more or less vain, aim always the irrepres sible, desire to know :i broader life. Hepress these natural instincts, and you will be sure to throw them into any society that in a measure will gratify their longings. Your sons do not go to the public bar-rooms at li st for the tast? of the lupior which they have not as yet acquired; they go f,r the gay companions they lind there The inllnem- f c r good or evil that a niother has over her sons, the control that she exercises over their destinies, is a grave responsibility. Throw open your best room to the children in the evenings. Have books and a magazine or two, even if you put away less money. Stimulate their am bition, and invent occupations and amusement for your chil dren. Give them games and endear yourself to them by sharing their joys and plays. Encourage them to be affec tionate. Dot not with formal coldness starve theni for want of earesses.American Ag- riculturist Tito ISnnaua n Food.

While standing at my desk I lift my eyes and see BID feet, of shelving loaded with goods. It almost startles me, and puts me to thinking What has brought such rapid growth. I remembered 20 months ago I was almost penniless, out of employment, and could not iind any. Everything in Con cord was said to be 'over done." For fen months I looked for something to turn up ; then it -was bitterer than gall, now it is sweeter than honey. A great lesson.- Wait not for something to turn up, but have the backbone to turn it up yourself. Although I had but 17.47 left, I resolved j to make one desperate plunge, j Before me lay two roads, one ! to Annihilation, the other to j Success. I resolved on the latter. I knew a few "thim ! ble heads" would sneer at my j stock of worth of no tions (sio borrowed). My room av:is Sxl2 feet. I laid down a few butlirm rules to sell for CASH only, at 2. per cent., and one price to all. I opened on the 2d day of April, 'S7. and in a day or two I had nothing to sell, and had set It he people on lire with 10c. ' needles at 2c. Six months of t toil drove me from the "rat ifrap" to a house much larger. ; about 'Hx2o feet, where I ex ! pected to remain if I could af- j ford to pay the rent, which ; only lacked S42 of sizing my j stock at that time. After four months I would have moved ! again had 1 not rented for 12 'months. Determined to have ! room 1 rented one of Concord's 'best stores, which is 7." feet I deep, and has a handsome (glass front, known as the "old j stand of Dove, Host & Fink," ! one door above their present quarters. (roods at 2." per cent. Cash Down, drove me j from my little Sxl2 feet to 7."x2o in less than IS months. I challenge the. credit system to surpass that if it can. I j warn you to keep out of a : system which taxes you to i j pay for the goods sold to the j man who don't pay, and invite you to call over and see for yourself if the cash system of the Racket Store is not the only safe and true one. My New York agent writes me he has shipped more of that pound calico. Come ear ly if you want any. A small lot of N. C. Plaids left at 01c. Remember I have moved in the house between Messrs.
