PARK, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Kidm» Glove Powdeb,—The glove powder so generally used to prevent injury from perspiration is oi value; bni common corn-starch, robbed thoroughly over the hands before patting on the gloves, will also answer this purpose. Cop Podding.— A favorite cup pud ding is made of six eggs, beaten very light, seven tablespoonsfnl of flour and one pint of sweet milk. Stir these all together briskly and bake in cups. Serve with wine sauce. Geobgia Pone —Mix together with the hand one quart of Indian meal, one teaspoonful ot salt, and cold water enongh to make a stiff bat'er; beat it with the hand for ten minutes; put it into a hot greased pan, and bake it forty-five minutes in a rather quick oveo, but do not allow it to burn. Oatmeal Pobridgb— Oatmeal por ridge is excellent if made in this wav; Soak two caps of oatmeal all night in water; in tho morning strain it, and let it boil briskly for half an faonr; then add about two cups of milk, and salt to your taste; let this boil np once or twice; sweeten cr not, as the patient may prefer. This can be assimilated by a very weak stomach, and is not only refreshing, but nourishing. When straining the oatmeal, before cooking, rub it in the sieve with a spoon, so that all the soft part will be saved. CoTered Tard,. Few farmers in America have yet con sidered the valne and use of a covered cattle-yard. In England such are not: uncommon, and they are coining daily | more into nse, both theie and npon the 1 continent. In this conntry, where | building material, especially wood, is more abundant and cheaper, we feel j convinced that their adoption would, in many cases, be found to pay. Proo- ■ erly constructed, they protect the cattle ! from the inclement weather, and allow j of their being turned out many more days in the year than would be other-1 wise prudent. They also make the yard more comfortable' and clean for the | cattle to lie down; aDd they protect the | manure from leaching or washing by ’ rains. In this way alone a roof would : often pay a good percentage on its cost. : Hone AmHenenu. An excellent home entertainment is that of drawing together. In nearly every neighborhood there is some one who knows something of the elements . of this fine and valuable art. Bat if not, good prints abound, and much can be learned from them, if one only hss sharp eyes. A good plan is for all the members of the family to try and draw a picture of some one thing—a chair, or slove, a pile of books, a dog or cat. Or one may sit as a “model,” and give the others twenty minutes in which to make a sketch. This often produces great merriment, and if persevered in, it sometimes happens that some mem ber of the .family develops real talent for drawing. The twilight horn may be improved by a recital of the events of the day. Each one should take bis turn at this, and he obliged to make his description as interesting as possible. This exercise tends to accuracy, if you please, and develops the descriptive powers. Insist upon haviog the story embellished with details. Stirring bal lads. fine poems, and choice bits of prose or verse, chime in well at this hour, if recited. Choose specific sub jects of conversation. Ask the children j to tell all they know about mining, or 1 painting, or new inventions. A pan of modeling clay, or of mud of the proper consistency, will entertain a group of youngsters for an evening, in model ing. The quick witted boy, or girl, will make a rude frame work of wire or wood, npon which to fashion and mold his clay, so it will not tumble down. In drawing and modelin?, young people observe a good many things not before thought of. HouSf talk and home occupations do muoh toward develop ing their minds and talents. Heealas Apples One of the best modes of keeping apples for winter nse is to fiipt hand pick them from the trees, and after carefully sorting and rejecting all such as are not perfectly sound and free from specks or bruises, to pack them in bar rels and set away in a coo], dry place— the north side of a building being prob ably best—until the weather become* so oold as to be in danger of freezing, when they should be removed to the cellar and repacked into other barrels, with alternate layers of fine, dry sand, so that all the interstices among the fruit be completely filled. The sand keeps the apples at a more uniform tempera ture, excludes light and air, and assists considerably in keeping the apples from wilting. They will then keep until spring, as sound and apparently as fresh as the day they were picked from the tre% and in much better condition than if they had been buried in the ground, without being affected with the least earthy or musty smell whatever. The pooler apples are kept, so as not to be in danger of freezing, the better, and, therefore, care should be taken that the oeller be as well ventilated as possible, a precaution not generally observed. Potatoes may be kept in the same way, and will retain their freshness almost aa well, while it is not only less troublesome, but a decided improve ment on the old plan of burying them or covering them in pits. The sand can also be used from year to year for simi lar purposes. Mr. Moody expresses his preference for circuses as preaching places, giving as a reason that those who build circases have a better idea of how to reach aa sadianoethaa those who build churches. FIE. ■r a Smll Bar. A pie as a peri of speech is a prononn, as it stands in the place of a noun, not very objective, most always neuter, un less too old, and agrees with any person who is not siok. They are generally round one way and very fiat the other. When they are cat they assume a triangular shape, until they are eaten, and then we don't know wind shape they have. They are about the only three-cornered articles of food that we have except beech-nuts. A three-cornered piece of pie is about as convenient a thing to eat as one ever closed teeth on, and licked one’s lips afterwards. That is sharp end foremost. The only trouble is you don't know when to bite it off, for the mouth natur ally widens as the wedge goes in. The composition of pies is dough and some - thing else—what that something else is or should be has never been definitely settled. Too can make them out of most any thing that grows in the garden, except thistles and burdocks. A boy told me that his aunty made a thistle pie, but the boy said a lie one day before and I cannot trust him since. “Pankin pies had a great run. Probably at one time they were the most popular pie afloat. It is said—and we can’t doubt the veracity of the state ment—that Robinson Crusoe mide the first punkin pies. Don't know what he made them of, but will write and ask him. It is taken for granted that Fri day made them out of cocoanuts and eel-grass, as that was quite a favorite dish with hie forefathers; but they have given it up sinoe they took to eating the missionaries. I have seen pnnkin pies made ont of apples that I liked very mneh. I re member one I saw once: it was not a very large pie, bnt it was got np in great style. It was made on a white plate with a blue edga * The under crust was made of dough, and was very thin; the inwards were jnst lovely. They were made of what they call mincemeat and a little sugar sprinkled over it The top or upper crust was made out of dough rope-yarn, laid across like the slats of a bed. Oh, it looked lovely. Around the edge was a hoop of dough laid partly over the edge of the plate, and about an inch on the fragmentary meat It was ornamented around the outer part of the hoop with an impres sion made by pressing it all over with a set of false teeth before it was baked, j It was a great appetiser, yon better be- | lieve I They sacrificed it at a tea-shine, 1 and it sold readily at four cents a trian git*, cash on delivery. There are a great many people who like pits, bnt seldom eat them, unieel 'tis because they cant get them. I don't think the common apple pie is very hard to make; for 1 made one onoe ont of cranberries, and all who tasted it said it was very nice. I tasted the most of it myself. I know one boy who was very fond of piee, in fact, rather than do without them, he wonld hook them from bis mother-in-law, if he had one, bnt he hadn’t. Anyway, he was awful fond of them; he was very apt to take a bite ont of one if it was in his way. One day there was a pie made on purpose for him, and put in his way, and he pnt it ont of his own way and everybody else's. I never liked cay enne pepper since; it’s too warm. Tarts are piee’ children, and I'm fond j of children, that is tart children. lean I eat tarts with my eyes shut, and never | wink half an eye fall. It is said that j mince piee made ont ot rhubarb will give you the night-mare, bnt if anybody will provide the minces, 1 will willingly risk the mares. Ones I read of a pie that had two \ dozen dark colored birds in it, and after I it was baked and opened the birds were j not dead hardly a little bit, for they be- : gan to sing melodiously. It was set before the King. History does not sty whether he ate the pie or not, after the birds flew away in o the next yard; bnt I suppose he did, if he was hungry. I 1 , wonld have eaten it Dangers of the Telephone. A Philadelphia gentleman relates the iollowing disagreeable experience with | his office telephone: “My telephone has the hooks for suspending the trausmit- I ter on the front of the case. I was 1 specking with my faee quite close to them and perhaps approached my fore head so near the hooks as unconsciously to touch them. All I know is that sud denly I seemed to see a bright blue and | white fire shoot out of the very body of i the instrument, and at the same "mo j ment experienced a sensation like hav | ing a claw seise and drag np the skin of !my forehead, and holding me by it shake me to and fro with great violence. I was partially stunned. Half an hour at least alapsed ere I recovered myaelf, and my watch, an nnnsnally fine one, has been simply males* aver since. I presume it is magnetised. I know that it will not go. There was no storm at the time, or I should have supposed that I was struck by lightning.” " Oar room are small,” said aha ; but I live in my husband.” ••Tea,'' said her friend ; “ I see yon live in a flat.” The Kansm City" Timm reports that its book-keeper suffered very severely, and for a long time, with rheumatism.

The Tide errtaoeeu Which hat borne Hostetter’s Htomach Bittera into the care port of popular favor, where it haa long found anchorage, may be reaaonably expected to attend only those remedies which are entitled to pnbiio confidence. Anybody who hie watched the eareer at proprietary remedies mnet have observed that the pnbiio eventually gauge them at their true value, and either resign them the fall rank of •tamdard remedies, or deny to them even the brevet of an uncertain popularity. The peo ple have tested to their full satisfaction dur ing the last thirty yeare the value of the Bit ters as a remedy for aud preventive of malaria, constipation, liver complaint, rheu matism and their ailments, and their appre ciation of it ia fully oommenaurate with the thoroughness ot the test Those who expect the most salutary effects from its use are uot disappointed.

Pink, ham, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human beings may be truthfully called the “Dear Friend of Woman* as some of her correspondents love to call her. She Is zealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome of a life-study, and is obliged Ur keep six lady assistants, to help her answer the large correspondence which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its special burden of suffering, or joy at release from it. Her Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not evil purposes. I have personally investigated it and am satisfied of the truth of this. On account of its proven merits. It Is recommended nnd prescribed by the best physicians In the country. On? says: “It works like a charm and saves much pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling of the uterus, Leucorrhcea, irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the con sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to the Change of Life.” It permeates every portion of she system, and gives new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weak ness of the stomach. It cuyes Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down,causing pain, weight and backache, is always permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law that governs the female system. It costs only $L per bottle or six for $5., and Is sold by druggists. Any advice required as to special cases, and the names of many who hare bepn restored to perfect health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can bo obtained b^cddressing Mrs. P., with stamp for reply, at her home in Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound Is unsurpassed as abuhflant testimonials show. • Mrs. Plnkham’a Liver Pills,” says one writer, “ are the best in the world tor the cure ot Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Her Blood Purifier works wonders in its special line and bids fair to equal the Compound in its popularity. All must respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose sole ambition Is to do good to others.
