HOUSE FURNISHING, Pillow sbams that are taken off at Digbt, with the spread and upright square '{i.llowa that support the sbamS; are btill used upon man; bandsome beds, the shama matching tbe bed oot- •ring. But If the bedetwid is low at the bead, the " roll " is superseding the shams and the sbow pillows. This roll is a bolster as long as the bed is wide. It is made firm and round, with cir- cular ends tufted in the middle like a mattrees. This roll is covered with the material of the bed cover, and is laid over the bedspread after the l)ed is made. A good body ingrain carpet will give better wear aud satisfaction than Brussels. an<l they can be had now in almost as choice rich colors as the higher priced carpets. A ftw pretty rugs in colors harmonizing with the carpet and furnishing, add materially to the cozinees of a room. A good Smy- rna rug, in size 2 (t.z4 ft., can he bought for |2. The stiff uphoUteiwd sets of furni- ture that were so common a few years ago. have gone out of styles and it is something for which to be thankful. The hard wood rockers and chairs are so roomy and f^mfortable, and if one is so ioclioed, they can be dresseil with cushions on seat and head rests, to look quite arti»tic. If you can afford it, get one large upholstered chair and a couch ; these may match and be of plush or any of the brocaded stuffs. Your furniture dealer will show you Bam)>le and you can have tb«m made up in any shade desired. CM course leather is the moat alegant, but it is expensive. For the windows, have next the sash dotted swias sash curtains, looped back by white satui ribbon. Two narrow lengtlia .arc used fodr each window, and are fastened into place Iqp two small brass sash rods at top and bottom. When all the windows of a house are thus draped with dotted swiss having ruffind eilges. the effect is ver^ good and gives a home- like, cozy air that more costly lace does not give. Over those sash curtains have light green or cream hot land shades, and over all have lace curtains of a good qual- ity, hung from poUn either brass or to match the oaJc trimming of the room. If you cannot afford guwl lace, swiss Bcnm or even cheese cloth is to be pre- ferred. These long curtains are ma/le to just touch the floor, and are either left to hang straight down or looped back at tli« lower part of the window with ribbons. As to wall paper there are no many beautiful luttems now that one can hardly aiiae it far in choosing. South rooms can hf^ar light blues ano greens. wbil<' north rooms wouUl need some warmer tints. We would advise to pa- lter as many rnocus as possible, because bard, white finished walls are cold and glaring, and a few dollars e|ient in wall ituper wilt help furnish your room more tLan if spent in anything else. As a lii«t woril of advice, don't furnish any of your rooms so fine that lliey will Ije too good fur your dear ones at home. CARE OF WOOr.ENS AND FURS. When furs and woolens are put away in Lhe spring they should first tic freed from dust, whit^h is best dome by bang- ing them in tb«-. sun and wind for sev- eral hours aud Ideating them gently. Wherever any sjiots or soiled places appear, they should, if possible, be well cleaned. There has lieen many preven- livefi of moths n'<ouimended and one is just aljout as gixxl as another. An old-fasliiomvl preventive, uaed in our gran<lmolh<'r'8 da.v8. is ordinary tan- sy. Thi.i is gnnvn in almcist every gar- den and is often found wild. If it can be pnx'ured and the Uwves dried, It will | be found to lie as good as camphor nr t«>liaccM leaves which are use<l so exten- sively. I^ura should be securely wrapped in newHi>ai)cr and all edjres pastecl down can'fully allowing no entrance what- ever for moths. If the name thing can | be clone with the w«K)leri» so much the j better. The trunks or lioxes in which ; the clotbintr is placed, should lie tbor- CKigbly bnuihed cU;an and aired before •anything is put in them. Plenty of the piwentive used should be sprinkled among the clothing, and even with this care a good airing on a sunny, windy day is often n«'<'<'asan' scvejal timt' during the, Kuiriiiier. Should moths ap pear they do their destructive work I'l such a sun>risingly Hhort tiiue that tbe care Ixtstowed cannot lie too vigilant. lag may be given, or a little more per- manganate of potash added to the mix- ture. Lieave until quite dry and then politih with beeewas and turpentine. A REMEDY AGAINST PLIES. Flies will soon make their appearance, acd no matter how good the >;are tak- en, they will get into the house. It has been stated that 5 cents' worth of es- sence of lavender mixed with an equal quantity of water and sprinkled free- ly where flies are apt to congregate, will prove so disagreeable to them that they will not venture near it. Laven- der has to moet people a fresh and grateful smell, and as it can be pro- cured at any drug store for the tri- vial sum of 5 or 10 cents, it is a cheap remedy. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Trans]iarent paper for copying draw- ings or needlework designs may easily be made by placing a sheet of paper over the drawing and rubbing it lightly with pure benzine. The tracmg can then be made, and the benzine evaporating leaves the paper obaque as before. Saturate the earth around house plants every day with the coffee left over from breakfast. It simulates them. Plants that have a red or purple blossom will lie rendered extremely brilliant in color by covering the earth in their pots with aliout half an inch of pulverized char- coal. A yellow flo .er will not be af- fected in any way by the use of char- coal. There is a general opinion that few people, especially among the young, have enough sleep. A famous German phy- sician says that every one up to the age of 21 should sleep for nine hours out of the twenty-four. In middle life people who can perform ordinary rout^ ine work wher they are half »<i,-ke may suffer no harm for a time with six hours' slesp, but all who use their brains should have at least eight hours. An excellent ix>lish for mahogany is made of one part of boiled linseed 6il to two inrts of alcoholic shellac varn- ish. The mixture must be well shaken, applied in small quantities with a wool- len cloth and rubljed vigorously. A fine polish will be produced. An authority on the chemistry of foods cautions housewives against cool- ing loaves of bread too rapidly after taking them from the oven. "Mucfc of the souring of bread," he says, "is doubtless due to lack of care during cfxiling." Bread is, especially while warm, a good soil tor the development of various kinds of moulds and liacteria. A loaf of bread, hot from the oven, tak- en into a iioorl^ ventilated room filled with tieople. will liecome sour in the course of two or three hours. Excellent waterproof paper for pack- ing may I* made of old newspapers. A mixture is made of copal varnish, lioil- ed linseed oil, and turpentine, in equal parts. It is painte.d on the paper with a flat varnish lH°ush, and the sheets are laid one side until dry. This paper has been very successfully used for packing plants for sending long distances. SUMMER FEED FOR DAIRY COWS. The advantagiee claimed for constant stall feeding, or Boiling, oveir pastur- age* may be summoned up as follows: A comparatively small amount of land is required per head ; the food supply can be closely regulated ; the animal does not waste its energy in search- ing for its food ; and finally, the man- ure Doay all be preserved for use in growing cultivated crops. With good pasturage three acres are required to support a cow, while in the soiling sys- tem two cows may be supported on one acre.' In 1892 the Storrs experiment station fed four cows on 2A acres from June 1 to Nov. 1, although no special averaged over 700 gallons each ; so far I have never had the above complaint, but my neighbors have. I do not know if management has anything to do with it I always try to get them dry six weeks before calving if possible. About two months before calving I cease giv- ing them milk-producing foods, and let them run on natural pasture, but should that be too luxuriant, I keep them in an open yard during day and let them out at night. The last fortnight I keep them in a small meadow close to the house whore they aro always under some one's eye and keep them in a loose box at ni^ht. About a week be- fore their time is up I give them bran mash, followed in two days by a red drench. On the eve of their time be- ing up another mash ; during this time am very particular to see that they have plenty of water.

The recent introduction of electric heating at the Vaudeville Theater, Lon- don, in comiietition with low-pressure steam-hen ting, marks a decided ad- vance in the practice of heating by elec- trical methods. There are twelve heat- ers, each 2 feet long and 1 foot wide, arranged around the walla, and twelve heaters in the partition in front of the orchestra. There are in addition four large portable heaters, with flexible at^ tachments, for use either in the center or around the sides of the theater, as necessity requires, although it has been found that they are rarely required. The advantages of electrical heating are esp<>cially marked in the caje of thea- ters where pure, warm air, without powerful currents or draughts, is de- sired. The cost of hcAting the theater for four hours is found to be about «2.88. The simplicity of the means and ap- paratus required for pro<lucing heat electrically, which cxinsist in the mere passage of a current of elec^tricity through a wire of some high resistance material, such as German silver, or iron, together with its manifest advantages of requiring no more attention than an ordiiuiry incandescent lamp ; that it can be instantly applied ; doeb not require several hours' previtiuN bunting, as in the cose of beaiing buildings by hot water or steam ; f reedriin from iKlors, dirt and dust, are constantly enlarging its already extensive sphere. Electrically propelled street cars all over thi^ country arc raiiidly adopting al«clric4il beaters, even though lieiiting in this manner costs iiliout Timr times as much as heat obtained liy burning coal or oil in stiiveH. The cost of heat- ing cars electricilly in temperate clim- ates, like our own, is uIkiui 2 l-4c, per hour, or 40c. pur day of eighteen hours. This increased cost is cxuiipenHaled for liy the greater clennlincss of the cars. the fact that electric heaters do not occupy useful space, and that the heat is more uniformly distributed in the car and near the floor, where warmth is most ii4;r(wable. Electrical heaters are now supplied for cooking purposes ; for neating glue- pots in large iKHik-bindinK efllaluish- ments ; sad-irons in linen lB<»lorie.s ; for the welding of spokes and tires of wheels; the welding of cables, liars, shafts, etc. ; pipe bending apparatus ; for the welding of car trncka in a cxmtinu- ous wliole, thus doing away with bond- ing, and in many forma of electrical furnucua employed in the industrial arts for the production of carborundum, cal- cium, carbide, aluminum, alloys, and in many other pioiewses rei|uiring a very great degree of beat. of the various fodders uaed. The past season the station baa fed six cows on three acres from June 25. to Oct. 25. In stall feeding, very little^ if any, of the food is wasted, while in pasturing much is spoiled by the tramping of the animahs if the ground is wet, or by the fee being covered or made unpalatable by the drofipings. On large, rough pas- tures, where only a scanty supply of food is found at best, our cattle are often obliged to exert themselves to find more food than is needed for the support of the system, and hence have but little food and energy for the build- ing up of products. Our periodic drouths, and consequent shortage of pasture feed, which is almost sure to occur at some time during the summer, makes the use of more or less supple- mentary feed n'oi-e.-'sary if we keep our cows producing to their full capacity. At the present price.s of dairy products, anything but light grain feeding dur- ing the summer season is largely out of the question, except for milk produc- ers ana others getting high prices for their products. There are two ways in which a supply of coarse feed other than pasturage may be furnished â€" as silage, or by the j^owing of soiling crops.and feeding them in a green state. The use of silage to adit to the supply of sum- mer feed is increasing in favor. A few enleriirising dairymen are growing suf- ficieni corn fodder, and preserving it as silage, to supply the nerd fur the entire year. Where this can be econ- omically d<xie, it is one of the cheapest means of keeping up a regular supply of foe<l. It has iTie advantage over soil- ing of reducing the labor of getting the feed to the animals. Corn silage, however, does not furnish a perfect ra- tion, and needs lo be supplemented by the use of sin;ill quantities of one or more of the nitrogenious grain feeds, like coltouseed. gluten, or linseed. In a few coses, crops which ore ready to harvest early in tne summer have tieen preserved as silaJte, for feeding during the latter part of the summer. There seems lo be some difficulties ex|>erienc«d in i be suuunor use of sil- age that do not .appear during the win- ter season. Fermentjition in thf" silo goes on more r.iiiidly in hot weather, and one or two crises have been report- ed where clover has become nearly put- rid during the lime of using. Compar- atively small, <leep eilcs and solidly packed silage seem to be necessary to pn'vent too rapid fermentation during hot weather. In a c-oinplete system of soiling, it is important lo have a suc- cession of fodders throughout the grow- ing season, with eacH. when nee<led for use, in its liest stage of growth for fe«'ding. There should be no breaks in the successiou. and ea<"h crop should lie use<l, as nearly as pos«il«l<\ at the time when il contains the largest oimmiit of valuable food constituents. Forage crops are now available that will af- ford good fe<'d in this climate from early in May until Nov. 1. and in this state rye has eveu l*en fed during the lat- ter ptiSi of April. In deciding on a series of fodder croiis for use in soiling, or for partial stall feeding, the question of the quality as well as the quantity of food should U- corefully considered. Total yield should not l<e the sole test of the value of any crop. The nutritive value of one crop, as indicate<l by the fooil constituents it contains, far ex«>^a that of another. There is a vast difference in fodder crops in their effects on soil fertility. While some are rank fee.<ler8, coiialant- ly depleting the stiil, others aid the soil in storing up the. plant food. If a nuni- lier of cro|is ca.n lie grown having the special power of obtaining much of their food supply from the air and sulieoil, the question how In conserve soil fer- tility no longer bears as serious an asiK-ct as fonue.rly. The great class of plants having this peculiar po>>er of gathering nitrogen from the atmos- phere is known as legumes, of which the clovers are leading representatives. Their great worth consists, first, in their high feeding value ; second, in their high inanurial value ; third, in tlM^ir si>e<!Uil iKiwer of gathering plant f<io<l from n.iiural n-sources, and heJice iheir temlenc.v to improve the soil. Fodder crops are generallv considered to U- in the lest stage of growth for feedin;; when in bloom. If fe<l much befon'lhis. tliej will not have made full growth, and I'lght yields will resiilt ; while if all»we<l to remain standing till past the flowering period, the fo<l- der iH-comes woody, and is not as freely eaten or as completely digested. The Iwsl results seem to be obtained when the fmlilcr from a single planling or sowing is not fed longer th.-in 10 or 12 <lay8. The same kind of crop may be made available for longer periods by planting or .lioning small nrea.s of land successively and feeiling from these as the fodder on each reaches its liest SEEING LONDON.

SAVED HER LIF& What One Bottle of Dr. Affnsw's Onre for the Heart Did for Mrs. J. It, Hll Her. of Whitswood. N. W. T. Only those who have so suffered know the distressing feelings that follow an affection of the heart. Let one who has been afflicted speak, and tell of the remedy which will cure. Says Mrs. J. L. HiUier, of Whitewood. N.W.T. : " For some time I was much afflicted with heart failure; in fact I could not sleep or lie down for fear of suffocation. I tried all the doctors in this section of count ry, but they failed to give me relief. A local druggist recommended a liottle of Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart; I tried it, and with the result that I immediately secured ease that I did not know before, and after taking further doses of the medicine, the trou- ble altogether left me.

TELUNG TIME. â- ow Ike NiBd Mriware* WIicb lliere Is â- Â» i'lorli. " Conscionsnees of the passage of time is determined by a consciousness of the sequence of events." This is true as a general rule. But the mere number of events is not the only thing that de- termines our estimate of the time dur- ing which they happen. Time seems long if we attemi to the succession of events especially - for instance, if we are waiting for something to happen, becaus«> each being more vividly im- pressed on the lulud, in retrospect we exaggerate their number, and so make the time seem longer. While, if we are busily engaged we do not notice each change of consciousness, and therefore the time seems short. This is true of long intervals, but not of short ones. The result of stmie re<<ent careful ex- periments se«m to show that for such short intervals we have, strictly speak- ing, no time-sensel but that our esti- mates deiiend upon the feelings of ten- sion, of ueLiy or of arresLj of ordinary rbysiological functions, and especially of be bivathing. This \r^& tested in the following way : A person's attention was directed to a certain interval of time, varying from 6 to tH) seconds. He was then asked to mark off an equal interval, lieginning at the end of the first. The average error in so doing was 10 per cent, of the ori- ginal interval. The experiment was then arranged so that the second or closing sound of the ori- ginal interval should come at the same respiratory phase," as the first or opening sound had done. The error was then only 2-9 per cent. In a second ser- ies of more difficult experiments, con- ducted on the same principle, the er- rors were resiieclively 24 per cent, and 5-3 iier cent. In a third series, where the attention was purposely withdrawn from the respiratory and tension feelings, the time- judgment waa utterly confused. Michael Adams. M. P. for Northumber land. N. B..
