A unique device for concealing a dust cloth is here portrayed, in the form of a basket to besnspended on the wall or a door knob. To make one you will need a ,_ round piece of “Art linen” or duck, twelve inches in diameter. Draw a border of blossoms around this, fold it together and mark the lines as seen here to imitate a basket ; these lines are done in the stem or outline stitcb,and the border in an irre ular buttonhole stitch. It is then laun ered very stifl', folded together, and handles sewed on it of heavy linen cord. The em- DUST CLOTH HOLDER. broidery is done in linen flossâ€"shaded pink for the flower border, and straw color for the basket. A bow of pink ribbon is tied on the handle. ' For Young Housekeepers. “When ironing starched clothes have a bit of beeswax tied in a piece of muslin to rub the sad-irons. Hang in the kitchen in a convenient place for reference, a slate, with tape, pencil and , sponge attached. When the contents of a pot or pan boil ' l brown and drain on paper; sprinkle with salt and serve. They are usually served as a garnish to the meat or_fish dish which they accompany. “’aflles.â€"Sift one pint of flour three times and add one teaspoonful of salt. Beat the yolks of two eggs until very light; add to them one cup of rich milk; add this to the flour, with one tablespoonful of but- ter melted, and beat until light and smooth. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff, dry froth, add to the butter and beat again. When ready to bake add one teaspoonful of baking powder; put the batter in a itcher, have the wafile-iron very hot and thoroughly greaied. Pour in the batter carefully, and, as soon as the edges are set, turn the iron and bake the second side. In making waffles as much depends upon the even and quick baking as upon the recipe used. END OF FARM PESTS. The Honey "nine of Intelligent Action Against Insect Enemies. Farmers’ bulletin No. 19. issued by the nited States Department of Agriculture, gives some directions concerning the pre- paration and use ofa few of the insecticide agents having the widest range and attend- ed with the greatest usefulness, economy, and ease of application. There are constant calls for information of the character con- tained in the bulletin, and the effort has been made to give in a concise, yet com- plete, manner the best method of prepar- ing and applying the remedies suggested, by which the best results can be obtained. The overwhelming experience of the past dozen years, the bulletin says, makes it almost unnecessary to urge, on the ground of pecuniary returns, the adoption of the measures recommended against insects. To emphasize the value of such practice it is only necessary to call attention to the fact that the loss to orchards, garden and farm over, throw salt immediately on the stove l crops frequently amounts to from 15 to 75 to prevent the disagreeable odor. Scour the butter bowl and paddle once a week with coarse barrel salt, and use sal soda instead of soap to clean dairy uten- sils. \Vhen baking fruit pics, to prevent the juice running out, insert a small cylinder of brown paper through an incision in the upper crust. Make covers for holders leaving one side open, slip in the holder and haste the open side. When soiled, slip out the holder and wash the cover. On ironing day select one rod or bar of the clothes-rack upon which to hang all garments with missing buttons, and those that need mending. When ink is spilled upon a carpet, cover the place immediately with fine salt. \Vhen this becomes black. carefully remove it and put on more. When soot is dropped upon a carpet sprinkle liberally with salt, and sweep up at once. Save broken and crooked tacks to clean bottles and jugs, they are preferable to shot; the sharp edges scrape off the adher- ing particles and stains. Cut warm bread with a long, thin, sharp knife, dipped in boiling water and wiped quickly. Cut the slices rapidly, and dip again as the knife cools. Polish a piano that has grown dim from exposure to damp air by rubbing it over with chamois skin to which has been applied a few drops of sweet oil. When darning woolen hose make the threads one way of stout thread, with the cross threads of woolen yarn. The result isa firm, smooth darn, which looks and wears well. Useful Recipes. Ice Cream Cake. â€"One cup sugar: 5,; cup butter ; .1, cup milk; .1; cup corn starch ; 1% cups flour ; whites of 4 eggs : 2 teaspoons baking powder and vanilla to taste. Bake in layers and let them get cold. Cream for centre: One cup thick, sweet cream; beat till it looks like ice cream ; make very sweet; flavor with vanilla ; blanch and chop 1% lb. almonds, put in cream, and put between the layers. a Lunch for Evening Partyâ€"Serve frozen cherries with wafers, or shaddocks, cut in halves, with wafers and tea; potato salad with wafers and caviare; fruit salad with coffee or chocolate; anchovy sandwiches would make a change served with coffee. If the refreshments are served at the close of the evening a chafing-dish could be used and oysters or lobsters cooked, or Welch rarebit made. Whole Wheat Bread.â€"-Scald one cup of milk ; turn it into a bowl; add one tea- spoonful of butter, one teapoonful of sugar, one of salt and one cup of water; when lukewarm, add cnehalf of a yeast cake, which has been dissolved in a half cup of lukewarm water. Stir in three cups of whole wheat flour. and beat until light and smooth. Let rise over night. In the morning. when light, add two or three cups of flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Knecd well, and be careful not to add too much flour in the kneeding. White flour can be used for the kneeding if desired. Let the dough rise until it doubles its bulk. Sha it into loaves, put it in a greased bren tin, let rise again and bake forty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Brown Potatoee.â€"Boil and mash the potatoes, seasoning as usual with salt, but- ter and scalded milk. Grease a pie tin, form the potato on it, put pieces of butter on the top and brown in a quick oven. When ready to serve take a clean towel, loosen the edges of the potato and turn on the hand; then slip in the vegetable dish; or. the potato can be brushed over the top with the beaten yolk of an egg, browned in the oven and put in the vegetable dish, as described above. Parisienne Potatoesâ€"Peel the potatoes. and with a potato~scoop cut as many little balls as is possible from each potato, drain well; fry in smoking-hot fat until per cent. of the entire product, and innum- erable instances could be pointed out where such loss has been sustained year after year while now, by the adoption of remedial measures, large yields are regularly secured with an insignificant expenditure for treatment. It has been established that in the case of the Apple crop spraying will protect fron 50 to 75 per cent. of the fruit, which would otherwise be wormy, and that in actual marketing experience the price has been enhanced from $1.00 to $2. 50 per barrel, and this at the cost of only about 10c per tree for labor and material. The cotton crop, which formerly, in years of bad infestation by the leaf worm was estimated to be injured to the extent of $30,000,000, is now comparatively free from such injury, owing to the general use of arsenicals. Facts of like import could be deduced in regard to many other leading staples, but the foregoing, the bulletin says, are sufficient to emphasize the money value of intelligent action against insect enemies, which with the present competition and diminishing prices, may represent the dif- ference between a profit and a loss in agri- cultured operations. MR. SHAUGHNESSY HOPEFUL. -_.__. The Railway Magnaie Looks for an Im- I provement in Trade. Speaking of the reduction of nearly one million dollars in the net profits of the C. P. R. for the past six months, Mr. Shaughnessy, the Vice- President, said the other day, that while trade in Canada was affected by the depression in the States, there is another reason for the great de- crease iu their receipts. Every transatlan- tic road must suffer when the staple proâ€" duct of the country touches a low point. The prosperity of the C. P. R. is largely determined by the prosperity of the farmers along the line of route in the North-West. We have to carry, he said, the product of the country out at rates which the farmer thinks high, but which in reality do not pay us at all. It is not what we bring out, but what we carry in, that pays. Now, if the farmer can get only 40 cents for his wheat instead of 65, it follows that he is unable to bring much in, and this is where we experience the falling off. This will apply to any other product aswellas wheat. W her- ever it be, the transatlantic line has long haulages and small rates, but counts upon a profit on the goods which will he brought in by the farmers in return for the price of their product. The policy of retrenchment has applied to travelling as well as buying. When the depression is acute it makes it- self felt iu the minute things of trade and social life as well as in the large concerns in which the millions are involved. We ourselves have reduced our stock and material to the lowest point,aud this policy has been felt alike in the warehouse and the home. But we are more happily circum- stanced than many of the American roads who have sufl'ered from the depression, in that, when a revival of trade does come, our present staff, which has to be maintain- ed all along the line to work the system, will be able to cope with it, whereas they have greatly to increase their expenses. I think we have reached the lowest point. I am hopeful of a revival now that the tariff question is settled and the manufacturing and other interests have the stimulus of certitude to renew their operations. It Will not do to predict, but I think we may expect an improvement. â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"- The Banana as a Food. The banana is a fruit that possesses won- derfully sustaining properties. It is now fully appreciated; yet years ago, in the warm countries where it flourishes, it was thought of so lightly that it was allowed to waste if not eaten by the cattle. It is true the plant itself was valued,but simply as a shade for cofiee trees, between rows of which it was planted. \Vhen in bloom the banana plantation is a sight of beauty, the buds and blossoms being gigantic afi’airs. In Cuba the fruit is reared with exception. al pride. The Spaniards used to regard the banana as a forbidden fruit, because they believed they detected in its heart the trans‘ verse section of the cross. PURELY Ulll_l._DIlll NEWS.
