young plants are very tender and deli

inches high. Thev can be set out in ]fer
ltmnent hedges the following spring, in
rows, placing them six inches apart in
the row, but should be cut back to with
in an inch of the ground before they are
set out and to make a thick hedge, it
will be necessary to cut back the first
three years' growth, leaving only about
eight inches of the seasons' growth.

Bedspreads of U»bleaeh1d Muslin.
1. I use good heavy sheeting and
make up as if for a sheet, with a broad
hem at both ends then spread it on the
floor, and with a stick, or platters and
plates, and a good black pencil, mark a
design to suit my fancy, all around, a
a foot from the edge and ends. Then I
sew to quilting frames and use No. 10
knitting cotton, and draw through as
thick on the lines as I prefer. Cut the
ends an inch long do not tie, for when
washed the shrinking of the cotton
cloth holds the cotton in. I have used
them and Lad them last ten years but I
always use a washing machine, which I
think saves many times its cost in that
time besides it saves much hard work.

Men ami Women.
The real truth is that, the country
over, there are not enough earnest, de
serving, ambitious young men to marry
the honest, sensible, well-meaning girls
who are ready to do a true woman's part
in building up good and happy homes.
Our family training, defective as it may
be in many respects, has still kept the
rein on girls while it has given spur to
boys, and if the grumblers are sensible
they will try to devise some way to
overcome tiiis inequality, and thus bring
the young man up to such a standard as
shall tit him to do something else in life
than to stand off'and rail at the lollies
or
the frivolities of young women.—Phil

Batter Pudding With Strawberry
Sauce.
Stir twelve teaspoonfuls of flaur into
the yolks of nine eggs and beat thor
oughly, adding a little salt. .Stir in slow
ly a-qaart of milk, and just before put
ng the pudding in a bag add the whites
of the nine eggs. Boil either in a
greased mould or in a heavy linen or
jean bag, which has been well greased
aqd (loured. Let the pudding boil slow-
1v' two hours, being careful that the
water is boiling when it is put in and
that the boiling does not stop lor an in
sutnt till it is done. After you lift the
pudding out of the boiling water, sub
merge the mould or bag in cold water
fora second this will insure the pud
ding coming out of the mould smooth
and glaHSv. Serve at once with the fol
'ouing strawberry sauce: Ieat to a
cream half a cup of sweet butter and
two cups of powdered sugar, and add a
large cup of strawberries. Mash the
berries thoroughly and beat them into
the sauce so that they form a smooth
crimson mass. The golden batter pud
ding looks very pretty with this crim
son sauce, and is delicious. Only a few
strawberries are required, and the early
acid berries are fully as good for flavor
ing as the sweet ones.
Jewelry for the Street.
From a Fashion Letter.
There has been a great change of late
years in fashion of wearing jewelry on
the street, and the tendency* is still to
get rid of all show and parade of jewels,
restricting to essentials—a watch and a
collar-button. Twenty five years ago a
woman who could afford it carried a
small jewelry shop in rings, bracelets,
pins, ear-rings, watcli, long chains,
charms and pendawte.
The modern imitations, which are so
good that an expert is required to detect
them, made it possible for all women to
wear jewelry, and the moment it be
came common it ceased to be desirable,
at least with an exclusively fashionable
lady, and, was voted vulgar on the
Street.
Long chains and chatelaine chains
are eqaully discredited, though they
have not wholly disappeared, and the
tavorite watch is a small one, suspended
from an engraved band, compact tiny
plates connected links, and attached to
the belt, the watch failing into a little
pocket of the dress.
Naturally there are many fluctuations,
many spurts ot fashion, many temporary
crazes for pins bangles, some of which
still survive and are likely to be super
ceded by others the pig craze the owl
craze and now the fly and grasshopper
craze—but these are all fancies which
are born and die with a season. The
permanent tendency is towards the eli
mination of jewelry from street costume
and the be*t dressed women even now
allow none to be visible, except perhaps
the smallest and least conspicuous of
pearl or gold knobs screwed into the
ears. Now that chains have been dis
continued, it is found that they were
disfiguring rather than ornamental that
their weight crushed bice andf4i^ar-(
ranged the front of th'e aress. Bangles,'
too, spoil the shape of a reallv beautiful
arm, and are not admissable with the
very iontr gktvea *u» they
tour of the low er arm and destroy the
gradually diminishing
effects.
Cucumbers That Keep rccn.
Take three gallons of cucuiuoers wash
them, put in pickle for six or seven days
changing the pickle once or twice dur
ing that time scifld vinegar and putin
it a lump of alum as large as a butternut.
Drain the pickles, pack into a jar and
pour the hot water over them. I*jck
some grape-vine leaves and lay over
them. Close the ir for a week, then
pour oil this vinegar, which will do for
another lot scald fresh vinegar in which
some red peppers have been placed,
some horse radish, mustard seed, spices
and celery seed. Lay on fresh grape
vine leaves and pour the vinegar on hot.
Keep closed for a while until thorough
ly col. This recipe is good and given
by a lady who has made pickles the same
way for 40 years and never fails to have
the best. They are green and lirm 1
may add. however, that she makes her
own vinegar by saving apple parings and
cores in a stone jar and keeping covered
with warm water. It is clear and good.
She sometimes adds a teasooonful of
white sugar.

A cure for rheumatism an English doc
tor has found in total abstinence from
food. He declares that many cases of
acute articular rheumatism have been
cured by fasting from four to eight davs,
while chronic rheumatism was also alle
viated. No medicines were given, but
patients could have cold yvater and lem
onade in moderation. The doctor states
that rheumatism is only a phase of indi
gestion, and therefore "cqn be cured by
giving complete and continued rest to
all the digestive organs.
The rapidity with which John China

etc., and nearly killed him before he
was rescued. When Chinamen get to

their edicts in this summary fashion,
there willbe an end to the talk about

Italy is the most malarious country in
the civilized world. Of the sixty-nine
provinces of the kingdom only six are
nominally free from what is known as
miasmatic or Roman fever, and in
twenty-one the scourge assumes ready
serious proportions. Every year no
feyver than 4n,u00 men in the army are
attacked by the disease, and it is calcu
lated that the prevalence of malaria nec
essitates the annual expenditure by the
Government of something like ten mil
lion lire for the maintenance of special
or public servants. It has been found
that the extension of the railway system
lhroughout the peninsula has increased
the evil. The turning up of fresh,
damp earth and the unavoidable forma
tion of new banks, deep cuttings, and
excavations which s ieedily fill with
yvater, breed the disease in its worst
forms. On one of the railway lines
which runs through much nnrsh land
the annual rate of mortality sfmong the
employes is per 1,000.
During the laat decade thirteen men

next larger sum was £1,900,000, left by
John Pemberton, of Liverpool. During
the same period fifty-six men died
leaving more than £-300,000. During th
proceeding decade ten persons left more
than £1,000,000, fifty-three more tlian
£oU0,OO0, and 101 more than £20,0!K).

South B^rn#ra, the famous lighthouse

In Cass county, Mo., is a town with
nothing peculiar about it except its
name, which is Peculiar. According to
local tradition it came to receive that
singular appellation in the following
manner: When the settlement had be

post ollice one of the prominent citizens
sent a petition to Washington to have a
post office established. In reply he yvas
asked to surest a name that yvould
please the people, to which he respond

so long as the name was peculiar."
Thereupon the post oilice was christened
Peculiar, and the name has never been
changed.

Ingenuity ef the Japanese.
Professor Moise, whose entertaining lec
tures upon Jap,in yvo drawn large audi
ences to the Boston Institute of Technol
ogy, believes that the ingenuity of the
•Japanese und the remarkable readiness with
which they comprehend mechanical con
trivances are due to the fact that little chil
dren are carried around upon the backs of
persons in charge of them, and thus see
everything that is going on. "Workshops
and houses," says Professor Morse, "are
open to the view of pwsers-by, and every
where you will see knots of children with
babies on their backs, watching artisans of
all kinds at their work. The advantage to
health is also undeniable, so I upprove of
thin Japane.se way of bringing up children.
It is abtonishing to see the number of chil
dren with babies on their bucks. Little
fellows not larue enough to be furnished
with the care of a live brother or sister will
be equipped yvith a rag-baby secured in the
same manner.
