My You, wants are all in my mind quite clear.

But dinner, what will I have for that?
Well, dear, when I enter, doff my hat,
And turn to the table, 1 want to see you,

To make me lose all the forenoon's fret
And cheer for the afternoon's work to get.
Tell me all your news, and I’ll tell mine,
And with love and joy and peace we’ll dine.
Be certain to give me these, all these.
And anything else that you can or please.
And what for tea? Have I any choice?
Yes, dear; the sound of your gentle voice
And your gentle presence. 1 always feel
The cares of the day like shadows steal
Comes Away from your soul light; the evening rest
So, when just in the way 1 love the best.
With special you are thought planning in our twilight tea
Be a your heart for me,
And certain anything to give else me these, all these,

Make Lime Water at. Home.
There is no need whatever of running
to the druggist and buying lime water
every time it is needed. And, by the
way, it is very useful to have in the
house in case of sour stomach, etc. A
teaspoonful will of it with half a pint of milk
often make the milk quite digestible,
when without the lime water, it might
sour and produce colic, or distress in the
stomach. To make lime water, get a
lump of good unslaked lime, the size of
a hen’s egg, or larger; put it in an old
pitcher and pour on a pint or so of
water. As soon as it is slaked and cool
enough, stir it with a spoon or stick and
pour off the principal part of the milky
fluid into a pint or quart bottle, leaving
the dregs in the pitcher to be thrown
away. Cork the bottle well and let it
stand quiet. In a few hours the lime
will settle to the bottom, except what is
dissolved in the clear water above it, and
this water will nearly always be of uniform
strength. When used down so that it
cannot be poured off without stirring
the bottom, add more water, shake the
bottle, cork it well, and let it again set¬
tle for use. Once a year or so, make a
up a new lot as at first. Lime the size
of an egg will be enough for a good
many quarts of lime water, which will
practically cost nothing. At the ordinary
temperature of CO degrees, a pint of clear
lime water contains only 9J grains of
lime. (A pound is 7000 grains.) Lime
water is a little antacid, and a little
tonic also .—Prairie Farmer.
Recipes.
Fried Tomatoes.—Take cold tomatoes
that have been stewed, add more season¬
ing bread-crumbs if desired, one egg, and sufficient
to make into round cakes
and fry brown in drippings; or the un¬
cooked canned tomatoes may be seasoned
and thickened with bread-crumbs, and
then dipped in egg and bread-crumbs
and fried.
head Egg Salad.—-Put the crisp leaves of a
of lettuce in a salad bowl, and add
four sliced hard-boiled eggs. Sprinkle
a dozen minced capers over the whole,
and add a plain dressing made of one
saltspoon salt, one-fourth saltspoon pep¬
per, one tablespoon oil. Mix and add
to salad, toss tile lettuce lightly and add
one tablespoon of vinegar; serve.
Sweet Pear Preserves.—For each
pound of fruit take one-half pound of
sugar. Save the perfect cores and skins,
boil these in sufficient water to merely
cover the them; strain this syrup and put in
sugar, and add the prepared fruit.
Stew gently until the syrup becomes
colored finely. When sealing the pre¬
serves, if there is too much syrup, bottle
for pudding sauce.
Carrot Soup.—Boil as many red car¬
rots in water as you require until tender;
then cut up tho red part and pound it
very fine. Weigh it, and to every twelve
or thirteen ounces of pounded carrotadd
a quart of gravy soup, or rich stock,
mixed gradually with it; season with a
little salt and cayenne; strain it through
a sieve, and serve it very hot with fried
bread cut into dice in a separate dish.
hops Hop Yeast.—Boil a large haqdful of
in two quarts water for twenty
minutes; strain one half of it on three
pints of sifted flour, and when the other
half is cool, mix slowly with the taste;
stir in half a pint of fresh, strong brew¬
ers’ yeast, or use yeast of a previous mak¬
ing; bottle and cork loosely, and let it
ferment until it ceases to work; next
day cork tightly, and set in a cool cellar.
Make fresh every week.
Plum Tart.—Stone some plums and
stew them for an hour, with plenty of
sugar and half a tumblerful of water.
Make a short paste with the white of
one and the yolks of three eggs, an .
ounce of butter, an ounce of sugar, a
pinch of salt, a little water and ii our.
ltoll it out to the thickness of a penny
piece, joints line a mold with it, uniting the
with white of egg, fill it with rice
and bake it. When done remove the
rice, put it in the stewed fruit and serve.
Fresh Peach Jelly.—Peel and slice
ripe peaches enough to heap a quart bowl.
Melt an ounce of gelatine over the fire in
half a cup of water; while it is melted,
press the peaches through a sieve with a
potato-masher. Mix the melted gelatine
with the peaches, add a cupful of pow¬
dered sugar, and beat the mixture with
an Then egg-whip until it begins to stiffen.
pour it into a tin mold, or earthen
bowl, rubbed with salad oil, and set it
in the refrigerator for three or four hours.
Turn it from the mold before serving.
Half a pint of cream whipped to a stiff
froth and mixed in at the same time
with the gelatine makes the dish exceed¬
ingly delicate and nourishing; but with
the cream added, the jelly must be used
the same day it is made.
Some Underground Wonders.
At Kirknitz, in the Austrian Alps,
there is an intermittent lake that is a
basin which at one season of the year is
filled with water, at another is dried up
and cultivated by the farmers of the
has neighborhood. The imperial forester
just examined the construction of
that basin, and found in one part of it an
immense cave called Karlovoca, which,
when the surface of the water has reached
a certain height, begins sucking up the
water until the basin is empty. This
cave leads to a long series of under¬
ground lakes, all connected with one
another by a continuous currant. The
forester navigated the first of them.
Immense fields of sand and gravel ac¬
cumulate, and alternately stop the cur¬
rent or are carried off by it. The roof
of the caves in which this system of
waters is located, at many places comes
down very low, almost touching the
water, aud in such places the moving
gravel beds frequently close the passage
and cause the waters to rise in the higher
cave. The forester, with three com¬
panions, was in one of the lakes when
the entrance was suddenly closed by a
mass of rubbish tumbling down from the
roof. For more than eight hours they
worked as hard as they could until they
succeeded in opening a passage by the
side of the main entrance, which was
still found dry, and they were enabled to
reach the surface unharmed. But, their
boat and tools were left behind, and will
be have recovered subsided. again after the water shall
Cooling by Magnetism.
It is reported as an observed fact that
the heat usually produced by friction is
absent whenever the bodies brought in
of contact the are magnetized. An explanation
cause has not yet been found. A
striking example is described in a late
number of a scientific periodical:
A workman fastened two powerful
magnets to his lathe, to hold more se¬
curely a piece of metal which he wished
to drill and turn. The presence of the
magnets kept needed the metal so cold drill tlAt no
water Such was observation to keep the this cool. lead
an as may
to it throw important discoveries. Not only may
heat and some light upon the relations of
practical magnetism, but it may be put
to use. The extra risk of fire
in mills and factories arises largely from
the difficulty of securing constant lubri¬
cation of the machinery.
If magnetizing gudgeons or their bear¬
ings will prevent heat from friction, then,
this danger may be avoided.— Youth's
Companion.
Crispin’s Delight.
It is related of the eccentric Earl of
his Bridgewater, that he took great care of
feet. Many people would say that
would be just the way to injure them.
At any rate, he was an excellent customer
for the shoemakers. He kept a large
number of dogs, and had shoes made for
each of their paws, And he took at
least equal care of himself, for he never
wore a pair of boots or shoes more than,
once, and had consequently 365 new pairs
every year. None of his servants dared
touch the boots laid by, which were dis¬
tributed among them every second year.
