a few years, an abiding-place with no rent 
to pay, and no moving every year or two, 
with its attendant expenses. 
Few who have tried it will tell you that 
they regret having provided themselves 
with a home ; while many, in old age, 
mourn their folly in wasting, on trifles, 
money which might have been wisely ex- 
pended. 
A Hall Bedroom. 
How to make the most of a hall bedroom 
is a question that interests hundreds of peo- 
ple, for the little room over the front door 
must serve as a bedchamber in numberless 
households. The boy of the family often 
finds this room assigned to him ; but, who- 
ever occupies it, there is always difficulty 
in crowding into it all that seems necessary. 
A bed, being absolutely indispensable, 
must be thought of first. For this purpose, 
a sofa bed is most satisfactory, as it takes 
less space than anything else and makes 
the room more attractive during the day ; 
but a simple brass or iron bedstead will 
answer the purpose. 
The washstand comes next, and may be 
constructed in this manner. At a conve- 
more gravy is liked, use more water and a 
larger proportion of flour and butter. 
Baked Hash. 
Chop cold meat very fine, with a little 
smoked meat to flavor, then add two beaten 
eggs, and a tablespoonful of melted butter, 
and season with salt and pepper. Butter a 
pudding-dish, and put in a layer of hash, 
then a layer of cracker or bread crumbs, and 
so on till the dish is full. Moisten with 
soup stock, and bake half an hour. Gar- 
nish with parsley before serving. 
Birthday Cake. 
Beat one cupful of butter to a cream. 
Add gradually two cups of sugar, the yolks 
of four eggs, a cup of milk, and three and 
a half cups of flour in which have been 
mixed two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. 
Now stir in a bowlful of stoned raisins, one 
of citron, and one of hickory or butternuts. 
These should have been dredged with flour 
before beginning. Lastly, add the whites 
of three eggs. 
With the other two whites, make a frost- 
ing by stirring in confectioner's sugar till 
quite stiff. Flavor with lemon juice.

large eggs a year.”

nient height, in the corner of the room, fit 
a triangular board, supporting it by brack- 
ets, and cover with a pretty oil-cloth. Half 
way between this and the floor, place 
another shelf and divide the space into com- 
partments. On the edge of the top shelf, 
tack a full curtain of blue denim which 
shall reach just below the second shelf. 
Another curtain should be tacked to the 
second shelf, this one reaching to the floor. 
A hanging pin cushion should be placed 
under the mirror, and towel-rings will also 
be needed. 
A divan, in front of the window, serves 
the double purpose of a comfortable seat, 
and a receptacle for clothing. It may be 
made from a box, of the right width and 
length for the space, and covered with any 
strong, pretty material. The top should be 
wadded; and, of course, have hinges that 
it may be readily opened and closed. 
With a warm rug on the floor, a comfor- 
table easy chair in the corner, book-shelves 
over the head of the bed, and pretty pic- 
tures on the wall, the room will be pleasant 
enough for any one: and, with a chiffonier 
just outside the door in the hall, there will 
be room for most of his possessions. The 
door may be replaced by a heavy curtain, if 
desired ; but, if left on, it should open out- 
ward. 
Calves’ Liver. 
Calves’ liver, when properly cooked, is 
very delicate and an appetizing dish for 
early spring. 
Cut the liver in thin slices, and dust with 
salt and pepper. Put in a frying pan two 
tablespoonfuls of butter and one and a half 
of flour. Stir till thoroughly blended, then 
add the liver and a thin slice of bacon. 
Brown carefully, then add two tablespoon- 
fuls of boiling water and draw back where 
it will cook slowly for twenty minutes. If

SSeye GRUB & stump' MACHINE 
The accompanying cut is from a photograph showing this machine at work. This most complete 
and powerful machine is rapidly coming into use wherever there is land to clear and its_ merits 
are known. It works on either standing timber or stumps. Will pull an ordinary grub in one 
and one-half minutes. Makes a elean sweep of 2 aeres at a sitting. A man, a boy and a horse 
can operate it. No heavy chains or rods to handle, steel wire rope being used instead. The crop on 
a few acres the first year will pay for the machine and have the machine and land clear, left. 
Farmers having timber land to clear cannot afford to be without one. much less to continue to pay 
taxes on rich land which yields them nothing, while they exhaust their cleared land by constant 
crops. In timber over six inches in diameter this machine will grub faster than six men can 
trim, and pile the brush. It will pay those interested in clearing land to investigate the merits of this 
machine. For handsomely illustrated catalogue, giving price, terms, testimonials and general infor- 
mation, address a postal card to the manufacturers, JANIKS JI1LNE «& MON, Scotch «*•«««>. la.
