I* iloaSx9 HAUNKESIN TnEMszLvEs: - What is quoted as ."horse-sense" is fr. quently nathiDg more. than horse-habit, showing what almost any animal can learn uy practice: but it is true that the modern "educated" city fire-enghne horses, a a rule, do wenderful credit to their trainer, and also to their o wn latelligenee. They are handsome animals and as noted for their remarkable intelligence as for their flue appearance. Under the care of the -mombers, the horses have become very tractable, and are obedient to the slightest word or gesture. A few mornings ago some eviaences of their understanding were witnessc, and are well worth detail. ing. One horse, "Charlie," had received no fcod since the night previous, and when ho was given his merning's supply of oats, lie boan eating with great mast, )ut the words, 'harlie, conic here," spoken in a low tone from the rear of the stable,causeod him instantly to stop eating his tempting breaktast, and to back from his stall and walk to the person calling him. Each of the horses did the same thing without hes ittuicy and at the conimand 'go back, "each trotted to his stall. The harnesses were removed from th< horses, and each one was told in succession to go and put on his collar. The collara were placed on end,eo that the heads coak go through, and each horse walked deliber. ately across the floor and wriggled his heat into lin collar without the slightest aid, After this they poked their heads into thel bridles, which were held for them, each horse opening hIs mouth and taking his bit voluntarily. The main part of the harness can be ihung in any part of the roon with (lie as surance that at the word of Gomamand tle horses will walk to the exact spot and place themselves in such a position that the harness can be readily dropped uito place. The endcavois of the animals to secure ai position favorable to the easy adjustmcnt (f the collars almost compels one to believe that they are endowed with reason.

Sift into the whole enough four (adding a teaspoonful of good cream of tartar) to make the cake as stiff as pound. oake. Just before putting it in the pans add the whites of six eggs, beaten to a stiff froth. Stir the whole thoroughly and rapidly, pour into small patty-pans, and bake in a moderately quick oven. Be careful that the cakes do not bake too long, as they grow hard on top. Put a drop or two of pure extract of 'vanilla on the bottom of each cake as you take at from the oven. Set the oakes on a chi na or earthenware platter, and the steam of the flavoring passes through them and flavors them more deltoately than when it is cooked in the cake; half its aroma and freshness evaporates In the heat of the oven. As soon as the cakes are a little ecioled, but before they are cold, ice them thickly on top and at the sides. Sours.-To make nutritious and pal atable soup, with flavors well mingled requires study, practice and good taste. The best basis for soup is lean uncooked meat, a pound of meat to a quart of water, to which may be added turkey, chicken, beef or mutton bones well bro ken up; a mixture of beef, mutton, and Veal, with a bit of ham bone, all out fine, makes a higher flavored soup than any single meat; the legs of all meats are rich in geintine, an important oonstitu ent of soup. The best herbs are thyme, sage, sweet marjoram, tarragon, mint, sweet basil, parsely, bay-leaves, cloves, mace, celery seed and onions. The best seasoning is that which is made up of the smallest quantity from each of many spices. The good soup maker must be a skillful taster. A vRiY neat hanging flower pot is made easily and with no expense from a cocoanut shell. There are divisions in the shell plainly marked by a slight ridge that divides itself into three equal parts;burn a hole in each of these about half an inoh from the edge; take some small wire and fasten, by twisting into each hole. Have these whes of equal length, as long as you like. Put in some small bits of charcoal or broken crockery; then Mil with earth. Set out oxalia, ivy, or whatever you please for it trading vine, and hang before a win ulow, and you hiave one of the neatest arrangements possible. If you have b~raeket shelves across your windows a little hook ean be inserted in the edge, and this basket hung on it, ECONoMOAL SOAP. -The properties of soap and of silicate of soda possess great analog3. The combinations of weak acids possess a slightly alkaline reaction, their solution being capable of forming an emuision with fatty substances. Those properties in common have led to the manufacture of cheap soaps, con taining a large proportion of silicate of soda or soluble glnas. Two processes may be employed: (1) the addition of a concentrated solution of silicate of soda to fatty or resinous soap and (2) thu saponification of fatty or resinous sub stances by alkaloids in the presence of zilicate of soda. By either method Ia soap1 is ob)tamned suitable for all the uses to wvhich ordinary soap has hitherto boeen aplhiedt, and at a much lower price, as aicate of soda is extremely cheap. Hans1 is an explicit recipe for a break fast omelet: Allow one egg for each p~er son at the table; beat the eggs as light as for the nicest cake, add a little lump of salt and one tablespeonful of milk for eachi egg, heat at least, one minute, then put in a hot fryiing pain in which you have melted enough butter to cover the bot tom wcell, Cover the pan and let thme omelet cook undisturbed, and slowly, until it is st-ill enough so that you can rixo~i the edges easily, then put iuder a little moreo butter, and double the ome tot toguther and slip it off on a hot plate. Thils shioutld ho made after everything else is aiboum ready for theo table 5o that it many be eaten at onice. "'Ox-GALL. is an exelent and delicate cleansing agent.
