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.

-DOMESTIO,
SNOWBAL OARS.-Stir to a oream a
cupful of butter, two cupfuls of sugar
and half a teaspoonful of good soda,
from a trustworthy chemist's shop.
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. It is a liquid soda
soap."* It. is very useful for washing
doliento colors, and brightening and
cleaning carpets. It gives a greenish
tiint to fabrics withI white grondal and
should not be used for them, but color
od chintZes and calicos, wvhich would be
dlestroye~d by the use of' soap1, may sonmc
times b)e washed in cool water and ox
gall and look like new. To brighten
the carpet, wipe withI a woolen cloth,
wrung out of ox-gall water. If it is
very mchl soiled, add somec good hard
soapi to the water and scrub it with a
brush rimsing with elear ox-gall water.
STRAMED) CumcKEN.-jtub the chicken
on the, inside wvitht popper and half a
teaspoonful of salt, place in a steamer
in a kettle that will keep it as near the
water as possible, cover, anid steam an
hour and a half; when done, keep hot
while dressing ib prepared, then cut up,
arrange on the platter and1( servo with
the dressing over them. The dressing
is made as follows: Doil one p~int of gra..
vy from the kettle without the fat; add
eayenne pepper and haltf a teaspoonful
of salt; stir six tablespoonfuls of flour
into a quarter of a pint of cream until
smooth, and add' thme gravy. Corn
starch may be used instead of the flour,
and some cooks add nutmeg or celery
salt.
CoFFizc ,JJLLY.-Half a b)oK of Coxe's
gelatine soaked half anm hour in a half
teacup cold water (as little water as pos
sible), one quart of strong coffee, made
as if for the table and sweetened to taste;
add the dissolved gelame to the hot
cof'ee, stir well, strain in a mould
rinised with cold water just before using,
set on ice or in a very cool place; serve
with whipped cream This jelly is very
pretty formed in a circular mould with
tube in centre; when turned out fil the
space in centre with whrpp~ed cream
heaped up3 a little.
PAs-ru wirrn Sua'. -Roell half a p~ound
of the best suet, with very little mem
brane ruming through it, on a board
for several minutes, remoaing all thec
skin and fibres that appear when rolling;
the suet will be a pure and sweet short
ening, looking ltke butter; or the suet
may b)e chopped fine and the fibres re
moved. Rub this suet into a pound of
flour, add a teaspoon of salt, and mix it
with a half a pit of ice water; roll out
for the plates, and put oii a little butter
in flakes, rolling it in as usual. Some
cooks adld a little baking powder.
PP'JEsDENT's PUDDrN.-Cut some

Dear Sir-Filteen years ago last fall I was taken N

1go this fall I suffered everything with rheuna

that I could not stop one step ; these attacks were
quite often. I suffered everything that a Uan i
could. Over three years ago last spring I coim
menced taking VERTINII and folowed it up
until I had taken seven bottles; have had no rheu
