Otjrkant I oe. Water ices of all kinds
are very good, and oh taper than ioe

three pints of water and a pound and a
half of sugar to one quart; skim; add two
cups of currant juice, and when partly

Indian-Meal Bannock. Heat one
quart of milk; when it boils pour Hover
one good pint of oornmeal, in which one
tablespoonful of batter has been mixed.
Stir till the batter is quite smooth; then
add four eggs beaten very lightly, the
yelks and whites separately, stirring
them in while the batter in hot, and
bake it at onoe. Speed is everything in
making this oake suoooasful.
To Fny Ena Plants. Egg-plants
should not be ohoson too large, as they
are-inolinod to be pithy; peel carefully
and out in alioee oue-qnarter of an inch
thick; put the slices in lightly salted
water, and allow it to remain for two
hours. Dry perfectly before cooking.
Take two eggs and mix oold in a pint of
milk. Have dried bread crumbs or pow
dered craokers. Dip the egg-plant in
the milk and eggs, and then into the
bread or cracker crumbs. Have in your
fryingpan a piece of butter, and when it
is very hot put in yonr (shoes and cook
thoroughly. To have "fried egg-plant
well lone, put the slioes when c ! in
a piece of paper to absorb the grease.
Usefdi, aHiNTO, Boiling water will
remove tea stains and many fruit etains.
Pour the water through the stain and
thus prevent it from spreading over the
fabric. Ripe tomatoes will remove ink
and other stains from white cloth; also
from the hands. A ieaspoonful of tur
pentine boiled with white clothes will
aid the whitening proofs. Boiled
starch is mtteli improved by the addi
tion" of a little spermaceti or a little salt,
or both, or a little gum arabio dissolved.
Beeswax and salt will make flat irons as
clean and smooth as glass; tie a lump of

To be n MuccewifiirFnrincr. Tf
Many years of experience and obser
vation have taught us that two things
are absolutely necessary to profitable
.farming: the first a sottltd policy, and
the second, thorough pulverization and
manuring. What is meant by a settled
policy is that a farmer should asocrtain
the crops best suited to his land, as well
as to the demands of the market; and
having deoided on these, to stick to
them through thtck mid thin, whatevor
the fluctuations in price. He will And
lttonu oiiener than mias, which is not
the case with those who jump about
from one thing to another, with no set
tied rule to go by. No man should ever
engage in a special business of any kind
merely because some other individual
has made money by it. It requires long
experience to grow and market success
fully any peoisl crop, such as broom
corn, tobacco, etc., and we had better
increase our experience with such pro
ducts as we know than to fly to new
ones, about the handling or cultivation
of whioh we know but HI tie or nothing.
It is in the better oulture and manuring,
in farming, that the greatest improve
ments are made. The most effectual
way to lossen the cost of production is
to increase the yield per acre. There are
hundreds of farmers who for years have
boen cultivating forty acres of corn for
two hundred barrels, and twenty acres
of wheat for two hundred bushels, and
yet find it hard work to get along. To
Ml such we should say, put half the
and in olover and give such cultivation
and fertilization to the other half as will
enable you to raise as much grain on
the thirty acres as you are now doing on
the whole sixty. And although this
could not be expected to be accom
plished in a single year, yet there is ho
question that time wonld soon bring it
about. If you think the Bixty acres are
too rauoh for you to undertake at onoe,
try it on a few acres, and we will answer
for it that after you have harvest J thirty
bushels of wheat or seventy rive bushels
ol "m to the acre on thes , you will be
so disgusted with your old practice of
growing the third of it that you will be
very willing to increase the area of your
heavier producing lauds.
To Crow Pine WMat.
A heavy crop of olover, upon whioh is
applied m any fall from two to three
hundred pounds of piaster, and as much
more the following April or May, and
the same summer treated to eight or ten
bnshels of lime before breaking up, is
erhaps the best preparatory process to
insure three or four successive orops of
w heat, especially if the peed wheat be
saturated with brine and an additional
five buabela of lime be applied at
Ume of seeding. Salt is well known to
be highly beneficial in preserving the
healthy cdbdition of both (be bud and
grain, while it is equally efficioions in
the destruction of insects few worms
or bugs snrviving in land in whioh
mnoh of it is present. In many in
stances, too, where it has been used on
wheat at the time ol seediag, it has
been fonnd to be of ease litis) aarvinA in
mJ preventing rail and mildew. Recent
reports from Tennessee, Missouri aud
otin-r States whi i. mi-! has been most
ii jcrioun, bktte that the application of
salt to the toil (particularly where the
seed wheat has been saturated with
brine;, has almost entirely prevented it
appearanoe. Indeed, from a large muss
of testimony, both from English and
American farmers, we find thai aalt, ap
plied at the rata of ten, twenty and even
thirty bushels to the sore ou land sown
in Iieat, has gfveu larger returns from
the cost incurred then from the appliga-
tion of anything else. And it is for
this reason that it has come to be so ex
tensively used in Onondaga county, Now
York, and Southeastern Illinois, where
the facilities for its procurement at so
small an expense are so great one
farmor finding the application of ten
bushels of lime to the aore to be of such
servios to his wheat as to have induced
him tu inrrriifH! the quantity annually
appli d to his land to a thousand bushels.
Application of I'urls trtn.
Thomas Wittaker, in the American
(hdlivtttor, says: List week I was plant
ing potatoes, and 1 found the Colorado
beetle feeding upon one of tfte sets be
fore I got it oovered. My wife went to
look at my early potatoes, which were
just breaking ground, and picked off
nearly half a pint. I immediately went
to work and mixed Paris gT&en and land
plaster in the following manner : I took
a sheet of strong brown wrapping paper
and on this spread the plaster, then
sprinkled on some Paris green, and
bringing the sides of the paper up over
the mixture, I so rolled and crushed
it that the green was soon evenly incor
porated with the plaster. I added as
much of the green to the plaster as to
give it a slight green tint. This 1 ap
plied to the vines by means of a little
tin sifter, whioh did its work well; and
the mixture did its work well, too, for
we have only found dead beetles since.
This method of applying Paris green 1
can recommend as a safe and tnhient
remedy for the beetle; and I think if
every one who raises potatoes would use
efficient morins for a year or two, the
jjioraao oeetie wonld appear in so
small numbers as not to be thought
troublesome or injurious.
Uses to Which Seaweed is Piif.
Mr. Stanford, the originator of the
British Seaweed company, according to
Harper's Weekly, has succeeded in ex
tracting everything valuable out of sea
weed. Having gathered his raw mete
rial, it is stored under cover to drain,
and then driedither in the sun's rays
or heated rooms. The weeds are subse
quently submitted to hydraulic pressure
to lessen their bnlk, after whioh they
are distilled in iron retorts kept at a low
fed heat, the gas generated in the oper
ation being utilized for carrying on sub
sequent operations, or for lighting the
factory. During distillation the sea
Weed gives off a quantity of tor, which
is redistilled, aud the volatilo oil which
then passes over is treated with a weak
solution of sulphuric acid, by which the
red coloring matter is preoipitated.
Having deoanted the residue of the tar
into another still.greater heat is applied,
and parafflne oil passes over. This is
purified in the ordinary way with oil of
vitriol and caustio soda. The pitch that
remains is pumped into brick ovens,
the heavy vapors and more paraffine be
ing eliminated, and the solid portion iB
burned into coko, whioh is eagerly
bought up by iron-masters. It is rauoh
more valuable than ordinary coke, be
cause it is almost entirely tree from
sulphur. Turning now to the con
densers, we find that in the process of dis
tillation a quantity of liquid has been
left. Being allowed to settle, the tar
by specific gravity falls to the bottom,
and the lighter fluid, be j treated with
lime, yields ammonia. It will thus be
seen that these once despised woods
now yield ohlorides of potassium and
sodium, gas, paraffine oil, sulphate of
ammonia, aoetate of lime, pure charcoal,
ooloring matter, and iodine. By Mr.
Stanford's process every ingredient is
utilised, and, what is of far greater im
portance, uome of flie precious iodine is
lost during the manifold operations.
Musical Precocity.
Before he was eight years of age Men
delssohn excited the wonder of his
teachesi by the aoctiraoy of his ear, the
strength of his memory, and, above all,
by his incredible faoility in playing mu
sic at sight. Meyerbeer at the tender
age f six played at a oonoert, and throe
years later was one of the best pianists
at Berlin; while the genius of Beethoven
showod itself so early that his musioal
education was commenoed by his father
at the age of Ave. When two yearn
younger than this, Samuel Wesley, the
musician, could play extempore music
on the organ; and the distinguished
German musical composer, Robert Sohu
mann, also showed at a very early age
a strong passion for musio, and remark
able talents both for playing and com
posing. Though be lost the use of his
right hand at the very outset of his
studies, he worked on with a giant's
strength, struggling against ail ob
stacles. . .-,1,.,- .- -si .

!few Zealand.
New Zealand consists of three islands,
known as North Island, Middle Island,
and Stewart Island, which latter is a
small island lying to the south of the
Middle Island, and containing only 780
square mflfls. The North Island coo
tains about 44,000 square miles, having
a rather smaller area than England.
The Middle Island contains about 55,
000 square miles, -having an area about
equal to that of England and Wales
combined.
In 1870 the population of New Zealand
was 240,000. A census was taken again
in March, 1878, by whioh the population
was ascertained to be nearly 416,000,
boaides 45.C00 Maoris, or natives, giv
ing an increase in the white population
of sixty-seven par cent, in eight years.
The greater number of the Maoris live
in the North Island, there being up
ward of 40,000 of them there. They are
scattered over nn area of 23,890,000
acres, giving less than one native to the
square mile. The greater number of
them are Christians, aid they have
many churches and schools, and are
daily more and more conforming to Eu
ropean habits in their dress, manners
and bouses.
The climate of New Zealand is equa
ble, the variations of temperature being
comparatively slight. It must bo re
membered that, as New Zealand is in
the southern hemisphere, all the mete
orological conditions are the reverse of
those in countries in the northern hem
isphere, excepting the oast and west
winds, which are the same there as here.
The sun is seen to the north at noon
instead of to the south, and the moon
also; while constellations which, like the
Great Bear, are seen by us in the north
tfn sky, are not visible at all in New
Zealand. But the inhabitants of the
southern hemisphere see many constel
lations in the southern skies which are
never Been by us in the north.
Gold is found in considerable quanti
ties in New Zealand, both as alluvial
gold, which is obtained by washing the
deposits of 'dirt,' with which the gold is
mixed, and also in veins in the quart
rook. The quantity of gold exported
from the islands between April 1, 1857,
and June 30, 1878, was 8,826,785 ounces,
the value of which is set down at 64,
476,495 steriing. Of this, 711,801
sterling were exported in the half year
ending June 30, 1678.
Other valuable metals, suoh as silver,
mercury, copper, lead, chromium, man
ganese, and last, but most important
iron, have been discovered in tho colo
ny, and will be worked to advantage.
The ooal fields are subdivided and let by
government on terms very favorable to
the lessees.
There are in the islands between 160,
000,000 and 170,000,000 acres suitable
for farming purposes, of which abont
50,000,000 are better adapted for pas
turage, the remainder being better for
agricultural uses.
There are no large quadrupeds indi
geuous to New Zoaland, a small kind of
rat being apparently the only one; but
all kinds of domestic cattle have been
introduced, and thrive abundantly.
The indigenous forest of New Zealaud
is evergreen, and contains some very
valuable kinds of limber. Many of the
moro valuable trees of Europe and
America have been introduced, and
flourish with a vigor rarely seen in their
original homes. Emit is abundant all
over the colony, among the best of
whioh are oranges, lemons, citrons, lo
quato, peaches, apples, pears, grapes,
melons, figs, aprioots, plums, and marfy
other.

The Little Scamp.
About a week ago some young ladies
got up a party to go on a moonlight ex
cursion. The night finally arrived, and
so did the moon, and it flooded field and
river with a glow of pearly riohnese.
When the party was ready to leave the
house whioh had been appointed as the
rendezvous, it was noticed that one of
the most .charming young ladies of the
coterie had a shawl on. 'What's the
matter, Luoyf ' inquired one young lady.
'Are you afraid of taking cold?' 'No,
no,' she replied. 'The thermometer is
up at 86. You 11 roast if you wear that
shawl.' 'I'm willing to roast,' she said,
rather pettishly. 'Don't you know why
she wears that shawl? ' laughed her lit
tle brother, as he wipod some taffy off
his mouth with his jaoket sleeve. 'You
keep still, you John Henry,' soreamed
the dear angei, as she turned a trifle
red. Tht boy then got out of reach
and yelled, 'I'll tell you why she wears
that shawl. When she gets out on the
river Bob puts his arm unckr it and
hugs her, and nobody oan see through
the game. '

She is thankful to tho man who mar

attentions when 'important business'
has kept him out late at night, and fears
that his devotion to business will wear
upon him. She finds out the dishes
that will tickle his appetite, and makes
them with her own hands. With her he
has two worshipers at home. She en
courages bim to smoke She smiles on
his bachelor friends. She studies him
in every way. She makes her daughter
cheerful while bo is at the club or other
plaoes. She minds the baby while they
go to entertainments, and never wants

best of husbands. She continually en
joins upon her daughter that she never

la one of the departments at Wash
ington is a esse open to public inspec
tion, iu which are preset vad specimens
of tbs hair of aU the President, from
our fkst chief magistrate to Franklin
Pierce. Tb hair of Washington is
nearly a pur white, fine and smooth in
its appearanoe. That of John Adams is
nearly Mm same in color, though per
haps a httle ooaraer. The hair of Jeffer
son is of a different character, being s
mixture of white and auburn, or a sandy
brown, and rather ooarse. In his youth
Mr. Jefferson's hair was remarkable for
its bright color, The hair of Madison
is ooarse and a mixed white and dark.
The hair of Monroe is a handsome dark
auburn, smooth and free from any mix
ture. Ue is the only President, except
ing Pierce, whose hair had undergone
no change in color. The hair of John
Qaicoy Adams is somewhat peculiar,
being ooarse and s yellowish-gray in
color. The hair of General Jackson is
almost a perfect white, but ooarse in its
character, as might be ; supposed by
those who have examined the portraits
of the old hero. The hair of Van Huron
is white and smooth in appearanoe. The
hair of General Harrison is a fine white,
with a slight admixture oi blaok. The
hair of John Tyler is mixture of whits
and brown. The hair of James K, Polk
is almost a pure white. The hair of
General Taylor is white, with a slight
admixture of brown. The hair of Mil
lard Fillmore is, on the other hand,
brown , with a slight admiature of white.
The hair of Franklin Pierce is a dark
brown, of whioh he had a plentiful crop.
It is somewhat remarkable, however,
that sinca Pierce's time no one has
thought of preserving the hair of his
suooessors. There are vacancies in the
case; but there is no hair either of Buch
anan, Lincoln, Johnson or Grant.
Served Them Right.
An Indianapolis exchange says: A
brakeman on the Peru road, who isn't
much for style, but a solid, substantial
fellow, concluded to take the two daugh
ters of his landlady to the Caslleton
oamp-meeting, last Sunday, and pro
cured transportation for the party from
an obliging official. The trio boarded
the train at Massachusetts avenue depot
and found the oars well filled. In the
one they entered two spruce young men
occupied double seats facing eaob other,
bnt made no txove toward accommodat
ing the ladies. Their esoort said he
would go into another oar and try to find
seats. He was successful, and returned
for his company. They, in the mean
time, had acoepted seats beside the two
young men mentioned, and when the
brakeman walked np to them pretended
not to notioc him. He coolly walked to
the front of the oar and jumped off.
When the conductor passed along taking
tickets the girls said, 'Mr. has our
passes.' 'That may be,' responded the
fare collector, 'but that won't help you
much on this train. He left the cars
before we got out of the oily,' The
young men paid the girls' fares to Oas
tleton aud probably back home, but tl at
is not known. It is safe to say that the
brakeman lost no time in changing his
boarding house.
Interlopers.
Hjw many quarrels wonld be made
up were it not for interlopers ? It some
times happens that men who have cut
eaoh pther on some foolish, pretext for
months or years, find themselves stand
ing elope to each other in society, and
are on the point of swallowing their
pride and shaking hands, when an idle
fellow begins a conversation with ono of
them, and the opportunity is gone, per
haps never to return. Again, how many
marriages are prevented by interlopers?
An interrupted proposal is not always
continued. An innocent person enter
ing a room in order to write a note may ,
spoil all by appearing at the critical mo
ment; and even a servant with a coal
box has been known to put to flight a
nervous suitor. Indeed, servants are
much given to interloping. If a wife is
to be consulted, a child soolded, or an
awkward question broached, an over
zealous domestic is sure to become in
terested in the condition of the drawing
room fire, or oommenoe preparations for
afternoon tea, Bnt on what trifles im
portant matters depend. We remember
a boy losing a fine estate by jumping
over a flower-bed of a relative.
Initials on Fruit.
Did you ever see a name printed on a
growing apple, pear or peaoh? No?
Well, if you wish to have that pleasure,
this is the way to obtain it: While the
fruit yet hangs green npon the tree,
make up your mind which is the very
biggest and most promising specimen of
all. Next, out out from thin tough pa
per the initials of the name of your lit
tle brother or sister or chief orony, with
round spooks for dots after the letters,
and the letters themselves plain and
thick. Then paste these letters and
dots on that side of the apple whioh is
most turned to the sun, taking onro not
to loosen the fruit's hold upon the stem.
As soon as the apple is ripe, take off
the paper outtings, whioh, having shut
out the reddening rays of the sun, have
kept the fruit green just beneath them,
so that the name or initials now show
plainly. After that, bring the owner
of the initials to play near the tree, and
say presently, 'Why, what are those
queer marks on that apple up thore?'
You will find this quite a pleasant way
to surprise the very little ones, and, of
course, yon oan print a short pet nam
as easily as initials.

The wife of a lawyer who lives in
Montolair, N. J., and is said to be gift
ed with the power of second sight,
tried it on a young lawyer who was
paying attentions to the maidens of the
village. Complying with bis request
that she should tell bis fortune, she
said: 'You are a mairied man ; I see
before me s young woman with light
brown hair, lifting pleading hands for
you to return. She is praying for you
to fulfill your duty as a lawfully wed
ded husband, and is waiting anxiously
to bear from yon. Go baok to her.' The
young lawyer vanished from Montolair,
r'ahlon for the Ladles.
Plaitings of laee soften the gsy ban

Bonnet trimming for winter will be
very rich in oolor and texture.
Collar and lapols will give a mascu
line air to autumn street dresses.
Fanoy feathers will bo the leading
feature of the trimmings of winter bon
nets. Some of the artificial buttercups, half
opened or tightly closed, look exquisite
ly real
A chip bonnet with crape trimming is
the suitable traveling hat for a widow in
tho summer,
Feather fringes and borders are made
of the tiniest tips closely curled. OJd
little tufts of white feathers like snow
flakes aro dotted abont iu dark feather
borders.
The new red is amaranth, with purple
shading that will make it popular with
blondes, while for brunettes is vietu
rouyc, like tho dull scarlet known ss
Pompeiian red.
The rolled brim English turban prom
ises to remain in favor, and thero are
pretty ronnd hats with a drooping
square front, while both sides and the
back are turned up.
Fow outside poekots are seen, bnt
occasionally they are made quite effect
ive as trimmings by being cut in a long
sqnare-cornered shape, and plaoed on
the edge of the basque, where they
bang like a bag.
For plaitings to border skirts, clusters
will be greatly used. When contrast
ing materials form the tiimming, clus
ters of plaits of tho gay trimming will
alternate with othora of the plain mate
rial chosen for the dress.
Harper's Bazar sajs that the coat
basque and plaited rouud skirt will be
one of the stylish designs for woolen
dresses. The basque is short and tveu
all uround, or else it curves shorter on
the hips. It may have a vest, or a
square guimpe like a plastron inado of
the material used for trimming, or else
it may havd the plastron vest, which is
pointed below the waist, and really con
sists of two rivjrs sewed together down
tho middle, extending from the neck
down, aud curving narrower at the
waist line. This may be of plain cloth
or of satin, or else it may be almost
ooveied with parallel lines of zigzag
braid placed crosswise in points.
