A Finished Girl. A day or two ago, a Brooklyn girl turned home from a male and female boarding school with her degree of A. B. and plumped down at the dinner table to renew her acquaintance with her family. •'I say, dad, you bet I'm glad to get through nook banging for keeps!! just held a full hand of literature, now you listen: Jerk the grease, will youl" The old man passed her the buttor and went quietly on with hi 9 meal. '♦it's my innings for society now, dad," she continued, "aud you've got to pile up the sheckels for the shucks! This water melon vine is coming torth in lisle thread, and don't let it slip your forgetfulness. There is going to be considerable bangness on the top row of hooks this season, and the late lamented is to locate thereabouts. What's the new thing in gum-chewers' now?" The father contemplated her for a mo ment in silence, and then told her who had moved into the neighborhood during her absence "Do they hook up behind or are they frogged in front?" she demanded. They were about her age, he responded. "Anything new around at the hallelujah dispensary? Got the same lung starter in gig blinkers to do the tooth gnashing. Yes the same minister was there, and everything was progressing about as usua'. "What's become of the silk umbrella, who used to wiggle around here on the marry and settle deal? lias he dumed or does he still rattle?" Her old lover had learned she was com ing home, and would probably call in the evening, the uld man thought. "No good; he's cases now. I've got an other buckle, who'll down him the tirst flip out of the box, He's just a T cart for veg etables, and when he sprawls in here the rest of these clay pipes have got to settle now. You hear me shout language! What's become of the ice cream freezer that used to set him out?" That one has gone to 'Frisco. Wouldn't be back till fall. "Prime calico! He's always scaut in the skirt! I told you how he and i coppered the lestival to lose, and he broke on the first hand of strawberries. Never played him again. ISay, dad, can't you open a lit tle game to-night?" 4 'What kind of a game do you want,my child?" "1 want to buck you for a couple of a hundred and a half. Got to flag out now, because my blankets are getting dim. Stand it?" Then be arose solemnly and took her by the elbow and led her into the garret. And there were sounds of a highly finished young Udy receiving an extra polish which was warranted not to wear off for a day or two, at least. But she had established one thing iD the old man's mind and tnat was the doubtful uttlily of mingling the sexes at school retreats. The Heir of the LgltiiultU. The Comte de Chambord, of France, is ill from paralysis. If the Comte were to die just now, his death,lt might be thought at first, would have no perceptible influ ence on the politics of the French Repub lic. But it would soon haye to be remem bered that such a man could not disappear wholly from the European stage without some effect being produced on the very sensitive conditions of political life in France. There would at all events be one claimant the less for a French throne in f ulunty. The death of the Comte de Cham bord would dynastically fuse the claims of the elder and younger Bourbons in the person of the Comte de Paris, who is the heir alike of Henry IV. and Louis Phil ippe. But this fusion would be rather formal than real. Politically and morally the Comte de Chambord has no heir.Should Henry V. die, there is no Henry VI. to succeed him. All the hopes and claims and piayers and faith of the Legitimists would have gone out with his dying breath. There would be no divine-right Dauphin to succeed a divine-right King. There would then be lelt as possible claimants to a possible French crown only the Comte de Paris, as head of the Bourbons, and some Representative, whoever he may fin ally appear to be, of the Bonapartlsl le gend. No doubt it would be, therefore,to a certain extent, an advantage to the mon aichist party to have these claimants re duced in number. The Cointe de Ch mbord the Comte de Paris and the Napoleons re presented three distinct principles in mon aichial government, and therefore came to be tbree competitors and dissentients on the monarchial side. It was to the advan lege of the republic that they should keep up this rivalry among themselves, and that their various claims should be found it reconcilable. It is possible that if the Comte de Chambord should die just now the whole royal, as distinct from the im perial party, might rally under the stand ard of the House of Orleans. But although this is possible, we do not regard it as probable. The Orleans Princes somewhat discredited themselves in the eyes of French constitutionalists generally by the advan ces they made toward the representation of the elder Bourbon branch. The Comte de Chambord, by standing firm on the question of the national flag, undoubtedly strengthened himself with his own follow ers and did something to revive that expir ing faith in legitimacy which seemed so 111 tie in keeping with all the principles and the spirit of our material, progressive age. It is very questionable whether the Comte de Paris could now succeed in en listing on his own behalf any of that half devotional enthusiasm which was given so lreely to the high-descended claims of the Comte de Chambord. On the whole it seems most likely that, should the Comte de Chambord die, the legitimist party will die with him. Karnes of Flowers. Ihe peculiarities of flowers in color, form or smell have given birth to poetical fancies about them which are more re markable for monotony of invention than for beauty of feeling. As a general rule flowers spring from tears if they are white, from blushes or from blood if they are red. Lilies of the valley are in France the Virgin's tears; anemones in Bion's idyl are the tears of Venus for Adonis,and the Heleniuin, which according to Pliny, was supposed to have sprung from the tears of Helen, was, probably, a white flower. If we may believe Catullus, the rose is red from blushing for the wound it inflicted on the feot of V enus as she has tened to help Adonis. But, if Stephen Hernck is right, who of all our poets deals more fancifully with flowers? Roses were originally white till, after being worsted in a dispute as to whether their whiteness excelled that of Sappho's breast, they blushed, and "first came red." This is very like Ovid's account of the mulberry fruit having been originally white till it blusned forever after witnessing the trag edy enacted beneath it of the sad suicide of Pvramus and Thisbe. The blueness of the violet is interpreted in a similar strain to the foregoing. In the "Hesperides," violets are said to be girls who, havihg defeated Venus in a dispute she had with Cupid as to whether she or they excelled in sweetness were bea teu blue by tbe goddess m her wrath. AGRICULTURE. How TO KILL WHEAT MOTHS.—I know of but one efficient remedy for this msect and that applies as well to the weevil, and to the Angoumois Grain-moth, which is said to do no little damage in the southern and southwestern past of our country. I have frequently seen every kernel of corn in samples from the Gulf States perforated by this latter molh-Jarva. The remedy proposed is Bisulphide of Carbon. We have only to pour a quantity of this iuto the bin at the bottom of the grain to Kill all of the insects. It is very penetratiug and volatile, and equally deadly to all of the insect tribes, i tliiuk that a half pint of the liquid would destroy the insects in a bin of 50 to 100 bushels of grain. Not having experimented with grain in such quantities I cannot give the precise quan tities of the liquid tc be used m different sized bins of gram, but this can easily be determined by trial. To apply the remedy it is desirable to pour the liquid in at the bottom of the grain. To do this we can take a hollow irou cylinder—a gas-pipe will do well—and lit iuto it a wooden rod which shall be a little longer than the iron tube. Oue end of the rod is tc be made sharp; now place the rod inside the tube, and, with the sharp end down, force them both to the bottom of the graiu; then hav ing withdrawn the roil, turn m the liquid through the tube, which should be pulled out. The insecticide of course Is left at the bottom of the grain, and, being very volatile soon diffuses through the mass and converts the bin into an insect ceme tery. BRINING A HORSE.— Oue of the most senseless, and yet a very commou habit of the American peaple, is the reining of dri ving horses so tight as to inflict upon theui a great deal of pain, under ihe mistaken idea that it adds to the stylish appearance of the animal. When people see a horse's head drawn up by the bearing rein, aud see him stepping short and champing the bit, tossing his head and rattling tne har ness, they assume that he is acting in the pride of his strength and fullness of spirit, whereas the animal is really suffering agon ies of pain, and is trying to gain, by these movements, momentary relief: To our view, a horse looks better, and we know he feels better, when pursuing a natural, leisurely, swinging gait. It is as necessary for his head to oscillate in response to the motions of his body as it is for a man's hands to do the same thing. A horse al lowed his head will work easier and last longer than one ou which a check is used. Biinds are another popular absurdity iu the use of horses. They collect dust,pound the eye and are in every way a nuisance. A horse that cannot be driveu with safely without them should be sold to a railroad grader. No colt should be broken to them. IT is uot always true that a pile of ma nure steaming with heat aud smelling strongly is losing ammonia. Ammonia is a very volatile and pungent gas and might be known by its peculiar scent, which is freely given off by close, ill-ventilated horse stables, or by the coat of ill-cleaned horses. But it is Dot often that this pecu liar scent escapes from manure heaps; on the contrary it is a more disagreeable odor, similar to that of rotten eggs. This is sulphurated hydrogen, and not ammonia, and occasions no loss to manure except the sulphur. If, in inakiQg a mauure pile, some plaster is mixed iu the heap, all the ammonia will be caught aud held by it,and all the water contained in the manure will also contain a large quantity (700 times its bulk) of it, and will uot give it off at a heat that can be raised iu a manure pile. If the manure is left to heat aud get dry anil "fire fang" or slowly burn to a white, dry, light stuff, then the ammonia is lost and the manure seriously injured. UNLOOKBD FOR DEFBCIS. —Many horses go through a fair training as colts, bidding fair to become so toughened as to be proof against injury by any amount of road or track wolk, when suddenly, alter having arrived at a useful age, a damaging defect appears, entirely without warning, and the animal, thenceforward, is entirely worth less for hard driving o* any kind. What ever the defect may have been, if all the oeanngs could be got at, it would general ly be found that there was an hereditary tendency to that particular trouble, either through peculiarity of the anatomical structure of the part, or through certain tendencies wmch cannot be seen or felt, but which, nevertheless, exist. These show themselves in the peculiar gait of animals, which oy no mode of reasoning can be explained by peculiarities of forma tion. The habit of pawing, when in the stall or out of it, of putting the bedding out at the rear of the stall, lying upon the plank, and many other peculiarities that are entirely unexplainable, but aie trans mitted. THERE is another feature butter makers will do well to take into consideration, and that is the rapid and steady increase in cows, especially in the northwestern States. According to the ratio of increaee trom 1870 to 1880 Minnesota will have 12 per cent, more cows this year than last; lowa 13 per cent.; Wisconsin 6 per cent.; Illinois 4 per cent. But it is well under stood that this ratio will be greatly increas ed by the extraordinary impetus which dairying has received in the past three years. The fact th&r so large a number of heifers has been retained by the farmers for cows, instead ot disposing of them for slaughter, is one reason for the short sup ply of beef. THE uncommonly large number of in sects injurious to vegetation, which did so much to destroy the last season's crops, was not in consequence of an open winter, but followed a very severe season. The larvae of these insects were protected by the snow. An open winter will cause the destruction of millions of these pests. They remain near the surface where they can be fed off by the birds. FATTENING CALVES. —A sensible practi cal farmer says that he has often noticed that calves would thrive better on milK that is not rich in milk. The nutritive elements of milk leside chietly in the ca serne. If you have a cow that gives parti cularly rich milk and one that gives a quantity poorer in butter, it is better to feed on milk ol the latter. The calf wili thrive better.and you will get more butter from the milk of the first cow, CHARCOAL FOR CATTLE. —Charc/.al pul verized and mixed with water is now high ly recommended as an agent lor relieving cattle suffering from any derangement of the stomach, such as bloat or hoven, etc. This should be remembered. There is no doubt of its efficacy, if abundance of con current testimony can be relied upon. KANSAS is making rapid strides in the dairy business this year, having a large creamery at Stockton, operated onthegath ered creamery system. A sample of butter from this creamery was shown on the El gin Board of Trade, and was pronounced to be ot good quality. Before the close of the year a number of others will be in operation, in sections where dairying has heretofore been considered impracticable.

CHICKEN PUDIHWG. —Cut up as for fricassee and parboil, seasoning well with pepper, salt and a lump of butter, size of an egg, to each chicken. The fowl should bo voting uiul tender, and divided at every joint.—Stew slowly for half an hour, take them out, and lay them ou a flat dish to cool; set aside the water iu which ihoy were stewed for your gravy. Make a hatter of one quart of milk, tlireo cups flour, three table spoons melted butter, oue-lialf teaspoon soda and one spoouful cream tartar, four eggs, well beaten, and a little salt. Put a layer of chicken in the bottom of the* dish, and pour about one-half cupful of batter over it, enough to conceal the meat; theu another layer of chicken ami more batter, till the dish is full. The batter must form the crust. Bane one hour iu a moderate oven. Beat up an egg and stir into the gravy which was wet aside. Thicken with tw o teaspoon fuls flour, boil up and send to table in a gravy dish. To BROIL RICE PROPERLY. —To every cup *f rice add one quart of water; salt to taste. Let the water noil hard; then throw iu rice previously well washed; when it begins to boil do not allow it to be stirred, and boil twenty minutes, not toueliiug it; pour off' any water remain ing, place the saucepan on back of range, partially covered, for a few min utes; when turned out into the dish for the table, eaeli graiu will be found sep arate. The rice should steam on back of range until it appears dry ou top, then shaken ont into the dish, not re moved with the spoon. To CURE BEEF TONGUES. —For a doz en tongues, make a brine stroug enough to bear up an egg; add a pint of molas ses and three or four red peppers; bring to the boiling point, skim and let oool; pack the tongues iu a large jar, and when the brine is cold pour it over them; put on a weight to keep them under and let it remain ten or twelve days; then take out, drain and hang to smoke for two or three days; dry moderately and put away iu paper sacks. When wanted for the table, boil live or six hours, or until tender; let cool in the liquor in which they were boiled ; skin and serve in slices as thin as a wafer. W ATRRMT.LON SHERBET—A BKNGAX.
