Proper Time to Kal Fruit. The proper time to eat fruit is in connection with meiils, especially at breakfast and dinner. It should bo supplied in generous measure with those two repasts, cither in its natural state or simply cooked. In either of those ways it will he found easy of di gestion, agreeable to the system, a corrective of many demoralized condi tions and most highly relished by all appetites of normal condition. There lms come into vogue of late years what may be penned almost a fail for the production of strangely compounded things, in the form of sauces and re lishes of one name and another, of which fruits form the foundation, but which are so disguised by the addition ut' spicings and other foreign ingre dients that the original fruit is practi cally lost to sight and taste. Jjet it be understood, once for all, that these tilings are no longer truits, and are not to be considered such, and can in no manner or degree yield the benefi cial results to be derived from the use <'( fruit. —Good Housekeeping.

Put away again for twenty-four hours in a warm place. After this dissolve four ounces alum, eight ounces saltand two ounces srtleratns in sufficient hot rainwater to saturate the skin ; then wring out and hang it up to dry.

SHADE Fon STOCK. Stock of all kinds are not unlike I mankind in some respects, and seek ' the shade whenever possible during theextreme hoatof summer. Togratify this desire, shade should be provided wherever practicable, and tho cheap est manner of doing this is through tho medium of shade trees. One or two should be set out in each pasture, and be protected by a fence uutil thor oughly established. If the lleld be tilled, set tho trees along the south side, selecting those of rapid growth and spreading branches. If they bo fruit trees, they should be trimmed to a height of at least seven feet, and then allowed to branch out. Whilo the trees are growing, it would be simply humane to provide a temporary shelter of some kind, Riich as setting a few posts, aud covering with poles, upon j which ai'e thrown branches of ever- | greens, or even limbs of oak or other 1 trees in full leaf. This will afford a I useful shelter, nud if located upon a j knoll or other naturally poor jrortion i of the tield, it will thoroughly enrich i tho soil. By changing its position yearly, various portions of the tield will be benefited. All this takes but a little time, andean be done when other work is not pressing. By boarding up, ! lato in tho summer, tho side from | which tlw prevailing winds blow, a fair | protection trom the chilling blasts will he obtained, and the stock will return you tho cost, American Agriculturist. POULTRY ADVICE. As the result of experiments at the Central Experiment Farm, in Canada, the following conclusions have been urrived at : Select the best layers for the winter pens. Supply thi' layers with bones, oyster shells and vegetables. Kill tin! drones, for they eat the pr>illt made by tho good layers. (iet out as many ehiekeus ON possible iu time for the eurlv grass. When properly managed, poultry and small fruits are said to be a paying combination. Keep the layers, if possible, in it tem perature wheri- the drinkiug water will not freeze. With proper cure the cockerels nhould be tit for market iu three t i four months und the pullets Iwcunu layers in five to six months. The laving stock should lie supplied iu winter with nil the material neces mry for uiakiux the uggs. The best layers will generally bo fouud t<> be the mont active ones. The llluek Miuoreas are rapidly com ing to the fore as winter layers.

Of all the vogetables corn is the most universally welcomed. Here are a few recipes showing the different ways it may bo propnred : Green Corn Fritters—Cut through each row of kernels with a sharp knife. Then with the back of the knife press out the pulp and leave the hull on the cob. This is better and easier than to shave or grate off tho kernels. To one pint of corn pulp add two well-beaten eggs, liulf a teaspoonful of salt, half a Baltspoonful of pepper and two table spoonfuls of flour, or just enough to keep the corn anil egg together. Do not add milk, as then moro tlour will bo required, and this destroys tho flavor of tho corn. Fry In small cakes on a buttered griddle and brown well ou each side, or add moro flour and ilrop liy spoonfuls iuto deep fat. When highly seasoned with salt and pepper these fritters have tho flavor of oys ters. 1 toiled Green Corn—Choose young sugar-corn, full grown, but not hard ; test with the nail. When tin- grain is pierced the milk should escape in a jet and uot bo thick. Clean by strip ping off tho outer leaves, turn back the innermost covering carefully, pick off every thread of silk and recover the ear with the thin husk that grew nearest it. Tie at the top with a bit of thread, put into boiling water salted and cook fast from twenty minutes to half an hour, iu proportion to si/.e and age. Cut off the stalks close to the cob and send whole to tho table wrapped iu a napkin. Corn Soup rake one large fowl, or four pounds of veal (the knuckles or neck will do) ; put over the tire iu one (gallon of cold water, without salt; cover tightly and -ininior slowly until the meat will slip from the bones, not allowing it to boil all the strength out as the meat can be made into a nice disli for breakfast by reserving a cup ful of the liquor to put with it iu a ininee on toast, or a stew. Strain tho soup to remove all houes and bits of meat. Grate one dozen ears of green corn, scraping cobs to remove the heart of the kernel. Add corn to the Koup. with salt, pepper and a little parsley, aud simmer slowly half an hour. Just before serving add a table- Kpoonful of tlour, beaten very thor oughly with a tablespoonfiil of butter. Serve Very hot. Corn aud Tomatoes Take equal quant it if of groeu corn cut from the cob and tomatoes slice I aud peele I. Stew together half an hour, season with pepper, salt and a very little sugar.

The jelly-fish lays thousaiids of tiny I eggs, which, being covered with nat ural oars in the shape of numerous hairs, row themselves into some quiet hi ace and settle down to await further I developments. These do not \ turn to jelly-tisli any more than the | butterfly's eggs turn to a butterfly, j First the stein springs from each anil j then the stem subdivides into numor- | oils branches, each brancn being cov ered with tiny cups, the mouth of each surrounded with small arms technically called "tentacles." This is the tirst j stage of tlif jelly-fish's life. Nov, j comes the wouderful part of the story. As the warm weather advances this stein, whieli grew from the- original Ogg and branched out like a vegetable growth, begins to bud and from | bud a minute speck of animal life . springs forth it is the young jelly fish swimming out to test the doctrine | .if "survival of the Attest," and to do battle with the innumerable other j forms of organised beings.—St. Louis !

Small, which arrived at Province town, Mass., from n whaling voyage, tells a wonderful talc of adventure and narrow escape. He says: "We raised u school of large whales on Hatteras grounds. Just as I was raising my laucc to dart at alßo-barrel bull sperm whale which the mato hud struck, tho whale suddenly milled around, swung his open jaw and bit off three feet of the vessel's boat in which I stood, as you see it, coming within about thrco inches of my left foot. "All hands jumped overboard, or were knocked out by the concussion. Four of the men got upon the bottom of the stove boat and were taken oft' by the vessel. Myself and the rest got into the mate's boat and renewed the attack, pulling up to him, but finally losing him by the parting of tho chain with which we had fastened him to the vessel's head." Dlfi.
