Is imparted to the kidneys and bladder by
Hostetter's Bitters which is most useful in
overcoming torpid'ty of those organs. Besides
iniu-ing more activity into them, this excel
lent tonic endows them with additional vigor
and enables them the better to undergo the
wear and tear of the discharging functiou im
posed upon them by nature. Moreover, as
thev are the channel for the escape of certain
impurities from the blood, it increases their
usefulness by strengthening and healthfully
stimulating them. In certain morbid condi
tions ot these imp* rtant organs, they fall into
a sluggish state, which is the usual precursor
of dist ase. What then can be of greater ser
vice thn a medicine which impels them to
greater activity woen slothful ? No maladies
are more perilous than those which affect the
k dnevs : and a mediciue which averts the
peril should be highly esteemed.
Tnnnlted Butter.
The use of uusalted butter is on the
increase in this country, and a process
has recently been invented in England
by which butier of this kind can be
kept certainly for months, and possibly
for years, without apparent deteriora
tion. An experiment made proved
that fresh butter when treated with
this preservative con id remain exposed
to the action of the air for three
months, and at the end of that time it
was hardly possible to detect the dif
ference between it and the newly made
article. Some experts at butter tast
ing, it is said, thought that it lacked
something of the arouia which butter
fresh from the dairy possesses, and
that an exceedingly slight trace ot
salt lu it would Impart to it more char
acter. But lor all practical purposes
the article, at the end of three months,
was as good as at the beginning, al
though under ordinary conditions it
would have been considered unfit for
eating at the end ot ten days. The
"preparation," as it is called, by the
u*e of which this result is obtained is
ht present a secret, it is an odorless,
tasteless and harmless antiseptic, and
has also the merit of exceeding cheap
ness; so much so that the quantity
needed to preserve a pound of butter
costs in England about half a penny.
It is worked into the butter directly
after churning, and then all that is re
quired is that the manufactured arti
cle should be kept in a tolerably cool
place. The change which this discov
ery promises to bring about can hardly
fail to be an important one, as it will
tend the cost of the best ta
ble butter during the entire year.
Hitherto, in the winter months, ths
price ot even mildly-salted butter liae
been high, for the reason that made in
the summer for winter consumption, it
could only be kept pure by the admix
ture of a large quantity ot salt. The
same is true of what is known as cook
lug butter, which, as it is frequently
made in a hurried and imperfect man
ner, is only checked from early putre
faction by the excessive use of a saline
preservative. Now, it salt Is no long
er neeeseery, butter may be good or
poor, but in either case its merits or
faults will not need to be disguised un
der a covering of salt. It is also in
timated that the same preparation can
be applied to the preserving of fresh
meat, and if this proves to be true, its
effect upon the trade and dietory cus
toms of the world would make the dis
covery one of the most important of
the present century.
FgTptiaH Feasants.
Large in stature, and remarkable for
his statuesque beauty, she appearance
of the fellah is very striking. He has
the true oval head peculiar to the Arab
type; brilliant eyes, slanting up to
wards the outer angles; a well shaped
mouth with the lips slightly project
ing, and s.ujerb teeth; a well-formed
aquiline nose, with the nostrils large
and open like those of the negro; a
small chin and rather thin heard . His
complexion varies with the region of
his abode, being darker towards the
South. In the Delta he is of a light
bronze, and in the Upper Egypt quite
black. His cotton shirt is the only
garment he indulges in; but, falling
in graceful folds about his fine figure,
he wears it with no less dignity than if
It were a Boman toga. Degraded by
slavery and his constant practice in
taking alms, the fellah can scarcely be
regarded as a responsible moral being.
Indolent and a fatalist, he never works
except when forced to do so by abso
lute necessity. There is but one thing
that he cares for—repose ; he has but
one occupation—beggary. The blue
chemise of the fellahines, falling from
the shoulders to a little above the ankle,
and open at the breast, is decidedly
picturesque. The veil which they wear
is also blue; it is thrown over the head
and falls about them in ample folds.
Sometimes, when they want to hide
their faces, they catch hold of this flut
tering blue banner with their beautiful
teeth, and partially effect their object.
The fellahines are sometimes tattooed
upon forehead and chin, and they dye
their nails with henna. In the coun
try you often meet them unveiled ; and
I have sometimes seen a great beauty
among them, preserving so astonish
ingly the Egyptian type that you feel
as if you were looking at one of the old
sculptures of Athos, or of Isis awakened
to life. But really to appreciate the
grace of the fellahine, you must see
her returning from the r'ver with a
jug of water on her head. Her bare
arms bent back to hold her burden, her
garment draped about her body like a
Greek tunic, and falling in numerous
folds, straight and clinging—she walks
proudly forward with a slow and meas
ured step. Like that of the master
pieces of antiquity, her expression is
grave, serene, and harmonious; and in
her grand and simple posts she emulates
the basket-bearers of the saored proces
sions. In the greatest works of art we
do not find more dignity and grace than
is sometimes displayed by these peas
ants of the Nile valley.

AGRICULTURE.
FAMILIARITY OF CATTLE WITH CHIL
DREN. —We do not hear of ail the chil
dren who arc injured or killed by
vicious cattle. It is a terrible thing to
see a young half-broken cow chase a
child outot a pasture if the escape lie
a narrow one; but how indefinitely
worse is it to have her overtake the lit
tle one and toss or gore it. The child's
fright often causes it to taint, which is
a great relief and often a matter of saf
ety, for the animal quickly sees that
there is no danger to her from such a
ore. Cows and young stock in this
country are usually familiar with men
tolks, while they see little of women
and children—hence they fear and de
lend themselves from them just as they
would from dogs. In the same way
many a horse lias been fatally gored by
a cow or heifer, simply because the
latter had never been made familiar
with horses. My horses are grazed
more or less in the calf pasture, and so
the calves know the horses, old and
young, and as cows, are perteetly quiet
with them, if this is important, and I
think it is, it is ten times inure impor
tant that the heiiors should grow up in
tamiliarity with women and children—
be driven and fed by thorn more or less,
and at calving time sec that children
may play with their calves without any
harm coining to them. If heifers pass
their tirst calving without getting
frightened and distrustful of men and
children, tliey will always thereafter
le quiet and tractable. The practice
of turning heiters and young stock out
in the mountain pastures fr the sum
mer. interferes with tills training, but
it should be followed all the more dili
gently in the winter. We can sell our
trained heifers and deliver them on
board cars, steamboat, or anywhere else
with whole skins, good horns, aid un
ruflled tempers, with a very little at
tention to tneir education at the proper
time.
FRENCH OUTLAY KOR AGRICULTURE.
—The French government lias appro
priated i'or agriculture for 1S:<0 the sum
oi 35,268,437 francs, of which 1,128,230
are lor veterinary schools ami public
services, 1,875,150 for agricultural edu
cation, and over 14,000,000 for the care
ot forests. In the matter of education
242,050 francs are appropriated for the
National Agricultural Institute, recent
ly established; the three agricultural
colleges at Grignon, Grand Jouan and
Moutpelier cost the nation 335,300
francs, tiiis being the excess of expen
ses over receipts; 1)0,700 francs are ap
propriated for the school of horticul
ture at Versailles, 554,400 for practical
schools of agriculture and farm schools
throughout the winter, the school of
drainage and irrigation, and the school
of sheep husbandry, and 43,000 francs
tor the experiment stations, twenty-live
in number, of which 16,407 are given
to the station for silk culture, 10,000 to
the station for silk culture, 10,000 to
the station at Vlneennes under the euro
ot George Ville, some of whose writ
ings are well knovvN in this country,
and sums varying from 500 to 6 000
francs to each of the others, except 'he
very important one at Nancy, under
Graudeau, which requires no govern
ment aid; 120,000 francs are appropri
at d for the so-called ehaire of agricul
ture, of which there is one for each of
the eighty-nine departments. The
professors who occupy these chairs are
appointed after examination by a com
petent committee, and it is their duty
to lecture on agriculture at the primary
institutions for public instruction, and
at the agricultural meetings through
out their respective departments.
Within the past year a law has been
passed providing for the establishment
ot these professorships in all depart
ments not already provided with them.
The government shows a just apprecia
tion of the importance of its agricultur
al interests in thus providing for the
diffusion of agricultural knowledge
throughout all ranks of the people.
RAT-PROOF CORE (JKIUS. —There are
not many farmers who do not lose
corn enough by rats every year to pay
the extra expense of making their crib
or cribs rat proof. Such is the general
dampness ot the ground that the floor
on which corn rests should be at least
three feet above the earth. Pillars of
this height above ground for crib sills
should have plates of zinc or sheet iron
extending six or eight inches on all
sides before the sills are put upon them.
Rats going up to the pillars (whether
wood, stone or brick) can not pass the
sheet iron or zinc, nor can they jump
three feet from the ground and lasten
themselves to the side of a crib. The
steps, by which one enwra the door of
the crib, should be taken away at all
times when not in use. In this way a
farmer eau easily keep rats from eating
and polluting his bread corn. Where
rata haye access to one's crib they mul
tiplj' rapidly, catch chickens, go to
dwelling houses and become a pertect
nuisance there also. All this evil is due,
in a large degree, to feeding and breed
ing rats at a corn crib. This is the
most unprofitable stock a farmer can
I raise.
TRUE economy, is not buying the low
est priced article. The best is cheapest.
So with Dobbins' Electric Soap, (made

and cheapest and we ask our readers to
test it for themselves.
CURIXG TOBACCO IN PENS. —Simply
plant a post or two sticks for the be
ginning and ending corners, and then
begin square pens, like making a fence,
leaving one side of each pen open as
high up as wanted, say ten or fifteen
rails, and then build up all sides as
high as wanted, putting in strong rails
lor tiers as you go, and cover with loose
boards with a few rails on top to hold
the boards in place. These pens can be
made almost as quick and cheap as scaf
i folds, and enough in one iine to house
a large field of tobacco. We have seen
very nne tobacco cured in such pens,
and then moved into the shed-barn for
safe keeping. It does not require
much tiring, is generally safe (we have
never known one to burn) and no house
burn. The pens being small, the tobac
co is not likeiy to be crowded so close
that the air will not pass through, and
a little smoke in the beginning will
canse the worms to drop off and start
the tobacco to yellowing beautiful if
ripe.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
ilkKtsTKAK.— The porterhouse and
tenderloin steaks are best. Of course
there is a great diflcienco in the cut of
these steaks. For a cheap steak, a good
cut of what Is called chuck-steak is
IK at. It has more flavor and juice, and
is more tender than the round steak,
costing the same price. Have the
choice steaks cut three-quarters of an
inch thick at least, greaso t"o gridiron
well, put on the steak, salted, over a
hot, clear lire, watch it constantly,
turning it whenever it gets a little
brown, I>o not stlek the tork into the
middle of thesteak, only into the sides,
where it will do the least harm by let
ting out the juice. It should be quite
rare or pink in the centre, though not
raw. When cooked enough, put it. on
a hot platter, sprinkle over plenty of
Silt and pepper, spread over the top
some sweet butter, set the platter in
the oven a few moments to let the but
ter soak a little Into the steak, then
serve immediately.
CHICKKN SAC TIC. —Singe, draw and
cut two tender chicken* ill quarters;
crack the main bones, flatten slightly,
and put in a sautoir with tour ounces
of melted butter, salt ami pepper;
cover, put on a brisk tire, and fry
lightly brown on both sides: drain
most of the butter oil. besprinkle with
halt an ounce ot silted flour, mingle
well, moisten with a pint of sweet
cream, stir the sautoir to dilute the
flour, cover, and boil ten minutes; dish
up the chiekcn,add two pats ef butter
and the juice of half a lemon to the
sauco, mingle well, pour over the
chicken, besprinkle with chopped
parsley and serve.
CAUSE AND EFFECT. —The main cause
of nervousness is indigestion, and that
is caused by weakness of the stomach.

LKMOII PlES.— Beat foui eggs very
light, add to them, gradually, a quarter
of a pound of fine sugar, whisk these
together lor a few minutes, strewing
lightly in one ouuee oi corn starch
tl ur; then stir in by degrees three
ounces of melted butter: beat the
whole wall together, and stir in the
juice ami grated yellow rind of one
large lemon Line your pie dish with
a good puft'paste rolled thin, fill thein
two thirds full of the mixture, and hake
for twenty minutes in a moderate
oven.
SNOWBALL PUDDING. —BoiI one quart
of rich milk, and then thicken it with
a tablespoonful of fiour or arrow-root.
Beat up the yolks of four eggs with
three tablespoon I ills of white sugar.
Then pour tlie milk slowly into the
eggs ami sugar, stirring all the time.

and brown it slightly. Beat up the
whites to a stiff froth, adding four ta
blespoonfuls of sugar, and flavoring
with leuiou. Drop it on the custard
(when browned) in the form of balls as
large as an egg. Set it back in the
stove to brown a little.
COCOANUT PROPS. —Take equal
weights of eocoanut grated and wuite
sugar: care must be taken not to grate
any of the brown part of the nut.
Beat the whites of eirgs to stiff froth
—there should be just enough to mois
ten the sugar and cocoanut, so that they
will be quite stiff. Drop the mixture
on to buttered plates. Make the drops
the size of a cent, and several inches
apart, and bake them in a mod era to
oven.
LEMON PUFFS.— Beat and si ft a pound
and a quarter of loaf sugar and mix
with it t le peel of tm o lemons grated;
whisk the whites of three eggs to a
firm froth, add it gradually to the su

DELICATE CAKK. —Take half a pound
of butter, one pound of sugar, one
pound of flour, half a pint of sweet
milk or water, four eggs. Beat the
butter and sugar to a cream, then add
the beaten eggs, then the milk or wa
ter, then the flour; mix thoroughly and
put the batter into your pan; sift fine
sugar over the top and bake immediate

VINEGAR FROM HONEY. —Dissolve
honey in water, iu the proportion of
four pounds to a gallon, and expose
the mixture to the greatest heat of the
sun, without closing wholly the bung
hole of the cask, which must be merely
covered with coarse linen, to prevent
the admission of insects. In about six
weeks the liquor becomes acid, and
changes to a very strong vinegar, of

ker, and wished me to give it a trial.
We churned one gallon of cream ac
cording to your directions in your let

ing result, time of churning 12 minutes
lbs., color good and quality far
better than anything that I have tried
previously. I have been engaged in
the dairy business more or leas 15 years.
Also took of the same cream, the same
time and from the same bulk, omitting
your powder, as per directions, with
the following result, time of churning
20 minutes, 3 pounds, quality inferior,
short of what is required in our mark
et. I would further say, I made a sec
ond trial with about the same result.
Truly yours,

A Trick of the ClHlrvojHUt*.
in druwing out the fucts of personal or
family history, clairvoyants do not always
ask direct questions, but rather make state
ments with an implied interrogation, to
which the victim, oftentimes entirely un
consciously, responds by word, look or ges
ture, or perhaps by all three; and ut a later
stage of the interview, these secret facts
are artfully given back to the victim, who
has no recollection of having previously im
parted them, and will not believe that he
lias done so, but prefers to pelieve that he
is in the presence of Divinity. It is not only
possible but easy for a practical adept to
draw out in this way minute and elaborate
details of secret family history. A few
years ago. while connected with one of the
public institutions of this county, I made a
number of experiments in this line. I told
the patients atllicted with various forms of
nervous and allied disorders, not to tell me
about their symptoms, nor give me any
facts in their cases, but to let me tell them;
and then 1 would proceed to indicate after
the manner of a clairvoyant, the locality
of their maladies, and the history of their
troubles. In the majority of cases I was
successful, and made out the diagnosis to
the satisfaction of those who sought my
advice, and with good reason, tor nothing
that I cotiid do prevented them from telling
me, although I asked them no questions,
unintentionally and unconsciously, they
would guide me at every stage of the inter
view. By a little practice auv one could
easily acquire this art; and lo study, such
as professional clairvoyants bestow upon
this subject developes great skill in thus
managing and deluding the unwary and
non-expert.
