FARM AND GARDEN.
GROWING PECAN NUTS. —It iscertain
]J R to DC regretted that our people eau
uot more fully appreciate the pecan as
a crop to be cultivated. Thousands
upon thousands of well-arranged and
carefully cultivated groves ought now
to ho coming 011 ill all parts of the low
er Mississippi valley; yet, strange as it
may seem, they are just about as few
and far between as angels' visits.
Why ? I cannot tell, unless it is mere
ly another case of the "prophet in his
own country," the pecan being "only
a wild tree," you know. Possibly we
would ail have English walnuts, would
they grow with us as readily as does
the pecan, and yet there is always a de
mand for the fruit of the pecan, and it
is really more proti table than that of the
English walnut. Wc ought to put out
pecan trees. Neglecting to do so may
bo wronging ourselves, and it is un
doubtedly wronging the generation to
come after us. There can be no doubt
of the faet that the man who leaves to
his posterity a flourishing grove of pe
can trees, leaves them a legacy almost
as good as a gold mine. That is what
they say concerning the olive groves
in the Old World, and a pecan grove,
properly cared for. would be worth, all
tilings considered, just about as much
as an olive grove of the same site.
The pecan starts readily from seed:
most of the nuts ottered for sale in the
shops will germinate promptly if care
fully plauted, It likes low. rich, bot
tom land, not permanently wet, though
it will do very well on uplands and in
soil of almost any character. In a
word, any soil that will sustain an ap
ple or a peach orchard, will do for the
pecan; and it is a tree of much wider
range than is generally supposed. 1
have seen as flue pecans growing in
the woods along the Mississippi river,
one hundred miles above St. Louis, as
ever grew in the State of Texas.
PEAR BLIGHT. —The cause of pear
blight and its cure is given by the
Gardener's Monthly as follows: "It has
been shown by careful microscopic ex
amination in its earliest stages that the
disease is caused by a minute fungus
which develops in the bark and pene
trates inwardly, destroying the cell
structure as it proceeds. The fungus
is so small that the distinguished inves
tigator, Dr. J, Gibbons Hunt, under a
powerful microscope, could not dis
tinguish the species; but this is of 110
consequence. This being the cause of
the disease, the preventive is obvious.
Any one who is in a neighborhood lia
ble to blight can have immunity by
washing bis trees annually with lin>
seed oii. sulphur wash or other tniugs
that will kill a fungoid spore without
injury t the bark. Of course spores
may get into a crevice where the w ash
es cannot reach, and hence there may
be some eases where, even though lire
trees be washed, there will be disease,
has been so clearly demonstrated and
the remedy so patent, that cases of 'lire
blight' only prove ignorance or ne
glect."
COMPOST heaps maj- be made of muck
or earth lor a basis; to this may be ad
ded leaves, cotton-seed, ashes, gyps urn,
nigkt-soil, stable manure, trash irom
the fields (except weeds 111 seed), and
all the slops from the houses and cabins.
Plenty of water should be added. By
turning the heap the compost will be
flue enough to use in the hill for corn.
IT desired, bone dust may be added,
but tine artificial fertilizers will be bet
ter if used by themselves.
To TELL A HORSES AGE. —Alter a
horse is nine years old a wrinkle comes
to the eyelid, at the upper corner of he
lower lid, and every year thereafter he
has one well denned wrinkle for each
year of his age over nine. It, tor in
stance, a horse has three wrinkles'lie is
twelve; it four, thirteen. Add the
number of wrinkles to nine and you
will always get it.
Arctic Areauiaiu*.
Atout 250 years ago theTsehuktschi
were distinguished as gallant warri
ors. The discoverers have gathered a
valuable assortment of the arms and
armor of that period. Many of these
implements are preserved among the
families, whose habits are no longer
aggressive. Very noticeable are curi
osities, carefully wrought out of mam
moth ivory and fashioned with a re
markable resemblance to the old Roman
panoply. Their spears and bows are
made of whale-bone, wood and ivory,
spliced and bound with the sinews of
the reindeer, and showing an advanced
perception of anisic ornamentation
on the part of the makers. One hun
dred and fifty years ago the famous
Russian, Col. PauJovski, commanded an
expedition sent against them from Sibe
rian settlements. In his first engage
ment with tnem he was badly worsted,
lie subsequently defeated them but
with heavy loss to his own troops, and
has recorded much such a tribute to
their valor as Pyrrhus bestowed upon
the Italiou legions which lie ovenan.
strangely enough, they have no gover
nicnt, no laws, and almost no religion,
if any. A Russian Starost is their
nominal ruler, but has neither author
ity nor influence. Very little foreign
clothing i 3 employed by them, their
vestments being almost exclusively of
skin. The nation probably numbers
10,000 souls ot whom one-half inhabit
the littoral between Tschaun Bay and
Behring Strait ard the other half
dwell in the interior of the country.
On the whole it is impossible to ima
gine a more Arcadian race, though no
philosopher has yet expected to discov
er Arcadia so near the North pole. A
people without c&iefs and without
criminals, experiencing no difficulty in
the distribution of the product of their
joint exertions in fishing and hunting,
whose sole sign of pride of wealth or
fancy is the possession of a boat a lit
tle larger than ordinary, may well de
serve the respect they have earned from
Nordenßkjold and his party and prove
lifting subjects for further ethnological
study.
A Word to Workers.
If your avocations are mentally or physicall;
laborious, if they subject you to exposure it
inclement weather, if they confine you to the
desk aud are of a nature to involve wear anc
tear oi brain, and nervous s'rain, you may oc
casionally require some renovating tonic. Hos
tet er's stomach Difct- rs is the article for you:
it stimulates the failing energies, invigorates
the body and cheers the mind. It enables the
system to throw off the debilitating effects of
undue fatigue, gives renewed vigor to the or
gans t f digestion, arouses the liver when ifi
ne ive, which it veiy often is with people
ulrose pursuits are sedentary, renews the
jadtd appetite, and encourages healthful re
pose. its ingredients are sale, and its cre
dent als. which consist in the hearty endorse
ment of persons of every class of society, are
most conv.ucing. Admirablv is it adap ed to
the medical wants ol' workers.
DOMESTIC.
SOMEBWEET SAUCES. —1 rather think
pudding sauces are English rather
than French, as French cooks, at least
such as I have seen, rarely go in for
much sweetening. It's very much of
a mistake to make a pudding sauce too
greasy or pasty, llore is a fair receipt
tor a sauce good for puddings: 1. Grate
half the rind of a lemon, and add to it
an ounce and a half of white sugar and
two tablespoonsfuls of water, and let it
simmer for ten minutes; take an ounce
of butter and wash it thoroughly in
fresh water, changing the water twice;
mix that with not more than a half tea
spoonful of flour (more flour than that
spoils it); stir that Into the sugar and
lemon and let it. boil, but not for a
longer time than two minutes; when it
is cooling put in a tcaspoonful of lemon
juice and a wineglassful of Medeira. 1
think the sumo quantity of good, sound
rod wine is just as good. Warm it all
gently once more. If you boil it after
wine is put in the flavor of the wine
goes off. Tills is for fancy, delicate
puddings. Sauce No. :2 for dumplings
—This is a rough-and-tumble kind of
sauce and goes with duff or almost any
thing. Equal parts of brown sugar and
butter well mixed up, into which you
have put the yolk of an egg. Put it
over a light lire and keep stirring it all
the time, letting it simmer but not al
lowing it to boil, -lust before serving
it add a piucli of cinnamon to it and a
iittle grated nutmeg. So. 3, liard sauce
—Duo ounce of butter and a quarter of
a pound of brown sugar (white sugar is
not good), beat it up to a cream and add
a tablespoonful of brandy and some
nutmeg. _
THE ladies sing "in the sweet 'buy'
and'buy' we will meet in that beauti
ful store," and we certainly can raise
no objection. Hut remember the little
ones at homo and do not leave the nurse
without a bottle of Dr. Bull's Baby
Syrup.
EXCELLENT GLYCERINE OIN I MKXT. —
A very good perparation of glycerine to
have always 011 hand, can be readily
prepared by any apothecary or drug
gist : In twoounces of Sweet Oil of Al
monds melt, by a slow heat, half an
ounce of Bpermaeetti, and one drachm
of White Wax. Then add one ounce of
good Glycerine stirring until cold.
When cold, scent it br stirring in well
a little Oil of Roses. Keep in small jars
or small wide-necked bottles. In hot
weather keepclosely corked, as it some
times gets a little rancid ii long exposed
to warmth. Half or a fourth of the
above quantities may be used. Every
drug store should keep ajar of it, and
recommend its use. It is excellent lor
softening the skin, for most injured
skin surfaces that are not open sores;*
for chafed places, for moistening corns
or eallused feet or toes, and especially
for chapped face. Hps, or hands. When
tiehamfsare chapped or cracked, or
roughened by cold, wash them ciean
with soap, and nip them well with this
glycerine ointment, wiping it off
enough to prevent soiling clothing. If
this is done at night, the hands will he
sost and in good condition is flic morn
ing, except when deeply cracked. It
is very good to apply to the hands after
"washing-day " This is an excellent
preparation to use by those atllicted
witn the distressing trouble known as
luemorrhoids or piles.
BAR SOAP. —Six pounds soda ash.
three pounds unslacked lime, eight
gallons water; put into a kettle when
bailing hot, strain and return to the
kettle; add twelve pounds ot clean
grease; boil slowly three hours; add
one-half pound finely pulverized borax,
dissolved in a little hot water, stir well
and let cool in the kettle or turn into
wooilen molds well soaked ir. water.
Cracklings or meat trimmings will do
for this soap ii allowed for waste, but
be careful not to allow too much, there
by getting too much grease in.
OPIUM is the most dangerous drug,
especially when given to children in
the stiape of a soothing remedy. Dr.
Bull's l>abv Syrup is warranted not to
contain opium in any form and is the
most innocent and efficacious remedy
for children teething. Price 25 cents a
bottle.
FOAM SAUCE. —One teacup white
sugar, three-fourths of a cup butter,
one tablespoon flour, on® egg beaten
together; then place over the fire and
stir in rapidly three gills of sweet
milk, and season with nutmeg.
About Carpet-Sweeplug
.Sweeping is a good exercise if you
can avoid raising a dust, but if you aro
in need of vigorous exercise of that
kind, get a hoe and betake yourself to
the potato-patch or corn-field. Sweep
carpets gently. Even a rag-carpet
should be treated with consideration.
A severe digging with a still' broom
wears the warp and scrapes out the lint
or tilling quite needlessly. Not long
ago I heard a woman say that a still
broom was needed to sweep a Brussels
carpet. I thought to mysell "a slili
broom will never do to sweep my Brus
sels carpets "(good reason why !) TJS I
imagined the tearing out of the soft
tufting of the carpet by the course,
sharp broom splints. A carpet sweep
er is the best thing for this purpose.
It does the work easily and well, and
saves dust. A'.brush of hair and dust
pan are good to use for the nicest car
pets, but their use is too laborious for
recommendation to a busy house-keep
er. If a common broom corn broom
must be used for Brussels, it should be
tine, soft, light and clean. To sweep
up threads, ravelings, and other line
litter, many poisons wot the broom in
clean tepid water, shaking out the
water before? sweeping with it, just
keeping the broom moist enough to
wipe up the fine dust and threads,
rinsing in clean water and shaking U
frequently as the work progresses.
Brussels carpets are not suitable for
rooms where sewing and baby culture is
going forward. lu providing carpets
for any room, reason would dictate
that they be such as may be easily kept
clean; not sowdark as to show every
dust and thread, nor so light as to be
very easily soiled. Something that will
either let the dust sift through or re
tain it on the surface, rather than in the
carpet itself, when it is used in rooms
where dust is made.

HUMOROUS.
W u EN you begin a sensational novel
never weep over the troubles of the
heroine. In the very first chapter she
may bo abducted by a black-hearted
villain and be threatened with instant
death 011 every other page and swallow
a pint of strychine in the middle of the
hook, but she will conic out all right in
t he last chapter and marry Claude Edgar
Fitzclarence Montmoreuci, who turns
out to be another man's son and falls
heir to $2,000,000 by Ihe death of an
uncle in Australia, who went there a
year previous a poor man ; and the girl's
father, who wanted her to marry the
villain, w ill put his hands on their
heads and say, "Hless you, my chil
dren;" ami the villain aforesaid will
look daggers and things at them and
grit his teeth as he moves off handcuff

turns out that way.

A LEARNED doctor of Germany has
discovered a means of dyeing human
eyes any color he likes. He calls it
"Ocular Transmuratiou. He 'can not
only give fair ladies eyes as black as
night or as blue as the azure, heavens,
but he can change them to the hue ot
silver or ot gold with advantage to the
sight. Ladies can now have eyes to
match their red—we mean auburn hair.
The doctor's terms for coloring a pair
of eyes are not stated; but if a man
wants his optics change! to a black and
blue hue, he will probabiy find it
cheaper to call a man bigger than him
self a liar. The ocular transmutation
process, however, doe>n't improve the
sight. Rather otherwise.

States, put chased and succeeded to the
business ot Messrs. Lee it Walker, at
that time the largest publishers south

& Co., have continued at the same lo
cation (No. 022 Chestnut street), and
so rapid has been the growth of their
business that they have recently aug

alone comprises 4800 music plates), and
whoso old place of business, No. 1225
Chestnut street, will be, .January Ist,
the base of operations of Messrs. liitsou
& Co. Alterations to meet the require
ments of their vast business are now in
progress, and all the Indications point
[oits becoming one of the most attrac
tive stores on Chestnut street. To
briefly outline the scope of the altera
tions, we will state that the flrnt floor
will be devoted to their retail trade;
the basement, to hook stock; the sec

;where their present gratifyingly

. Out meal.
Gatmeal is a food of great strength
and nutrition, having claims to be bet
ter known ami more widely used than
it is at present. Of much service as a
bra,n food, it contains phosphorus
enough to keep a man doing an ordi
nary amount of brain work in good
health and vigor. All medieal author
ities unite in the opinion thai eateu
with milk, it is a perfect food, and,
having all the requisites for the proper
development of the system, it is a pre
eminently useful lood for growing
children and the young generally. Gat
meal requires much cooking to effec
tually burst its starch cells, but when
it is well cooked it will thicken liquid
much more than equal iis weight in
w beaten lluur. The oats of this coun
try uro superior to those grown 011 the
Coiulnent and the southern parts of
England, but certainly inferior to the
Scotch, whore considerable pains is
taken to cultivate them, and it is need
loss to point out that the Scotch are an
example of a strong and thoroughly ro
bust nation, which result is justly set
down as being derived from the pleh
tilul use of oatmeal. I>r. Guthrie lias
asserted that his countrymen have the
largest heads of any cation in the world
—not even the English have such large
heads—which he attributes to the uni
versal use of oatmeal; as universal it
k, being found aiike on the tables ot
the rich and on the tables of the poor
—in the morning the porridge and in
the evening the traditional cake. The
two urineipal ways of cooking oatmeal
are porridge and cake (bannock),which
1 will describe, and also some other
modes of cooking, in order to all'ord an
agreeable variety of dishes. First,
then, we will commence with a receipt
lor porridge. To three pints of boi.-
ing water add a level tcaspoontul of
salt and a pint of coarse meal, stirring
while it is being slowly poured in;
continue stirring until the meal is dii
fused through the water —about eight
or ten minutes. Cover it closely then,
and place it where it will siuihicr for
an hour; avoid stirring during the
whole of that time, Srve hot, with as
iittle messing as possible, accompanied
with milk, maple syrup or sugar and
cream. To make oatmeal cake, place
in a bowl a quart of meal, add to it as
much cold water as will form it into u
soft, light dough, cover it with a cloth
fifteen minutes to allow it to swell,
then dust the pasteboard with meal,
turn out the dough and give it a vigor
ous kneading. Cover it with the cloth
a few minutes, and proceed at once to
roll it out to the eighth of an inch in
thickness; cut it in live pieces and part
ly cook them on a griddle, then finish
them by toasting them in front of the
lire.

A GRATEFUL RECOGNITION.
"To cure a CHRONIC or LONG STANDING DDKASH
Is truly a victory in the healing art; that reason
ing power that clearly discerns DRFROT and sup
plies a remedy; that restores step by step—by
degrees—the body which has been slowlv at
tacked and weakened by nn Insidious disease,
not only commands our respect but deserves
our grail'ude. Dr. Radway has furnished man
kind with that wonderful remedy, Bodway*s
Narnnp,trillion Resolvent which accom
plishes this result, and suffering humanity,
who drag out an existence of pain and disease,
through long days and long nights, owe Mm
their gratitude. "—Jit, icl Mtat?ng*r.
FALSE AND TRUE.
We extract from Dr. Rj/lway's "T eatlse on
disease and Its Cure," as follows:
List or Disease* Cared by
Radway's Sarsaparillian Resolyent.
Chronic Skin Diseases, Carles of the Bone,
Humors In the Blood, Scrofulous Dlse ses. Bivd
or unnatural Habit or Body, Syphilis and Vene
real, Fever Sores. Chronic or old Ulcers, Salt
Rheum, Rickets, White swelling. Sral i IIed,
Uterine Affections. Cankers, Glandular swell
ings. Nodes. Wasting and Dec-ty of the Body,
Pimples nnd Blotches Tumors, Dyspepsia. Kid
ney ad Bladder Diseases, chronic Ith umatlstn
and Goui, Consumption, Gravel and Calculous
Deposits, and varieties of the above complaints
to which sometimes are given specious names.
We assert that there Is no known remedy that
possesses the curative power over these dis
eases th t RAIIWAY'S RESOLVENT furnishes. It
cures stop by step surely, from the founda
tion, and restores the Injured parts to their
sound condition. Thf waatenof the body
ore stopped and healthy blood Is sap
plied to the system, from which new ma
i-rlal 1-formed. This is the flsst corrective
p wer of RADWAT'S RESOLVENT In cases where
the system has been salivated and Mercury,
Ciutckdiver, Corrosive Sublimate have accumu
lated and become deposited in the bones, Joints,
eic.. causing carles or the bones, ricke's. soln.il
curvatures, contortions, white swellings, vari
cose veins, etc.. the SAKSAFARILLIAN will resolve
away thoae deposits an I exterminate the virus
of the dtsease from the system. ft
If those who arc taking tlu se medicine* for
the cure of Chromic. Bcronilous or Syphilitic dis
eases. however slow may b* the cure, "reel bet
ter." and And their general health Improving,
their fle<h and weight Increasing, or even keep
ing Its own, ts a sure sign that the cure Is pro
gressing# In these diseases the patient either
get-t better or worse—the virus of the disease
fs not inactive; if not arrested and driven from
the blood It wtll spread and continue to under
mine t,be constitution. As soon as the SARSA
rAR I.LIAN makes the patient' feelbeter,"eveiy
hour you will grow better and increase In health,
streugth and flesh.
OVARIAN TUMORS.

CAUTION.
All remedial agents capable of destroying life
by an overdo-e should be avoided. Morphine,
