AGRICULTURAL. WHAT class or kind of horses to raise is a question for men to decide for them selves. Individual taste in such matters sometimes should govern. Some men de light in the stylislt roadster, and another's idea of utility makes him admire the heavy breeds. The dratt horse is a necessity of the times, and the stylish stepper, the carriage horse and the tine saddle beast, will always be sought. If a mau's tastes are in the direction of heavy horses, he should select them as his specialty, rather than undertake to raise light and speedy stock; and if another sees his ideal iu the "thoroughbred" or blood horse, it is hardly to be supposed that he would take as much interest in raising draft stock as tie would in breeding and raising his favorite kind. The demand for horses embraces all breeds, and as a rule, it is wise to select that class for which a man has a piei'er ence. In a large majority of instances, however, a man may not be wedded to any particular breed, or have no special preferanee one over another, in such cases he cannot do better than to select as his specialty what has been called serviceable buisness horses, staunch, of go**! size and style, moderate speed, aud uervy action. For horses of this class there is a steady and incr.asieg demand; they are quickly purchased at good prices, and it is in this field that farmers will find remunerative work. By a judicious selection of sire aud dam such horses may be secured; but, as we have frequently urged, this cannot be done by indiscriminate breeding, for instead of obtaining what is desired, the progeny may be a nondescript, ungainly and undesirable. It is indispensable to success that the conditions shall be favor able to obtaining it. We have stated them heretofore, aud need not repeat them here. The class of horses leferred to are scarce and high, and of this many farmers have doubtless taken notice. HORSE CRIBBING. —It frequently happens that a person has a very good horse other ways than this very pernicious habit of cribbiug—or crib-biting— the cause of which is not very definitely settled by the books, as the veterinary practitioners, like all other dictors, disagree. Cribbiug is said to be infectious, and a youug horse standing in the next stall to an old cribber will be very likely to take on his propen sity. The propensity, or habit, is very hard to cure. It may be avoided or palli ated in some measure in several ways. The best way that I know of for the stable— haviug tried it myself—is to construct the stall in the following manner: Make the crib, f.r manger, on the thx>r instead of three feet higher up, with a plank front about fifteen inches high and for the bottom fit in a aice piece of hard-wood board, or plank. Have no bar or crosspiece at the bottom of the hay rack, but instead, flare off the ends of the slats and screw them on strong to the boarding in the front part of the stall. In this way the droppings will fall into the manger, aud not be trcddeu under foot, and the horse will have noth ing to bear his foreteeth upon to suck wind into or expell it from his stomach; both theories being advocated, both maj be true. The oats can be fed out just as well as though the manger was higher up, aud it is thought bv many that this is the best aud most natural way for a horse to feed. The horse should be hitched in front, over the manger, so that he can reach the food in all parts thereof, and that will give him scope enough to lie down comfortably. HARDY WINDOW PLANTS.— There is no question more difficult to answer than as to the best plants for window culture, for so much depends on the skill or experience of the cultivator. Some growers will make things thrive that others fail utterly with; for some plants require nice care, while others thrive even under neglect. We give a list of plants that do not mind trifl ng checks. Tha various classes of geranium, such as the common Zonales, rose, and other scented leaved, and the common Lady Washington. Some of the hardier kinds of dwarf rose, Bengals and Bourbous, Chinese primroses, cyclaments, and the various kinds of Solauuin, as the Jerusalem cherry, for instance, do very well. If there lie a chance to trail from the boxes, the Kenilworth ivy, mignonette and the petunia will thrive, and if the parlor ivy, moneyworth, spiderwort, or running saxifrage, will be found very useful aed easily managed. If the boxes are in partial shade, palms ferns, and some of the variegated leaved begonias will do well. If one become very successful with these easily grawn plants, and become ambitious of floral success, there may be choicer plants expenmented with. HORSE diseases, like those which afflict the human family, are more likely to oc cur in low, cold, damp places than in those which are dry and warm. The best sta bles for horses are those situated on dry, gravelly soils with good natural diainage. Impure air is one of the strongest pre disposing causes of disease. Horse stables should be kept cleaD, sweet and airy, and all affections ot the lungs which will im pair breathing and the proper aeration of the blood should be corrected. Impure water, spoiled and insufficient food should be guarded against. HAND SCREEN. —Small circular hand screens are beautifully made of plaited cream lace ou a stiff foundation, with a cluster of variegated flowers in the centre, they are used at teas, and also at the thea tre. Improved Hectograph. —The princi ple upon which the process depends is this, that a superficial tanning of the gelatin, in the gelatin-glycerin pad, makes the surface, wherever tanned or rendered insoluble, capable of taking fatty inks, while the rest of the surface rejects it. In practice then it is only necessary to have a perfectly level hectographic pad, to write the op/ with ordinary nutgall ink, to which a little ex tra tannin aud extract of logwood has been added, and to transfer the writing in the ordinary manner upon the hectographic surface. Wherever the writing appears, the surface becomes tanned, and on now applying a roller with printers' ink, the written characters alone take the latter. The pad is to be inked after each impres sion. It is said that 300 to 400 sharp copies can be made upon dry paper. The only material necessary, besides the hec tograph, is a slab, cr zinc plate, for spread ing out the printer's ink, a small printers' roller with handle, and a roll of wood or paper for pressing the paper against the pad. The London Times is responsible for the following piece of information: "Some time ago an Austrian chemist is said to have devised a new soporific, the action of which is so rapid and powerful that a lew drops *>f it sprinkled on the head and face will effectuaily stupefy a man in a tew seconds and render him utterly defense less. He gave it the name of 'bandiger,' or tamer, and offered the secret of its pre paration to the Austrian Government. But the Government has not only refused to purchase it, but has ordered the Police authorities to formally notify the inventor to discontinue his experiments, and to ab stain utterly from using his invention in any way or communicating it to others, under pain of being criminally dealt with.'' DOMESTIC. BI.ACKBEREY CORDIAL. —The blackber ry is said bY chemists to have a remar kable effect as a tonic. Blackberry juice is recommended for nervous exhaustion. Put the Blackberries in a preserving kettle over the tire, mash them down with a wooden spoon as they heat until all Vie juice is boiled out. Btraiu through a cloth tut.) a bowl ; measure the juice. If you want to make plain syrup add one fourth the quantity of good brandy to the juice and bottle, in cordial, allow two teaspoonfuls of ground cloves, ditto mace, ditto allspice, and four of cinnamon to each quart of the juiee. Boil like simple syrup, skimming carefully. Add the spices after you have removed the scum, and boil again till syrupy. Strain out the spices through a fine muslin. When colli add a pint of whiskey to every puart of syruy. Bottle immediately and cork. If you use brandy for the cordial the pro portion is one-fourth of your measure of the blackberry juice. POINTS IN OAKK MAKING. —The butter should be perfectly sweet ami free from buttermilk; the butter and sugar should be thoroughly beateu together. Powder ed sugar is preferable to granulated, as the latter is slow in dissolving ; the whites of the eggs should be beaten to a stiff froth, and added to the sugar, fruit should be rolled iu flour and added at the last mo ment : Soda should bo pulverized and sifted into the eake with the Hour. The hand, or a wooden spixm, is best for mix ing cake. An import tut point is the heat of tne even. The eake should laigin to bake at ouee, but show Id not brown im mediately. the oven door should be sel dom opened while the cake is iu. The gem-pans are excellent for bakiug cake, first heating them as for Graham gems. WAKM MILE A8 A KKVKRAGK —Milk heated too much above 100 deg M F. loses for that time a degree of its sweetness and its density. Mo one who, fatigued by ovt r-exertion of body or mind, has ever ex perienced the reviving influence of a tum bler of this beve age, heated as hot as it can be sipped, will willingly forego a re sort to it because of its having been ren dered somewhat less acceptable to the pal ate. The promptness with which its cor dial influence is telt is indeed surprising. Some portion of it seems to be digested and appropriated almost immediately ; and many who fancy that they need alcoholic stimulants when exhausted by fatigue will And in this simple draught an equivalent that shall be abundantly satisfying and more enduring in its effects. THE cure for night sweats depends en tirely on the cause. Malaria gives rise to them and then the cure is quiuiue and arse nic Debility may cause them. lu that case tonics ami good, untritious food should be used. Consumption causes it, and the cure is sulphuric acid, ten to twenty drops, in water, au hour. Oxide of zinc and hy drocyauite extract pills, and, aboye all, atrophia sulphate, one two hundredths of oue grain to begin with. This must be takeu with great care. Dr. Nairn, of Lon don, says he sponges the body with tinct ure of belladonna, but the drug is too power ful to be used by any oue but a physi cian. RIBBONS which are very much soiled can oe made clean,and will look almost like new ones, if washed in ammonia and wa ter. Use half a teaspoonful of ammonia to one pint of water. Some ribbons, after washing or sponging, do not need to be ironed, and in fact are injured by it. These should be fastened to a tablo or long ironing board, and when perfectly smooth let them alone until they are dry. if they are all wrinkled when dry, lay a cloth which is slightly damp over them and presn with a hot iron. Black silk, if sponged with cold coffee and ammonia, will be wonderfully freshened. Use a flannel cloth to remove dust from silk. BI TTER SCOTCH. —Take three pounds of sugar, one-fourth of a pound of butter, one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar, and eight drops extract of lemou. Add as much cold water as will dissolve the sugar; boil without stirring till it will easily break wheu dropped into cold water, and when done add the lemon. Have a dripping pan well buttered, and pour in one-fourth of an inch thick, and when partly cold mark off in squares. If pul led when in this state till very white, it will be like ice cream candy. Do not stir it, but shake the vessel occasionally while cooking. COTTAGE PUDDING. —Three pints cf milk, four to six eggs, sugar to taste, two thick slices of bread crumbled very fine. Any kind of fruit may he added, and it is good without. Flavor to taste, aud hake half an hour in a moderate oven. When baked heat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth with a little sugar, aud cover the top in large spoonfuls, and sprinkle with pink sugar sand; beat till a light brown. This is very delicate and handsome. CARKOT SALAD.- Select very tender car rots, and cook them iu fast boiling water till tender; cut iuto very thin slices, put them into a glass salad howl, and sprinkle with sifted loaf sugar; add the juice of a large fresh lemon, and a wineglassful of olive oil. Byway of garnish, place round the margin of the dish an onion cut in exceedingly thin slices, and small bunches of any fresh, green salad leaves. To STOP BLEEDING OF THE NCSE. - A French surgeon says the simple elevation of a person's arm will stop bleed ng at the nose. He explains the matter physiologi cally, and declares it a positive remedy. It is certainly easy of trial. Or, a strong solution of alum water, snuffed up the nostrils, will cure in most cases without anythiug further. MUSTARD BLASTER. —By using syrup or molasses for mustard plasters, they will keep soft and flexible, and not dry up and become hard, as when mixed witii water. A thin paper, or flue cloth should come between the plaster and the skin. The strength of the plaster is varied by the ad dition of more or less flour. Liquin SHOE POLISH.- -The following is a German recipe: Dissolve three and a half ounces of she'lac in a half pint of al cohol. Rub smooth twenty-five grains of lamp black with six drachms of cod-liver oil, and mix. A few diops are to he ap plied to the leather with a sponge. CURE FOR HOARSENESS. —Take the whites of two eggs and beat them with two tea spoonfuls of white sugar, grate in a little nutmeg, then add a pint of luke warm water ; stir well, drink often and it will cure the most obstinate case of hoarseness in a short time. COOKS make the mistake of boiling things too much. After reachiag the boil ing point meats should simmer. The toughest meats can he made tender by so doing. To CUKE WARTS.- -Cut a slice from a raw potato and rub the hand each night; let the water dry on the hand. It will need but few applications. A MEDICINE NOT A DltlNK. High Authority. Hop Bitters is not, in any sense, an al coholic beverage or liquor, and could not be sold, for use except to persons desirous of obtaining medical bitters. GREEN B. RAIJM. U. 8. Com'r Internal Rev.

"A young friend of mine was cured of au insatiable thirst for liquor that lul l so prostrated his system that he was unable to do any business. He was entirely cured by the use of Hop Hitters. It allayed all that burning thirst; took away the appetite for liquor; made his nerves steady, and he has remained a sober aud steady man for more than two years, and has no desire to re turn to his cups, and I know of a number of others that have been cured of drinking by it."—From a leading K. 11.

But here is a new version of the story, A man in Bridgeport drop ped his watch down a well ten years ago, and last week; when the well was being cleaned, the time-piece was recovered — and still running.

THERE was only one passenger on board the ship, and the captain and mate cou trived to get the most of the best of what was on the table. One day there was a rolypoly pudding with the sweetmeats in the middle. "Do you like puddin' ends, sir," asked the captaiu. 44 No, I don't like pudding ends, sir," said the passen ger. 44 Well, me and my mate does," said the captain, cutting the pudding 111 two and puttiug one-half on the mate's plate and the other on his own.
