"The Friends of the Kemslui." "If you've got time I'd like to have you write a little something about the de ceased,'' said the little man, quietly, "something pretty mournful, if you please.*' "Who is dead?"' inquired the managing editor, dipping his pen in the ink pot. "Friend of yours?" "Well, yes," replied the little man, leaning over the table. "She was my wife. Her wings sprouted yesterday, and we turfed her over this P. M. She was a very superior article of remaius, and 1 thought I'd have you speak a good word for her to the public, with something about other papers copying it at the bottom." "Where was the plant!" asked the edi tor, scratching his head for appropriately melancholy ideas. "We set her out up in Cypress Hills," replied the mourner, wiping his eyes. "We had a ten dollar discourse and a forty dollar funeral. You might speak of the casket. That cost fifteen dollars alone, and there must have been eight or nine dollars' worth of flowers and shrubs and one thing or another." "1 might say she was popular and gen erally beloved by all who knew her in life, eh?" suggested the editor. "You bet! Aud that'll make her sister mad" You might say she was the hand somest woman in her precinct, aud that there were four carriages choke full. If you want a nice piece of descriptive, you might add that 1 rode on the hearse with the driver." "An affectionate wife and a loving mothei?" hinted the editor. "Well," coughed the little man, 44 if you've got plenty of time and room. Per haps you'd better pay more attention to the handles on the casket. I'll shew 'em to you. Geti'iine plate!' and he drew them from bis pocket- "The screws were all silver headed, but they thought I'd better leave them." "Was she piominent in any of the char itable rackets? Much in the Sunday School business?" asked the editor. "Yes, some. She belonged to a gross or two of old women's homes and a couple o' dozen of children's temp&wDce socie ties, but that didn't cut much figure at the funeral. You might speak of tne number present and say that several friends of the remains were jammed about a good deal trying to get a sight at her. We showed her at the house and at the grave, and though 1 say it myself, 1 think the coffin plate was generally admired. "Then she was a worthy. Christian woman, charitable and kindly disposed, and departed sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends." 4 Oh, yes!" sighed the bereaved, "1 don't see any objection to that. You might follow it up by remarking that her prostrated husband gave her as good a send-off as any woman in that ward ever had. The headstone comes to fifteen dol lars, and I lost ten to my. brother-in-law betting that the hearse could beat the mourner's carriage to the first toll gate on the old road coming home. I'd like to bave it known that I did the fair thing, though I don't care to look lJte 1 was blowing about the expense." "Did she leave any children?" "Yes, oh. yes! she left 'em. They-yedV with her as far as the grave. It stood me in twenty-seven dollars to fit them out with grief for the occasion. But I don't begrudge it. When I spend money I cal culate to get the worth of it, and nobody ever hears me complain. 1 paid eighteen dollars for the clothes she was shoveled uider in.'* "Did she leave any property?" "A couple of houses and "lots, but you needn't mention them. Just speak of it as the social event of the season in funeral circles, in which no expense was spared to make it a gratifying success, and you'll hit it about even. The neighbdrs are all watching for the paper and you'll make a little something out of the sales if you do • the right thing." And the prostrated husband put on his hat and buttoned up h : s coat. And the irnnagwg editor wrote a simple, touching little tribute to the memory of tbe woman qualities were buried under bcr funeral bills, and the prostrated husband showed it around, explaining that he couldn't imagine how the paper get hold of the facts unless it was that a ri potter was present disguised as one of „the riends of the remains." Bow AND WHEN TO CUT FLOWERS. —The proper stage at which to cut flowers far decoration is the most important part of the subject of fkwer supply next lo the product'on. Never cfit any flowers until fully developed. Flowers which open when cut, as the gladiolus, may be excep lions (o this rule, but trusses of pelargoni ums and bouvardias should not be cut until fu 1 / developed. Nor is this aIL Flow ers are allowed to reman on the plants as long as they will continue in good condi tion, To gather a b'oom which would last for a week or two. and pass over a bloom which would be useless in a few days, is disadvantageous in two ways. In the first place, the young bloom is sacrificed at a time when it is not reeded, and the older b'oom is entfre'y wasted. This system will in a short time change a sufficient quantity into scarcity. Another matter cun only be settled by experience, and tnat is cutting more flowers than are required at one time. It is a'so quite possible to use very many more flowers in drcoiating vases than are necessary, to the detriment of the flowers, which invariably last lon ger when thinly arranged. Every flower ought to stand entirely clear of its neigh bor. 1 his is effected by employing foliage freely, filling large glasses with foliage, and then, inserting the flowers. Water is also used, as being most cleanly and keep ing the good condition for a 1 Dger period ih: n any other medium. Tne haimonizing and contrasting of colors is also a question of some importance, but in this the varied tastes of the employers have 9 in a great degree to be studied. White flowers and yellow ones that may be used do well with any color, dark blue cr puiple flowers are not suitable at this season;pink shades are best with white or yellow flow era. All flowers, ferns and foliage should be cut With the longest possible stems. I do not strip the leaves off flower stems and terns, more especially maidenhair ferns; I also have a portion of the fronds inserted in the water. These last much longer for various purposes if cut aud placed for two oays in water before using. In hot rooms the glasses require periodically filling. When the flowers are freshly arranged, the glares should be washed before being re filled. Many flowers last a long time at this season, such as cyclamens, pelargoni ums, orchids and others; these should never be left loDger than three or four dajs without having fresh water and being re arranged. THCBE who object to the odors of many of the disinfectants used at the present day will fine charcoal unobjectionable on this account, and it is said to absorb gases in a surprising way; pieces can belaid on plates and pat oat of sight in a sick room. 44 DE bieture you haf bainted is most putilul; dere is only von vord in de En glish lanekguige vicli describes it and I haf vorgotton it." , AGRICULTURAL. How TO KAIAK MELONS. —Select any piece of sandy land, well exposed to the suh; if all pure sand so much the better. Plough dead furrows, rix feet apart, 24 inches deep, in straight lines from north to south. Fill these up with strong manure and plough the earth bach to bury the ma nure and form a ridge; level the top with the back of the harrow. At eaeh end plant a stout stake to remain as an indica tor of the exact position of the centre of the ridge. You now have a perpetual melon patch for ten years at least, in Hie spring, stietch a garden line from stake to stake, and at every six feet plant six seeds in a twelve inch circle, and four or five radish reeds m the centre. The bugs will not touch the melon plants as long as the radish grows there. Let all the seeds grow do not thin them out, and keep out the weeds till the vines begin to show runners; then mulch the whole patch with straw, hay, fresh cut grass, or anything that will keep the surface moist and the fruit from the ground. As soon as the irost kills the vines, gather all fruit above eight iuches in diameter, and stow it away in a sunuV corner, under some new hay. In this way I have melons npeoing slowly and finely till the weather gets too cool to eat ilieui. Next year plant your seed a foot or two north or south of the old hills, and so on yearly to obtain the wliole ridge. The roots follow the ridge, and the cultivator can be run through the spaces without disturbing the roots. CLOVER FOR FERTILIZING. —There are farmers who rely pretty much altogether on clover for renovating their lands. Its use for this purpose has been a ih ; ng han ded down to us by the farmers of by-gone days. When clover is wanted to enrich the soil for a succeeding c r op it is better to iet it mature nuner than to cut it early. When clover is grown for aeed the roots are the best developed and contain the most nitrogen. This is the reason why those farmers who precede "wheat with clo ver for a fertilizer first cut a crop of clover early and then allow the second crop to go to seed before plowing it in. The roots and scattered leaves of clover make most excellent fertilizers. This, at least, iu what practical men tell us has been their experience. The use of clover as a fertil izer is well understood. 1 here is no green crop that equals it for the purpose. Mr. Joseph Harris, in his talk on manures,says i at we can make our lands poor by grow ing clover and selling it; or we can make ihem rich by growiug clover and feeding it out on the farm. Drain wheie needed, cultivate thoroughly so as to develop the latent plant food in the soil,and then grow c'over to take up and organize ibis plant food. This is how to make land rich by growing clover. Draining and cultivating furnishes food for clover, apd the clover takes it up and prepares it in Dtst shape for other crops. The clover does not create p T ant food, bu. merely saves it. GREASB YOUR WHEELS. —The season has now arrived for the almost constant use of vehicles of all kinds, from Ihe farm wagon to the sulky, and a few wcrds in regard to greasing will be timely to those who wish to avoid delays, damages, and ofiimes con siderable danger. An ordinary tarm wa gon, one which, while it nay be used nearly every day for heavy hauling, is seldom dnveu faster than the walk ot an average farm team, should be greas d well every Monday morning, ?s should be the cart, at d by making a set time to do it, it will rarely he forgotten. A farm w%01,a spring one, which goes to the mill, to mar ket, and to divers other places, at aD ordi nary jog trot, should be greased forty or fifty miles according to the speed, while a light carnage being driven fa>ter and hav ing less surface or room for the grease should be greased after it has run every thirty miles or so, always wiping the spindle clean and origfit before applying the grease. For carriages use only spenn or castor oil, and but a few drops at each spindle, but for heavy business or farm w i ons, use the c<. iumcn axle gr< ase, free from salt. Too LITTLE STOCK. —'ihe reason why so many of our Eastern farms are "running down" .s that they are 4 cropped" to death and the-soil is left to lUelf to recuperate. The usefulness of farm animals as manu facturers of fertilizing materials is'not sufficiently appreciated. Cows are kept for the milk they give, the butter they u ake, and the meat they afford for the butcher, rather than for the manure they manufacture'for fertilizing the farm. Yet this last is an important consideration. Such n anures are better than any prepared fertilizers for general use, and no farmer should overlook the almost imperative ne cessity of food for his crops irem £ome source or other. A farm ot 100 acres ought to have on it 10 to 20 head of cattle besides ho s-s, sheep, and swine; and, were this number kept on some farms we know of, they would not be in the sad condition they now are. Food is always necessary to growth. THE TREK CROP.—'I he proper care of a tree crop, requires its protection from in jury. But we have left our forests unfen ced, or, if we have enclosed them, it lia9 been not so much for the sake of excluding destructive animals from them as for the purpose of making them pasture grounds f< r our caitle, where they have been free to range and feed upon whatever might please their taste. The tender buds, the greeo and succulent shoots, thj youDg trees sprouted in Nature's seed bed and started for the growth of a century, per haps more, we have put at the disposal of the teeth and boms, aud trampling hoofs of cattle. This has been regarded as a cheap way of feeding these animals. Bui there is no fodder for cattle so expensive as forest-fodder. Grass is cheaper than trees. SOIL FJR ROSES. —As all roses are fond of deep, rich soil, the beds or positions [ intended for them should be trenched or double dug, and have plenty of rotten ma nure worked in as the digging or trenching proceeds. In cases whine the land is very stiff and he ivy, the best manure to use is that from horses, as this contains much fege'.able matter, and is a great help tn preventing the stiff soil from binding tc o c osely and shutting out air, which has such a sweetening, beneficial influeuce on the character and texiuie of all soils. For light, sandy ground, cow manure is tbe moit suitable, on account of being cooler in its nature and when In a decomposed state highly congenial to the roots of most plants, aad particularly so to those of the rose. THE prac ice of thinning potato v n s to two stalks in the hill, when they exceed that number, has been annual with a cor respondent, ana his father before him for fifty years. This is done at! o ing time— the superfluous (weakest) elalks being trea ted as weeds. The effect is, as may be supposed, an increase of large handsome tubers. The object of cutting seed to sin gle eyes is in part to prevent overcrowding and competition of stalks. THERE IS no wisdom in workings thirty acre field year after year to get five bush els of wneat or ten or corn to the acre, when you could raise fit teen bushels of wheat or thirty of corn to the acre. DOMESTIC. SHAD ROES EN BARRIERS. —Soak shod roes an hour in cold water containing a little salt, dry them carefully on a towel, season with salt and pepper, have ready in the frving-pau sufficent smoking hot fat to cover the roes; put them into it, with one pint of scallops, which have Wen previously washed and dried qn a towel; put a cover over the frying-pan or the roes will scatter; cook until the scal lops are tender and the roes are brown; meantime prepare the mashed potatoes, which are au important pait of this dish, by putting into boiling water the trim mings saved from the niuitre d'hote! pota toes,with half a dozen medium sized pota toes, peeled and sliced ; boil uatil tender; mash them through a tiue colander with potato masher: mix with them one ounce of butter, one h*vel teaapoouful of salt, half a saltspoonful of white pepper, quarter of a saltspoouful of grated nut meg and the yelk of two raw eggs; form a ring around the margin of a platter with the mashed potato; put in the oven long enough to turn the potato to a gol den brown, then arrange the fried seal lops on the platter just inside the ring, placing the shad roes in the centre; serve hot. NEW STRING BEANS WITH ALLEMANDE SAUCE.—A quart of these beans should be thoroughly washed? stringed and out into thiu diagonal strips with a sharp knife; they sl\puld be boiled only until just tender in salted boiling water, then drained aud thrown into cold water while the sauce is beiug made as follows: Put one tablespoonful of butter, one table spoonful of tlour, iu a saucepan over the tire; stir until it* bubbles; then add sulli cient boiling water to make a thick sauce; season with salt and pepper, remove the beans from the cold water, put them into the sauce; take the yelks of two raw eggs, mix with them two or three tea spoonfuls of the sauce until thoroughly incorporated; add this to the sauce, with one teaapoonful of lemon juice, stirring constantly until the yelks thicken, and no longer; remove from the tire, or the pggs will curdle. COLD SALMON, WITH MAYONNAISE SAUCE. —Have either a whole small sal mon or a cut right out of the middle of alargeone; have water enough in the fish kettle to cover the salmtm completely ; have the fish well scraped and washed and put in the kettle as the water boils • let it boil very slowly and allow as much time for it as for meat—about a quarter of an hour to every pound—but judg menf is required in cooking it. as the thickness of the fish will have more to do with the time*it takes than the actual weight; ten pounds of a full grown sal mon would take an hour an t a quarter, when it is cooked enough take it up and place it on a drainer; when thoroughly cold have a Mayonnaise sauce ready, aud pour over it; garnish with slices of lem on, capers, gherkins aud parsley. SPONGE PUDDlNG. —Rnbjsix ounces of butter or beef dripping into a pound of dry flour, into which a level desertspoon ful of ground ginger and six ounces of brown sugar have Ireen mixed; dissolve two level teaspoonfuls of carbonate of soda in half a pint of milk, mixing it Binoth and free from lumps before adding to the flour. Beat all together into a soft batter and pour into a buttered ba sin. Allow the pudding plenty of room to swell in the cloth, which it does con siderably; plunge into very fast boiling water, and keep boiling two hours and a half. Turn it out, ami serve with wine sauce; but some prefer to eat it dry. BROWN OR QUAY PUDDING, —Two eggs, their weight in flour and butter, the weight of one in sugar; beat the butter to a cream with the sugar, add the eggs well beaten, stir in the flour, then stir in two tabkspoon-fuls of raspberry jam or jelly. Just before putting the pudding into the mould beat in half a teaspoonful of carbonate of -Boda. Boil or steam for an hour and three quarters. Leave plen ty of room for the pudding to rise it the moulTE Serve with wine or sweet fauce. If preferred, put two tablespoon - fuls of nice treacle or golden syrup, with half a teaspoonful of ground ginger, in stead of the raspberry jam. LOVERS OF CHOCOLATE in any and ev ery form can make this addition to a common custard pie: Beat au egg to a stiff froth, then add pulveriz d sugar and grated chocolate witli a lialf-teaspoonful of vanilla; spread this on the top of the pie aud let it harden for a moment in the oven. Or you may prepare it in still an other way; put the chocolate in a basin on the back of the stove, and let it melt (do not put a drop of water with it): when melted beat one egg aud some su gar in with it; in the latter case it will be a regular chocolate-brown in color, and in the other a sort of gray. A RICH TOMATO SOUP. —Take eight good-sized tomatoes, cut them in half, put them into a saucepan with a bunch of sweet herbs, and an onion stuck full of cloves, some all-spice, whole pepper and salt. Cook them slowly till quite soft, then strain through a strainer or hair sieve untill the skins and onions and herbs only are left behind. Have a quart of plain stock (or any water that meat has boiled in) boiling hot, stir the to matoes into it, add the yelks of two eggs beaten up in a little cold water. Serve with sippets of toast or fried bread. BRIGHTON CAKF. —Take one pound of sugar and four ounces of butter, mix them together until they form a cream; then take six eggs aud mix them with the sugar end butter until the yelks are broken; then stir in three gills of milk, of silted flour, two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a salt npoonful of salt; mix them together; stir as little as possible, and bake In jelly cake pans in a quick oven. RECIPE FOR THE COMPLEXION. —Make a linen bag large enough to hold a quart of bran: put it in a yessel aud pour two quarts of boiling water on it; let it stand all day, and night, on going to bed, take the bag out and wash the face with the bran-water. In the morning wash it off entirely with distilled rain water. In a very short time it will make a coarse skin feel like velvet. CHAPPED HANDS. —Powdered starch is an excellent preventive of chapping of the hands, when it is rubbed over them after washing and drying them thorough ly. It will also prevent the needle in sewing from sticking and becoming rus ty. It is therefore advisable to have a small box of it in the work box or basket, and near your wash basin. FIG, PUDDING. —Take half a pound of figs, chop with a quarter of a pound of bread crumbs, add three tablespoonfuls of sugar, two and a halt of butter, one cup of milk and two eggs. Butter a mould, sprinkle with fine bread crumbs, pour in the pudding, and steam three hours. Serve with rich sauce. HUMOROUS. AN Amesbary man this spring planted dynamite bombs in his garden to fix the hens that came to scratch. It worked pretty well. An old bralima hen that had devastated gardens for years, and was responsible for enough quarrels and provonity to send a village to perdition, got in her work just over one of those bombs, and didn't have time to bo sur prized. But that was the only bomb that happened to explode, ard the owner of the garden has forgotten just where he planted the others, and he hasn't got money enough to hire anybody to dig round and find thorn, people shuddering at the suggestion, and that garden is likely to be for some years in and waste, given up to weeds.
