In the Camp.
On the Delta of the Nile, the Englieh
and Egyptian camps are now facing each
other. The Egyptians, should they be
detested, have Cairo and the Libyan De
sert to fly to; the British, with Alexandria,
moreover, which is covered by the guns of
one of the strongest fleets that ever went
forth to do battle with an antagonist—
have a tolerably secure place of retreat in
the event of any disaster befalling their
arms. The routine of the British soldier's
life in the time of warfare is similar to
that of the American. In the morning he
must fall into the ranks at bugle call and
answer to his name; later he has to take
his turn at guard or picket duty; he may
have to fall into a patrolling party or take
part in a reconnoissance; then, when he
has nothing more to do, he may lounge
about among the tents, smoking his clay
pipe or chattiDg with a comrade. The
scene differs strangely in the camp of the
Egyptians. There the majority of the
soldiers are dressed In a mongrel European
fashion, with the tarboosh or fez as the
most conspicuous national characteristic
of their uniform; but there is a minority
whose picturesque costumes are distinctly
Oriental. The Bedouin, with kis gaudily
colored handkerchief wrapped about his
head, leaving ends that float upon his
shoulders, his long white, mantle-like gar
ments, and his sandalled feet; the Soudan
ese, with white turbans, flowing raiment
and baggy trousers; the Abyssinian adven
turer, who dresses as he pleases, much as
his brother the Nubiau does—all form a
singular contrast with the quietly uni
formed soldiers of the "regular" force.
On the eve of battle these soldiers show a
different scene in camp from that which
their antagonists present, bitting cross
legged m front of their tents, which are
but pieces of thin canvas stretched on
cross-sucks, and are so low that their oc
cupants have to enter them by crawling,
they assemble in groups and pass around
the chilbouque or nurghileh, the bubbling
sound of which as the smoke passes
through the water is almost the only
sound that is heard except the neighing or
the stamping of the horses that are pick
eted by the heels behind the camp's ir
regular lines.
An officer gallops along and warns them
to be reedy. They rise hastily to their
feet, crawl* into their tents for their
weapons and hustle up together before
they finally fall into line. But they do
it all with very little noise. It is possible
to find not a noisy but a hilarious group;
but this is generally where a chosen few
ot the biack faced and laughter loving
talthtul from the Soudan have surrounded
a story-teller, whose narrations of the
deeds of genii or the merry tricks among
mortals of lesser supernatural worthless
alternately excite their deep-voiced won
der or their spontaneous, child-like mirth.
A British soldier seeing an Arab or Eirypt"
iau c&iup, and noting the recumbent posi
tion and social manner of the majority of
its occupants, might imagine that such
people as these had no energy for fighting
but lie would be egregiously mistaken.
A French traveler, who recently closely
observed the Egyptian army and all its
incongruous elements of pute" fellaheen,
Copts, Berbers, Nubians, Western Christ
ians, Turks, Abyssinians, came to this
conclusion :—They are admirably trained,
drilled and disciplined under the super
vision of an exceedingly able staff of
American and other loreign officers, and
ihe result is that a finer looking soldier
than a Egptian soldier can be seen no
where. "Such is a brief sketch of the
trocps that are now waiting." Arabi's
men are stroDgly posted in the viciinity of
Ramleh; but his strongest position is on
the narrow neck of land which stretches
from the Aboukir Lake to the northern
verge of Lake Mareotis. With a broad
country behind him, a railway and plenty
ol water in the Mahmovdieh Canal, Arabi
Bey ought to be able to make a stubborn
resistance to any British force attempting
to move along ihe neck and drive him
fiom bis pcsiiioD. A conspicuous teature
of that neck of land is that it is filled with
marsh giound, which will seriously intei
ltre with the Iree movements both of
British cavalry and artillery. The ground
Aiabi has chosen is, on the contrary, firm
enough to permit of very effecting man
oevuring.
Rivaling Electricity.
The following is a description of a new
ly-invented gas burner which is intended,
and it is taid promises, to compete to some
extent with the electric lamp, 'lliere was
a time, when the gas companies had their
own sweet will with the public, who were
forced to deal with them, consume what
ever quality of gas they might furnish, and
pay pretty nearly what they saw fit to
charge. Latterly, however, the condition
of affairs has undergone a change the elec
tric light proving a much more formidable
competitor of the gas companies than the
latter ever anticipated. The future of the
electric light has, m fact, become so pro
mising that the gas manufacturers have
cause for serious a arm, and some of them
are casting about for some means whereby
they may cope with the dangerous rival.
The burner before spoken of is the result
of this demand for something more efficient
and cheaper than the old form. The in
vention, which has been introduced lately
in London with so great a measure of suc
cess that the inventors have cbtained the
privilege of using the system m one of the
prominent thoroughfares of the city, is
described as somewhat similar to the ordi
nary burner, with a gauze cap over it. It
consists of two pipes—one for supply of
air, at a pressure sufficient to balance a
six-inch column of water, and the other
for the gas, which is conducted from the
meter in the ordinary way. On the top
of the burner is a cap about two inches
high and half an inch in diameter, formed
of platinum wire gauze of very fine mesh.
The air under pressure is delivered from an
inner tube, opening into a larger one near
the top of the burner, with an opening at
its lower end. When the air is turned on
an induced upward current is produced,
and gas being admitted at the same time,
the two combined and pass into the plati
num cap. When the mixture of gas and
air is ignited the cap in a few seconds
gives forth a brilliant incandescent giow
of high illuminating power. The essential
feature of the burner seems to have been
suggested by the incandescent electric
lamp. The light is described as of great
1 . nnirnii ||nlj|ff| It* rivnl, |fi
said to be very steady. The amount of
light obtained in one experiment appears
to be double that thrown out by the best
Argand burner, both consuming the same
quantity ot gas. The heat is but moder
ate, and the combustion so perfect tbat
when a polished silver plate was held over
the burner it remained untarnished.
Should this new lamp as successful as
those interested In it anticipate, it will
give the gas companies a new lease of life
and additional strength to compete with
their rivals.
Strutt , an English authority on games
and amusements, speaks of a Yorkshire
jumper, named Ireland, whose powers
were marvelous He vras six feet high,
and at the age of 18 leaped, without the
aid of a spring board, over nine horses
unged side by side.
AGRICULTURE,
DRIVING COWS. —There is one practice
Blmost universally iu use which is unpro
fitable and cruel. It is for a man or boy
to take a horse to drive milk cows to and
from the pasture. A horse walks much
faster than a cow whose udder is distend
ed and heavily loaded with four or five
gallons of milk. And yet we are pained
every day to see town boys (some of them
pretty old for that term) hurryiug a cow,
in line condition, along at a dog trot, and,
on her falling to keep out cf the horse's
way, to receive a cut from a vilhanous
whip. And there is scarcely an evening
but that we see a f*mi!y cow brought home
from the pasture with a horse at fu'l trot.
Aud this is only what can be seen almost
anywhere. Bafote boys got too lazy, or
before mothers thought It disgraceful for
their 60us to walk, a horse was not used
for such a purpose. The boys were taught
to drive the cows quietly anil slowly, and
especially in the evening, when the cow is
carrying her precious load to feed the fa
mily. But the cruel and unmerciful way
this business is done now,it will be strauge
it judgments are not visited on the fami
lies that permit such things. It will, and
does, come in rendering the cow almost
worthless. And m many cases the cow
is entirely ruined. The judgment comes
to the family in using unhealthy milk by
injuring the udder, and sometimes over
heating the cow. When children are weak
or sickly where there is a cow belougiug
to the family.it may be attributed in many
cases to unnecessary cruelty to the animal
by rash drivers. There should be no com •
plaining, for judgments frequently come
in that way as the necessary results of bad
conduct. We have no doubt that m&uy
cases of richness, and some deaths are
caused by this inhuman practice,and there
ought to be more. A boy who will be thus
cruel to the kind and faithful family cow,
will be a cruel man, dangerous to society,
and the sooner he is removed from the evil
to come the better. And in such cases the
tears ot the parents should be few.
USE OF THE HAND IIOK. With the intro
duction of the horse-cultivaor the haud
hoe went out of use on most Western farms.
More woik could be done with the cultiva
tor, and it could be done with greater ease.
The more the cultivator was improved the
more farmers became attached to it, and
the greater was their reluctance to handle
the hoe. At present the implement that
has been used longer and to better advan
tage than any other In the cultivation of
crops is generally discarded on Western
farms. Indeed, mauy market gardeners
manage to raise most of their vegetables
without using the hoe to any c inside ruble
extent. The horse cultivator is certainly
a very desirable implement to employ in
both the field and the garden, but its use
should be supplemented by that of the
hand-hoe. It ie profitable to continue the
use of the hoe m every garden and culti
vated field. Work can be performed with
it that can not be done with any implement
drawn by a horse. The hoe should be
used in every corn and potato field before
the cultivator is put into operation. It
should be employed to remove stones,turls
aud pieces of hard earth that may be over
the plants that are making their appear
ance above ground, and for stirring the
soil around them. The cultivator is excel
lent for working the ground between bills,
but for cultivating the hill itself there is
no implement like tne baud-lice. It is
very difficult to keep a held devoted to any
cultivated crop entirely clear of grass and
weeds without usiog tne hoe. A field that
has been worked at least once with a hand
hoe is always more productive than one
that has been tended with the cultivator
alone. The truth is, the former performs
some work which the latter caunot do.
POTTING MOULD. —There is one infallible
method of treating potting mould it sus
pected of containing yermin of any kind —
that is, tc fill the pots the day before they
are to be used, and water the soil in them
with boiling water. Scald also as much as
you will require for filling in. Next day
it will be none too moist to work with,and
there will not be a live creature in it. Do
not mix coal ashes with your potting
mould, that is just the way to spoil it.
Earth-worms are not the enemies you sup
pose them to be, and they should not be
ruthlessly destroyed, they are appointed
by nature to ventilate the subsoil by bor
mg in it channels for the admission of air.
They may be ejected from your pots or
from tbe lawn when they have become
troublesome by means ot lime water; the
remedy at the same time will benefit the
plants.
YOUNG chicks are sometimes troubled
witn a disease that, for lack of a better
name, we call indigestion. They lose their
appetite, ' bake up behind, mope around
and die It is caused by feeding sour, un
cooked food,lack of gravel and green food.
The preventives are obvious. Feed only
cooked food, provide gravel and plenty of
green food. Onion tops or lettuce chopped
and mixed with the softfood is excellent
for young chicks and turkeys. Sometimes
a cure can be effected in the early stages
of this disease by giving a half teaspoonful
of cioton oil or tincture of rhubarb, and
then feeding for a few days on cooked
rice or stale bread soaked in milk aud sea
soned with pepper. A little pulverized
charcoal added to the food twice a week
tends to keep the digestive organs of
young fowls in good order.
To make an oilcloth wagon cover, pro
ceed as follows: Take thick cloth, as tent
cloth or sail cloth, and give it two coats
on each side of the following composition:
Linseed-oil, one gallon; dried sulphate of
zinc and sugar of lead, each three ounces;
litharge, eight ounces: boil with constant
stirrißg until it drops in strings; then
cool slowly, and pour off the clear part,
if too thick thin it with boiled oil. This
varnish is flexible and can be folded or
rolled.
PLANTS F>R WINTER — Kemember that
if plant i are wanted for winter blooming
it is well not to allow them to bloom much
during the summer. During their growth
at this season, the ext amities of the shoe's
may be pinched in, to give them a proper
lorrn, and only a small portion of the llow
er-buds that are produced should be allow
ed to bloom—the others should be remov
ed. The result in autumn will be hand
somely formed and vigorous plants, ready
for blooming during the winter.
—A_aii jg bad policy to keep land uncov
ered by vegetation, as loon as one crop ia
plowed under another should be planted.
If the land can be plowed in September
without mucn cost, a crop of buckwheat
may be grown, to be followed with winter
rye, which can be plowtd under in the
spring and followed with potatoes; if the
plowiDg is to cost too much, then sow the
rye in July, and thus keep the land cover
ed with growing vegetation, which is very
important in our climate.
AN English scientific journal says that
oxalic acid promotes the sprouting of seeds
so that seeds forty years old will germinate
by its application. The method is to soak
the seeds one or two days in a solution of
oxalic acid till they commence to open
out, when they are taken out and planted.
Will one ot our readers try it on some old
seeds, aud report?

Ton following rules, it strictly fol
lowed, will stimulate and promote the
growth of hair, so long as the hair follic
les have not lost their vitality: Keep the
scalp scrupulously eleau, and particular
ly free from dandruff. Brush the scalp
dairy with a moderately stiff brush with
out using too muoli friotiou. Wash the
head occasionally with soap and water,
to remove fatty substances which have
become uoid. Keep the head cool and
do not unnecessarily koep it covered iu
doors, particularly in warm rooms. Koep
the skin of the scalp soft, pliable and
faintly moist, if not naturally so, by the
judicious application of some bland
substance as vaseliue, castor oil or al
mond oil, all of which may be perfumed.
THE following simple method of keep
ing ice water a long time iu a common
pitcher is worth knowiug. Plaoo be
tween two shoots of paper (newspaper
will answer, thick brown is better) a
layer of cotton batting, about half an
inch in thickness, fasten the ends of pa
per and batting together, forming a
circle, then sew or paste a crown over
one end, making a box the shape of a
stove-pipe minus the rim. Place this
over an ordinary pitcher tilled with ice
water, makiug it deep enough to rest on
the table, so as to exclude the air, and
you will be astonished at the length of
tune this ice will keep, and the water
remain cold after the ice is melted.
CUP PLUM PUDDING. —One cup each
of raisins, currants, flour, bread crumbs,
suet and sugar; stone and cut the rai
sins, wash and dry the currauts, chop
the suet and mix all the above ingre
dients well together; then add two
ounces of cut eaudied peel and citron, a
little mixed spice, salt and ginger, say
half teaspoonful of each; stir in four
well-beaten eggs and milk enough to
make the mixture so that the spoou will
stand upright iu it; tie it loosely iu a
cloth or put iu a mould; plunge in boil
ing water and boil for three and a half
hours.
As flies this s asou of the year are
very troublesome, and as troublesome
things are not healthy things, we give a
cheap and effective tlv-paper recipe be

drachms of linseed oil. While the mix
ture is warm, dip a spatula into it, and
spread what adheres to the blude on a
sheet of foolscap paper and allow it to

too hard for spreading add more oil;
when too soft, add resin.

BRICEJ3 FOR FURNACES. —French steam
engineers deprecate the use of any bricks
for the construction of furnaces except
bricks which are very elosely pressed
aud refractory, and which are glazed or
suitably vcruished on the outside. Most
of the bricks hitherto employed have
been so porous as to admit a very unde
sirable quantity of air.
PIG'S FOOT CHEESE. —BoiI the hocks
and feet of equal quantity loose iu a pot
till the meat will fall freely from tlie
bones; season well with jiepper and salt;
put into a pan while hot and press it.
Cut in slices and serve with vinegar or
Worcester sauce.
To make a hard sauce to serve with
hot puddiug, beat together some butter
and powdered sugar till it is as light as
beating will make it. If the puddiug is
highly seasoned, it will not be necessary
to tlivor the sauce; put a tablespoonful
of it on the top of each saucer of pud
ding; it will dissolve gradually.
FLANNEL CAKES WITHOUT EGOS. —Two
cups Indian meal, two quarts milk, half
cup yeast, flour for good batter, one pint
boiling water; scald meal with the water,
add the milk, if lumpy, strain, add flour
and yeast; let stand till morning. If at
all sour add soda.
CITRON PUDDING. —Line your dish
with puff paste: slice thin, orange, lem
on and citron peels, of each one ouuce,
six eggs ("leaving out four whites) well
beaten, quarter pound butter melted;
which mix all well together, and pour
into the dish; bake one hour and serve.
MARBLEHEAD CAKES. —Grate the
crumbs of a stale loaf of bread, and sift
out all the lumps. Stir in milk till a
thick batter is formed. Beat eggs, al
lowing two to every pint of milk, till
smooth, and add to the batter; add a
little salt. Beat all we'l together, and
bake one hour and serve.
FRIED APPLES. —Pare sound apples,
slice them half an inch thick, remove
the cons without breakiug the slices,
fry them iu hot butter until tender, lay
them in little piles with sugar and spice
dusted over them, and serve them ou
slices of toast.
CLOTHES pins boiled a few moments
andquickly dried, once or twice a

LADY CAKE. —Beat the whites of four
eggs to a froth, one and a half cups of
sugar and half a cup of butter, heap two
cups of flour and dissolve half a teacup
ful of soda iu a cup of milk; put a tea
spoonful of cream tartar dry in the flour;
flavor with almond ex ract.
SWEET POTATOES. —Boil until a fork

▲ NOTED BUT UNTITLED WOMAN.
[From the Boat on Otoft*]
U'ssrt. Editor*
The above la a good likeness of Vrs. Lydla E. Pink,
ham, of Lynn, Unas., who above all other human batafs
may be truthfully called the "Dear Friend of Woman,"
as some of her correspondents love to call her. She
is sealoudly devoted to her work, which Is the outcome
of a life-study, and Is obliged to keep six lady
assistants, to help her answer the lary* correspondence
which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its special
burden of suffering, or Joy at release from It. Her
Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not
evil purposm. 1 have personally investigated It and
am satisfied of the truth of this.
On aooount of its proven merits, it is recommended
and prescribed by the beet physicians in the country.
One says t " It works like a charm and saves much
pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling
ef the uterus, Leuoorrhcea, Irregular and painful
Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and
Ulceration, Floodlngs, all Displacements and the con
sequent spinal weakness, and la especially adapted to
the Change of life."
It permeates every portion of the system, gives
new life and vigov. It removes fslntnses, flatulency,
destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weak
ness of ths stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches,
Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness,
Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing
down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always
permanently cured by Its use. It will at all times, and
under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law
that governs the female system.
It costs only sl. per bottle or six for |S., and is sold"by
druggists. Airy advice required aa to special cases, and
the names of many who have been restored to perfect
health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be
obtained by addreesing Mrs. P., with stamp for reply,
at her home in Lynn, Mass.
For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound is
unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show.
"Mrs. Pink ham's Liver Pills," says one writer, "are
the best in the world tor the cure of Constipation,
Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Her Blood
Purifier works wonders In Its special line and bids fair
to equal the Compound In Its popularity.
All must respect ber as an Angel of Mercy whose sols
ambition is to do good to others.
