JIOV TO M.IKK bOOI HITTER. The advent of grass will put every farmer's wife in in "mil if the fact that o there i? always something new coming up in a dairying. It may be all sum mel up, as we have time an 1 again stated, in the following precepts : He sure the pasture is of the best, ami that it contains a variety of the sweetest grasses. Do hot change from . winter feed to epr.ng pasture too sud- denly, ami, particularly, ito not iii-n out your cows early to shift for them selves Let the milking he lone by riuiet jx-isons, whether male or female, at regular times morning ami evening, knowing a' ways that the milking is conducted :is cleanly as it is quietly. See that the milk is perfectly eool cil to free it of anirr.al oilor. A ther mometer is an absolute necessity in all well rcirulated dairies. IV c !, .,.,,, f ... cttlinrr rt.ilk le sure the room loi settling n.uw. ir'VlSStiS the golden rules in dairying. ihe temperature of the dairy loom should never be more than '.0 degrees, nor less than 40 degree?. Skim the milk as soon as the first indications of getting thick from lopper are shown. Turn the cream .slowly in to the jar, and stir thoroughly when rnoie cream U added. Keep the re ceptacle for the cream cool, from ." to CO degrees, and cover with some la brie that will keep out minute insects and at tie same time allow access of air. Ch.mi when the cream is ripe, that is when the cream is sour, every other day in spring and every day in sum mer. I- r.ot alloT the cream in the churn to rise much above '() degrees. Ij not churn too fast. There is no thing gained by seeking to bring the butter In a few minutes. From "20 to .'lo minutes is about right. (iood gia-is will make nice colored butler. At ui.-h seasons, when the color of butter is pale, use coloring carefully. It is better that butter be lather light than a dark yellow". When the butter comes in granules stop churning. Wash with cold wat er or cold brine ; work only enough to bring it to a firm uniform mass. Io not salt heavily; from three-quarters to one ounce of salt to a pound of butter is enough. Tack in tight, clean, sweet' pack ages ; fill to within a half inch of the top, cover with a clean cloth, and add brine to (ill until solid. Keep it in the coolest place you have, and there is no reason why you should not get the top price for your butter. l'riiri i'trii" r. The 1 n riinio cho.n of Wheat into America. Trior to the discovery of this continent In' .Columbus, there was no cert-al in America approaching in na ture the wheat plant. It was not un til 1 .":( that wheat found its way into Mexico, and then only by chance A slavp. of Cortez fi tunl a few grains of wheat in a parcel of rice and showed them to his master, who ordered them to lie plante I. The result showed that wheat would thrive well on Mexi can soil, and to-day one of the finest wheat valleys in the world is near the Mexican capital. Fiom Mexico the cereal found it-, way to Te:u. Maria P'Kscobar, wife of Ph gode ("hauvrcs, carried a few grains to Lima, which were pla'iteO, the entire prod net being :i-ed fo'- seed for H'vei:.l successive crops. At Juito. in la.-ua lo:, a inoiik of the Or.lei of St. Francis, bv the name of Fray Mo-i llixi introduced the new cereal, and it is said that the jar which ci'iilaim l the seeds planted is still pi served by the m .nks of Onito. IVheat was introduced into the present limits of the I'nited States contem uaneou -ly with the settle ment of the country by the Kiiglisii and the I Mitch. IIosssfs That Will. Ski.i..

" - I Travelers, observing the likeness of children's sanies in Europe and Asia, I'p.ve sometimes exp'.ttioed it on this theory : That the human mind being alike everywhere, the same games are naturally found in different lands, chil dren taking to hockey, tops, stilts, kites, and so on, each at its projier season. Hut if so. wliv is it that in outlying barbar ous countries one hardly rinds a game without finding also that there is a civil ized nation within reach from whom it may have been learned V And what is more, how is it that European children knew nothing till a few centuriesago of" some of their now most iopular si torts V For instance, they had no battledore and shuttlecock and never flew kites till these games came across from Asia, w hen they took root "at once and became naturalized over Knroie. The origin of kite living seems to lie somewhere in southeast Asia, where it is a sjiort even of grown up men. who tight their kites by making t lif-in cut one another's strings. 'and lly birds and mon sters of the most fantastic shapes and colors, esK-cially in China, where old gentlemen may be seen taking their even inn stroll, kite string in hand, as though thev were leading iet dogs. The English boy's kite api"'ars thus an in stance not of simultaneous play instinct, but of the migration of an artificial game from a distant centre. Xoristhis all it proves inthe history of civilization. Within a century, Euroeaits becoming acipiainted withthe South Sea islanders, found them down to New Zealandadepts at thing kites, which they made of leave's or bark doth, and called woo,-, or ln'rd. flying them in solemn form with the accompaniment of traditional chants, which 'looks as if (he toy reached I'olyne sia through the Malay region, thus lie longing to that drift of Asiatic culture which is evident in many other points of South S.-a Island life. The geography ol ourchildish di version may le noticed as matching with this. Mr. Wallace re lates that Wing one wet day in a Cayak house in I'.onieo. he thought to amuse the lads by taking a piece of string to show them '"cat's cradle," but to his surprise lie found that they knew more about it than he did. going ofT into tig ur. s that quite puzzled him. ther Po lynesians are skilled in this nursery art. especially the Maoris, of New Zealand, who call it uimii. fiom the name of their national hero, by whom, according to theirtr.elition.it was invented ; its vari ous patterns represent canoes, houses, people, and even episodes in M an i "s 1 i fe, such as his fishing u New Zealand from the bottom of the sea. In fact, they have their pictorial history in cat's cradle." and whatever their traditions may be worth, they stand good to show that the game was of the time of their forefathers, not lately picked up from the Europeans. In the Sandw ich Islands and New Zealand it is on record that the natives were found playing a kind of draughts which was not the European game, and which can hardly be account ed for but as another result of the drift of Asiatic civilization down into the I'-,, 77,. ;., f,, ,; , ;, r. a imm; AS rOSTMAN. sir 'I'homas bander, who for many years resided at (i range House.

The .hoirn'il of H'ttfria Mnlini notes the following important facts which ought to le generally kliown : 'Poison : A substance which, when taker! into the stomach, mixed with the hlood. or applied to the skin or flesh, proves fatal or deleterious :J anything infectious or malig nant." Our scissors make the first clip out of Webster for a definition of the greatest evil ns well as the greatest good known in the medical world. " For after the fashion of the oltl saying, "It takes a thief to catch a thief,"' in public system, so in the individual system if one poini has stolen away into the net-work of veins by fair means or 'Tout, there is small hope of recovering one's own, save another poison lie sent after it. All medicines seem to lie more or less poisonous. Hut owing to tho large doses of those classed "less" reijiiired to produce death or even deleterious effects, thev areby the mass of people regarded as harmless, for arsenic, strychnine, opium, chloroform, mer cury and perhaps a few other prominent remetues cover all, to them, dangerous poi sonous. Vet we read in a daily paper of a chiltl suddenly attacked by severe vomiting which the usual remedies failing to check, ends iu exhaustion and death : and the cause j is laid anywhere but at the confectioner's, counter w here the hoy bought his candies ' ami cakes Havered with bitter almond. j "'I he hitter almond is a powerful poison " I A single drop of the essential oil nun cat's tongue made a dead pussy of a living one in j just rive minutes, by experiment. Some del- : i'-ate organizations, especially among chil- i dren, can bear but little of tins essem e, the ! smallest iiuantity producing an eruption like a ncttlerash, it nothing worse, and yet mac- l anions are eaten and given lo children to cat i with impunity, while confectioners are niton, nowadays, using, not the bitter almond, but 1 the essential oil for their flavoring. There i is a "lamiiy connection" between the bitter ' and sweet almond, how close is not easily ! defined, but sullicieitt to show tliat on sonic ' persons the sweet tint on our tallies, if ea'en, i produces an elici t similar to that caused by : the bitter almond. "Fish poison is one of the most singular in , all the range of toxicology." Certain kinds 1 of tish in hot countries are looked upon as j always poisonous. Other kinds are only j poisonous to peculiar constitutions, at oer- ; tain times, and perhaps depending some- : what on the climate. The richer sort of vertebrate tish, though actually eaten with : pet feet safety by mankind in general, are i nevertheless poisonous, either at all times or only occasionally to peculiar individuals. This fact i self-evident to many of us who i have experienced nausea after eating white- llsh, salmon, lobster, etc., at one time or an- other, and instinct is w ise when it heeds the ! hint and declines the poison in future. ! Lead poisoning we are mote familiar with, as some members of our households are ' more susceptible than others to the injurious 1 etfect of water run through lead pipes. Hut ; the poison iu this case, acting slowly and j subtly, is usually classed under the broad I good-naturedly embracing term, "malaria." Those who work in lend mines or in any ! way with lead and absorb its line tlu-t into I their systems, except by the greatest care, I sooner or later have what in general phrase- j olngy is called printers' or painters' paNy. j The habit of children to bite and wet their j lead pencils is often followed by serious re sults, which are more likely to be traced to a j close school room and hard study than to the j lead pencils, slate pencils and chalk they i have munched on tit short intervals live days out of every seven. " j Another of the every-day poisons is found ; in the syrup which is a leading feature of ' the American t'leakfa-t-tahle. 'The use of ; chloride of tin in glucose syrups has been proved hv liiinierous analyses." Think of i that, oh ye who indulge in "gulden drip" : and "maple syrup" mi colt!, wintry morn- ' ings on your hot cakes. Iteware of any syr- . up that leaves a metallic taste in your 1 mouth, lest by me. ins of the sweet liipiid ! our stomach gets a I iu-liuing. and oil. w on- i deling why on earth you have developed , dyspepsia, conclude that it must lie the hot cakes disagree with you.

This market is mainly supplied from Spain, the raisins known as "Malages" being considered the best. They come troin n ooinparativelv narrow strip of country in the South of Spain, which has hitherto been regarded as surpassing all other regions for raisins of that character. The annual ie',,l of Malaga grapes averages "J, J.",ii,nin) boxes of twenty pounds each. It sometimes re .iches ..-.imi.'ikmi Imvcs, ami last season about ',i"i'i.uoo boxes were marketed. f this enormous yield the Fnited States takes fully mie-half. on which it pays a duty as on ail other rnis'ms of '." cents per pound. The American raisins are made from a white grape, the "Muscat of Alexan dria." to the raising of which the soil and climate ot a large portion of California are well adapted. The vine begins to hear some what in the second year, although the full bearing capacity is not developed until it is ."i years old, and continues to bear for half a ' century, and sometimes for seventy-live yea's. In the cultivation of raisin-grapes American grape-growers have little to learn from Spain, but, ia the curing ami packing of the raisins, a lack of experience is still , felt. The raisins are not cured by any arti i lirial process, however, but in a comparative ly simple manner. The grapes are laid mi g"ravcl-hods and exposed to the san for ten or twelve days iu August or Septemner. when ; they are ready for packing. Inning turned from w l 'ne to hrown. and gradually changed ito the familiar dark color of the raisins of ! commerce. The While sugar which is gen i ertliv found attached to the raisins sold inthe i market is entirely a natural product of the i grape, and comes' on w ith age fust appear i ing, as a rule, when the raisins are about two ! ve'ars old. .sacntitii- Amvricnn. .

Looking in through the pupil of the eye he could see a live cysticer cus, or embryo tape worm. This was the first case of the kind in America, and was exhibited to most of the hysicians of Phila delphia. An operation with a knife removed the creature." Evkmnc". DiiKssks. 'flic tendency toward low bodices for cveniiui wear is stronger now than at any periotl for the past twenty years. The most fashionable consist of a square cut-out back and front, the strap liohls the sleeve ascenilin. hfuh upon the slioulder. The boilii e is Ion-;, hollowetl upon the hips ami very much pointed, hack ami front. The skirt is trained, and arranged with small pa niers, which an draped low upon the hips and from a fan shape under the centre of the bodice. A double plaitins: of tine lace is placed upright around the neck and a plait ini; of black lace below, outiiiihu; the square. This style is used for black satin, and also for rich" black silk, the sleeves beim: short ami the arms uncovered. The most fashion able evcnin.sr dresses are now either blacK or white, the stuffs whieh'jtre in mixed colors being reserved for thn wear.

Eighteen years in the people's service r.t the old corner of Sixth, and Market has taught us how to do the business well. Vr i 1 i : ir i It ! & ! p ! k ! In Whatever mav be said, no house in the United States sells any thing bke so much Clothing at Retail as Oak Hall, and no house in Philadelphia sells more than a quarter as many goods as Mr. Wanamaker sells in Clothing alone. Doing this large business shows the people's regard for our goods, and enables us to buy cheaply and sell at small profits. 1 P : L71 l: I In In New patterns have been made this year and new styles intro duced through Mr. Robert C. Ogi'.cn (formerly partner of the famous firm of Devlin & Co., New York), who is now associated with Oak Hall, and will give his whole energies and valuable experience to improving the manufacture of our Hoys' and Men's Clothing. We do not buy Clothing like the dealers, but make it expressly for our own sales. The Spring stock is splendid, and no other make of goods, so far, have as much merit, or are sold as cheaply. ft ri li In ii IM In Impressions have been erroneously given to the effect that Mr. John Wanamaker, who founded Oak Hall, is not interested ir. the old store, and that it docs not have his attention ; on the contrary, his ownership of it remains unchanged, and lie has lost none of his love for it.
