TAKH AXD HOl'SEHOLD. In n.ir.cv-s f..r i.ilk.csor pie.ir-rves, the blossom end should be removed, as this darkens the liquid with which it is cooked. A little bag of mustard laid ou the top or the pickle jar will prevent the vinegar from becoming mouldy if the pickles have ibeen put up in vinegar that has not been boiled. It should alway be remembered that a well-fed cow is a different animal ic many respects from a thin, half starved one, and that her milk is very much bet ter for any and all purposes. A cow in poor condition will be sure to give, poor, thin, inferior milk. Water in which potatoes have been boiled will cleanse delicate colored woollen or worsted goods. The dress should be wet all over. Use no soap. Rinse in clear warm water. Press while still damp. This will not injure the most delicate colors. An agricultural exchange very sen sibly remarked that it will pay farmers to give more attention to white oats. These are in large request for milling purioses ; black oats are not in favor with millers. Oats that will do for the miller as well as for feed, are the surest to bring the best profit. To a correspondent who complains of his apple trees blossoming, but not tearing, an agricultural paper suggests that he throw some hot soapsuds against the trunk of the tree, which, by soaking into the ground among the roots, not only kills injurious insects, tut also Teeds the tree and stimulates to action, and thereby saving the tree. There are fewer cows in proportion to popluation than there were thirty-five years ago. It is to be hoped they aver age better, but even this is not certain. There were more good natives in the olden time than there are now. If we get rid of butter imitations the demand for legitimate butter would increase, and with lessened supplies a great boom would :esu!t to our dairy interests. AM housekeepers know with what pertinacity the flavor of onions clings to the utensil in which they are cooked, even after the most persistent of boiling aff and scouring out. Therefore, if you have a kettle with a notch broken out rr a ekillet with half the handle broken, f IT, do not relegate it to the cellar, but kte p it expressly for cooking onions and nothing e!sf. To make apple custard, make a nice syrup ; cut up the &pp!cs veiy fine and boil them in the syrup, with a peel of lemon, until perfectly transparent ; when done, put the whole into a mould, and the next day it will be solid ; turn it into a glaes dish, and pour over it a rich, soft custard ; if you choose, von can have over it a whip of cream, with bits of colored jelly on top. Kinds of Horses Ilest to Raise Here. At a recent meeting of the Ne w York Farmers' Club, numerously attended by owners of Ine stock, the after-dinner discussion was on the above subject. One member thought the Fercheron horse, as one on which the farmer could be reasonably sure of making a little more than expenses, was about the best for farmers to make a business of rais ing in the Eastern States. It was a breed which could be used at light farm work from two years old until Gt for market, at four, and thus made to pav Tor its keep. This breed of horses had the requisite siza and mussle to be fit for city truck ing work, and they had the peculiar power of impressing their stamp upon all sorts of mares, raising from even a small broncho of COO or 700 pounds a colt that would sometimes weigh 1,000 at a year old, and be of admirable pro portions. The animal Is of great endur ance, coming to maturity early, but should be broktn to halter very soon after birth. The Norfolk roadster was another horse suggestod as admirably adapted for breeding purposes, being short legged, short-backed, sloping-shouldered, thick-bellied, good-booed, clean footed, clean-breasted, with high action and good wind, and a horse which, so far from exclusively English, cculd be. found in Kenturky of a very high grade. Frenchmen themselves preferred such horses to the fercheron, and the governments of Frussia, France and Italy had largely imported this breed to improve their own stock for cavalry purposes. Of English horses there are three general grades, the thoroughbred, the coaching animal, and the nag or roadster, the second being cocsidered the most profitable for farmers to raise. The feeding of ensilage to horses was adveisly commented on by one member, who had lost eight horses thereby in a brief period, the cause of the desease being attributed to ergot iu the corn of which the ensilage was made. Joap Snds as a Fertilizer. It is a ramarkable fact, that in men tioning the various things which posess manurial value and ought, therefore, to be saved In the compost heaps or else where, acoutit is seldom taken of soap suds. In point of fact, soap suds from the laundry and bath room, also all dish water from the kitchen, are of too much value to growing plants to be wasted. A part of virtue of wood ashes, which every one acknowledges to be an excel lent fertilizer, is taken from them by leeching, and the lye, when combined with the fats and oils used in soap mak ing and the grease and dirt extracted by soap suds from various articles cleansed with it, must of necessity have consid erable value as a fertilizer. Saving Bones. Every farmer understands the value of bones as a fertilizer, but when one has not a mill at hand in which to crush or grind them their preparation becomes j an obstacle. There is one method of saving bons in small amounts which should not be overlooked. It is to keep a barrel of Iy convenient, into which all the refuse bones should be dropped. The result is that phosphate of potash will be formed, .vbich, unlike phosphate of lime, is soluable in matter, making one of the most valuable fertilizers known.

The actor with his part, The traveller with his tours, The doctor with his cures All yell unto the press, "Oh, boom us to success ! If only by a hint Just rush us Into print." The ladles would not care Their gorgeous robes to wear. The clergyman would spare Much of his brilliant prayer. The charitable soul Would modify his dole, The heroes of base-ball Would hardly work at all. The " luggers" grim and glum Would sluggards soon become. E'en might our brave police Their efforts slightly cease If all they do and say Wer'n't printed every day I Items Tor the Thontjhtrul. God judges our actions by our motives; men jndtre our motives by our actions. Tbe wealth of a soul is measured by bow much it caD feel ; its poverty by how little. Our glorious aspirations, which give us life, grow torpid in the din of world ly bustle. A pure mind is free of the universe. It belongs to the family of the pure in all worlds.- The mercy that can forgive our iniq uity will never be severe to mark our frailties. Deference is the most complete the most indirect and the most elegant of compliments. Never are buman beings smaller than when they want to plague and punish without knowing how. It is more beautiful to overcome in jury by kindness than to oppose to it the obstinacy of hatred. Nothing sifts and winnows our pref erences and partialities better lhan an imitation of the same by others. A philosopher when smitten must love those who smite him ; as if he were tbe father and brother of all men. Whatever people may think of you, do that which you believe to be rleht. Be alike indifferent to censure or praise. The moment we feel angry controver sy, we have already ceased striving for truth, and begun striving for ourselves. Always meet petulance by gentleness ard perverseness with kindness. A gentle hand can lead an elephant by a hair. To have a portion In the world Is a mercy ; to have it or our portion would be roin. The great use of this world is to make sure of the next. When you go home fill the house with joy, so that the l:ght of it will stream out of the window and doors and illumi nate even the darkness. Trials and sorrows to God's children are like the strong and rough blasts to the ship, which bear it on the more speedily to the heaven of rest. Though the word and the spirit do the main work, yet suffering so unbolts the door of the heart that both the word and the spirit have easier entrance. Depart from the highway, and trans plant thyself in some enclosed ground ; for it is hard for a tree that stands by the wayside to keep her fruit till it be ripe. Superstition makes everything of ordinances ; infidelity, profanity and mysticism make nothing of them ; faith usps them according to the divine ap pointment. The triumphs of truth are the most glorious chiefly because they are themost bloodless of all victories, deriving thir highest lustre from the numder of the saved, not of the slain. The root of religion is the fear of God ; Mie rule of religion is the law of God ; the motive of religion is the love of God ; the end of religion Is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Both wit and understanding are trifles without integrity. The ignorant peas ant without fault is greater than the philosopher with many. What is genius or courage without a heart ? A Romance of the Caster Massacre. Another romance originating in the Custer massacre has been discovered in connection with the gold watch worn by Lieutenant Crittenden, who also perish ed by the vengeful bullets and knives of Sitting Bull's people. The watch was a present which his father. General Crit tenden, had purchased in England some time before. It became the booty of a Sioux warrior, who, In due season, after crossing the line, sold it to a Canadian rancher or farmer. The purchaser,sus pecting there must be some history connected with it, wrote to the maker io England, describing the watch and j stating its number. The maker wrote dsck mat tna watch had been sold originally to General Crittenden, of thfc United States Army. Thereupon the Canadian communicated with the gener al, who promptly repurchased the watch, and it now hangs in his bedroom in New York city, a sad memorial of the fate that befell bis brave boy. 'ir Yonr 'Art be True." Kosma Vokes, tbe actress was asked for her autograph the other day. An album was sent up to her room. As she turned the leaves over, where numerous members of the profession had left spec imens of their chirography, she paused before the following : "Art is a Boddegfl, artists are her nieh priests. He wbo follow, her withoat rever ence is a blasphemer." CJito, Art I. Wilsoi Barrett The "art" was written in verv laree. bold letters, and Miss Vokes chuckled as J sne wrote on the blank page facing Mr. Barrett's effusion : No matter what you do, if your 'Art be true- Rosisa Vokes. There are 172 soecimens of blind creatures known to science. Including crayfish, myriapods, etc. They are mostly white, whether from lack of stimulus of the light, or from bleaching out of the skin. Some species have small eyes and Bome have none. Emmons Blaine, tbe second son of nis ,ftber ha jnst been appointed Gen eral Freight and Passenger Agent of the Chicago, Santa Fe and California Rail way Company with headquarters at Chicago. UTTERLY DISCOURAGED expresses) the feeling of many victim of rheamatiaTO, neuralgia, sciatica and ner TOia or sick headache. Haviog tried numberless so-called remedies, and physi cian! of all schools, without relief, there seems to be no hope. Many such have as a last resort tried Athlophoros, and to their surprise and joy hare found that it was a tafr, sure and quick cure. Athlophoros is not an experiment; thousands have been cured by its use and ther testify as to its value. Shekomeko, Dutchess Co. JJ. Y. Aujr. 20, '8G I took Athlophoros according to direc tions; it caused a ringing in my ear that was not pleasant, it operated on my heart causing a slower and fainter throb, and constipated my bowels. When the last dose was taken I did not think much of the medicine; the next day my lameness' was better, and continued getting less until it left me. My lameness was in my back, shoulders and neck, and had been for eight months. I was advised to try Athlopho ros by my neighbor, Wm. Jackson, who bad taken a bottle of it for a severe attack ofltmeness in his shoulder and arm. He said "it drove the lameness right out of me; my head felt strong, and my heart almost stopped beating ; 1 thought I would die, but I came out all right, and have not had any lameness since." Amon Briggb. Phelps, N. Y., August 13, 1886. I am a practicing physician ; I pre scribed Athlophoros in a case of inveterate rheumatism of the right shoulder and arm. This case had been of weeks standing yes months and resisted medicine carefully selected, also the use of electric treatment. One bottle removed all the trouble. The case remains well, now over a year since using the medicine. G. C. Trichard, M. D. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be boueht of the druggist the Athlo phoros Co.T 112 Wall St., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which ia $1.00 per bottle for Athlophoros end 50c. for Tills. t For liver and kidney disease, dyspepda, m difrartion, weakness, nervous debility, diaeaKea of women, constipation, headache, impure blood, Ac., A thlopboros Pills are un equaled- 9 II.GH'iLDS&GO.

It was only a simple ballad, Sung to a careless throng; ' There was none that knew tbe singer And few that heeded tbe song ; j. Yet the sineer's voice was tender And sweet as with love untold ; Surely those hearts were hardened That It left &o proud and cold. ' She ?ant of the wondrous glory That touches the woods in sprinj Of the strange, soul-stirring voices When "the hills break forth and sfti;' Of the happy bird9 joy warbling The requiem of the day, And the quiet hush of the valleys ' In the dusk af tbe gloaming gray: And one in a distant corner A woman worn with strife ; Heard in that song a message ' From the springtime of her life. Fair forms rose up before her From a mist of vanished vean ; ; She eat in a happy blindness, i Her eyes were veiled In tears. Then when the sone was ended, ; And hushed the last sweet toDe, t The listener rose up softly i. And went on her way alone. Once more to ter life of labor I She passed, but her heart was strooi And she prayed. "God bless the 9in: And oh, thank God for the song !' Side-Saddles. The use of side-saddles is said to-ave been commenced In England abon: the year 1388, in the reign of Richard II. Before and up to that time ladies ere accustomed to ride on horse-back i.the same position as meti. f I never tried the experiment of t-ing on a side-saddle, but it seems to me bat it ia at ?east doubtful whether aaj im provement was affected by the intrciuc tion of these saddles into Englan4,and therefore I may, perhaps, be pernited to bring under tbe consideration af?our readers tbe question as to whether It might not be advisable to abandon tbe use of them and to adopt the mod? of riding on horseback which was in sue previous to the period above refe'fei to. A rider on a side-saddle is oMigti to advance the left shoulder in orje: to "ait square," and this turning roiil of the head and shoulders to the fc?ht, while the legs remain on the left p!9 of the saddle, brings the body into a Viral or twisted form. Spinal comckats. arising probably from various ci'.ses, j are very common among women, Ml to remain for a long time in the poe ion alluded to may tend to increase the number of cases wich occur. Severe injuries sometimes emue:rom a rider being thrown above the crttch, or pommel, and then coming dovn on the upper part of it, aDd occasioily from j the pommel being forced into tie ichest of the rider, if tbe horse falls on bis near, or left side. An accident of the latter sort happened in Taris in April, I 1SS2, to a professional circus ride', Mile. Emilie Loisset. A new horse which Bhe had been trying In the circus laving refused to leap an artificial fVnee or barrier, turned round to regan the stable, but Cniing tbe door of i: closed reared and fell, causing the porcnel of the saddle to enter the chest of tb rider. It is stated that "Doctors were fon in in attendance, but ouly to pro.ounce Mile. Loisset's case hopeless. Tie un fortunate young lady expired afte- some thirty hours terrible suffering." .' The skirts of the habits are often caught on the crutch, or pomcel, if riders are thrown, and the latt-r are then liable to be dragged alor; the ground. There are always many nders, :lso, who are inexperienced or uaKilful and who lean the greater part of their weight on the stirrup, thus ptssing down the saddles on one side and csising sore backs to the horses. I belief that there is a large number of horse-men who are convinced that some advacages would result from the use of tha side saddle beirg discontinued, althongtthey hesitate to carry it into practice, incon sequence of dislike that it may be sup posed many of them have to the id-a of appearing on horseback In a style wiich would be regarded as a novel one li the present day. This dislike would plia bly be diminished if It were to bee me more known to the geneial pubic. through the medium of your coluans, that the wish referred to exists. ITor riding on a cross-saddle the riding cos tume would, of course, have to be Ut tered. A dress rather resembling ttat worn by ladies at gymnasiums might be the most suitable. Some practice S. a riding school should be gone throtujh before venturing on the road. A "Drummer" In Sunday-School. "A Boston 'drummer" says that le wa? nerer cornered in his life, butle came near it once, when he was calPd on to make a speech before a Sunday School. fcI was spending my yacation lst iummer in New IIampshire.M he said "I went fishing: one day on the tovn pond, and, as luck would have it, one of tbe Sunday-schools went on a picnic to the same place A big thunderstorm came up and e were all driven for shelter to a farmer's house near by. V e all crowded around the open Ire place to get dry, I was complexly drenched, and got so close to the Ire that its warmth soon put me asleep, i Fretty soon some one tugged at by shoulder and hauled me on my feet ;lt was the occupant of the house. Said be to the school which was crowded rounl : Mr. , from Boston, will say a few words.' 41 'What shall I say?" I aked, tailf awake and badly confused. 4 Oh, say three words to them sad he. ; " A11 right,' I replied. 'Children,1 1 will say three words to you, only thr words,' I began, and then I stuck. ; 14 OcIy three words I began agab. But t-bre words did Dot come, and tie expectant' school seeing my plight begin to grin. 1 "Then I suddenly recollected an ex perience at Cape Cod. "Children I began for the third time, CI will make it only three letters Instead of three words. I once heard a Superintendent at Cape Cod tell lis school about the letters which he said made the word that Sunday-school children should revere above all thinrs. 'Can you guess tbe word, Mary " said he. "Can't you, Johnny ? It is only three letters. Come now it is simple and easy ; I-u-v' love is the word " Ebentborf Irrssnn ft. R. tnda. LliVCS N OSTBS AID.

White, the fastest stenogra pher in the world, who was reported missing from his home in New Yoik last week, has been found in Chicago in a high state of indignation against the man who attributed his absence to opium. There is a rumor in London that the Emperor of Geimany will abdicate Lis throne on the 2'2ni instant, but in this country it is thought be abdicated some time since. Even in portions of Ger many it is believed that tbe Emperor's name begins with a B. After Mme. Xilssou's marriage ia Paris on Saturday, the wedding party drove to a hotel where a quiet breakfast was served. "I shall Dot sing any more in public, said the newlv-made countess, "except''' and she hesitated "well, perhaps once in a while for charity.' Ex-Senator Dorsey gave a magniEcent dinner at his hotel in LoDdon, at which covers were laid for forty-ffur quests. Tbe table was decorated lavishly with rare flowers and fruits, and the mena cards were painted with a separate de sign, that of Mrs. Xallie Grant Sartoris havine a very correctly paitted portrait of her father. Lord LansJowne has cabled his Eng lish agent to offer his tenants reductions of fifteen per cent, on the judicial ""Dt3, and twenty-five on the others, but with the condition that they pay half the cost of all his tfforts to compel them to pay the full rents. The tenants declina this condition, because these costs will be more thBn tbe proposed reductions will amount to. Meadville proposes to erect a statue to tLe memory of Gen.

The torpedo is driven by a self-containtd chemical motor, is guided by a rudder and two wires, l;ke tiller ropes, aad is believed to be worth all the rest of the torpedoes in the world put together. An irreverent newspaper correFpond ent, writing from Washington, eays the reason President Cleveland objects to appointing Eairchild as Secretary Man ning's successor, is that on the 4th of March, when the President went to the Capitol to wait on Congress, be saw Mr. Fairchild going about wearing a mono clue, and he afterwards observed that it looked dudish, and beneath the dignity of a man who aspired to be at the head or the Treasury Department. Practical Tolitics. Col. II. G. Williams, of North Caroli na, is a grandson of Col. Arrington, an old-t ime Lemocrat, who used to repre sent Ashe county, years before the war. In the Upper House of the General Assembly. Duiic?one campaign, over fifty years ago, Arrington and Drake were contesting candidates, and none but freeholders being allowed to vote for State Senators reduced the electors to such a small number that a single vote sometimes decided the issue. Major Floyd was a strong friend of Col. Ar rington, and while visiting the latter one morning, looked out and saw coming a gentleman of tbe name of Underwood, whose sympathies were all in favor of Drake. "We must win Underwood to our side," said Arrington to Flovd. "When lie comes in, I will ask you both to take a drink ; of course you'll both agree. I will step out to draw a pitcher of apple brandy. While I'm gone you must in sult UDderwood. Tell him he's a rascal to drink a gentleman's brandy and then vote against him. In the midst of the row I'll return. You appeal to me and I'll take Underwood's part. You leave In high dudgeon, and as you do so swear you are going to vote for Drake, and I'll see to the rest or tbe performance." It all came off according to the pro gramme. Col. Arrington returning to his guests with the apple brandy, found them at the poiut of coming to blows. He turned on his friend Floyd for having wantonly insulted Mr. Underwood. "It doesn't matter," Sriid be, "how my neighbor Underwood - votes. Yon are clearly in the wrong. I invited him to drink, sir, and it was none of your business whether be is for me or against me. Leave my hon3e." As Floyd went out he shouted back. : "Yon've lost my vote for good and all, I'll give you to understand, Colonel Arrington !" "It doesn't make a d d bit of dif ference if you have," roared Underwood turning to Col. Arrington. "I'll let Drake go to the devil this time, and Tote for you. No man shall lose any thine by taking my side in a difllcnlty, and treating me as a gentlemen." The little by-play was a complete success. Col. Arrington made a rote by it, and was elected.
