One who knows makes it a point to

REUABLR RECEIPTS. —For corns, easy
shoes ; for bile, exercise ; for rheuma
tism, new flannel and patience; for goat,
toast and water: for the toothache, a
dentist ; for debt, industry ; and for
love, matrimony.
Pout.—A Willow Creek, Montana,
correspondent ask* if it will pay" to pro
duce pork in a country where wages are
soo a month, and grain from two to
three cents a pound. Pork made on such
a basts would have to sell for from 20 to
25 cents a pound to make it profitable.
RAKED Ami Drnruso. Choere
large rasset or sour apples that cook ten
der; peel and quarter them, take oat the
cores and use one apple to a dumpling.
Viuch your pie-crust well, greise your
pie-pan, set your dumplings right side up;
do not let them touch each other; set
Ihvm in your oven and bake a delicate
brown. Est hot, with any saice you
prefer.
IDissolve a bnshel af salt in a barrel of
water, and with the salt water slack a
barrel of lime, which should be wet
enough to form a kind of paste. For
the purpose of a direnfeetant this home
mi.de chloride of lime is nearly as good
as that purchased at tlie shops aud drug
stores. Use it freely about sinks, eel
lais, gutters, and out-h oases, ami. iu
this way, prevent sickness, suffering and
expense.
FILTERS AND FILTERING.— In even
well-appointed kitchen, there are tin or
procehun funnels. For filtering watery
fluids it is only necvsssry to insert, in
th<? choke of the funnel, a V-shaped
piece of fiae sponge. AH the liquids, on
lwing put iuto the funnel, will pass
through the sponge and become quite
clear. When this effect ceases the
s'wvnee must be removed and well
elexned.
GRAFTON MILK Biscrrra.—Boil and
prate two whole potatoea ; add two tea
spoonfnlls of brown supar ; pour boilinp
water over these enough to soften them.
When tepid, add oue small teaenp of
yeast; when light, warm three ounce*
of bntter in one pint of milk, a little
salt and flour enongh to make a stiff
sponge; when risen, work it on the
board, put it back in the tray to rise
again ; when risen, roll it into cakes and
let them stand half an hour. Bake in a
quick oven. These biscuits are perfect.
FARE or CISTERNS.— Water . may be
preserved pure and wholesome in rain
water cisterns by letting the supply-pipe
connect nt the bottom of the cistern.
The fresh water being heavier than that
already in the cistern, will force the stale
water" to the top so that it can be nsed
before it becomes offensive. It is well
known, however, that cistern water be
comes impure from the organic matter it
contains, and if this can bo got rid of
by destroying its vitality and precipitat
ing it to the bottom, it will leave the
water pare. It is claimed that there is
nothing better to effect this than per
manganate of potassa, nsed in the pro
jportion of about an onnce to 50 gallons
of water. This causes the inorganic
matter to sink to the bottom an innox
ious sediment. Bnt the permanganate
must be continued as long as the water
lias a purplish appearance, indicating
that the offensive matter has not all been
precipitated. Though this is not a poi
sonous drag, and is we believe in no
way hurtful, still no more should be nsed
than necessary. Every druggist has it
tor sale. Care must be taken to have
the cistern thoroughly cleaned ont at
least twice a year, as well as the troughs
upon the building supplying the water.
A HINT WORTH HERD WO. —I went
into Bwampscot's tool-house yesterday
to get ont of the rain. His gras is cut,
and he will have nc farther nse for his
mower. The orthodox way of doing
with a mower on many farms is to mi
hitch from it where the last hay catting
is done, and leave it in the field. * Swamp
scot must be a heretic. I found his
mower ] Kicked away in one corner of the
tool-bouse as snuglv as if it had been
there when the tool-boose was built, and
had never cat anv grass. I noticed it
had been thoroughly cleaned and bear
ings oiled. I rather liked the idea. I
said so. Swamp# cot said : "Why, that's
the way I make money. I've used that
mower six summers, and it's a better
mower to-day than Joe Peet's, that he
bought last year; his lay in the field
until November, and was'tben put into
nil open shed, where the sheep ran and
the hens roosted. It was a nice looking
object this Spring, and I know he ex
pended SI ") upon it before be could make
it inn. Why. sir, he never took the
sickle ont of it from the time be quit
using it until he wanted to nse it again ;
nor did he oil it" I noticed the hoes,
cultivators, harrows, plows, etc., etc.,
weieall snngly pat away by Swampscot.
I mention these little things that yon
may know why lie has the reputation of
being a thrifty, thorough, liberal farmer.
To FIXD THE WEIOHT or LIT* CATTLE.
First, see that the animal stands
square, then with a string take his cir
cumference just behind the shoulder
blade, and measure the feet and inches
—this is the qirth. Then measure from
the bone of the tail which plumb* the
line with the hinder pait of the buttock,
and direct the string along the bock to
fore part of the shoulder blade, and
this will be the Ln,jlk.— Then work the
figures thus : Suppose girth of bollock
6 feet 4 inches, length 6 feet 3 inches,
which multiplied together make 23
square superficial feet, and these multi
plied by 23—the number of ponnds al
lowed for each superficial foot of cattle
measuring leas than seven and more than
five feet in girth—make 759 pounds.
When the animal measures less than
snd more than seven feet in girth, 31, is
the number of pounds to be estimated
te each superficial foot And suppose a
small animal to meaanretwo feet in girth
and 2 feet in length, these multiplied
together make four feet, which, multu
plied by 11—the number of pounds al
lowed for each square foot when the
cattle measure less than three feet in
girth—make 44 pounda. Again, sup
pose a calf or sheep etc., measure 4 feet
6 inches in girth, and 3 feet 8 inches in
length ; that multiplied together makes
16 square feet, and these multiplied by
16—the number of pounds allowe* 3 for
cattle measuring less than 5 and more
than 3 feet in girth—make 356 ponnds.
The dimensions in girth and length of
the baek of cattle, sheep calves, and
hogs, taken this way, are as exact as is
at ail necessary for common computation
or valuation of stock, and will answer
to the foilr quarters of the animal, sink
ing llie offal A deduction must be
made fbr animals half fat, of one pound
ift twenty from those that are fat; and
for a cow that has had calves, one pound
must be allowed in addition te the roy*
for not being fat, upon every twenty!*'

Jsw York Dry W<**
We here had e dull end unsatisfactory
week In the dry goods market with but
few exception*. The flani'iM houses
made a revision of prices on Thandiy,
of en average decline of < i |H i r cent.,
which on low ami medium grade*, made
a marked diflcrence with buyer*, and
their business for the balMiee of the
week waa quite active and tery aatiafac
tory. Other woolens have not been
changed in quotation*, and the traftlo in
olotha, coatings au.l oaaaimeres luut been
very limited. Ik eskitm were in better
request and aouie favorite makes keep
well sold up.
Tho market for domestic cotton fa
brics haa been weak. There have tioen
uo marked indioationa of a break of
prices, but there are murmuring*, ami
at any moment the market ia prepared
to hear of some immense transactions at
very much reduced quotations.
Brown Sheetings and Shirtings of
standard weights have been hel*l with
more firmness tlian other cotUW. aa the
supply is uot thought lob* equal to the
I demand that must sooner or later come
I forward. But up to the present time
! the market is considerably in surplus of
I requirements.
Bleached Hoods have IHVU very iuae
j tiTC during the whole week.
Tick*, Stripes and checks, a* with all
; colored cottons, have remained dull,
1 without much injury, but at these goods
! are net expected to partake of a lively
market during the season, holders uiau-
I sfest but little regarding them.
Brown Sheetings and Shirtings have
lieen iu fair demand, especially for
sheetings to fill immediate orders for
current want*.
Cotton Flannels.—The demand for
j these good* has been and is yet very
J limited.
Cotton bag* are still without any spe
oial movement
Cotton Yarns did not rally from the
weakness noticed last week, and a slight
reduction of lc. per pound was made,
and flue numbers to which value the
coarser uuuiberawill equalize.
Rolled Jaconets aud Cambric*. — j
Holders of jaconets have been greatly
disappointed in the business for the
week. They had bees led from a revi- \
sion of their prices aud other indications
to anticipate an active week, but from
some unexplained cause, the amount of
business will not aggregate in sales with 1
the previous week.
Printing Cloths.—This Market still
tends to lower prices. Some few sales
were made during the week, but printers
are as susceptible to a weak market as
buyers of prints, and if printed goods
are liable to a sudden dcenne, uo large
operations in gray cloths will probably
be effected on a basis of 7 7-tLiHc. for Ci
! squares. We therefore continue to re
' port the market dull and inactive.
Prints. —More business has been done
I in these goods, than would naturally lie
supposed from the general tone ot the
market during the week. Some houses
report a fair business uearly up to their
productions, but we And it generally lim
ited amougoue or two popular brands,
that some portion of the trade considers
' cheaper than other staudard good* when
j quotations are the same. The general
; market has been comparatively dull, but
, probably more business has been trans
acted in'this branch than any of the oth
ers in the cotton goods line. Prices
j have been reduced to llie. by the Paci
: tie Company, the American Print Works
and the Hartels; otnere remaiu firm at
! former quotatious,but mostly under pro
! teetiou.
Ginghams.—The market for these
goods can hardly be said to be opened.
The demand is not yet commence*!, and
in the meantime holders are qniet and
firm.
SPANISH PRISONS. —The details depict
ing the horrors of Spanish prisons, says
' the letter of a correspondent, would oe
i cupy mnch more spacetlian is allotted me
' in your colnmus, were they not, indeed,
too revolting to be narrated. Imngio-'
j low, loug. dark, narrow balls, crowded
■ past excess with living, restless masses
of homaaitv, personating crime, sorrow.
| remorse, revenge, despair anil donbt,
without any one redeeming element of
redemption, reform, or regeneration.
i Imagine that each one of these half
! naked, hungTy human being* is in a state
| of tilthincss inconceivable, iufest.il with
every possible variety of vermin, since
baths are uuknown in such regions and
wash-basins as well. Imagine that the
only admonitions ever addressed to the
criminals ore the orders of the overseers,
accenqmnied by threats, oath, insults
and blows, security from retaliation,
being made sure by the revolvers with
; which the jailors are aided, and the con
stant presence of a detachment of mili
tary force. Imagine the fetid emanations
from inch a place, the constant brawls
of the prisoners, the shouts of the over
seer*, and the deafening rluiking of the
immense chains with which many are
; loaded, and some faint idea will be form
| ed of the interior of a Spanish prison.
A STOBT OF BEECHBB.— The follow
ing story is told of Henry Ward Beeehcr
bv one of his sisters. He was about
eleven years old, and was attending
school. The teacher was drilling her
pupil in the rudiments of grammar, but
he seemed fonder ot fan than stndy.
" Now, Henry," said she, " A is the in
definite article, yon see, and must be
used only with the singular number.
You can say 'a man," but you can't say
•a men,'can you?" " Yes, I can say
'amen,' too," was the rejoinder. "Father
says it always at the end of his prayers."
"Come, Henry, don't lie joking; decline
'he.** "Nominative he, possessive hi,
objective him." " Yon see, 'his' is pos
sessive. Now yon can say ' his book,"
bat yon cannot say ' him book.' " "Yes,
I do say ' hymn book,' too," said the
impracticable pupil, with a quizzical
twinkle. Each one of these sallies made
his young teacher laugh, which was the
victory he wanted. " But now. Henry,
seriously, just attend to the active and
passive verb. Now, 1 1 strike' is active
yon see, because if you strike you do
something. But, 'I am struck is pas
sive, because if yon are struck yon don't
do anything, do you?" " Yea, I do; I
strike back again."
LOOK TO Torn IxsraastK.—This is
always good advice; but it is particularly
so at this season. Many fanners have a
good deal of property, in the form of
wool, hay, and grain, exposed to fire, that
is not covered by insurance, because they
expect to keep it only a short time. 11
they can afford to be their "own Insnrers,"
all very well. But if a fire would cripple
them, it us the part of wisdom to be at
least partially Insured. We fear that many
farmers have property that they think is
insured which their policies do not cover.
Your wool or grain may lie insured in one
barn bnt not in ansther, and you may
have overlooked and forgotten the fact.
If you are going to thrash with a steam
engine, see if it does mt invalidate your
policy. There is little or no risk from a
properly constructed engine, but it is a
very unpleasant thing when you think you
are insured to burn np and find that there
is a clause in the policy that forfeits your
claim.
How AHE TOC?— The Fadncah Jtiw
tells this story, for the trnth of which it
vouchee: A professional gentleman
well known in thin city, had not seen lila
son for a long period of time, owing to
the fact that the latter retired to l>ed ere
the former returned home, nnd in the
morning the father always left l>efore
the son got ont of bed. One morning
-the lady of the lionse managed to get
the father and son together at the break
fast table,and byway of a joke remarked,
"Son, let me introduce yon to yonr fa
the~.' "How do yon do, father?" said
the hopeful; "I don't rememember ever
having met you before but I have heard
ma speak of you,"
A four-year-old female went into a
drug store the other day, and said to the
proprietor iD a half-whisper: "If a lit

Claris*! Anecdotes
The following anecdote* have nsvar
bsm in print, st least ths first three have
not. The last one 1 heard In Scotland,
and oannot vouch lor. Ths others came
under mv own personal knowledge r
In the south of New Jersey, some
years ago. there travelled over aotne of
the hardest counties a good, faithful,
hard • working brother, named James
Moore, or Jitutnv Moore, as lie was fa
niiliarly culled, lie was devoted to the
itinerancy. A true, loval Methodist,
plain, j minted and sharp in all his
preaeliiug aud exortation*.
lie had IHH'H tailoring a year on one of
' his circuits, and, before leaving for his
' new field, he gave his people, who doer
j ly loved him, uis farewell sermon,
\t the close he said : "My deer btvth
ren, this is my last address to yon. T
am going from you, and vou may never
hear the voice of James Moore again. *'
"Amenl came loudly from the seat
i behind him.
He looked at the man with a little
surprise, but, tliiukiug it was a mistake,
| went on.
"My days on earth will soon lie uuui
hered. lam an old man, aud you may
| not onlv never hear the voice of J sines
Moore out never see his face again.
"Amen !" was shouted from the same
! seat more vigorously than Ivefore,
There was no mistaking the design
; now. The preacher leoked at the man ;
' he knew him to lx> a hard, grinding man
—stingy and merciless to the ]**<r
He continued his address : "May the
Ixml bless all those of you who have
done your duty, who have honored him
with roar substance, who have lieen
kiud to the jHKir, and—"
Pausing and looking the intruder
. straight in the eye, and pointing to hiui
; with his linger :
"May hiseturae rest on those w ho have
cheated the D-rd and ground the poor
: under their heel*. Say ameu to that,
j brother !"
The sliot told. He was not iuter
' rtiptod again.
I one*' went with Rev. Mark Trafton, i
| the celebrated New England preacher, |
to hear Albert Barnes deliver a discourse
111 Iwlialf of the American Sunday School
Union. The evening was hot, the ser
j rice* were long and tiresome, and when
j the sermon commenced it was time to go
j home. . ;
Mr. Barnes was annoyed at this, and
; in commencing his serinou said : "M. v
i discourse is dividel into three |art*.
He then stated them. "For want of
! time I shall omit the first ; for the same
j reason I shall bo compelled to omit the
! second."
At this moment Traftou arose, his tall
: form looming up iu all its stateUn***,
I ind turning to me he said : "For the ,
same reason I shall omit the third," and
, walked out of the church.
In a Pennsylvania town there was an
excellent but "eccentric clergyman named
| Ross. He was about taking a collection
for some especial object, aad had plea
[ devl warmly in its behalf.
"My brethren." be said, "1 want you
all to "give liberally to-night ; none of
! your pennies or five-cent pieces, but let
1 1 every one give a quarter; aud, to ret
I you a good example, 1 will give tho first
myself," dropping a twenty-five cent
' 1 piece in the basket.
After the collection was taken he
lifted up the batketa, lootel them over
' carefully, and theu remarket!: "I see
that my quarter is Hie only oue here, so
! I shall take it buck again." which he did.
' , and put it in his pocket with evident
disgust at their meanness.
A quaint Scotch minister was given

Soon after lie was describing £amp
-1 son's tying the foxes' tails together, lie
said, "The foxes in those days were

"Ahem !' came from the clerk's desk.
"That is," continued the preacher,
1 "according to their measurement; but
1 by ours they were fifteen fut long.'"
"Ahem !" louder than before,
j "But, as you may think this is extrava

i j A FALSE ALARM.— During the siege of
Gibraltar, iu the rbsenee of the fleet, aud
1 when an attack was daily exi>ected, one
dark night, a sentry whose post was near
the Devil's Tower, and facing the Sp n
-1 isb lines, was stauding at the end of his
■ walked, whistling, looking towards them.
.! his head filled with nothing but fire and
sword .minor*, breaches, storming and
bloodshed ! Bj the side of his box stood
a deep, narrow necked earthern jog, in
which was the remainder ol his supper,
consisting of boiled peas.
A large monker, encouraged by the
man's silence, and* allured bv the smell
of the peas, ventured to the Jug. and in
endeavoring to get at its contents, thrnst
his head so far into the neck as to be un
able to withdraw it. At this instant the
soldier turning ronnd. came whistling
toward his box ; the monkey, unable to
get clear of it, started up to run off with
the jug sticking on his head.
This terrible apparition no sooner
•aintod the eyes of the sentry, thnn his
frantic imagination conv. rted poor pug
into a fine, fdood thirsty Spanish grenu
•lier, with a most tremendous high cap
on his head. Pull of this dreadful idea,
he instantly fired his piece, roaring out
that the enemy had realcd the walls.
The guard took the alarm, the drums
were beat, signal guns fired, and in less
than ten minutes the governor and his
whole garrison were under arms.
The supposed grenadier, being very
much incommoded by his cap, and
almost blinded by the peas, was scon
overtaken aud seized, and by his capture
the tranquillity of the garrison was re
stored without that slaughter and blood
shed which every man prognosticated in
the beginning of the direful alarm.
IUHANITT. —Two business men of St.
Charles, Min::., Mr. 11. W. Herupsted
and Mr. Franz Sehores, have l>ec<me de
ranged from exjioenro to the hot sun
last week. They visited New-Ulm to
look up lands in that vicinity, and rode
some distance in an open buggy, exposed
to the burning heat which prevailed
throughout the State at that lime. Soon
after returning to their homes they
showed signs of differing with mentid
del ingement, ami I><>tli jipfienn-d to be
affected iri a similar manner. They
seemed to know their friends, but were
infatuated with great schemes of amass
ing great fortunes. Mr. Hempsted has
Ween taken to Ht. Peter, and it is believed
that with proper medical treatment ho
will soon recover. Mr. Sehores was
suliaequently taken in charge by
Deputy Sheriff Crippen, and placed in
jail, as it was not considered safe for him
to lie at large. Soon after dinner he
made a violent attack to break out, and
with all the fury of a madman, assaulted
the door with an empty keg, which was
used as a seat in the corridor by the
prisoners. The officers, with Assistance,
secured him in a cell.
WHAT A LITTLE CAKKLESSSSSS DM
To show how serious a conflagration
may spring from asm J1 cause, the great
oil fire on Hunter's Point is given. A
river barge received two thousand bar
rels of refined oil, and was preparing to
leave, lhe Captain's wife was arrang
ing the beds in the cabin aft, when
some of the slothes came in contact with
the stove and ignited. The woman with
her two children rushed on deck and got
ashore. Before the alarm had been
properly given the boat with the oil was
in flames. A German boat near by with
1,600 bbls. on board caught fire, ami
from this the flames spread to barges,
sheds, and to the eil works themselves,
making a complete wreck of them, de
stroying an immense amount f prop
erty, and throwing huadreds of men
out of employment.
Children as* curiously pertinent ques
tions sometimes, without knowing it.
Some youngsters were watching the pro

FEMALE FARM LAROREBS —Start a

concerning a female landowner, near

the round* of Hie whole American press

Waste whole street* are made up of these

They have about a* much refinement and

our women take to the plow and hoe,
and we shall noon have districts in which
they would rival these muscular female*

from Penob*rot, in Maine, a yirnag or*
' ph AU girl, who, after I ainLv striving to
inniL'tain herself comfortably n( home
by school- teaching, had tlwitW to essay
tlie fort -i ne* of a factory girl in a Larger
city. Filtering the lioop-akirt mantifac
tory of n private firm in Bbaton. *li<-
devoted all her energies to * mastery of
the business, that her confinement to
mere drudgery might not !© long pro

year's time she wns promoted to the
i jiositiou of Bolcwoiaau.
i In twuTcan her snjierior mental ca
' purity and jiruetiral fuet made her the
(chief saleswoman of the establishment,
und through this last position she WHS
brought to the acquaintance of a certain
rich, California merchant, buying good*
I for bis store in Han Francisco. The
; acquaintance maturod into a mutual
regird of a graver nature. The girl,
well as she was doing, had a woqjau'n
natural yearning for wotuan'a domestic
kingdom, and when the Californiun
j closed hi* business account for the time
by usking the saleswoman t# go lwick to
Hon Francis o with him na hi* wife she
; yielded a gracnfnl assent After n quiet
j wedding the two departed together for
I the Pacific roast, where the ensuing four
j years were passed in all tho harmony
' and prosjienty reqnisito for the smooth
j est profttsa of uisrried life.
llie wife now of n rich ninn, snd the
\ possessor of abilities ami JHTSOIIHI couie
{itißßs to grace n high social station, the
j former factory girl assumed a commnnd
i ing jiosition in the society of her new
i home and became a leader iu matters of
j aristocratic taste and fashion. After
four years the Americanism of her des
i tiny found tragic demonstration. Home
mouths ago her husband was tempted
' into one of those cxtravngnn* mining
speculations which are the bnne #f Cali
fornia, and ent* red too deep to Vie able
to withdraw before the collnjis# and
!crush.
In a few hours of sinking values he
was dragged down from wealth to pov
erty, and revenged hiraaalf upon fortune
by committing suiride. • The sound of
the fatal pistol shot awoke the bereaved
wife from her four years' dream of hap-
Einess and plenty to the old realitv of
er girlish homeliness and want. The
expenses of the self destroyer's burial
left her witli barely enough remaining
from recent wealth to secure her return
to Boston, where she is once more work
ing for a livelihood as though the Cali
fornia episode had never blighted her
existence.
