FARM, HARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Htlrhen ■argra. The care of hot-beds and cold-frr.mos, nnd sowiig of UMIII for early plants, will lie the work in Northern gardens. Manure should lie turned over often, and mad flue before applying ; it is difficult to sow seeds in a soil where tin mannre is coarse, as it will imjiede the rake or seed-sower. Asparagus beds that were covered with manure in the fall, ahould have the coarse litter raked off, and tlio fine forked in early, l>efare the plants start. Do not plant Wans before the soil g ts warm, as the cold, damp aoil will ot the seeds. Sow beets early atul thickly, so that the thinnings mav l>e nsod as spinach. Frosts do lint little harm. Sow ealiliage in the hot bed for modi nm early, and set out plants from the cold-frame in well manured soil; moder s' ly jurist and strong aoil is much bet ter than a light, saudy one. Set out eanliflower plants from the o i.l frame the same as ouhhages, and give them a rich place. They must Ih< <. her an early or a l ite crop, onr strong sun being injurious to their growth. Sow celery seeds iu hot-bed if early prints are wanted, or in the open ground. Corn will not stand frost, or damp, e -14 soi l; do not plant before the ground ia Iry and warm. Cucumbers may lv> started in pots or - quarea of sod in the hot-bed, and wt , out when the weather has become suits I ! -, or if one has hand frames, a fe* lolls may lie planted for extra early. Sow grass or peppergrass for use as r. t-ulad. If the li'ack "tea" is ahund ant, it is of no use to try it Egg plant seeds may yet be sown it hot-bed. Do not set plants in the opet. ground until it is thoroughly wanned. Look out for the "potato beetle," whirl, at:iu-ks these plants even in preference to the potato, and will soon destroy them if not hand picked. Kohl rabi is seldom seem in gardeus; its culture is as easy as that of turnips, and no one who has tried it will fail to have it every year. It should always grow quickly, and be eaten while young. Sow looks the same as onions. When large enough, thin to six or eight inches in the row. and scj out the thinnings at the same distance. Set out lettuce plants from the cold j frame in rich, warm soil, and sow seeds I for second crop.— Africidturut. Thr Knli liu^ra. Let every person who hsoi a bit of C round plant one grapevine at least this spring, as with a little care in train j i'.-'g and pruning for two or three years, : sill seldom fail to produce an abund a nee of fruit. The auil for grapesahoulu not be rich with stable manure, bat nst ground bones, or wood ashes. The first year allow only one shoot to grow, and the fall eat this bach to two or three buds; the next season allow only twv of these to grow. The first year a vice b am, only allow two bunches to each / .rot, as more will exhaust the vine. Tuere are many other ways of training. 1 the vine can be adapted to the lo cality. Dwarf trees which require any pran g should be attended to now, before (he buds start; avoid catting off any '.irge branches until June, when they may be taken off with safety; cover the wounds with shellac varnish or melted rafting wax. The roots of blackberries spread so fast and far that where it is possible they should l>e planted in a spot a little aside from the rest of the garden, so that they will not interfere with the growth of other plants. Provide strong stakes to which to tie the canes, and do them to grow more than five ..it high, with Intend branches cutback t. • eighteen inches. Set from six to eight feet apart, each way. Set raspberries in rows from four to six feet apart, and three to five feet in the row. One of the best ways to sup port them is by a strong wire stretched ..long the line of the row and fastened securely to well braced posts at each e d; provide a support of some sort at distances of fifteen to twenty feet apart to keep the wire from sagging where the rows arc long. As the canee grow to the top of the wire, tie them to it in fan shape, cutting them off at the height of f. our feet, and laterals at eighteen inches; four nines at most to a stool, and leas ven the first year, are enough, if the plants are weak. Th > easiest way to have a supply of strawberries is to renew the bed. Make new beds, setting the plants in rows three feet apart and one foot in the rows, lu small gardens the plants may be set closer, with the runners cut off as fast as they appear; and if the soil is well enriched every year, the bed will bear abundance for four or five years.—Agri rulturiit. Hints Absnt Meat. The leg of mutton is the most profit. able joint, containing moat solid meat. The neck is an extravagant joint, half the weight consisting of bone and fat- The shoulder has also much waste in bone. The breast does well for kitchen dinner, nicely staffed; it is much cheap er than the other joints. Sirloirs and ribs of meat are very extravagant joints, from the weight of bone. The roasting side of the round part of the buttock, and the part called the "topside," are the most profitable family eating. The mouse buttock is used for stewing ; shin is used for soup, or stewing. The quantity of butcher's meat consumed in a family is, on an average, three-quarters of a pound a day for each person ; but when the family consists of women and children, half a pound per day is about the quantity consumed one with another, independent of hams, bacon, poultry, fish, and game. Meat should be wiped with a dry, clean cloth as soon as it e >mes from the butcher's ; fly-blows, if fonnd in it, cut out, and in some loins the long pipe that runs by the bone should be taken out, as it soon taints; the kernels also stionld be removed from be. f. Never receive bruised joints. Meat will keep good for a long time in cold weather, and, if frozen through, may be kept for monthß. Frozen meat must be thawed before it is cooked by plunging it into cold water, or placing it before the fire before setting it down to roast. It will never be dressed through if this pre caution is not taken, not even when twice cooked. Pepper is a preventive of decay, in a degree ; it ia well, there fore, to pepper hung joints. Powdered charcoal is still more remarkable in its effect. It will not only keep the meat over which it is sprinkled good, but will remove the taint from already decaying flesh. A piece of charcoal boiled in the water with '' high" meat or fowls will render it or them quite sweet. A piece of cnarcoal, or powdered charcoal, should be kept in every larder. Hams, after being smoked, "may be kept for any length of time packed in powdered charcoal. The Sheep Prlta. It is mor profitable to pull the wool from sheep pelts than to sell the pelts. Prepare a board three feet wide and three or four feet in length, with one smooth side; spread a pelt on the smooth side of the l>oard, flesh side up. Have mixed some lime and water, abont the consist ncy of good, rich cream (lime mixture such as is suitable for plastering or laying brick will do, but you must use a little more of the latter). Wood ashes mixed with water, as with lime, wdl start the wool quicker, but it frequently eats into the skin, and makes it so tender that the skin will tear in pulling. Spread a thin iayer or ooating of lime mixture all over the flesh side, then fold th flesh sides together care fully, and roll up and lay in a moderate ly warm place from six to twelve hours ; the wool will then be ready to pull. Then place the board at an angle of forty-five degrees, unroll the pelt, scrape off the lime, and lay the flesh side upon the board, holding the neck in one hand, and with the other slide or push the wool off in a whole fleece, which can be easily and nicely done in ten minutes. Then roll it up the same as if shorn wool. Put the fleeces separately in a dry, airy place for six or eight days, to let the moisture escape that is natural to lately shorn wool, us well as that alsorl>od from the lime moisture. IMX year w had a similar lot of wool to that wo now have, noil rent it to * wool manufaotnror. Thoir sorter valued it at forty five cents per pound. Calling such r\>ol worth thirty firs cents this year, wo got for the wool of each rolt fl.lVi|, or SllT) more tliau tlio highest price tlio j>olts would have brought. ruMlblllilr* at Cars lallarr. In #ll I"WV read by 11. (I Haskell, of Deerfield, Mass., WO flud the following: Tho results of a series of experiment*, by inainliers of tlio Elwira fArmors' club, seem to liiut ftt the possibilities of tlio esse. In ono oxporiniout, tho yield of oorn from a single grain was twenty four ounces, equivalent U> a bushel from thirty soTon grains. At this rate of pro duet ton for an entire aero, allowing to each grain foursquare fsetof soil, would give 294 bushels of shelled oorn. In ntiolher e*|eriment, the yiehl from a single gram was thirty one and one-half ounces, winch wou'd give a bushel from tweuty grains or 598 hualiels per acre. In auoth.*, the yield was thirty seven .tad one-half ounce*, or a bushel from twenty four grains, or 453 bushels jaw acre. The uoat successful experiment of the series ww the yield of forty three ami one half ounces, which is at the rate of a bushel from twentv one grains or 500 bushels per Acre. What has lßen dons, can be done again. What one grain of ooru has been made to produce, every grain of 10,000 like it, allowing a reu souahlo margin for accidents, may Ih< made to produce. As yet we have scarcely begun to realiae the poasibili lies of high farming. Haw la fair# Kala. Set a small steel spring trap cn a board a find square, and with a pencil mark the outlines of the trap. Cut awav the wood between the marks so as to let the trap down into the board fluah with the surface. This is a permanent ar raugement, not alatolutely necessary but very convenient, leoauee easily kept covered. Now set the trap in the recep tacle prepared for it, and cover it with bran, putting a little meal or flour di rcotly over the pan. If the rats succeed in getting the l>ait without apt urging the trap, glue some pumpkin seeds upon the pan and bait as lief ore. IX> not be dis couraged if von do not catch any the first week. Old rats are very shy of all artificial ai rangoments of a suspicious nature; but as familiarly breeds con tempt, they will IH pretty sure to be caught in the end.

Boil a pair of chickens until yon can pall the meat from the bones; remove all the meat and alios- the boues to boil half an hoar longer; stand this in a cool place and it will become jellied; the next day cut the meat inb> small pieces, melt the jelly and threw it in; then add two tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce, two of walnut sauce, one table spoonful of salt, a pinch of powdered mace, cloves, and allspice; slice ten hard boiled eggs and two lemons, line a large bowl, or form, with these slices, then pour in tho mixture and lot it stand in a cool place (but not to freeze). The water should just cover the chickens when put to boil. This is a very orna mental dish, and will keep for a long while. Fashions In Silks. Ones GRAINS FOR COSTTM: H.— Plain solid colors, says the Jiasar, will pre vail in gros grains as they have always done. The reps are of medium size, and the gros grain has the soft finish necessary for drapery, instead of falliog into stiff, heavy folds. The faucy is for rich dark colors for costumes, and the list of shades is not long, nor does it show any novelties, since the object is to return to old-time subdued yet posi tive colors. 1 here is seal brown, myrtle green, marine blue, mud color, and va rious gray shades, such as sU el color, caoutchouc, Coomassie, Bilboa, etc. SILKS FOR EVENING DRESSES. —The shades for evening silks are del glace, which ia a very lustrous shimmering blue, tourirr (a smile), rose-tinted ia\ ender, sea foam green, and every shade that hxs a yellow hue, such as cream, eille or straw color, chair or flesh, bol, buff, canary, etc. With these plain gros grains are imported two fab ri or corresponding shades from which to choose overdresses, viz.; brocaded silk and brocaded Chambery gauze. Three shades of white double faille are shown for bridal dresses. These are blanc mat, or dead blanc rose, w.th faint rosy tints; and blanc ereme, or the rich cream white like that of syringas and orange blossoms. Double faille has double twisted chain in the grain, making very rich looking reps, yet retaining the desired softness. LIGHT TAFFETA SILKS. —The pretty light taffeta silks for making simple suits for the spring show new effects in checks and stripes. Thus there are sil ver gray grounds barred with black and white—a very stylish design. The old contracts of white with dark brown, bine, or black are also repeated. From twenty-flve to thirty yards of these silks are required for a very simple dress, as they are only nineteen or twenty inches wide, aiul cost $1 a yard. One Customer In Fifteen Tears. On the old stage route from Bangor to Ellsworth there was a long stretch of dense fo:eat. through which travelers used to prefei to paw by daylight, as there was not a house to be seen in a twelve hours' ride. Many years ago a Yankee named Osgood thought it a good plan to open a half-way honse of entertainment in the woods, and so bought a tract of land there and made a clearing. Bat everybody went by as before. At last a tin peddler got caught in a storm, and put up at the Osgood Honse. On calling for his bill the next morning, ho was told that the charge would be $25. The peddler demurred, but was told that it was impossible to maintain a public house at ordinary rates, with only one customer iu fifteen years. Convinced by this reasooing, the" ped dler made no farther objection to the bill, but craved the privilege of paying it in tin ware, which was granted. Be fore the next caller arrived the house was closed. This story must be true, for Osgood tells it himself. To Secure an Adjournment. Tbe gentleman from Loniarille, Ken tacky, in entitled to a patent for a new method of bringing about an easy and 2 nick adjournment of the Kentucky [onse eyen in the midst of the most persistent fUibiuitering resistance. After many abortive attempts had been made, abont ten minutes after the clock had strnck two p. m. he sent one of the pages out and procured a large piece of middling meat, which he proceeded to broil on the coals in one of the large, projecting flreplaces of the Eonae. Soon the dinner suggesting odors of tliat broil ing meat began to spread throngh tbe House and salute the olfactories of bat tliug but huu£Tj members, and in leas tbau five minutes another motion to ad oui n was made and carried like n shot. Two Friends. A l'ew years ago there resided at the Mission San Jose, in Alameda county, Cal., two young ladies, between whom, although not of kin, a strong friendship existed. They were married at the same time and by the same service. They then took up their residences, one at Havwards and the other at Alvarodo. In the course of time they gave birth to cbildrrn on the same day, the birtli of one child preceding that of the other by two boors. Three weeks later both children died on the same day, the eld est just two hoars before the other. Three weeks after the death of the chil dren both mothers died on the same day.

" Well, how do yon catch them I" " I go into the cellar, or wherever the rats are. with John. He holds the liag and I take the dark lantern and the tongs.

The reporter ac oepted the proposition, and ou return ing at midnight, found Toner anil his l>artner in waiting. Cassidy carried the bag and tools, and jumping on a car. the party were soon couveved to their destination, a prominent hotel. Tho night clerk, on being informed by Toner of his buainees, ordered him to be shown to the servants' hall, where the head waiter, a couple of cooks, and several grooms w. re waiting to see tho rat catchers. These persons regarded Toner and his compauiou with the ut most awe and respect. One of the Eug lish grooms gave a graphic description of several ratting matches he bad seen at Jimmy Shaw's, in Windmill street, near the Haymarket, and Toner gravely as seated "to tho statement that Jimmy Shaw's Jacko was the best ratter ever put into a pit. Toner next asked for tho key of tho kitchen. This having been given him, ho opened tho closets and store-room doors, and (wrinkling a few spoouful* of odorous fluid in tho center of the kitchen ho retired, locking the door after him and putting tho key in his pocket, remarking at the same time to tho head cook : " If any of tho folks up stairs wants vittles cooked now, they've got b> go without 'em." Having uttered this declaration of authority. Toner resumed his seat in tho servants' hall, and spent the following hour in drinking and smoking. At length, he remarked : "I guess we'll go to work, " and lit his dark lan tern. With the lantern in his left hand and the tongs in his right, Dick led the way, Cassidy following next with the bag, and the reporter briuging up the rear. "Step light," said Dick, as lie unlocked the kitchen door. The natter of the rats on the floor conld l>o heard plainly. With a little instrument he had in his month, he imitated the "sqneak squeak " to perfection. Tho next mo ment he threw Imek the slide of the lan tern and Cassidy held the bag open. The circle of light on the floor seemed fairly swarming with |rnt. As quick as lightning Dick seized them with the tongs and dropped them into the bag. The rats dashed round in the circle of light, and Boomed afraid b> stir beyond I it. They wero quickly snatched np until no more remained on tho floor. " That's not so bail," said Cassidy, giv ing tho bag a shake: "There's a hun dred and twenty, Dick." Toner replied : "There's ono got away over iu that corner, there, I heard him." And ho walked rapidly to a portion of the kitchen where there was a huge chop ping bench. Hnre enough, there was the rat ; Dick threw tho glare of the lan tern right on the rat, blinded liira, and hauled him out with the tongs. " I guess that's all," said Dick. " Now yon see how it's done." Noticing that Oassidy kept swinging the bag ft bout, the reporter linked what that wan done for. "Oh," raid Dick, " that's to keep the ruts from en ting their way out, and I'll tell you a good story nbout that. One cold night 1 was taking n hundred rntn to a broker's kons<> for a rat bait, when a ' copper' stopped me in the street and asked ino what I had in the bag.

Well, thia policeman wanted to catch a burglar bail, so he necked me and took mo to the station.

Upon hastening to the scene of the disturl>aneo, which ly the way was at a considerable distance from the main camp, I found two cadets en gaged in a personal dispute, which threatened to result in blows, finite a group of cadets, as friends and specta tors, had formed about the two bellicose disputants. I had hardly time to take in the situation when the two j rincipnls of the group engaged in a regula' set to, and begun tteluhoring each other vigor ously with their lists. Some of their more prudent friends rushed forward and attempted to separate the two con testants. My duty as officer of the guard was plain and simple. I should have arrested the two combatants and soni them to the guar.l touts for violating the peace and the regulations of the academy. But the instincts of the boy prevailed over the obligation of the officer of the guard. I pushed my way through the surrounding linn of cadets, dashed back those who were interfering in the struggle, and called out loudly: '.Stand back, boys; let's have a fair Too Big a " Boo." After a most ridiculous and exttava gftnt plea by a yonng lawyer in a trivial case, an older lawyer, who had away of saying quaint things, remnrked, in opening the opposing sido of the ense, that his friend's elaborate plea remind ed him of tho experience of u ncightior of his, who wiis ones engaged in bleak ing a colt, and the story he told of it was like this: The eolt breaker motle his young son hide in the htish, while he himself was to mount the animal and put him at his top speed to tho hiding place, and then the boy was to msh suddenly out and shout "Bon!" the idea bring to prove how well the colt would stand the scare. Everything was done according to pro gramme, lint tho result was'altogether too much of a scare for the colt, who kicked up his heels and put dewu his head, and tho old man WHS thrown over it far into the road on his head. Clearing the dtiHt from his loosened teeth ho raado for tho toy with the switch ho had cut to drive the colt, and with rage licgnu to dross tho astonished young man down, shouting: " What did you do that for ? What did yon do that for ?" " But, hither," said tho crying boy, " you told mo to holler ' boo ! " " Yes," raid tho old man, "bnt dang it, it was altogether too big a *boo ' for BO small a colt."

The effects of school life upon the eyes of the children seems to U> som what pernicious, especially where the desks in a schoolroom are badly arranged as to light. The suierintendent of schools at Cincinnati reports that in J tine last n diatinguiahed occnlist matle an examination in the schools of tho eyes of 1.2G4 children, and discovered that in the district school* 18.27 per cent, were near sighted ; in the intermediate schools, 18.8 ; and in the normal tuid high schools, 22.75 jut cent. From ob servation in Now York ami in Europe, similar rosnlts are reported. It is evi dent, therefore, that school life induces and increases near-sightedness. Fixing the Hats.

The water and gnstrio juice in their stomachs would immediately cause the yeast to act, and, a* tlio snggester of the plan re marked, "it just raises 'em up !" The citixjn purchased some yeast cakes by wny of exjioriment, and, next morning, discovered some very fat but greatly in disposed rats in his yard aud dispatched them.
