Ueatroy the >rga of the teut eater pi lle.r if seen on the ends of the twigs. Apply cvvtrae manure around currant*, goosetxerrie*, hardy rasplvrries ami blackberries ; in the spring rake <ff the straw, and fork in the rest. Pruning of large branches may be 'eft until the severity of winter is over, but knife work may be done at any time ; yonug trees may be cut hack into shape, aud large oues'muy be tnmmed. Root grafting may bo done on stormy days ; work upon one variety at a time, to avoid errors; as soon as grafted, place the roots in boxes of earth, cor rectly lal>el, and keep in a cool cellar until spring. A good cellar is an excellent place for storing plant* that aroused for sum mer decoration, and as a reserve place for winter plants. Being dormant, they need but very little water, but they should uot be allowed to dry out altogether. Bulbs iu pels, when they have made root*, which may be known by turning i-at the ball, are to be brought into the greenhouse, or watm room, where they are to flower. It is better to bring for ward but a few at a time—say at the interval of a week or so—in order to have a long succession of bloom. .tiikriwin Ayriculftu itf. Seeds should be cleaned, properly labeled and put away in a dry, cool place. Keep no stock concerning which there are doubts as to kind or quality. Seme seeds, like the parsnip, are not good the second year, while others, like cucumber, etc., keep good a long time ; hence a seed need not always be dis carded because it is old. The* works on trardening usually state the time that the seed of each vegetable retains its vitality. The orchard is the only part of the farm that is expected to yield two crops, nod so long as the practice prevails of taking off a crop of hay or grain in ad dition to one of fruit, so long shall we have complaints of bitter rot and other evils. Not only should the land be given up to the trees, when of bearing age, but these should be manured, if not erery year, at least every third year, but not by putting a small heap next to the trunk, but by spreading a good dressing over the whole surface. If the season allows, this may be spread now and turned under by shallow plowing. If the ground is froieu, draw out the manure and leave it until spring. KerlPM. RICK CAKES —Take one cup of cold boiled rice, one pint of flour, one tea spoonful of salt, two eggs beaten lightly and milk to make this a thick batter. Beat all well together and b&ke on a griddle. For CORN BALLS.- These are easily made. To one gallon of pop corn take half a pint of molasses, or sugar ; put into a skillet and let it boil np once; pour it over the corn ; grease your hands with sweet butter and make* the whole into balls of such size as you please. Fokck-Mkat BALLS.-Chop two pounds of very flue veal, one onion, parsley, quarter of a pound of suet or salt pork ; season with cayenne pepper, salt, sweet marjoram and thyme. Mix all together; make into small balls, and fry a light brown. Put into the soup cold just before serving. Kidxet STEW.—Take a large beef kid ney, cut all the fat out, cnt it up in slices ; then let it lay in cold water, with a teaspoonful of salt added, fifteen min utes ; wipe dry. then pat it in the pot with three half-pints of cold water ; let it boil two hours ; half an hour "before it is done, add one large oaion-alice ; one teaspoonful of powuered sage, a very little grated netmeg, and pepper and salt to season well ; serve hot, with mashed potatoes. Delmowico Ptddini..—Boil a quart of milk over a slow fire, stirring fre quently, as if preparing Devonshire cream. Stir in the yelks of four eggs, beaten to a froth, four tables poo nfula of corn starch wet with milk, five table spoonfuls of sugar, and a pinch of salt. When the mixture thickens pour it into a tin kettle, set in oold water or ice to prevent cnrdling. Beat the whites of the eggs to a froth with four tablespoon fols of sugar and a drop or two of vanilla ; pour the pudding into a baking dish, frost with the egg and brown in the oven. linniti. Every fruit grower should be compe tent to do his own grafting, says as ex change. The process is so very sim ple that any one possessed of common ingenuity should be able to perform it, after having once seen it done. For the most satisfactory results, it shonld be attended to while the tree is youug and vigorous. If the tree is of consid erable size, it is best to graft only a portion of the top in a single year, as in this way the orchardist to some ex tent avoids the injury that may result from removing a large portion of the top at onoe. If he does the grafting himself, he ought to know what kind of fruit he will get as the result If he employs others to do it, or pur chases his trees of traveling agents, he will, too often, be disappointed in this respect If he cannot see to the matter personally, in procuring his trees direct from good, reliable nurserymen, I would recommend him to procure seed ling trees from his own vicinity, if pos sible, and graft them himself while they are small—say the second or third year aiter transplanting. He will thus avoid being imposed upon as to the varieties, and have trees accustomed to his climate and soil, aud which have not been forced into early and rapid growth in the highly-cultivated grounds of the nursery. The orchardist should make a regular map of his orchard, on which he should carefully maik, legibly and plainly, the uames of the several varieties, in their proper places. This io better than to rely on labels, which are so liable to be changed or lost. It is well to have trees of the same variety planted near each other, and net scattered promis cuously through the orchard. There should be some system about it Washington's Rebuke. Gen. Washington was dignified in manner and speech. He exacted appro priate consideration for himself and his \ position; but he exhibited a trait rare among men of high station—he was al ways considerate toward his associates. An anecdote illustrates this high-bred courtesy, and also his tender sympathy: Stopping one day daring the war at a house in New Jersey, he fcnnd there a wounded officer. The man was confined to his bed, and was so feeble that the least noise agitated him. Washington spoke in snch a low tone, and while at dinpqr was so quiet, as to influence his officers to a similar consideration for the wounded man. When he had dined he left the room, and the officers, unrestrained by his presence, forgot in their hilarity the poorsnfferer. Suddenly the door opened quietly, and Washington entered on tip-tqe, walked to the mantel, took a booh, and withont ottering a word quietly retired. The delicate suggestion, too courteous for a hint, was not lost It was followed by a considerate quietness, FOR THE FAIR SEX. >r> md NIM fWr Wo mm One ladv still remains at Judge Hil ton's bohl in New York for the original price of $7 a week.

Miss Maxwell Graham, an ancient and somewhat eoeeutrie maiden of Eng land, has left one hundred thouseud dol lars to four charitable societies, where with to relieve poor Prote*tanl* who are namcil Hutchiuson or Maxwell, and to educate their children. The French government, during the summer, sent the school teachers, com nosed largely of ladies, to 1M tin Paris exposition, and paid their expenses for them.

Short snitsof woolen goods trimmed are the accepted street costume for the win-. L r. Now that fashions are settled definite ly, ludia cashmeres and clothes of solid color are found to be most popular. They are combined with embossed vel vet, moire aatiu, and striped goods that are partly velvet and partly satin ; some times a third fabric is added for facings. Silk of inexpensive quality is used for the foundation skirt, to prevent the cos tume being two heavy, but the silk is seldom seen, as the flounces are usually of wool. There are, however, stylish plans of making wool costumes in which silk plays a conspicuous part, vis., when three deep flounces are put on the back part of dresses with apron drajiery. and in the rovers polonaises that turn back from the front and disclose two or three flounces of silk on the front breadths. Such poionaises are called the Trianon, and their jaunty shape is an excellent design for remodeling the princess polonaises of last season. To do this the side seams of the skirt are ripped open as far up as the hii s ; the fronts are then cnt off short enough to dispense with any cross-way folds, and turned back in a broad three cornered revt ra to the middle seam, leaving the buttoned part below the waist about as long as a plain cuirass basque. The revers is then cov ered on the outside with silk, satin or moire, and the side afams are sewed again, leaving all the length possible in the bark to few bnnched up in bouffant drapery by means of several tapes. The lower skirt worn with this polonaise re qnirea deep trimming on the front brea iths, such as very narrow kilt-plait ing beginning so high that the top is Lid leu under the short front of the polonaise; this plaiting is usually tf the wool of the polonaise. When some thing more dressy is required, three plaited flounces of silk cover the frout breadths. This suit has beta prettily made iu dark blue ladies' cloth, with revers and flounces of bine silk with tiny polka dots cf white. A vest of the silk may be laid on the front, or else a wide belt may be sewed in ihe side seams under the arms. The reverse of this, with th p plaited flounce* behind, is also very fashionable; but care is required that the flounce* be very full and well lapped, aud that they do not extend too far forward on the sides. Ladies who prefer black suits use camei's-hair and embossed velvet to gether, and pipe them with satin. The vest is of the velvet, and the camel's hair basque is double-breasted, and but tons across it. For cloth short suit* seal brown is the favorite color, and is very handsome with either striped or em bossed velvet. For dressy suits the overekirt is made on the lower one, and in many part* of the dre*s is the only skirt over the foundation ; this does away with the great weight The plainer cloth suits are merely long round cver-skirta and basqoas that may be worn with any black silk or velvet skirt Young ladies wear garnet cloth or camel's-hair suits that have many pipings of satin of the same color, or else the striped velvet forms trimming. Plaited wool flounce* are often made more dressy by a bias band of satin an inch wide laid on an inch above the lower edge of the flounce. The gray suits most worn are of the checked suit ings or cloth mixtures snch a* gentle men have lately worn ; these are simply made, and their only ornament is row* of stitching and large smoked pearl buttons. A few more dressy gTay suits are enlivened by garniture of maroon velvet. It is. however, a matter of comment that few somber-colored cos tames are worn at present; garnet of a very dark rich shade, myrtle green, (luck-breast blue, and very red-tinted seal brown are the colors most used in snits ; nary bine and gray have in a measure lost favor as complete snits, thongh often used in combinations.— Bazar. Genera's Three Industrie'. The Genevans who do not engage in the laundry business chiefly manufac ture watcht s and musical boxes. There are clocks and watches of all kinds and styles exhibited by the acre, but the Hwiae watchmaker is in sore dread of his American competitor, and is sorrow -1 ing because one of his chief markets is thus gradually closing against Swiss wares. But in musical boxes Geneva takes the front rank. When the hotel is entered you hear them playing on all sides, even in the elevator, and the automatic singing birds chirp out their pretty songs among the flowers that decorate the dinner table. The city is full of large manufactories of these boxes, and the reader will miss nothing by coming with me a few moments into one of them. You enter and shut the door behind yon, and it strikes np a tnne; yon sit down in a chair, and it plays the " Marseillaise;" a foot-stool is i placed to you, and the moment yonr foot is upon it it starts up "Coming Thro' the Rye." If thirsty, the water pitcher yon lift and the glass you drink from all play tunes. You look at pretty work-boxes and jewel caskets, and on opening the lids some will start music, while ont of others jamp little birds to carol their lays. A complete orchestra of monkeys," with the most amusing gyrations, play the Swiss favorite airß, while if yon take a cigar, the cigar case opens to music, and the clock cannot strike without giving au opera overture. Musicis concealed in everything around, and a hundred pretty miniature Swiss cottages stand on the shelves to dis course music if started. The ingenuity of the Swiss in thus pntting music into everything is remarkable, and they are also wonderfully proficient in the manu facture of the more elaborate boxes, with harp, drum, bells, flutes and some times full orchestra aocompaniment*.— Foreign Letter, Christmas keeping IN the Olden Tlm, Iu England, in tie olden time, a few days bbtore OiiriituH, when the hustle of preparation w at ita height in the house* of the noli, home of the Serving mer. wonlJ be M ilt out into the woods to cttt an enormous log for the hack of the Christmas tire. The fireplace wan so large sometimes that" the log, which took aereral men to lift, eonM Ih placed iu if.

Thia wax <tailed the "Yule Log," and a* long a* It burned, the meu aud maids were eu titled to keep liohdajr. Sometime* they were entitling enough to wet il well m the hrtH<k, no that it might last the longer. When it wan well a burning, the merry-making of the evouiug hegau ly a very eurioua priweaaion. Fnat eame a man dreaaed ui a loug white robe, made generally t>v pinning a sheet around inn, with white hair ami In-ard, and a erowti of holly aud mixtletoe, rep reaeuting Father Uhristuia* ; tlieu fol lowed a great many siugular h>okiug figures, each |iemonating some Chrit mas dudi, such an imuee-pie. iioar's head, or plum-pudding ; then followed one dressed iu priest's roles ; he was called the Abbot of Unreason, aud after htm came a mixed company, dressed in the most fantastic way they eouhl de vise, ami all wtth some Christmas deflo ration. The actors iu thia " mumming " ahow, as it was called, were generally servants, farm-hands or i>oor people who lived m the iieighborliiiod. Ihe " mummers" would go atH>ut from house to house, and everywhere they were made welcome, and after acting out their parts they were entertained with all manner of goial cheer, in the great hall, where tires were kept bloz i lug, aud where finally the evening end ed witli a dance, which was joined in by ail the company in the house. The walls were hung with holly and miatlo- | toe, and the scarlet Iwrriea of the one and the pure white of the other made gay garlands that re dieted the light of the Are cheerily. A branch of mistletoe hung iu the center of the hall, and if by accident a lady happened to stand beneath—of course it never happened except by accident any gentleman who caught her there was entitled to a kiss, and somehow there were a good many kisses generally stolen on Christmas eve, probably because in dancing the I ladies forgot to look for the mistletoe, ani their did not. Many j games were played at Christmas time j then that are now happily almost for gotten. One was that of " suap-dragou," which occasioned a great deal of sport. Iu a darkened room a bowl of blaring spirits of wine was placed upon the table, and the party gathered around it. This bowl was* filled with plums, which were to be snatched from beneath the dame without burning the fingers, and those accustomed to the sport be came very adroit in winning the plums without gaining auy soars. I think we may be glad that we have plays less rude for our holidays. In Holland they had a gnat many pretty customs. Iu the small town* aud village* a man dressed aa Santa Clan*, and loaded with presents, would go about the town on Christmas eve, and knocking at the door of a house, would inquire whether any good chil dren lived there, and the parents would call the children and tell lain how they had behaved, and whether they deserved any present*. When this old man had gone hia rounds, and distri buted his gifts, mostly among the younger children, the families would assemble round the Christmas tree, the tapers were lighted, and the present* of the parents to the children were taken from the tree, and afterward the chil dred presented theirs to their parent*. In England poor children used to go to the doors of their neighbors and sing carols, sometimes like those now snug iu the churches, and people wonld bring them ont fruit and cake, and sometime* money, but always somethiug to make their eye* dance aud their hearts beat gladly. Noiel Mi tie of Punishing Criminals The pen 'entiary management, deter mined uot to lie outdone by Edison, have introduced electricity a* a mode of punishment. The statement having been made that prisoners exposed to this punishment suffered more than they did by the use of the ducking-tub, a reporter called at the prison ami was shown the method of punishment by Deputy Warden Quinn and Dr. Drnry, the prison physician. The electric apparatus is in a liox ten inches in length, three inchias high and three inches wide. It contains an electro magnet. The prisoner is taken to the ducking-box, tormerly iu use in the insane department. He is stripped nutl blindfolded before coming in sight of the water-box, and is then led around a corner of the interior cell building, and placed in the box, handcuffed, but not shackled at the feet. The room is warm, having fire in it day and night. He sits down in water three inches in depth. One pole of the battery is placed in the water. A sponge is attached to the end of the other pole. Deputy W ardeu Qninu sujierintends the punishment, which consists of touch ing the bare skin of tbe convict iu various places rapidly, with the sponge. A prisoner turns a small crauk attached to the electric apparatus. Tbe concern is so small that it looks likes a toy, but it makes the subject of punishment yell sometimes as thongh he was badly hurt or badly frightened. The reporter did not witness a punishment, but is giving what he was told at the prison. Dr. Drury says this mode of punishment does no harm. In some cases he says it is a physical benefit. The punishment is said to be effectual, on account of the man being blindfolded. He ha* no idea where or when he is going to be touched, and is not nerrod against it, as one would be who takes hold of the pole* of a bat tery with hi* eyes open and his thoughts concentrated for tne expected shook. It is said that the mode of punishment has reduced the visit* to the room forty five per cent. The dnngeons have been dispensed with except five. About one per week is sent there. The water-box known as the ducking-tnb is ten feet long, four feet high aud three feet wide. It is painted red and has a lid. When the lid is lifted np and tnrned bock against the wall, the visitor reads on the underside of it, "Long Branch." — Co hnnbu* (Ohio) DUpateh. The "Twa Dogs." A correspondent of Forett and Stream, who has been camping at In dian river, Florida, writes about hia two favorite setters: At the St. Sebastian river we remained some time, and here an accident befell which bereft the writer of a favorite set ter. Poor Dash could not resist his in stinct to retrieve, and while swimming the river one day in hot pursuit of a Crippled duck, and deaf to all remon strances of his master, a lingo alligator rose to the surface. A yell of terror from the doomed dog; the deadly sweep of the reptile's tail, the metallic clash of its jaws; a splash; a straggle, and poor old I)ash sank to rise no more. Peace to his body 1 It was also here that the surviving setter distinguished himself by a panic. While hunting quail one afternoon, about a mile from the boat, Don con cluded to investigate a tangled swamp. In minutes a howl WMB most human in its agonized expression of terror. Out of the swamp aame the dog as an arrow from a bow, " each individual hair standing on end, like qnills upon the fretful porcupine," and, regardless of its master's appeals, sped frantically to tbe boat. Close behind him came a panther. Whether the panther would have caught the dog or not must remain a mystery, for a couple of loads of bird shot, poured into the animal at short range, turned its course, and it slmk away into the thioket. As it was nearly dark, and no buckshot handy, the writer declined to follow; bntitwas maDy days before poor Don recovered the tone of his nervous system.

" Yon had better take a cab and go borne and tell your father almat it," said the ladr, still with her frigid niau- tter. "My daughter and I have aonie calls to make." In a half-dazed state of mind the young Philsdelphtsn drove home and told her father of what had happened. To get back to that sht p, to have tliat photograph ont of that wimiow, to de mand an explanation of the stationer, was not tho work of many minutes for the enraged father. Bnt, though it was easy enough to demand an explanation, it was not so eaey to get one. Suspicion falls upon the servant* 111 the house, one of whom might easily have abstracted a photo ont of a package of them, which has been kept hitherto in an unlocked drawer of the young lady's writing deek. Of course, it is a "cooked" picture; only the head and neck of the American lady's photograph, the rest that of some one else, and together the picture rep resents one of the most beantifnl women it is possible to conceive. The matter has caused so much indignation and so much comment that it is not irnpoes.lib it may check the mania now so preva lent among society beauties for having themselves photographed for sale at a shilling s cart' dr vliitc. Disturbed hy an Earthquake. The newspapers long ago had their langh over the deaf old lady who said "CJome tn " when the third shock of an earthquake had roused her just enough to fancy that " somebody nipped." Speaking of the late Axrthquake felt in Westphalia, a correspondent of the Kalhnluthe Yolktblatt writes; Rome ol the effects of the evrthqnakc were very laughable. A government official, lis he went through hi house on a tour of inspection after the first shock, found one of tho maid-servants lving on the floor. She had a broomstick iu her hand, and was groping abont with it under the kitchen cupboard to strike that " horri ble cat," which, while she WAS in the sittiiig-rooui, hail been rattling among the diahes. She did not find auy cat. The rattling had been caused by the earthquake. An old man atood writing at his dcak iu his somewhat rickety house when tho shock liegan.

A French statistician has furnished an estimate of the world's product to the Phris Exposition, which shows that in 187fi tho whole amount footed up to •'ll,- '271,460,276 pounds or 15,785,780 tons of 2,000 pounds.

Tho ratio of production in the leading iron producing countries is nearly as follows: Great Britain, 46j; United States, 17; Germany, si; France, 10 1-6; Belginra, 8 2-5; Russia, 8; Austro-Hnngary, 2 4-5; Sweden, 2J. Tho iron product of the United Status for 1876 is 5,880,719,707 pounds, or nlout 125 pouudH for every inhabitant. The estimate to tho authorities of Paris heretofore cited gives the total product of ail countries of Bessmer steel for 1876 at. 4,646,873,336 pounds, or 2,328,436 tons, of which one one-fourth was made in the United States, a little over one-third in Great Britain, not quite one-fifth in Germany and one-tenth in Franoe. Tho total Bteel made in 1876 would lay 22,116 miles of railway track, allowing twenty pounds to the foot of rail. The present rate of production would put steel rails upon all the railways in tho world (in less than ten yva'" OluHB windows wore lirst introduced into England in the eighth century. jSUMMARY OF NEWS. tsstarn and Middle Stataa. o'lx>*ry, • hatii|>lu |mlMlrliu, walked fl ' union in lit Iwurs, in I'lilladnkdiia making Lba itnlauon fortjr-flve tultittlss akssil uf Uuu>.
