It Is ratlior luto tor this (souson, but
we glean from tbo Minncupolia House
keeper tbo following excellont liinto
that nin bo utilized by house keepers

II' woman' timo and atrenytb wore

know ot a lerwon in domeslic etonomy

health, and thoreloro to tho nnekot.
than this of taking our fiuit fresb.
rather than cooked. Fresh fruit (jivon
a vii;or and vlaelicity which wo fail to
get from cooked lood of any kind. Tho
two reasons why wo bavo not hitherto
appreciated this fact is, tbat we too
frequently eat it between meals, or, it
not, we luko it on a stomach which is
already Biifliciontly tilled with othor
food.
Sometimes it will bappon tbat
peaches aro not quito ripe, and need
cooking, or for some extra occasion
yon need variety. For simplo stowed
fruit I hey may bo cooked gently nnd
hut slightly (not in metal) with very
lilllo sweetening. Tboy may bo sim
ply wied and cooked whole, remov
ing skina and stones wilh epaon
whilo eating, or they may have further
previous dressing. Tho skins and
stones impart some of their flavor to
that fruit, which is not disagreeable.
Sometimes we have small and slight
ly withered fruit at our disposal. If
this be sealdod, dipped in boiling wa
ter from five to ten minutes, removing
Irom the water as soon as it will peel,
the skin can be readily slipped off.
This direction of peeling peaches by
means cl the use ot bet water is olten
misunderstood and misapplied. It can
not bo made available, lor peaches in
all conditions, but tor the abovo con
ditions it answers woll. Klip off the
skin with the hand, put the peaches
at onco under water, having just
onough to cover them; when you are
done add the juice that escapes in peel
ing and a trine or sugar, and then put
a cover nnd weight upon them to keep
them under the liquid so that they
may not turn brown by exposure to
the air. This makos a pleasant and
iuiey variety ot sauce tor the tablo
and is an excellent modo ot preparing
peaches for pies. Uso thorn up quickly.
As some will persist in cooking tbcm
or looking ahead tor wintor dinners
and suppers, here aro tome revipios for
their benefit :
AMBROSIA.
The ambrosia is made In a deep,
oiled nappy, with a crust of Uraham
flour mixed at for gems. Have cold
water, sift in the flour wilh one hand
and stir with the other until a little too
stiff to scttlo flat. Spread this balfan
inch thick on tho bottom of tho nappy,
placo sliced peaches on this an inch
deep, sprinkle on sugar and a little
flour, put butler at the sides of tho dish
and add moro Iruit till ft is at least
two inches deep. Then cover it thinly
with butter, tnd hake gently for an
hour, making sure that the juice does
not run out ot the dish, nerve warm
or cold : bettor cold. For ambrosia
and peach pie. the fruit may be used
without peeling, provided the skin is
not very thick.
PIACII JKLLY.
Crack one third ol tho kernels and
pel them in the jnr with the peaches,
which should bo pared, stoned and
sliced. Heat in a pot of boiling water
stirring occasionally until the Iruit is
well broken. Strain, and to every pint
of peach juice add the juice of a lemon.
Measure again, and to every pint of
pcacn juice add a pound ot sugar.
Heat the sugar very hot, and add
when the juice baa boiled twenty min
utes. Let it come to a boil and take
instantly from the fire. This is very
fine for jelly cake. -

are cooked, watching carefully until
thoy are tender, or to uso only part of
the sugar at first, adding the rest in a
day or two. Use tbo large While
Heath clingstones if thoy are to be
bad. All that is noccssary to keep
sweet pickles is to have syrup enough
to cover, and to keep tho fruit well
under. Scald with boiling syrup until
Iruit is of samo color throughout, and
syrup like thin molasses; watch every
week, particularly if the weather is

SLEIIOI8K OF PIAOIIES.
I'uro and divide four fine, ripe
peaches, and lot ihem just simmer from
nro to eight minutes in a syrup mude
with a third of a pint of water and
throo ounces of vory whiio sugar, boil,
ed together tor til toon minutes; lift
them out carefully into a deep dish,
and pour about half the syrup over
them, and into the remaining bull
throw a couple of pounds moro of quite
ripe peaches, and boil tbem to a per
fectly smooth dry pulp or marmalade,
with as much additional sutrar in fine
powder, as the nature of tbe fruit may
require. Lilt the other peaches from
the syrup, and reduce It by very quick
ooiuiig, more man nun. spread a deep
layer of tbe marmaludo in a dish, ar
range tho peaches symmetrically round
it, and till all tho spacos between them
with the marmalade : placotbo half of
a blanched peach kernel in each, pour
the reduced syrup equally over the
Hurfaco, and form a border round the
dish with Italian macaroons, or, in lieu
ot these, with candied citron, sliced
very thin, and cut into leaves with a
small paste-cutter. A lilllo lemon-
juice brings out the flavor ot all prepa
rations ot peaches, and mnv be added
wiib good etteot to tbls. the better
to preserve tbeir form, tbe peaches are
sometimes merely wiped, and then
boiled tolerably tender in tbo syrnp be-
toro they are pared or split. Hull a
pint ot water, and Irom live to six
ounces of sugur must then be allowed
lor tbcm. It any of those used for tbe
marmalade should not bo quile ripe, it
will be bolter to pass It through a
sieve, when partially done, to prevent
its being lumpy.
PEACHES AND TOMATOES.
Cut up in proportions of one-third
peaches and two-thirds tomatoes and
swseten. liotb fruits should be rich
and ripe, and tbe preparation should
stand an bonr or two after mixing bo-
lore serving.
SPANISH LIVING AND DYING.
CAST1LLIAN DAYS.
Tbe Spanish father is absolute king
and lord by bis own boartbslono, but
bis sway is so mild tbat it is hardly
felt. A light word between husband
and wife sometimes goes unexplained,
and tho rilt bolween them widens
through life. Tbey cannot be divorced
tbey will not incur the scandal ot
a public separation and, as thoy pass
live ol lonely isolation In adjoining
apartments, bolh think rather better
ot each other and ot thomselvos lor

If men are never henpecked excopt
by learned wives Spain would be tbo
place of all others lor timid men to
marry in, J he girls are bright and
vivacious, but tbey have never crossed,
even in school-day excursion, the bor
der lines of tho ulogies. They have
an old proverb which coarsely conveys
mis idea : l bat "a Lnsiian woman in
good society ought not lo know any
thing beyond bur cookery book and
ber missal."

ROOM ON TOP.
The one great lesson taught to the
workingmen of tbe United Siato by
tbo long period oi industrial oenrcs
sion, now happily past, was that "there
it always room on lop;" tbat skilled
labor of tbe best quality is always in
demand, n nen nuiiiont ot working.
men wero idlo, When their families
wore in want, and ;whon tbo country
was filled with wanaorers seeking work
or asking for bread, there was one
class not represented in the masses of
unemployed suflorurs. Tbe few in
every branch of industry who bad
thoroughly mastered their professions
and could do tbo cost work in their
respective linos found employment,
and, although there was a reduction of
wagos, they wort rble to snap their
fingers in the face ef grim want that
was slowly profsmg nope anal lilo out
ot the lest fortunate, because less skill
ful, members ol their various crafts.
When tbe bard time began and de
mand lor all kind of work and its
product full off the first discharges ot
employe included tnoso wioso skill
and proficiency were least. This bas
always been tbo caso in the past and
must bo In ail lime lo como.tor this
condition is a result of tho Inflexible
laws regulating therelatienscl supply
and demand.
The same important lessoi is en
forced by the revival of business. In
all tbo leading manufacturing indus
tries there is an emphatic and soniinu
ona demand for the best class of work
men. Knorgotio and skilled mechan
ics, qualified tor first class rating and
capahleof doing their work thoroughly
well, are in most ac.ive request ill over
the country. Especially it this tbe
case in tbe iron business, now enjoying
exceptional prosperity and so greatly in
need ot tbe very best macbiniata that
there are not enough in tbe country to
supply the demand. Inferior artisans
in this and all other lines aro plenty.
The activity of business has not in
creased to such an extent as lo absorb
the entire supply ot average mecbani
cal skill, nor ia it likely ever to alluin
sucb proportions as lo create a scarcity
of ordinary workmen In any branch.
this numerous class will always bold
their places by proctrious tenure, lia
ble to disehargo tor slight cause, hav-
ng no prospect ot e'er rising to tbe
position of employer, wilh a strong
probability of passing their days in
poverty, and suhiectlolho annoyances
and humiliations inevitably incident to
a siato of uncertainty and dependence.
These remarks aoply wiib equal
force to what are called "the learned
professions althotgh many enter
them wilh less of learning than might
bo profitably utilized in a blacksmith'
shop or a bakery. Thousands of half-
educated, shyslering lawyers, an al
most equal numbor ot half-starved
doctors, and a liberal tprinkling of pul
pit blockheads, are among the most
unhappy and useless people in this
country. Their services are not re
quired. There is no nlsce for them in
too Itumo worn ui our social uruinsui.
They are a dead weight, an incubus,
wasting their lives, contnuuiing noth
ing to the material, Intellectual or
moral progress of the human family,
but supported by the unrequitted toil
of other and boiler mon. Tbe lawyer,
doctor or preacher who has brain and
character "enough to command respect
is sure ot employment, and can rise In
bis profession. Avonuea of usefulnesa
are always open to tuob a man. But
tho ignoramus, the incompetent, tbe
weakling.wbelberal tbe car, in the sick
room or in the pulpit, is but a nuisance
demanding abatement. Good work ia
as necessary to success for a lawyer as
a shoemaker. An incompetent phy
sician is scarcely moro desirable than
torpedo or nitroglycerine An
ignorant preacher finds no more ro-
numeralivo demand for bis product
than a bungling cobbler finds for bin
ill fitting patches and unsightly bait,
soles. While ' thero it always room
on top," alwayi plenty of space lor
those who can got near the top, tbe
lower strata In the professions are
crowded With tbe lean and hungry.
A larire proportion ot the useless
members of those profession! might
bavo made a success, instead ol their
wretched failure in lilo, bad they not
been influenced by false pride. If they
had selected tome trado and mastered
it in all it details, to as to turn out
the beat quality ol work, they would
have beon able lo obtain a competency
as well at their own self-respect and
the respect of their lollow-men none
of which can evnr eome to them in
tboir present way of living, or trying
to live. How much belter i a good
shoemaker, for instance, proud of the
bcnutiliil products of bis skill, com
munding good pay for good work, in
creasing tbo material wealth of the
Nation, educating bis children, stead
ily rising in tbe social scale and mak
ing sure ol a support lor bis old age
bow vuBlly more to bo honored is such
a man than the ihyaioring lawyer,
picking up a pittance by pettilogging,
ibe unskilled and unemployed doctor,
speculating on the chances of being
kicked out of bis hoarding house, or
tbe numbskull earning little pay and
great contempt in the pulpit. Tbe
true secret ot success in lile is lo solocl

REPUBLICAN,
TUB FLO WERS OF THE FIELD.
All qniot, pure boarted pcoplo wbo
aro cbild-liko in their fitness for tbe
Kingdom of heaven are fond of flowers.
All refined and devout men, whose
souls have drank deep from tbo eternal
harmonies of God's kingdom fool that
tbey aro very near the Father hand
when they considor the glory with
which He clothes the flowers of the
field. Tbe poor, the lonoly, the unod
ueatod adorn tboir bomea with tbo
lovelinosa and beauty which tbo Divine
artist pours a freely as the sunshine
on tbe humblest flowers. Hard work
ing men and women, in whose hearts
la the oovenant of peace, though shut
upin closequartersand crowded streets
and noisy manufactories, bang a little
vine or shrub In the window, und they
watch ita progress, its opening blos
soms, aa it tbey taw in Iho delicate
tint the lingering rayeot tbe Paradiso
once lost, and the tiro gleams of a
brighter I'aradiso to be regained. De
vout, spiritual, religioua minds tbat
caro nothing about tbe flaunting colors
of fashion, or the olaborulo decorations
of art delight in contemplating tbe
quiet and simple beauty of flowers.
The shrinking and sensitive student
finds nothing in all the riches und
splendors ot education to cheer bit
heart to much aa one view of the wild
landscape in the opening Spring, when
trees wavo their green boughs, and
flowers swing their censers of perfume
in tho wind, and the humble grass
clothing the fields in moro seemly robes
than kings ever woro.
tt hen the Christian traveler in the
Holy Land would bring borne the
most fitting memorial of tbo sacred
scenes which bo bas visited, be plucks
a roso on the plain ol Sharon, bo gath
ers a bunch ot thorn from tho sons
field in aight ot tbe Sea of Uallileo;
wilh tearful eyes and a trembling hand
be takoa a lily from the mount ol Beati
tudes ; bo breaks a twig of terrebintb
from the grove of Tabor ; be turns
aside to select a witbored fig leaf aa be
treada the sacred pathway from Be
thany to Jerusalem ; he bows bis bead
as it pressed with a crushing burden,
and hi mind it stirred with thoughts
too deep lor bearing he takes an olive
leaf from tbo garden of Getbsomane.
And when in afler year bit eye lulls
upon the leaves and flower which be
gathered with his own hands beside
tbe pathe w here the feet of J esus trod,
he feel tbat no work of art could so
effectually and lovingly draw him lo
the scene where Jesus sunored ana mo
throno wboro Jesus reigns.
God bas strewn over tbo earth, ana
He bas given Ihem infinite variety in
form and hue, that every tasto may be
gratified, and tbat none may be wearied
w th tho study or their noaiiiy. jie
thus shows us bow much He Himself
delights in the perfection of beauty,
and how much instrnction, refinement
and happiness may be derived from
contemplation ot 111 marvelous woras.
Millions ot nowers are inaoea twrn to
ttln.h n ru. mmn. knl lhj n....
waste their sweetness on the desert
air. God sees tbem and delights in
their beauty. Thoy offer up incenso of
silent worship to mm thai made tbem.
The Lord ever rejoices in tbo work
which He bas clolhod wilh such per
fection ot beauty. His glory is declared
not only by the heavens and all tbe
host tberoot, but by the primrose
ttaring in the springing grata, by mow
plants that bloom on the edge of eter
nal ice, nnd by the delicate most that
lives whero tbe footol man nevor trod.
It becomes us to consider tbo lily and
the humblest flower that grow with
a feeling of reverence and of worship,
for it is lUcll a thought, a plan ot God.
Its beauty i an expression ot iho in
finite mind, just us truly as tbo most
sacred precept in the book of Divine
revelation. The two hundred thous
and apeciea of flowers that adorn the
earth and preserve tbeir individual
character from century to century,
worn all designed and shaped and col
ored with intinito variety and beauty
by the Divino artist, who laid the
foundation of the earth and unrolled
tho firmament of start wilh Uia own
hand. Ho delight in tbe beauty of tbe
microscope mass that climbs tho moun
tain aide eighteen tbosand loot above
the level of the tea, or travel north-1
ard to tbe circle ot perpetual ice, not
loss than tbe most brilliant flowers that
bluxe in groves of palm of the tropic.
It we wonld sbow ourselves to be God s
children, we must learn to delight in
tbe pure, simple, quiet beauty with
wbicb Uur rather adorn the home ol
bis earthly children.
Uur Lord tells us Dial the most mag.
nificontof all the kings of Israel could
not come forth in such gorgooni array
as tbalwbicb God clothes the humblest
flower of the field. And Uu will bring
thit more than kingly glory into tbo
bouse of any ono wbo will plant a seed
in a handful of earth, and sot it in the
window for the light to look upon.
There is nothing in the painting of tbe
great masters, nothing in statuary.
nothing in the most costly and elabo
rate decorations of architecture to bo
compared with the timplo graco, tho
delicate tints, the period barmony nl
flowers which the poorest can cultivate
in the bumbeat home. Let not your
heart be led away, then, with longings
for artificial splendors wbicb ricbos
only can bring. Yon can look back
upon and enjoy God ported boauly
overy day in some delioale flower rear-
ed by your own hand and set in your
own window. Altoona Tribune.
"Lay on, MAcnurr." An actor, in

ignominious retreat. Poor Macbeth,

NEW
ARRIVALS AT THE ZOO.
Tbo Zoological Gardens in Philadel
phia reooived a tow days ago an orang
outang, a malo eland, two black wolvos,
18 boa constrictors, one saddle billed
stork, ono Cinorous eagle, lot of birds
and monkeys and afemale tapir. 1 be
boa constrictors ranged in sixo from
seven to twelvo feot, and with tbo six
lurgeones already in the garden makes,
it is said, tbe largest und finest colleo
tion in this country. Unfortunately,
tbo enclosure In wbicb tboy are con
fined, about 9 by 4, and 10 feet high
ia not largo enough, and as some of
tbem are III and 13 loot in lengi!i.
thoy aro pretty well crowded. Their
food consists of rats, rabbits, guinea
pigs, chickens, Xc. These are plaoed
in the cago alive, wbon, if the snakes
are feeding, tbey will be seized at
onco, killed by construction, and awul
lowed whole. It it calculated by the
keeper, Mr. bbeppard, tbat it will re
quire 27,000 rau a year to food tbem.
At present aomo ol thorn are abedding
ihoir ekint. This occurs livo or six
times a year. Tho orang-outang is a
raro specimen, between threo and four
years old. She Is the first orang outang
ever owned by the society, and is val
ued on account of tbo scarcity of ibo
species, as tbey are rapidly becoming
extinct. Mr. liolling, the keeper, who
also bad cbargo of tbo champanzoes,
has already commenced to train ber.
She will drink from a cup, eat wilh a
spoon, eat mutton chops, rice, bread
and butter, chicken, etc., and drinks
with evident relish the milk and wine
offered her. She is about tbe size of
tbe chimpanzees, but baa much longer

THE DIGESTIBILITY OF
CLAMS.
While evory body ia enjoying or pre
paring to enjoy oysters roust, pan
ned, broiled and served on toast, fricas
seed, oscallnped, stowed with celery,
the convenient common stew, or even
the not easily digestive fry the Hard,
ford Times has thoso good words to
say for the common clam : "Tb noli,
round, hard shell clam is by no moans
drivon out of tho market, or away
from tho tablo, by that big, bloated
member ol the family, the oyster.
Claim which are good in Summer are
ovon bottor through tbo Full a id
Wintor. Thorc is a common prejudice
against clams that thoy are indigesti
ble. If they aro ao, it is because tboy
aro improporly cooked ; thoy are
stowed whole into tough lcalbur, the
cook lancving she must servo soles, or
otbor marine monstrosilioa, instead of
clsma. Or tbey are baked to cindor,
as at aome ol tbe popular clam bakes,
wbere thoy aro only digested by such
mechanical means as by pouring into
the stomach whole pint of strictly
rrime Bourbon benzine, as tho ostrich
wanuws rauroau spikes and bits of
juuk bottles to assist in culling up lis
tough lood. Glams should never ne
stowed ; but cut up finely and gently
simmorod. Hut the royal way of serv
ing the clam is lo roast it on bar or a
gridiron ovor a bright grate fire tbe
quicker the better and the minute it
'sizzle,' open it, pan it and let it sim
mer a little in its own saved juice and
a bit of buttor. Tbe clam thus cooked
is a grateful creature that will repay
all the attention shown it. And so
served, far from being indigestible, it
is as tender as the swan song in 'Lo
hengrin.'" OUR P0ST0FF1CES.

THE ORIGIN OF THE TERM
GOTHAM.
Tho term Gotham, often applied In
mild derision to New York, was first em
ployed, w believe, a n nickname to
ihat city by Washington Irving.
Tbo name ia not an invention, an is of
ten thought ; it ia an actual parish of
Nottingham, England, whose inhabi
tants wero formerly so proverbially
ruBlio and stupid tbat they gained tbe
ironical title of the Wise Men of Go
tham. Many tlories ol their dotish
Dcst have been put upon the Gotham
lies, one ol which ia that tbey joined
hand on a certain occasion round a
Lborn-buoh to prevent tbe escape of a

is shown to tourist in that neigh
borhood. It it said that King John,
of Magna Cbarta memory, intended
once upon a timo to go though th
parish tor the purpose ol buying a cas
tle and ground. Tbe Golhamitos,
knowing tbat tbe royal visit would
entail considerable expense on them,
pretended, when tbe monarch' me,
aongera appeared, to be occupied with
some silly, ridiculou pursuit, much to
tb disgust of tbe regal emissaries.
These reported to John what tbey had
seen, and be declared that be would
not have a castle in a neighborhood
wbore such simpleton lived. There
upon the parishioner shrewdly re.
marked, "More fools, we wot, pass
through Gotham than remain in it"
Andrew Boyd, a native Gotbamite,
wrote the "Merrio Tale of the Wise
Men of Gotham," founded on a com
mission, signed by Henry VIII., to tbe
magistrates ol the parish to prevent
poaching. All nations .nr? nmVJb'fir

JELL Y AND'MARMALADE.
It is most convenient with crab-
apple and pluma to make jelly and
marmalade irom tbe same iruit, ana
both are tbe nicer fur thia separation
ol juice and pulp. One thus save
sqeezing the fruit juice through a jelly-
bug. 1 let tbe plum drain through a
cullender, but the slewed crab-apple
(stewed soil, with very little water,)
are bung upin bags to drain all night.
l he juice is then ready to be measured
and boiled before the addition of a
"pound of sugar for a pint of juice" a
scant pound lor apple and plum. Tba
pulp remaining in tb Dag or cullen
der ia rubbed through a aieve or cullen
der, to remove seed and skint, and
only needing to be boiled a abort time
with tbe sugar (three-fourth or a
pound, or a little lesa, to a pound of
pulp), when it is thick and firm enough
lo put away. Tb rule is, to nse three
lour ths of a pound of sugar for one
pound of fruit, but less Is needed if you
put up tbe marmalado in self sealing
glass jars. - Those jar are to cheap
now that one can afford to use tbem
for all tort of aweet-meat, and so save
a deal of trouble in tboir keeping. You
can aweeton your "preserve" to suit
your tasto, not having to dopend upon
an excessive use ot sugar to make
tbcm "keep." As all kinds of sweet
meat spoil quickly after tbey are
opened out, it ia prudent to put them
up in small jar to be used up at once.
The glass jars tbat bavo been emp
tied ot the earlier summer fruit may
be immediately used again in preserv
ing later fruit, Ac. When you stew
a small qbantlty of cranberries, you
may a well itew enough more to fill
a jar, sweeten tbem ready for the ta
blo, and seal tbem up boiling hot, and
then you can bave cranberry sauce
wben it it usually ont of season. If
apples are plenty, and hard to keep,
fill up the empty jars with nicely
stewed ones, and have them for aauc

Made a Mistake. Last week a
tenant entored the office of a Tippernry
land agent, and throwing a roll of
note on the table, exclaimed : "There'

lave it ; hv ye take it I'll go to th

the roll of note and counted the
money. "Why, my good man, there
ia more than a half year's rent here.

the tenant, putting bit hand into hi
