Treatment of the Right'! Milk.
"Whnt effect lina removing the crenm
from tho night's milk, upon the quan
tity nml quality of tho cheese made?
vrnn disonssod by tho Jefferson county
(New York) Farmers' Club, eliciting
the facts that one pound of butter can
bo made from tho cream of 100 pounds
of milk set over night; that after mak
ing the butter from the cream taken
from the night's milk, it required nine
and one-quarter of milk to make one
pound of cheese; that if'the cream
once separates from the milk, it passes
through chemical changes that render
its absorption by the caseine, exoepting
through cohesion, impossible ; that in a
majority of cases where the cream is re
turned to the milk, it becamo melted in
cooking, and passed off with the whey
in oil ; if tho milk is kept in motion by
nn agitator,' or means to prevent the
cream from separating from the milk,
there is danger of churning, and thus
losing all the oil. 'Where cheese is
is made from milk thus treated, viz. :
the cream from
portion made into
not be cooked as
remain in the
tno nights pro
butter, it should
high, nnd . should
whey longer. If
properly made, there is no perceptible
difference between this cheese an i that
in which the cream has been returned.
Query : If tho oil is retained by tho
caseine by cohesion, is it not liable to
become rancid and cnuso the cheese to
bo of offensivo flavor ?
Permanence of Orcliard-Grnss.
A writer in the Philadelphia Press
says : We have a field of it on a strong
sandy loam, which lias stood for more
than thirty years. It has been cut for soil
ing; it hns been cut for hay ; it has been
pastured ; it was first sown with red
clover and timothy, which it long ago
run out, and although the white clover
and blue grass venture their presence
to a limited extent among it, the or
chard grass maintains its supremacy,
nnd, breast-high at maturity, lords it
over its diniiuutive tresspassers in a
bounteous crop, while its humbler at
tendants, good in their place, modestly
fill up a great nutritious undergrowth
at the bottom. No grass which we have
ever grown has yielded so heavy swath
ns this, nor one from which so much
cattle food to the acre can be grown,
aside from lucerne, which our Ameri
can climate, will not, consecutively,
year after year, produce.
Pea Soup. To every quart of un
Bhelled peas allow two quarts of water,
in which boil the empty pods half an
hour; remove, strain, add one pint cold
water, place over the fire, and put in
two pounds of beef cut in small pieces;
boil slowly one hour, and if not enough
water, add some boiling hot; put in the
peas, and if the meat is not desired in
the soup, remove it; boil half an hour
and ten minutes before serving; add two
tablespoonfuls of rice flour stirred
smoothly in half a teacup of new milk;
Btir frequently to prevent tho flour from
scorching.
Putting Screws in Plaster "Walls.
It often becomes desirable to insert
screws in plaster walls, without attach
ing them to any woodwork; but when we
turn them in the plaster gives way, and
our effort is vain. And yet a screw may
be inserted in plaster, so as to hold
light pictures, etc., very firmly. The
best plan is to enlarge the hole to about
twice the diameter of the Bcrew, fill it
with plaster of Paris, such as is used
for fastening the tops of lamps, etc.,
and bed the screw in the soft plaster.
When tho plaster has set, tho screw will
hold very strongly.
Currant Jelly. Take ripe, fresh
gathered currants, and fill up a gallon
jar with them, and set it in boiling wa
ter for an hour; then turn out the juice
carefully, not letting tho berries tall
into it. To each pint of juice take three
quarters of a pound of best lump sugar;
boil all together for twenty minutes;
strain through a jelly strainer into cup3
or glasses which have been dipped into
cold water. When perfeetly stiff, dip a
thin paper the size of tho glass into the
white of an e'ss. and lav over the iellv?
then paste over the glass a piece of stiff
Drown paper, and write thelund of jelly
and the dato upon it.
Anything tor a Sensation.
Thursday night, says the Troy Whig,
a report that uu elopement in high life
had occurred in the city gained credence
nmong a few persons. It originated in
the following manner : A lady well and
favorably known (whose name, for ob
vious reasons, we suppress), becoming
tired of the monotony of her life,
thought to change the current of it by
what she supposed to be a " funny
trick." Tho lady, after carefully secre
ting her jewels and elegant clothing,
hid in an out-of-the-way place in her
father's house, where she remained
many tedious hours, waiting for tho
search which she knew would be made
for her when her absence was discovered.
Night came, and as the maiden had not
made her appearance, inquiries concern
ing her were niado of her friends, who,
of course, knew nothing ubout her.
Her apartments were then searched by
her terrified parents, who became fran
tio when it was discovered that her jew
els and clothing were missing. A letter
found in a jewel-box coolly informed
her parents that she had eloped because
it was romantio to do so, but would re
turn on the following day to beg their
forgiveness. An agonized scream from
the mother of the lady brought her
quickly from her hiding-place. And
thus joyfully ended the affair, which
at the beginning seemed, to the alarmed
parents, one of the bitterest incidents
of their life.
A Harmless Hair Dye.
In the list of hair-dyes one agent has
long been overlooked which is found in
the humblest households. It is too
common nnd humble, indeed, to excite
confidence at first ; but it is said that
the water in which potatoes have been
boiled with the skins on forms a speedy
and harmless dye for the hair and eye
brows. Tho parings of potatoes be
fore cooking may be boiled by them
selves, and the water" strained off for
use. To apply if., the shoulders should
be covered with (Jloths to protect the
dress, a fine comb dipped in the water
and drawn through the hair, wetting it
at each stroke, till the head is thor
oughly soaked. Let the hair dry
thoroughly before putting it up. If
the result is not satisfactory the first
time, repeat tka wetting with a sponge,
taking care not to discolor the skin of
the brow and neck. Exposing the hair
to the sun out-of-doors will hasten the(
darkening, and set this dye. No hesi
tation need be felt about trying this,
for potato water is a safe article used
in the household pharmacopoeia in a
variety of ways. It relieves chilblains
if the feet are soaked in it whil the
water is hot, and it is said to ease
rheumatio gout.
Excitement In the Oil Regions.
A correspondent writing to a Boston
paper from Petroleum Centre, Penn.,
says that tho recent grand strikes in the
oil regions have caused intense excite
ment. At the oil towns of rieasant
villo, Oil City, Eeno, Franklin, Tithole,
and elsewhere, new wells are being
started daily, which produce largoly,
and the oil is of excellent quality.
Most all these " strikes" have been
made on territory which has been con
sidered unproductive by old oil oper
ators. Not only have these important
strikes causod consternation, but the
" flowing" ol tho "dry holes," niado by
disgusted prospectors in the days of
the great oil fevers of 1804 and 18G5, is
a nine days' wonder. Theso " dry
htlc8,"which are located in all parts of
the region, tho larger proportion, how
ever, being made at Reno nnd Franklin,
are made productive by the use of nitro
glycerine torpedoes, which, being thrown
into tho openings, produce sufficient
concussion to open the interstices in
which the petroleum is secreted. A
great number of theso wells yield ns
high as 200 barrels of "crude" per day.
Speculators from Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, and tho Western cities,
and other places nre "prospecting,"
nnd there is every probability of there
being ns much excitement all through
the regions ns there was in the palmiest
days of the oil fever. The hotels nre
filled with excited crowds of oil pro
ducers, brokers, prospectors, and spec
ulators, and every train brings in more
people interested or anxious to be in
terested in the oil trade. As is not
generally known, nothing in the agri
cultural or horticultural line will grow
in the oil regions, and tho birds never
come here. This is attributable to the
fact that the ground nnd atmosphere are
so thoroughly impregnated with the
smell of petroleum that neither veget
able matter can germinate or the feath
ered species exist. There is nothing
but a dark cloud overshadowing the
whole region, nnd the particles of black
dirt which are continuously flying about
penetrate everything. Tho wives and
daughters of the "oil .pioneers and
kings" never attire themselves in light
clothes, but the apparel generally con
sists of sombre shades. Many places
are always in an Erebus-like state,
which is only heightened by the nid of
lamps. Tho streets are lighted with a
natural gas supplied from the wells,
which comes from the pipes in one solid,
hissing flame, which burns constantly
day and night. Tho people have a be
grimed nppenranco, looking ns though
they had been smeared with "crude
petroleum" and then dusted with black
dirt. But through this darkness will
be seen sparkling on tho shirt-bosom of
an "oil prince" a $10,000 or 50,000
diamond.

Winning Without a Driver.
There was a rather unusual incident
at the Steubenvillo race grounds, says a
Pittsburgh paper. It was in the pacing
race for a purse of $300, free to all.
There were five entries. The winning
horse was Copperbottom. He took the
first heat, nnd in the second heat the
sulky of Copperbottom came into colli
sion with another, and was instantly
overturned. The driver of Copperbot
tom was of course thrown out, and it
was expected that Copperbottoin would
run away. Contrary to expectation,
however, the horse never broke once,
and came in amid the wildest of cheers
ahead, in as good style ns if his driver
had been behind him. The enthusiasm
of the crowd was immense. They
cheered and cheered the self-possessed
horse which had declined to get fright
ened, like most of its kind, when re
leased from a driver's care.
The judges were at first going to give
the heat to the horse which came in
second, because Copperbottom came in
without a driver. The crowd getting
wind of the possible ruling against the
gallant Copperbottom, gathered around
the stand, while from every hand went
up cries of Copperbottom ! Copper
bottom 1"
The judges sawif they should give the
race to the second horse that the crowd
were just in the mood to pull the stand
down about their ears. They then re
tired, and after consultation, ruled the
heat a dead heat. They would have
been obliged to give the heat to Copper
bottom, as he never broke once, had it
not been for the claim of foul put in by
the driver of the sulky with which Cop
perbottom collided.
As it was, it is one of the rare events
of the turf where a horse has lost its
driver, but yet has kept its place in the
race as if nothing had happened.
A Trontlng Scene,
Presently we got to a broader stretch
of water, as clear as ever, interspersed
with huge patches of weod between
which, every now and then, w watched
some goodly fish come'np, and quietly
suck down a midge. So bright was the
water that even twenty yards "away we
could make out a noble trout, sailing
around in the sunshine, and quietly
feeding ns he went. This quiet feed
ing wns a good sign, and in spite of the
glassy water I determined to bpgin nt
once, and to hook that very fish. It
took a long time to rench him, and ns
luck would have it the sun came out
brighter nnd clearer than ever ; but I
worked Steadily on,' nnd gradually
lengthened my throw till the fly touched
tho water within a yard of the trout.
He swam closely up to it, nnd even
broke tho water close to it but that
was all. After repenting this manoeuvre
half a dozen times, ho sailed back to
tho bank of weeds, and refused to
stir.
"It's no go," said Sylvester ; "he's
too clever an old stager to be gulled in
to rising in such glaring sunshine."
Still I fished on; dropping my fly
again nnd ngnin within a foot of tho
weeds. Suddenly, when I had given up
all hope, the fish began feeding ngain; in
another moment ho had swallowed the
quill gnat, and was rushing out into
deep water, in the middle of the lake.
I gave him his fling for a few ynrds.and
then worked him steadily back to the
shallow, where I could plainly see him;
shortening my line as lie came nearer,
and now giving him the full force of
tho butt. lie fought nobly, leaped into
the air, nnd dashed toward his old lair
in tho weeds but for nil these tricks I
wns prepared; nnd in five minutes time
I had him within a foot of the grassy
bank, though apparently as strong ns
ever.
" Get below him," said I toSylvester;
" quietly drop the net underneath and
lift him out."
In a trice he was on tho grass; a well
made, prime fish, white in the belly,,
and of a steely gray along the sides and
back, spotted with black, and here and
there a sprinkle of brilliant crimson.
He weighed just a pound and n quarter.
By this time the morning clouds had
got well up into the sky, a light breeze
rippled the water in all directions, and
before we had got a hundred yards down
the lake I had killed two other trout,
nenrly as large as the first: one of gold
en yellow spotted with crimson, and the
second of steely gray. As tho breeze
freshened, tho sport grew more nnd
more exciting; I rose fish on nil sides of
me, hooked nnd lost four or five, nnd at
last landed one half-pounder, which
(according to the squire's rule) was at
once put into the hike again, where he
darted off unhurt, to tell his friends of
his strange adventures on laud. Tins

A Wicked Plot.
A plot to blow up a house, with all
its inmates, was made a few days
ago near Mansfield, O., by a man named
Uobbs and somo hired accomplices.
Tho house was occupied by a family
named Bernard. A young girl of that
family had instituted a suit for damages
against Dobbs, who wns her uncle. The
motive of Dobbs in desiring to blow up
the house was to avoid this second suit,
he having been already compelled to
pay Si.000 damages as tho result of a
suit previously brought by the girl's
parent. The plot to destroy the house
and its inmates was betrayed by one of
the men hired by Uobbs to assist in it,
and the authorities were enabled to
catch the parties in tho very net of
firing the gunpowder. Dobbs escaped
during the night, but was retaken on
the next morning. Taken to Mansfield
he was allowed to go, enter the bail for
his nppearance in the sum of cuOO,
while another was permitted to go on a
bail of SVM. It is thought that Dobbs,
who is a rieh man, his fortune being
variously estimated at from $50,000 to
$20,000, will never appear tor trial,

The Log House of Norway.
A correspondent, who has been hay
ing a week of uninterrupted sunshine
near the North Cape, gives the follow
ing description of Norwegian houses
which may interest our readers; You
mny suppose that log houses were born
on Plymouth Rock, but I find the most
convincing evidence that they existed
in Norway centuries, perhaps, before
Plymouth Rock was known. A yet
more interesting fact at least to me
is that the fashion has not changed.
Improvements there have been in many
ways, but the log house of Norway is
the most fashionable, perhaps because
the moBt comfortable house. In regions
far removed from timber, nnd where
Btone nnd lime nnd clay abound, even
there the log house obtains universal
preference. During my trip up and
down this long line of Norwegian coast,
I have had many opportunities to ex
amine the old as well as the' new con
structions. Let me tell you first of the
old.
The logs are squared and nicely dove
tailed at the corners. Grooves are then
cut, with tho broad axe, on both the
under and tho upper surface. When
the log is finally laid in its pluco, this
double groove is filled with moss, nnd
moss is nfterward cnnlked into the log
seams. The partitions are built with
the house, and in the same thorough
manner as the outside walls. Tho
houses are never more than two stories
high, and the roofa nre steep nnd heav
ily timbered. A covering of slabs is
fitted, round side down, to the roof tim
bers; and over these slabs comes one or
more layers of birch bark. Then comes
heavy timber coping along the eaves
and up the roof at eitl.er end. On this
is laid sods of rich earth well packed to
a thickness of about Bix inches, and
these, in this moist climate, furnish an
abundant grassy finish. The only essen
tial differences between the old nnd the
new Norwegian styles of house building
are in the substitution of red tiles, and
occasionally of slate, tfr the sod roofs,
and the casing of te timber, which
forms the body of the house, with thin
boards, for looks' sake.
Within a year the town of Namsos,
about one hundred miles north of Dron
theim, was almost totally destroyed by
lire; and it is now in course of rebuild
ing. Here, notably, the work.of build
ing is going on upon a considerable
scale, and the two modes appear side
by side. A few finished buildings there
are, which would hold high rank among
the best of our American country homes
in architecture; while in comfortable
exclusion of cold, we hove not a country
house, ot whatever material, that would
bear a rigid comparison with the poor
est of them. Double glazing of window
sashes outside and in tho packing of
every window and doorframe with moss,
and a careful papering of every room,
are some of the means taken to prevent
any circulation of the frosty nir. For
winter comfort, combined with the ut
most facility for every conceivable or
namentation, commend to me the Nor
wegian log house.
Brown's Wooden Wedding.
Brown, a young insurance friend of
ours, says the Jioston Traveler, who
lives in Cambridge, had the fifth anni
versary of his wedding occur about a
week ago, nnd his friends determined to
celebrate his wooden wedding by a sur-
prise party. Brown came in yesterday
and told us how they succeeded. They
commenced by sending a servant round
with a team to take Brown and his wife
out to ride at about seven. Then they
began to come with presents and mate
rials for supper. There was a little par
ty of five came first, all laden hands
full. They all got nicely inside tho gar
den gate, which shuts with a spring.
when Brown's big mastiff, who is always
lett unchained in his master s absence,
came round tho corner and surprised
them. Ono woman stepped on her
dress, and in her fall so demoralized a
fragile black-walnut book-case she car
ried that it was afterwords done up in a
bundle and presented as kindling-wood,
Another fellow got safely out of the
yard, all but part of his ponts, whileold
Smithers, who weighs 2M pounds,
plunged wildly, with the eight-gallon
pail of ice-cream he caaried, through
Brown's glass hot-house in the corner
of the yard, and surprised some thirty
dollars' worth of exotics. Finally they
faxed things up and got into tho house,
nnd ns it wns about time for Brown's
return they commenced laying the supper-table.
They got down a tea set of
rare china that a friend of Jirown s in
tho trade had loaned him a week before,
and broke two pieces, so that Brown has
since been obliged to mortgage his hen
house and bny the set; and the com
ments of Mrs. Brown when she saw the
condition of the carpet were sarcast ic in
the extreme. Finally as a crowning
touch, they tried to hang out Chinese
lanterns with the word "Welcome" on
them, on the porch over the front door.
They succeeded in hanging two lan
terns, and when they had saved the
house from the fiery fiend there wasn't
enough porch left to pay for the trouble
of trying to hang out any more. Then
they sat down and waited for Brown
and his wife to come home. We draw
the veil over the scene that followed
their return. Some scenes aro too joy
ous to be described in cold, cold
words.
Fortune Telling.
A pleasant parlor amusement is af
forded bv a knowledge of nalmistrv.
and young people may find food for
mirth in uie examination oi me nana
for signs of character. It is absurd to
judge any one by theso signs, but tho
process is pleasing. Some of the rules
are as follows : If the palm of the hand
is long, and the fingers well propor
tioned, not soft, but rater hard, it de
notes the person to be ingenious,
changeable, and given to theft and vice,
If the hands are hollow, solid, and well
knit in the joints, it predicts long life,
Observe the finger of Mercury that is
the little finger ; if the end of it exceeds
the joint of the third finger, such a man
will rule his house, and his wife will be
E leasing and obedient to him ; but if it
e short, and does not reach to the
joint, he will have a Bhrew for a partner,
and she will rule her husband. Broad
nails show the person te be bashful and
fearful, but of a gentle nature. Narrow
nails denote the person to be inclined
to mischief and to do injury to his
neighbors. Long nails show a person
to be good-natured, but distrustiui,
and loving reconciliation rather than
differences. Oblique nails signify de
ceit and want of courage. Tattle round
nails denote obstinacy, anger, and
hatred. If they are crooked at the ex
tremity they show pride and fierceness.
Round nails show a choleric person, yet
reconciled ; honesty, a lover of secret
silence. Fleshy nails denote the person
to be mild in temper, idle, and lazy.
Pale and black nails signify the person
to be deceitful to his neighbor, and
subject to many diseases. Red and
marked nails signify cholerio and niur
tial nature, and as many little marks as
there are speak so many evil desires,
More Indian Troubles.
The Yellowstone expedition had at
Inst reports two skieminhes with the In
dians. In tho first, Gen. Custer with
eighty men wns attacked by four hun
dred Indians, in which he had one man
wounded. Four days nfter Custer with
450 men was attacked by 800 Indians,
and a fierce fight took place, in which
one soldiet was killed and some twenty
wounded. The Indian loss is esti
mated at forty killed and wounded. The
Indians in both fights were well armed
with heavy rifles and had abundant
ammunition.' Some were dressed in
clothes procured at the agencies. Those
were mainly Unenpnpos, supposed to
be under command of Sitting Bull.

From the Boston Dally Advertiser.)

dent's dissatisfaction with him was his refusal
as auditor to cortify tho correctness ot accounts,
which he knew to have been falsified, by the
President, and the said President should then,
without anv explicit donial of this, launch upon
the Press an overwhelming amount of advertis
ing patronaqe, ingeniously contrived to lead
the public mind away from the true issue, who
ought to pay for this advertising the company
or the President himself t
Hub question is respectfully annmittea to tne
policy-holders of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Now York, hundreds of whom are
doubtless readers of the Advertiser. It Is of
some material interest to them. In reply to the
oard of SitEPPAnn Homans, lately printed in the
Advertiser, stating ratuor pungentiy wny Mr.
Wiustok, then President, wished to get rid oj
him, a very costly advertisement is going
through the' leading newspapers from one end
of the country to the other, and the nearest it
conies to answering HomaiiB' damning accusa
tion against the President not against the
company is this: ''Mr. Homans was removed
from ins position in tins company ior sumcieni
cause, by the unanimous action of its board of
trustees."
Vol anvthing that appears in this volumin
ous and iiTelevant advertisement, the thirty-
six trustees, wliose names aro appended to it
may have " unanimously" removed Mr. Ho
mans if they ever did anything of the sort
lust because he refused to audit false accounts.
The money is thrown awav, even as a defence
of Winston j and the company lias not been at
tacked. How long are the policy-holders going
to allow Winston to light his battles with their
money, especially when he has nothing better
than the Chinese weapons of fog and fragrance

Want of Vitality
If a deficiency cf vital energy li not a dteaia in

to the attacks of all conceivablo maladlei. Night
and day wo are furrounded more or leaa by delete
rious influences. No atmosphere is entirety pure,
no water utterly free from hilarious particles;
while in many localities both are positively un
wholesome. What defence has the weak languid
system, in which the vital principle is deficient or
dormant, against any of the morbid influences
which produce epidemic and other diseases ? None
whatever. There is no safety save In artificial rr.
Infurcement. Hostottcr's Stomach Bitters have.
beyond all question, a vitalizing effect. If the nerv
ous forces of the body have beeu recklessly ex
pended in i xhausting physical or mental labor, r
dissipated in the indulgences of a " last" life, this
powerful vegetable ionic and corrective will re
store thrm. If the defective vitality is a constitu
tional evil it can be remedied to a great extent by
this wonderful invigorant. At a season of the year
when the air is more or le3s impregnated with the
seeds cf poiiodic fevers, tt is especially desirable
that the digestion should be perfect, the habit of
body reguur, the liver active, the blood pure and
the nerves Arm. These' conditions are the best
protection against all disorders, and they are con
uiiions which the Bitters are better adapted than
ny other medicinal agent to proaiote and secure.
ee to it, however, that no Imitation or counterfeit
