FA KM, GARDES AND HOUSEHOLD. Neatness la ftlaklna: Batter. The Practical Farmer pays it Is ad mitted by butter makers of extensive ex perience tlint impurities and noxious odors in the atmosphere, where crenm is rising, will injure the flnvor of the bntter. X. A. Willard writes on this subject, that " when milkers are allowed to come directly from the stable to the milk room, it will be impossible to keep the latter place sweet and clean for the time being." There are hundreds of butter makers, we are aware, on whom the importance of this single point cannot be too strong ly urged, since tlioj often consider many little things of this kind in regard to dairy management too insignificant to merit attention. But in butter making the observance of little things is often the great secret of success. There is no doubt that immense quan tities of poor butter ate made from the milk set iu impropar places. The kitchen pantvy, the living room and the collar used to store vegetables and other faiily supplies will impart peculiar taints to the milk and cream, in such a degree as to bo destructive to flavor, even though the butter in other respects be skillfully hnndled. Dairy rooms so situated as to catch the odor from the pig sty, the cesspool, or other decomposing filth, cannot be used for making good butter. There should be a freedom from filth Hid impurities of every description about the milk house, and the milk should be delivered by the milkers in an anteroom, or some point ontside the milk room, and from thence conveyed to the place where it is to bo set for cream. In this way the fumes and the litter from the stablo may be kept from the milk room. The causes of poor butter are various, the most important of which are lack of cleanliness, the want of proper dairy utensils, the need of a good dairy room or place for setting the milk, neglect in manipulating the cream at the right titno, unskillful working, packing, and storing the butter, and finally, lack of knowledge in a part or whole of the pro cess required for making.a prime article. Ilottaeliold Hints. To Clean Urns. Beeswax inclosed in a piece of old mnslin will clean the surface of urns beautifully. Gold Cake. Three-fourths cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar, two cup fuls of sifted flour, one-half teaspoon- ful of soda, dissolved : one cupful of milk, one teaspoonful of cream of tar tar, and one tablespoonful of essence of lemon. Silver Cake. One-half cnpfulof but ter, two cupfuls of sugar, the whites of eight eggs, three-fourths of a cupful of milk, two and one-half cupfuls of sifted flour, one-half teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of cream or tartar, one tablespoonful of essence of almond. Tapioca Jelly. Two cupfuls of tapi oca ; wash it in two or three waters soak it hve or six hours ; simmer it in the water it was cooked in, with a little salt, until it becomes transparent, then add the juice of one lemon and loaf sugar to flavor it. Lot all simmer to gether and put it in a glass dish to cool, Lihot Potpie Crust. One pint sour milk or buttermilk, one teaenpful sour cream, and one teaspoonful of soda ; mix hard like bread, and let rise one hour Dover roll or cut it, but nip it off in pieces the size you wish ; boil thirty miuutes ; let the pot be uncovered the first fifteen minutes, and tlien cover closely. Be sure that it does not stop boiling from the time the t rust is put in uutd it is taken up, and it will always be as light as a puff, if not too much crowded in the pot. Ucfi'rllve lliocse. D. T. B.. Allegany county, N. Y, asks the Times what makes cheese be come brittle and strong in flavor soon after being made, and how to avoid it. Reply. The otvuse of this defect is the development of too much acid in the curd before putting it to press. To avoid it draw off the whey aud put the curd to pres3 when the acidity reaches the exactly proper point. Experienced cheese makers know when this point ar rives by the taste, smell, and handling of the curd, but it is impossible to de scribe these sufficiently to make any others recognize them. What is called ike "hot iron" te6t, however, will an swer every purpose. This is as follows: Take an iron rod, such, as an ordinary Btove poker, aud heat it in the fire until it will make water simmer or " sizzle." Then touch the curd to the hot iron; if it is not acid enough it will not stick; if just right it will stick, aud when drawn away it will make threads, which break when drawn out three of four inches long; if too acid the threads may be drawn out a foot or more before they break. After the uso of this test a few times one becomes able to judge of the state of the curd without it. Farm Note. Swine will wallow in the mud, but not when there is clean water near by. The Boston Cultivator tells of a man who paid $40 for two bushels of hulless oats, and raised seven bushels. He thinks if we depend on them for our por ridge we shall go hungry, to say noth ing of the horses. Raising seedling potatoes is no more difficult than raising tomato plants; and if the boys on the farm would practice a little more of this kind of diversion good results might follow, and it would certainly do them no harm. Carelessness or neglect in selecting seeds occasions great losses every year. Above all thiugs avoid foul seed. A man who will recklessly seed his ground to weeds is unworthy of the honored name of a farmer, and a man who will delib erately and knowingly sell foul seed ought to be liable to a criminal prosecution. Too Much for the Heart. Senator Foster, who lived for many J'ears at Brighton, Vt, though not ft arge man, had great strength. Being in the woods one day, he saw two bear cubs lying on the ground, with their noses turned toward each other. He had a gun, but he wanted them alive. Plac ing his gun in a position where he could swing it nnder his arm, after he had sc oured his prey, he crept softly to the sleeping animals, and suddenly grasped each by the nose. He expected in this manner to hold them so firmly that they could not squeal, but one of them fell from his grasp. Nothing daunted, Jack caught him by the hind leg, se cured his gun, aud e farted for home on the run. The cnb whose nose was free set np a loud cry, and the old mother soon made her appearance. Jaok heard her crash ing through the bushes after him. It was but fifty rods to the clearing, and ho bad but ten rods the start. It was a case of life and death, but he wouldn't give np the cubs. There was a high log fence just in the edge of the clearing, and fortunately a large log lay along side. With one tremendous bound Jack leaned on the log. Another muscular bound carried him over the fence into the field. The bear was on the fence as soon as Jack struck the ground. But sho hesitated a moment about following him in the open field, and he sped away so fast that she finally turned back into tuo woods, and Jack escaped. On another occasion this Nimrod was in the woods unarmed, one March day, when the snow was six feet deep, and the surface so soft that no one could walk on it without snow shoes, a pair of which Jack had ou. A bear which hail just awakened from his winter nap made a dive at him. lie leaped away from tlie brute, but went deep into the snow, and bruin was upon him. The battle begun, man and beast rolling over each other in the desperate struggle. As often as the bear tried to seize him with her teeth, or overpower him with the fat4d hug, Jack would always save himself by kicking her ou the nose with the snow shoes. Finally, with one fierce plunge of cluws and teeth, the brute fastened upon Jack, and failing to hold him, tore off almost all his clothing at a single swoop; but, fortunately, lust at that moment he hit the tip of her nose a most powerful kick. A blow on the end of the nose causes pain so acute as to disable a bear for a time, and it had that effect in this case. The brute gave back a little, and while she was wincing nnder the pain, Jack regained his feet and got several steps away. His assailant started after him again, but the snow was soft and she almost buried herself at every step, while Jack walked on the surface And escaped. So his snow shoes, which rendered him a clumsy fighter, finally saved kin lite. She Was Frightened. A petite little miss called at the St. Louis polioe station very full of busi ness, and asked to see the captain. Cap toin Hueblor came forward, fixed his savage and nnsympathotio eye on her, and asked what was wanted. The little miss blushed and trembled, and said that she wanted to have Mr. ar rested. " Bnt what for ?" asked the captain. " 'Coz I'm afraid of him. I'm afraid he'll hurt me." The captain took in her diminutive proportions deliberately, and then asked : " What should no want to hurt you for t" " Why, just 'coz " and she begun to fidget and hunt for her handkerchief. Well," said the captain, "yon will have to tell me all about it if you want me to do anything for you." She got her handkerohief ready, stood on one little foot, caught hold of the railing and begun i " Well, yon see, Mr. nsed to come to see me, and I I I fell in love with him and then he went away. Then I loved him so mnch I wrote to him and told him he had to come back again. And he wrote to me and said that he thought he'd better not come back because he could never marry me for some reason or other, aud as he didn't want to get very much iu love with me, which he would if ho came back, he thought he oughtn't to come. Then I wrote to him aguin and he agreed to come, snying that I knew what the re sult would be. He came, and after he had been coming to soo mo awhile ho told me that (something very near a sob) that he was married already. Then I told him that he shonldn't call at our house any more, but he wouldn't mind me. Ho said ho would have me, dead or alive, and that he was gotting a di vorce from bis wife so that we could get married I don't waut him to come any more, Mr. Captain, and I want to have him arrested. The captain looked very suspiciously like smiling. " What shall I arrest him for f " he asked. " He hasn't violated any city ordinance." This was a poser. She stared at the captain awhile, and then asked "Oonldnt I have him arrested for threatening to kill me? You know he sai l he'd have me, dead or alive." The captain was evidently struck with the ingenuity of the proposition, but ho told the sufferer that she had better go to a magistrate's office and swear out a peace warrant against Mr. . She tained around slowly, and, giving one beseeching look behind, went out the door. About Scarecrows. M Now that the planting season is at hand, we have no doubt that many A farmer will rummage through his garret to find the cast-off garments, which, stuffed with straw, are t be sot np in the cornfield to warn off the maranding crow. We have never had mnoh faith in this artifice. Crows are possessed of mnch more wisdom than is generally credited to them ; and while an immov able bundle of rage may drive them away for a short timo, we believe that eventu ally they discover tho humbug, as we have seen the birds complacently pick ing np young corn almost within the shadow of as an elaborate a stuffed snare crow as ever was erected. We, however, have heard suggested a oonple of plans, which are calculated to intimidate even the boldest of these birds; ami as they are easily carried out, perhaps our farmer readers may make uso of thnm. The first and best is a suspended looking ?;lass. Take two small cheap mirrors, astcn them back to back, attach a cord to one angle, and hang thctn from an elastic pole. When the glass swings in the wind the sun's mys arn reflected nil over the field, even if it be a largo one; and even tho cldnst and bravest of crows will depart precipitately should ono of its lightning Hashes lull on linn. Tho second plan, although a terror to crows, is especially well suited to field stiljectod to tho inroads 01 small birds and even chickens. It involves an arti ficial hawk made from a big potato and lone crooso and turkey leathers. lii maker can exercise his imitative- skill in sticking the feathers into the potato so that they resemble the spread wings and tail of the hawk. It is astonishing what a ferocious looking bird of prey can bo constructed from tho abovo simple ma terials. It only remains to hang tho ob ject from a tall bent role, and the wind will do the rest. The bird makes swoops and dashes in the most headlong and threatening manner. ' Even the most in ouisitivo of vonerablo hens has been known to hurry rapidly from its danger ous vicinity, while to small birds it car ties unmixed dismay. John Speaks for Himself. The San Francisco Chronicle gives the following letter on the subject of Chinese laborers. It it addressed to the good peoples of California : What we can see, you can see. What's good. What's bad. What's right. What's wrong. Your great government over all the States, says to all we make treaty with, come and be good and we give you protection all the same, and for bad punish all the same. The Ciiinee no like to make treaty at first, like to keep all her peoples at home. The English and the Americans say we shall, for we have no right to keep by ourselveo. They fight and make ns open our ports for their peoples to trade. Then they write in treaty we come to go to their countries all the same as German, Irbk and French and other peoples. Wo come to California and go to Australia. In Australia they no like our habits and customs, but they treat us all the same as others. In California the Ameri cans treat ns all the same. The politi cals say we all bad and dirty that come from China ! You can see ? We no drink in the saloons, nor fight with other peoples. We keep our monies and work cheap. There are bad Irish, but Ger mans all same as Chinaman. There are a great many more Chinaman than both iu California. You go to the city hall court and see if thero are more bad Chinamen ? The great traveler captain say the European no take us in Hong Kong, Canton and Shanghai without bonds. You can writs and see, all China servants there. What for the Americans have ns in their houses if we are not clean and steal ? You can see ? Chonq Wo. A Repentant Llou. In the beginning of the last century, there was iu the menagerie at Cassel a lion that showed an astonishing degree of tameness toward the woman who had the care of him. This went so far that the woman, in order to amuse the com pany which came to see the animal, would often rashly place not only her hand, but even her head, between his tremendous jaws. She had frequently performed this daring act without suf fering injury; but once, having intro duced her head into the Uod's mouth, the animal made a sudden snap, and killed her on the spot. Undoubtedly this catastrophe was unintentional on the part of the lion; probably at the fatal moment the hair of the woman's head irritated the lion's throat, and com pelled him to sneeze or cough. This supposition seems to be con firmed by what followed; for as soon as tho lion perceived that he had killed his attendant the good tempered and grate ful animal exhibited signs of the deep est melancholy; laid himself down by he dead body, which he would not nnflfar to be taken away from him; refused to take any food, and in a few days pined himself to aeain. An Awful Story. There was once an awfnl little girl, who had an awful way of saying " aw ful " to everything. She lived in an awfnl house, in an awful street, in an awful village, which was an awful dis tance from e ery other awful place. Sho went to an awful school, where she had an awful teacher, who gave her awful lessons ont of awful books. Every day she was so awful hungry that she ate an awful amount of food, so that she looked a nt ul healthy. Her hat was awful small, and her feet were awful large. She went to an awful preacher. When she took an awful walk, she climbed awful hills, and when she got awful tired, she sat down nnder an awful tree to rest her self. In summer she found the weather awful hot, and in winter awful cold, When it didn't raiu, there was an awful drought, and when an awful drought was over there was an awful rain. So that this awful girl was all the time in an awful state, and if she does not get over saving "awful about everything, she will, by-and-bye, come to an awful end. Municipal Taxes. a recent year are David A. Wells declares in paper that $280,000,000 a raised in the country by municipal taxa tion, and that it cost more to govern New York in 1872 than it did to pay all the national expenses in 1849, and in 1871 in New York the local taxes paid were $50,429,000, while twenty years previous the cost of maintaining the general government was but $64,577,000, scarcely any more. It is taxes like these, says the New York Express, which drive people ont of the city, out of the State and out of the country, and one reason why so many rich Americans go abroad is because they live hand somely there upon about the amount of their taxes at homo. Getting the Bonanza Points. He was not a large man, says the San Fraucisco Post, except in his ideas and in the manner of his speech. His face was as grave as the Chinese problem, but there was a quizzical cast in his left eye, and his tongue was rich and heavy with a foreign accent, albeit as rapid as the running waters of tho river Dee, Leaning against the frightful head of one of the iron lions in California street, with the general appearance of being ready to either brace np the market or stand from nnder, he voiced this idyl "It's a fine thing to dale in stocks whin you know ye re right. I get all me points from Flood. Misther Flood's frmd o mine. 1 make all me money through him. He's a kind adviser. A few days agone I wint to me frind Flood, and sez I : Misther Flood,' sez I, would I be best buying a f6w shares of SaTnuH ?

I get all me points from me frind Flood ; but don't be talkin' about it ; he might change his system some time an' break me." Determined to Wed. That love laughs at difficulties the ro mantic story of two youthful elopers from Alabama proves. They both be longed to highly respectable families, but the bride's father was unalterably opposed to the match. Bo the lovers re solved to take the train for Sol ma, where thov honed to be united. But on arriv ing at the station they found the train gone; so they concluded to drive on to Manack, and thus evade pursuers. The Tallawassee creek intervened, and was fearfully swollen. In attempting to cross, the coming bridegroom's two horses were drowned, and the bride ap parent barely escaped a watery grave having twice gone beneath. Bnt this difficulty was surmounted, the party reached Manack, and, after the bride bad donned the dresi of a kind hostess. the happy couple took a fresh stort for Selma. where they arrived in due season. But tho yonug lady s age was scarcely sixteen, and no license could be pro cured, and ministers and justices of the peace would not marry them.' So the young couple, nothing daunted, took the night train for Columbus, Georgia, where no impediments arose, and they were duly married. Veteran School Teachers. ;. Senator Wood in introduced a bill into the New York Legislature which pro vides that any teacher who shall have been employed for nn aggregate period of thirty years in nny free school, high school, normal school or college in tho State, supported wholly by . publio funds, may, upon the application of such teacher, and with tho consent of tho board of education or other govern ing body corresponding thereto employ ing said teacher, or by a two-tliinln vote of said board of education without such application ou the part of mill teacher, be retired from aH.ivo servioo, and shall bo entitled thereafter during lifo to an annual pension. It is further provided that said pension shall iki paid ont of tho income of llm United Hlatns deposit funds. Twenty five years of service shall entitle a femstn teacher to the bene fits of this net. Tho amount shall bo determined by tho several boards of education, and shrill not m less than one-half of tho minimi salary received by the teacher at the titno of retirement, and shall le paid at tho same timo and in tho sumo tunntier as tho salaries of tenchers are paid.

In com munities remote from larger towua there teems to be bnt two alternatives for tbe sick ; either to employ the family pbyt-ician or to patronize the patent medicine venders. Thot e who are driven to this extremity, if suffering with ohronio dieease, we would advise to write to Dr. E. B. Foote, of 120 Lexington avenue, N. Y. Dr. P. is the r oted author of " Plain Home Talk," "Medical Common Sense," " Science in Story," and other popular medical works which hare had wide circulation all over the globe. In Dr. F. we have a physician who has had an extensive experience in treating the sick at a distance from his office, and, moreover, his coDsnltatiocs are free. Any one of our readers is at liberty to consult him with tbe mere outlay of a postage stamp. He is said to bave patients at this moment in Germany. Great Britain, Liberia, Chinese Empire, and tbe West Indies. If patent medioines can now and then hit successfully when adopted by peo ple who bave little knowledge of their own or ganizations or of their diseases, bow much more encceKsfully can a physician, afer in stituting all necessary inquiries, prepare reme dies precisely suited to the organization and diseases of tbe invalid ; Juet as a tailor cuts and fits a coat to the back.

Tom Podro, had a good deal of trouble in ono of his southern provinces a few years ago with a new sect of religions heretics who es tablished themselves there, and wLo were said to practice polygamy and other evils. Dom Pedro, determined to root them out, sent a military force to Bio Grande do Bui, attacked them, killed a number of their prophets, and then as certained that they were not as bad as he had supposod. It was after this that he got into trouble at Kio with the hier archy of his own church, Itftd several of its bishops arrested for contumacy, and upheld the courts which convicted and imprisoned them. For his action in this business he was taken in hand by the Pope; but even against the Vatican itself he maintained his ground nntil shortly before his departure for this country. While here hia majesty is evi dently anxious to get a glimpse of the different kinds of religion that exibt among us. The day after his arrival in New York he attended morning mass at St. Patrick's, and then in the evening went to hear Moody and Sankey in the hinnodrome. where be sat ou the plat form, listening closely to the sermon and the songs. The following Sunday he scent in Salt Lake City. In the morn icsT he went to mass, and heard a sermon from the priest against Mormonism; and in the afternoon he attended service at the big Mormon tabernacle, where he heard a discourse in defense of the Mor mon religion from one of the chief apostles of Mormonism. A Good Idea. Some young men in Cambridge, Mass. , have formed an association whose object is to secure the attendance of the more respectable citizens at caucuses and ward meetings. James Russell Lowell has consented to serve as president. The organization is. very simple, as also are its methods of work. A committee of eight is appointed in each ward, and it is their duty to notify the better class of citizens when their attendance is de sired at primary meetings. A Grateful Father. The Chicago Tribune says : A dootor on West Adams street saved a young woman's life two months ago. When he brought round his bill the grateful father replied : " Take her, doctor; she is vonrs: her heart beats on y for you, Me and the old woman will come and live with vou by-and-bye." The son of Ksonlarjius said he wasn't that sort of a man; that he couldn't afford it; that, see ing it was him. he would tako 806. Sixty-six dollars 1" screamed the pious father; " why, I oould have buried her for half the money. fjarriago hlro is saved, as ti&ifcaze is taken to aud from the depot, free of c-xponee.

European plan, ana tuai ine nooa was conunoa to inui i region. Smith's " Dictionary of the ! Bible " devotes over three pages to a critical examination of the extent of the deluge, aud conclusively proves that there is no evidence in Scripture for a general flood over the whole globe ; aud that the astronomical, geological, and natural history difficulties to be enoonn- tered, if we entertain such an opinion, are so great as to render such a state on earth impossible, unless we are pre pared to suppose a series of the most stupendous miracles. The date usually assigned to the Noahian flood is 2516 B. O. The Chinese description is in many respects siugnlarly like the Bibli cal, and according to the Jesuit, M. Martinius, these people compute it to have taken place 4,000 years before tho Christian era. Fah-he, with his wife, three sons and three daughters, alone escaped. But the story of a flood that destroyed all living things upon the earth save one man, who thereafter peo ples it, is to be found among the legends of all nations ; and the later the tradi tion, the nearer it approximates in detail to that of tbe deluge. The Chaldean account of a flood in the time of Xisu- hus, as preserved 'in a fragment of Berosus, agrees in almost all particulars with that of the Bible. For the account ' of the flood, as given in the Koran, whioh is apparently drawn from Biblical and Persian 'sources, consult Sale's "Koran." Other notioes of a deluge may - be found in tbe I'hoonician mythology ; in the Sibylline Oracles ; among the Syri ins ; among the Arme nians. The Indian traditions, as we find it in the Mababharata, agrees most remarkably with the Biblical account ; in the popular version as given in the iuranas, it is so mnca uinguiseu iu allegorical imagery ns to lose all re semblance, but in the Catapat'ha Brahmona, which is the most auoient of all, the resemblance as referred to above is striking.

Dr. Linderman, director of the Uni ted States mint, haa written a letter to the committee on appropriations in reference to the rate of compensation paid at Western mints, whioh the com mittee think too high. Dr. Linderman says a recent examination shows the rate to be rather below than above that paid by private establishments in the same localities ; thereforethere is no violation of law in payiug tho present rate of com pensation. He says the rate of com pensation at Western mints, as well as the cost of all supplies, is above that at Philadelphia, and for tbia reason : It has been determined to run the Phila delphia mint daring the coming fiscal year on subsidiary coin to its utmost capacity, and, as far as possible, work the skilled employees overtime. To do this wDl require au apr-opriation of 8350,000 for wages and 125,000 for in cidental expenses. As the law requires silver coins to be substituted for frac tional currenoy as rapidly as possible, it will be absolutely necessary to run all the mints to their full capacity during the next flcal yr, und tne neoessary aooroDriations lor this LU-pose arc earnestly recommended to be made. The director says : " We shall have to strike at least 140,000,000 pieces of silver coin during the coming fiscal year, to say nothing of the gold and minor coin age, of whioh there is doubt we will be called npon to strike an increased amount."
