STORIES OF THE DAT. A GOOD FLAIH WASH. An amusing anecdote is told by an old inhabitant of Kinderhook, of Thomas H. Benton when the crnprt of Mr. Van Baren at one of those famona dinner parties for which "Llndenwald" was noted in its palmy days. After the dessert had been served, finger-bowls were brought in and were viewed with some suspicion by one or two of the rueste. When dinner was over Mr. Benton said to a friend : I observed Mr. Van Baren immerse the tips of his fingers in one of those little glass bowls and wipe them daintily on hi nankin, but I iaet rolled back mw aWrps and took a eood, plain, republican wash." Brook lyn Mag azine. A CALL OF BLCE. Sparrows may be cross, unamiable little brutes, but they are intelligent enough to know on which side their bread is buttered. The other morn ing a lady was waked by a mourn ful noise, and, looking up from her pillow, bebtld two sparrows on the eill of the open winnow, tugging away at a ball of blue wool that had been used for some fancy work and left on the Uble the previous night The object of the sparrows ww burglary, for they had not only entered the room, but had draeged their plunder nearly out of th win dow before being discovered. The lady looked on the performance with breathless interest, and finally had the satisfaction of seeing the fattest burglar fly away with the spoils, closely followed by his pal. Hodon Jtcacon. A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING. One day my housecat rushed into my room having in u mouth a spar row caught in the neighboring gar den. Scarcely bad I'uss entered the room when she let the bird free, evi dently with the purpose of playing with it, as is the custom of cats with mice before devouring them. The sparrow having one of its wings injured could not escape by ilying, but boldly began to attack ita huge enemy by fierce blows on the noe with its beak. The cat seemed as tonished at the attack, and leat a retreat. From that moment the two seemed to forget their natural in stincts and came to a mutual under standing. The truce continued, and gra iuallv grew to a fraternal friend ship. They ate, played, and slept together. Often they ran about the house the sparrow perched upon the cat, and sometimes carried gently in the cat's mouth from which it was released on the first wish to be free. . When feeding together Puss nev er touched a morsel till her friend had first partaken. Many of my fnends came to see the strange eicht and were much amused at the pro ceedings of the friendly pair. One morning the sparrow seeing the win dow open, and its wings being now in good order, took its flight and I saw it no more. Whether it ever remembered its captivity with regret I can not know, but I am bound to add that Puss did not die of grief on account of losing its companion. I'cvve Scientific. a dog's memory. Professor Bouley, of Paris, gives the following remarkable instance of memory in animals. A wntch-dog, belonging to the General Omnibus Company, named Jupiter, was al ways spoken of as a "ferocious"' ani mal, its instincts and habits being exceptionally savage and sullen. Only one of the men in the yard ev er ventured within Lis reach. The dog one day got a kick from an om nibus horse, which broke its front leg. The bandage which was ap plied was too tight, and caused in fiammation,which threatened to turn to gangrene. As it was suffering intense pain, it was taken to M. Va tel, surgeon, and M. Bouley applied an anirathetic of ether before it un derwent an operation by M. Vatel. About a month afterward M. Bouley had occasion to accompany M. Va tel to the omnibus establishment at Montrouga, at which place he was the veterinary surgeon. The mo ment Jupiter saw M. Bouley he manifested the most demonstrative signs of pleasure. All present were astonished when M. Bouley patted his head, while the poor dog showed unmistakable signs of recognition and sympathy. M. Bouley remarks that th most singular point in the case was the short time in which he had been en rapport with the dog. the application of the ether being effected in a few momenta. The in tensity of the pain at the time and the sudden relief must have made the deepest impression on the suffer ing animal, and we know the memo ry of such impressions is most vivid. General Sheridan's Three Girl. Children ol olncials otten give a refreshing side to social life at the capital that makes it not all superfi cial and tnvolous.

The twin girls, Mary and Louise, look up to their older sister, Ireoe, who is but a year older than themselves, with a faith amu sing. "So you three little girls are sis ters, said a lady, meeting the trio out for a walk. "Oh, no : we are twins. Irene is our sister," replied one of the pair with serious simplicity. At the fancy dressed children's par ty given at General Beale s house Irene wore a long train. Little John ny Hazen, only eon of Chief of Sig nal Service Hazen, was so much unused that he laughed at the little lady. . The twins were indignant. and one ot them exclaimed : "J ust see that boy laugh at our sistsr. A-ooat like him a bit, and i . a - aoni enow nis name.'

De troit Free Pre. Sweet lVrn as Feed. Sweet corn is very rarely used as food for stock. When sound it is usually worth much more for seed than for feeding. If, however, a far mer has 135 to 150 bushels which he cannot sell, he can make it useful for feeding to almost any kind of stock, ground as he suggested. He must not expect that it will prove more valuable than ordinary corn. The two as feed are more nearly alike than would be thought, the sugar in one being chemically iden tical with the starch in the other. Both are fattening rather than flesh forming foods, and as sweet corn weighs less than the other it is proba bly less valuable per bushel as feed. The starch in field corn is conver ted into sugar in the stomach as a part of the process of dipetion. Most kinds of stock soon learn to like sweet things, and a portion of sweet corn meal may thus be eaten by a fattening animal after it has taken all it will of plain rations. In this way sweet corn may have a value considerably greater than any analysis would indicate. Milch cows should do well on sweet corn, and the farmer should not forget, if the seed will grow, to utilize some by drilling in a patch tor fodder to be used lor soiling next summer. Sweet corn is much better than field corn for this purpose, and it is no detriment for this use if differeut variety's of sweet corn are mixed in the seed. There is always a good demand for seed sweet corn about plantiug time to sow for fodder. Much can be sold for this use in any farm neighborhood at better prices than it can realize as feed.

He was ridhiz at full speed ; the horse stumbled as it was approaching a bridge, and it ana us naer were thrown down an embankment 50 feet to the creek. The horse was killed instantly, and the boy had a leg and an arm bro ken .and received internal injuries. The boy who was cut with the axe died within fifteen minutes after he was hurt. The other boy will not live. . Dr. Goersen, who was executed in Philadelphia several weeks ago. had s very ingenious arrangement whereby he was enabled to read at night. As there was neither a gas jet nor a lamp allowed in his cell be was obliged to devise some means to aid him to pass awav the time. He obtained a sheet of tin, and af ter Dngbtening it lie placed it out siae nis winoow at such an angle as to catch the rays of light from a gas lamp in the kitchen yard, sixty feet away. These rays were then concentrated inside of bis cell by means of a magnifying glass, and by placing his book or paper near the glass obtained enough light to read by. Vo.da.lw. Ten years ago voudoo dances were ot common occurrence in too lower Dart of Louisiana. A myster ious whisper would circulate from one cabin on the cotton and sugar nlantations to another, and on a certain evening a crowd of colored people would be found congregated in a lonely place on the bayou. The oudou women, aged negress- ee clad in bright, parti-colored rags, shells and feathers, with black cloths wound about their heads, would brew a mess of herbs, blood, to., in a caldron hung over a fire chanting, meanwhile, wild, unintel ligible won'.s over it. nen me fumes began to rise in a black cloud, the other negroes caught hands and danced in a circle, joining in the song. Most ot luem were in a state oi abject terror and excitement Their song ended in shrieks, writhings and epileptic convulsions, which were counted as sacrifices to the Evil Spirit. The old Voudcu women were its priestesses, and to mem, u was believed, was given the power to torture or to murder their vie tims. In one of the low-lying parishes near the bayou Atchafalaya, every field-hand, twelve years aco, joined in these orgies. The people were completely under the dominion of the Vondou women; struck work at their bidding, and would remain idle for days. Any poor wretch whom the priestess cursed was driv en out into the swamps like a wild beast, and left to perish there. One or two enterprising planters at last established schools lor tue children of their laborers, and brought in skilled mechanics to learn them trades. Last spring, a Voudou priestess appeared on her old camping ground, and sent around a summons to a dance, with a threat that she would curse all who refused to r.nmn Mit a sintrie man or woman replied to her call. The overseer I (a colored man) appeared when she i had kindled her fire, and arrested her as a thief. "She scare foolish women into stealing from white folks to bring menev to her. luat she pretend to throw into her pot That sail the black spirit she knows," he said, bontemptously. Voudou worship was at an end in that parish. A Pennilea Man. Blessed is the man who is penni less, for 1h isn't ever slicken for a dollar. The deadhead anuoyelh him not, neither is he pursued by the book agent. He bath no lnend to 'treat; lie is poor and hath no enemies. When he riseth in the morning his stomach is not rebelious from over feeding ; neither does he chink his silver and say : "How shall I get rid of these dimes?' When he eateth he is not vexed by a multitude of dishes. His lands will never take unto themselves wings, neither, will the fire devour his water lots. He is not perplexed about taxes, neither careth he for the rise in lumber. He hath no ties for money, there fore careth not to demonetize : nev ertheless, a dime will he not refuse, nor turn away from a five center. He loveth none but himself ; he is selfish ; yea, fond of fish, clams or chowder ; oysters raw and lobsters in vinegar, will he not despise. He maketh his lair in the bar room ; he squatteth on a keg while it is day and sleepeth in a barrel at night Where the scene of whisky is, there he is found ; he suffereth the lunch with frenzy, and crieth ha ha 1 at the clink of glasses. He liveth Kke ringtailed mok, and dieth like a spotted iehosapbat Asking Gi-ace In a Restaurant. A clerk and his country father en tered a restaurant recently and took seats at a table where sat a telegraph operator and a reporter. The old man was about to say grace when a waiter flew np singing, I have beef-steak, codfish balls and pull-heads." Father and son gave their orders, and the former again bowed bis head. The young man turned the color of a blood-red beet, and touching his arm, exclaimed, in a low, nervous tone : "Father, it isn't customary to do that in restaurants !" "It's customary with me to return thanks to God wherever I am," said the old man. For the third time he bowed his head and bis son bowed his head and the operator paused in the act of carving his beef-steak and bowed his head, and the journalist put back his fish ball aud bowed bis head, and there wasn't a man who heard the short and simple prayer that didn t feel a profoundar respect for the old farmer than if he had been the President of the United States. Turnip Flavor in Milk. r ti- vt yi- 1. r . . . , r , . it' ; i r i . ii, MiiiiHMinn n 11 r nirimn i " ... . u. wu, 1 . . . IIKIICU I writing to the national inr Stock Journal on the subject of tur nips giving flavor to milk and but ter when fed to cows, says that it is only necessary to cut oil the roots from the tubers before feeding in or der to get rid of the strong flavor. Tbis is certainly a novel idea, for it j is equivalent to saying that there; is no strong flavor in the tubers, and 1 that all the obnoxious scent is lo- icated in the few small roots. Mr. llousman favs: MI never knew i clean-dressed turnips to flavor but- ter or milk aud I have used them in considerable quantities for dairy cat tle." While we do not pretend to decide for English farmers on this turnip question, we are quite certain no one in ibis country ever fed tur nips to milch cows without impart ing a rank and objectionable flavor to both milk and butter, if any of the latter was made from the former, In fact, if a cow breathes the air of a stable where turnips are fed it will flavor her milk, even if she does not eat a mouthful of the roots.

General Earle, killed in the Sou dan, is to have a memorial in Liver pool, his native city. rotaioea. Potatoes are throe-fourths water. The solid matter consists largely of starch, with a small quantity ot al bumen and mineral matter held in solution in the juice. The quantity of starch increases during autumn and remains stationary during the winter. The sprouts in potatoes should be removed as soon as they appear, 6ince if they are allowed to grow tbey exhaust the starch and render the potatoes unfit for food. Potatoes should be kept in a dry, cool cellar. Potatoes belong to the same poisonous order as tobacco and nightshade, and contain an acid juice wich is unpleasant to the taste and often renders them indigestible. This lies in and near the rind of the potato, and is drawn out by the heat When the potatoes are baked it es capes in the steam if they are open ed at once, and when they are boil ed it is absorbed by the watr. Po tatoes when first peeled are white, but turn brown on exposure to the air. For this reason they should be covered with cold water as soon as they are peeled. New potatoes are watery, as the starch is not fully formed and they have a very thin skin, which may be rubbed or scrap ed off. Boiled potatoes should be served as soon as they aro soft and should be served the moment the heat bursts all the starch grains which may safely be determined by their soft texture when pierced with a fork else the starch will absorb water, and the potatoes become pasty and unwhohsome. To pre pare the potatoes a la neige select potatoes of a uniform size, wash them and scrub them with a brush kept for the purpose ; pare thera,and put them immediately in cold water. Put them into boiling salted water, allowing one quart of water and one teaspoonful of salt for six large pota toes. Cook half an hour, or until soft, but not until broken ; drain off every drop of water. When they are well drained and mealy beat them thoroughly with a lurk, add salt to tate, and serve at once pnea lightly on hot dish. Jioflon Ad- vrrtuer. Sotne Foolish People.

Frozen Kind The world is full of kindness that never was spoken, and this is not much better than no kindness at all. The fuel in the stoves makes the room warm, but there are great piles of trees lying on rocks and tops of hills where nobody can get them ; thpse do not make anybody warm. You might freeze to death for want of wood in plain sight of these fallen trees if voti htd no means of getting the wood borne and making a fire of it Just so in a family ; love is what mukes the parents and chil dren, the brothers and sisters happy. But if ihey take care never to say a word about it ; if they keep it a pro found secret, as if it were a crime, they mill not be much happier than if thern was not any love among them ; the house will setn-ool even in summer, and if ynu live there you will envy the dog when any one calls him poor fellow.
