A Curious Phase or Social Life. The appointment of Mr. Chandler to the naval portfolio has developed an interesting phase of Washington social life. It will be remembered that when J. Wilkes Booth was shot tbe picture of a handsome young lady, a reigning society belle, was found on his person. The original of the portrait was Miss Hale, tbe daughter of a leading poli tician and statesman, and a lady of whom Booth had become deeply and seriously enamored. What encourage ment he had received was not preoisely known, but there was enough between thee) to form tbe basis of a good rrany romanees, which afterward appeared in the public press. Miss Hale afterward bream e Mrs. Chandler, and is now tbe wife of the secretary of the navy. The earne whirligig of time which has brought this about has also made the then young eon of President Lfbcoln eeeretary of war. It now appears that according to o2ioil etiquette it is the daty of tbe secretary of war to eeoort the wife of his cabinet asaooiate to din ner on state occasions. He must take the We of the secretary of the navy, fciocretary Lincoln, in short, must escort the ona-titae sweetheart of th asuissin of Lis dit;uuiiiLed father, Home house keepers are so wasteful that the or tour thoy have the more f y k Stead, tiic nirt am) r.irt:oM. Cnmcarsitlye Tlu of Hooli. G. W. Hoffman, o! the Elmfra Far mer' club, thinks that roots irA in feeding cattle are worth for that pur pose not more than ten cents as com pared with grain at market rates. JTbe main advantage in the use of roots is in their favorite action in the improve ment of condition, not as flesh-making food so much as an appetizer and regu lator. With corn at one dollar he vrculd prefer to use it rather than pay twenty-five cents for rutabaga. His estimate Of relative values would be not far from five of rutabagas or beets or carrots to one of corn. Potatoes rate higher. They are worth in his feeding nearly half as much as corn say three bushels, perhaps two and a half, of potatoes to one of corn. Common flat turnips he ranks about ten to one. AH these estimates, it must be understood, are for mixed breeding. President McCann would count them worth twenty-eight cents when oorn is a dollar a bushel that is to say, he considers four bushels of rutabagas worth a little more is cattle feeding than a bushel of corn when both are fed together. Feather Beds. Our grandmothers of blessed memory were wont to consider that the crown ing glory of their household arrange ments, the one desideratum for family comfort and respectability, was to have for every sleeping room in the house a nice, soft feather bed of live geese feathers, if possible but a feather bed of some sort for every one of the in mates. Otherwise it was impossible to be considered well-to-do people, and to receive the prestige which assured wealth gave to the first families in those good old times. But within the last thirty or forty years a new generation rose up, who declared that most of their worthy an cestors notions were old fogyisms, which should be discarded by their wise descendants along with the tallow candle and other relics of barbarism with which their unfortunate progeni tors blundered along through life. Candid ones among the new lights admitted, indeed, that some of the fathers lived worthily and left a goodly heritage to their cbildren ; but then "they didn't know the comfort and healthfulness of our modern mat tresses, and the only wonder is that they lived so long and did so well." Softly, good friends I Did it never occur to you that, in the ceaseless revolutions of Fortune's wheel, not only do the low ones go up and the high ones go down, but that, also, many a discarded and ob solete fashion in dress and household furnishing and architecture comes to the fore ? And that the present is pre eminently a time for the restoration of the manners, customs and habits of the olden time, at which it was once the fashion to scoff and sneer? Do not pictures of our great-grandmothers walk the streets in high-heeled shoes, with frizzled hair and looped-u'p kirtles that show bewildering checks and colors in dainty stockings on daintier feet r Do we not build "ceiled houses" now (if we can afford it), and consider wood panels finer than unbroken stretches of whity-brown plastering, and that oak and other hard woods, that bear the brunt of life and leave no scar to tell of childish or clownish buf fet, are slightly in advance of the painted pine in whioh we reveled a gen eration ago ? In this secular " restitution of all things'' the feather-bed has not been forgotten. It appears in our best houses, along with the brass andirons and fen ders, before whose supernal brightness onr dignified grandames dispensed their courteous and bounteous hospi tality. Rich people, imitating the Eu ropean style (for most of these old-new fashions come of travel, and are more or less imitations of the prevailing style of living among the English gentry), nave beds of the costly eider down, lighter than air. and softer than the "flowery beds of ease" against wnion tne austere poet warns us. In Germany the one luxury of that frugal people, after music, seems to be beds of down down above and down below for, with the very refinement of luxury, they sleep between feather beds. Peo ple of more moderate means pride themselves on live geese feather beds, and so on down to cheap hen and turkey feathers, which are but little batter for resting the weary back and shoulders than "the soft side of a plank," or, what is its equivalent in tne estimation of people of feather bed proclivities, the modern mattress. To country people the feather bed is not merely a luxury but a necessity; for tnougn, in oity nouses, warmed through out wiin lurnace neat, tney do not ab solutely need it, it is still impossible ior any (except tne most robust people). who sleep in cold rooms in winter, to keep comfortable during those arotio months without the elastic feather bed that curls about the shoulders and fits into those unwelcome hollows whioh that saucy vagrant, Time, delights to chisel when he has onoe obtained the mastery over youth and plumpness and ronnaea grace. And this somewhat lengthy preamble brings to us tne mam point of this am ole, whioh is to urge upon farmers and poultry fanoiers generally the keeping of ducks and geese, which shall not only furnish a dainty roast for the family or the market, but will yield their worth yearly in feathers for your own use or zor sale, ueese leathers al ways oommand a handsome sum (any where from sixty cents to a dollar per pound) and duck feathers are little, if any, inferior. Farms whioh contain a brook or small pond are the natural forage-grounds of the semi-aquatic fowL and they obtain considerable of their living for themselves in these natural reservoirs of food. But even these "water privileges" are not essen tial, as they do nearly as well with a txassy meaiow or pasture and a tub of water to drink from night and morning and for an occasional bath. The European method of keeping a young boy or girl to look alter the flock in its wanderings might properly be adopted here. It need cot be such an unintelleotual pursuit hers sit la in most foreign countries, for books andjthe ability to read them are w.:;'.;u t!i r'-n-!i of all AmrH"n rl-i!

The child phould be allowed den a portion of the income, which will incite him to faithfulnens and industry, and promote hitf interest in larger and more profitable business when years and opportunity favor biro. Let the raising of ducks and geese for tbe feathers become more of an object among poulterers and we are sure that as much or more, will be realized in proportion to the expense as from any other branch of the poultry business. .World. Recipes. ' Fon a Cough. For a tight, hoarse cough, where phlegm is not raised, or with difHonlty, take hot water often, as hot ae can be sipped. This will be found to give immediate and perma nent relief. Tomato Soup. Three pounds beef, one quart tomatoes, one gallon water. Boil beef about two hours, until reduced to about two quarts of water ; then add tomatoes ; boil about half an hour ; season with pepper and salt, strain and servo. Cocoantjt Oaks. Coooanut cake made from this recipe is as nioe cake ai one need wish to make: Take the whites of five eggs, one small cup of Bweet milk, one cup and two-thirds of another of granulated sugar, two-thirds of a cup of butter, one teaspoonful and a half of baking powder, about three cups of sifted flour, flavor with almond extraot, bake in layers. Beat the whites of two or three eggs to a frost, add pulverized sugar enough to make rather thin frost ing and put between the layers; on this scatter coooanut; put on enough to make a nioe layer; for the top and sides of the cake the frosting should be a little thicker. The best way to get the coooanut on tbe sides is to put it1 on with your hand; you can press it gently upon the frosting and make it stiok to it. Catjufloweb. Unless carefully cooked a cauliflower is a tasteless vege table, but with a properly prepared sauce it can be made a delicious addi tion to every dinner table. Wash the flower well io strong salt and water; then tie in a floured cloth and boil for J forty minutes, putting it into salted boiling water, and keeping it in the boil all tbe time. Dish into a deep vegetable dish and pour over it a sauce made with one-half pint of 6weet milk, boiled with half a small teacupful of water the cauliflower was boiled in. Stir to a thin paste, with cold water, a small teaspoonful of corn starch; add to the boiling milk and water; put in a pieoe of butter as large as an egg and one teaspoonful of sharp cider vinegar. Stir till the butter melts. Pour over the caaliflower and serve it at once. There are very few palates that will not be pleased with such a succulent dish. If there be any left, chop it up with as muoh cold boiled potato and serve very not, witn tne eauoe mixed in it, for breakfast. How a Mississippi Crevasse is Closed A correspondent describes the man ner of closing a levee which had broken through on a plantation on the Missis sippi. He Bays : A large supply of material, three by four and four by four joints, inch boards, bales of hay and empty bags having been col lected, two men having a reputa tion for judgment, experience and skill are chosen captains with di tatorial powers. These divide the forces into two gangs, one for each side of the break. First, the broken ends of the levee are protected from further denudation by braoings of lumber and ooverings of tarpaulin, and, when the nature of tbe ground will permit it, a row of stakes is driven outside tbe levee to prevent driftwood from washing through and hindeiing the work. Then, starting from points twenty or thirty feet from the break, so as to allow for acoidents, four rows of piles made from the loists are driven firmly into the soil. These rows do not project directly across tbe crevasse, but at an angle of forty-five degrees from the inner side of the levee. Between tbe first and second row. and between the third and fourth, the distance is about tbree feet, while from the sec ond to the third row. is six feet, The piles themselves are driven three feet apart, and as fast as driven are firmly braced together by boards spiked on lattorally and diagonally so as to strengthen them as muoh as possible, while loose boards laid upon these braces serve as platforms on which the men stand while at work. In this manner they feel their way along until the outer ends of the two cribs are within ten feet of each other, when the line is driven straight across and the two are connected together. All this time great care is taken to allow free passage for the water be tween the btakes, and to-disturb the bottom as little as possible; neverthe less, it often happens that the treach erous soil gives way and a big section of the crib goes sailing off into the held, in time, however, the ciroum vallation is completed and holds firm, and the prooess of filling in begins. t irst,the space between the first an d seo ond row of stakes is filled with arm f uls of loose hay that is carefully mat ted together and weighted down with bags of earth. Through this the water leaks as through a sieve, but tbe rush of the current is stopped. Next, the broader space between the second and third row is packed solid with bags filled with earth, and rammed down till not a drop of water can ooze through. Finally, loose earth is shoveled and rammed upon tbe rear, until no only is the third compartment filled, but the bank slopes back fully ten feet beyond tbe inner row of piles ; and not until then is the work declared safe and the crevasse conquered.
