The careful housekeeper can find many ways of turning them into dainty and healthful dishes. Pieees of cold meat or fish may be divided into small pieocs and warmed in a white or brown sauce, or the sauce and meat or fish may be put in a small baking dish, covered with grated bread crumbs and then browned in the oven. Cold meat or fish may be hashed fine and mixed with potato, rioe or hominy and a sauce, and made into croquettes. Tough pieces of meat and bones may be used in making little stews or a little soup stock. All kinds of meat can be combined in making a stew or sonp. Pieces of bread may bo nsed for puddings aud griddlo cakes, and in the form of dried crumbs for bread ing. Pieces of cake and gingerbread may be used in puddings. A few spoonfuls of almost any kind of meat, fish or vegetable may be heated in a siuce, and spread over a plain omelet just before rolling it up, thus giving a change in this dish of eggs.

How the Poopl Enjoy Themselves, nnd Some of the Means of Amuse ment Described. nNE of the most interesting of the many forms of out-door Amusements with whioh the Germans enjoy life in the Bummertimo is the "masch." It bears a strong roserablance to the American county fair, but has points of differ ence which render it peculiarly inter esting to tho student of national amusements. The word "masch" means, more nearly than anything else, a mixture, and a mixture a (lerniau masch certainly is. It is hold, as a rule, at tho time of the annual "Schut zenfest" and as near as possible to the shooting garden. All tho fakirs, and what we would call in the America side show attractions, make a business of traveling about from one masch to an other, so that their attendance has grown into a regular trade. It is especially a "volks" gathering, and the masses enjoy it to the utmost. Several days before the fest begins caravans whioh are composed ol wagons strongly resembling the or dinary freight car on wheels, except that they all have curtained windows, may be seen on every road approach ing the city in which the rnasch is to be held. They take possession of the nearest open space to the shooting garden, and from tho cavernous depths of the metamorphosed freight cars are taken first a larger or smaller tent, as the case may be, and a bewildering array of "properties" needed in the forthcoming show. In a night the vacant place is trans formed into a small city ot tents, each the temporary business place of some fakir, tho wagons being drawn up con' veniently near, as they are the dwell lug-places of tho showmen. The tented town is laid off into streets which on both Bides are lined with the boots, the merry-go rounds, the tin type galleries, the miniature circuses, and in short everything in which the heart of the small boy and diminutive maiden is supposed to rejoice. One masch is typical of all. You enter the entrance street with' ont being expected to pay any fee and find yourself in a wide lane with con fectionery and bakery booths on each side. The candy is rather doubtful except to the German small boy, who has but this annual chance, as a gen eral thing, for tasting sweets, and to whom it is a very heaven of saccharine delight ; the cakes are excellent, how ever, as they are all over Germany. Chief among them is a sort of huge "pop-over," light as a feather. It is called "eirkranz," and is made only at the time of the masch. It must be eaten hot and is devoured in vast quan tities. The first street at right angles from the entrance lane is the street of the tin-type aud shooting gallery fiend, The tin-type man does not differ es scntially from his brother at our own county fair, though he takes better pictures ; but the shooting gallery is tar ahead of its American oousin. Be hind a counter on which numerous air-guns are laid, stand a half dozen pretty girls attired in fantastio cos tumes, and each seeks to attract men who may be victims to her modern bow. That the Dianas are pretty suc cessful in their nnceasing importuni ties is evinced by the constant pop, popping, which one hears on every side. A large canvas is stretched about fifteen feet behind the maidens, and upon it are displayed every con ceivable form of target, every one of which it is almost impossible to miss, for the vanity of the customer must be cultivated if continued patronage is to be assured. Every one of these targets gives forth a beating ot drums or a ringing of bells when struck, so the din may be imagined. Near the shooting booths are the canvas palaces inhabited by the fat woman; the genuine African Zulu, who speaks when caught unawares with a strong German accent ; the museum of wax images of living and dead celebrities; the stereopticon views of famous events, and other shows of the kind which a country boy in America is familiar with at the fair in his own county, for none of tho usual attractions are missing. The entrance fee is ten or twenty pfen nings. Perhaps the most popular thing on the ground is the morry-go-round. There are a dozen forms of it. Some are in the form of real rocking ships propelled in a circle by machin ery, but most of them are tho ordi nsry hobby horses of our childhood fixed on a circular platform which is made to revolve by horse power. There are patent springs also which are adjused to small boats in such a way that the boats hanging from ropes are swung to and fro in the air like huge pendulums. These are called "American air chariots," aud attract a great deal of custom for anything coming from America is supposed to be not only novel,- but the best of its kind. Uf course in, about and around all these amusements is heard the blare of the brass band. Your good German would nut believe he was having a good time unless he was hearing muuio, no matter what else he might be doing, aud therefore the band is very much in evidence. But here is another starting point of difference from our county fairs. The band is almost always a very good one, and the inubio well worth listening to. Nearly every German is more or less of A musician, and while he will tol erate a good deal of personal discom fort he will not submit to having poor luuuic blared in his ears. Iu the centre of the temporary! town there is erected an immense tent, with open sides, which will hold 2500 people. Small tables abound, aud there are beats fur the uumber men tioned. On a platform at one end is au ulmirable bund, which plays both popular au 1 classical music, which in Germany is pupular iu another sense, nil day and all eveuing. Numerous "inaduheus" iu piutureaiiuo national peasant c.islumes serve as wuiters. At a table sits u delegation of students from the city l'oyteeliuieuui, or tcUuical school, who stm t u chorus wlicui vci' the baud plays a student bong, wuieb, to pleass them, fur their yitU'onujjo is valuable, the proprietor frequently orders. They all sing well, and as other people who are not students, but who sing even better, catch the infection and speedily join in, the effect is very pretty indeed. All this time the fun goes rompin 'f on all over the grounds as well as m tho pavilion, but seldom or never in there an angry word exchanged, ami the few polioemen who are scattered about consequently have little to do except enjoy themselves. It is long past midnight when the crowd finally makes up its mind to go home, and this for a people that is usually in bed by 10 o'clock measures a fearful amount of dissipation, as the orderly but merry groups tread the leafy streets numerous snatchesof song are heard, eloquent testimony ot the thoroughness with whioh the singer, be it man or maid, hasenioyo.l the day's or evening's outing at the "masch.

The sassafras is the only survivor of a race of trees which at a former pe riod was common over both hemi spheres.

That cats will occasionally hunt for butterflies has been affirmed by a British periodical, and recently ob served by Dr. Jentick, ot Holland. They have also been seen jumping after, catching and eating grasshop pers apparently with a relish. Sir William Thomson is forced to conclude that the hitherto supposed connection between terrestrial mag netic Btorms and sun spots has no ex istence, and that the seeming agree ment between the periods is a mere coincidence and nothing more. A soientist has recently published the result of his studies of the rela tions between many mites and certain ants in whose nests they are boarders. A strange case is that ot a species which lives habitually in a spider's web in harmonious relations with the otherwise ferocious host. London has an annual average rain fall of but twenty-five inob.es ; Paris, twenty-two inches ; Manchester, thirty-six inches, and Edinburgh, thirty eight inches, while Boston shows forty-six inches; New York, forty-five inches ; Philadelphia, forty-one inches and Chicago, thirty-six inches. A scientist, discussing the canals ot Mars, is disposed to acoept the view that only the middle of the canals is water, aud that the great width of the visible dark lines is probably due to a fringe of vegetation. Indeed, he sug gests the possibility that one ravine may carry two rivers flowing in oppo site directions. . Recent experiments by Mr. Kunz prove that the diamond emits light when rubbed on wood, cloth or metaL The fact that it becomes luminous by rubbing on metal shows that the phe nomenon is not electric. As imitation diamonds and other hard stones do not exhibit this phenomenon, the property will be valuable as an easy test of the genuineness of the dia mond. Shooting stars are small cosmio bodies generally weighing only a few grammes, often much less, and com posed mainty of iron and carbon. They travel in swarms through spaoe, and, like comets, move around the sun in very elongated ellipses. When these cross the path of the earth, shooting stars become visible. They are not luminous in themselves. Their brill iancy is the result of the transforma tion of their rapid motion into heat. WISE WORDS. Old ago is youth magnified. Never trust a woman half way. We can never give the flowers what they give us. Learn to laugh ; bat not at a dis gruntled rival. The opportunity of a lifetime may not last five second'. Man is naturally inclined to believe iu his own whiskers. Get as much advice as you can, and use as little as you can. Nature never refuses her hand to those who would take it. When a man sells one of his convic tions he sells all of them. If love were what the poets make it, the provision dealers would go into bankruptcy. The man with tho push beats the man with the pull any day. A monument sometimes speaks loud est for the relatives who ereot it. Some men tell lies because it is their only means of getting quoted. There is no rest for the man who does nothing to make himself tired. A wise man is one who knows when his prejudices are leading him astray. Men and women waste half their time commeutiug on each others' com ments. A woman loves a man because she loves hiui, and that is reason enough in her mind. One of the greatest pleasures in life is fun ml iu counting the money one is about to make. When a wan puts on a new suit of clothes he thiuks tho whole world takes notice ot it.

Tho Legislature of Massachusetts lias passed a stringent law agninst the practice, of docking horses, says tho Springfield Republican. It was ap proved liy Governor Orocnhalgc. Tho important sections nro as follows : Section 1. Whoever cuts tho bono of the tail of any horso for the purpose of docking the tail, or whoever causes or knowingly permits it to bo done upon the premises of .which he is owner, lessee, proprietor, or user, or whoever assists iu or is present at such cutting, shall bo punished by im prisonment iu the jail not exceeding ono year or bf fine of not less than RICH) nor more than $300. Sec. 2. f a horso is found with its tail so cut and with the wound re suiting from such cutting unhealed. upon the premises of any person, such facts shall be prima facio evidenoe that tho person who occupies or has the nso of tho premises on which such horse is so found has committed the offenso described iu section 1. Sec. 3.. If a horse is found with his tail so cut, with tho wound resulting from such cutting unhealed, in the chargo or custody of any person, such facts shall bo prima facio evidence that tho person having tho chargo oi custody of such horso has committed the offense chargod in section 1. This ought to make it difficult U dock a horso within the borders ot the State, bnt it cannot restore muti lated horses to their origiual condi tion, nor will it prevent tho taking of horses outside of tho State to be docked. But it is something to have Massachusetts declare against this barbarism and to insist that it cannot bo perpetrated within her borders. Tho German Kindergarten. A kindergarten in Germany has al ways a plot of ground, however small, where the children plant scods and tend their own plants until the seeds are stored in the atitnmn. Ihis is made a very delightful aud useful feature in all parts of that country, but tho plau is practiced at the Festa- lozzi-Froebel House, in Berlin, on a specially line aud large scale. The work of this kindergarten is under tho patronage of Empress Frederika, and it has the immediate supervision of Frau Henrietta Breyniau Schrader, a niece of Froebel's. Tho three-story house, which is in tho heart of the city, is built with an iuner court, which contains a playground Kinl a garden. A recent visitor tells of the tall liuden tree in a grass plot, with a rustic summer house built around it, and of the little gardens of the chil dren. She iu under the impression each child had a separate garden of flowers. There were rose bushes aud lilacs, and with the flowering shrubs, currant bushes and gooseberries, and other small fruits, all skilfully ar ranged with most beautiful effect. A vine covered the high brick partition dividing this ground from the neigh boring enclosures in a way to add beauty to the whole scene. Bock of the garden is a chicken yard, with a wire screen between, where the chil dren could watch the mother hens with their young broods, getting many lessons from this observation.
