WLX is this melody beneath the gnat ?
Com hither, stoop and Satan nearer yet ,
" And posh aside the thick and tangled net
Of bending manes and the brakes' green mass.
It tones the shrilling of the locust's glee,
And, like a harper's touches falling in
With high notes of a master's violin.
It binds a jarring strain to harmony.
Bosh, bobolink! and cease to entnltte
Gay bird, tboa haet not eaoght 'be gentle
song;
Too many roguish thoughts together throng.
And mingle in thy carols to thy mate.
Bat, fresh from grsver forest-symphonies,
The winds, in Tsried movement, low and
sweet.
Within the pines and birch-trees may repeat
Thia sweetest of the meadow's melodies.

Tits Fwr Seatf.
From Mr. Henry Elliott's report on
the condition of affairs In the Territory
of Alaska, the following new facts iu
regard to seals are extracted. Mr
Elliott is employed now in the Smith
sonian institute, and is a young man o,
most superior attainment":
"The male fur seal at the age of six
or seven rears is described as an animal
that will measure six and one-half to
seven and one-quarter feet in length
from tip of noe to end of tail, and
weigh at least four hundred and some
times as much perhaps as six hundred
pounds. The head in comparison with
the immense thick neck and shoulders,
seems to tie tiiipro'iortioiiately small,
but as we come to examine it we find
that it is mostly all occupied by the
brain; the light frame work of the
skull supports an expressive pair of
large, blue-hazel eyes, and a muzzle
and jaws of nearly the same size and
form observed in any Newfoundland
doe, with the difference of having no
flabby, lianjnnjr lips; the upiier lip
support a white and yellowish-gray
moustache, long and luxuriant, coin
pored of heavy stiff bristles. The fore
feet or hands are a pair of dark bluish
black flippers, about eight or ten inches
broad. The shape ol the flipper is
strikingly like a human foot, providing
the latter were drawn out to a lengin
of twenty or twenty-two inches, the
instep flattened down and the toes run
out into thin, membranous oval-tipped
rxiiuts. only skin-thick, leaving three
strong cylindrical, grayish, horn-col
ored nails, ball an wen long, nacK six
inches from these shining toe-ends,
without any nails to mention on the big
and little toe.
As we look on this fur seal's progres
sion, that which seems most odd is the
gingerly manner in which he carries
these hind nippers. J ney are held out
at right angles from the body, directly
opiiosite the pelvis, the toe ends and
flaps slightly waving and curling above
the earth. The neck, chest and shoul
ders of a fur seal bull comprise more
than two-thirds of his whole weight,
and in this long, thick neck and lore
limbs is embodied the larger lortion of
his strength ; when on laud witn the
fore feet he does all climbing over rocks,
the bind flippers being gatheied up after
every second step forward. J nese lore
feet are the profiling power when in
water, the hinder ones being used as
rudders chiefly.
The females or cows, like the males,
vary much in weight, but are much
lighter, only weighing from eighty to
one hundred and twenty pounds. The
strons contrast between the males and
females in size and sh:ie is heightened
by the air of exceeding peace and ami
ability which the latter class exhibit.
They are from four to four and a halt
feet in length from head to tail, and
much more shaiely in their proportions
than the male, the neck and shoulder
lieing not near so fat and heavy in pro
portion to their posteriors, me head
and eye of the female are really at
tractive; the expression is exceedingly
gentle and intelligent; the large, lus
trous eyes, in the small, well-tormed
head, apparently gleam with benignity
and satisfaction when she is perched
u miii some convenient rock and has an
opportunity to quietly lau lierseil.
Squandering- Priceless ulfts.
AmoDff the numberless marvels at
which nobody marvels, tew are more
marvelous than the recklessness witn
which priceless gifts, intellectual and
moral, are squandered. 01 ten have I
' gazed with wonder at the prodijraliry
oisnlaved by nature in the cistus, which
unfolds hundreds or thousands of its
tarry blossoms, morning after morn
ins', to shine in the liirbt of the sun for
an hour or t wo, and then full to the
ground. But who among the sons and
danghtersof men gifted with thoughts
which wander through eternity, and
with powers which have the godlike
rivilege of working good and riving
appiness who does not daily let
thousands of these thoughts drop to
the ground and rot f who does not con
tinually leave his powers to draggle in
the mould of their own leaves f The
imagination can hardly conceive the
heights of greatness and glory to which
mankind would be raised, if all their
thoughts and energies were to le am
mated with a living purpose, lint, as
in a forest of oaks, among the millions
of acorns that fall every autumn, there
luav, perhaps, lie one in a million that

and feelings of man. What, then, must
be our contusion when we see all these
wasted thoughts and feelings rise up

t'erporal Pnnlshment In the RckMli.
Within a few years some of our com
munities have forbidden all resort to
corioral punishment for refractory im
pits. It is denounced as barbarous and
degrading An indiscreet aciininisira
tiou of it arouses an excitement as in
discreet as the original sin. Instead of
removing the one offender, we remove
from all hands the weapon witn m mm
he has offended. It is always so much
easier to generalize than to discriminate.
Nevertheless 1 relapse into barbarism
suthciently to suggest that. In the pres
ent state of our civilization and our
school organization, corporal punish
inent is a weans of grace w hich we can
not aliolish, and have not abolished with
out injury. The necessity of using it is
very, perhaps increasingly rare. The
teacher who frequently and freely re
sorts to it is presumptively unlit for his
situation. But the power to use it
should vest in the teacher, and is a pre
ventive of mischief. Corporal punish
ment has never been abolished in the
kingdoms of nature or of grace. Every
teacher knows that there are boys, who,
by some inward conformation or some
defect of home training, do not respond
to the ordinary motives of the school
room.
We give the little victims over, un-
helped and hardened, to the cruel nidul
gence, to the fatal unwisdom of their
untaught, uncariable guardians. To
turn many of these boys out of school is
to turn them upon the street, is to let
them loose into a lite of idleness and
lawlessness, it is unjust to the parents,
as well as ruinous to the child. The
former have paid their share of the
taxes which support the school and they
have a right to all the benefit which the
school is capable of bestowing. When
they send their children to school, the
school ought to teach and govern them,
not send them home again. This is just
what the naughty boys want. In very
many cases the rod would not need to be
used. If the boy knows that by playing
tricks, or by prolonged idleness, or con
tumacy, or rebellion, he will be only
sent adrift, he will play the trick and
wrench himself free from restraint. The
sweeping away of corporal punishment
from schools is the flowering of that
tare of weakness which springs to vigor
ous growth side by side with the wheat
of kindness in yonr rich American soil.
It is the same vague, blind, emasculate,
injudicious complaisance which winks
at crime and shrinks from punishment
and pardons out, and is not so far re
moved from cruelty to the community
as it is from beneficence to the criminal.
And always and everywhere it is, to the
full measure of its influence, subversive
of manhood and fatal to character.

A Plea fer Ine Wild Elephant.
A correspondent of Land and Water
calls attention to the slaughter of ele
phants, arranged to take place at Trin
comaleev in Ceylon, on the occasion of
the Prince's visit. The elephants are
described as roaming about in large
herds iu the most tame and inonensive
fashion, almost heedless of man, for
none have been shot for upwards of
twelve months. There Is at present
such a large class of society in England,
who advocate kindness to animals in all
its forms, that we ventf ire to predict
that, when the battue and shooting down
of these semi-tame elephants- occurs,
the accounts will be received In England
by the humane and thoughtful portion
of the community with feelings the re
verse of satisfactory. It seems a pity to
destroy, tor the sake of simple Siort.
such useful intelligent animals as ele
phants. In destroying tigers and other
strictly wild and des;ructive beasts, the
sportsmen perlorm a puouc service, anu
this knowledge doubtless adds additional
zest to the enterprise; but the whole
sale destruction of these huge and valu
able assistants to man, on the plea of
sport, when their hunting and capture
for domestication would be equally ex
citing and far more instructive, is a
proceeding repugnant alike to the teach
ings ot our nag, and to our nuniaue
ideas of advanced civilization. If the
risk of life from the furion9 charge of a
wounded bull elephant is required to
establish the courage of their future
king in the eyes of his Eastern Empire,
let some other plan be devised, and let
his millions of half civilized subjects
practically associate his visit with re
collections of mercy rather than with
the wantou slaughter of animals almost
idolized for their utility, and tractability
the most powerful, and yet the most
docile, creatures in the universe. Wau
ton waste brings woeful want. The
commercial loss, though large, in an
elephant battue is not of so much eon
sequence as the example. The wanton
slaughter of buffaloes of late years on
the American prairies, and of moose
deer in Cauada, has already excited the
action of their respective Governments,
and nearly every State of the Union has
been compelled to pass severe repressive
game laws to prevent the extermination
of many of the indigenous birds and
beasts, and this, too, in a wild country
with almost unlimited range. We trust
to hear that the royal party will have
plenty of sjiort in every legitimate sense,
but elephant battues are not legitimate
sport. fport Is a misnomer : it is simple
butchery.

Courage is a vital element of Chris
tian chivalry. Wiihout it indeed neither
truth nor fidelity to promise can be
hoped for. The coward is sure to lie
when truth means punishment, and
sure to retreat from his engagements
when they involve peril. We need valiant
souls that have learned to endure and
scorn pain, and to face danger fearlessly
and promptly when duty requires.
Some parents evade this vital part
of training by glosses and deception. A
mother who has taken her boy to the
dentist's to get a tooth out will often
say, if he is shrinking, Sit still, my
my boy; it won't hurt you." Now she
knows it will hurt him, but thinks if
she can only get him by this device to
sit still and let the dentist get hold of
the tooth, then his discovery of the pain
will not hinder its extraction. This is
a double mistake. It destroys her boy's
confidence in her; for he detects her iu
a lie. And though it gets the boy this
time, to sit still, it is under the delusion
that there is to be no pain, whereas he
6liould be taught to face the pain and
to scorn it. This makes the difference
between cowards and heroes. A regi
iment of poltroons could march up to a
battery as cheerfuliy as a regiment of
heroes if tney thought there was no
enemy at the gnus. The dinVrem-e is
that heroes know the danger and yet
f"ce it valiantly.

Sidney Smith, in his work on moral
philosophy, speaks in this w ise, of w lint
men lose for want of a little courage,
or independence of mind : "A great
deal ot talent is lost in the world tor
the want of a little courage. Every
day sends to the grave a number of
obscure men, who have only remained
in obscurity because their timidity has
prevented them from making the first

ity, have gone great lenghta in the ca

anything in this world worth doing, we
must not stand shivering, and thinking
of the cold and the danger, but jump
in and scramble through as well as we
can. Itill not do to be perpetually
calculating tasks, and adjusting nice
chances ; it did very well before the

friends upon an intended publication

and hesitates aud consults bis brother,
and his uncle, and his particular

Ninety years hence not a single man
or woman, now twenty years of age,
will be alive. Ninety years! Alas!
how many lively actors at present on
thest-ige'of life will make their exit
long ere ninety years shall have rolled
away! And could we be sure of ninety
years, what are they? "A tale that is
told ;" a dream ; an empty sound, that
passeth on the wings oi" the wind away
and is forgotten. Years shorten as man
advances in age. Like the degrees in
longitude, man's life declines as he
travels toward the frozen pole, until it
dwindles to a point and vanishes for
ever. Is it possible that life is of so
short duration? M'ill ninety years
erase all the golden names over the
doors in town and country, and substi
tute others in their stead ? Will all the
new blooming beauties fade and disap
pear, all the pride and passion, the love
hope and joy pass away in ninety years
and lie forgotten! "Ninety years,"
says Death ; "do you tnink I shall wait
ninety years? Behold to day and to
morrow, and every day are mine. When
ninety years are past, this generation
will have mingled with the dust and be
remembered not!"

Foddkr Corn akd Hcxoakux
Gkass. Prof. Atwater ends hi lesson
in the September number of the Ameri
can AgricnlturiMt by saying : "To econ-!
omize in feeding, see was ine iouaer
contains plenty of nitrogen. And this
for two reasons: because stock cannot
digest their food completely without it,
and because they need aiDuminoias ior
their nutrition." The "walks and
Talks" lesson begin by giving a table
compiled by Dr. Harlan, of Wilming
ton, Delaware, showing tne amount oi
nitrogen In a ton of different crops.
"A ton ef Hungarian millet has
twenty pounds, a ton of green clover
twelve pounds, a ton of green corn four
pounds. If by Hungarian millet is
meant what we call Hungarian grass,
or millet, then by mixing equal parts ol
green corn and millet we nave in tne
mixture a food as rich in nitrogen as
green clover. If there is no mistake
about this. It is a very important lesson.
Fodder corn, which has not nitrogen
enough to make it a first-class food,
nnds, in Hungarian grass, a inena mar,
has more of that material than the law,
as laid down by Prof. Atwater, allows
good fodder to need : but, ny putting
their nitrogen into a common purse
and then dividing equally, they can
both stand m tne presence oi ciover
which has been considered both king
and queen of fodder.
"Some experiments in feeding fodder
corn this season satisfied me that the
same law which governs the time for
cutting rye, oats and grass, to get the
most milk, governs green corn, v? nen
in leaf and before it tassels, is the time
to cut to have the cow give the most
milk from what they eat of it. A lot of
cows that averaged eight quarts a day
on sweet corn fodder, tasseled and
silked, wheu fed -in ground seed corn
in leaf, not tasseled, tnough it stood six
feet high, other conditions, as far as I
know, being equal, gave an average oi
nine quarts per day. ,

Large vegetables may indicate good

mind whether the mammoth things
should always receive the first award.
At the table w here we give the true test
to vegetables size does not rank as a
very important attribute. I was as
tounded to see so little tasting and ex
amination of texture by the committee
that judged the vegetables. No man is
thoroughly callable of passing upon the
relative merits of specimens in this
class unless ho can go more than skin
deep in the matter. I never saw so per
fect an exhibition ol garden products a

was earnest and close competition
Still iu the awarding of prizes 1 saw no
judging of quality by taste, which is
the true test. The prizes may be awar
ded correctly, but not as the resuit of
careful comparison or quality, a man
may know vegetables so well as to
judge from the constant surface attri
butes that accompany first quality, but
I have failed to meet the man yet who
considers himself so skillful as this
The judges of apples would consider it
absurd to pass upon tne vaiue oi an ap
ple by its size and complexion alone,
Is it not equally unjust to pass upon
beets, potatoes and turnips in this way?
Tne quality of th'jrse vegetables is just
as apparent to the connoisseur In its
raw state as that of an apple. I do hope
there will be progress in this matter,
and that men who judge will have a
solid foundation for their decisions.
To ascertain if a plant wanU fresh
Dotting, turn it carefully out of the pot
with the earth attached to it, and ex
amine the roots. If they are matted
about the sides and bottom of the ball,
the plant evidently requires fresh pot
ting. Then carefully reduce the ball
or earth to anout a mini oi its original
bulk : single out the matted roots and
trim away all that are moldy aud de
cayed. Probably the same pot may
then be large enough, but if it requires
a larger one, it should be about two
incites broader for a middle-sized plant;
three or four for a large plant. If the
roots are not matted but the Dots are
filled with fillers, keep the baTl entire
and carefully plant it in a larger pot.
At the top of a large pot, and a email

lowing facta will show how- the air
in houses becomes contaminated :
- 1. An adult person consumes 34
gramme ot oxygen per boar, a gramme
being equal to 13 grains. .
2. A stearin candle consumes about
one half as much.
3. An adult gives off 40 grammes per
hour of carbonic acid. A child of 50
lbs. weight gives off as much as an
adult of 100 lbs. weight.
4. A schoolroom filled with children
will, if not well ventilated at the be
ginning of the hour, contain 25 parts
in 1,000 of carbonic acid, at the end of
the first hour 41, and end ot the second
hoar 81.
5. The air is also spoiled by the per

atile oils given out through the skin.
An adult gives off through the skin
in 24 hours from 500 to 800 grammes of

6. A stearin candle gives off per hoar
04 cubic feet of carbonic acid, and 003

7. Carbonic oxide is a much more
dangerous gas than carbonic acid, and
this obtains entrance to oar rooms in
many ways, tu rough the cracks in
stoves and defective stovepipes, or
when the carbonic acid of the air comes
in contact with a very hot stove and
is converted into carbonic oxide. The
dust of the air may, on a hot stove, be
burnt to produce it; or it may flow out
from our gas pipes when the gas is not
perfectly consumed.

dust of a fungus growth which tills the
air in damp and warm places. We
call it miasm from a want of true
knowledge of its character.

Diteate and the Faculty oJcmorjf.
The faculty of memory is one of the
first to be obviously affected by dis
ease. When disease for a time seems
to suspend the action of this faculty,
or visibly to diminish it, the result is
not looked upon as pnenominai, ior it
is common and expected. Bat when
disease increases the power of this
faculty, a thing not uncommon, the pa
tient is not nnfrequently regarded as
possessing more than human wisdom,
and the case usually excites comment
as one of great mystery. Dr. Stein
bach mentions the case of a clergyman
who, being summoned to administer
the sacrament to an illiterate peasant,
found the patient praying aloud in
Greek and Hebrew. The case was
deemed wellnigh miraculous. . After
the peasant's death, it was found that
he was aceastomed in youth to hear
the parish minister pray in those lan
guages, and it was inferred that be
must have been repeating remembered
words without understanding their
meaning. Dr. Abercrombie relates the
circumstances of a more remarkable
case. A poor shepherd-girl was for a
time accustomed to sleep in a room
adjoining that occupied by an itinerant
musician. The man was an artist by
education, a lover of his profession,
and often spent a large portion of the
night in practising ditb'cnlt composi
tions. The violin was his favorite in
strument. At last the shepherd-girl
fell ill. and was removed to a charita
ble institution. Here the attendants
were amazed at hearing the most ex
quisite music in the night, in which
went rnciiirn ized finely-rendered Pas
sages from the best works of the old
masters. The sounds were traced to
the shepherd-girl's room, where the
natient waa fonnd nlaving the violiu
in her sleep. Awake, she knew nothing
of these things, and exhibited no ca

tenant Makarotf. a young officer serv
ing in the Kussian navy, designed a
mat of peculiar construction. The
MakarotT mat has for its basis a closely
worked structure of rope abont I inch
in diameter, made of the finest hemp.
while the matlike snrface closely re
sembles that common to all mats of the
kind used for street doors. The tex
ture of the mat is wonderfully close ;
and as the whole is treated with a wa
ter proof composition, it may be re
garded as practically impermeable to
water. The hairy side of the mat is
that applted to the ship's side, and it
is stated and we see no reason to
doubt the statement that these mats
mav be dragged over jagged edged
boles in iron plates without sustaining
any injury.
. Pneumatic Foxtoont. Knapp's open
bottom pneumatic jacks or pontoon
are attached bv chains passing under
Ube wreck, and the chaining is ingeni
ously eflected by means ot a small tube
passed under the wreck, through which
a float and line attached to the cable
are drawn. Compressed air is then ad
mitted to the pontoons, which instantly
give the lifting power. The advanta
ges of this system consist in easy man
agement and the possibility of being
used in exposed situations ; ana it ap

Receipt Books. Allow me to sug
gest to all thrifty housekeepers that
tney make their own receipt dooks. a
blank book having its pages numbered
can be obtained for a small sum of any
dealer in stationery. Do not write any
ieceipts save those that nave been tried
by yoursel or friends. ' Have it ar
ranged systematically, by being divided
into different departments, as one for
meats, another for vegetables, breads, 1
pies, puddings, 4c. Have an index,
and allow space at the end of every
different department, both there and in
the body of the book, fn which to make
entries at future times. Any obliging
housekeeper will be not only will'ng
but glad to give you receipts and ru.es
for making different dishes; then write
them out definitely, for it is of fully as
much importance that a dish be properly
mixed and cooked, as that the proper
proportions be used. It may, at first
thought, look like a hard task, but bave
it lying handy and write in it at odd
moments, and you will be surprised at
the progress you will make, and then,
when made, you will have such a reel
ing of reliability about it, for you kwm
what it is; no experimenting there. I
have one which I commenced fifteen
years ago,' and I would not give it for
any one I have ever seen published.
And what a treasure such a book would
be to a daughter commencing house
keeping all written in mother's hand
writing, and tested by her good judgment
and mature wisdom !
The Fcmes op Cabbage. Many per
sons are fond of cabbage, but not at all
fond of the unpleasant fumes which
penetrate the entire house during the
process of boiling. Therefore we recom
mend a manner of cooking that renders
the vegetable so pleasant to the taste as
to obliterate all prejudice against its free
use. Reduce the cabbage to small pieces
nearly fine enough for slaw, then stew
for half an hour in a covered saucepan
with not enough water to coyer it ;
when done, drain off the water and sea
son with salt, pepper, and a liberal
quantity of butter, using vinegar on the
table. Served in this way, you have a
nice vegetable, much more delicate than
boiled cabbage, and suitable to eat with
any kind of meat you may chance to
have on hand.
Pcriptixo Cider Barrels. A cor
respondent of the Boston (Jultimttor ac
complishes it this way: I cleansed a
cask thai bad boiled cider in it; it is us
sweet as a new one. I put aliout two
quarts of lime In it and filled it with
water and let it stand 24 hours, then
turned it out and rinsed thoroughly
with water. Then I took a piece of sheet
iron and made a funnel shaped cup that
would go into the bung hole, riveted a
narrow piece of hoop iron to it, about i
inches long, then put a red hot bolt into
the cup and tilled it witn suipnur, anu
put it into the barrel and cleansed the
vents and bung. I let it stfy about five
hours then rinsed well and it was all
right. The handle to the cup makes it
easy to rumigate barrels.
Wholesome Put Crcst. The most
healthy pie crust is made of thin, sweet
cream and flour, with a little salt. Don't
knead. Bake in a quick oven. Another
way is, sift a quart or two of flour in
the pan. Stir in the center a little salt
and hair a teaspoonrul or soda well
pulverized. Put in the hole a cup of
soft (not liquid) lard, or butter and lard
mixed; stir it thoroughly with the
flour; next add two scant cups of good
sour milk or buttermilk. Stir all quickly
with the flour in such a way that you
need hardly touch it with your hands
till you can roll It out. Kake quickly.
This will make three or four pies.
Ax iMrRovrn Ltmpuxg for Chickes,
Stews. &.q. With one quart of sifted
flour mix one teaspoonful of salt, two
of cream of tartar, and one of soda.
Pour in sweet milk and stir until the
mixture is just thick enough to form
into biscuit. Place them upon the
largest sized round baking tin, and set
the tin in a steamer over the kettle
where the chicken is boiling. Steam
about forty minutes. Thicken and sea
son the broth, break the biscuit apart
and drop them in the gravy, boil ten
minutes and serve. These are said to
retain their lightness not falling as they
become cool.
Offensive C'isteks Water. The bad
odor so often complained of is mainly
due to the presence of tine particles of
decaying vegetable matter. The best
way to avoid it is to pass the water
through a filter before it goes into the
cistern. What is termed a double cis
tern is the most convenient method of
filtering that is a partition of brick is
put in, which answers for a filter. For
temporary relief from offeusiveness,
sink a bag of charcoal iu the water. This
will not purify it, but remove in a great
part the unpleasant smell.
Fritt Fl'DDtXO. Chop six apples
fine, grate six ounces of stale bread, add
six ounces of brown sugar, and six
ounces of currants, washed carefiiily
and floured. Mix all well together with
six ounces of br"er, a cupful of milk,
and two cupfuls of flour in which two
teaspnonfuls of baking powder have
been thoroughly mixed. Spice to taste.
If necessary, add more milk in mixing.
Put in a pudding bag, tie loosely, and
boil three hours. To be eaten with

Salve for Chapped Hands, etc.
The following is a well-tested, excellent
remedy for chapped hands aud sores of
this nature. I'ut together equal weights
of fresh unsalted butter, tallow, bees
wax, and stoned raisins; simmer until
the raisins are done to a crisp, but not
burned. Strain and pour into cups to
cool. Rub the hands thoroughly with
it, and though they will smart at first
they will soon feel comfortable and
heal quickly.
The best way to admit pure air in the
night (where windows are the only
mode of ventilation) is to open the sleeping-room
into a hall where there is an
open window In order to avoid the
draught. A window with a small open
ing at top and bottom ventilates more
than one with one opening only.
The Best Wat to Coos Codfish.
Strip it of Us skin, and cut it in pieces
about the size of ones hand ; place it in
water, and allow it to simmer on the
stove until it becomes tender. It should
never be allow to boil. Boiling hardens
and darkens the fish, and deprives it of
its flavor. '
To Extract Ink from cotton, silk and
woolen goods saturate the spots with
spirits of turpentine, and let it remain
several hours; then rub it between the
hands. It will crumble away without
injuring either the color or texture of
the article.
To Clean Wall Paper. Tiie appear
ance of old wall paper will be very much
improved by rubbing it with a woolen
cloth dipped in dry Indian meal. It
removes the dust and smoke. Piece of
stale bread are equally efficacious.
Corn Meal Griddle Cakes. Scald
half a pint of Indian meal, half a pint
of the same dry ; flour, and stir all into
a pint of milk with a tablespoon ful of
butter and one egg. Spread very thin
on the griddle.
Cream on Onions. Putting cream on
onions instead of butter (or even a little
milk if one has no cream) removes much
of the strong flavor and renders them
less likely to affect weak stomach un
pleasantly. Indian Rusk. Two light cops of
inoian meal, one enp or white flour,
one teaspoonful of saleratus, enough
sour or butter-milk to dissolve, one cup
sweet, stir in three-fourths of a cup of
moiasses.

entered a Detroit shirt store yesterday
to get himself a pair of mittens. He
saw some chest-protectors there, and
after looking them over he said :
"Well, I'll be mashed if I know what
these things are,"
"They are capital things for the
winter," replied the clerk; "they are
chest-protectors." ' .-"..'

The doctors were just as polite and
gentle In those pioneer days as they are
now, and, catching the spirit of the
rapidly growing country, they felt that
time was the great desideratum. A
dot-tor living in Macomb county, when
called upon to set a broken leg for a
laboring man, examined the limb and
said : "If I set this limb, it will be five
or six months before you can walk. If
I saw it off and make you a wooden leg,
you'll be out splitting rails in less than
three months." The man declined the
generous offer, and the doctor sighed
drearily as he rolled down his shirt
