i Hot Ell Fattbiu Not long ago, John Boyle who had wrought for many years In the swelter ing lower levels of the Comstoek mines, resolved that be would go to Washing ton Territory, become a tiller of the soil, and grow up with the country. He would cease to lead a subterranean life would coxe from among the bliitinjr troglodytes and live in the light of day. Jio more would he moil In Rtifling drifts, tunnels and cross cuts. He would employ himself at some con genial task in the bright Gelds, where pure breezes blow, Dowers bloom and birds sing in the wind-tossed boughs. Such was the determination of John Boyle six months ago. But "once a miner always a miner.'' A few days ago John returned a wiser if not a sad der man. Meeting his old friend and mining partner, James Bean, John was questioned in regard to his experi ence. "Well." began John, "I became an agriculturist, James, my experience has taught me that an agriculturist is the noblest work of God." "Does h9 beat an honest man, John?" "Yes, James, in a horse trade." 'I suppose you were high in the ranks of the Graneers, won a badge as big as a dinner plate, turned out in all the processions, and made speeches at the meetinsrs?" A Granger! Pooh! Why, James, I was old Agricola himself!" "Oh indeedV" "Yes; I used to 'speed the plow,' James." 'And sacrificed to Pallas 'founder of the plow and the plowman's toil?" "Exactly James." "You also hurled the glittering reaper through the golden grain?" "Xo, James, no. I guided the shining share through the emerald sward," "Beautiful! What says Virgil?" ProJnc the plow an I Jose the sturJy ief r, and goad n m till lie groans tieneatn hit toil, rill the brtilil snare ia bur.eJ in llie soil. "Ah! James, sweet is the recollection of those days. Why, I was a second Cincinnatus!" Indeed! John shake hands with me." "With pleasure, James. Take the palm of a 'horuy-handed son of tolll' Ah! James, I 'ate my bread on the sweat of my fa-e." "A .very Adam! But, tell me, John, wiiere did vou do all this farm ing?" "Up m Washington Territory. All was done within the boundaries of that . one Territory. I never plowed across the line into strange ana inhospitable regions, never, James." "It was well with your ambition, John it was well that you were not on Rhode Is'aud." "It was, James it asl" "Dare I ask for some particulars ia icgard to your experience white pursu ing your labors iu the capacity of a husbandman r' "You mav James. Upon my arrival in the fruitful vales of the Territory named, I engaged myself to a landed proprietor and was allotted the conge nial task of preparing the fecund soil for the waiting seed. Girding up my loins with a piece of baling rope I went forth to excoriate the Iwsom of old Mother F-arth." "You mean to say, John that you plowed?" "Aye, James, I plowed. For the space of three hours I guided the 'shin ing share' and a noble pair of Cayuse steeds steeds to which I at once gave classic names, ai.d very appropriate ones, I may now say." "Did you name them Galathe and Podarge, after the horses of Hector?" ' 'o, James; but .Ambaster and Abatos, in honor of the horses of Pluto." "With those horses of Hades you plowed for three hours, John?" "About that period of time, James. Theu a most unforseen circumstance gave a new direction to my mental aud physical energies. A root, James a root, m apiearance resembling one of the mighty serpents of Africa a most active root, arose and projected itself into my face, causing two front teeth and the classic outlines of my nose to disappear. The plow unguided, pro ceeded into the pedestal upon which at a former period had towered a noble oak, where it remained stationery, while I, James continued to progress. I proceeded, James, to drop all euphe mism I proceeded over the handles of the plow and over the top of the stump, while Abaster and Abatos, with the beam of the implement of agriculture, went through two worm fences and to the realms of old Pluto ' himself, for aught I know." "A regular smash-up, John?"' "It was James it was. While not perhaps equalling what we may imag ine of the 'wreck of matter and the clash of worlds,' etill it was a wreck too painful for contemplation. And, James, I did not linger near the scene." "You departed?" "Aye, James, I departed. In emu lation of the star of empire, westward I took my way. Across fields and commons I sped nor halted in my occi dental flight until my eyes were glad dened with the sight of masts and sails in the seaport town of Steilacoom. Cincinnatus of old left his plow in the furrow, iu the crumbling soil, exposed to the vicissitudes of time and the elements, but James, I left what re mained firmly anchored in lasting oak." "Where It probably remains implant ed to this day?" "I know not, James I know not. I only know that from that hour, preg nant of painf ul and disastrous events, I ceased to be a tiller of the soiL For three long hours I enjoyed those calm joys which soothe the soul of the hus bandman, my heart trilling Georgics equal to the original Virgilian." "You were a Bobby Burns, John?" "I was James Hot pleasures are like p.ippies spres.l. You seize tue nwir, iu u.ooni iatntu.." "From Bobbie himself!" "As I beheld the masts of Steilacoom. James, I said, this day leave 1 the treacherous land: my plowing now shall be to plow the raging main!" "In other words John, after a'.l your fine notions about surface lite and Granger joys, at the end of three hours you took water?" "Don't be slangy. James! I became temporarily one ol those that go down to the sea on ships that do business in ifreat waters." King lranu.

First pat into a large pan a quarter of a pound of flue fresh oatmeal, x ounce of white sugar and a half a lemon cat in small piece. Mix with a little warm water; then poor over it one gallon of boiling water, fctirring all together thoroughly, and use when cold. This makes a niont refreshing and strengthening drink. If preferred, raspberry vinegar, citric acid or any other flavoring may be used instead of the lemon. More oatmeal may also be used if preferred. Second Six ounce of fine oatmeal, four ounces of cocoa and eight ounces of sugar mixed gradually and muoolhly into a gallon of boiling water. Use when cold. Tomato Socp. Take two aud one half quart of good beef stock; one each. medium sized carrot, turnip, beet, and two onions, peel aud cat them. Boil three-tourths of an hoar in the stock; then strain tnrougn a sievn, but do not press tnen. Add two quarts of toma toes, also salt and pepper. Let this cool a little, while you take a au pan that will hold six quarts or more, aud put into it one qarter of a pound of butter, and a desertspoonful of sugar. Heat it until it becomes a light brown, and stir into it three tableepoonfuls of flour, while hot, then add the stock and tomato to the butter and flonr.

Having thoroughly mixed the curry powder with the meat poor over it a tablespooBfol of milk or cream, aud stir over the fire until the mixture has dried op. Celery bait may be used instead of plain salt, and some persons add a few drops of lemon juice wiien the curry is finished. Engagement Bracelets. The gold engagement bracelet is becoming as popular as the engagement ring. Only diamonds, rabies aud pearls are used on these bracelet. The old superstition about the pearl, that it brings bad lock, as a wedding gift, seems to have gone ever entirely, and now it is said that emeralds and sapphire are the "unfor tunate" stone to give for bridal pres ents, thongh they are highly fashiona ble as gifts at any day later or to any body else Currant, Bast-berry or Blackbkkei Jam Pick over and mash the fruit; allow one pound of sugar to a pound of lruit. Put the fruit aud one quarter of the sugar into a granite or porcelain kettle; when boiling add another quar ter of sugar; boil again, add more sugar, and when all is nsed, let it boil till it hardens on the spoon in the air. Apples, pears, peaches and quinces should be pared, cat small and treated in the same way. Cooking in ouly a little sugar at a time prevents the lruit from cecoming hard. Graham Prrps.

Bake in buttered stoneware cup or iron gem pans from thirty to forty minutes. The oven should be very hot, bnt do not keep the puff In the oven after they bare well puffed over the cups, as they collapse if not served at once. Decorative Stoneware. An ample field is open for wall decoration in appropriate designs for stoneware in lower skirtings and friezes. Stoneware presents even the lightest colors with depth and softness in a different degree from any other material when nngb? zed. The artistic stoneware, imported with blue panels with center raised figures in white and light buff ornamental colors, suggest it capacity for decoration of the structural order. Garden labels which look so unsight ly when stained and defaced by the weather, may le protected by thor oughly soaking them in a strong (solu tion of copper (sulphate of Iron) and, alter drying, laying them in lime water. A coating of insoluble salt, sulphate of lime, is thus formed. Mats, twine and other substances for covering or tying trees may be similarly treated. Oatmeal Porridge, Boil a quart of water; drop in with one hand by degrees, stirring with the other, two ounces of oatmeal and a teaspoonful of salt, tiet the porridge boil for half an hour after all the meal ia stirred in. During the boilng the porridge must be occasion ly stirred to prevent stick ing to the saucepan. When done pour the porridge into a bowl and serve hot with milk or cream. It should, when finished, be like delicate jelly, set, but UDt stiff. An Austrian astronomer.

It is an old adage that " a looker on see more of the game than- the players, " and this has been forcibly brought to mind by ob servations made in some households for few month pact. The housewives of course were not aware of the little wastes or leaks that were constantly in progress in their family ; they were mere trifle taken one by one, but it is the small leak that sinks the ship some time. For instance the bread pau had dough and floor enough left on the bot tom and sides to make good sized bis cuit ; this went into the swill pail or drain. The gravy or batter left on the meat platter, or perhaps a large piece of nice steak, went the same way, or to the chicken or eat. It was too much work to make soap ; it was cheaper to boy ; so scraps of meat and grease were thrown away. Potatoes were cooked by the quantity, and what were left af ter a meal were thrown into the swill pail. Buttered toast, cake and dough nut all went the same way. We far mers raise our own wheat, grow oar own potatoes, make our own batter, etc,' True ; bat we farmers make oar money by these little things, and fru gality and stinginess are two very dif ferent things. All these are little items, bat in the coarse of year they amount to quite a sum. that might just a well be saved and I could not help thinking that it was no wonder that some farmers had such bard times o get along and make both ends meet. The men do not te the waste. They provide bountifully, as in duty bound, and if they won U r why things do not spend better and laht longer, it doe not answer to hud fault or grumble, ami, perhaps they do thine sometimes "that a woman can throw out faster with a spoon than a man ean throw in with a shovel. Di-easb is not a natural condition ot fowl life ; there are no other animals in domestication so free from inherited or contagious diseases, and none which display more recuperative energy when removed lrom positively injurious sur rounding. Sound, healthy, dry food, and pure, clean cold water, with the necessary supply of mineral food, to aid aud promote digestion, constitute the very best medicine for preventing or curing the Lis of poultry. The much vaunted condimental foods are, as a rule, to be severely let alone. Give poultry house sufficient light no more. Make the window low and broad. -Two twelve-inch lights high is enough better than more. High win dows cause harmful draughts of air by rapidly cooling that come in contact with them. Large window overheat the house in the middle of the day, bnt from the time the sou no longer shines directly into them till it returns again. they are constantly cooling it like an iceoerg. Lxtremes of heat and cold are both to be studiously avoided in the construction and location of the win dows. All plant contain a certain propor tion of salt or its elements in their composition. A such element are necessary to plant growth salt w conse quently a fertilizer, and should be ap plied in certain quantities. A farmer reports that by using a dressing of one part plaster aud three parts salt he doubled the yield of his clover crop. A plaster is also au excellent fertilizer for clever, the advantages of the salt may be due to both it attraction for mois ture and power of supplying plant food. As exchange give a novel method of clearing out rat from the premises. It says : Shut np a number of rata in a cage together, and leave them without food. In prooe8 ot time they will eat each other until all bat one are eaten. and he may be let loose. He ha got such a love for his cannibal diet that in very short time he will clear yoar premises, and then at the end take him self off in search of fresh fields and new pasture. Grasshoppers in California are doing great damage to crops. They are mov ing in dense elends, destroying vegeta tion, and the farmers in some sections are oespondent. Hogs have been found serviceable in destroying them, while turkeys could be raised upon them in large numbers if they could have been procured. Tee late George Geddea, who was re markable lor his sound judgement. theught it cheaper to cover a bam with rough boards, without painting, and to repeat the covering when time had caused decay, than to bare the whole surface planed and painted ; bat cheap est of all is to soak the rough boards with erode petroleum. Cows and sheep will both eat plantain when it is young and tender. A num her of readers have claimed to have abdued plantain by pasturing the in fested fields with sheep. The explana tion is that the sheep keep the growth so closely browsed that it cannot go to seed. Sheep are among nature's lest weed exterminators. Most people tecu horses too much hay. Some horses will eat hay until they can travel no better than a cow. It co.-ts some men twice a much to keep horses as others whose teams are equally well cared for. Horses that are troubled with worms may be safely and speedily relieved by giving them a small dose of turpentine two or three times in their feed. It nauseates the worms so that they lose their grip on the intestines and pass through with the excretions of the stomach. A good dip for young lambs infested with ticks is made of a mixture of one gallon of soft soap, eix poonds grease, one pint crude carbolic acid, all boiled in ten gallons of water, with nine gal lons ot cold water added.

Astronomers are now looklne- for a brilliant comet that is expected to blaze out in the southwestern heavens during ine tatter part or July or early in Au gust. A great luminous streak visible in the heavens, resembling somewhat the Milky Way, is asserted by astrono mers to le the path or otbit of a great comet, and that great streak of light is the gaseous matter that follows in the ake of a comet. It is impossible to see it at present, as it travsls In the or- ic ol the sun, whose brilliant litrht during the day prevents the human eye from gazing at It. The deflection by ttie latter part of July or August will, however, bring it above the horizon during the early evening hours, when win be plainly visible and when it ill be of the first magnitude.

Jockey trick are innumerable, and some of them undoubtedly as old a I the existence ot the very quadruped himself on which tney are practice I. They are as old as the hills, and still bo new that the green ones are caugl.t by them every day in the year, norses sold by the professional dealer too often "are not what they seem." It is, perhaps, due to this fact that the very nam of the horse-dealer is in German "roastaeuacuer, (i. e.. horse deceiver), showing in what low estimation our cousins across the water hold him. From an exuberance of tncka as given by a gentleman having a comprehensive Knowledge of them, the following are chosen as among the most startling: To quickly subject a horse and make him amenable to his owner's or bis trainer's will, nothing works so unfailingly as cummin and oil ot rho diuu. Bub some cummin on hi nose, strew a little over his favorite food, and while he is eatlug watch your chance and pour some fifteen drops or so ol the oil on the tip ol his tongue. That brings him to every time. To make a lior.se perfectly sound appear lame, all a clever trickster ha to do is to pull out a hair from his tail, thread a needle with it, shove the needle through the skin be t wren the outer and middle tendons of a fore leg, and put down the foot agnu. Au hour later the horse will go lame. The hair pulled out again, the horse quickly recovers, and there s no harm done, except, perhaps, an unwilling owner of a flue beast forced to sell at half price. Among such owners, who are Jouh'v sold, may also be reckoned those who bay a horse apparently quite well, but which next day has the heaves in an unmistakable manner. Such old case can be temporarily cured by giving the animal oae-thir j of a poan-i of bird-shot. Untd the shot passes through the system the horse will not heave. If a horse previously good, gentle, and a steady puller, should suddenly develop a great aversion to even pull, a pound of his own weight after his owner ha given him to a dealer to be sold, it may be that the dealer has produced the metamorphosis by simply bathing the shoulders of the horse at night with a mixture composed of tincture of cantharides and corrosive sublimate. Again, applying tallow ou a horse's front teeth aud to the roof of his mouth will make him not touch his teed and be, apparently, very sick, whereas in rea ity the bea t merely harbor a natural feeling of disgnbt for the depravity of the human race, and especially that portion of it known as horse dealers. Without having drunk from the fabulous fountains of youth, it is within the resources of a well-equipped dealer to make an old fellow of a horse look aud act like a frisky colt. To do this nothing is necessary but to file down his teeth, dot the cavities by using a red-hot iron, puueture the ekm over the eyes, blow in some wind, close the hole, pull out the white hairs, and, presto change! we have a sleek and lively young horse after his coat has been manipulated with white of eggs and some cantha rides given him to make him gay and sportive. The animal may be as old as Methusaleni, but for the time being he'll jump around ns lively as a cricket. One of the wickedest tricks even for a horse jockey is that of making a horse appear gUndered, scare his owner half to death about it, threaten to report him for having a beast with such a dan gerous diseaie in his possession, bny him for a $10 note, and then let the six ounces of meited butter which you bave poured into the animal's ear come out in a day or two, and enjoy the bar gain of having bought a $1,000 horse for next to nothing. Most men will agree after having been made the vic tims of such a little scheme that melted butter is all right on a Welsh rarebit, bnt out of place in a horse's ear. Ancient ttulus in Honor. Ancient ruins, which surpass any thing of the kind yet discovered on the American continent, have been found in ticnora, about four miles south-east of Magdalena, Mexico. There is one pyramid which has a base of 4,350 feet, and rise to a height of luO feet. It has a winding roadway from the bottom by an easy grade to the top, wide enough for carriages to pass over which is many mile in length. On the side of this mouutain a people of an unknown age have cnt hundreds upon hundreds of rooms, from five by ten to sixteen or eighteen feet square The rooms are cut out cf solid stone, and so even and true are the walls, floor and ceding, so ulurub and level, a to defy variation. There are no wiudows to the rooms, and but one entrance, which is always from the top. The rooms are eight feet high from floor to ceding. On the walls are numerous hieroglyhics and representa tions of human forms, with feet and hands of human beings cnt in the stone in different places. As Old Knicllah Law.

Brown, of Fort Worth, Texas, has per fected a magnetic telephone and tele graph, which doe away with batteries of any kind. It was tested over thirty eight mile of wire recently, and prov ed perfectly satisfactory to tek graph men present, both as a telegraph and telephone. The instrument nsed was composed of two ounces of wire and a half pound of steel, and can be made for twenty-five cents. The transmitter ia simply a horse-shoe magnet, either pole being covered with fine wire, coil ed carefully. The armature is a disk of steel, against which the voice i thrown, transmitted through the magnet to the wire. The receiver ia similar, with smaller magnet. It is claimed by the inventor that he can transmit the voice around the world or across the At' an tic ocean, there being no limit to distance, all that is necessary being the increase in size of magnet. The one nsed to day, weighing half a pound, was capa ble of transmitting the voice eeventv- Dve miles. The cost of batterie is said to be 100,000 yearly, which wonld be saved by the invention. In telegraph ing the key instrument now in use would be applied. The receiving oper ator wonld have a disk attached to his ear, hung by a book in a cap or strapped around his bead, the noise now inci dent to telegraph cflise would be done away with. No one could steal infor mation tr.tnsmitted to pool rooms, stock exchanges, etc The telegraph would be absolutely secret. The? inventor say. further, the instrument could be carried on all trains, and, in case of aceidents between stations, could be attached to a telegraph wire and notice given to any station just where the accident oc curred, it nature, etc., and this done in a few seconds, fie also says a miner or diver could take an instrument at tached to an insulated wire, go into a mine or water, pay ont wire and con verse with a person at the other end. By exhaustive investigation the Ger man Anthropological Society ha found that rather more than one-fourth of tbe Bchocl chddren of Central Europe are pure blondes and about one-sixth are brunettes, more than one-half being of the mixed tyre. In Germ:- - 31.80 per cent, cf the children are i-ir, and It 0) per cent, are dark : in Atintrw the dark predominate, being 23,17 per cent, while the fair amount only to 19.79; in Switzerland the blonde are only II 10 percent, while tbe brunettes are 2-. i0 ; and in Belgium the blondes are it.'M per cent The proportion of dark children in Germany increases rapidly toward the south, and that of light children toward the north. This vary ing distribution of fair and dark com plexions form the basis of speculation concerning the early colonization of Germany. Hood 'lhat Will Xot Make Shm. There are sixteen specie of tree in America whose perfectly dry wood will sine in water, the heaviest of these is the black ironwood, of Southern Flori da, which is more than thirty per cent heavier than water. Of the others, the beet known are the lignum vilss aud mangrove. Another i a small oak found in the mountains of Texas, South ern .New Mexico and Anzoca, and wext ward to the Colorado desert, at an ele vation of 5,000 to 10,000 feet. All the specie in which the wood is heavier than water belong to semi-tropical rionda or the and interior I'ai-it region. fia'four Stewart and William Lant uariwuter have made a preliminary comparison between the date of cy clon.c storm in Great Britain and those of magnetic disturbances at the Kew Observatory, Finding that in 30 eases compared 23 presented a distinct mag netic aisiuroanoe preceding the storm, for the most part, by somewhat more ,1 ., . t - iumu -iy, me investigators conse quently intend to pursue the subject exuaustiveiy. At meeting of the Geographical So ciety of I'aris, M. Schrader read a pa per on the masses of snow moved about by the wind among mountains. These masse are not moved about by chance they obey very simple taw which cause them to be deposited at spot where the wind is diminished in inten sity, and give them forma which may be easily analyzed if the quality of the snow, the force and direction of the wind, and tbe contour of the mountain be taken into account. One of the latest specimens of the work of the Messrs. Henry at the Faria Observatory is a fine photograph of the cluster in Perseus, showing stars down to the thirteenth magnitude. The neg ative waa obtained in 50 miuntes with a 6.3 inch object glass of 83-inch for I length ; it has been enlarged four times, and reproduced by helio-engraving. The celebrated Karat recion in Aus tria is remarkable far it underground rivers, which communicate with the surface here and there by vertical shafts. These river are subject to periodical overflows, converting large area into temporary lakes, and an attempt is now to be made to prevent such inundations by enlarging the underground channels. After numerous unsatisfactory at tempt the American Whitehall baa r-n successfully acclimatized in English ponds. His Honor: -'Are yon iruiltv or rmt guilty?'

"Xee," replied the broker.

Hood's Sarsaparilla gives ready relief and speedy cure, from the fact It acts through the blood, and thus reaches every part of the system. " I suffered with catarrh fifteen years.
