THE STEWARD'S SI Oil Y. How the Toblic Sorvatit.a. on Trans at Inn tic Liinr lnrrmw helr Incomes. No one can blame the stewards when they think of their work and know what their wages are. They must live and ought to 1 well paid, though sometimes, as I have shown, there are too many of them after "tips." I had several conversations when on board with a man who had sient thirty years in the service, and has been employed by all the principal lines and crossed on all the best vessels. "Which line do you prefer to ship on?" said I. "Well, there is not a deal of differ ence so far as wages go. but we all like the Cunard ships best," "Why?" "They are more considerate about their stewards and the men as a rule have been in service longer. And then there are more wealthy people travel on that line and tis run higher." "About how much do you clear on a round trip?' "Of course, that depends largely on the season of the year, the class of ias sengers and the location of your rooms. "I can understand the fir.-t reasons, but not the lat one?" "We stewards understand it, sir," said the man, with something akin to a respectful wink. You see a steward who is up to his businessalways chooses the starboard side of the vessel." "And, prav, why is that?'" "ltecause that is generally the side the gentlemen prefer. J-adies as a rule prefer the port.side. and, though there are some exceptions, the gentlemen par the best," "How much money does a steward clear in tips on a round trip?" On a good trip we make from 7 to 10, but, taking the year round it does not average anything like that. The U'drooni stewards make more than the dining room stewards, because while the former mav have twenty or twenty five passengers the latter m no case has more than eight." "1H passengers continue U ay as cheerfully as they formerly did?" "I can't say that they do. The fact is, there are so many now who exiec t to be reniembeied. Formerly a fee to the bedroom and stateroom steward was all that as expected and iasseu gers gave as a general thing halt a sov ereign to tarli. Dut now the deck steward, the smoke room steward, the saloon steward, the ball-room steward are all after their fees, aud passengers feel it a tax and U'gin to divide their tips. Xordo 1 blame them, liecause to give to all makes, as you have very trulv said, a serims item." "Yes; on round figures It adds about ?30 to a passage across the Atlantic and back for a gentleman aud wife, and this does not, include the f audit's, you are exiected to subscribe for the entertainment for the benefit of the sailor's home." "I can cuite believe it. sir." He Chased a Shadow. As the engineer of engine 1.2 i, on the Wabash, pulled out of Given, en route for Ottumwa. one evening re cently, he noticed what apjieared to 1 a small animal hopping along the track ahead of the pilot. Gradual'- he in creased the speed of the loc:i otive, but the little quadruped seemed also to have "dropped another notch," and despite the tremendous gait of '77 easily retained its position. Disgusted beyond expression, the engineer legan heaving chunks of coal at It, but all in vain. It seemed to bear a charmed life, and suc cessfully LaiJled all endeavors of I he en gineer and lireman to check its wild career. For twenty-one miles the en gineer had chased that delusive object, and thoruuhly disgusted he gave up the race at Ottumwa, and stojiped. The object stopped also. With his pick in hand the engineer ma le a sneak on the animal, l.aimless, but possessed of such anomalous migratory powers. With quick precision he brought the pick down fall on the animal's back, but a "sickening thud" was the only sound he heard, and with a wild laugh he arose, henceforth to be a raving ma niac. For a full hour he had been making desjierate effort to run over the shadow of a leaf adhering to the headlight, and the discovery and reac tion were too much for his already shattered nerves. The Unman Family. The human family living to day on earth consists of about 1,4.jO.C"X,ij"0 in dividuals; not less, probably more. These are distributed over the earth's surface so that now there is no consid erable part where man is not found. In Asia, where he was first planted, there are now approximately about 8O0,000,0 Xi densely crowded; on an aver ce. 12J to the square mile. In Euro there are 3",jJO,i0, averaging 10U to the square u.ile, not so crowded, but everywhere dense and at all points over populate. In Africa there are 210,0uu,iUU. In America, North and .south, there are 140,0m", WJ. relatively thinly scattered and recent. In the in lands, large and small, probably 10.000, 000. The extremes of the white and black are as live to three; the remain ing, 7o0.00U.0i 10 intermediate brown and tawny, tlf the race 500,000, 0lJ are well clothed, that is wear garments of some kind to cover their nakedness: 700,000,000 are clothed, covering infe rior parts of the body; 20u,0u,iU) are practically liukod. Of the race 000, 000, OuO live in houses partly furnished with the appointments of civilization: eoO.OOOO in huts or caves with no furnishing; 2(10,000,000 have nothing tliat can be called home, are barbarous and savage. The range is from the topmost round the Anplo Saxon civ ilization, which is the highest known down to naked savagery. The portion of the race 1 ing b-low the line of human condition is at the very least three-filths of the whole, or 9,000,000, 000. When Ought Girls to Marry? Louisa M. Albott replied "from 23 to 30." Helen Campbell believes no man Ct to marry before 0 and bo woman before 25. Lucy Stone does does not believe in early marriage, so she puts the suitable age at from 2o to J0 years. Alary L. Booth avoids figures, but regards immature marriages as fruit ful source of unbapplness. Eunice White Beecber believe tha there are many reasons why marriage, of girls from IS to 21 would seem to promise the happiest results. lie bee ca Harding Davis wrote that she thought the time for a girl to marry is when she meets a man who heartily loves her and whom she heartily loves. Louise Chandler Moulton thinks that more girls are capable of a wise choice at 25 than at 20, and that nine-tenths of our girls would be happier should they wait until the matnrer period. Madeline Vinton Dahlgren thinks that a young woman of 20 must have seen enough of the social atmosphere in which she lives to be able to discrimin ate wisely m the choice of a husband. Winkle "Good morning, Mr. Graybair. You seem to be preparing for a journey." "Yes, and a very long one for one ol my age. I am going to my old home. Bt. Louis." "To live?" Oh, no, of course not to die." FARM NOTES. Faumers Should Know tiik Breeds, Fanners who have familiar ized themselves with the breeds of sheep should bear In mind that they are behind the buyers, who can tell at a moment's examination exactly what kind of a sheep from which the wool was sheared, and Its fitness for the pur pose for which it is desired. The buy era know the breeds, the kind of wool peculiar to each breed, and all about them, for It is "business." A farmer would sneer at a carpenter who profess ed to be a carpenter, and yet who could not do a piece of work in that line; and yet we venture to say there are hun dreds of farmers who profess to be farmers, and who would be insulted If their knowledge of their business were questioned, but who, at the same time cannot tell as mucn anout me prouueu of the farm as many of those wno know nothine of farm life. There are hundreds of farmers who are not able to distinguish breeds of sheep, and who do not know the particular purposes for which a breed is most suitable, ana still thev Dride themselves on their call tag as a business which they Intend to make oroutable. If sucn fanner couia but be brought to a realization of the fact that they are really deficient in knowledce it would be really to their interests to do so. Every year we witness the shipment of the product of the farm to market where the buyer fixes the grade, although he lias Lad no experience on the farm. Farmers as a class are not business-like, for they relv too much on the judgment of others. It Is not intended to imply that they should not seek the advice or others, but when the farmer surren ders everything .to hard work, we in sist that he should begin to educate himself in every possible way in order to improve his chances. Nitrate of Soda, The use of ni trate of soda as a stimulant for grass land and now extensively used for that purpose, was discovered a few years ago by a singular accident. A mater or paper in one of the New England Slates bought a quantity of bags which had contained the nitrate, and spread them upon his lawn in order that a coming rain might cleanse them of the particles of nitrate which ad hered to them. The rain came, and af ter returning sunshine bad dried the bags they were taken to the vats and made into paper. To the owner's sur- Drise the cround from which they bad been removed soon set up a growin or grass which surpassed any he or his neighbors had ever produced. If fears are entertained of disagree able odors in the milk from cabbage or turnip leaves, give the cow about a tea- spoonful of saltpetre once a day, pul verized and put in her grain; if it is already In the milk dissolve the salt petre in water and put about a tea spoonful of the solution to a gallon of milk, and it will remedy it at once," so says an experienced dairyman, lie also says that 44 it drives off good flavors as well as bad ones, and that butter male from m'lk so treated will be as flavor less as winter butter made from fresh meadow hay, but as it does not de stroy the color, people will not find fault with such butter unless they have been used to sometning very nice. Even then they will prefer it to that which has a taste of turnips, cabbage carrots or bitter weeds of any kind. Raising Beets. The beet is one of the best of the early vegetables and should be found in the gardens cf farm ers everywhere. The cultivation of beets is a simple matter They require in order to give them the best results only land, thorough tillage, and abso lute freedom from weeds, Sow as early in tbe,spring as the ground can be got in good working order. Make the rows fifteen inches apart; and drop the seeds an inch apart in the row. If sown very early, and especially if the sou is heavy and cold, it is very desir able to sew the seed thick, say half an inch apart. Thin the plants before they begin to crowd each other, letting the plants stand from three to live inch es apart in the row. The striped bug, which destroys young plants, is a great obstacle to cu cumber culture. Various expedients are resorted to in attempts at protect ion against this pest. An efficient rem edy is sprinkling the plants and surface of the hills, while wet, with ashes, soot and superphosphate. There Is probably no better remedy than soot when this can be obtained in sufficient quantity Boxes with mosquito netting or glass for the top are cheaply and readily made, and when placed over the hills prevent the bugs from their work ol destruction. When you set the hens scatter sul phur, snuff, tobacco or insect powdei in the nest, aud again about ten days before the chicks are due dust the feathers of the ben well with sulphui or insect powder, aud the chicks will come from the nest free from lice; then put them in a clean coop, give the mother hens a chance to du-t them selves, and the chicks will not be troubled with lice. For young chicks that are troubled with lice there is nothing better than a few drops oi sweet cream on the head of each cue. It soon spreads and kills the lice. The -ldKiican Agriculturist thinks that melons should be allowed to become "dead ripe" before the seeds are taken from them for next season, as they will grow better. The same is true ct near ly all fruits and vegetables, for perfect maturity of the seed is essential to ger mination. A coitEEsroxDEXT mentioned that he used carbolic acid and soapsuds on his plum trees, with perfect success, as a remedy for curculio. He used one large spoonful of the acid to a bucket of suds, stirred it thoroughly and dash ed it up through the trees with a tin cup. When a tree is to be transplanted never leave more branches than are wanted for mains four or five at most: never grow a mass of unnecessary limbs to be crowding which must be cut out afterwards, much to the Injury of the tree; remove them from the bead at first. Oxe causo of a failure to procure eggs at this time is the moulting of the hens. Those that moult the earli est will begin to lay tne soonest, and should be kept for winter laying. Yorxo calves should not be allowed to become stunted for want of proper care or a sufficient supply of milk. Push them from the start whether in tended for veal or the dairy. A reetpe for making paper as tough as leather, which has recently been in troduced in Europe, consists in mixing chloride of rine with the pulp in the course of manufacture. It has lieen found that the greater the degree of concentration of the sine solution, the greater will be the toughness of the paj.er. It can be used for making bor es and combs, for roofing, and even for making boots. Vie world's blind are computed to number about LOOO.OOO. or about one sightless person in every 1400 inhabi tants. The proportion is greatest in Egypt and least in New Zealand. Germany has the greatest number of institutions for the bund, and America is eighth on the list. HOUS-HQUJ. To use up two spare yolks, put small cup of rice on to boll with a pint and a half of milk. When it is cooked quite sort and as stiff as it can be to be stirred, turn it out, sweeten, put a tiny pinch of salt to it, a large teaspoonful of vanilla extract, the grated rind of a lemon, and when it is a little cooled the yolks of two eggs beaten. It should now be about as thick as mush. Butter a small shallow pan, square or oblong, cover it with bread crumbs and put m the rice, smoothing it over on the top. It should be in a layer about an inch and a half deep; or oil a little butter over the tea kettle and pour over the top, slanting the pan so that it will cov er the rice equally. Sift fine sugar thickly over the top, and pour into the oven to bake a light brown. Let it get cold in the pan. Then cut it into strips of an inch broad, and two or three long, like a delicate cake. Tut on a dish in the ice chest to get perfectly cold before serving. To make it very dainty chopped almonds may be strewed into the sugar of the top before baking. This dish may be served hot, also as an entree. It is called French naked nee. SrisACii is one of the most while- some vegetables. It has been called by a French physician "the broom of the stomach." It may be simply boiled in salt and water, drained, finely chopped and then returned to the saucepan ith some butter; set on the fire until the butter is melted, then serve. Spinach a la creme is delicious. Boll and chop the sninach in the usual way. Set it on the Dre in a sauceian and stir nntil it is perfectly dry, add two ounces of butter and stir for five or six minutes, tor each two Quarts of rpiuach add two tablespoonfuls of cteam, and stir again for five minutes aud then take it irom the fire. Stir in one ounce of butter and serve hot, garnishing with harC boiled eggs and croutons. The eges should be cut in quarters or sixths. FUES EXT FOR A SMOKER. Get ft long, shallow box, but one large enough to bo.d pipes, pouches, matches, etc. Cover the box with heavy linen, etch ing upon the top of the cover a design of crossed pipes, with an appropriate motto, such as: "My clouds all other cloud i despise." Get some thin, soft scarlet kid or morocco, cut It in strips. notch or piuk the edge, and tack it all around the edge with tiny brass-neaoee tacks. If the poiuts go through tarn them down with pincers. Finish the top and bottom of the box in the same way, then paste a lining ot orgnt col' ored paper over the inside. IxdEXiois persons may make screens out of the two-fold towel or clothes-rack. The rick is covered with stout unbleached muslin or thin can vas, and on tins is pasted the Japanese wall uapcr that is very effective. The l-ars may be stained or painted accord ing to fancy. On one of these screens a young girl had pasted Christmas and birthday cards, arranging them very prettily. The spaces were tilled in with dead gold paper having a delicate floriated design. The effect was not unlike the Japanese paper screens. Another screen was covered with a soft blue paper, and over this was a flight of swallows cut from dull black paper. CooKiso Veai. Cutlets. After the cutlets are trimmed, salt and pep per them and broil them over a bnk fire for five minutes, aud then (lace them without delay on a buttered dish by the fire. While the cutlets are broiling prepare the sauce tor them. Mix three eggs with two tablespoonfuls of flour, seasoning with a very little nutmeg, and salt and pepper; then mix carefully with two cups of milk and pour over the cutlets. Put the dish in the oven until the cutlets are well browned, then serve. Some invalids are not able to take the milk punch offered for them on ac count of the froth produced by beating the egg. This aversion may be over come by beating the egg only 6o long a time as is needed to thoroughly disinte grate it without producing the froth. Four the milk on the egg and then add the stimulant. Salsify may be fried in this way: Scrape the roots and lay them in cold water, one by one, with a few drops of vinegar. When all are scraped, move them about in the water and then put them in boiling water with a little salt; boll until tender and drain. Then dip each into batter and fry them in hot fat. Take them out with a skimmer; lay them on a warm colander, sprinkle a little salt over them and serve hot. Handsome and delicious frosting can be made by using the yolks of eggs in stead of whites. It will harden just as nicely as that does. This is particular ly good for orange cake, harmonizing with the color of the cake in a way to delight the soul of those who love rich coloring. Fried or Smoked Beef. Shave it thin, then put iu your spider a pint of rich cream, place on the stove and stir it while boiling until it is rich and thick; then drop in the shaved beef and clasp at once. Some persons like this served on toast; it Is very nice if cold potatoes are chopped and warmed over In milk and served at the same time. A DAXDY dish for breakfast or lunch is made of slices of fresh, crisp toast, buttered very slightly. Ou each slice put salmon and cucumlier or cold meat and chutney, sprinkled with pepper, and wrap each slice in a lettuce leaf that has been steeped in vinegar. Axy kind of cold boiled fish may be utilized for breakfast or lunch, l ick the fish into flakes and put it in a sauce pan with enough milk to moisten it, season with pepper and salt. Add a little butter, and when quite hot pour it on buttered toast, garnishing with hard boiled eggs cut in slices. Discolored marbles can often be restored by rubbing with pumice stone.

A gunpowdor engine has been pat eated in Germany by Herr Beck. In it piston is forced to and fro in horizontal cylinder by small quantities of rowder ignited on either Bide alter nately. -Powder pans are provided on the bottom within, on which, at the proper moment, powder falls through passages from two holders which rest ondiatributlon slides. The Igniting or the powder is effected by means of a spirit or gas flame from the cylinder cover, drawn in through an oblique ap erture by the suction force of the pis ton. The access is regulated by slides. The gases of explosion are expelled through holes furnished with slides on the return of the piston. The heavy residues are pushed by the piston into bags, which are emptied At intervals. It is claimed for the new motor that, with small occupied space, it is very effective and easily set at work. The consumption of powder is comparatively small, and the engine regulates ii The danger is also represented as very slight. Singularly enough, examinations made of the painted windows, so cele brated as works of artistic genius and skill, of the old cathedrals of England and Continental Europe, show that their superiority consists really in the rnien orlty of the glass, its richness in the poverty of its constituents, in the very Derfectlon of its uneven thickness, and in the imperfections of its surface and its body, all covered as they are Dy me accumulating dust of ages, add honey combed by the corroding effect oi time.

Keep the mouth closed and breathe through the nose, especially in cold weather. There are two good reasons for this. Air drawn through the nasal passages is slightly warmed on its way; if breathed more directly through me mouth it reaches the lungs too cold. It is also said, and it looks reasonable. that the fine hairs lining the nostrils keep out dust and disease germs which would find free passage to the taroat and lungs if one breathed through the mouth. Children should be taught correct habits of breathing from the beginning. . The difficulty that is experienced in some chimneys with a strong down draught is said to nave been entirely obviated by an English device, it con slsts of a number of grooved rings. placed over each other with spaces be tween and made of metal or ciay. The grooves are so shaped that when the wind strikes them it is so deflected that it draws air up the chimney, and in this way effectually prevents down draught. The younger Tliny. writing to one cf his friends, about one ot his country seats, mentions, among other things, that next to the smaller drawing-room there is a semi-circular room with win dows arranged so as to get the light of the sun all day. He says: "Out of this is a bed room which can be warmed with hot air. He also refers to the bath with its cooling-room and its hot-room." Asniny Jr. lived A. D.
