When we wish to extract Juices from anything we put it ia cold water, and let it gradually reach the boiling point so when we wish the viands to retain their juices, and use the water only as a medium for cooking them, tne oppo site course must be pursued. Here are two things to remember when cooking either real or pork: they should be cooked so thoroughly that the lean part will be white and firm, and they should never be boiled unless first well salted. With pork there should be served some kind of farinaceous vegetable, like rice, pota toes or hominy. I.emon Juice squeezed upon your spots of iron rust, with salt plentifully sprinkled over it. will probably re move all traces of tho unsightly spots on your white dress.

Soft water should be used in cooking vegetables, and the only way city folus can soften water is to add a little salt to It.

An Adventure In m Welt. The story of the unfortunate Du favel, who was burled accidentally in a well, and remained in it for a long Ieriod, is not without a irallel in the history of uiiu.iig transaction in Frauup. In the Uepartmeut of the In ure, and parish of Fleure-la-HlYlere, about 8.30 one morning, EUtnne Bil lard, a working mason, ileeeeuded a well 120 feet deep, for the purpose of examining it preparatory to some re pairs. When be had reached the bottom, or nearly so, aa extensive portion of the sides fell upou liiiu, uud abut lilui out from the ligbt of day ; but by a remark able piece of good fortune, the mater Lils, in falling, formed a small arch of about three feet in diameter around Ilia he ad. Had It not been for this, he woultl have been either fatally hurt by the heavy t tones of the masonry, or would have been suffocated immediate ly. Every other pait of the well around bis body s ulied compactly with the fallen materials. The not of the Imiptlou was heard by some woiktuen near the spot, who immediately ran up to it. On listening iiitentl. they heard the cries of 1111 lid, and the certainty that be was yet alive inspired the hope of delivering bun. Sending off one of their number to alarm the neighboring inhabitants and authorities, these workmen then lowen-d lighted candles down the well, the danger of a further fall of the sides deterring them from going down. The candle went down 1' 0 feet, thus showing that about twenty feet of the mass, or a considerable portion thereof, lay above tlie unfortunate liillard. In reply to their call, be was heard dis tinctly to say that lie could not see an thing of the light. "I am assured," Le luoreorer said, "that I am a lost man. But I sulfer no pain, and I breathe freely," 'o ordinary difficulty. It was ob vious, stood in the way of relief in this case. For workmeu to descend Into the narrow, deep well and attempt to clear away the tulus without some security against further fall of the aides was a dangerous task. The authorities of the dis-lnct, as sjon as they arrived ai d saw the nature of tlie accident, sent oil an express for the district super intendent of roads and bridges, M. Cer tain. He was at some distance and did not arrive till next day. In the meantime, one man, a slater, ventured to descend to the top of the fallen mass of stones and earth, which provrd, as had been shown by the van dies, to be aitftut one hundred feet below the orifice. Urged by the indistinct cries for help which they heard from poor Billard, the men on the spot began to lift the stones forming the sides ol the well. "When M. Certain arrived, he descended without hesitation Into the well, and put several quest ions to Bil laiii reflecting his situation. M. Certalu judged it proper to con tinue the raising of the sides of the well, as the displacement of the lower part would render it most Imprudent to go on otherwise. No side boring could be executed with such speed as the whole well could be cleared. The soil, fortunately, was clayey and firm. While this labor was going on day and night, with the utmost rapidity compatible with a proper degree of caution, friends and fellow-workmen of liillard de scended occasionally to animate him with the cheering sound of kindly vo.ces, and with the assurance that help was near. On the morning of the 20th the Gov ernor and head engineer of the Depart ment of the Indre arrived. iL Ferrand, Inspector of Works, was with him, and descended into the well. He gave hit assent to the continuation ot the opera tions going on, which some of the anx ious lr lends of the prisoner were besin- uiiia - -1 .,-t..- frntn tbeir steiuing slowness. In presence of the gentlemen mentioned the labors were continued, and on the evening of the iyth the well was clear to the uppei part of the fallen mass. Without delay, the process of lifting them was begun; but from the size ot the stone, the work went on very tar dily, through the difficulty of hoisting them to such a distance above. After they had advanced a certain way a new difficulty met them in the face. It was impossible to tell the exact state of the arch formed so miraculously over the hta 1 of the unfortunate man, or its degree of stability. It was neces sary therefore to go on with the eleva lion of the stones with extreme cart and delicacy, otherwise the unsettle tuent of any poitiou of the heavy masset atove In in might have caused his in stantaTieou.s death. At 10 o'clock in the evening of the 20lh the workmen were calculated tc be about six feet above the captive, who had now la-en shut out from the light since the morning of the U ill. It wa! impossible to send him food by a bore and lie had tbert foie the pressure of hunger added to Ins mlserv. His voice was heard more clearly as the workmen went on. and they could not even U-il the exact innut where he was confined. But duiing the u:ght of the 2llh hi voice liecame a source of fear and alarm to the la 1 sirers aliove him. BilUrd's motionless condition, bis want of food for so long a tune, began to overthrow his moral courage. 11 is reason gave place to delirium, his hoi to desalr. The workmen heard him at one moment lamenting his fate and piteously crying for rood, and at tht next moment thev heard him abandon iug himself to tlie most extravagant gayety. Laughter heard in such a situation was a thing almost too deplorable aud shocking for human ears to listen to. When consulted on the meaning ol these symptoms, on the iwut of Billard, M. NaU rt, a surgeon who had nevei quitted the sot since the time of the accident, recommended the workmen to hurry on their lal-rs, as the luiti could proliably mii vive bu. a few hours m this slate. In consequence of this at vice a new direction was given to the work, ami in place of passing down by the side or the t-ls-t wheie the poor man was supiosed to he, the excavation was carried slop ingly down to his head. In short, after three day9 and tlnee nights of inces sant toil, the I iea. I of Billard was reached, and cleared of all surrounding matter. The instant that this took place, it was noticed ti those above by a cry. and the deafening shouts tint were immediately raised showed what an assemblage had gathered around the place to learn the Issue of the case. The deliverance took place exactly a quarter of an hour lief ore 11 o'clock in the morning of the 3uth. When raised once more to the daylight every precau tion was taken to preveut aiiy bad ef fects from a change so sudden. He was carried to a neighboring house, with his body and head well wraped up, and there he was laid in an apai t ment from which the light was, in a great measure, excluded. After some spoonfuls of light broth and a little wine had been administered to him he fell immediately asleep, never having tasted that blessing duriug his confine ment. Ktienne Billard soon recovered. His imprisonment bad not been so pro tracted as to render the vital heat dl.li cult of restoration. Ills body, how ever, though not mangled or bruised, as it might have Leen expected to be, re- uauieo lor a long time a feeling of dull lain from the pressure that had been exerted upon It, It is when the seed is produced that the lasst is taxi d most severely la pro ti actio, : - FAB 11 N0TE3. WHY T A.B1CER3 SHOULD KEEP BEES. The tact that bees are pollen distrib utors is sufficient reason why a place should be made for them on every farm. If kept for dq other purpose than toe benefit they do to growing crops and fruit-bearing trees and plants by spread ing the pollen among the blooms, these industrious workers would be a valua ble adjunct. Testimony is abundant and conclusive as to tne desirable ef fects of bees upon grape vines, fruit trees and fruit-bearing plants generally. Indeed, one prominent apiarist goes so far as to insist that a few hives of bees judiciously placed will revive a fruit farm from a non-paying to a profitable Investment. Field crops, scientists tell us and wide-awake farmers know from their own observation, are greatly as sisted by the honey bee's manipulations. Indeed, their influence is required for the perfect Ooial fertilization of some of the cereal crops and the meadow grasses. Where the farmer is too busy to give his personal attention to the pro duction of honey it is suggested that he purchase a few hives aud turn these over to the care of his wife and daugh ters. They will find the pin money ac cruing from the sale of the honey a convenient and pleasant return for the labor and time spent among the bees. The outdoor occupation, too, will prove a welcome and healthful change from indoor drudgery, which they can then afford to hire done. This is a matter of interest to stock men. It is said that Fasteur's Idea, that Infectious diseases in animals can be prevented oy Inoculation, the same as vaccination prevents smallpox, has been carried out to some extent by the .Saxony Agricultural Ssociety with the approval of the Gsrman Government. Sixteen head of cattle were inoculated for pleuro-pneumonia and subsequently placed among a herd highly Infected wiih that disease, Thirteen of the number remained entirely unaffected; the other three had the disease In a mild form. While the experiment has not been tried to a sufficient extent to demonstrate beyond all doubt that the principle is correct, the results are re garded as possible. Beet suoaii There are at present 13j0 beet sugar factories In Europe.and they consume 24,000,000 tons of beets every year. Their annual output of sugar amounts to 2,000,000 tons. It is said that over fSO.OOO.OOO are expended for labor and fuel.aud ihat$10J,00O,0O0 are paid to farmers for beets. These figures are probably too high, but they serve to throw light upon the magni tude and Importance of the industry. A novel device for controlling excita ble horses has lately been invented. It Is attached to the browiiand of the bri dle or headstall, and a light but strong cord runs through loops along the reins to the hand piece. "In ca-e of fright puH the cord, and instantly the horse is blindfolded. This diverts his attention from the object of fright am! uts him into another train of though.'. Let go the cord and the double spring t lnstaotlv withdrawsthe blinds from the eyes and rolls them out of sight." This device is not clumsy, and does notclog in action. A farmer labors bar J, early, late.per slBtently. lie gives little time to men tal culture; to silent communings that elevate the spiritual nature still less. In old age Le has worldly wealth, with mental and spiritual poverty. This is not the best success. Ignorance and prejudice are the bane ot the farmers' cause ignorance of their rights and prejudice against each other. When they know their rights and are willing to trust them in the bands of their kind as in the bands ot others, ttiAir i-v -'lipM will fsh. A potato "sorter" Is something that is needed, and, it invented, it will find ready sale. Apple "sorters" nave been m use for some time, but as yet pota toes are assorted by band. Solid manure and dry dirt will bold liquid manure well. The solid portinns aiisorb large quantities of moisture and the mixture of solids and liquids im proves the quality of both. Pry soils should receive flat cultiva tion, and damp soils should be ridged. The object, in the first place, is to save as much of the moisture as possible an i in the second, to get rid of the excess. Time intelligently given to bees will pay equally well with that given to any other kind of farm work, ami where too many are not kept it may be done at such time as not to interfere with other important svork. The only great thing needed in the winter care of animals is more food of a succulent character, and the silo is a ready heliier in the production of such lood. If young raspberry plants are to go out no delay should be made. Very warm days are not beneficial to them at first, as they prefer cool shade until they u-gin to start. IVjn't let earth or rubbish accumu late around the sills of the barn: if you do, it will not be many years before the expense and trouble of anew sill will have to be incurred.

Wealthy ritizens and members of the aristocracy, ill attired in tatters, and high-born lames dressed as beggars, were in at .rn, lance.
