MONTitOSE, PA. ; JUNE 13,1877. e farm . ..itt#: - '1.00440d TESTING EGGS. • When desirable to test eggs as to fresh ness, it can be very easily done as follows.: Take a largo pa n of cold water and place them lightly in it ; those which -.sink first to the bottom are sure to be the freshest. In .packing eggs always place the small end downwards. • PROTECTION FROM PLIES. A course netting, - made of thread ". even if the meshes be over quarter of an i n ch apart, will; If :placed at your open ,widow, keep flies from entering the room. They will not pace throu it though th 6 meshes be large enoug hto form no real obstruction to - their'hodies. • NOVBI43IIMENT. , There is no disguising the fact that there is as much real nourishment in one bushel of beans or :.dried. peas, as there is in five or six of potatoes. Pea soup, made agreeably thick, is morenourish \ ing than meat' and c nsiderably more so than fine wheat flour. The fi ner flour is bolted the less nouriahin it becomes. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. We heard of 'a choice domestic bever age for breakfast, used in .Northern , New York State, formed by mixing roasted acorns with coffee, and grinding them in equal proportions together. Pure.grodnd coffee, and purchased of the dealers, is a simple humbug in our cities,as it is, uni versally - adulrated by some : cheap in gredient. SANDWICHES. To make nice - sandwiches, boil a fow Pounds of lam and chop it very fine while it is yet warm—fat and all-to-gether— and rub dry mustard in proportions to suit your taste thrdugh the mass ; add. as much sweet butter as is usually spread on the bread sandwiches, and mix. Then split light biscuits in halves and. spread the ham between. CLEANING AND POLISHING. A compound for poliehing and cleau leg metals is composed of one ounce carbonate of ammonia dissolve in, four ounces of water ; with this is mixed six teen ounces of Paris White. A moisten ed sponge is dipped in the powder and rubbed lightly over the surface bf the, metal, after which the powder is dusted leaving a fine brilliant lustre. - VEGETABLES. Potatoes are. _good with salt meath. Carrots, parsnips, turnips greens and cab bage are. eaten with boiled ,meat; and beets, peas and beans with either boiled or roasted meat. Mashed turnips, onion and apple sauce are good with roast pork. Tomatoes are good with:every kind of meat, especially so -with roast beef. Cranberry sauce and currant jelly with fowls, veal. ham and game.' THE PILLOW. A child's bed should slope a little from the head to foot, so that the head May be a little higher than the foot. We should never bend the neck to get. the 116111 on a pillow. This makes the child round shouldered, cramps the , veins and arteries, and interf f eres with the free circulation of the blood. Even when the: child is #_veral years old' the pillow. shOuld be thin, and made . of hair not feathers.. Sailing Cows. - My practice, says an old dairyman, is to give my cows all the halt they will eat, three times a week through the summer season. The amount consumed by them is greater while in flush feed than in short. The amount of milk returned by the cows is from a quart to a third afore than when salted but once a week. It may be that some soils are deficient salt, and that 'stock irequire it in large quantities to equalize the system. •If so they are the beet judges. The effect of salt is to increase the desire for both .food and drink. Hence the materials for milk. More salt is consumed by my stock when fedon a clean grass patch, where they can mix salt, and grass than if in a shed. A strong Solution of-salt in_water. irregularly applied on' hay for either cat tle or horses produces scouring. - In the first few days of warm weather the temptation to begin garden opera tions often gets the better of a prudent regard for the condition of the soil* Too, much care can not, be used to prevent the working of ground that is all sticky. The baking that will result will injure the soil for years. Ground stirred while wet late in the fall or in mid-winter will take little if any harm,. as the freezing before hot or dry weather comes prevents the caking, but if at once "ptiddled" and Bo dried _several winters' frost will, be re quire to reduce the brick-like mita' to.fri ability.

T In Che long ; times when great at tention: was paid to the observance of aiiints' .days, fit was very natural that St. Nicholas' Day, the 6th of December, should •be celebrated by the children, especially in the schools, and 'wherever many were gathered togethe; for any purpose ; and so we find traces of many odd and interesting.customs connected with the observance of the festival. ,But nowhere was it celebrated with greater solemnity, or in , a more singular way than at Salisbury, in Old .England ti It :'was there the custom to chose from among the choristers—ihe boy-singers of the cathedral—an epiecopus puerorum; which means, as those who have studied. Latiti will kno AP, a l"bishop of the, boys." in old English he ,was called the "bane byshop." or "chyld' byshop,"—that is, child bishop. From the feast of St. Nich olas . until Innocents' Day, the 28th of December,ihis child-bishop was invest ed with great authority, and maintained all the state of a real prelate Of the church. He ivore a bishop's robes and Miter, and carried in his hand the pastoral staff or crozier while the rest of the choristers attend:4 him as prebendaries, and yield ed to him the same obedience which 'was shown by the real officials to their super ior, the bishop. Upon the eve of Inno cents' Day,—a day observed in memory of 'the innocent - ohildien murdered by Herod,—the boy,bishop, attended by-his fellow-choristers in rich copes, with light ed tapers in their hands, went in solemn Procession•to the altar of the Holy Trin• ity. As they marched along, three of the children chanted hymns. The dean and canons walked at the head of the proces 7 sion, the chaplain next, and the bishop, with his little prebendaries, in the place of honor, last of all. The bishop then took his, seat upon a - throne, while the rest of the children were- arranged on each side of the choir 'upon the upper most ascent. They then performed at the altar the same service, with the ex ception of the mass, that the real bishop and his clergy would have performed had they officiated. After service, all left the church in the same solemn order. Such a singular ceremony must have ex cited great curiosity 'among the .people who filled the cathedral on the holiday, and we can well imagine that. there . Would have been much confusion and `disturbance but for a severe law which forbade any _person to press -upon the children, 'or to hinder or interrupt them in any way, upon pain of -excommunica tion. One can fancy that he sees the lit tle fellows with their long faces, fill with a sense of their momentary dignity, marching solemnly up the aisle, while the rude crowd on either hand pushes and jostles, each man trying to get himsplf into a place where he can see the odd and attractive spectacle ! What did thew think of it, these child-priests of a day *?, Diethey feel that .they were taking part in a sacred ceremony, or was it simply a novel kind .of play to them ? We can not tell. But as for the boy-bishop, al though he may have enjoyed the impor tance of :his position for a day or two; am quite sure that he mustlaye grown heartily tired of his dignity before the three weeks of his episcopate were over. Daring all that time he was forbidden "to least or to retake wisits," but was re quired to stay in the common room of the choristers, keeping up the dignity of his office.. Think of the little fellow, compelled to act his part with all the gravity of ;a grown person, sitting in solemn state while his light-hearted play fellows were perhaps - romping in the cathedral close by, or even making sly at tempts to disturb his composure. The Deacon% Conundrum. • "Boys I" said Deacon Green to a group , of red-cheeked fellows the other "day. "I never see a healthy, go-ahead crowd , of young folks like you, that I don't say to myself, 'here's 4 chance foi practical religion.' Do you .know the reason ?" "Is it a conundrum 2" .asked three of the-boys in a breath. A "Yee," said Deacon, with the air of a man who had inteCded to. make' a speech, but,hal suddenly decided to- keep it , to . hiinself. "It is a conundrum." Then the Deacon gave a pleasant nod, and walked off := "Now, what did he mean by that 2" said one of the fellows. _ "I know," cried Bob King. "He , meant that some folks think religion.is; intended only for Sundays and for sick; people; and the Deacon would like' toy seo more well people tiling it on week-days! - -that's all." "Humph I" said John Salters. "You know a heap —you do-I". "The - "The Deacon does, anyhow,". anqwer ed__Bob, meekly. "You can't get'arOund that." 4. Houtm,..llllllding Fish.

DR. SCHENCK'S PULUOXIC SYRUP.--Sea weed .Tenic, and Mandrake Pills. These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures. of consumption than ; any other remedy knOwn to . the Amerimiri public. They are compounded of - vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the human conatitil -tion. Other, remedies advertised as cures for consumption, probably contain, opium, which Is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely , by consumptive patients, it `must do great injury ; for its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which 'of course, must make a Leure Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is- warranted not to contain a particle of opium ; it is composed of poweifbl but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach, and blood, and thus cor rect all morbid secretions, and expel all the di seased matter from the body. These are the only means' by which consumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in this way, it is ob vious ther are the only genuine cures for Pul monary Consumption.
