; MOKE ARKANSAS ELOQUENCE.
. The Speech of Baker, of Benton, in
Ch ngii>c from Berry to Jones.
f.AjMri'r* Reportof Liltlt BoeHArk.) Gatelte.
Mr. Baker, of Benton, when his name
was reached, rose to his feet and said:
• Mr. President, I cast my first vote in
this Senatorial contest for Gov. James 11.
Berry, and I have continued to do so up
to the present time. I know him and I
like him. lie is a good man, and well
•lualified to fill the i*llice; an honored
citizen, a brave soldier, and an able
statesman, he is high in the esteem of the
public. 1 am a rough man myselt—a
man from the mountains—and 1 am one
of those men who stick by their fiiends;
1 stick by my friends when they deserve
it, when they are able and wall ijualititd,
until they fall, and even then i’ll not de
sert them; I am like Collins' ‘sheep;’
when they fall I fall with them. I hattd
to see Gov. Berry withdraw from the
field, but when 1 saw it must be, 1
looked about me and took the tiling under
consideration and thought on it. 1
taought long and carefully over it, and I
siept with it. I saw 1 must
cast my vote for some oue else, and 1
must make a choice of the Other candi
dates. I’ll tell you how 1 did it. I
looked over the field. I have met the
other two, and i had studied them. 1
met the Hon. Poindexter Dunn and
1 saw in him many good points. I saw
a fine head on him (I greatly admire a
fine head) and 1 saw in him a great
coming man. But I tell you what did the
work tor me. 1 met Mrs. Jones—the
wife of the Hon. James K. Jones—and
that settled it. This is how it was. I
met her and went and called on her—yes,
I did. The room was full of beautiful
women. 1 didn’t hardly know what to do,
but she sat by the piano and 1 asked her to
play a little tune on it for me
—I asked her that very thing—asked her
if she could play 'My Old Cabin Home.’
She said she would il 1 would sing a verse
of it, anil I said I’d try. [Cries ‘Sing it
now, let’s hear it;.’ Y'ou wait. I said 1
would, and she touched up the piano, hit
i the very key-note ot the piece—the tuue
1 know’and love best on earth. It rang
and echoed about the room. The place
was full of women, and pretty women,
too. Applause . And among them 1
saw Miss Iloane, the daughter of old Gov.
Koane, the lady of whom Mr. McMillan
spoke so beautifully a while ago. They
crowded around, and right there I stood
, and I sung the verse. [Cries of '* s ing,
! sing—give us the verse .’ All right.
| gentlemen, to accommodate you I’ll sing
i it,” and, clearing his throat, the gentle
! man trom Benton struck up a bear-tone
; solo and sang:
u We’ll hunt no more the grizzly
in the nook.
Wo'll leave the canon all
So dry;
We’ll drink no more of the
Clear crystal brook.
So. my log cabin home, eoode-by."
| As the “goode-bye” floated up among the
j cobwebs m the dome ot the hall the
densely packed throng burst into cheers
and shouts, a tornado of applause shaking
1 the old Douse, while hursts of laughter
| broke out like thunderbolts, and band
clappings sounded like hail among the
I e#nfusion. At length the orator succeeded
| in getting silence again, after bowing and
! gesticulating several minutes, and said:
I -Hold on —wait and hear the chorus,” ar.d
1 then he sang
THE CHORUS.
••We'll mind iu> more, l>ut play.
1 never shall fora-1
that log cabin home—
That log cabin home far away.”
Again the storm broke forth, and it was
! several minutes liefore he could proceed.
Wht n a lull came he continued: “Well,
i those ladies crowded around me, and
i when Mrs. Jones stopped play log I seized
her hand and I said: ‘Madam, I am in
love with you.’ [Shouts, i Yes, 1 told
her 1 had fallen in love with her, and she
said she wished I’d fall in love with her
husband as well. She treated me nice—
they all did, too. Now, lam a rough old
man, but ladies have great attractions for
tne old mountain boomers. 1 know I do
cheers), and I never forgot that visit.
They looted so sweet and nice I wanted
to hug them all. When l met Mr. Jones I
looked at him closely, and saw in him a
man I could well support. He had a big
head, too—a head like a washtub—eyes
set away back in, and a deep-rhiuking
look In them, and so, with all of this to
think of, after looking well about me, after
considering the matter well, after sleep
ing with it, I have concluded to vote for
the Hon. James K. Jones.” [Cheers, long
and loud.]
A SHADOW ON THE WALL.
A Highly Sensational Story That for a
I.ng Time Disturbed a Quiet Family.
Ath'ns Bamitr- Watchman.
Some time since, in our city, a young
lady had retired to bed, but had not
blown out the lamp. Her glance rested
on a spot in the wall, where was clearly
outlined the shadow of a man’s profile,
; and the figure too, hand a most hideous
| and menacing look. With a wild shriek
she sprang from her couch, and in her
I gown rushed into a parlor were some
| friends were sitting. I’ale and treni
; bling she slated that a man was con
| eealed in her room, aud described the
i figure on the wall. Arming themselves
with such weapons as were at hand, a
! charge was at once made by the males,
the ladies bringiug.up the rear. Sure
enough there still remained the image
of the intruder. Snatching up the lamp
one of the gentlemen started to search
under the bed, but at this instant the face
vanished. A search was made not only
of every part of the room, but throughout
the house, but with no success. At length
it was Uvcided that some person in the
street had stopped to look into the win
dow,and thus the shadow was cast. Hut
this suggestion was at once dispelled, for
as soon as the lamp was replaced on the
table the lace again appeared. Another
fruitless search was made. It was de
cided that the strange visitor was con
cealed in some out-of-the-way place, and
his reflection exposed by the light. Tnere
was but little sleep in the house that
night, but all passed otf quietly. At
intervals for months the face would ap
pear on the wall without a particle of
change in the expression. No one would
occupy the room, and tiually the hidden
man tiie<fty gave place to same supernat
ural agency. The room was known as
the haunted chamber, and a great many
friends were invited to witness the sighl.
If was found that the shadow only ap
peared when the lamp was placed on a
certain table, in a particular position. A
few nights since an inquiring lady, hear
ing ot the matter, expressed a desire to
sleep in the haunted roam and see if she
could not unravel the mystery. Permis
sion was given, and at the usual time she
retired to lied, leaving the light ablaze
and the human head clearly defined upon
the wall, she decided that the reflection
was cast by some object in the room, und
let her eyes investigate everything that
came to view. She was about giving np
the task in despair when her vision rested
on the fireplace, w here a cheerful wood
blaze was burning. The fuel was upheld
by a pair of ohl-lashioned andirons, their
tops ornamented with the figure of a
man’s head, the exact counterpart of the
shadow on the wall. She at once arose,
dressed herself aud summoning the family,
proved to their entire satisfaction that
the ghost w hich had so long disturbed
the peace oi the household was nothing
but a harmless piece of cast iron. The
young lady, who had lirst made the start
ling discoverv. that night again took
possession ot her termer chamber, and
says she will n-ver again either believe
in ghosts or the time-worn fancy of a man
u nder-the-bed.
The Hog Ate L>j n*uuit**
Marftion ( Wi*.) Democrat,
The question of the work of dynamite
fiends in London, recently, being discus
sed in one of the public resorts of this city,
many stories were told ot terrible destruc
tions that this material had caused, at
times. By and by a cap sheaf took its
place. Agentleman remarked: “Talk
about dynamite, 1 cau tell you a true sto
ry of wbat nitro-glyeerene oncedid in < ur
State. It was out near Prairie du Chieu,
where they were blasting in a cut on the
Prairie du Cbien division ot the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul lioad. Toe con
tractor had several kegs of the stud in an
underground place. One day a workman
went to get 6ome and left the place open;
by and by some hogs came along, undone
of them slipped into this place where the
{ combustible Itself was kept. The hog
found a keg open, and as glycerine is as
swtf almost as honey the animal tilled
him- '. He came out by and by and
soot: ndered into a stable near by
which utained about 40 horses belong
ing to : contractor. The hog got fooling
around . -ong the horses’ hind legs.when
one of tLvai drew otf and gave Mr. Hoga
good one. The concussion started the
business, and not a vestige was ever dis
covered of tie hog, or a single horse, or
the stable. And where the stable mice
stood there was a hole in the earth ot) feet
deep aud not more than 200 feet in circum
ference.” , .. ,
There is a gentleman in this city kuow
in” to these facts.
THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1885.
THE FIELD, FA 1C AM) UAIiDEN.
We solicit articles for this department.
Rie name c£ the writer should accompany
!be letter or article, r.ot necessarily
kor publication, but as evidence of good
faith.
Farming,
Says Mr. John M. Stahl, is an occupation
broad enough to give play to every fac
ulty. Give your business all you have to
give and you will find need lor yet more.
Stick to it and it alone. Do not take up
side issues nor become an agent for some
thing. Farming is enough of itself for
any man, and just as you put your heart
in your work you will find more money,
#iore pleasure and more contentment.
Have a right conception of your business
and stick to it. Do not exchange it for
business in the city you have no experi
ence with unless you desire to become
poor and helpless, as nine out of every
ten city men from the country always do.
Farm Laborei's.
You complain much, with good reason,
cf the scarcity and insufficiency of farm
laborers; but how do you propose to
remedy the evil? Certainly not by trudg
ing on in the same old way and making
yourself more and more dependent upon
unreliable labor. Relief is in full view if
you will but see it. There is a wonderful
amount of improved farm machinery that
will take the place of many laborers.
One man can now cultivate more land
than five men could twenty years ago.
Beside you have the intensive system of
farming and don’t need one-teuth of tho
.land you did the old way. Science has
made you master of the situation if you
only knew it. If you wiil read we will
tell you all about it during this year.
Poor Land.
There are thousands of aores of land
cultivated in Georgia and Florida so poor
that they will not pay for the labor. Do
not do it. What is the use of throwing
away your labor ? Better to work for
somebody else on better land. If you
cannot enrich your poor land sell it out
for what you can get and purchase better
even if vou have to move. But there are
few localities that will not afford mate
rials tor enriching the land, and that is a
poor farmer indeed who can devise no
method ot improving the land that must
yield his support. The farm horse begins
the good work of emiching the farm; then
comes the two or three milk cows, some
pigs, and a few sheep might be addl'd with
great advantage. Then there are bogs
and inuck reservoirs close by and leaves
in the forest. No laud is so poor as not to
•‘sprout eowpeas,” and these can be sown
and plowed in; while the markets teem
with commercial fertilizers.
City vk. Farm Life.
Discoursing on this subject Mr. John
M. Stahl has supplied us with at least au
hundred good texts for forcible comment,
and as there is a sort of epidemic in the
country for change to the cities, we copy
the following as rendered by Prof. Stelle:
Taken as a whole, farm life is more fa
vorable to the mental giowth than city
life. City life makes people superficial.
Oi a large majority of the city people, the
daily paper constitutes the whole comae
of reading. It is the testimony of lec
turers and pulpit orators that their most
thoughtful and severely critical audiences
are found in the country. A vast majority
of our statesmen, scholars and philoso
phers have come from the country.
Farming, then, appeals most strongly
to man’s nature; most strongly to his de
sire tor independence; most strongly to
his desire to grow mentally; and justly it
does not appal him by its isolation; if he,
therefore, has any solid excuse lor desir
ing to leave the farm, it must be because
the city offers better advantages lor raont .v
getting.
But is the city the better place for the
acquisition of \vealth ? Mr. Stahl does not
deny that there are discouragements and
losses in farming; he has had too much
painfultexperlenee with flood and drought,
hog plague, chtneh bugs, cut warms,
blight, etc., to make such a denial. Yet
be has never known a man who would
rtll land, who would work upon a farm,
whether his own or uot, who suffered from
cold or hunger. In spite of misfortunes,
the farmer who works, and works intolli
gently, can make a good living for himself
and family and something beside for a
rainy day. There are bad seasons: but
what bad season ever bankrupted the
careful, industrious farmer!' How often
do you find a fanner’s name oaths records
of a court of bankruptcy ? It is true that
farmers do not build up millions upon
millions; but neither do they lose their all
In a day. The farmer who tries can have
enough for him and his to eat and wear, a
sheltering,pleasant homo tor them, a good
education for his children aud a compe
tence tor his old age.
Not one city laborer in twenty ever be
comes his own employer, and not one
business enterprise in the city out of ten
is a success. Is this encouraging? When
men who have been educated in the city
and in its business, who are shrewd, am
bitious and good judges of human nature,
fail of success in nine enterprises out of
ten. can the farmer who is unacquainted
with the city, its ways and its business,
who has uot learned to correctly judge
human character, expect to improve bis
financial condition by leaving ltis farm?
II is observation, which is not exceptional,
would make him answer, earnestly anil
positively, No. He has known quite a
number of farmers to sell their farms and
move to the city to engage in business
there, and without exception they have
failed, and come, poor and broken-hearted,
to rent of some old neighbor.
Southern Truck Farming.
The immense growth of American cities,
says tho J'ost Jiispatch, and the extension
of rapid transportation facilities to all
sections of our wonderfully diversified
country are producing some very inter
esting agricultural revolutions that prom
ise to make us a nation of the most luxu
rious feeders the world ever saw. Already
the thrifty artizans ol our cities can com
mand for their tables all the year round a
variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish,
; game and other edibles, such as money
can but rarely buy for the wealthiest
classes of Europe. And we are only just
beginning to realize how abundant out
resources in that respect, and how easily
and cheaply we can place the enjoyment
of them within the reach of the humblest
citizen.
The small area of each nationality in
the Old World, together with interna
tional restrictions upon trade, compels
each to subsist mainly upon its own nat
urally limited productions, while our free
and rapid intercourse, “without change
of cars,” from sea to sea, and l’tom North
to the orange and banana plantations of
the South, makes us everywhere, to a
great extent, independent of the local
soil and climate. Cheap Northern ice
cools the Southern man’s drink in sum
mer, and while the Northern man is cut
ting that ice in midwinter he can have
green cucumbers and tresh lettuce and
radishes from the Souih at his dinner.
Brief as the strawberry harvest is in any
locality, the supply in St. Louis is almost
perennial, because, when late In the year
it has ceased to come to us from points
further aud further North it begins to
come again from the far South, and con
tinues to come trom points nearer and
nearer until our home crop is ripe again.
And so it is with such a variety or arti
cles of comfort, necessity or luxury that
we are building up a novel system of ex
changes greatly conducive to better living
and industrial prosperity.
Many things are now in common use by
persons who never saw them growing and
but a few years ago had only heard of
them. The people of eaeh section cheaply
share the good things of all the others.
Knowing the ready market there is for
such things, Northern men are buying the
previously unoccupied lands of Florida,
and wonderful stories are told of the prof
its on their crops of early vegetables and
their orange, lemon aud banana planta
tions. Eight years ago a Georgia planter
was doing 6uch a poor business raising
cotton that he valued his s,OOO acres at
so,ooo. He quit cotton and begau to cul
tivate cucumbers, peas, tomatoes and
melons. He soon found a fractional part 1
ol his laud yielding a good return on a
valuation of $40,0(>0. In the same county i
3,500 acres are now devoted to melons ,
alone, and these ard other lands devoted '
to truck farming clear from *SO to *8 0 per I
acre, and are found to be great ly improved !
lor raisingoccasional crops of cotton much i
larger than they formerly produced. It !
is found that cotton and other valuable j
crops can be gathered from the same land
after the crop of early vegetables has been ,
marketed. The Georgia melon crop now ,
brings f 1,503,000 a year into the State.
Land formerly unproductive now yields
immense profits on peaches, and people
who formerly did not know the ta9te of
good butter are now supplied with plenty
of the best, fresh from Northern creatre
riel-. One man has found a perfect bo
nanza in 120 acres ot strawberries in Ten
nessee, and almost anywhere on a South
ern railroad a crop of early potatoes,
which does not interfere at all with other
crops, brings the larmer more than the
land would sell for.
As yet the Southern railroads have not
met the full requirements of this business,
nor have the middlemen generally ‘"got
the hang of it.” The Southern "peach
growers say that a vast quantity of" fruit
is lost for want of proper care and fast
trains to hurry it to market. But as we
have specially provided milk and egg
trains "in some parts cf the North, deliv
ering dairy products at a distance fresh
as from the dairy itself, it is probable
that the importance of the Southern truck
trade will soon provide it with the needed
equipment. The cooks of that French
King who was good enough to desire a
fowl in the daily dinner pot of every
French peasant, would have envied the
present table supplies of tbe commonest
people of our cities. But there is a time
coming when the means of living- in this
country will be far better and cheaper
than man has ever seen or dreamed of
since he was ejected from the Garden of
Eden.
FVM AND STOCK NOTES.
It is not necessary for farmers to em
ploy a professional vineyardist to prone
their vines.
Salt Is beneficial to most crops and one
oi tbe very best ways of applying it is to
incorporate it with the manure used as a
top dressing.
Most people choose fruit by the eye
more than by the palate. Ttiis is why the
most productive aid showy sorts are prof
itable to the growers.
Nearly all of the best families of Jer
seys are closely in-bred, by which means
the best qualities have been perpetuated.
It is a remarkable iact in breeding that
although in-breeding, unless judiciously
done, occasions a loss of vigor, yet the
most important traits and eharacteristics
are more strongly rendered inherent than
by the out-cross method.
For quality, the Polled Angus; for early
maturity and size, the Shorthorn; for grass
beef, tbe Hereford; for general utility, the
Devon; for butter, the Jersey; for milk,
the Heist* in; for cheese, the* Ayrshire;
for cold, thy Galloway; for heat, the
Brahm i.ai ! lor starvation, the Texas.
This is the way it was put by an old
dealer ar.d breeder to the Texas Live Stock
Journal.
You’ g turkeys require great attention
up to the age of six weeks. A person of
experience might not lose more than four
or live out of fifty in a favorable season.
No hard grain should be fed until they are
five or six weeks old. Bread and milk,
vVith bard boiled eggs, should betel at
first. Afterward the curd from clabbered
mi’l; is one of the best things for them,
nl: t:e or mixed with ground oats. Scalded
milk can be used for u change.
A good wash for roofs and buildings is
; s follows: Slake lime in a close box to
prevent the escape of steam, and when
slaked pass it through a sieve. To every
six quarts of this lime suld one quart of
rock salt and one gallon of water. Alter
this boil and skim clean. To every five
gallons of this add, by slow degrees,
tnree-quarters of a pound of potash aud
four quarts of fine Baud. Coloring mat
ter may be added if desired. Apply with
a paint or whitewash brush.
A British paper speaks of a revolving
fork attachment to ordinary single-furrow
plows, by which soil can be plowed and
prepared for seed by once going over it.
The additional piece of mecLanism adds
no appreciable weight to the draft of the
plow. At the Royal Agricultural Society
Show the Judges were so pleased with its
work in breaking up ridges that they gave
it a high commendation. A pulverizing
attachment for a breaking plow has lately
been patented in this country.
The new breed of fowls, heretofore
Known as the American Sebrights, are to
be called the Wyandottes, that name hav
ing been selected for them at the last
meeting of the American Poultry Asso
ciation. The former name confounded
them with the diminutive Sebright Ban
tams; but the Wyandottes are a large
brood, v. ith spangled plumage, rose combs,
yellow legs and heavy, compact bodies.
They are good layers, excellent mothers
and rival the Plymouth Hocks as market
fowls.
The Bronze is the largest of the turkey
family, many of them weighing so far in
excess of our ordinary turkey as to bear
no comparison in regard to value of car
cass or profit to those who keep them. As
one gobbler is sufficient for almost any
number of hens desired, the cost of im
proving with the large Bronze is not
great, considering its advantages. Pairs
of these turkeys reach fifty pounds and
over at times, and the cross between it
and the common turkey makes a superior
market fowl.
All vegetable substances are composed
ot 95 per cent, of the four organic ele
ments, the other 5 per cent, being fur
nished by the mineral. Of the ten min
eral elements that compose the other 5
per cent, of plants, six are found in nearly
all soils in sufficient quantities for the
supply ot the plant, but the soil is defi
cient in the other four, viz.: phosphorus,
potash, lime and soda. These four ele
ments, joined with any substance con
taining nitrogen, are necessary to make
a good manure in order to supply the soil
with the lacking elements.
Among all the products in our country
tho meat product stands foremost, the
the order being: (1) Meats, (2) corn, (3)
wheat, (4) hay, (5) dairy products, (6)
cotton. The exports and consumption
are enormous, and have never been
equaled by any nation. About 50,500 000
animals were killed in this country dur
ing 1880, ami their value ns meat was
*084,000,000. Hides, horns, tallow, fats,
glue, bristles, etc., bring their total value
up to $800,000,000. The exports of fresh
beef during the fiscal year’ending June
30,1884, ifrere valued at ’ $18,431,131. The
exports of fresh beef have exceeded those
of any previous year, but canned meats
are less in request.
Those who prefer to have the finest fin
ish on their harness after it is oiled can
have it by following these directions:
After you have saturated the leather
with as much oil as it will readily ab
sorb, sponge off the harness with a thick
lather made of castile soap, and when
dry follow in the same manner with a so
lution ol'rum tragaoanth, of which take
half in cuuce, aud boll down with two
quarts ot water to three half pints. While
boiling stir the contents freely, as the
gum is apt to set to the bottom of the ves
sel in which it is boiled; and when nearly
or quite cool lay it en quite thinly, for if
lain on too thick it is apt to crack and
piove quite unsatisfactory.
Never set ironware in the sink or on the
work table while cleaning it, nor yet on
the stove, thus scorching your hands and
face while scraping out. Even if you
wash these things iu an outside kitchen,
do not set them on benches or tables there.
It is untidy and makes a great deal of
disagreeable and needless cleaning. Keep
large squares of thick pasteboard hung
convenient to slip under pots, kettles,
stew dishes and spiders whenever you
have occasion to set them down. You
have uo idea how much “crocking’’ of
benches and tables it will save. Cut a
small hole near one corner ol the square
to hang it up by, and when too much
blackened, burn up and replace with new.
Or the pasteboards may be covered with
oilcloth, in which case they can be washed
at pleasure and used to an indefinite
length of time.
The Denver Lite Stock Hecord gives tbe
following information about alialfa: "ow
25 pounds to the acre aud no more. Do
not sow any other seed with it. The plant
to get rooted needs the sunshine and
warmth to assist it. The shade of oats or
other grain detracts from it. It will yield
but light crop the first year, but should be
cut all the same. Cutting it induces the
plant to stool out. In Colorado we sow it
anywhere between the 25th of April and
the 10th of May. In Kansas it will do ten
or fitteen days earlier. The earth needs
to be thoroughly warm betoro the seed is
east on it. It is quite important to plow
deep—from 10 to 11 inches. This allows
the roots to go down quickly, before they
are dried out. Our farmers as a rul: sow
broadcast and barrow in. The plant is
delicate while starting, but after the first
vear can scarcely be killed out. Sod lad
will do, if properly prepared.”
It has been discovered that the yelks of
eggs make a more delicious decoration for
cakes than the whites. This is not only
in the line of the new color craze, but it
is more healthful. Many persons cannot
eat the pure aibumen contained in whites
of eggs, while the yelks are wholesome,
if not cooked too much or too little. Pro
ceed exactly as for ordinary frosting. It
will harden just as nicely as that does.
This is particularly good for orange cake,
harmonizing with the color of the cake in
a way to delight the soul of the esthetic.
HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
Boston Pudding.—One cup of chopped
suet, one cup ol raisin 9,9 toned and
chopped, one cup of sweet milK, four cups
of flour, one cup of molasses, one tea
spoonful of salt and one of soda; steam
for three hours.
C ustakd Pie.—Beat three eggs slightly,
add tone tablespoonfuls of sugar, one
saltspoonful of salt and one saltspoonful
of nutmeg, if liked. Pour n three cups
of scalded milk; strain into a deep plate,
lined with paste. Bake slowly, and the
moment it puffs and a knife-blade conies
out clean it is done.
Lemon and Cream Pie.—To one glass
or cup oi milk allow one tablespoonful of
corn starch, the yelks of three eggs, one
cup of sugar, tne juice and grated rind of
a lemon, or after grating the lemon peel,
chop the rest of the lemon quite fine; the
whites ol the eggs should be beaten stiff
and added to the rest just before putting
it in the oven. Bake in one crust.
Orange Souffle. — I Take one-quarter
pound oi sifted loaf sugar, half a pound
of flour, half a pound ot frtsh butter, the
yelks of six eggs and one tablespoonful
of orange juice. Beat up all these Ingre
dients well together until they are very
smooth, then beat the whites ot the eegs
to a still’ froth and add them to the rest.
Pour all into a dish, but take care not to
lilt it, and bake in a moderate oven.
Potato Salad.—Boil six or eight po
tatoes, and when cold cut them in very
thin slices; a talad bowl must then be
rubbed with half a clove of garlic; some
finely chopped chervil or oarsley strewn
over the potatoes in the bowl, and pepper,
salt, oil and vineghr poured over the whole
and well stirred: the quality of oil should
be in the proportion of one tablespoonful
to less than a tablespoonful ol white
French vinegar.
Dumplings for Chicken Potpie op.
Soups.—One cup of buttermilk, one tea
spoonful ot soda and a pinch of salt,
thiokened with flour, moulded, cut and
placed in a tin as for baking. Then place

thickness inside a stezmer; upon this
place the tin of biscuits and steam 20 or
25 minutes over tb* kettleot soup. When
served the dumplings can be placed In the
soup or potpie, and they will not fall, as
so many boiled dumplings persist in do
ing.
Isle of Wight Pudding.—Chop four
ounces ot apple, the same quantity of
bread crumbs, suet i*nd currants, well
washed and picked, two ounces candied
lemon, orange and citron, chopped fine,
five ounces pounded loaf sugar and half a
nutmeg grated. Mix all together with
four eggs. Butter well and flour a tin,
put in the mixture aud place a buttered
paper on the top and a cloth over the pa
per. If you steam it the paper is suffi
cient. It willtaketwohoursboiling. Serve

butter with one cup of sugsr; add
half at, aspoonful of salt, one tea
spoonful of mixed spice and six well
beaten eggs. Stir it all into the milk and
add one pound of the best raisins. Bake
in a deep pudding dish, well greased with
cold butter. Bake very slowly in a mod
erate oven three or four houis. Stir sev
eral times during tbe tirst hoar to keep
tbe raisins from settling. Make half of
this receipt and steam it in a pudding
mould. Butter the mould and line it with
macaroons.
It is important, says a recent writer,
to look well to the adulteration of spices.
Mustard is adulterated with sulphate of
lime, naphtbaliue yellow and dark flour.
Black pepper is reduced with charcoal,
buckwheat chaff, mustard bean, ground
cocoanut and dried potatoes. Cayenne
pepper with corn meal colored with Ve
netian red; allspice or pimento with cocoa
shells; cloves with clove stems and cocoa
shells; mace with corn meal; cinnamon
and cassia with ground crackers, stale
bread and biscuits, baked and ground;
ginger with corn meal, cayenne pepper
and tumeric. Cream of tartar is adul
terated with terra alba and corn flour.
To know that cream ol tartar is pure take
a half teaspoonful of it and put it in a
tumbler with hot water. If pure it will
all dissolve without sediment.
HITS OF SCIENCE.
Sharks have eyelids; whales have none.
Wet winteis have been found to result
disastrously to insects.
The grasshopper develops from the
youug larva to the winged udult without
changing its inode of life.
It is a curious fact that tbe looms used
in the manufacture of silk in New Jersey
are almost fae-similes of those employed
for tho same purpose in India and China.
England’s death-rate has decreased dur
ing the present century from forty in a
thousand to twenty in a thousand." This
is attributed to the progress of sanitary
science.
In London an electric light has been
used to illuminate the interior of an oven.
The door was of plate glass, and every
part ot the process of baking could be
distinctly seen.
A member of the London Meteorologi
cal Society has invented an instrument
called the anemograph, which is operated
by electricity and k(*ps a record on pa
per of the direction and velocity of the
wind.
Mr. F. Day has discovered in artificial
breeding among the Salmonida 1 that,
while all the hybrids between the salmon ]
and the trout had proved sterile, the
crosses between the salmon and the chars
had proved fertile.
Discussing the manufacture of bone
dust, Prof. J. Konig shows that when
bones, previous to grinding, are freed from
fats by treatment with benzol they are
purified from ingredients which have no
agricultural value.
While our country is supposed to be
nearly free trom earthquakes no less than
364 shocks were recorded in the United
States and Canada in the twelve years
ending with 1883. This is an average of
about oue in every twelve days.
A French investigator has found that
chloroform Is decomposed in trom two to
five days by the combined action of sun
light and tbe air. In the dark the air
does not affect it, and light produces no
alteration when all oxygen is excluded.
Sir Henry Bessemer lias announced that,
by the use of a very pure charcoal pig-iron
and its treatment ’ by a special method, a
Bessemer steel is produced which on anal
ysis is found equal in purity to the high
est brands ot steel made from blistered
bare.
“Cyanide of potassium” will remove all
indelible ink whose base is nitrate of sil
ver. Being a deadly poison, it will be
hard to get from the druggists in most
citfbs. Turpentine or alcohol, rubbed in
hot, removes the new inks, using soda and
! soap freely in hot water atterwurd.
By adding two parts ot cream of tartar
to one part ot oxalic acid, ground fine and
kept dry in a bottle, you will lied, by ap
plying a little of the powder to rust stains
while the article is wet, that the result is
much quicker and better. Wash out in
clear warm water to prevent injury to the
goods.
A mountain explorer just returned from
Asia states that during a four months’ I
residence at a height of more than 15,000
feet above tbe sea his pulse, normally 63
beats per minute, seldom fell below 100
beats per minute, and his respirations
were often twice as numerous as at ordi
nary levels.
Tracing paper may be made by immers
ing best tissue paper in a bath composed
of turpentine and bleached beeswax. A
piece of beeswax an inch in diameter,
dissolved in half a pint ot turpentine, is
said to give good results. The papar
should be allowed to dry for three days
before it is used.
Au English chemist has confirmed by
analysis the ojiinion that the lack of mal
leability in heated iron—or "red short
ness,” as it is called—is due to tbe pres
ence of oxygen. A red-short specimen
contained 1.384 per cent, of oxygen, while
samples free from the delect had only 0.750
per cent, or less.
Before the Linneuu .Society, of London,
Mr. A. Taylor has sought to prove that
plants have a dim sort of intelligence,
aud are able, at least, to exert as volun
tary power Jas certain lowly-organ
izeclj animals. One proof of this is tbe
plant’s avoidance of obstacles—placed
artificially in their wav—by bending aside
before touching.

RHEUMATISM.
Although a practitioner of near twenty
years, my mother iuiluenced me to procure IJ.
B. B. for her. She had been confined to her
bed several months with Rheumatism, which
had stubbornly resisted all the usual remedies.
Within twenty-four hour3 after commencing
B. B. B. I observed marked relief. She has
just commenced her third bottle and is nearly
as active as ever, and has been in the front
yard with "rake in hand,” cleaning up. Her
improvementis truly wonderful and immense

KIDNEY TROUBLE,
For over six years I have been a terrible suf

for the relief of which I have spent over $250
without benefit; the most noted so-called

single bottle of B. B. B. has been marvelous,
giving more relief than all other treatment
combined. It i3 a quick cure, while others, if
they cure at all, are in tbe distant future.

By reason of her peculiar relations, aud her

to suffer not only her own ills, but those arising
from want of knowledge, or of consideration
on the part of those with whom she stand*
connected in the social organization. Tha
frequent and distressing irregularities pecu
liar to her sex have thus been aggravated to
a degree which no language can express. In
the mansions ot the rich aud the hover or the
poor alike, woman has boon the patient victim
of ills unknown to man. and which none but
she could endure—and without a remedy.
But now the hour of her redemption has
come. She need not suffer longer, when she
can find relief in Hr. J. Bradfleld’s l ow ALB
Regulator, “Woman’s Best Friend.”
SCIENCE TRIUMPHS!
An Atlanta gentleman writes: “My wife
having used your Female Regulator during
her final crisis, advised it to a friend of her*
who for years had been a suffering vi -.tun o
suppressed menstruation, had exhausted tha
skill of her local physicians and a distinguished
Atlanta doctor without relief, and who had
declared her in rapid decline. Less thou ae
bottle, as I know, effected a permanent oar*.
This young woman has since married aud be
come a mother.”
