My oars keep time to half a rhyme,
That slip* and slides away from me;
Across my mind, like idle wind,
A lost thought beateth lazily.
A dream, afloat, mv little boat
And I alone steal out to sea :
One vanished year, O Lost and
Von rowed this little boat for me.
Ah ! who can sing of anything
With none to listen lovingly ?'
Or who can time the oars to rhyme
When left to row alone to sea ?

THE BROKEN PRIMROSES.
A Highland Story.
Among all the flowers that make the
country beautiful, I think none have
such a tender place in memory as the
primrose. Who ever passed the months
of spring in the country, in childhood,
who cannot recall how joyously the first
appearance of the favorite was hailed,
and its opening watched as its delicate
buds peeped from amongst the thick
green leayes under the shade of a briar
bush, or around the roots of a wide
branching ash tree, or on the tiny shelves
of the hoary rook ?
To see even a bunch of artificial prim
roses on a pretty young lady’s bonnet
seem to me to give a touch of poetry to
the wearer ; whilst to see them worn by
a matron about to enter into the sere
and yellow leaf period looks like the
ripe months of September or October
wearing the livery of spring. They
seem more in keeping even on the sil
very locks of old age; for an early
primrose may blossom on the brown of
winter. But cur story.
The laird of a certain Highland
estate, which we call Achaueilean, was
early left fatherless, but was carefully
trained by a very wise, although a
doting mother. Sir Evan was a fine,
high-spirited young man, who gave her
thejverv highest satisfaction in all things,
excepting in the wandering habits he
had early formed. He would often
dress himself in the strangest disguises
and mingle with his tenants, taking a
leading share in their games and pas
times. His mother, knowing his high
and honorable nature, was never afraid
of his doing anything wrong, at such
times, but she thought his conduct un
dignified ; so, as she could not win him
from his strange habit, she tried to in
fluence him to get married. With this
object in view she gathered around her.
both in London and at home, all the
young ladies she most admired; but
her efforts seemed in vain. Sir Evan
was courteous and attentive to all her
guests, but he was still fancy free ; and
she lowed him too tenderly to wish to
see him married without a sincere at
tachment. She knew the requirements
of his nature, and understood, therefor,
that a loveless marriage would only drive
him farther into the wandering habits
from which she wished him weanetT.
When Sir Evan was in his twenty
fifth year, he went to a distant part of
his estate, which he had never visited
before ; and, hearing there was to be a
wedding, he went to it in disguise as a
minstrel. He wore a tattered old tar
tan coat, and carried his fiddle over his
shoulder in a green baize bag, whilst his
fair skin was stained to appear like a
gipsy’s.
Ii was toward the latter mid of spring
—a clear, beautiful afternoon—and by
the riverside the voting people were
gaylv dancing, whilst an old white
haired man, with palsied hand, was try
ing nis best to give them music.
The young man drew near and bow
ing to the company, he drew his old
bonnet over his brow, and began to
play.
The dancers were delighted, for they
had never listened to such strains be
fore ; and the old fiddler, trembling
for fear of losing the reward he expect
ed, went to the young minstrel in the
first pause of the music, and proposed
that whatever was paid to either of
them would be equally divided with the
other. The young man laughingly as
sented, and when the best man came to
offer him a glass of something to drink,
he refused it; but said, as it was getting
cold, if the old man would play them a
spring, he would be glad to be allowed
to dance a reel.
Permission was at ence given, and
the minstrel asked for his partner a
pretty g*ay-eyed, modest looking maid
en, whose graceful movements he had
watched in the dance. She readily
gave him her hand, and such dancing
was seldom seen by those present.
When he led her back to her friends,
he offered her a few primroses from a
small bouquet he had gathered by the
river side, and turning to another fair
girl, he offered her the remainder of the
flowers, and begged her hand for the
next dance. She tossed her head indig
nantly, and her looks said plainly, “Do
you think I would dance with a gipsy 7”
She had taken the flowers out of his
hand, but she broke them, and cast
them away, saying suddenly, “I don’t
care for flowers, and I’m not going to
dance with you, thank you.”
The young man turned away hastily,
and the maiden who had danced with
him said to her companion, “How
could you wound the young man’s feel
ings so ? What harm could it do you
to danee with him ? And oh ! the dear
primroses; the first I have seen this
year ; see, you have broken them and
Ellen bow'fed down and gathered the
scattered flowers, and carefully placing
them among those given herself, fixed
them in her belt.
“ How could you ratiier dance with a
fellow like that—likely one of the gang
of tinkers that passed yesterday ? And
will you really wear the flowers he
gave T' replied the maiden with a scorn
ful sneer.
“ I wear the flowers for their own
sakes. How could you break them—the
beauties?” replied Ellen, caressing the
bouquet with a tender touch ; “as for
dancing with the young man, I am sure
I am quite ready to do so again were it
only for his delightful music.”
Margaret drew herself away in digni
fied silence. She was quite horrified at
the conduct of Ellen; and the young
man, who was hovering near, and watch
ing the maidens, again offered his hand
to Ellen; and, anxious to heal the
wound her companion had given, she
danced with him gladly. He saw she
was enraptured with his musie, and he
was delighted when, at the close of the
festival, she asked him to proceed to
her father’s house, where she wished to
hear again his sweet strains. She had
an old piano—not a very good one, but
nevertheless one that gave her pleasure;
and she wished to try some of the tunes
he had played to the dancers. Ellen’s
sisters were very much afraid sli9 had
compromised the familv dignity by
dancing with this strotter and they
grumbled about her asking him to their
home so late in the evening. He went
however ; and after Ellen “and himself
had discoursed music for a considerable
length of time, to the delight of the old
folks, who were rather proud of Ellen’s
musical taste, he rose to leave.
They offered him a bed in the barn,
but he said he had to be miles away
before daylight; so Ellen gave him a
piece of money and stuffed his pockets
with bread and beef Mid ala rge piece of
cheese, at the same time begging of
him if ho ever cimio that way again to
give Miem the pleasure of listening to
his minstrelsy.
Sir Evan returned h> his own castle,
but he could not banisli the image of
the gentle Ellen from his heart. Wh< n
he slept or woke he always paw h*-. r as
she stood fixing the broke- a primrose*
in her belt—looking m sweet, skJ pretty
in her white dress and bine ribbon* and
her rippling brown hair tossed both by
the evening breeze and by the daneW
and at length, -when her mother rnew*
ed her attaeka upon him about
*** her ot the maiden h!
had learned to love so well.
The lady was dumbfounded. Was her
darling son, the pride of her heart, to
wed a nameless, humble bride. But
as she pondered the matter over she be
came more reconciled to it If he loved
this maiden his happiness was concern
ed ; and what was his true happiness
was hers. So after a short silence, that
almost seemed years, she raised her
head and asked Sir Evan if be had
caused to think the maiden returned his
love?
“IdarAnot say she does, mother,”
he replied ; “yet, I think she thought
tenderly of the strolling musician. I
think there was a sigh of regret for his
not being the son of a neighbor farmer.
I oonld read that in her dark gray eyes,
even when she was not the least con
scious of it herself.”
“God bless you, my dear son,” re
plied the good lady, with a tremor in
her voice, “ God bless you, indeed ; so
amiable a maiden must prove a sweet
companion ; and she must be in a meas
ure accomplished, according to yonr
statement; and if it is for your hap
piness, I am reconciled.
The young man kissed his mother’s
hand with tenderness and gratitude ;
and he went at once to order out his
carriage for the interesting journey.
He dressed with great care and a finer
looking man could seldom be seen.
His wfdl-knit limbs were lithe and
hardy-looking, and showed the nimble
huntsman or the brave soldier, as occa
sion might demand. His dark, hazel
eye was beautiful, and his curling hair
of the very sunniest shade of brown.
His bushy whiskers were auburn, and
the habit of command gave a dignity
to his presence that heightened the
charm of the whole.
Ellen’s father saw the carriage ap
proach his house in great surprise, for
he knew the great yellow carriage,
though he had not seen it for years.
He went, bonnet in hand, to meet the
laird, whilst his good wife hastily got
on her best cap, and looked to her
whisky bottle and her bread and cheese,
in case he might alight to rest his
horses and get some refreshments, as
she had seen his excellent father do.
Sir Evan leaped from the carriage,
and gaily entered the old house as if he
hrd been an acquaintance for years, to
the great delight of the good farmer
and his wife. He partook of a glass of
rich cream and a piece of delicious oat
cake, and then asked to see their fam
dy. They came one by one, tall, blush
ing girls, and stout, healthy looking,
awkward lads—all but Ellen ; and Sir
Evan asked if these were all.
“We have one other daughter, one
second eldest, but she is busy with
some household duties, and unfit to
come in your presence ; so we hope you
will excuse her, Sir Evan,” said the
mother gravely.
“ Show me where to find her then,
and I will go to her.” said Sir Evan,
with a strange quiver of lip and voice.
The mother was about to call the
daughter, when one of the boys, hastily
opening the door, pointed to the room
where Ellen was busily taking off the
butter from the churn. She was ar
rayed in a plain gray linen dress, clean
and neat, and the curls that had hung
so prettily about her neck and face at
the wedding, were fastened back with a
piece of bright blue ribbon ; but the
drooping, tall, lily-like figure and the
modest grey eyes were the same, and
the expression that he thought so an
gelic when she gathered the broken
primroses was still the same also ; in
deed, as he gazed upon her, he thought
her more beautiful than ever. She
looked bewildered at the fair face of the
young man, and he took her hand, say
ing : “I have accepted your invitation,
Ellen. You see I have returned, though
in good sooth your eyes would speak a
warmer welcome if I had come with my
tattered coat and my fiddle.”
Ellen stood speechless in astonish
ment, for she saw, indeed, he was no
other than the strolling musician, for
that hazel eye had left a tender regret
in Ellen’s heart for which she had often
chided herself ; and as it flashed across
her mind who he was, and how he had
stuffed his pocket with bread and beef,
she fell on her knees, crying, “Forgive
me, sir ; oh, forgive me ; I knew not, in
deed, you were any other than what you
seemed. ”
“ Forgive you, Ellen ! Yes, my fair
girl, yon have more need of forgiveness
than you think, for yon have stolen my
peace of mind away. Will you restore
it to me ? Will you be my partner now
again—for all my life long ? He
raised her from the floor as he
spoke, and drew her tenderly towards
him, and she laid her face upon his
bosom and wept tears of Hie purest joy
and gladness, as, amidst his caresses,
she promised to be his through life.
Ere he led her back to get a blessing
from her parents, he took from his
bosom a bouquet of the latest primroses
of the year, and fixed them on her
breast, whispering, “These flowers
must always be sacred to ns, for it was
when you were gathering those of mine,
so rudely broken and scattered by an
ungentle hand, that my soul went out
to you in the fullness of its first affec
tion.”
So Ellen became the wife of Sir
Evan; and through life proved herself
a true wife, a loving mother, and bene
factress to the poor and lowly.
Alexander Dumas, Father and Son.
A fellow author and friend, desiring
to be agreeable to the son, wrote what
be considered a handsome panegyric on
the elder, and, to his surprise, Dumas
the younger did not think he had done
justice to the subject. Were he told
that the elder Dumas was the Shaks
peare of the nineteenth century it is
probable that Le would not question the
justice of such an opinion.
His admiration of his father’s gifts
did not prevent him from seeing the
grotesque side to his character. On
one occasion he said: “My father is
so filled with vanity that he is capable
of getting up behind his carriage to
make the people believe he has a ne
gro.”
At a dinner of men of letters some
one gave an account of a series of
humorous subterfuges by which a debtor
eluded a creditor, the character of the
debtor being highly colored, at which
Dumas, jr., laughed heartily, when a
neighbor told him that the person de
scribed was his father. “ Impossible,”
answered the son, “or he would have
put it in his ‘ Memoirs. ’ ”
The elder had a singular wav of
judging of genius, illustrated one morn
ing, when he sought in vain for a pair
of boots, with the remark : “ Figurez
voua qu’ Alexander en a douze peire,
etalees sur une pkmche de sa garde
robe. Ce-garcon-la, n’aura jamats de
genie !”
Asa further illustration of the rela
tions between father and son, it is told
that the latter, when a student in the
Latin quarter, desired to make a good
ref ast with a companion, hut found on
consulting his pume that it contained
only five francs. “Wait,” said he to
his companion, “ while I run up stairs
and borrow five more from my father,
and on the ten we shall dine like
princes.”
“ Well,” said the waiting man on his
return, “have you got the ten ?”
“ I haven’t even the first five,” an
swered he ruefully; “father is better
at borrowing than I.”— The Galaxy.

AGRICULTURE.
PRUNING.
The subject of pruning trees and vines
of all kinds, the mode, and the time,
and the amount of pruning to be done,
is receiving much attention from pomol
ogists. As might be expected from the
various experience or theories of ob
servers, and the stand-point from which
they draw their conclusions, there is
muoh diversity of opinion, some con
demning it altogether, and others advo
cating the free use of the knife. These
discrepancies are more apparent than
real, if we keep in mind the true and
ultimate object of pruning, and the
effect we wish to produce.
It may safely be asserted as a general
principle in vegetable physiology, that
all pruning is more or less injurious to
the well being of the living plant.
In a state of nature, or when a tree
or vine is left to itself, there is a gradual
adjustment and equilibrium established
between the roots and branches. There
are roots enough to absorb and carry
up the nutritive fluid, and there are
branches, with their leaves, enough to
work it up and assimilate the nutrition.
When this equilibrium is disturbed,
injury, disease, or death follows. The
degree of injury will depend upon cir
cumstances, such as the amount of
pruning, the time when it is done, and
the constitution and habits of the par
ticular plant. Some bear pruning better
than others, and in winter better than
in summer.
We may take a lesson from the man
ner in which nature does her pruning.
It is always a sure and safe process.
Take a young tree, a pine, for example.
There are a number of small laterals.
As the tree grows upwards and the
trunk enlarges, the sap has a tendency
to pass on to the upper portion : these
laterals begin to lose their vitality, and
at length to die out and fall to the
ground. In the old tree there is not
even a trace left of these primary
branches, and their very scars are
obliterated.
Yery diflerent is the effect when, by
artificial means, a vigorous, healthy
limb is lopped off. The equilibrium
between roots and branches is suddenly
destroyed, and the plant receives a shock
to its system, which impairs vitality to
some extent.
Butin all kinds of cultivation, whether
for ornament or for fruit, we find it
better to sacrifice somewhat the health
or longevity of the plant for some other
advantage to be gained, of greater
value. We prune our fruit trees and
grape vines to keep them within bounds
and give them shape better to resist the
effect of a too hot sun, or high winds,
and also by reducing the amount of
woody growth, to obtain better fruit. So
also of hedges, or other atificial shapes
we may desire to produce. A hedge
is a collection of stnnted, half starved
ill conditioned individuals, bnt when
taken as a whole, its general effect
(which is the thinpr sought after) is use
ful or pleasing. Whatever may be the
chief object in cultivation, whether it
be the perfection of fruit or flowers, or
usefulness as a hedge, or a ornamental
shape, we seek that, and not the longev
ity of the plant. If the plant could not
furnish these requisites, it would not be
worth the cultivation at all. Tilts true
end and aim of all pruning, therefore,
is to do just so much of it and no more,
as will give the best results, with the
least injury. And this must be ascer
tained by practical observation and ex
perience.
The above remarks are, of course, in
tended to apply to such things as are
growing and fixed permanently for life.
In transplanting it is necessary to prune.
No matter how carefully a tree may be
taken up, the roots are injured more or
less, according to the care used.
In proportion as the roots are lessen
ed, so must we lessen the branches.
Even in transplanting small things from
the nursery bed when all the roots can
be oured, it requires time for the ab
sorbing functions to commence their
supply of fluid, and so it is best always
to pinch off a portion of the leaves, and
thus restore the eqnilibrinm.— H. W.
Ravenel, in Rural Carolinian.
THE PRACTICAL MAN AND THE THEORIST.
“ That looks very pretty and plausi
ble on paper,” farmer Jones remarks,
as he lays down his agricultural journ
ual, after reading one of Professor
Brown’s well written articles of rotation
of crops. “It looks well, and I’d like
to see the professor try to carry out his
ideas on the cotton plantation. I reck
on he’d find out the difference between
theory and practice.” Well, suppose
Professor Brown should attempt to
carry out his ideas in the field, and
should make a failure? Would that
prove his theory false ? By no means.
It takes something more than correct
theory to make a crop—good general
management and an experimental
knowledge of the details of field
work. Perhaps farmer Jones him
self, working on the same plan,
would attain the highest success.
An inventor may devise a machine
which is to revolutionize the industry
of the world, yet he may not be able,
on account of deficient mechanical skill,
to construct his machine in such a way,
that it will work. The practical man
the mechanic—comes to his assistance,
and the work is done. So it is in every
department. The man of ideas has the
force to move the world, but he needs
the man of practical common sense and
skill to help him in putting his ideas
into working shape. Farmer Jones
should not jump to any suoh conclusion
as his remarks seem to indicate. —Rural

CHOOSING AND RAISING CALVES.
In choosing heifer calves, it is best to
select from undisputed good cow ■, also
having an eye to the possibility of its
becoming a good milker, and for this
we should examine the teats and udder,
which should always be of good size,
and in four distinct quarters. Should
all four cluster together, the calf must
be discarded at once, as a good cow
must have room for the milk and con
veniences for obtaining it. We should
be a little particular about this, as it is
the foundation in making a choice. A
keen eye is as mucn to be admired in a
calf as in a horse, and also a symmetri
cal and fawn-like appearance from head
to tail. It is not safe to select a calf
because it is large, as such will not
always make large cows. One that does
not cut up well in the throat should not
be selected. It should be well to notice
this in selecting a bull calf for breed
ing, as an animal that 'one could not
keep a halter on without choking, no
ne wants.
The calves should have new milk for
two or three weeks, then add sweet
skim-milk, a little at a time, and by the
time the calf is six weeks old (and not
before) it should have all sour milk. It
is unwise in feeding to set down a pail
ful for each calf to wallow in; they
should by all means be stanchioned, or
fastened so they can be controlled. No
calf should be fed so much as to cloy it,
nor enough to give it the scours. This
summer I have fed the calves myself,
and not one has been troubled with
scour in .a I always take tho bucket
away before they get quite all they
think they want. J. Summerton.
Erie county, Penn.
There is great magnetic power in the
eyes of several of the lower animals.
The lion’s, the tiger’s and the serpent’s
eyes are all magnetic. It is well known
that the serpent will charm birds that
are flying above it, until in great circles
they will sweep down to the destruction
which awaits them. A friend of mine,
a doctor, was one day walking in the
field, when he saw an adder lying on a
rock. He drew near to examine it and
presently looked at its eyes. He was
attracted by their great beauty and in-
voluntarily stepped forward two or three
steps. Beautiful light flowed from them
and seemed to bathe the very ooils of
the serpent. Gradually he drew closer
until, just as he was almost within the
reptile’s reach, he fell, feeling, as he
said afterward, as though he had been
struck by a stone. When he became
conscious his head was in a friend’s lap.
His first words were: “ Who struck
me?” “Noone struck you, doctor. I
saw you were charmed by the snake and
I struck it with a stone.” He had
struck the snake and the doctor had felt
the blow.— Home Journal.
Horticultural Hints for July.
At this season of alternate droughts
and heavy, beating rains, it is difficult
to get a good stand of any garden crop,
and especially of the small seeded
plants, which, if they germinate at all,
are very liable to perish during the first
few days of their existence, unless pro
tected in some way against sun and
rain. We hav6 recommended sowing
cabbage seed in May, and again in
June, in the South Atlantic coast
region, and in the lower portion of the
Gulf States. We may sow once more
from the first to the tenth of July, and
if we succeed wPh this sowing, we pre
fer for our winter crop the plants thus
grown to the earlier ones. Keep the
seed bed moist by frequent watering#
with soap suds or other liquid manure,
not made too strong, till the plants are
well established. If you have good
plants from previous sowings, trans
plant a few, as also cauliflower and
broccoli, choosing tlie evening or a
rainy day for the operation, and shading
the plants for a few days; but next
month’s plantings will be likely to do
better.
Of beets, carrots and parsnips, it is
now very difficult to get a stand, but if
you can protect the young plants
against the hot sun and beating rains
you may get a fine crop early in the
fall. Turnip seed must be sown. If
the “stand’ 1 fails, try again. Snap
beans may still be planted for a suc
cession. Watermelons, squashes and
cucumbers, for a late crop, may be
planted, and if they withstand rain and
sun and survive, they will give you a
good late crop. Of peas, it is difficult
to get a stand, and keep the plants
growing, during the heats of July and
August, bnt by spading up deeply a
moist rich spot, planting the seed deep
and covering the ground with straw,
good crops can sometimes be had in the
fall. Early corn, for a fall crop of
roasting ears, should be planted the
first of the month. Tomatoes may still
be planted, using cuttings or layers,
(watering and shading them) if you
have no young plants.
Irish potatoes for a fall crop may be
planted toward the last of this month,
or in August. To prepare your seed,
about two weeks before planting, spread
the potatoes on the ground in a moist
spot, cover lightly with earth and
thickly with mulch, watering occa
sionally if necessary. When ready to
plant, make use of those tubers only
which have begun to sprout, or which
show signs of development in the eyes,
and you will got a stand at once, while
if seed be taken at random from your
stock of potatoes, many of them will
fail to germinate till too late to produce
anything.
In the flower garden, watering, weed
ing and tying up plants are the princi
pal operations; but roses and other
shrubs may still be layered ; also, such
herbaceous plants as verbenas, petu
nias, salvias, etc. Dahlias may be
topped to cause them to throw up new
flower stems and chrysanthemums to
make them stout and bushy. Save
seeds, to be put away in paper bags,
neatly labelled. House plants, whether
in pots or in hanging baskets, will re
quire unremitting care and a skillful
regnlation of light, shade and moisture,
modifying the treatment to suit the
natural habits of the different species.
The coleus will need and repay special
attention.
Female Luxury in France.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Telegraph writes to that
journal : “Our latest novelty in the
way of female luxury is eminently
characteristic. It is now the fashion
for ladies, like snails, to travel about
with their own houses—not exactly on
their backs, but with their trunks.
Several grandes dames de par le monde
have had constructed bathing machines,
or rather bathing cabins, which can be
taken to pieces and put together again
in a few minutes. They can be packed
up in a box like a telescope umbrella or
a camp stool. These fastidious females
have had their houses built of varnished
wood, and their monograms engraved
on the street door. The inside is lined
with white leather or wadded damask,
and provided not only with every im
aginable toilet luxury but also with a
small stool. I was looking to-day at
some bathing habiliments, so elaborate
ly adorned with braid as to resemble
the costumes of the young ladies who
disport themselves in burlesque. Now
if there is one place more than another
where coquetry is unnecessary, it is in
the water. It is true the French
baigneuses seldom allow the sea to
come up higher than their knees, and
that they often have to walk half a mile
from their cabin into the water. It is
to be hoped that their new temporary
cabins will not fall to pieces at the first
gust of wind. If this catastrophe were
to happen, Ihe ladies would have to
adopt the plan I once saw pursued at
a small watering place in Spain, where
they donned and doffed their bathing
costumes at home, and walked valiantly
through the streets dressed ala Mrs.
Bloomer.”
fclentlemen Coach Drivers in England.
One of the most brilliant sights of the
season was the parade of the Four-in-
Hand club on Wednesday, June 2, in
Hyde park, London. The luxuriant
foliage ; the intensely green grass, set
off with rhododendrons, masses of gera
niums, and other flowers ; the variega
ted costumes; the flashing waters of the
lake ; the sparkle of glistening harness;
and the animation which is always im
parted by the presence of fine horses,
tossing their heads, prancing, and show
ing off their handsome figures, make up
altogether a very striking and lively
picture. The long file of four-horse
coaches, all as bright and speckless as
silver plate, drawn by horses of the
best breed and groomed to the highest
polish, is in itself a very attractive
spectacle, especially to those who can
appreciate the graceful skill of the
driving.
The Coaching club and the Four-in-
Hand club are for the most part com
posed of the same members, but they
have different uniforms, the color of the
former being brown and that of the
other green. There were twenty-five
teams of magnificent horses, mostly
chestnut. The bay - browns of Mr.
Eaton, the silk merchant, attracted gen
eral admiration. Among the teams
there were two grays and two blacks; a
gray and a bay and two blacks ; a bay,
a gray, a chestnut, and roan ; a chest
nut and white (skewbald is the technical
term) and three bays. Count Munster,
the German ambassador, had also a
good team in the line. Next week the
green coats will be put on for the
Coaching club, which is to drive to
Alexandra park, in the north of London.

gnawed by rats, anoint it with castor
oil.
Honey to be kept from souring should
be placed in a dry room. A room in a
chamber is best.
To detect sulphuric acid in vinegar,
put in a little starch; then add a minute
portion of iodine. If sulphuric acid be
present, the starch will take a blue
tint.
Diamond cement,, for glass or chiua,
is nothing more than isinglass boiled in
water to the consistence of cream, vtfth
a small portion of rectified spirit added.
It must be warmed when used.
Iron may be cemented in wood by
dropping in the recess prepared in the
latter a small quantity of strong solu
tion of sal ammoniac. This causes the
iron to rust, rendering it very difficult
to extract.
To cure summer complaint, take
about two tablespoonfuls of grated
comfrey root and the white of one egg,
beaten well together, then have ready a
pint of boiling milk, into which stir the
comfrey and egg. It will thicken like
pap, and is not unpleasant to take.
M. Lire strongly recommends the use
of bread mixed with sea-water in cases
of disease arisim? from poverty of blood,
for convalescents recovering from acute
diseases, and for healthy persons of
delicate constitution. The water must
be genuine sea-water, not the sea salt of
commerce in water.
A non-drying cement of great tenac
ity, useful to fastening plates of glass
so as to exclude air, is formed by add
ing freshly slaked lime to double its
weight of India rubber, and heating to
about 400 degrees Fahrenheit, when the
rubber will be converted into a glutin
ous mass.
If marble is soiled by grease, pipe
clay mixed to a paste with water, spread
over the stain and allowed to dry and
remain for several days after it is dry
may be of use, but it is a very difficult
matter to remove grease or any other
substance that has entered the pores of
a material of such close texture as
marble.
An excellent liquid glue is made by
dissolving hard glue in nitric ether.
The ether will take up only a certain
amount of the glue, so that the solution
cannot be made too thick. If a few
bits of pure India rubber, cut into
scraps the size of buckshot, be added,
the mixture will, when dry, resist damp
ness to a considerable degree.
To make California beer, take a good,
sound Irish potato, say the size of a
large hen’s egg, and grate it fine. Then
take a quart of rain water, and sweeten
with molasses, put the grated potato in
the water and set away. In a few days
the seed will begin to grow and make
good beer. Avery small quantity of
the seed will make a large jug of beer.
Did it ever occur to any of our read
ers that it takes more feed to make a
pound of beef than a pound of butter ?
A good cow in milk, well cared for, will
make two hundred pounds f butter in
a season, worth from sixty to seventy
dollars, but a dry cow, with same feed,
will not gain as much weight in the
same time, nor will she be worth as
much as butter from the dairy cow—and
the milk is left. An acquaintance of
mine is fattening an ox, and in sixty
days he had fed him 900 pounds of jneal
at a cost of sls, with only 100 pounds
gain in weight.
A great many accidents are happen
ing every day from the use of kerosene.
I will tell you a method by which they
can be to a great extent prevented, and
I hope you will publish it for the benefit
of poor people who are obliged to buy
cheap oils. If the body of the lamp is
filled with cotton, such as jewelers nse
to wrap their articles in, after it is
stuffed lightly it will receive one-half
the quantity of oil which it would if the
cotton were not put in. If any acci
dent happens, the oil can not spill or
flow a!>out, but is, as it were, sopped
upou the cotton, which burns like a
fagot, but all in one place.
A strange case of poisoning is re
ported from Stettin. A gentleman had
bought a hat in a shop there, and after
having worn it one or two days was
troubled with unbearable headache. At
the same time little ulcers formed upon
his forehead, his eyes ware inflamed,
and the whole of the upper part of his
head was muoh swollen. It was evident
that these symptoms were caused by
the hat, and upon examination by a
chemist it was found that the brown
leather in the inside of the hat was col
ored with a poisonous aniline dye. It
appears that inflammation is unavoida
ble when this dye is in contact with any
part of the skin.
Cracked Wheat.— For a pint of
cracked grain, have two quarts of water
boiling in a smooth iron pot over a quick
fire ; stir in the wheat slowly ; boil fast
and constantly for the first half hour of
cooking, or until it begins to thicken
and “ pop up,” then lift it from
the quick fire, and placo the pot
where the wheat will cook slowly
for an hour longer. Keep it cov
ered closely, stir it now and then,
and be careful not to let it burn at the
bottom. Wheat cooked thus is much
better and richer than when left to soak
and simmer for hours, as many think
necessary. White wheat cooks the easi
est. When ready to dish out, have
your mold moistened with cold water,
cover lightly, and set in a cool place.
Eat warm or cold with milk or sugar.
Evert housekeeper may not know of
what they are capable in the line of
keeping their tinware in order. For the
benefit of such I will say that it is
easier to solder such things than to pay
a traveling tinker two prices for mend
ing them. Take a sharp knife and
scrape the tin around the leak until it is
bright, so that the solder will stick.
Then sprinkle on a little powder resin
(they have liquid flux to sell, but resin
will do just as well) ; lay your solder on
the hole, with your soldering iron melt
it on. Do not have the iron too hot, or
the solder will adhere to that. After
two or three trials you can do a job that
you will be proud of. If you do not
own a soldering iro-% procure one by all
means ; but;, when hard pressed, I have
used the knob on the end of the fire
shovel, or a smooth piece of iron, or
held a candle under the spot to be
mended. Any thing is better than stop
ping leaking pans with beeswax or rags.
Try it, young housekeepers, and see
how independent you will feel.. Your
pans should be dry when you take them
in hand.
Watermelon Cake. —Take one and a
half cupfuls of white sugar, the whites
of four fresh eggs, half a cupful of sour
milk, half a cupful of butter, two cup
fuls of flour. Cream the butter and
sugar well together ; then add the milk,
with not quite half a teaspoonful of
soda; immediately aftetward stir in a
little flour, then a little egg, and so on
until all the ingredients are added.
The eggs must, of course, be beaten
until very light. This completes one
half of the process. Now take one and
a half cupfuls of pink sugar (any goed
confectioner can supply it), half a cuj -
ful of butter, half a cupful of sour milk,
not quite a teaspoon ful of soda, and two
cupfuls of flour. Flavor the pink part
with anything you prefer ; rose water is
much used. Seed one-quarter of a
pound of good raisins ; after you have
them prepared, rub them well into a
little flour, when your cake will not be
so apt to fall. After your dough of
both kinds is ready, Bpread well the
bottom and sidts cf your pan with the
white dough ; fill up with the pink,
leaving enough of the white to cover
over entirely. Be very particular in
baking, and be sure it is well done be
fore removing it from the pan, Thi is
a very popular cake, with young people
especially, and Is both delicious and a
good imitation of watermelon.
The American Grangers and [the
English Co>operatorß.
It appears that the English co-op
erative societies, whose representatives
are now negotiating with the executive
committee of the national grange, are
not secret bodies. Hence it will be
impossible, under existing circum
stances, for them to unite with the
patrons. But this difficulty has been
met by the formation of a trading com
pany, having the indorsement and sup
port of the united co-opt rati ve bodies
in England, and fully organized under
the English laws. The propositions
are to have two branches of the society,
one in England and the other in the
United States. The board in each
country is to have the absolute control
of the funds subscribed therein, and all
to be used for the purpose of the inter
national exchange of commodities. The
capital is $25,000,000. All transactions
are to be for cash or its equivalent.
The British 00-operators number 500,-
000 members; have over 1,000 stores,
some 50 or 60 cotton spinning mills,
about 20 flouring mills, an agricultural
and horticultural society, and a number
of manufactories ; and, of course, con
sume a large quantity of American pro
ducts. The funds subscribed by the
English branch of the company will be
employed in the parchase of ships, the
erection of warehouses, and the manu
facture of such articles as are in con
stant demand among the patrons of
husbandry. These ships will bring the
goods to New Orleans and other south
ern ports, and to eastern ports if neces
sary. They desire the patrons to em
ploy their portion of the capital in carry
ing American staples and products to
meet these ships, and thus to make the
necessary exchange in the most direct
and simple manner. The 00-operators
have a large surplus capital, which is
constantly on the increase, and which
they think can be profitably employed
in this trade. While each branch of
the company will have control of its
own affairs, the two boards will form a
council who will, by joint action, de
cide what branch of business will be
en £ a ged in, and define tho method of
conducting the same. An American
will be sent to Liverpool to watch the
interests of the grange branch of the
company, and the English board will
have a like representative in New
Orleans, while the general supervision
will be in the hands of a managing
director already elected, and who,
though an Englishman bom, has been
twenty-three years in America.— Ex.
A New York Domestic Tragedy.
One of those frequent city paragraphs,
relating an inquest upon the body of a
woman who had died suddenly while
visiting friends up town, was followed
up the other day by a reporter whose
time hung on his hands. He evoked a
tragedy, whose final details he gives at
length in the New York World, while
its secret is left to be conjectured. The
mother of six children, just turning
forty, goes out one afternoon and does
not return. After lin the morning she
is brought in, feet foremost, dead,
accompanied by a doctor and by “a
friend of the family.” The friend tells
his story. He met her on Broadway at
6; she said she was exhausted; she ate a
chop and an ice with him ; they started
to such a park ; she was taken ill; he
took her into a house—the nearest;
when the doctor came she was dead ;
that was 9:30. The women, her neigh
bors in the house, want to know if she
died at 9:30, why it is 1:30 before she
is brought home, and why her limbs are
still warm ? The friend listens with a
nervous patience but says nothing. The
next day the bustling coroner, aD au
topsy and a verdict—congestion. But
what, says the neighbor who lays the
body out, do these marks on her neck
mean, and that purple spot on her
shoulder ? Four on one side, one on
the other. The husband would not
hear of investigation. He would rather
not know how that afternoon passed.
The friend was not his friend ; he vis
ited his wife, the dead woman; they
had been seen in each other’s oompany.
The house she was taken into had on
the door-plate a name bandied loosely
by loose men, the reporter finds, and
gets no news there. The doctor has
been handsomely paid by the friend of
the family; that individual does not
deny intrigue, but scouts the idea of
violence. All parties think the matter j
had better drop. And it does drop. '
The World says that these events have
happened within ten days, and that this
is a common story.
The Day the Ruin is Wrought.
When one has arrived over night, has
drunk the waters, breakfasted, glanced
over tbe arrivals in the books of the
hotel in which one lodges, the next
thing is to hear the band play at one of
the great hotels, and nine times out of
ten one goes to the Grand Union.
Sometimes the band stations itself in
the parlor, but often* r on the inner
piazza, overlooking the beautiful
grounds. If the former, the audience
is composed, for the most part, of ladies,
and of ladies’ men, that is of males
who are so far subjugated and overoome
by female charms as to be willing to
give up their own ideas and habits.
The men love to listen to the music
when the musicians are on the piaza~,
which enables them to indulge iu that
never-ending companion of male lips,
the cigar. And those who are still de
votees to the practice abominated by
Mrs. Trollope are enabled to enjoy the
waltzes of Strauss without rising every
two minutes and making for the door
with a face in which embarrassment and
the outlines of a huge chew struggle
for the mastery. While the band plays
the ladies make their innings and en
deavor to complete the impression which i
they may have made yesternight on the
other piazza or in the dance-room. The
presence of Charles Augustus or of !
Henri or Rodolf having been acknowl- j
edged by a sweet smile, a friendly move
ment of hand indicates the fact that
there is, by the merest chance, an un- 1
occupied chair in the immediate neigh
borhood of the young lady. The gen
tleman, who, being by himself, feels a
little out of countenance, and grateful
therefore for the encouragement, is,
however, a little dubious on account of
his cigar, which he holds hesitatingly
iu his hands as he advances. He makes
a little motion as if to throw it away.
“Oh, pray don’t tbiukof it,” the young
lady shrieks instanter; “I adore the
smell of them in the open air, when
they are good; and you, I am sure,
have too good a taste to smoke any but
the beet.” The young man takes his
seat beside that female spider, so tickled
and flattered that the a r seems full of
happiness. —Saratoga Letter.
Mars, —The star now so conspicuous
in the south for its red light, is the
planet Mars, now in opposition to the
sun, and which, on the 28th ult.,
when nearest the eartb t> was hardly forty
million of miles from us, or nearer than
at any time within the last fifteen years:
but as the planet is at the great south
declination of about twenty-eight de
grees, it will be low there even -"hen
highest, while in the southern hemis
phere it will be ve y high, and thus
afford the astronomers at the observa
tories in Australia, Africa and South
America excellent opportunities during
several weeks for measuring twice daily,
or when east and west, the diataace be
tween the planet and some star near it;
and thus, for determining the sun’s
paralax, pehaps quite so accurately as
was determined by the recent transit ef
Venue.
