Food and nnttrr.
The winnimjcanl in dairy competition,
«ays an exchange, ha, been quantity of
butter in a given time. The but ter rec
ord, to the quarter ounce, is the medal
of honor. Nothing lias been considered
but quantity. The addition of one ounce j
to the best record instantly adds thou
sands of dollars to the value of the cow
that produced it, elevating her to queen
ship. But is there nothing else to be
considered but quantity? Economy of
production shall hold the sceptre over
evcrrth'Eg. All breeds must come under
that. When it shall be proved, bv care
ful experiments, that large numbers of
< ows of a given breed produce butter at
the h ast cost of food, the cows of that
breed will be as eagerly sought as those
of the largest quantity are now. Who
can say which breed will triumph under
this fest? There has often been • claim
of economy of production put in for the
Ayrshire. Lot the promoters of that
breed carefully te«t a herd of ten or
twenty head for an entire season, taking |
grass in its season and grain and hay in
their season. There is hay and grain
feeding enough to give that a lair test.
It would, however, give a better hay and
rain test in spring, when the cows were
fresh. There is generally one month be
fore grass. The hay and grain should
bo carefully weighed, each cow should
also be weighed at the beginning and end
of the experiment. The milk and butter
ahould be most carefully weighed. There
must be no element left unconsidered
that can effect the question of cost of
milk and butter. This question is press
ing, and we hope tests will be made the
present year among the breeds. May the
best win.

Pr. C. Harlan, Wilmington, Del., In
an essay on green manuring read before
the last Ensilage Congress, described at
len.clh the process of using the various
crops for green manure, showing by ac
tual experiment remarkable success in
raising large crops by means of green
manures. He stated that in twenty
acres of Hungarian millet, costing SOO,
there is as much nitrogen ns in 1,000
tons of stable nrrmre. One ton of green
clover contains twelve pounds nitrogen,
two and one half pounds of phosphoric
m id, and nine pounds of potash. “We
can have, by the middle of June,” said
he, “fifteen tons to cut down and
plough in for wheat, or if left on the
surface a second cron will grow up and
lire two together, roots and tops, by
August 15, will amount to twenty-live
tons per acre. Seed at ten dollars per
bushel makes nitrogen cost one cent per
pound, ami the gieen clover ten cents
per ton, and it will take (100 tons of
bam yard manure to furnish as much
nitrogen ns in twenty acres of clover.
,lt is cheaper to manure with clover than
v,itli manure out of your neighbor’s
'yard."
‘ -reen buckwheat s ands high. Ac
cording to the s tmeauthority, one ton of
given buckwheat contains eight pounds
of nitrogen three pounds phosphoric
mid and eleven pounds of potash. In
18*5 Dr. Harlan raised, in fifty-one days,
twenty seven tons per acre. It
was sown July 11, and cut and
weighed September 11. Farmers say
it poisons the land, hut plow it into the
soil, and it will antidote the poison. Ono
Can plow in three or four green crops in
one year. In July plow and sow rye and
buckwheat together. When the latter
is in blossom, cut it down in the rye.
The buckwheat acts as a mulch for the
rye, and both together protect and im
prove the soil. By May. 15 the rye will
lie in blossom, ami should be cut down
mid a second crop will spring up, and in
or eight weeks may be as large as the
fust. Then plow all in together, mid by
August 1 put in sowed corn or buck
wheat as a mulch for wheat. Buckwheat
is also an excellent muleh for clover, and
insures good crops when sown with it in
ti e piing. Cut it down when in bios
som.
The covering of land by the seashore
with seaweed benefits it very much. A
wise concentration of fertili aiion will
iuciea-e the price of the 1 and two fold,
li. goen mowing, and by the folding
mid soiling of animals is accomplished
the concentration of plant food, which
will always insure success Followin''

Soft Gim ek Bki:w. —One egg, one
cup of New Orleans molasses, one small
teacup half fu'l of butter or beef drip
pings, half cup of hot water, one tea
tpoouful of soda, one dessert spoonful ol
ginger, one pint of sifted flour. Bake
slowly.
A Dish ion Dbssert.— An easily-pre
pared dessert is made of tapioca: it
hardly seems appropriate to call so dain
ty a dish a pudding. Soak a cupful of
tapioca for an hour in cold water, then
boil, adding warm water enough to al
low it to expand: when tender sweeten
it, and take from the fire: add an orange
cut in small bits for flavoring. Serve
w ith cream.
Stbawbekbt Preserve. —Take the
finest berries, cap and weigh them, al
lowing ®uc pound of white sugar to
eery po ind of berries. Take the in
f. iior berries, crush and squeeze them.and
str. in through a jelly bag; to each pint
of juice low one pound of white sugar;
put all the sugar in a preserving kettle
und pour the juice over it; boil and
skim; then drop the berries in and bol
until soft: lift them carefully out on e

them out ami boil the syrup five or ten
minutes longer; then put the fruit in
I jars and pour the syrup over them. -
I’ea Sour.—Take apintof wholedried
peas, or more, according to the number
iof persons. Soak them in cold water all
night ; next morning pour off this water,
put the peas into a saucepan with »
quart and a half of water, a fewecarrots
and turnips cut up, a small onion and n
little pepper. Let this stew very gently
| until tender; when half done put in e
pickled pig's foot, or a very small piece
lof pickled pork or bacon (the latter be
ing not so good as pork), and continue
to simmer until the meat is done. If too
thick, the soup can be made thinner with
a little coiling water. Turn out into a
deep dish. It is a very cheap dish, and,
if properly and slowly stewed, is ex
tremely good. In all towns pigs’ feet
arc to be had very cheap.
Helping the Editor.
We like the volunteer journalist—
fried, if he is young, and boiled, if he
is old—but we like him. The good peo
ple who lie awake nights devising plans
to improve their paper doubtless think
they are doing the world a great service,
and they are not. If a journal is not
properly conducted, the public will find
it out. The subscription list and adver
tising patronage will tell the business
manager that something is wrong, and
the remedy will be applied without out’
: side assistance. There are few peoplo
who would have the impudence and ef
frontery to stop a physician on his way
to visit a | attont and tell that physician
! that he was pursuing exactly the wrong
’ course of treatment, and would surely
kill Ins patient. Nobody but a lunatic
would interrupt a judge in the midst of
his charge to the jury, and say: “See
here, you are not giving those twelve
men the proper instructions; you ought
to know better than that!” People
don't rush into a dry goods establish
ment in breathless haste and tell the pro
prietor be made a mistake in buying
calico last week, and ought to wait un
til next week. Our greatest millers
and manufacturers are not besieged
by a horde of wise idlers who
are loaded to the muzzle with informa
tion about the proper time to buy wheat
or the necessity of limiting the product
until the demand increases. They are
allowed to attend to their own business,
and if they do not conduct it properly,
decreased patronage soon warns them of
their danger.
In the newspaper oflice it is different.
One volunteer thought molder advises
the decapitation of a correspondent be
cause he writes that ear muffs are not
fashionable in Cuba. He fears it may in
jure the ear muff trade in Minneapolis.
Another compln ns that the death of
John MeNiff, which occurred in Arkansas
last May. was not chronicled with the
postscript, “Pine Bluff and Moccasin- ;
villa panels please copy.” A tendermiss
< f nineteen summers ami mi equal num
ber of hard winters flutters in with a
poem on “Love’s Young Dream,” and |
complains that hitherto too little atten i
tion has been paid to the muses. She
adds that she would like to have her es i
fusion printed on the first page, top of :
column, and will present her bill at the I
cashier s window. Ono man wants more I
foreign nows, and another thinks it is |
an outrage to print rubbish from across
the water at ail. And so it goes. If
the editor printed everything he is or
dered to, he would have to issue a sixty- j
four page paper every day; ami if he
omitted everything his anxious advisers j
ti lls him to, his journal would be as ’
white us the driven snow. Miimeaptli*

published nt the. capital. Everybody I
reads it, and, from the universality of i
its perusal, it is facetiously called the I
“ Spanish n ghteap," because no one is
supposed to have gone to bed without
having read it entirely through. And it
must I c read through, for it is the most
extraordinary hodgepodge and olla pod
rida ever printed as a new-paper. It is
a newspaper rather than paper of opin

reporters ami no editor. The reporten
scour the capital and pick up every item
of interest, cab.net resignations, the ac- ;
cident to your washerwoman, the illness
i of the king, the latest earthquake news, i
the price of eggs, the opening of a new

ters bring in their news like so many
bees coming home honey laden. They
put their copy, written at the clubs, or
, hastily penciled in memorandum books
on the streets, into a black leather bag
at the office. When the composing
room runs out of copy to set, the fore
man goes to the black bag and helps

is all set and all printed without any
regard to order or typographical display.

every line, for if you skip at all the very

TOPICS OF THE DAY.
Minnesota has just passed a law
taking away from judges the option of
imposing tho death sentence in cases
of murder in the first degree and mak
ing capital punishment mandatory.
Minnesota is the second State that has
recently restored the death penalty.
An engagement was entered into by
two Philadelphia swells to pool their
issues and give a theatre party. It was
agreed that one should get the seats
and provide for taking the party to
and from the theatre, and the other
was to give tho supper. A coin was
tossed, and the winner selected the
theatre tickets as his share. Thirty
young people were invited, and one of
last season’s brides secured to matron
ize them. The party, to their amaze
ment, were taken to the Arch-strees
Opera House, where a company it
singing light operas, the price of ad
mission being a dime, and reserved
orchestra chairs ten cents extra. Tho
man who had ordered the supper was
furious at first, but the rest took the
joke in the proper way, and soon he
joined in the laugh. The thirty-two
seats cost $6.40; car fare, $5.76; total.
$12.16. The supper eml of the bill
amounted to about $75.
The Chinese know tho value of ad
vertising. Here is the “ad” of an
ink manufacturer of Canton, trans
lated: “At the shop Tae-shing (pros,
porous in the extreme) —very good
ink; lino! fine! Ancient shop, great
grandfather, grandfather, father, and
self made this ink; lino and hard, very
hard; picked with care, selected with
attention. This ink is heavy; so is
gold. The oye of the dragon glitters
and dazzles; so does this ink. No one
makes like it. Others who make
ink make it for the sake of ac
cumulating base coin and cheat,
while I make it only for a
name. Plenty of A-kwantsaes (gen
tlemen) know my ink—-my family
never cheated—they have al ways borne
a good name. 1 make ink for the‘Son
of Heaven’ and all the mandarins in
the empire. As tho roar of the tiger
extends to every place, so doos the
fame of the ‘dragon’s jewel.’”
In tho autumn of 1872, says the
London Laueet, when sanitary officers
at the Sonepore Fair, and during the
height of tho pilgrimage, when the
people thronged in thousands to the
bathing gates, Deputy Sll rgei >n-( I eneral
Tuson first used sulphur tires as a pro
phylactic measure against cholera.
These fires were made at fifty yards
apart, and kept alight during tho
whole time that the Fair wa> at its
height. Not a single case of cholera
occured; a remarkable circumstance,
since cholera had generally broken out
iat previous fairs. A similar go si re
suit was obtained at Dinapore, where
cholera was actually prevailing. In
a pamphlet on this subject. Dr. Tuson
; has adduced certain facts and argu
ments in support, of tho contention
| that sulphur fires are efficacious in
epidemics of cholera. The basis of his
i explanation of their efficacy is the
germ theory of tho disease.
An exchange remarks that “the ex
traordinary longevity of the survivors
of the war of 1812 is certainly a curi
! ous fact well worthy of notice. That
I was not a great war; not many troops
I were engaged, and no very largo force
i mustered into the service of the
United States, and the war came to an
end almost sixty-one years ago. Yet
, the commissioner of pensions reports
i 15,875 survivors of the war on the
| rolls of tho pension office. Very few,
> indeed, of these can be less than
i eighty years of age, and tho number
must be nearly if not quite ten per I
cent of the whole force mustered for
the service. If the veterans of the
late war of the rebellion prove so
tenacious of life, nearly two hundred
thousand of them will survive in the
year 1926. We should be very glad to
believe that all of them would live
much longer than that, but we cannot
expect it, for it is against the course
of nature. It is hard to resist the
conviction that a large share of the
i fifteen thousand veterans of 1812 are
' imposters.’”
Beached Their Destination.
P. T. Barnum recently received a

The latter, it is related, once paid
Joimser the compliment of addressing

responded with a letter addressed to
“Benjamin Franklin, The World." It
was duly delivered.— Chicago Journal.

LADIES' COLUMN.
Feamren nt New York Tatlorg.
A fiim of London tailors for women
has opened a New York establishment.
The evidences arc many that they have
reckoned on taking very profitable ad
vantage of the Anglomania among our
women of fashion and wealth, for they
take especial pains to announce their
employment at home by aristocrats? A
feature of the occasion is the exhibition
of garments on living models—not pretty
girls hired here for the service, but gen
uine English beauties imported so fresh
ly that their London accent is not yet in
the s ighlcst degree impaired. There
are fifteen of them, and all young, with
handsome faces and slender, lithc.shapc
ly figures, on which the clothes are dis
played to the best possible advantage.
They chat agreeably with the crowd of
shoppers, strike effective attitudes and
walk about with a gait presumably that
of the most approved London belles.
But there is a still more remarkable de
vice for catching the fancy of New York
wearers of fashionable garments. In the
center of one room stands a hobby horse,
as big as life, covered with a real equine
skin and supported in such away on
springs as to rise and fall like a galloper
in motion. The sides of the apartment
are mirrors. This ii the department for I
riding habits. The woman who seeks a
new costume for equestrianism is asked
to select several models, and these she
may test as to effect by donning them, i
taking a seat on the back of the imita- ;
tion steed and contemplating herself in !
the mirrors while in the saddle In case
she doesn’t care to mount the hobby
horse herself one of the imported girls
corresponding most nearly to her size
and shape performs tho feat.— l>ro</k.lyn

Pretty Fftahtonr* tor Summer Homes.
I rnbrella stands are useful, but every
one knows that if umbrellas arc kept in
them long they get very dusty, even ■
with great care. A nice case for this ;
u«e in a seaside or summer cottage any
where in made of crash or linen, or any
wash material. They can be made to ;
hold one or two umbrellas, and arc shaped !
like a dagger, the outer piece is cu* ■
rather larger nnd is not so long at the :
top as the under side. Tho ripper p'ecc
is embroidered in outline-«titch wi h
crewels an umbrella, or a long slender '
spray of flowers make a pretty finish, or ;
if preferred, some comic design, n chim
ney sweep appearing from the top of a
chimney with Iris brushes. Another 1
v ery sensible design for country use, for j
lounge or hammock, is a sofa pillow cov- I
ered with brown linen, merely a brown i
linen pillow-case, a bunch of red pop- I
pies worked in crewels on one side, and i
tied around the (op with a broad '
red ribbon, making one of the
bag pillows so fashionable at
present. I his of course can be 1 Hindered ■
when soiled. A nice shoe bag is made
of chintz orcretonne, about, three fourths
of a yard long and a little less than half
a yard wide, two rows of cretonne as
wide as desired uro then tacked on this
foundation, in four box plaits each; be
tween each plait is stitched e stripe of i
red or blue worslcd bin d mu! the whole
is bound with the same. These may be
tacked on closet or wardrobe doors, and
are found very convenient when one is ;
limited for do et room. Many ladies
who board in summer carryall these lit
tle conveniences with them—not only for
their usefulness but they give a home like
look to the usually rather bare rooms of i
the ordinary country hotel or boarding
house. Something pretty and appropri
ate for a napkin for a fish platter is three
fishes in outline stitch in red crewel,
outside, or rather over these, in fine |
twine colored crewel is netted a tninia.

Short mantles, jerseys, cloth and silk

dolman visites of medium length arc all
fashionably worn as street wraps.
“Jersey” gloves in silk arc very fash

Bustles of stuffed hair attached to the

more in favor than steel bustles, and ’tis
pity, but 'tis true, that bustles grow
larger.
Hats come in various fancy colors: in- |
deed almost any dress fabric could be i
matched in braids, and they are so per- ■
fcctly tinted that they are really beau- |

Oriental laces find especial favor; they

' threads, floss silk, heavy embroidery

broidered on net.
All laces arc fashionable. Even the
old black Llama lace is revived, and silk
lace both in the piece and wide edgings
come in all the new shades of brown, tan,
steel blue, gray, wine color, olive, moss,
and reseda greens, as well as black and

FOUR ACTS PLAYED I
Report About Ex-Prealdent Arthur.
Will the Fifth and Final Act be a Tragedy.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
i “Dr. Lincoln, who was at the funeral of ex-
Secretary Frelingbuysen, says ex-President
Arthur looked very unwell. He is suffering
• from Bnght’s disease. During the [>a.st year
\ it has assumed a very aggravated form.”
'['bat telegram is act IV. of a drama writ-
• ten by ex President Arthur’s physicians. In
: Act I. he was made to appear in “Malaria,”
I of which all the country was told when he
' went to Florida.
In Act IL he represented a tired man,worn
i lown, walking the sand at Old Point Comfort
i and looking eastward over the Atlantic to
j ward Europe for a longer rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act 111. upon the
I lifttinguished actor affected with melancholy
■ from Bright’s disease, while Act IV. discover.*
I him with the disease “in an aggravated form,
; -.uttering intensely (which is unusual) aud
: about to take a sea voyage.”
Just such as this is the plot of many dramas
i -y play-wrights of the medical prof-ssi »n.
I’hcy write the first two or three acts with no
conception of what their character will de
velop in the final one.
Ihey have not the discernment for tracing
! :n the early, what the latter impersonations
will be. Not one physician in a nundred has
i the adequate microscopic anl chemical apj.li
i ances for discovering Brights disease in its
arly stages, and when many do finally com
; h ehend that their patients aro ‘lying witn it,
when death occurs they will, to cover up their
ignorance of it, pronounce it to have been
•aused by ordinary ailments, whereas these
-idments are really results of Bright’s disease
i if which they are unconscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, bO percent of all deaths
. except from epidemics and accidents, result
rom diseased kidneys or livers. If the dying
; be distinguished and his friends too intelligent
• r o be easily deceived, his physicians perhaps
j . ronounco the complaint to be pericarditis,
py.emia, septicaemia, bronchitis, pleuritis,
j valvular lesions of the heart, pneumonia, etc.
I 11 the deceased l>o less noted, “malaria” is
' now the fashionable assignment of the cause
jf death.
But all the same, named right or named
wrong, this fearful scourge gat tier; them in 1
I VV hile it prevails among persons of sedentary
I habits—lawyers, clergymen, congressmen— it
, ilso plays great havo - among tarmers, day
| alxirers and the mechanics, though they do
j iot suspect it, because their physicians keep
t from them, if, indeed, they are able to de
tect it.
It sweeps thousands of women and children
: into untimely graves every year. The health
; gives way gradual y. the .-trength m varia
I ble, the appetite fi<-kle. the vigor gets loss and
■■ less, i hi*: isii’t ma'ari i—it is tho beginning

No, nature has not been remiss. Inde
l pendent res arch has given an infallible rem-
I edy for this common disorder; but of course
j tho bigoted physicians will not use Warner’s
safe cure, because it is a private affair and
cuts up their practice by restoring the health
of thosa who nave been invalids lor years.
The new saying of “how common Bright's
dbease is becoming among prominent men ! w
j is getting old,” and as t'la Englishman would
, say, sounds ‘Stupid -- especially ••stupid”
; since this disease is readily det-cte lby the
more learned mon and specinli-ts of this dis
'ease. But the “common luti’of physicians,
not detecting it, give the patient Epsom salts
or other drugs pres rilxxl by the old co le of
treatment under which their grandfathers
! and great grandfathers pres< ril>ed.
Anon, Yve hear that the patnmtis “comtort
j ble.” But ere long, maybe, they “tap’him
i »nd take some water from him and again
i i.h i “comfortable” story is told. Torture
I him rather than .allow him to use Warners
I -ale cure! With such variations the
| play upon tho unfortunate until Ids shroud is
I made, when we learn that he died from heart
j disease, pya-mia, s“ptiea>ini.‘i or some other
, 'locoptivo, though “dignified cause.”
Ex-President Arthur's case is not singular
—it is typical of every such case. “He is
suffering in tensely.” Tills is not usual. Gen-
I • rally there is almost no suffering he may
recover, if ho will act independently of his
physicians, Tho agency named has cured
I thousands of jM-rsoiH even in tho extreme
I stages is to day the mainstay of the h< a'th
.of iiuudreds of thousands. It is an unfor
tunate fai t that physicians will not admit
■ there is any virtue outside their own sphere,
! but as h school denh-s virtue to ail other-,
the people act on their own judgment mid
; a<*cept tilings by tho reconi of merit they
i make.
These facts arc muse for alarm, but there
I is abundant hope in prompt and indeixindent
' aetaon.
How to Make Beef Soup.
Three pounds of lean boot, with a
marrow-bone; a ham-bone, if you have
it, or half }>otind of lean ham: one tur
nip, one onion, one carrot, quarter of a
cabbage, three stalks of celery, three
quarts of cold water. Salt and pepper
to taste. Cut the meat fine, and crack
the bones. But them iu a pot with a
close top, oov.r with one quait of water,
and bring slowlv to a boil; the slower,
the better. When it begins to bubble,
add the other two quarts of water, and
boil slowly for three hours—two hours
with closed top and the last with it
slightly lifted. Wash and peel the tur
nip, carrot and onion; scrape the celery
and wash with the cabbage. Cut all
into dice, nnd lay in cold water, slightly
salted, for half as hour. Stew the car
rot by itself in hot water until tender,
then set aside to cool. Put the other
vegetables ou all together, in enough
cold water to cover them, and let them
boii to pieces. Straiu them half an hour i
before taking up the soup, and press to
a i ulp. Return the liquid to the sauce- I
pan, throw in a little salt, and let it boil I
up once to ch ar it; skim and add to the !
soup. Put iu pepper and salt, unless
the ham has saltwi it enough, and boil, !
covered, twenty minutes. Strain into au ■
earthen dish ; let it get cold enough for
the fat to rise. Skim off all yon can.
Rinse the pot with water; return the
soup to it; boil briskly one minute, aud
throw iu the carrot. Skim aud serve.
Bi,ot it Oct.— One of the disgrace
ful things about the Constitution of

clad in “Yankee blue;” after our State i
flag has been changed from the old blue
bauuer under which every tar-heel reg- j

TO A FRIEND
who is suffering from
Boils and Carbuncles,
no better advice can be given
than to try
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Orlando Snell. 132 Ford st., Low
ell, Mass., was terribly afflicted with Car
buncle? on the back of his neck. Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla cured the Carbuncles, and has
kept him free from them.
F. P. Coggeshai l, Uootseher, Low
ell, says: 1 have been taking Ayer’s Sar
saparilla for an impurity of the blood,
which manifests itself in troublesome
Boils and Eruptions, and cun truly say
that I have never found any medicine so
prompt aud certain in curative effect. It
has done me great good.
' Leander J. McDonald, Sdey St.,
Charlestown. Hass., testifies: One year
ago I suffered greatly from Boils and Car
buncles. and for nearly two months was
unable to work. A druggist advised me
to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which I pur
chased. After Liking two bottles of this
medicine I was entirely c tred, and have
remained well ever since.
