ToRemove Rust fium Ikon.-Theeasiest meth
od of removing rust from iron is robbing it with
a rag dipped in oil ot tait r. The rnst will die
appear immediately.
Cookies fob the Childben.— One cup of
sngar, one cap sour cream, two eggs, one tea
spoon soda, Graham flour of fine middlings
sufficient to roll out. If any spice is wanted,
ginger is best—one teaspoonful. If cream is
not to bo had, one cup of batter, one of sour
milk.
Beans.—The best soil is a mellow clay or
sandy loam. Prepare the land as for corn,
fitted in the nicest manner. Plant ten days or
two weeks after planting corn. Marrow beans
require one and one-eight bushels seed per acre;
mediums three-fourths of a bushel; pea beans
ote-balf bushel; kidney or other large beans
more, in proportion to size. A fair crop is
twenty bushels per acre.
How to Manage Chickens.—For chickens I
would recommend, for the first week after
hatching, a hard boiled egg to be given, chopped
fine, at least twice a day; wheat steeped in milk
and coarse Indian meal, bread crumbs, canary
and millet seed, ete., etc. A change of food is
not only advantageous, but necessary, and 1
would advise that twice per week the food be
changed, subsitutiug cracked corn for wheat
They must also have constant opportunities of
picking among grass and other herbs. They
should only be fed so long as they will run
aft9r th< ir foed; as sc on as they are careless about
it they have enough. Fowls in confinement
will pine to death with heaps of corn around
them unless they have these opportunities.
HominyGrii d;,e cakes.—Tc one pint of warm
boiled hominy ndd a pint of milk or water, and
flonr enough to make a thin batter; beat up two
or three eggs, and stir them into the batter witb
a little sa t. Fry as any other griddle-cakes.
Bbead Pudding.-Half a pound of bread
crumbs, two ounces of butt6r, one pint of boil
ing milk poured on them, and covered over till
cold; two eggs, two ounces of lump sugar. This
will eat very good when baked, cold, with or
without currants; when boiled, serve hot.
Cup-Pudding.—Take one quart of milk, fiv^
yolks aud one white of egg, five tablespoonfuls
of flour, and about & quarter cf a pound of
butter, and sis much sngar rs required; bake in
cups, beat the whites of eggs and powdered
sugar to a froth, and pile on top; serve with
sauce.
Fobeign Omelettes —Foreigners have doz
ens of omelets that we know nothing about, but
which when attempted as an innovation are sure
to meet with ‘unbounded applause.’
The most delicate and delicious is certainly
the omelette sovfflee. This is merely a sweetened
omelet which must be cooked so rapidly that it
will puff up, and eaten so immediately after
cooking that the- -French call the method -ol
serving it ‘a l instant.’
Anotuer is the Spanish omelet, made with
finely hashed onions. These are mixed in
while stirring the omelet. The Spanish, it is
needless to say, use garlic as often as onions, a
custom ‘more honored in the breach than the
observance.’
Sobebt a la Gambetta—(a new sherbet: —
You take one quart of tine well-ripened straw
berries. Three pints of wa! er are then required,
also the juice of one lemon, one tablespoonful
of orange-flower water You crush your straw
berries. Add to this paste all the ingredients
except the sugar, and let it stand three hours.
Strain the mixture over the sugar, squeezing
the cloth hard. Stir until the sugar is fully
dissolved; strain again and set upon the ice for
more than two hours before you use it
By the substitution of orange for strawberry
juice yon bAve the Oriental sherbet in place of
the above, and an equally delicious lemon sher
bet may be made, but requires three times as
much sugar. Lemon sherbet is not, however
meant to be extremely sweet.
For summer rse these sherbets are very deli
cious. They do not chill as do ices with some
persons. The lemon sherbet, not being over
sweet, is the most refreshing, but tbe delicate
flavor of the strawberry mak< s the new recipe—
the first—the most delightful of all.
It is said that American strawberries improve
every year.
Pianos Well Cabed Fob.—A cheap piano is
hardly worth having but a good one Bhouli
have as much care taken of it as an adopted
child. The instrument, it should be remem
bered, is constructed almost exclusively of vari
ous kinds of woods and metal; cloth skin, and
felt being used also in tbe mechanical portion.
For this reason atmospheric changes have a
great effect on the quality and durability of the
instrument, and it is necessary to protect it
from all external influences which might effect
the materials of which it is composed. It mast
be shaded from the sun, kept out of a drought,
and, above all, guarded against sudden changes
cf temperature. Moistare is the greatest enemy
of the piano, and it cannot be too carefully
guarded against. In a very short time damp
will destroy every good point about the instru
ment.
Management of Young Feuit Trees. —Com
paratively lew farmers give the attention to their
young trees that is necessary to secure the best
results. One of the worst and most common
errors is to seed the young orchard to grass.
With such treatment nineteen-twentieths of tbe
trees will die befoie they reaoh a bearing size
and the remainder will be sickly and on profit
able dwarfs. Glean cultivation for five to eight
years will be amply rewarded by the more vig
orous growth of the trees, and the superior
quality of the fruit Some useful crop should
be grown, which will perhaps repay the labor
bestowed upon the ties 0 . Indian corn, although
not as good as potatoes, will be good to secure
tne requisite culture, and it may be alternated
witb wheat, rye or oats. It will then be neces
sary to mulch the trees.
Any coarse material may bo used for this pur
pose—forest leaves, fodder, straw, &o., will do,
and should bo applied to the trees as far around
as the roots extend, and six or eight inches
deep; this will keep down weeds, prevent the
ground from becoming dry around the roots,
and when decomposed will enrich the soil.
Peach trees should be examined e^ery spring in
order te destroy the peach worm, which may be
found.by the gum which exudes from his abode
near the root of the tree. Strong f shes of lime
will destroy them, and is at the same time the
best fertilizer that can be applied.
Hot Wateb Spcnge Cake.—Two eggs, well
beaten, one cup of flour, one teaspoonful of
cream of tartar well mixed with the flour, one
teaspoonful of extract of lemon, and salt. Stir
all together until qnite smooth, then add one-
half teacup of boiling water in which one-half
teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved, stir
briskly, and put in the oven as soon as possible.
Letter from Lexington, Va.
All is Quiet—Beautiful Weather—Candidates—The
Lee Mausoleum—Death of Miss Baxter etc.
Our secluded little city movei along in the
“even tenor of its way,” the monotony of its af
fairs being only broken by the sounds of tbe ir
regular bratman‘shorn or the irregular whis
tle of a steam saw mill. The student with his
pale face passes quietly along burdened witb his
thoughts of the coming examination; the candi
date with a grim smile rashes about ‘seeking
whom he may devour,’ and praising the |horny
hand of toil,: Jcc, and one aspirant speaking of
the election, went so far as to say that the issue
now huDg on ‘whichever one was able to kiss
the most negf8 babies.’ Judge not from this re
mark that ail Lexingtonians stoop so low for ’tis
not always the repesentative man of a class who
aspires to office.
Tne weaiuer now is unusually fine and the
fruit-trees are blocmiDg. It is to be hoped that
they will be spared by the frost which sometimes
falls quite late here. Tne farmers are progress
ing finely with their work but are needing rain
now.
The work op the Lee mausoleum (of which I
will speak more at length again) is being push
ed rapidly forward. The ground floor contain
ing the twenty-eight cells for the Lee family, is
completed and the workmen are now engaged
preparing the room for the celebrated Valen
tine’s reclining statue of the General.
Daring the holiday s I was struck with a frien’ds
remark that the clear Xmas foreboded a full
cemetery. The prediction was oertainly a
truthful one, for on Ctiristmas day a student of
Washington and Leo University was drowned,
and from time to time since then many of our
beat citizen&ifc&ve ceased to be with us—and
yesterday morning at nine o'clock Miss Nancy
Baxter, one ot the three living daughters of that
celebrated and much loved divine, the late Rev.
George A.^Baxter, after a short illnes? fell asleep
in the arms of Jesus, aud her spirit was wafted
to a brighter home. Her remains were buried
to-day, and her grave was literally covered with
rare and beautiful flowers by the many iriends
that she leaves to mourn her loss and cherish
her memory. Max.

Devices on American Coins.
A Letter to the Sunny South from the Mint in New
Orleans.
The act of April 2nd, 1792, which established
a mint in Philadelphia, then the seat of govern
ment, provided that upon one side of the gold
and silver tffoins of the United States there
should be a^impress on emblematic of liberty,
jwith an irsjK>fiion of the word liberty, and the
year of the Wfhage, and upon the reverse, the
figure or representation of aa eagle with the in
scription, United States of America.’
The act of January 1837, made similar pro
visions, JpjfjttghSP the silver bill providing for
the restoration of the ‘Dollar of onr fathers’ was
enacted, it was provided that the same irsorip-
tions should be placed upon th6 standard dol
lar- |
But few people outside of the mints under
stand the oibre and delicacy required to pro
duce well flrnshed coins; but the work of coin
ing or perfecting a piece, is as nothing compar
ed with the designing and engraving of a die.
The extremely limited space presented by the
surface of a coin for a display of artistic em-
belishment is, of itself, a very unfavorable con
dition imposed upon the inventive faculty of the
artist, and when the more rigid limitation np-
on the relief is considered, it is obvious that
the artist has to work with the fetters on his
hands to an extent unknown in any other de
partment of art.
It has often been the case that artists of well-
known repartition, but having no experience in
the engraving cf coins, have had designs of great
artistic merit rejected, simply for the reason
that such designs were not adapted to the pur
pose for which they were intended.
The device on our coins, ‘emblematic of Lib
erty,’ is no doubt derived from a similar device
on the coins of the Roman Republic anterior to
Augustus, and has much of classic authority in
its favor. I<b adoption does not seem to have
been de'ermined by any specific act or instruc
tions, and iiLiact the journals of the Senate and
other proceedings of Congress show that the
head of the President was at first intended as
the device for one side of the coins.
Tb • first coins struck were c'”'*s in 1793, o«
which the emblem wa-» a female iu ad, with hair
flying wildly behind. In 1795, the cap of lib
erty was introduced, supported on a wand pro
jecting behind the head. In 1796 or 1797, the
cap was discarded.
The first silver coins were struck in 1794. The
head of liberty with flowing hair, and without
the cap, formed the obverse. This style was re
tained, with'ftlight modification, until about the
year 1898, when a more pleasing head of liberty
with hair dressed and cap was adopted. The
device was taken from life and wes considered
a model in good taste of the fashion of th) time.
The ir scription of the word liberty was at the
same time transferred from the margin of the
coin to the band of tbe cap.
Tbe first goid coins struck in 1795, were orna
mented with a head of liberty and a cap head
drcs9, corresponding with the fashionable bead
dress of that period. This continued until 1807
or 1808, when the head dress on the gold ooins
was made to conform to that on the silver. Uj: ou
the ohange of standard in 1834, the liberty cap
of the Goddess was removed irom the head, and
the bair confined by a band inscribed with the
word liberty. The next change took place near
the end of the year 1838, the hair beiDg looped
up behind and entwined with braids, a couple
of stray curls hanging loosely upon tbe neck,
aud the front of the head embellished with a ti
ara inscribed with the word liberty.
SiDce then the changes in the artistic devices
and designs upon ooins have been few and un
important. The reverse of all our larger ooins
has always presented to a certain extent the
heraldic elements forming tbe arms of the anion,
and no doubt in accordance with the almost
universal usage of the independent sovreign-
ties, of presenting a device on the reverse of
their coinage bearing heraldic allusions more
or less elaborate to the arms of the government
or sovreign authority.
In the various changes made from time to
time, every effort his, no doubt, been made to
preseut as beautiful coins as the limited space
wou'd permit, and ilao to secure designs which
would present no difficulty in meohanical exe
cution.
The head of liberty on the standard dollar,
designed by a young English engraver, is chaste
and beautiful, and is considered by artists, the
best executed head that has ever appeared upon
United States ooins. It is so weil distributed
as to be susoeptible of easy work under the die,
and like its predecessor of 1808, was taken from
life. Emma Kaye.
New Obleans. Apbll 23rd, 1879.
There is scarcely a wayside or village fountain
throughout the south of Spain that is not a tryst-
ing place for lovers, and that is not identified
with more than one warm romacce. The love
liness of the climate, the tempting honr tf eve,
and the cool brerz s that play around the limpid
waters, all conspire to draw many a lovely maid
en and gallant swain to the place of rendezvous
—the one with her graceful pitcher sml the oth
er with his sturdy staff or shepherd's crook, as
the case may be.
The Helots and Dbunkenness.—The service
in the Spartan house was all performed by Hei-
ols, the treatment of whom at Sparta, betokens
less cf cruelty than of oatentatiors scorn. Such
is proved by the statement that Helots were
compelled to appear in a state of drunkenness,
in order to excite iu the Spartan youths a senti
ment of repugnance of intoxication.
Renowned as the Egyptian ladies are for the
richness of their atcire, they would regard it i s
highly indecorous to display upon the street the
magnificence of their dress. When they go
about the streets of Cairo on shopping expedi
tion*, they cover themselves with a dismal
roue of black. Ae a general rule, whatever they
are compelled to exhibit to the public geze is
simplicity itself, while that they reserve for pri
vate inspection is gorgeous in the extreme.
Lacedemonian Law Against Cowabds — The
punishment of such as ti jd from battle, whom
they called at Sparta trepidanies, was this: they
could bear no office in the commonwealth; it
was a shame and a reproach to give them any
wives, and also to marry any of their?; whoso
ever met them might lawfully strike them, and
they must abide it, not giving them any word
again; they were compelled to wear poor tatter
ed cloth gowns, jatohed with cloth of divers
colors; and worst of all, to shave one side oi
their beards, and the other not
Japanese Peculiarities.—The Japanese say we
are reveissd. Tnty cali omr penmanship ‘crab
writing,' because they say it goes ‘backward.
The lines in our books cross the page like a era* -
fish, instead of going downward ‘properly.’ in
a Japanese stable we find the horse’s flank where
we look for his head. Japan* se screws screw
the other way. Their locks thrust to the left,
oars to the right. The baby toys of the Aryan
raoe squeak when squeezed; the Turanian gim-
cracks emit noise wnen pulled apart A Cau
casian to injure his enemy kills him: a Japan
ese kills himself to spite his foe. Which race iB
left-handed ? Which has the negative, which the
positive, of truth? What is truth? What is
down, what is up?
Turkish Women of all classes learn early to re
press their natural emotions and teelings while
in the presence of their superiors or masters.
Slave girls show do sign of feeling in the pres
ence of their mistrei s; but once out of the range
of the mistress’s eye, surrounded only by these
she can trust, the slave casts tff the habitually
assumed indifference of manner, and gives free
play to her natural style, mode ot rpjech and
characteristic gestures. Thus the same individ
ual was continually coming under my observa
tion at different hours of the day iu divers phases
of temper and behavior, and sometimes she who
bad app r ar -d, in the presencj of Khanum Effsn-
di, to be most fussy and cartful about trifles,
would, when off duty, laugh the loudest and
give herself up entirely to gossip and merry
making;. utterly disregarding tl^i^uWfes she
ought to l ave been attendii g to, when the young
er tlaves i who were at del her orders and really
anxious about their especial functions being du
ly performed) would timidly press her for direc
tions. The harem is quiet, and peaceful, and
regulated by etiquette; a quiet, sedate demean
or, absence of hurry, resttulness, form rather a
part of their luor&l obligations, for the body
must be maintained in a state of quietude that
the mind may be in perfect equilibrium. A
well-instructed ‘orthodox’ Mussulman woman
admits to herself all this aud more; she recog
nizes the reason ot her seclusion within the shel
tering walls of the harem, to be due to a tender
solicitude that she may be shielded from the ef
fects of disturbing influences in the world with
out, and may follow the bent which one mascu
line miud only imposes on her.

Dlt. M. W. CASE’S
LIVER REMEDT
AND
BLOOD PURIFIER.
TONIC te CORDIAL.
This is not a patent medicine, but is prepared
under the direction of Dr. M. W. Case, from hi3
favorite prescription, which in an extensive
practice of over 27 years, he has found most
effective in all cases of disordered liver or im
pure blood. It is
ANTX-BZLIOUS.
It acts directly upon the liver, restoring it,
■when diseased, to its normal condition, and in
regulating the activity of this great gland every
other organ of the system is benefited. In
Blood Diseases it lias no equal as a purifier. It
Improves digestion and assists nature to elimi
nate all impurities from the system, and while
It is the cheapest medicine in the market it is
also superior to all known remedies. While it
is more effectual than Blue Mass, it is mild and
perfectly safe, containing nothing that can in
the slightest degree injure the system. It does
not sicken or give pain, neither does it weaken
the pationt nor leave the system constipated,
as most other medicines do.

It is an excellent corrective of indigestion. I ha.»
used it with prompt beneficial results.
Rev. Leroy M. Lee, D D , Meth. Hist'n.
I am never without it. at hnmeor abroad. It is an anti
dote to Indigestion. Uneasiness after a meal or purging
is checked and the bowels regulated, ts merits sire at
tested by cumbers and l ig'i character. I have seen a
‘■tried everything” dyspi ptic of fifteen years relieved by
one dose.
Rev. Prp. Jeter, Broaddus, Dickinson, (Ttap.)
It ia endorsed by the direct personal testimony ot men
of national tame and of strictness of speech. It is not
too much to say that no medicine ever had such snpport
in its favor as a Specific. The word ot any , 1 the imi-
nent divines who underwrite this antidote to dyspepsia
has deserved weight. Their united witness joined with
the experimental use and approval of the preparation by
well-known physicians, removes all doubt. It iR, beyond
question, a wonderful therapeutical agent.—Editors Re
