rights which foreigners possess in China
have been won by an unceasing oonteet
with the antipathy and duplioity of the
Celestials themselves. They represent
‘ the results and the prize of the best of
alliances. Not a hundred years ago in-
nooent foreigners were surrendered to
. certain death in order that the Chinese
might not close one port of trade. Less
than half a century ago Euglish mer
chants were willing to hand over their
property to destruction in order to save
their lives; and therecord of intercourse
down almost to the present day is full
of passages of personal suffering and
national injury. The conditions of onr

If the plain facts in connection with the

greater will be the danger cf any un

foreigners into jeopardy of their lives.
The position of foreigners in China even
now rests on no surer basis than the as
sumption that their Governments col
lectively, and that of England alone
perhaps singly, are more powerful than
China, and that an anti-loreign policy
would be resented and resisted by them
all. We cannot be expected to sympa

action on the part ui France m Tonquin

less does division of opinion among the
Powctb weaken the position of foreigners.

was in size just deep enough to ho d

for a time among the poor or the very
old-fashioned, and died within a decade
after. Then for a while the ten-platers
conld be seen rusting in junk shops
until the foundries finally ate them
up.
And yet that there are some left is
shown by the eagerness with which they
are now searched for, aud the fact that
a small number have been found among
the Dutch in some parts of Pennsyl
vania. These have been purchased at a
song, bnt »re held at fabulous prices, a>
high as $130 having been paid to a col

Another singular objeet of interest
among the lovers of the old, simply be
cause of age and rarity, is old gnm
shoes; not the gnm shoe as known to
the present generation, but the gum
shoe as first introduced and worn by onr
fathers and mothers. Perhaps mns-
toPths of the ltvng of to-day in the
D ited 8tabs never saw one of them.
They were imported from South Amer
ica, principally from Brazil, and were
made by the Indians, casting the fluid
India-rubber in clay moulds shap-d
aomelhiug like a bn t. The outside was
then scored in some way with all sorts
of fantastic designs, the shoe smoked
till it was black and it was then fit for
exportation. These shoes were donbly
or more ti icker than ttioBe of to-day,
and it was a labor to get them on and a
worse labor to get theta off They were
much admired, however, by the boys,
who found that they cut n cely into thin
strips, which, when wound mo balls
and rolled and boiled, maue “bouncers”
that far eicelled the pruntive stur

old-fashioned india-rubber suoes are
now nearly as scatce as the fabled hen’s

Ancient and Modern OssrzB Cook-
nr—Concerning earlier and later
methods of cooking oysters, Mr. Joel
Conklin read before a recent meeting
of the Society of Old Brooklynites a
paper, ef which the subjoined was a
not uninteresting portion: “In early
days oyttera woe roasted on a gridiron
folly two feet square: tne back part of
it would rest on the back leg mid the
front on the faro stick, the oysters first
having been placed on it with their
hpllow sides down, The test to ascer
tain when sufficiently cooked was to
pecan the shells together with the
tongs and judge, from the escaping
steam, a knack which may readily be
aired. In roasting over a blazing
fire the flame would envelop the
is rind cook them equally well at
top and bottom. Those who have never
eaten oysters from the shell as taken
from theffre have yet to eat their first
really good roasted oysters. Although
over half a century ago oysters were
cooked in tbe regulation stew pan, yet,
until ooal was in more general use,
chafing dishes were mostly used for
Making stews, arid to this oay no meth
od baa been devised to make aa good a
soyter stew as can be cooked in a chaf
isk. Consumers who understood
business always preferred to man-
to their stews for themselves, after
having been provided with a chafing
dish and a spirit lamp ready far lighting,
tbe neoeosary table furniture and oon-
diements and the indispensable freshly
opened oyatere, without which a good

far infeller to the fry now
served, although then oysters of proper
size and quality for frying were much
more abundant than now. The oysters
ware either coveted with rolled cracker
or a heathenish mess was made by mix
ing them with batter, and in either case
they were usually cooked with lard.
Broiled oysters were then almost unat
tainable, and 1 used to hear it said that
oysters oould only be properly broiled
on a gridiron provided witn silver bars.
Oysters are much better broiled than
fried, especially for dyspeptics.

soil not only are the gases retained in
the soil, but more earbon is formed, and
this carbon has the power to appropri
ate the valuable gases always present in
the atmosphere. The great value of
clover as a fertilizer is due, first to the
earbon furnished by the decay of the
plant,and seoond to the fine mechanical
effect on the soil, which renders it por-
<;ii8, so that the atmosphere penetrates
it and deposits plant food. It ia clear
that better fertilizing effects will result
from the ploughing down of the crop to
tiecay in tbe soil. Ordinarily more can
be made out of tno tops than they are
worth for manure, and, if rightly man
aged, the toots will supply tbe needed
fertility.
Tee very beet thing to use in the
hen-house under the roosts, or to mix
with the contents of the vaults, is a
clear, sharp-cut sand,about such as ma
sons would use to make them mortar.
It absorbs all the valuable salts of both
liquids and solids, and does not bake or
cake up, and wnen it is to be used it
will readily yield the fertility from the
hen droppings and vaults to the plant
roots, or to the surrounding soil, where
the roots will find them. Sand contains
no fertilizing properties to any extent,
excepting potash, which is in the form
of silicate of potash; bnt the action of

To Ornament Oakes.—To make any
kind of oruameut tor uakes the icing
must be perttctly smooth, and is fit for
use when it retains a given shape.
Only simple tools are required for even
a rich ornamentation of cakes, and
practiced hands can accomplish great
things with a paper funnel This is
made like a grocer’s cone sugar bag,
with an opening at the point large
enough to admit of the required size
of ornament being forced through it.
The tubes of various sizes and shapes
are to be bought, to be fitted as nozzels
to paper funnels; those of French make
are the beet. To make a piping or a
running pattern on a eake, pat some
icing into a paper funnel, and holding
it in much the same manner as a pen,
press out, but not too near the point in
the desired pattern. This can be varied
by using a tin tube in the paper funnel,
very goon fertilizer for .all crops,though
more valuable aa a top-dressing for grass
and small grains, or to be used in the
hill for corn, than for root crops.
Clouted cream is made by heating
the milk to 180 degrees, and then set
ting it in the usual way for the cream
to rise. As is well known, the cream
comes up very thick. The cream is
very easily churned by merely beating
it m a bowl, when it makes a delicately
flavored butter, whlob will not keep
for more than a few days. Few persons
who write npon dairy matters seem to
have a right idea of the cause of this
thickening of the cream, and the pecu
liar quality and character of the batter
made from it. These depend wholly
upon the faot that the alnumen in the
milk is coagulated by the heat and rises
to the top with the cream,*and so adds
io its bulk as well as to its solidity.
This albnmen gives the peculiar flavor
o the butier as well as prevents it from
keeping.
A writer in an exchange says, that
be was truntiled with the smell of garlio
or wild onion in hia milk. To obviate
this he put the cows in the stable at
abont three o’clock each afternoon, and
ted on hay and gave their grain as usu
al. The resnlt was all he anticipated; a
rest oi three hours allowed this scent
to pass off in the other secretions, though
previously it very strongly flavored both
milk and butter. The same course
would probably be an advantage when
the milk tastes of other foul weeds in
the pasture.
Ie you wish any timber for any pur

The body of the tree is less full ot sap,

Persons desiring silkworm eggs
should bear in mind that, like every

give satisfaction unless from healthy
parents.

The dead leaves on squash vines

“Is he fast?”
“Fast? Fast is no name for him.
How far do you live from your office?”

I ears ago an inn was Kept at Am

known to laugh. This peculiarity gave
nse to a wager by a young man that he
oould make mine host laugh. He pro
ceeded to the hotel, and, sauntering in,
sainted the landlord tins:
“Good day, Mr. Warner. How long
have you kept this place, Mr. Warner?”
“Well, I’ve kept it all day. I guess.”
“Mr. Warner, won’t you make me a
rum or whisky sour?”
“The sours are all out,” was gruffly
answered.
“Will, just mix one pop, anyhow,
and look into it. That’ll make it sour
enough.”

tried H and Biffed and ooughsd. Spit
ting tbe first swallow out, he aparn ap
pealed to the landlord:
“Now wou’t you make another, and
just keep oneeye shut this time, please?”
The landlord, convulsed, broke out
into just one loud guffaw, the first laugh
fur a life-time. Then he invited the
young man to take a drink “on him.”
The wager was won.

A trifling addition: “Yes,” said

ative man. “Faot.” persisted Fogg,
“and what’s more, lie conld see just as

“Ain’t you stretching that a tittle, mis

was attacked with indigestion of tbe lungs,
soreness over the liver, severe pain in the
joints, a burning fever, and general giving
away of the whole system. Failing to fluff
relief in remedies prescribed, I tried yonr
“Golden Medical Discovery.” It effected
my entire care. Yonr medicines have only
to be used to be appreciated. If every fam
ily would give them a trial, nine-tenths of
the doctors would, like Othello, find their
occupation gone. Yours truly,

Dr. Kaiser described a process of
nickel-plating by boiling. A bath of
pure granulated tin, tartar and water is
bested to the boiling point and a small
quantity of red-hot nickel oxide is ad
ded, which, when dissolved, gives a
green color to the liquid over the grains
of tin. Articles plunged into this bath
in a tew moments acquire a metallic
coating of nearly pure nickel. Carbon
ate or tartrate of cobalt added to tbe
bath gives to tbe coating a light or blu
ish shade, and when polished it becomes
very brilliant.

from the yolk and white of an egg; but
such is the fact; and it shows bow com

digested, if not damaged in cooking.
Indeed there is no more concentrate,
and nourishing food than eggs. The
albnmen, oil, and saline matter are, as
in milk, in the right proportion for sus

Go to sotue good druggist and ask him
what he knows of Hunt’s Remedy, and he
will tell you that it is the best kidney and
liver medicine made, and one that has stood
the test of time. Look over most any paper
and you will find home testimonials ot people
living right in your own city who know
whereof they speak. Below will be found
one of * lady resident of Bridgeport, Conn.

Quo doubting the genuineness oi it has the

as she says, she wi'l be only too glad to tell
her experience with, and opinion of, so valu
able an article.
“I willingly give my testimony in favor of
Hunt's Remedy. I first heard of it a few
yean ago wh.le living la Springfield, Mass.
I knew a lady there who had suffered for a
long time with kidney disease. She used
everything she could hear of, but with poor
success, and finally hearing of Hunt's
Remedy began using it. Well, it cured her.
About this time I moved here. A.ter I had
lived here a time, from other sympathetic
disorders my kidneys became afiticied and
weak. Knowing that Hunt's Helpedy had
greatly beueficed mauy others 1 began using
it, ana it gave me thedesued benefit/ Were
I obliged to use any medicine of the kind
again I would preterit to ail others. I con
sider it a sure cure. ^
*Uf by the publication of this, my experi
ence with Hunt’s Remedy, others sutf ring
from similar complaints c* n be induced to
avail themselves of its good effects, you have
full liberty to do so in any way it may seem
to you. Grafftilly yours,
