Tfci Stay of i Coon Thit Drink Coffee and Tickled Cnildrea's Feet Hawks la Council A New Branswlcst Bear Story Flaying "Crown Up" Knotty Problems. A Coon that Drank Coffee ami Tickled Feet. Correspondence New York Sun. "While the following true history of this jcost rernarkable member of the almost unknown coon family may not greatly assist the naturalist in his researches, it may help to prove that this species of the brate creation i3 recessed of wonderful intelligence, and la thoroughly susceptible of complication. This coon was well known, if not reBrectef', in a large number of some of the most aristocratic homes of "Old Virginia," and there still livts many a man tf note thfre who can remember, and would tell j on, various incidents in his life. He was purchased from an old negro on the roadtide by a lawyer t,who afterward became one cf Virginia's most distinguished Judges), and was brought home for the amusement of bis children. Great was their delight as this strange visitor jumped from the carriage and dashed in among them. At first he seemed somewhat shy. as he stood taking a survey of his surroundings, but soon he made himself entirely at home. How long a course of civilization he had enjoyed in the cabin of his sable friend we ntver knew. He soon constituted himself one of the chief heads of the household, literally having a ringer in every pie, as his mistress knew to her cost, for she declared tt at he could dash into a store-room and taste more preserves and devour more delicacies than any child in the land, lie was specially fond of coilee, a large cup of which, well sweetened, was daily p'aced on the dining-room floor, and this he always drank before eating his breakfast. His imitative powers were remarkably great. On one occasion and often afterward on seeing his mistress place a basin of water on the Moor In which she washed her hands, he dipped his paw3 la, rubbed them well together, and then wiped tfcem on the towel as she did. On another he watched her as she sewed, and when she placed her work on a chair he went to it and pulled the needle through with his teeth we children of the nursery always believing, and so it is handed down to this day in old Virginia as a tradition, that he also stuck his paw into the thimble. So mischievous and troublesome did this beloved of the young folks' heart become that, hard as it seemed, it was determined, in family conclave, to present him to a neighbor and great admirer who had long looked upon him with envyinj eyes, lie was present, as usual, during these arrangements, when the lady caressed him and agreed to send for "His Majesty" that evening. "When the messenger an i red the coon was nowhere to be found. The visiter joined with weeping eye3 in the search, and after all his usual haunts had been explored in vain the old negro butler at last discovered him in the attic, a place which he had rever been known to go to before, hid under the contents of a clothesbasket, and when the effort was made to take him cut he clutsg with such all'righted pertinacity to the sides of it that our hearts failed up, and we could not banish him. Still another incident in his life and this the young folks ever considered a "practical joke" on his part. It was exercised upon an elderly maiden ledy who had incurred hia displeasure. He went to her house entered her room, and quietly ensconced himself in her feather bed, his head resting npjn her pillow ! Great was the commotion over th'.s shock to the old lady's nerves. The coon was not a very reverential coon, and many were the reprimands given to the children during prayers which properly belonged to their four footed friend, who made ft a joint to po around and tickle the feet of each one in rotation. His self appointed task it was to awaken them in the morning, at about the same tour, rufhiBg into the nursery, jumping upon the beds, burying his nose under the children's throats, pulling at the covering, nor "would he be comforted" until he got them up. He lived, it is thought, far beyond the usual span of a, coon's existence, dying of sheer old age, partaking to the very last of his daily cup of coflee, and otherwise receiving such dainty attentions as his loving friends could bestow. A New Brunswick Bear Story. A New Brunswick correspondent of Forest and Stream tells a story showing the power ot the human eye on the lower animals. He wiites: Jlr. Braithwaite, a" noted hunter here, when out in the woods a few days ago, went into a cedar swamp to look for railway sleepers. . He came directly on a bear with her two cubs. The cubs on seeing him gave a squeal, and the mother immediately rushed toward him with a growl, showing her teeth. Mr. Braithwaite, not having any weapon with him, stood still, and fixed his eyesonthe she beat. He then commenced Lacking out, feeling his way carefully with one foot at a time. At times she would try to get behind him, when he would swine; his body around, keeping his eyes all the time steadily on her, never for an instunt removing them. Ehe held him in this way for nearly two hours, and did not leave him until he backed out to the brow of a hill adjoining the svamp, when she left him and went to Ler cubs. lie says that in all his experience be never had such a fright, and Lopes never to be placed in such a position again. He was completely worn out, and nearly fainted as soon as the bear left him. He feels quite certain it would have been the last of him bad he stumbled or taken his eyes oft from her. Hawks In Council. The -Agriculturist relates a story which may help to solve the problem "Whether birds confabulate or no." At least, the story seems to prove that even among birds wisdom abides in counsel: "A party of summer visiters at Klberon, N. J., were one day very much surprised at the sagacity of a Mock of tisb.-b.awks. One of these birds, beicg mistaken for a barn-yard robber, was shot at while perching on the tcp branch of a tree. The ball struck the bird in his wing, and he dropped, fluttering and screeching, from bouga to bough, until be contrived to clutch at a strong forked brancb, and rested there. AU day long be sat uttering piercing Creams, and the next morning was found to have gathered round him a large circle of hawks, probably his friends and relatives, who seemed to be holding a council. Each in turn the birds chattered busily, as if giving advice or proposing plans of relief, while their wounded brother eeemed to listen eagerly, and now and then put in a word. The approach ot human beings produced the greatest consternation among the birds, but they did not fly away.' and desert the disabled one. "The sportsman came again into the orchard, with the intention of putting an end to the poor creature's misery with another ball, but he was easily persuaded to wait and see what the birds would do. An immediate result of the meeting was the ieeding of the prisoner, several members of tie rescuing party flying to the ocean and retnrning witli f sh In their claws. It was easily seen, however, that the nearness of the tree to the house, and tke lowness ot the branch on which the wotuvied bird was crouched, caused the greatest anxiety, and even after the invalid's hunger was satisfied the other birds kept flying away singly and in parties, while others still perched on the trees seemed to be waiting the messengers' return. "It was so evident that some plan had been made that a number of ladies brought iheix tredJwprk juto. the orchard, ani

stayed waiting to see what was going to be done. "The hawks were very quiet all day, except that the sufferer uttered an occasional sound as it moved uneasily in its leafy bed. while the watchers replied in low, soothing tones, as if with words of pity or encouragement. Toward sunset a single hawk appeared on the scene, then another, and another; a great chattering began, and the excitement increased as the messengers kept returning in twos and threes. The wounded bird raised itself as much as possible from the branch, and seemed joyfully expectant, while the others Hew around it gayly. "After a minute a loud Sapping overhead was heard, a flock of hawks appeared, and in their midst a giant hawk a bird much larger and stronger than any of the rest. For a few momenta it perched upon the topmost branch of the tree, then started up and began circling about, coming lower, and nearer to its wounded brother, until, suddenly swoopir g, it grasped the latter in its claws, and, raising him gently from the bough, soared away with him triumphantly. "The other hawks followed, leaving the spectators overwhelmed with astonishment. They didnot doubt that ths hawk was being carried to some safe, retired spot, where he could be fed and waited o'n until his wound healed." r laving "Grown Up I Pittsburg DiSDtca.1 "Let's play grown-up folks," said little Mabel. "All right:" responded Mary and Susie. "What shall we do first?" "We'll play calling on each other. But I guess one of us will have to be the little girl. I'll be Mrs. Brown, and, Mary, you'll be my little gii? Then, Susie, you'll be Mrs. Jones, and you'll call on me." After Mary had objected very strongly to beirg the little girl, and had been satisfied with a promise that next time she should be the lady, and Susie should be the little girl, Susie inquired. "Hut what shall we do when I call?" "Why, we'll act just like grown-up ladies do." siid Mabel. "When you come in, SuBie, we'll be awful glad to see each other, and we'll kiss, and then we'll sit down. Then you'll look at Mary, and say, 'Little pitchers have big ears.' And then I'll say, 'Mary, dear, run down to the kitchen and see if there isn't something you can do to help Jane.' " A Story of the Waiden Hermit. The following story is related of Thoreau, the Concord hermit, and Mrs. Emerson, wife of the philosopher-poet : Thortau wa9 once called upon by Mrs. Kmeror, whose flower garden was being Ecratthed up by the hens, to help her devise seme plan to prevent further damage. After a consideration of ways and means, Mrs. Emerson hit upon the expedient of putting licen g'oves upon the feet of the gallinaceous vandals. Thoreau, who had a been sense of humor, restraited the laughter which was nearly choking him, and gravely, under Mrs. Emerson's direction, bandaged the claws of the assembled barn-yard in stout linen cloth. For an hour or so the fowls did no harm, and the Emerson household was greatly pleased. Finally there was heard an exultant crow. The rooster had scratched through his bandag8, and was triumphing over his exploit, ihe hens followed suit, and Mrs. Emerson was reduced to despair, while Thoreau went to the woods, where he could let hia laughter have Tent.

THE ART OF COOKERY

A Glimpse it Urs. Emma P. Ewin's Kitchen at Plj mouth Church, Folnta of Instruction Contained In the FrellmlDSvry Lessons to the School How Good Things Are Hade. A poet and, more than that, an honest man haa confessed that civilized man may live without society and books, but not without cooks. lie has gone farther than that, and, ascending to a higher point than amatory rhythm, haa asserted that the human male may also manage to travel cheerfully through life without love, "for what is loye but pining?" but that he can not "live without dining." The poet was in advance of his time; the sanguineona flush of the digestive capillaries was held to be less poetical than the same capillary exaltation on a maiden's cheek. But time haa vindicated him, and now, just stepping across the edge of the horizen, comes a representative of that be-poetized sex teaching a higher poetry. She teaches her sisters how to manufacture sonnets to their husbands' stomach?, odes to his palate, and to make the great work of his life a felicitous epic of loving cookery. Pj ramus and Thisbe, Hero and Leander, Romeo and Juliet were but the first crude perceptions of the real sentimental lelations between the sexes. A higher ligdt is shed on this subject of historic misconception and a new dispensation is being taught. The teacher, Mrs. Km ma P. Swing, holds that the pediment of man's heart is his stomach, and according as the latter rises and falls to the exquisite rythm of a gcod dinner, so the former goes into a hyptrtrophied state of love and rapture as much superior to the half-blooded love of the worthy ancients named above as is Jove attra collation of nectar and ambrosia to the prodigal son with carcass filled with rrattrefs Etuiling. Anew ptüosophy always meets with advocates in Indianapolis, and the fact that this newest philosophy is correct has not yet injured its popularity among that sex whose mistaken province it has hitherto been to look sweet instead of making sweet things. The practical lessons of IJrs. Earing at Plymouth Church are attended by a bevy of beauty; a gas stove and little loves of pans are the utensil?, and the daintiest edible, "cooked while you wait," demonstrate that there is a practical side to ail the lady's theories. The lesson of Wednesday was on breadmaking. This is an art by no means con temptille; bread has its victories no less renowted than cake. The Hour, yeas', salt and water were all physically present, and with these the teacher began to conjur the products of her art. '"The object," sail she, is to develop the tlavor of the wheat. We want no iiavor of the yeast in the bread, no marked salty taste. Asa rule it may be said that salt develops the Ha vor. I have here in my hand (exhibiting the same) a half pint cup of sweet milk. Here is some boiling water. I add an eiual quantity of water to the milk. This will produce a 'retting'" of sufficiently high temperature. Now, the most important principle is the yeast. I take a half ounce cake of compressed yeast to my pint of wetting. The compressed is better than any other form of yeast because it contains more j east germs. A chemist says that a small quantity of compressed yeast contains from three to twelve billions of yeast germs, and neater the latter than the former number. I put the wetting in a crock, and then put in sifted flour. I add flour until we have whit is termed a sponge. I now put in the yeast, thougn 1 do not know that it makes any difference whether we put in the yeast before or after the Hour. It is time now to stir tke bread dough. This should be done at a temperature of about seventy-five dprees. It is better to mix at a lower than a higher temperature than that. I3s careful of too much heat." The quantity of Hour to be used depends on the quality. The dough should be worked to the proper consistency, which can be discovered only by working it. If measurements had to be given, she would say about two and a half pounds of best patent flour to a quart of wetting. Lard was simply an abomination when the bread was meant for Christians. The dough should be elastic not flabby. Potato yeast was not viewed with favor. Potatoes did not lose their quality by being a part of the yeast, and they spoiled quickly, even after they had been incorporated in the bread. Same dough, made previous to the lecture, was put in the long, narrow pans and baked, cautions being given the whIe about the exact temperature necessary. The oven should be about at a temperatme erf 400 and the bread should be left in abtut three-quarters ef an hour. When done, it should net, if placed on the hand, feel more than uncomfortably warm. On Thursday the scholars were given a practical demonstration of soup making. It W8S noted that the fashionable accompaniment for soup waa no longer crackers, but soup-sticks, a long, narrow stick of bread, which is consumed by the yard. Much was said about soup stock, which is really kept in stock, and is a sort of base for most fantastic soups. It is a Haid extract of meat and bones. The average beef soup-bone is about one-half meat and one-half bone; the nutrition comes from the lean meat; the irinciple that comes from the bone is flavor; marrow comes to the top of the soup and is used in drippings; we also get gelatine from Ihe bone; it is thickening, but probably has no nutrition. Tut the properly preiarcd meat in the pot. The amount of water to be used depend upon whether you want the soup rich or delicate. My rule is to cover the meat with cold water. The juices that come out of the meats will add as much fluid to the s-up as the evaporation removes. We want to draw out the juices, and for that reason, instead of putting it in not waterwhich would drive the juice in we put the meat into cold water. Let it come to a boil, tien let it simmer until the meat is ready to drop off. The flavor depends largely upon the freshness and quality of the soup bone and the care used in making the slock, het the meat slowly simmer for, say, three hours. It is supposed to be true that the toughest part of the meat has the best tlavor. A tough old hen will make good toup. "There are only five kinds of soup. Soup steck: may be prepared from niutton, beef, chicken, game, etc. If you take this stock and stason it, you have plain soup a simple broth. This (plain soup) is the first clais. Take this plain soup and clarify it and you hve the second kind clear soup. Now put vegetables into either of these and you have vegetable soup. This is the third class. The fourth class is made from something delicate. It is white soup. In this we use a delicate meat veal, chicken, etc. The white scups are not only more delicate than others, but they are distinctive, both becanEe milk is used, and nothing that will destroy the delicate flavor designed. If you mix all of these four classes you have the fifth class mixed soups. This is a very larjre clafs." 1 1 For clarifying the soup the white of an egg was used. But the lady suggested that clarified soup waa less nutritious and less palatable than the article un tampered with. Vegetable soup could be made by adding canned vegetables to the stock. The lesson of FriJay attempted one of the moLt delicate of the culinary accomplishments that of frying. The principles were as uaual illustrated by eminently successful experiments. Said the instructor: "There are three necessary considerations in making a perfect fry. The first is that the temperature of the oil or fat in which the frying is done should be so hot that it will instantly cook the outside of the material. It should be hot enough to cook the albumen. When the fa is hot enough to brown a slip of potato it Is hot enough to do your cookrrjg. Boiling heat in fata ia higher than frying heat, vet lard and fata bubble and sizzle J long before the boiling point. A piece of T--s4 A t S I aia ft VMSIWbT 4 vaa fArvt Yin .

We may use the lard for frying seven or eight times. Chemists say that it then undergoes a molecular change, and that is the reason I give yon for saying that the grease thould no longer be used. The refuse may be used in making soap. The second important consideration in frying is the quantity of fat. Enough oil should be used to entirely submerge the material to be fried. The shape or form of the food should also be considered. I have here a French scoopknife with which I can dig out small, round pieces of potatoes from large ones that will pass very well for new potatoes in midwinter." The lesson also included the frying of chicken, and the lady said that a chicken a year old or under was a practicable subject for the frying pan. If the chicken was coated with egg-batter aud crumbs, it might be skinned, otherwise the ekin should be left on as the juice might escape. The lesson for this week are: Monday, salads; Thursday, roasting; Friday, boiling. ABOUT PROMINENT PEOPLE.

Owikg to the popular reverence for education, and because the interests of education may be pleaded to justify any grant of money or power to those having them in charge, greater extravagance, mismanagement, and corruption have found their way into the administration of the school systems of the country than into any other department of the Government. The necessities of the schools appear to be a conclusive and convincing plea in favor of any degree of profligacy or fraud. How reform in school administration is to be had is one of the growing problems of the time. It must come or the school systems will tumble to pieces of their own rottenness. Chicago Journal.

I was taken with rheumatic fever, and fr fire weeks was not free of it It then settled in my left foot, where it remained for about four weeks, then it removed to my hips, shoulders aud neck, alio my collar bone, where it remained until relieved by Athlophoros, previous to the use of which I tried the skill of fire physicians, and no relief; then I resorted to the use of different remedies, external and internal, but grew worse all the time, until the 1st of October, 18?4, when my druggist recommended Athlophores. I took a bottle with but little faith. Up to this time my wife had to help me wash my face and help me out of bed. From thirty to forty five minutea was asoDg as I wa? able to sleep at any one time, so intense was the pain. At 2 o'clock p. m. I took the dose of Athlophoros, and continued till three doses was taken. The first cue pave me much relief, the second gave tneh ease that I was euabled to talk freely with comfort with my family and friends, the third enabled me to leep four and a half hours without waking. I continued the use of the medicine until fourteen bottles were taken. By this time my health was so improved that I leftofl' the medicine, which was in December, 1S34, and now am well. Rev. 8. II.
