The Farm and Household. THE FIRST REQUISITE. It is a rare compliment to pay any woman to say that she is an excellent housekeeper. Solomongives us in the last chapter of Proverbs a description of such a housekeeper, and the spirit of it is one that holds good in all ages. The very first requisite of such a house-mother is that “she looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness.” No house can thrive that is left'all to the management of domesties,

“She that would thrive most prosperously, herself must every corner see.” It is these little wastes that eat up the largest incomes, and no. one can see where the money goes. | As soon as a housekeeper detects a leak in the ship, let hier set to work to stop it. ‘Make a point to save in that one thing, and she will have gone a long ways toward establishing a’ habit.— Carefulness in one thing will lead to a similar prudence in others, 1t will help to open one’s eyes to what was once wasted. If, when the meat comes in, care is taken to cut off every particle of superflugus fat before it £oes into the pot or oven, and then at once place the fat in a dripping pan, _with a little water in it, and also set it in the oven to fry out the fat, a valuable basin: of drippings can be saved, and always had in readiness, which will be a great saving in the aatter of butter and lard. The meat, too, will be greatly improved by having this fat taken off before it is cooked. This one item’ would make dollars of -difference in the expenditure of many families, if it were properly attended to. | y

A good housekeeper must be accomplished in the many little arts, ‘which go so far toward making home attractive. " A French cook can contrive a bountiful dinner out of the scraps of cold meat on a joint, a dish of stale bread, an egg or two, and a sixpence worth of vegetables. I have known many a thriftless woman to throw as much into the swill barrel—women whose husbands worked hard to bring in the home supplies. | f No wasteful woman, whether in high or low life, can be a good housekeeper—nor one that does not see the ways of her house-—howeyer many helpers she may have to carty out her plans.—Cor. Country Gentleman.

WHY DO EGGS SPOIL ? ..We find lining the shell a thick skin, which, when kept in a healthy condition by the albumen of the egg, is impervious to the air, but if the egg remain too long in one position ‘the yolk, being heavier than the albumen, gradually sinks through it, and having none of the qualities requisite for keeping the skin lubricated and healthy, it soon bécomes dry and pervious to the air,’ which penetrates through it 'to the .yolk, causing the mass to rot. Therefore the true plan is to keep the yolk in its central position. By doing this the egg. can be preserved for a long time. My plan for accomplishing this is to take a keg or barrel and pack thé eggs on their sides, end to end, laying a tier first around next to the staves, and so continuwe until a layer is filled; and so on until the barrel is full. Use oats' for packing; jar them down as much as is necessary to Keep them firmly in their places; then head up the barrel ready for market. By rolling the barrel about a quarter of the way around every few days the yolk of ‘the egg will l{e kept as required. By making chalki marks#across: the head of the barrel at right angles across each other you will have a guide for rolling the barrel as required. When eggs are packed in large quantities for market I think this plan will be found convenient and safe.—-Cultivator.

OAUSTIC LIME FOR INSECTS. There are féw insects that can withstand & dose of freshly slaked lime. We always keep a guantity of it on hand ready for sprinkling over Elea.nts infested with slugs or hugs.of any kinds, and it has always proved effectual when used at the right time. Last year the white pine worm attacked nearly every pine tree on our place, but two or three dustings of lime, when the trees were wet with dew, banished or destroyed this pest, which in a few - days, if unchecked, would have stripped every leaf from our trees. The asparagus beetle appeared upon our beds of this' vegetable in countless numbers, but a few doses of lime have made them leave, and the plants look healthy | and- vigorous at the present time. ‘We have driven from our garden the rose slug, cabbage flea, and numerous other pests, by the use of this same material, and we never have observed that the plants were damaged by its use.” A correspondent in the West says that he has entirely checked the ravages of the Colorado potato bug by freely using lime upon the plants, and we have no doubt that others might be equally successful by # persistent use of this material.— Lime is so cheap that no one can object to its use on that score, and even if' it fails to kill the " insects, it will usually do the land good wherever it is applied.—Hearth and Home.

INFLUENCE OF ODORS ON BUTTER. Butter kept in a room over night with the family (in winter,) is not fit to use. It has absorbed so much of the odors that it has become foul.~e The taste of the bad air is plainly perceptible. But cover your butter plate (nat an old one) with a tight dish—say a thin basin, and. your butter will be found much the same as when- placed there, It is, however, only perfect when kept—not occasionally put—in fresh air. Housekeepers take note when once tainted it can never be cured, but tenaciously holds all it has, and gets all it can. Like charcoal, or gypsum; or earth, it is a powerful absorber. From the time it is gathered in the cow until it is eaten in the family, the greatest care must be given to the lacteal produét. Not only that, it reaches still farther; the food,the water, must- not possess the odor. But generally the worst is in theé vessels and the atmosphere that comes in contact' with it. These at least, if impure impart their impurity, however pure the milk may have been before.— Western Farmer. :

TO CAN PEACHES, Pour boiling water over the peaches and let them stand for fifteen minutes then take a napkin and rub off %the sking. If you degire them in halves the stones can be taken out by cutting - round each peach. But if this is done crack a dozen or more of the peach stones and take out the kernels. Pour boiling water. over them, and rub off i pking. To each quart jar of peaches ‘add three or four of these kernels, and the fruit will be better flavored. To every pound of peaches take half a pound of white sugar. Melt it with a teacup of boiling water. Let it boil up and skim it well. Add the peaches, and let them boil for ten minutes, or less if the fruit softens quickly.— Often one boil up is quite sufficient.— - Skim out the fruit into the glass jars, treating them as for tomatoes. Add the kernels, and screw the covers tightly in place. Glass jars are much better for all such purposes than those made of tin, and render them unhealthy. -

A BATTLE IN THE AIR. ; Terrific Combat Between Two Rocky l Mountain Eagles. l “A most terrific battle between two birds,” says the Virginia (Nev.) Mountainian of August 14th, “occurred between two large brown eagles in the vicinity of the' lakes above Virginia, Tast Wednesday evening. When first noticed, the birds: were -soaring, one above the other, at an altitude of perhaps three-fourths of a mile, and seemed on a sail for pleasure. Presently the uppermost bird, closing its 1 broad wings, shot downward like a meteor for two or three hundred feet, : and with a wild, piercing scream Tlit fairly upon the back of the other bird. | Turning with the rapidity. of lightning, the victim cluteched his adversary with talons and beak, and a fierce struggle ensued. The savage yells, the striking of huge wings, and showers of falling t’eathers;]ga,ivq unmistakable evidence of the “ferpeity with which the battle was waged. - “As they fought they fell earthward, and when within five hundred feet of the ground they became disentangled, and each swooped upward again.— Now followed an interesting trial as to which ghould first gain a suflicient altitude to make another plunge. The cireling of the smaller was rapid and close, while that of his antagonist was made with greater limits and his accession was. quickest accomplished. The larger eagle was soon fully onehalf mile high, and some hundreds of feet above his victim. Tlovering in mid-air for a moment, as if making sure his aim, he again darted down upon his enemy, striking him as before with a force that seemed sufficient to kill of itself. Again they grappled and fought like winged demons—whirling, falling, and striking furi-' ously for the space of two or three minutes. They were now near the largest of the lakes, and gradually descending to the water. The struggle of the smalley hecame less and less fierce; he was igetting weak, and was evidently nearly vanquished, while his powerful aggressor seemed. to wage the battle with increased vigor, : “Another moment and the conquering monarch loosed his hold, and !with an exultant shout of victory soared upward. ' The battle was ended; his prisoner, limp and lifeless, fell into the waters of the lake with a splash and floated on the surface without a struggle. We, with our companion, tried to get the dead eagle, but were unable to do so without swimmming for it. Both birds were of very large size, the larger measuring, we think, fully twelve feet from tip to tip. The ‘spectacle was exciting in the extreme, and it does not seem possible for one to kill the other in so short a time, i although the fighting was terrific.”

' A $2,000,000 Church. The project of the Protestant Episcopal Church of New York to erect a grand cathedral at an expense of two million dollars 'elicits various comments. Among the opinions thus far expressed, we find the following from the IHuntington Herald a little nearer our way of thinking than anything we have seen yet: “A two million dollar church in a city full of homeless, friendless, starving men, womén and children will be a fine commentary upon the state of societysin some quarters of the country. It seems to us that there is something very wrong in the idea of piling up $2,000,000 worth of stone, and brick, and stained glass, in which to worship a God whose son ‘was born in a stable. Solong as there are thousands of people in New York who are unable even to read the Word of God, these costly church edifices were better- left unbuilt.”

' . Hydraulic Criticism. ' The Baltimore Gazette thinks Longfellow’s génius has faded. It says:— “Time was when he could dip.a little water from the sacred spring, but now the fountain flows up more for him.— The wheezing of the pump alone is heard, instead of the gush of poesy we have only: the dry hiccough of imperfect suction.” » - —— A dispatch from Indianapolis of the 4th inst., states that a decision has just been rendered in the case of Judge Davidson against the Auditor of State. It will be remembered that on the 10th of March the Legislature passed an act increasing the salaries of all members of the judiciary in the State. The Auditor refused to Judge Dayvidson, of Fountain county, the increase from the Ist of January to the 10th of March, which "was asked, whereupon the Judge applied to the Superior Court at Indianapolis for a writ of mandate compelling the Auditor to pay the advance asked, Judge Perkins heard the case last Thursday, and ordered the mandate to issue. This settles the case.of thirty-six circuit judges, fve supreme judges, four eriminal judges, ~and{ﬁln‘ve superior judges. % ‘W%I svl & Q——— - "SCANDAL.—The story is told of a woman who freely used her tongue to the scandal of others, made confession to the priest of what she had done.— e gave her a ripe thistle top, and told her to go out in wvarious directions and scatter the seeds one by one. Wondering at the pennance, she obeyed, and then returned and told her confessor. To her amazement, he bade her go back and gather the scattered seeds; and when she objectéd that it would be impossible, he replied that it would 'be still more difficult to gather up and destroy all evil reports which she had circulated about others. Any thoughtless, careless child ‘can scatter a handfull of thistle seeds before the wind in a moment, but the strongest and wisest men cannot gather them again. ; e et 4 I ————— An enterprising young scoundrel named 'T. E. Miller has swindled the Lafayette banks out of about $ll,OOO, He came there less than a month ago and opened an office as a commission and produce merchant, About a-week ago he opened an account with the Indiana National State Bank, and on last. Thursday presented checks of leading business houses to the amount of $1 1,000, which were paid, and two days later found to beforged. The Indiana National will lose nothing, as the scamp left money enough on deposit there to make them good; the National State Bank loses-about $1,200, Wilson & Hanna about $l,lOO and the remainder, nearly $9,000, will probably fall on the First National. The forger has disappeared. = =

THERE have been some shocking stories told of Senator Hipple-Mitchell of Oregon; in fact, according to’ the. Western newspapers, his personal morals have heen in a most tattered condition. All this seems out of the purview of a political assemblage; yet, the Oregon Republican Conven. tion has just passed a resolution in which the Républicans of that State are made to say that they “neither ‘“apologize for, pass judgment upon “nor justify him;” but that they believe “he has outlived any imputation “cast upon him. This is cruel as wel] as. impertinent kindness; it is giving the Senator a ticket-of-leave for good conduct.—N. Y. Tribune. e

- THE local option laws now in operation in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and some other localities, have not, as was expected, caused any falling off in the collection of internal revenue from_ special taxes. ‘Some revenue officials report that even in cases wheré liquors are sold on the sly in back-rooms, in garrets ow in cellars, the special tax receipt is nearly always hung up in a eonspicuous place, and very few attempts to violate the revenue law are made, the dealer generally being satisfied with one wrong act, namely: selling liquor contrary to the local law. :

AN enviable reputation for keeping fine cloths, has been established by Engel & Co., of Kendallville, and the new stock which they are now receiving fully equals anything they have heretofore held. Their new patterns for fall overcoats are especially elegant and cheap, as also are their goods comprising' all the latest styles for pants, vests, business suité, and dress suits™ Their newlot of underclothing, too (it’s high time to put it on), should be seen, and likewise anything else in the line of gents’ furnishing goods.

THE farmers of Green county, Wis+ consin, evidently understand the importang art of putting things. After pronouncing in favor of a tariff for revenue only, they resolve “that a law compelling gne man to pay a tax to support the business of another, is nothing less than legalized robbery.” The gist of the whole matter is here viﬁorously stated; for of course the tax that is referred to is not necessarily paid to a collector, but may be paid as well to a merchant or other person in the form of the increased price of comiodities. ‘

The Grand Jury of the Criminal Court of Philadelphia brought the District Attorney, Wm. B. Mann, before them to answer to the charge of the larceny of certain bonds from the city Treasury, and the conipounding of felonies, to which he refused to answer, and which Le declared to be none of their business. The Court supports the District Attorney in his larceny and compounding of felonies. Mann stands at the head of a corrupt Republican ring which rules the city.

- A boy in Lockport, Illinois, who has just come into possession of his first shot-gun, amused himself by banging away at his father, who was greasing harness on the woodpile. The old man let him practice a few minutes, and then tanmed the youngster with one of the tugs until he conecluded to go out of the schutzenfest business.— Some parents nevercan let a boy have any fun. . 0 :

The American drink known as sherry.cobbler is said to have become very popular in Vienna, but the way the Austrians take it is amusing. Being naturally economical they club together and purchase a cobbler and then, with a straw, sit round the glass and absorb the contents with their noses almost touching each other. = Americans never put their heads together in order to dispose of a sherry cobbler.

The board of managers of the State expositon have played it fine on the ticket question. All excursion tickets over the railways to that city during the exposition have admission tickéts attached, and the admission fee is added and collected by the various railway ticket agents. That is decidedly a g&od idea. e e i One of the late boys, while reading a chapter of Genesis, paused to ask his mother whether the boys in the olden time used to do their sums on the ground. It was discovered that he had been reading the passage, “And the sons of men multiplied on the face of the earth.,” . Sl

A young man who enjoys the soubriquet of “Frank,” in parting with a young lady the other night, endeavored to impress his customary kiss, when she foreibly pushed back his head, and said, “No, sir, you don’t —the “franking” privilege is abolished.” |

Not long since a young Kentuekian paid his individual attention to one of the fair sex, and coneluded to pop the question. After much stammering and hesitation the young lad exclaimed, “I am partially engaged, but my mother wants to marry.” z

A young lady of Bennihgton, of a practical turn of mind, was invited by an Advent exhorter to get her white robe ready and prepare to ascend. ' “I can’t,” she replied ; “father and mother are going up, and somebody must stay to see to the cattle.” '

A Pennsylvania preacher, ; while holding service recently, gave thanks in a fervent prayer for the prosperous condition of the crops, “excepting, O Lord, the corn, which is backward, and the oats, which are mighty thin in spots.”
