SELIM, THE FORTUNATE.

[The followin% tale was related to the author by Dr. I ar})lln, of Robert Colleze (Bebec), many yeats ago, while staying \{tibh him at th beautiful‘lsland or Khalki, in the Marmora Sea. After having prepared it for the piess, the author encountered.the utorK in Dr. Hamlin’s book, ‘* Among the Turks;’? “‘slightly altered and woven into a romance he now presents’it to your readers as he had previously prepared it. ] /

There is an old saying. so very old that, I fear, it is getting too old and feeble to be brought out much longer into public view, that Truth is stranger than fiction!- Nevertheless, it is a very true saying; and truth is such w strange thing in itself, that I believe it never does get really shaky and feeble on its legs, but grows, und grows stranger and stranger every day, till it comes fo the very end. Now the story I am going to tell is true; and it happened some seventy or eighty years ago, in a country far from here, where the people and ways are quite different from our own. Turkey, you know, is a great way off, and Constantinople is its Capital. Here dwelt, at the time of which I gpeak, two boys, Johan and Selim. Johan was a youth ‘of Greek extractiom, ! with dark eyes, and noble, though somewhat melancholy ! features: His family was in the most humble circumstances; his father, a poor baker, scarcely managed to keep alive with all his efforts a large household, of which Johah was the eldest son. Selim, on the contrary, was of Arab, or, at least, Turkish origin.. His black eyes were fierce anid sparkling, ahere Johan's were mild and thoughtful; jand”in their evening conversations, when after the early -cTosin;_o' hours of business the two lads, who had formed a strong friendship for each other, could mect, Selim’'s animated tones and impatient gestures were in strong contrast to the gentle, listening attitude of the young Greek, as he f{uictly argued with his friend, who, to do him justice, generally gave way to J og:m‘s more moderate opinions in the end. -

Selim, young as he yet was, : was already a fine specimen of the Arab type. His beauty was like that of a graceful. young palm, the emblem of his native Jand,” and he gave evidence of the splendid future which he afterwards fulfilled, though now, indeed, his fortune was lowly and humble enough. An old Turk, thildless and kind-hearted, had taken compassion on the boy in his ntter destitution, and given him a home and occupation, jthe taking care of a little tobacco ‘shop, .where- his’ old master sold snuff and J)e'rfumcs. and chopped up the long golden threads for his customers of that pernicious drug that goes by the name of “Turkish tobacco.” . ;

. THe two boys were happy’ enough. | They loved each other with a simple though Oriental warmth of affection, and the few darting visits in the daytime which they could pay to each other across.the narrow street’ where Ahey dwelt, and the long conversations in the ecvening, when work was over, were suflicient for the tpres,ent; to satisfy the quiet routine of their lives. But as the da{s passed on the brow "of Selim grew clouded; and one morning as they wandered together by the shores of the beautiful Golden Horn, and watched the gliding boats and the srlendld piles of buildings fading under the getting sun Selim opened his heart to his friend. i ‘

‘“Johan!” he said, in his Eastern, }:assionate way, ‘“I can bear it no onger; the burden of my sorrow you must know. The friend of my soul shall counsel me and I will listen.”

Johan turned upon Selim his thoughtful eyes, ever l'ull of a wise though yonthtul consideration, but made him no answer. . Used to his friend's varying moods, he waited for a further explanation. - Imagine his astonishment as Selim proceeded! : - #llt is of no use, Johan,” continued ki'g companion, too muchsoccupied with hi 3 own thopghts to heéd that Eis friend had given him no reply, ““it’s of no use, Johan, my staying here where I am! ‘l'm wearied and tired to death of it. Not that my master is unkind; far from it. - I love him with all my beart as if he were m?' own father; and you, too, . my dear, dear Johan! but—but--I can endure it no longer, this life of inaction; this weighing pounds of tobacco . and ounces of snuff. No, dear Johan, I can ‘bear it no longer, and go I must!”’ ¢ “Go! Where?”’ gasped Johan. “Where? Oh, Johan, I wili tell you all. ‘Now that it is settled and certain I will tell you all, for I could not bear to do so before, lest. I should give you unnecessary pain. But to-night I have opened my heart to my old master, and "he has, though with many tears, given me his consent and blessing, anﬁ tomorrow MO'!” - 4 Gol ere?’ repeated Johan, too . much astonished and distressed to utter anything more. : : I will tell you. Not long a%o there came to my master’s shop a slave of the Pasha of G——. He ecame for some of that rose-attar, for which you know our shop has long been famous. I was writing as he entered. He eyed ' me sharﬁly, and when I ‘had served him and he left me, 1 perceived the bit - of paper in his hand, on which I had been copying as he came in. I'won--dered, but soon thonught no more of it. In a few days he returned: Mi'i master was again absent, yet ho w isgered gautiously in my ear that the Pasha wished to ;peuk with me. In the cve--4!!11%;;:01' told my master—l went to / go ha's Fhel.’ ‘He called for an ‘iik-horn, and made me write before him. .

| e and I confess I am well pleased, and so to-morrow I go!” PR And, as tlg‘; parted, the old Turk bestowed on Selim his blessing, and a Enrse of’%oldipieces. which hesmdjl ] oarded for liim s his adopted sdn:gg heir. But the parting with Johan I will.not stop to describe, only that the two boys made to each other a simple vow that, in | after Fears should they ever meet again, they would renew their youthfuifrieudshlp. and be true to each other| till death. How faithfully that yow was kept, the sequel will shortly tell. | ; Weeks passed, and months, and years, and ng tidings came of Sélim, for the East is not a land of mail-posts like ours, and friends must wait with longing hearts till chance or onportuni(('.{ brings them tidings of their belove And in the meantime, Johan grew mid-dle-aged. Hiis father died and left him in possession of his humble shop and trade; and finally Johan himself married, and a young family began to spring up arpund him. : _ - Things were in this condition, when suddenly one day in spring a Janissary made his appearance at the open shopdoor of the poor Greek’s bakery. A visit like this at the time of which we speak was ominous, for there are people still living in Constantinople who can well renmjember the outrages they have suffered from this band of desperadoes, who then controlied even the very throne! itself! Johan turned a ghastly white, for the soldier’s face wore no pleajing expression. Dashing ruflely aside with his foot a basket of lgaves, the Janissary approached the| terrified Greek, -and, laying his lmnh on his arm, bade him roughly quit his occupation and follow him. ol o

¢ Whither?’ asked Johan, trembling in every limh. '+ To the palace of the Grand, Vizier,” returned the soldier. - ‘“ And why must I go there?’ erigd the poor belkipr, hoping by his questions to ogtaiu somie clue to his misfortune, or, at least, 4 moment's reprieve. ; ““That’s none of your concern, nor miné either,”’ answered the brutal fellow. **What I'm ordered to do I do.. So come along and make no farther delay.”? . : )

Poor Johan! To him ‘the last hour of fate seeméd to have fully arrived. Of what erime or misdemeanor he had been accused he cpuld not imagine; but he knew enough to feel that it would make little difference with him; had-butsome secret cnemy accused him however falsely, his property and life must go to atone forit. = Yet amid all his distress, it still struck him as most strange that so insignificant, a ‘person as’ himself shoulng)c summoned beforé an officer 0 high and magnificent as the Grahd Vizier of the Sultan of all the faithful. It was in vain to question the Janigsary. He evidently knew as little as he cared in regard to the object of his commission; for with him, as he truly had said, it was but to hear and obey! So with a heavy heart Johan bade farewell to his weeping wife and children, aund prepared to take his way to the palace of the Grand Vizier. : He reacheil it at length. The double row of guards opened as he pagsed through the lofty corridors that led to the receptian rooms. of the building. Here he was ordered .to remain. I§e heard the retreating footsteps of his guide, and, after some moments of silence, ventured to lift his eyes and look around him. The hall was a magnifiicent one. 'The lofty ceiling, painted by luropean artists, - was -hung with resplendent lusters, whose glittering pendants struck by the sun Tight, seemed eath a mass of diamonds. From the dome above the light streamed down upon a floor of Mosaic workmanship:. The walls, affer the Mussulman fashion, were destitute of pictures, but in: their stead innumerable small mirrors, in every variety of arabesque, flashed over their surface, hung with satins of Bagdad and velvéts from the Persian looms, while a rich divan, or raised sofa, ctrcled the apartment. |

Johan stood amazed! Was he, asleep or awake? VWhy was he here? Surely it was a dream, or the magic spell of those genii of whose enchantments he had so often heard the story-tellers tell in the evening cafes, when he.and his beloved Selim wandered together/in their youth by the banks of the-Golden ‘Horn. And. Johan rubbed his eyes in the vain hope that he might awake and find himself once more in the dear old bake-shop at home. = =

But it was ne dream! An ominous sound startled him! Some one approaches! ' And, trembling in every nerve, Johan listened to the coming footsteps till he was conscious that a door has opened and shut at the farther enrd of the hall, and that heds no longer alone! Who is it, friend or foe? Johan scarcely bréathies: ¢ Nearer and nearer yet, till the unknown personage stands by his side, and the poor Greek isready to sink witly terror to the earth. * But a light touch falls on his shoulder, and the blood curdles in his veins with fear. It lingers, that light, gentle touch, and then creeps on and on, till an arm encircles his neck; a face bends down to hid, and a voice well-known (onde, and still well beloved) slides into his car: - ¢Johan! Johan! my brother! my beloved!- Knowest thou not who calls -thee?” 1t is the voice of Selim! Selim the lost, the found! Selim, the companion of his youthfu! days! Selim the old tobacco merchant’s boy! Selim the Grand Vizier! ! e

Wonders: of wonders! Johan staggered, and nearly dropped to the floor in his wild amazement. .But his old friend guided him gently to the divan, and, with a touch of his former spirit of frolicsome mischicf, seated the bewildered Johan nnknowingly in the place of honor. : g

But Johan paid no heed to that; at least, at first. He could only gaze with tears streaming down his cheeks at his beloved Selim’s face. And then, after the first moments of mutual joy had passed; the two bégan to converse. Johan had little to tell, and that little we already know, but Selim had a whole volume of wonders to pour forth. Let us condense his history. The young lad had followed his new master to his distant Pashalick, where his abilities, his honesty and energy had rapidly raised him to a hi%h position in his master’s household, till, like Joseph of old, he had at length come to manage and direct the whole course.of the provincial Government. The Pasha in time was deposed. The Sultan, ever watchful over his subordinates, had been fully advised of the conduct of the .young secretary; and. at the fall of the Pasrim, had appointed him to fill his place. 'At length there came a ministerial| crisis at Constantinovle; the old Vizier sank into disgrace and was/deposed; and Selim, whose administration as Pasha had greatly satisfied and pleaseil the Sultan, was summoned withithe highest praises to take his position, the most exalted in the Empire; and, again, like Joseph of old, second only to the King. st

““And now, Johan,’” concluded Selim, after all this. lon§ recital, for it had been a minute and a long one, *“Now, Johan, you see that 1 have remembered our youthful vow of faithful friendship, and now, dear friend, you must do me a favor in return.” >

, “I, Selim!” returned Johan, 'sadlg; “*What can so poor a_creature as I do for the mighty Grand Vizier?”

“A great deal,” replied Selim, with energy; ‘‘do you not suppose I have my own plans, t 00?. Do you not suppose that 1 am surrounded by bitter enemies, the partisans of the fallen ' Vizier, and that I need above all things ‘a true friend with whom I can advise and in . whom I can trust? Have I for. gotten,”’ he added, with again a touch of the old frolic of by-gone days in his voice, ‘‘how wise Johan wasof old! and where, pray, can [ find another Johan, and where shall Johan find another friend like me?"’ In short, it was soon settled. Johan, the poor baker, moved into the palace, he and Bhis family, and took up their abode with his fnen?, where, at first, 'ho filled the post of comfidential ad‘viser to the Grand Vizier; but as time on, he came to manage the entire 'hougehold and I)rinte affairs of his friend, as Sclim had done those of the old Pasha, and in honestéy and striet attention to his business .egfan t 0 amass 8 decent aomp‘etmcg for his old n&e. But the Bultan, who had had such an

gye for the excellences of Selim, was by no means blind to the talent and sterling good qualities of Johan also; and, as he perceived himself Killag ed on every side lpK those who had the management of his own household, he did not hesitate to rob Selim of the services of his friend and appropriate them to himself. So Johan became Purveyer and Majordomo to his Majesty, the Sultan, a source of profit which soon, though with strict honesty, filled his coffers with overflowing wealth. But though separated by their occupations through the day, the two friends sought every opportunity to t;‘a together at m%ht: and often in the eventide they would loiter through the palace-gardens and speak of the days so sweet of old, when they used to wander together and dream those dreams that youth so often indulges; and now, in truth, were those dreams more than realized; honor, wealth 'and an approving conscience, which alone can make the two former possessions worth the having—all were theirs. They mutually foved and thanked each other.for it; and, as each night they parted with the same old lingering fondness upon them, Selim would gaze in admiration on his wise and faithful Johan, and Johan would breathe a blessing upoun his noble friend —Selim, the fortunate!— William M. DBriggs, in the Golden Rule.

C'othing in Winter.

Much and serious harm is caused by the unwise practice of wearing summer clothing late into the autumn, and of assuming light outer garments and underwear so soon in spring as a warm day appears. The health in many cases is undermined by neglecting ({X‘GSS of proper warmth in early autumn. It is an error to supﬁose if thick clothing be worn in early Novenrber, that it must be much warmer in January. What will keep us comfortably warm in the damp chilliness of November, will answer perfectly well in the dry, clear ‘cold of winter. During early spring and late fall months, the very moist air is a' good conductor of heat, and in such weather the body loses warmth very rapidly, and becomes chilled if not. sufficiently clad. 1 cannot too strongly impress the fact that many lung diseases are contracted during these uncertain seasons by improper dress. @ The winter underclothing should be put onearly and worn late. If a day be very warm, the change must be made in the outside garments. A lady should carry an exura shawl, a gentleman should by no means leave his overcoat at home. If the temperature suddenly fall, both then %ave clothing wherewith to meet the change. Europcans dress more warmly than we, and have less catarrh, especially the Dutch, one of whose great physicians once said: = “Flannel should net be put off until midsummer's day, and should be put on—the day after.”? The fact.ls, as a people,, we'are impatie’nt with_a momen&z:.r_v discomfort in dress, and prefer the exposure of hours of chillto thirty minutes of a little too much warmth. Only physicians realize how vast is the harm which is brought about by our carelessness in meeting the changes of temperature in our fickle climate. Moreover the mucous membrane of the breathing apparatus—the nose, throat and bronchial tubes—quickly forms the habit of taking on a catarrhal condition upon slight causes. One cold leaves effects which dispose the parts atfected to repeat the condition. One catarrh leads to another until, perhaps, a chronic catarrh has become established. @A person may say, “*My lungs are ;}erfectly strong. 1 never have colds. lam not going to bury myself under clothing!”’ But this person has a weak heart, weak kidneys or weak bowels—is liable to rheumatism or neuralgia. , If then he ask his system to bear.too much c¢old,. he is surprised by an attack in the Wk locality or organ, and is at a loss as to its cause, for in other respects his life may have been. wise and careful. In such cases, the cost is paid by the sensitive organ. Every individual, therefore, should study his needs as to clothing. No precise system of winter dress can be established. Within certain limits, each of us may be a law_ unto himself, but must sce toil that the law s wise. Itshould invariably include the wearing of wool next the skin. But as to the remainderof the dress, requisite modification may be made in the é:lt,er. or, as the English call them, the ¢ upper garments.’’ ~ The practice of swathing the throat and lower portion of the face in cold weather is an error. Once begin this practioe, and it must be continued, thus ‘depriving the lungs and blood of much of the oxygen which is their food and life. There is no danger in exposing the face and throat, if the dress be equally warm, as high as it is-usua.llg worn. Button the outer garment hig up across the chest, and, unless it be found necessary to protect the ears, the garts above may be left to themselves. ut there is an exception to this advice. After speaking or. singing for a length of time on & winter's night, it is not safe to encounter and infiale a cold air, without first warming it: - This.may be done, not by wrapg:ng a heavy scarf, or by buttoning a fur collar about the ‘throat .and mouth, but by-folding a larie _handkerchief, tying the long ends togéther behind the neck, so that the broad portion may hang loosely in front of the chin. By resting the latterupon the chest, the breath is directed against the handkerchief,'and warms the air to be inhaled at the next inspiration. This arrangement accoraplishes the desired result, namely, the dprevention of the entrance of very cold air into a throat flushed and heated by vocal exercise. The mouth should be kept absolutely shut. Breathing must be performed by the nose, in which there are several warm, curved plates, which likewise assist in raising the temperature of the air as it passes through the nostrils. Talking in the open air, after using the voice for a whole evening in a hot room, should be stringently forbidden. The exposure of a heated throat to freezing air is the cause of much serious harm. I have known dangerous attacks‘ of throat and bronchial affections to follow sach an event.—-Dr. Hamilton oOsgood.

) Sister Pauline’s Basket. In an account of the quaint and . cuTious ways of the Ephrata (Pa.) Community, in the Century appears -this paragraph: : + We now crossed the meadow ground to take a look at the other large building, and on our way passed two dilapidated little dwellings, one of which probably is the one occupied for a leng time by Conrad Beissel, the founder of the Ephrata cloister. The second convent we now came to, designated as ‘Saron,’ or the Sisters’ house, is in its external appearance very much like its mate, Bethania—huge, oppressive and loomy, sheathed in black shingles, and ﬁotted with little square windows. The rooms and passages, however, are quite differently Rlotted. and seem to have been altered to suit’ the uses of more recent times. In one of the cells we noticed a huge hamper; itssize, in fact, compared with the dimensions of the door, was suggestive of the Chinese puzzle, the imtrisoned ivory ball, much too larﬁe for the apertures of the incasing cell. . How was this overgrown basket ever squeezed through so narrow an opening? It never was. An indus- } trious nun, bent upon doing some good | and vseful ‘work for the monastery, plied in her cell, for many days and ‘weeks, her busy hands, to weave for domestic needs that extraordinary } iece of wicker-work. She did not :giscover, until she had finished it, that it was much too large to dpass through the door of her cell, And so it remains there, in perpetuam rei memoriam.” ;¢ et ~~Snow Pudding.—Pour over three tablesrobntuls of cornstarou (dissolved in cold water) one pint of poiling water, beat whites of three eggs an ‘gour in earthen dish; steam ten minutes. auce: Beat the yelks of the eggs, one cup of sugar, one cup of milk, and mter size of a walnut; *boil till thick.

The Presbyterian Church in Walpole was the scene of a very amusing incident last-Sunday. It appears that the pastor, the Rev. -Frank B. Hamblett, upon entering his pulpit to proceed with divine service, was astonished. to find a clerical-looking stranger oceupying the same, and his manuscript spread out upon the desk. The pastor quietly inquired of the stranger his mission, to which he replied that it ¢ was all right.”” Supposing he had some cranky in%iv_idual to deal with whom it would be judicious to handle with care, he asked, in tremulous tones, whether the glfntleman intended to preach, to which the stranger replied that such was his intention, Casting an ql‘)ipealing glance for protection to the deacons in the ‘front pews Mr, Hamblett ventured to say that he was unaware of having invited any one to preach for him.

Lo e . o 0 The -s‘zua of Manuring. Customs and methiods chaigé &8 mueh in a-few years now as they ﬂg merly did in as many centuries, thanks to our books, and newspapers and agricultural literature, permanent and evapescent. And in these days we have brought manuring down—or rather up —toa fine art. It is the basis of a scicnce; thére are more scientific men studying thenature and uses of manure than are studving the heavens; and more agricultural experiment stations than there are astronomical observatories, and rightly so; for the Eeople’s bread and meat depend upon this very substance which we call manure. The world could not livée now, if the only manure we had were tillage. The farmers could not supply the ‘world with bread if they were obliged tosummer fallow a field every second year. If Mr. Smith's *‘Lois Meedon’’ system of alternate husbandry—a raodern reproduction of Virgil’s ancient method and nothing more—were to be practiced now, the whole world would be starving within a year. Tillage will not serve our needs now—and our attention ;must be closely and constantly turned to manure. ] :

And this leads us to consider what manure is. A farmer would say it was the production and contents of the barn-yard, the accumulated wastes of the farm, the dung and soiled litter of cattle. But this is only the superficial view of it. If we go deeper down into ‘the subject we . should say manure is anything that supplies food to plants, and whereby the farmer increases the yield of his crops over and above the, naflural capability of the soil. Tillage is not manure now. Manure is sometlxin% added to the soil to increase its fertility. It is a product of skilled labor. It does not come from the cattle so much as from the focd. The making -of manure is a branch of the farmer’s art which calis for niore deep and thorough knowledge of many things than the majority of other arts and manufactures. Not only must the farmer know all about the raw materials, the fodders and the foods which he uses, but he must understand the pbysiological characteristics of his cattle. Itis a rare thing to know that of so much food given to a milking cow or a fattenino steer the owner gets so much in milk and butter or tesh and fat, and so much ' in manure, -of which corn and grass can be made, and which, indeed, is merely corn and. grass from which some soluble matter has been iaken. The farmer who knows all about these things walks about his farm'as serenely and securely as the Captain walks his ship’s deck, who knows his charts by heart, and whose reckonings are all accuratelf made. Evyerything is plain to him. The end of all his work is clear to his minil's eye, and the path can be traced out as though it were plainly visible to the sight. " Manure is the key to successful farming, and when we say this we use the word with a far more extended meaning than belongs to the mere word in its - common sense. We ho!d that a knowledge of manure includes all the knowledge that appertains directly or indirectly tothe subject--a knowledge of the list of food substances which can be used as aliment for cattle; of the fod‘der ard food rations and the profitable use of them for making meat, butter, cheese, wool and all other animal products profitably, and leaving the most valuable residue for fertilizing purposes; of the proper manipulation of this residue; its mixture ‘with = ecrude, coarse and otherwise useless substances, and the change of these into. valuable composts; of the character and uses of artificial fertilizers, and of the application ‘of all these to the soil in the most effective manner. Here is a vast fund of knowledge, the coliection of which may well be the work of a whole lifetime, and much of which depends upon the most patient and laborious experi‘menting. But no man can claim to be a thorough farmer unless he has all this knowledge, in his head or in such stores of books and records as he can turn to at a moment’s need by the use of a complete index carried in_his mind. And every farmer should be as near to ‘a thorough farmer as he can, both for the pride in his art and for his own profit.— Henry Stewart, in N. Y. Times.

Frait in the House-Cellar, Many who would not keep vegetables in the cellar of the house make that a store-room for fruit without being aware that fruit is really the most unhealthful of the two. Winter varieties of apples, when gathered, are very bhard; if stored in the- cellar they sooner or later during the winter, according to the variety, become mellow and ready to be eiten. This change is really the beginning of decay, and the atmosphere is concerned in producing it. Not only does ‘the air affect the fruit, but the fruit in turn acts upon the air. Oxygen is taken from the air by the fruit, and carbonic acid is-given off. When fruit is‘stored in a room that is perfectly air-tight so much of the carbonic acid (a gas) given off accumulates that a candle is at once extinguished, and a man cannot breathe in the room.. The presence of carbonic acid, as it indicates the absence of oxygen, aids greatly in the preservation of the fruit. The poisonous properties of this gas are well known; wien it is mixed with the air in the proportion of one part to four such air is poisonous and will cause death; and a much smaller quantity will cause headache and a sense of weariness. While a lighted candle will serve as a'test for ts presence in dangerous quantities, a smaller and still unhealthful proportion cannot be »s 0 readily detected. When the cellar is used to store fruit, it is not practicable to prevent carbonic acid irom diffusing itself through the rooms above. It is better to store the fruit elsewhere.: A cellarundera grain-barn or other out-building, or a detached cellar, should be provided for storing fruit where practicable, as it is better 'both for the family and the fruit. But there are many cases ‘where the cellar of the house is the onlg' available place, and the fruit must be kept there, or not at all. Those who are obliged to do this should keep in mind the danger, and provide against it. Frait, as already stated, will keep longer, if the oarbonic acid is allowed to remain in the store-room, but the welfare of the inmates of the honse demands its wmoval. The cellar, if it contains any considerable quantity of fruit, must be ventilated.~ If thé chimney is so built that an opening can be made from the cellar into it, then the task is easy. 1f this is not praeticable, a pipe should be put through the floor, and connect with the cﬁimney in the room above tire cellar. The chimney should be one that has a fire in some part of it, or is connected with a stove, to insure an upward current. Usually cellars are not so tight but sufficient air will find its way in to replace that taken out by the ventilator; but, if there be any doubt upon this point, then provision must be made for letting in fresh air from without. A shutter that may be readily opened and ciosed, will allow of a frequent change of the air in the cellar. . The deleterious gas is without odor, and its presence is only made known by its unpleasanteffects. Much unexplained illness in country homes is due to the fruit in the cellar. It is not decaging matters only that are injurious, but fruit of the choicest varieties may cause illness. and be unsuspected. The house-cellar is sometimes used for storing cabbages; this is wrong; the odor is unpleasant, and they givc off much carbonic acid. Cabbages ‘keep well enough outside. —4merican Agricullurist. f et ) v - —Blood-spavins. ~The soft, guﬂy swellings in the neighborhood of the hock joint, are known as bog or blood spavins. Thgﬁré soft and yield easily to pressure. ey are caused by inflammation of the synovial membrane, and may be. bl‘ﬂﬂﬁ:‘t on by sprains or other in‘ju'tiaa‘. or by natural weakness and defect in constitution.

Cold water bandages, with lyrp-sure ;;;da, is the best treatment.—New York thtme, i P ik s : —Butter Sponge Cake,—Three ouips of sugar, one cup of milk, one spoonful of butter, three eggs, three cups of flour and two teaspoonfuls of baking powdeg o= ~

This treatment will cause the toughest steak to be tender and palatable. Pour off the vinegar before cooking it. --Pumpkin Pie.--Three tablespoonfuls stewed pumpkins, one tablespoonful flour, one egg, a pinch of sa't, a little ginger and any other spice to suit the taste: Be careful to put in so little ‘that the pie will not taste of any one in particular. Take out of the oven as soon as the pie is well-baked, which will be when it rises in an oval in the middle. -

—Smoky Chimaeys.—Trouble with smoky chimneys caused b their being used for two or more stoves, may be averted in most cases by inserting vertically in the flue a piece of sheef iron, dividing the flue in the center for about two feet above the point’' where each pipe enters, turning the boptom of the sheet iron under the pipe, so as to shut it completely off from the part of the flue befow'it.

—As to the manurial value of different cattle foods it is found that the oil cakes yield the richest manure, as they contain the largest amount of nitrogen and phosphorie acid, with a considerable amount of potash. Next.these beans and peas, malt dust and bran. Clover hay yields a richer manure than oats, wheat, barley or corn, while meadow hay stands before the cereal grains. The various grains and the roots, like turnips, carrots and Swedes, contain about the same proportion of nitrogen in their dry substance; the roots, however, supply much more potash. Potatoes stand below other roots in manurial value. Straw takes the lowest place as a manure-yielding food, bean and pea straw being more valuable for this purpose than the straw of the cereals. —Sheep should have all the salt they want at aFI times, and carefulshepherds place it in long narrow troughs or boxes under cover where the sheep can help themselves. But when you wish to feed sulphur, give the sheep salt twice a week, or once will answer; then mix in sulphur enough to ailow a teaspoonful to each animal. A little more will do no harm. If you have your salt troughs, then scatter sulphur over the salt and mix in a little once a week. Sulphur is an excellent preventive of scab, besides being a healthful medicine for sheep. When sheep are kept entirely on dryfeed during winter, they should also have Glauber salts fed them occasionally to keep the bowels open. A half dozen pounds mixed with a bushel of common salt will be -about right for a dose to your flock, and repeat every month, or oftener if necessary. --N. Y. San. '

—— O . Cheap D’shes, ~ The extreme drought has materially increased the cost of provisions, particularly everything' in the vegetable line, and the winter promises to be a hard one so far as food supplies are concerned; and in computing the average table expenses the house-wife must either spend more money or invent cheaper dishes. A few hints may help in the latter course. - A very good substitute for potatoes is bread, every crumb and every dry crust of which should We saved. In making hash at least one-third chopped bread_crumbs is exceedingly palatable. Seasoned with a little thyme, rolled in egg, dipped in crumbs, then fried, this kind of hash makes an excellent force meat balls. Cold oatmeal mush, also hominy, can be mixed in hashes. Slices of stale bread steamed over a very plain soup are delicious. Dry bread wetted with warm water and fried is good for breakfast. Bits of soaked dry bread can be added to griddle-cake - batter, which is raised 'with yeast. Light bread dough rolled to an inch or so in thickness, Bpread with some simple preparation of fruit rolled together, tied in a floured cloth and boiled from one and a half to two and a half hours, eaten with a plain sauce, makes a substantial and hearty meal, one of which children are particularly fond. Thereis a igrreat deal of nourishment in apples. They can be eaten raw; fried for breakfast; made into dumplings for dinner, stewed for tea, or cooked in many other ways. In buying apples it is well to bear in mind that the fine-grained, juicy ones cook the best; also, that a dry, chippy apple has not the nutritive value of a juicy one. For these reasons Rhode Island greenings are selected as being excellent cooking apples, yet they l:'beiug; quite tart require more sweetening than a milder flavored variety. Sweet apple-sauce can be made with no sugar, and is very wholesome, and a good substitute for butter with bread. The use of butter at every meal is by no means a necessary habit, and dozens of dishes can be gotten up which, with a very little butter, used in seasoning, can be set upon the table, and the butter-dish dispensed with altogether.’ Such as a breakfast of milk toast, a supper of boiled orackers or mush, and milk, or mush and milk; or yet a meal of chipped beef prepared in the following manner: shave one-half pound of dried beef, or even less. Pour over it cold water, and scald half an|hour, thicken with a little flour and water, season to taste and pour the whole over bread lightly toasted. Almost any good meat %ravy is a 3 good on bread given to children as butter, . while eating plenty of fat beef supplies the system with fat. Prof. Blot's terse mottoes: ‘Use everything dgood. Waste nothing. Have no prejudices,” ought to be kept in mind by every house-wife who aims at being economical in food matters.— Christian al Work. S ; ; e @ e Deep Plow.ng. The popular verdict has pronounced against deep plowing, and the tive-inch furrdw seems tobe the ‘‘general level.”’ ‘The fact that was proclaimed in the beginning of the controversy was that Nature’s plans were always carried on very near the surface, and when the soil was kept rich the resuits were on the side of medium. depth. As a rnle the fertility brought from the lower stratas is never worth the outlay to ‘bring to the surface. It is yet to be demonstrated that any farmer ever succeeded in raisinr a payiloxg series of crops b{ any other method than en.riching.t e soil as fast as imgoverishable, by the by-produets of the farm. Roots of ﬁmins lay very close to the surface where they can receive light, air -and moisture, then at this point the greatest fertility should be concentrated. If this part of the Soil is of the fresh, raw .subsoil that has just been _brought to the surface, and has, therefore, not been subjected to the breaking down process, and made sllable and mellow by action of frost and other elements, so as to become available plant food, failare must come., The roots will be forced to a lower fev_'el where the real soil is, and this strata 'behﬁ; colder and less acted upon by sun and air, there will be g probability for a lightvcro{;. The farmer who fails in keeping his soil fertile uuoﬂ,i‘h to pro‘duce a crop by medium depth plowing will be quite as 'likely to fail by practicing deep plc_win,i; “and not Ipro,pm--tionately enriching his deepor plowings by the Mlppnegfmuimiou.—mw-;
