Eggs, and Ways of Using Them.

In springtime, if ever, eggs may be freely eaten, for now they are abundant,cheap and of good quality. Fortunate for the farmer’s family ia the change- which often takes place in gyybjpHßg from the steady use of salt pofK, uP^jUshcomposed largely of eggs. Dr. Edwara Smith says: “It \frould.not be possible to exaggerate the ygftfiM’fW article ot food, whdtner from their universal \ise, or the convenient foiyn in whieh the food is preserved, 'presented and cooked, and the nutriment which they contain.” Again, he says: “ There is no egg of a bird-known which is not good for food, or which could not be fiatqn by.a.hungrv .man." There is inTjic egg of qvery species a division into.wjfrteand yelk. The white of egg consists or nearly pure albumen ana watprtf»4h*> gwik j *of, albuman, oils, sulphur and water. Albumen is considered the jflOmlnfcportani iflagle element of fobd. It isfQund In all compound wintalstructures\ and in 'thfe vegetable productions most valuable as food, though in a modified form.

Boiled custards may be made with one or two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch to a quart of milk; or from four to six eggs to a quart without the starch.— Faith ltochester , in American AgriculIv

Seerets of Transplanting.

A correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph gives some of the methods necessary to insure success in transplanting: A rule without an exception in transplanting is this: Place the roots in contact with aa much soil as possible. This is tery important with evergreen trees and’ all fine-rooted plants or vines, such as strawberries, raspberries, grapes, etc. It is uot enough that a nice place is prepared to receive the tree or plant with all the roots in natural position, or that the finest of earth is used in filling up. Nor is it sufficient that the roots are carefully spread out before the earth is put onto them. All these things must be done, and then it is necessary to see that in filling up the roots are not crowded into a mass without earth between. This is es special importance in planting riursery-grown evergreens, as they are furnished with a mass of fine roots. The hole may be of proper size, the roots spread out nicely, the finest earth may be used, and the tree shaken well when filling up about the roots, and still they may be flattened together so as to touch no soil except at the top and bottom. Water may be freely used, or the roots well puddled in mud-mortar made for the purpose, and still the difficulty only aggravated by making the roots closer than ever. The fine roots must be separated and fine earth worked well among them to separate them as widely as possible. No matter what way you do it, if when done the roots are pressed firmly on all sides with fine moist earth and are separated from each other as faf as they can be.

The annual loss In transplanting is very great, on account ot not observing the rule here set forth. Even professional gardeners, and those who pride themselves on their skill in horticulture, make this mistake, and are puzzled to know why some or all of their plants die or grow poorly. Evergreen trees, especially, are*Often lost in planting; yet they are among the hardiest of trees, and are almost certain to grow if properly handled. As transplanfing they are in full leaf, and of course more susceptible on that account to Injury from'drying than deciduous trees. Beside this,' the sap is resinous,’ and, if once' that cannot circulate in the tree. They should be kept always moist on removal from the nurseries, and, if properly planted as we have detailed, are sure to grow, as nursery-grown evergreens are well furnished with an abundance of fibrous ffibts. But those who plant trees from ttt« woods with but few roots, or carelessly let them dry while out of the ground, or transplant in such a way that the roots cannot draw sufficient moisture promptly from the earth, will be disappointed. If their trees do not die outright, they may make but a sickly growth that cannot he overcome for a number of years at best. In transplanting fine-rooted plants it is not only necessary that the roots be in contact with all the soil possible and in natural position; but it is essential that the crown of the plant is not covered so as to smother the new growth that must start from that point. "The earth should cover ,a}l the roots fully and firmly up to the very crown, but that should be just at the surface. Raspberry and strawberry plants should be carefully attended to in this particular. : ■ In pirating fruit-trees the ends of the roots should be freshened with a smooth cust sloping from the underside. The bruised ends of the roots should be cutoff so the pores of the roots may come in contact with the soil and the more readilv draw moisture than is possible through the obetructed pores of the. bruised root endfe as they come from the nurseries. This often makes the difference between success and failure. Lastly, after planting, mulch at once, or keep the surface soil always in good tilth, mal moisture at the roots may always be sufficient, even in times of drought.

The Largest Musical Box in the World.

The following very interesting description is frdni the Continental Herald , an Anglo-American paper printed in Geneva, .Switzerland: M Ramuel Troll, fils, of this city, has just finished, for the Khedive of Egypt, certainly the biggest and finest, and, probtablyi th e handsomest musical txn ever made. Its beautiful ebony case is buffetshaped. as large as a full-sized sideboard, and inlhid with zinc and brass-work, and ornamented with bronze chasings and Elates. The interior of this remarkable ox is * perfect marvel of mechanical ingenuity; it includes all the latest improvements for selecting tunes, a patent moderator, etc., and is finished with flute, flutebasso. drum-bells, and castanets. The repertoire consists of 132 tunes supplied by eleven cylinders (which can be exchanged at pleasure) each of them being 6 inches in diameter and 26 inches long. Notwithstanding its Brobdignagian dimensions, this instrument, like others of Us kind, performs automatically—when the Khedive desires to treat himself to a concert he needs only to touch a spring, and if His Highness 'should grow weaiy of the monotony of his Is 2 tunes, ho has but to communicate with ther ingenious and enterprising manager of ■JI. Troll’s establishment—Mr. Qeo. Baker —who can speedily supply him with the materials for a few additional hundreds. To complete our description we ought to mention that the price to be paid for the box is 20,000 francs. As this peculiarly Swiss Work of art will leave Geneva in the vmme of a, few days, we should advise those of our readers, who may have time aha opportunity, not to omit making a visit to the warehouse in the rue Bonivard —tfiey may count wb a courteous reception tom Mr. Baker, who will be happy to show them his big box—the result of eighteen months’ assiduous labor, and of whose successful completion his firm may b* jbnyproud, 1k.;.;., .

Religious. IN 1118 VINEYARD. Thxbe is never a way so narrow or short But the Master's work is there; There is something to do for His dear sake. Or something to oalmly bear. There are trials to meet with Christian faith. And duties with Christian grace; And there's Christian sweetness to every one. To be given in every place. Their working days are never so hard Who find in Ghrirt a stay; And days of darkness are days of light When Jesus leads the way. And the waiting days of those who hope Are days of quietness. And the praying days of those who trust Are days of perfect peace.' There are flowers-down in the valley low. And over the mountain side, Which never were praised by a human voioe. Nor by human eyes descried; Yet as sweet as the breath of the royal rose Is the perfnme they exhale: And why they bloom, and where they bloom. The good Lord knoweth well. —Addle L.

A Happy Christianity.

There are two counsels of the great Apostle to the Gentiles, found in one of his epistles, which seem to have an additional significance by reason of their local arrangement. He says: 11 Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing.” These two admonitions are put close together; two of the shortest verses in the New Testament, two of .the weightiest, laid right in immediate contact that they might help each other. The unceasing prayer goes exactly hand in hand with the joyous heart. Let it be understood always that this “ joy of the Lord” is a direct answer to a definite supplication, and then we need not be suspicious of ill, or be afraid we are getting too happy to be safe. The man who will pray and then complain, the man who can pray and then be wretched, had better just keep praying till he feels himself becoming a more charitable brother, or getting into a more comfortable mood. “Is any one among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms.” It is high time that God’s children suffered themselves to live on a more generous spiritual diet. Away with all dullness of countenance and all heaviness of soul! No man need willingly afflict himself in order to keep hifc dangerous spirit down. A Christian ought to be the happiest being on all the earth. The joy of theLordia the keynote at everything which has a right to be called religion. True holiness has no sackcloth among its habiliments; the Bride of the Lamb never wears mourning, never puts ashes on her head. It is sin that makes sorrow; grace in the humble believer’s heart gives relief from both sorrow and sin. You will be astonished at those multiplied and voluminous passages in the Word of God which a half hour would point out with a common concordance. The whole Bible is full, not only of encouragements, but of positive commands, to Christians to be cheerful and happy. Paul says this again and again: “Rejoice.” He puts it at the supreme height of his affectionate counsel: “ Finally, mv brethren, rejoice in the Lord.” And, even after this, he comes back to it anew. As a commentator of the olden time quaintly phrases it, he fires a gun of congratulation to show he has got out of the woods: “Rejoice in the Lord always;” and then he lets off’ the other barrel: “ And again I say, rejoice.” That Christian does most good in his day and generation who leads his fellowmen up into the more elevated of divine clemency and care. For it is upon an errand of cheer that we are all to go forth. “ Gospel ” means glad tidings. A generous hand extended, a friendly word spoken, a slight ministration of heart-felt sympathy, has more than once filled a desolate life with encouragement and made a gloomy path to grow radiant with peace. These ages are full enough of woes and worries, without our attempting to increase them by a melancholy foreboding. It is the cbeerfulest spirits everywhere, which after all are doing the most good, and bringing most souls to the cross. “Oh, this world might be better, If each would do hia part; If each hand would break one fetter, Binding now some saddened heart.” A happy Christian family is one of the very best gospel sermons ever preached on earth. Let the boys play, ana let the girls sing, and try a little quiet fun yourself. We should all accomplish more, if we did not somehow produce the impression that Christian endeavor is such disheartening and such melancholy business for all concerned.—lllustrated Christian Weekly.

Simplicity in Preaching.

In one of his charges. Archbishop Usher says to his clergy: “ How much learning and wisdom, my brethren, are neces sary to make these things plain!” Could he have said anything more fine and judicious than this ? Here is the proper direction and exertion of a minister’s talents, whether natural or acquired. They are not to unfit him for any part of his office—which they may easily do, at the stimulation of vanity or pride; but to qualify and aid him the better to perform it. It is to be feared that some do not employ their abilities to make things plain—u they do, we can but lament their deplorable want of success. But it would seem as if their aim was to dazzle rather than enlighten; to surprise rather than inform; to raise admiration at their difficult composition, rather than with the Apostles to use great plainness of speech. Even their claim to originality oiten regards only the mode of representation. The ideas they wish to pass off as new, when examined, are found only commonplace sentiments. The well is not really deep; but you cannot see to the bottom, because of their contrivance to mane the water muddy. They are not really tall; and so they strain on tiptoes. They have not a native beauty that always appears to most advantage without finery; and so they would makeup the deficiency by excess, and complexity, and cumbersomencss of ornament.— Wm. Jay.

Phillips Brooks on Christian Life.

The great part of the lffe, after becoming a Christian, will be spent as before; we shall buy and sell ana get gain; but the purposes are all changed, all have become new; the consecration of life to the Master has sanctified them, and the old has become new. That is the heavenly vision which Paul saw; and if we only obey It all is well. The vision comes to everyone somewhere and) at some time. Do not dan to dream that it has come, or Is not coating to you. It is like the sun shining gloriously in the East, and shining in at every window, unless the windows have been barred to keep out th% blessed light. It 1b utterly all the world to whom the Savior offers himself. Believe this I Believe it, Christians, as you go to other men with Christ’s invitation. Believe it, sinner, for it is true. St. Paul said: “1 was obpdient”—l did what it was manifest to me I ought to do. It is simply taking the salvation which Christ holds out to you bv doing what you feel yOu ought to do. Have you Hot the heavenly vision to-night ? Then came by and by another vision to Paul, when his soul saw unutterable things, which he could not tell to mortal man. This latter vision will come to all who are obedient to the first. Let not men think for a moment that to be a Christian is to be a crushed and broken tiling. ’ To be obedient to the Heavenly vision transforms one finally into the image of the Master.

Spring Fashions for Men’s Wear.

The prevailing style for general wear is a morning coat and vest from a black or blue diagonal cloth, with fancy cassimere trousers of a pattern adapted to the figure of the wearer. The most fashionable coat is made with three buttons to button, moderately cut away in front, of medium length in the waist and skirt, and without flaps on the hips. Waistcoat single-breasted, with a step collar. For trousers the principal styles are checks over a striped ground, and stripes or plaids over a diagonal ground. They are still cut wide to the leg, hut a trifle smaller at the knee and a shade larger at bottom than formerly. In fancy suitings for undress wear the leading style of coat is a single-breasted sack, to button three or four buttons, cut straight in front and rounded off a little at the bottom. Waistcoat without a collar. The two-button morning coat, with pockets under flaps on the hips and an outside breast-pocket patch, is also in good style and finds much favor. For better wear the double-breasted frock coat is the only garment in good taste, and continues to be made from the diagonal worsted goods. Blues rather predominate this season, and are an agreeable change. Silk breast-facings ana flat braid are still used where a very smart coat is desired, but plain facings and. a narrow-bound edge is preferable for ordinary wear. Satin or galloon bindings are to be avoided. The frock will also be very fashionable in light colors, and this with trousers to match is the costume en regie for Jerome Park and similar places! — N. Y. Evening Post. ~ —Olive Logan says, she’d like to be an Englishman’s wife and have him ask her to bring him his boots! She'd make him -think a~ tornado- had- struck the house.— Detroit Fret Press.
