NUMBER IA.

Sir William Smyth, of BedfordslIra
was immensely rich, but most parsimon.
ious and miserly in his habits. AT seventy
years of age he was entirely deprived of
his sight, unable to gloat over his hoarded
heaps of gold. He was persuaded by
/ Taylor, the celebrated occulist, to be
coached, who WINS, by agreement, to have
sixty guineas if he restored his patient to
any degree Of sight. Taylor succeeded
IN his operation, and Sir William was
enabled to read and write, without the aid
of spectacles. during the rest of his life.
But no sooner was his sight restored
than the baronet began to regret that his
agreement had beer for 90 large a sum.
His thoughts were now how to cheat the
occulist. He pretended that he had only
a glimmering, and could see nothing
distinctly; for which reason the bandage
on his eyes was continued month longer
than the usual time. Taylor was de.
ceiyed by these misrepresentation, and
agreed to compound the bargain, and &C.
cepted twenty guineas instead Of sixty
AT the time Taylor attended him he had
a large estate, an immense sum Of money
in the stocks, and $4,000 in the house.
A miser of the name of Foscue, who
had amassed enormous wealth by the
most sordid parsimony and discreditabls
extortioD, applied his ingenuity to discover
some effectual way of hiding his gold
With great care and secrecy he dug a
cave in his cellar. To this receptacle for
his treasure he descended by ladder, and
the trap-door he attached spring lock, SO
that, on shutting, it would fasten of ITSELF
by and by the miser disappeared; in
quiries were made; the house was search

were dragged; but no Foscue coHld they

IN which he had lived was sold, snd work.
men were busily employed in its repair.
In the progress of their work they met
with the door of the secret cave, VIII tha

his devoirs to his golden god, ana became
a sacrifice to his devotion.

The following interesting account of
these curious fossils we find in the New
ark Advertiser
Their died at Paris in the year 1899,
(says the author of the charming work,
Salad for the Social literally of want,
the we'll known banker, Osteryald. A
few days previous to his death he resisted
the opportunities of his attendant to pur-
chase some meat for the purpose of max.
ing little soup for him. 'True should
like the soup,' he said, 'bus have no
appetite for the meat; what is to become
Of that I 1t will be sad waste This
poor wretch died worth $l25, 900 sterling.
Another desperate case was that of Elves,
whose diet and dress were alike of the
most revolving kind, and whose property
was estimated at 100000. Daniel Dan.
GERS misely propensities were INDUCED to
such a degree that on one occasion when.
at the urgent solicitation of friend, he
ventured to give shilling to Jew for an
old hat, better as new to the astOnish-
ment of his friend. the next day he actually
retailed it for eighteen pence. He per-
formed his ablutions at a neighboring
pool. drying himself in the sun to save
the extravagant indulgence Of a towel;
yet this poor mendicant had property to
the extent of upwards of %, 900 per an
mum.
The we'll known Nat BentIy, (alas Dir
ty Dick, of London, was the victim not
only to a craving for gold, but for old iron.
Another deplorabIe case might be cited,
that of Tom Pitt, of Wnrwickshire. 1t is
reported that some weeks prior to the
sickness which terminated his despicabIe
career, he went to several undertakers in
quest of a cheap coffin. He left behind
90, ,475 10 public funds. Another instance
is that Of the notorious Thos. Cook. On
his physicien intimating the possibility of
his not existing more than five or six days,
he protested against the useless expense
of sending him medicine. and charged the
doctor never TO show his face to him again.
His property wasestimated et about $780,

At what period the orka or gumbaud
plant was introduced into North Amer
lean, am unable to state from any books
in my library. The Encyclopaedia Ame-
ricana has no article upon il, although
it has heen a common garden vegetable
in the Southern and Middle States for
more than fifty years.
It was first used as a substitute for cof.
fee, and was called orka coffee. And,
unquestionably, it is the best substitute
ever discovered. Some years ago. wri.
ter, think in the Prairie Farmer, pro-
nounced it equal TO the finest Mocha; and
l can add that consider myself a good
Judge of the genuine article, and / have
at least once, without detecting it, drank
the orka with the usual gusto. In fact,
as far as | can discover; the tasts and odor
of the two articles are Identical should

of the two berries, so dissimilar in every
thing save in the taste and smell.
The cultivation of the okra is very sim.

den peas, in light soil, about the first
Of May. The plants to be thrifty, should
be at least two feet apart. When the
pod is about half grown it is fit for use.-
1t is then rs tender as young cucumber,
and will not burst in the boiling. Take
dozen of these pods, which is a good mess
for family, and boil them thirty minutes
in pure water (using tin pan instead of
iron vessel then lift them carefully with
a spoon into deep dish, and Immediately
season with sweet butter, rather copious-
ly; then salt and pepper, if preferred.
To make gumbo soup, cuttwo or three
pods in thin slices, as you would cucum-
bers, for one gallon of auy kind of soup.
Tomatoes, in large quantities, and green
corn, cut from the cob, are the usual ad
mixtures ofgumbo soup. Too much orka
makes the soup insipid. There should be
just enough to give it rich mucilaginous
taste.
But the okFa is principally valuable for
boiling. To relish it one must use it for

daily use, from July to October would
not exchange it for any vegetable product
whatever.

the tomato and the egg plant, three in

Belgian farmer, heifer calfis invariably

COW is put to bull just after she has been
thoroughly milked. The author of this
statement claims to have confirmed its
accuracy by four years. experience, aad
asserts that the plan has succeeded beyond
all expectation. Cows which previously
bore only male calves, and that for four
or five years, gave heifer calves by the
above treatment. Give it trial. Country

at the same time rubbing the throat hriskiy

[Agriculturalist.
SEARCHES IN HoRsEs. is said
that this often troublesome disease, unless
very bad, may be cured by washing thor.
oughly with soap-suds, and then rubbing,
with lard fried out of salt meat. Keep
clean and wash and grease every other day
until cure is effected. Leaving mud to
dry upon the legs ofa horse is one great
cause of this disease, and many horses

PUrTrNe LIME INTO HAY.-'It is said
that lime Stacked to powder and sprinkled
upon clover partially dried, when it is put
into the barn, will act as an absorbent,
prevent heat and fermentation, and that
the clover will come out in good condi-
ton in winter, and cattle eat it readily
and thrive well upon it. We would not
do it. If cattle are sick and need little
lime water, give ii to them, but do not
compel them to eat caustic lime daily, or
let the hay alone and starve. Iflime must
be used in hay, then dissolve it ana use
clear lime-water only but salt is far better.
