The BESr MopE or DRrNG PusrxNs.--
We love pumpkin pies, even when there Is
an abundance Of tree fruits. We have tried
eli modes Of drying, but no plan is, we think,
eaual to the one we recommendeda year ago,
and which we have recently tried on larS-
er scale than hitherto. Ii is this; Take
the ripe pumpkins, pare. cut into small
pieces, stew sOit, mash and strain through a
culander, as IL for making pies. Spread this
pulp on plates in layers, not quite hall an
inch thick; dry it down in the stove oven,
kept at 80 low temperaturc US not to scorch
it. In about day It will become dry and
crisp. The sheets thus made can be slowed
away in dry place, and they are always
ready for use for pies or sauce. Soak the
pieces over night in little milk, and they
will return to a nice pulp, as delieiousas the
fresh pumpkin-we think much more 20.
The quick dryisg after cooking prevents any
portion from slightly souring, as is always
the case when the uncooked pieces are dried ;
the favor is much better preserved, and the
after-eooking is saved. This plan is quite as
little trouble as the old mode, to say nothing
Of the superiority in the quality OF material
obtained. Try 1t, and you will not return
to the old method We are sure, and you will
also become 4 great lover Of pumpkin pie
.thc year round, and feel less the loss Of tho
fruit crop.-Amerieaa Agrieiiiiuraiia.

MORE SLEEp.-Wo have read q statement,
written by DR.. Winship, the |. strong man,
who recently lecturcd at the North,of rules,
by tho Observance of which no obtained his
remarkable strength and muscular power.
To one of these rules In particular, a. being
that which most men arc prone to violate,we
v;,b 10 call special attention. The Doctor
saws be takes ten hours sleep out OF the
tvcnty.four, and he advises everybody to
take a, least eight hours rest nightly, We
are convinced that the most OF Ill health IN
the community Is due to the lack OF sleep
more than to any other cause. Rapidity OF
eating. lack of exercise, heated rooms, over
anxiety of mind, and other causes, contrib
ute TO the ill.health and abbreviated lives OF
our city population, but the going to bed t'o
late and rising too early VIC believe to be pro-
duc,iye of moro sickness and premature
deaths than any Of these or oil Of them COM
bined. DR.. Hall, in his Journal Of Health,
copcurs fully with DR.. Winship rs to the ne
ccssity Of longer sleep than tho majority Of
men allow themselves. Indeed we know Of
no respectable medical sanction for the short
ening tho term TO six or seven hours. We
know very many men who are rarely IN bed
before midnight, yet arc always up by six
o'clock IN the morning. Such men arc e1-
hausting their vital forco premsturcly. They
never can reach the limit Of three scce
years and ten, much lcss live far beyond u;
a almost every man may BY taking care u
himself. -rsi

A Romance Of Yesterday.

quired for Mile Mathildc Bcnoit, a young IA
dy who was one Of the pupils. He rcqu~t'

ance, and drove away. She went at the sP-
pointed hour, but was never more ssen ut s''e
Conserraioire. Her lover, ono Georges Du-
rand. also pupil, became very grave and
reserved on the mysterious sohjsct, and short
ly after no also disappeared. and was scen no
more. What took place behind the SCENES,
meantime, was as follows:-
The next day after the appearance OF the
notary, Mnthilde and her mother called at
his Office, rs already stated, being very anx.
ious to ascertain what he wanted. When
they were seated the notary said:
- Peter Bcnoit, born 1863, was pupil OF
the Conserrdfoirc. Afterward he gained
great reputation rs q composer, o singer and
professor OF singing and composition for his
daughters engaged him To come to New York.
Here, under an Italian name, he soon acqnir-
cd q great rcnown. His music was sung in
the theatres, and he gave concerts which
were always crowded. Finally, his leteons
were 70 much sought after that they paid
him as much as twenty dollars per lesson.
