Words for Poor Boys.

When I was a boy Of twelve years, 1
was working for twenty five cents a
week, with an old lady, and had my
hands full, but I did my work faithfully.
I used to cut wood, fetch water, mako
fires, scrub aud scour in the morning
for the old lady, before the real work of
the day commenced. My clothes were
bad, and I had no means of buying
shoes, so was often barefooted. One
morning got through my work early,
and the old lady, who thought had
not done it, or was especially ill humOrcd
then, was displeased, scolded mej and
said 1 was idle and had not worked. l
said l had she called mo "liar."
felt my spirit rise Indignantly against
this, and, standing erect, | told her that
she should never have the chance Of
applying that word to ME again. I
walked out of the house, to re-enter it
no more. I had not cent in my pock.
ct when stepped into the world. What
do you think l did then, boys? met
acountryman, with team. l addressed
him boldly and earnestly, aud offered
to drive the leader, if he would only
take me on. He looked at me in sur
prise, but said he did not think I'd be
of any use to him. go yes, 1 will, said
I; al can rub down and watch your
horses, and do many things for you,
if you will only let me try" He no
longer objected. I got on the horses
back. 1t was hard travelling, for tho
roads were deep, and We could only get
on at the rate of twelve miles per day.
This was, however, my starting point,
l went ahead after this. An iudepend-
ent spirit, and steady, honest conduct,
with what capacity God has given me
AS he has given yOu-have carried

Cellardonn.

Cellars under dwelling. houses are gen.
orally deemed indispensable. They are
certainly very useful but there are
evils Of such magnitude connected with
them, that some have advocated their
demonstration. They are almost
universally manufactures of foul air,
which finding its way upward by means
OF doors, windows, stairways and crew.
ces in the floors, diffuses its noxious
elements through the rooms above and
becomes a fruitful source of disease
and again, they serve for harbor for
rats and mice, in the mode in which
they are usually constructed, affording
access to the side of the walls from be-
low. 1t is necessary, however, that they
should be infested with vermin or half
filled with rottiug garbage to produce
the results complained Of.
The surface of the earth is filled with
decomposabe substances, and Whenever
air is confined in any spot, it becomes
saturated with various exhalations dele
terious to health Means must be pro-
vided, therefore, for their thorough
ventilation, or cellars must be totally
abandoned. A cellar, to fully serve its
purposes, should be cool in summer,
impervious to frost in winter, and at all
times free from moisture. The walls
should rise one or two feet at least above
the level of the surrounding ground,
and should be laid in good lime mortar,
or at least pointed with it. The thick
ness of the wall should not be less than
fifteen or eighteen inches and if the
house walls above be built of brick or
stone, two feet is preferable.
The cellar should have a connecting
drain at its lowest corner, which should
always be kept free from obstruction !;
and each room in it should have at
least two sliding sash windows to Sc
cure a good circulation of air. In very
cold climates, those portions of tho wall
above the surface Of the ground should
be double, either By means of distinct
thin vail, on the outside, or by lathing
and plastering on the inside, and be
furnished with double windows as
further security against frost. An out
side door with fight of steps is de-
sirable in every cellar and especially in
one connected with a farm house,
1t should always be borne in mind
that, in constructing cellars particular
care should be taken to have all its
walls and their connecting surfaces with
the ceilings above, all perfectly tight
and secure from the egress and ingress
of all vermin, however dimin utive.-
A due observance of these hints with
those given above in regard to keeping
the cellar clear from all rubbish and
decaying vegetable matter, will ensure
any house from the presence of vermin

How to Bake an Apple.

To bake an apple properly is a nice
operation. A strong heat will express
the juice, and lose you the benefit of il
of the very part you most want. The
juice left in the applo--which slow
cooking will do-will evaporato the wa.
terry part, and leave the remainder ia
the apple lessoned, but concentrated
and consequently more relishable. -
This is what is wanted. By slow cook.
ing, the process is done more thorough.
ly, it is done to the core, and the fruit
is soft cooked
To bake so as to leave the apple
whole, is always the best plan-for, il
the skin is broken, no little harm is
done. The least cracking, however,
shows that too much heat has been ap-
piled. Hence, cooking an apple as il
should be cooked is a slow process-at
least Of several hours duration. Half
dozen hours is better than three. A
large apple, of course, must have more
time to cook-and a sweet more than @
sour. When the apple is thoroughly
cooked, it is delicate thing--soft as
velvet, and the skin like silk. The
thin, transparent cuticle is all that i.
wanted to hold the meat. Be alway,
particular to select sound fruit, as tht
bitter inside never adds TO the palatable
ness of meal.
An apple should be so cooked as no
to stain the tin, or but little. We pre-
fer papcr--not necessarily whitc--th

not communicate their odor to the fruit
They are clean and handy-no washin;

crates, is quite a task; besides, the dish

your apples. Put in a few hours afte

Horsefesh for Food.

One Of the secretaries of the French
Society for the Protection of Animals,
has just given lecture at the Garden
of Accimatization on the subject of
horsefesh as human food. He advocates
the employment as butchers meat of
horses free from disease, but past work
He calculated that the adoption of this
system would yield daily in Paris alone
between 5000 lbs and 5000 Tbs. weight
of wholesome meat after making large
deduction for diseased horses. AS rep
rescntative of a humane society he 10
sisted upon the great mercy it would be
to the horses to be killed before old age
and consequent ill-treatment overlook
them. There would be no moro work
ing them to death, when once the cook
came to compete with costsrmo on gers
aud cab drivers.
In the course of the lecture it was
mentioned that the celebrated Larry,
thrice in the course of his military ca,
reer made use of horsehesh as food for
sick soldiers and that in Egypt espoci.
ally he had found it to check the pro-
gress of scorbutic malady which had
assumed an epidemical character. In
the Crimea the lecturer stated, two bat.
teries of artillery fed in conformity to
the advice of DR.. Baudens, on the flesh
of cast horses, had been free from the
diseases prevailing in the army.
Reference was made to the efforts oI
protective societies in Germany to ex
tend the use of horseAesh and it was
stated that prosperous trade is carried
on in it by butchers in Vienna, Berlin,

"I would not have had my battery

the regulars did on that memorable oc-
casion-run like blaxes!" An assistant
surgeon was called before the same
Board and asked; "What would you do
if man was threatened with fever 4"
"Endeavor to create perspiration, and
relieve him." "What course would YOU
think best adapted to invite perspira-
tion ?" "I think I would-order him

Something of a Cheese.

A California correspondent of tbf
Country Gentleman thus describes the
great cheese presented to the Sanitary
Commission
The great ",Sdnitary Cheese" attracted
much attention. 1t was made by two
patriotic rancheros, Messrs. Steele Bro
Of the Pescadero ranch, Santa Cruz Co.,
and presented to the Sanitary Commits
sion. It was placed on exhibition at
the Fair, and has since gone East, be-
lievo. 1t was enormous, weighing al
most too tons, or to be more exact, 3,
$50 pounds, yet we'll made and in per.
feet form. They have on their two
ranches 400 COWS, from which they
selected 600 of the choicest, and as
signed the work to thirty men, expert
enced in the business. The 600 cows
selected, yielded 12O barrels of milk in
three aud a half days, from which the
immense curd was prepared. The
cheese is nearly six feet across, and it is
not easy to see how they manipulated so
large q mass with such success but
successful they we're, and thousands of
soldiers will bless their patriotism and
generosity, as we'll as their SKILL
When Eastern dairies beat this, Messrs
Steele will try again, for California is
not to be beaten.
