TROuT-RAIsING. The Warren On. J. )
,Dpynal learns that Philadelphia
has recently purchased farm lying
between Asbury and Bloomsbury, on
the Musconetcong, for the single pur-
pose of getting possession Of a celebra-
ted trout stream which runs through
the land This stream be purposes to
turn to practical accounts by the con-
structicn Of ponds for the propagation
on a large scale of this most delicious
of all fresh-water fish, and no doubt
seems to be entertained Of his success.
The ponds are to be of various dimen-
sions, to answer the different purposes
which they are to serve. The spawn
ing-pond" is intended to contain about
1900 full grown trout. 1t is claimed
by the proprietor that he will have q
million of trout Matched by the middle
of June. Systematic trout-raising on
such a scale is rather a new thing in
this State, although institutions OF a
like character, it is said, are in sue
cessful operation in other parts of the
country, especially in those parts OF
New York State which are not incon-
veniently distant from the city. The
business is said to be a largely lucra-
tive one.

VAST LITERARY LABOR. The mass OF
manuscript of Allibone's Dictionary,
fairly copied for the press, occupied
1904 large foolscap pages and a few
pages in large quarto The copyist
was Mrs. Allibone, who thus proved
herself a helpmeet for her accom-
plished and persevoring husband In
like manner, when the late DR.. Buck
land wrote his celebrated Bridgewater
treatise on Geology and Mineralogy
his wife copied parts of it nineteen
times $50 frequent and extensive were
the alterations and, as she told the
writer of this, made fair copies of the
entire work four times over Like her
the lady whose name we have yen-
tured to introduce here, having aided
in her husbands great work, may
"sharc tho triumph and partake the gale"
That our readers may be able to
Judge what labor and research have
been concentrated, we shall add few
facts which are within our knowledge
There were 1879 manuscript pages OF
subjects under the letter b; 1865 OF
II; 1896 Of NJ; 225l of S, and 2003 OF
w. 1t tool, Dr. Alllbone about TWEEN
ty-two months to write up the articles
on the letter S, and about MS many
more for those of the letter w Smith

for DR.. Allibone chronicles the literary
productions Of seven hundred Of that
name, among whom there arc ninety

BEAUTIFUL. EXTRACT. When the face
of Nature is wreathed with smiles
and the heart rejoices in prosperity
it is because some darling object is
about to be obtained-so valuable
possession near at hand 1t is the
hope of happiness that sustains the
soul when sinking under adversely;
that Gains the troubled spirit; that
pours into the heart of grief those
consultations which are healing. The
chief aim and object of life is happi-
ness, and the pursuit thereof perma-
nent pleasure; for, even in the dark
est days of life may be seen the beau
tiful rainbow Of hope, and it sheds
its rays of light far over the fearful
chasm Of death, into IA land where the
eye that is fading on earth can dis
Germ objects of heavenly beauty. The
hope of happiness is the rainbow and
sunshine of life; and though clouds
may sometimes dark the horizon,
yet the rainbow will soon appear, and
the clouds give place to sunshine and
beauty.

Potatoes, which are dearcr food
than meat for the supply Of flesh, are
far cheaper as Il source of beat TO the
body, SO with this view we associate
them in our meals. Cheese gives us
cheap flesh but dear fuel, so we take
1t with bread, which supplies the lat
ter economically. Potatoes lay on
flesh at an eXtravagant rate, So with
potato-soup we mix peas, which add
TO its nutrtive value and to their
economy. The making of palatable
mixtures Of various kinds of food forms
the art of cookery. 1t is a maxim as
old as Hippocrates, that whatever
pleases the palate nourishes, and it is
only when taste becomes depraved by
indulgence that the pleasure cf eating
becomes contemptible Many dishes
of the cook are full of scientific signi-
iicance As an illustration, let us ask,
why are small square pieces of bread,
fried in lard, sent up with yegeta,
bic soup? Because starch requires to
be mixed with saliva before it is CON
yerted into sugar in the act of diges-
ton, and as the soup would pass to
the stomach without masticatioD, fried
or hard bread protected from the wa
ter by fat, 50 Us to prevent its soften
ing, is taken along with the soup and
compels mastication and a flow of
saliva.
But if cooks exhibit important sci
entifc applications, they often err
from ignorance of science. All the
sapid Of tasting ingredients Of flesh
reside in its juices and not in solid
substance. If the flesh Of deer, an
f OK, pig, cat, or a fox be well
squeezed, SO as to express their juices,
what remains has the same sapid taste
fer all of them. For this reason roast
or stewed meat is generally better
favored than boiled, and the cook
protects the juices by pouring melted
fat over the joint during its roasting.
In boiling meat for soup, cold water
should be used at first, so as to extract
rs much of the nutritive Juices as pos
sible, and the heat be raised gradual
~ But if the meat be wanted in a
T bOIltu Sldtt lOi lthell, anu nOL IOf us
soup, then it should be plunged at
once into boiling water, and kept
boiling for a few minutes, so that all
the outer albumen may be cogulated,
in order to imprison the sapid and nu-
tritive juices; then cold water should
be added tall the temperature is re-
dnced to 100 degrees, at which it
should be kept till the cooking is COM
pleted, because that heat is necessary
for the coagulation Of the coloring
matter of the blood. In all eases, no
more heat than is sufficient should be
employed in cooking Thus in max
ing soup, all the fire in the world will
not make the yater hotter than its
boiling temperature, at which point it
can be retained by a very moderate
expenditure of fuel. Violent ebulh-
ton, such as we cooks often practice,
while it doesno good, does mnch harm,
not only by wasting coal, but also by
carrying of in the steam much of the
aromatic and volatile ingredients of
the food coal Words
