How LADY SHOULD Sir ON 4 HoRsE.-A
ladys horse to be perfect should be all over hand
some, and well upon his launches If slightly
hollow in the back, SO much the better, for it gem
orally tends to ease in action, aud to less motion
to the saddle. A lady should never be heard upon
the sadde-that is there should be no humping
noise, not even in trot She should sit 90 closely.
and when rising to the trot, possess such elastic
motion from the foot to the knee and waist that
her return to the saddle should seem as light as
feather She should so sit square to the front 2
and her horses ears Ito speak as sodteF) ought
to dress well with the buttons on the bosom Of her
habit. Nothing is so bad as to sit with q lean to
side, and when admirers are following after to
let them fear that very little would cast her off
from the stirrup side Of her saddle. Her hands
should be down, but light, and her arm, as well as
with the motions of her steed as if both possessed
the same yulitiOn.

he representeda as being their only true friends.
The speaker stroYe to show them the necessity Of

kind consideration, and make tito their interests
to retain them as laborers, instead of employing
immigrants, who were pouring into the country.
Their only chance now he urged, was to depend
upon their own industry, honesty and ffugaIity,
without which they must become more deeply

did not fail to criticise and ridicue the forced and
unnatural zeal Of those northern fanatics who
his sensible remarks seemed to be received with

COOKING POTATOES

The starch in potatoes exists as littlegrains,
Iosor Is Of them together, in cells. Heating
the potato by boiling, steaming or baking,
causes these cells to burst, and the water
tnites with the starch grains, swelling them.
If all the water contained in the potato Tins
mites with its starch, the potato cooks dry
and mealy. II only part Of the water is alb
sorbed BY the starch. then the potato is wat
cry. The best mode Of cooking this esculent
IS by baking, which drives off all the water
that DOES not unite with the starch. Ifboiled,
cook them rapidly, and when just done. pour
off the water, and dry them out; then they
they are improved by mashing fine to free
them from indigestibIe humps; this, of course,
can be done by the teeth of those who prefer
their potatoes s'undressed. y Frying them,
dries up the starch, leaving it similar to char
coal, and when done brown they are almost
as indigestible as so much charcoal or wood

coon COFFEE.

How many ''boarders" viii send the follow
ing extract from the Scientific Anlericqn to
their landladies; TO have really good coffee
that strengthens and stimulates, the beverage
must be strong, strong in distinction to weak:
not dense enough to bear an egg. Persons
of weak digestion find that weak coffee creates
fatulence and is burden grieyous to be borne
while the reverse is the case with strong cof-
fee. A tea cup full Of ground coffee viii
make from Eve to six cups as strong as it
should be- Of course there are stomachs
which can bear turpentine, but they are hap
PLY in the minority.
Coffee should never be brought in contact
with iron. Timed coffee pots that have been
used for some time are apt to get worn on
the surface, so that the iron the tin plate is
made Of comes through When this occurs
the coffee viii be bitter and black, for it at.
tacks iron, forming an acid very quickly.
This any one can see by putting few drops
on case knife.
Above all, to have good coffee, the pot
must be serupulously clean. 1t should be
sealded every morning before using, and
oncea week piece ofsoda as large as avail
nut should be put in the pot and boiled
thoroughly. The result win surprise many who
thought their vessels clean.
