HOW Co Cook Green Corn.

Corn should be allowed to boil (says the
Ohio Farmer in clear, soft water, and
by itself alone. Eot in salt water, for
the salt hsfdens the corn; and
not, on any account boil the ears of corn
with potatoes, as SO many do, for this
greatly Injuries the taste and goodness of
tho corn, and also hsrdens it. 1t is well
Known that the skin of the potato holds q
poison which is freely given to water,
rendering it unfit that corn should be
boiled in it. Perhaps you win think this
unimportant and unnecessary, but have
eaten in hundreds of families where corn
was cooked in no other way except with
the potatoes, and very much impaired in
quality and wholesomeness. / have also
seen corn cooked on the cob where meat
and vegetables were boiled, and think
that very few are guilty of such bar
barism as that.

PROLIFIC GRAPE VINE.

Suspended from one of the evergreen
arches in the centre of the room is q
piece of grape vine, cut from one of the
varieties in the vineyard of Cox s. Dun
lap, which is deserving of special mem

length, and is known as 'Ive's Seeding"
1t will hardly be believed that this short
piece of vine contains fifty punches of
grapes, but such is the fact. That is a
grape vine worth having.

Mems RIGHTS;

Burleigh tells this story in the Boston
Journal: ....
Coming up in the cars quite an atHus-
ing incident occurred. The palace cars
need custom. The common cars are lew
and crowded, and those who would be
comfortable are compelled to pay extra
and have seat in tie palace saloon. Sew
eral gentlemen stood. A lady took a
whole seat to herself, and piled up her
baggage on the spot where weary gentle.
men would be glad to repose. The lady
left her seat for moment and went to
the rear: A gentleman at once went for
it-piled the bags on the seat the lady oc-
cupied and sat down. All watched the
operation. Soon the lady came on with a.
quick step. She came to a halt and said,
"Sir, you have my seat" II think not s
your luggage is on your seat" II have
had the seat all the way from Albany"
Yes ma'am, and I have stood all the way
from Albany, and intend to ride the rest
of the way to Rutland" Not an inch
did the woman bulge; she held her
ground full ten minutes. The intruder
was quietly reading-the only one in the
car that was not absorbed in the affair.
The silence was painful. At last the wo-
man gave way. In huff she seized her
bundles, made for the palace car, and
paid for all the room she occupied. Her
exit was attended with short, sharp
cheer, and the audience recovered.

Without word Of warning the rough

thumb, he demanded an explanation.
"Shut up. I'll bust you againh' said
the aggressor, approaching him again.

Rent Story.

Once in the Latin quarter OF Paris,
one may learn useful facts. Among 9TH
ers, an ingenious method for avoiding the
payment of rent, that would do an honor
to Dick Swiveller. The explanation of
the method is inseparable from its illus
tration:
The landlady of certain medical stud
ent who effectually dunned her delin-
quent tenant for some time, resolved at
last upon resorting to extreme measures.
She entered the Students room one morn
ing, and said in decided tone.
"You must either pay me my rent or
be off this very day."
'sI prefer to be off," said the student,
who, on his side, was prepared for the en-
counter.
"Wel1, then, sir, pack up directly"
81 assure you, madam, will 60 with
the utmost expedition, if you will assist
me little"
"With the greatest Of pleasure"
The student thereupon went to a ward
robe, and took out o skeleton, which he
handed to the dame.
'sWill you have the kindness to place it
in the bottom of my trunk ?" said he
folding it up.
"What is it 2'' said the landlady recoil:
ing little.
''That? Pooh that-Oh, it's the skele-
ton of my first landlord, who was incon-
siderate enough to claim the rent of three
terms that I owed him, and then I-be
careful that you do not'break tits num-
Der one of my collection"
"Monsieurl" exclaimed the dame,
growing visibly paler.
The student, without replying, opened
second drawer, and took out another
skeleton.
"This is my landlady in the Rue T.
Ecole de Medicine. A very worthy lady,
but who also demanded the rent of two
terms. Will you also place it on the 9TH
er? It is number two."
The landlady opened her eyes as large
as portecochers.
"This," continued the student, "this is
number three. They are all here A
very honest man, and whom did not pay
either. Let US pass on to number four"
But the land1ady was no longer there.
She had fed, almost frightened to
death.
From that day no more was said about
the rent.
