the preachers Of Lafayette, Indiana.
are we'll agreed that the Chicago Fire
was divine and providential judy

consistency to this view of the case,
it should be demonstrated that the

women in Austria perform tie

many may be seen carrying hods OF

ually supply the place of navles, and
dig and wheel barrows OF "ballast"
almost as nimbly as their liege lords.
They chop wood, they carry water,
they offer to black your boots in the
streets, and perform many other lit
tie offices, which, according TO our
notions, hardly come under the de-
nomination of "woman's work. "
Perhaps this state Of things is una
voidable in country where it is
considered necessary to keep stand

men work inordinately hard, while
hundreds OF idle men are constantly
seen sauntering in various uniforms,
doing nothing at all except, perhaps,
blowing a cloud OF tobacco smoke.

To Dry and Geek Corn.

To dry corn for winter use is not al
ways an easy matter when done in the or
binary way; butt is so good dish when
properly cooked, and comes in such good
play during the winter and spring months,
when the good housewife is often puzzled
what to cook, that all should have a supply;
and for those who have no better fixtures
for drying, l would recommend the hot
bed. Place the parboiled corn, cut from
the cobs, on boards, or sheets in the hot
bed, or other frame, and put on the sash,
raising them a couple of inches at each end,
the sun shining in will make it so hot that
the corn will dry perfectly in n day;
and the heat will be so great that not a fly
will GO neal it, and should a shower come
upit will be quite safe where it is, and
readyto take advantage of the first bit of
sunshine; when properly dried it will last
for years. To cook it, my wife says, put
it in a tin or other vessel with a lid, pour
on enough hot water to cover well, set on
the stove where it will remainn near the boil
ing point, but should not boil; leave on
three or four hours, then take half cup of
cream, into which stir a teaspoonful of
-four. and pour into the dish with corn, or
instead of the cream use milk, and add a
small piece of butter; season with a tea
spoonful of flour and a little salt, set on
the stove half an hour longer and it is

Lime a Renovation OF Soils.

The constant use of special manure
tends to make the land what is called
"sick." Thus we hear of land being clover
sick; of land that has been manured with
superphosphate, guano, or fish, a. being
burnt, and nc longer yielding to the appli-
cation of more manure Barnyard manure
is not yet in sufficient supply to have pro-
duced the same effect or given rise to a
similar complaint, but even when this has
been applied in large quantities to the soil,
it will be found that something is needed
TO remedy the lodging of crops for want
of stiffness ill the stalk or straw. Lime
is a remedy in all these cases. When the
soil is filed with vegetable matter lime
rapidly decomposes it, and not only is it 8
solvent for this, but for many mineral
matters that plants need for food. A lime
stone soil is as much improved by lime as
any other land, and needs it equally at
stated periods; for limestone is not lime
in the sense in which agriculturists use the
word and it cannot fill the Office of lime
until it has been fitted therefor by the op-
Grafton of the kiln-HeaTth and Home.

Management of Horses.

Feed literally, work steadily, and
clean thoroughly, is my motto in the
management of horses. My great trou-
BILE is to get the horse rubbed dry
and clean before leaving them for the
night. Where horses are worked six days
in the week, thorough grooming is abso-
lutely essential to their health. The more
highly they are fed the more important it
is to clean them. Mostmen use the curry
comb too much, and the whisk and brush
too little. l do not myself insist upon it,
but I believe it would pay always to take
the whole harness from the horses when
put in the stables at noon, and rub them
dry, washing the shoulders with cold wa
ter, afterwards thoroughly drying them
with a cloth. Every man and team on the
farm cost me at least $3.50 a year; and 1
question if one farmer in a hundred duly
appreciates how much he loses from hav-
ing poor horses, and in not keeping them
in vigorous health, and in condition to do
a maxium days work.-Ameriedn Agri-

Something on Lawns.

Occasionally 1 read advice that to re-
cuperate and enrich the grass and soil of a
lawn, wellrotted animal manure should be
literally spread over it and well raked. An
experience of many years in making, seed
ing and renewing lawns, causes me, when
/ read such advice, to wonder if the
adviser expects the Chinaman to work on
his lawn the coming season, steadily, and
at low wages, pulling out weeds and
coarse grasses. / care not how well rotted
the animal manure, l never yet saw it ap-
piled without weeds following, and coarse
grasses. l never use animal manur in
the making of a lawn if l can possibly
avoid il, preferring the same amount of de-
composed turf or fresh loan to add to
what may be a too inferior soil to carry
forward the fine grasses of a lawn.
In renewing a lawn, l much prefer to
scatter half an inch to an inch of fine rot
ted turf loan, then, after rakng, SOW
bone meal three-ffths, plaster one-ffth,
and salt one-ffth, adding to each acre of
old lawn two bushels of Kentucky blue
grass and one bushel of creeping bent
grass. The cost of this is as nothing,
compared with the labor and annoyance
of having to weed continually after an ap-
plication of barn-yard manure; and the
beauty of a lawn so improved needs to be
seen only once in order to make the stu
pidest and most obstinate old fogy &C.
knowledge its superiority.-Cor. Rural

Eating Green Corn.

LAST autumn persons who wishedto OBJ
serve "the prophecies" inquired of US
whether it was according to good usaget0
gnaw the corn from the cob, or if it should
be cut into the plate. Generally, though
not always, matters of table etiquette are
founded in common sense. A bird can
only be properly enjoyed by picking it,
hence good usage sanctions the use of the
fingers in removing the flesh from the
bones of a bird, while one who should
take the bone of a beefsteak, or a mutton
chop, in his fingers, would be looked upon
as iil-bred. The only way to get the full
satisfaction out of green corn is to gnaw
it from the cob, and though the operation,
especially to a foreigner who knows not
corn, is not an elegant one to witness, it
is performed at the b~est-ordered tables.
So generally is it conceded that corn
should be eaten from the cob, that silver
smiths now make silver green-com
handles; these are thrust into the large end
of the cob, and allow it to be held with
out soiling the fingers. 1t is rather a
awkward matter to cut the corn from the
ear at table, especially if the knives are
not sharp. If it is to be eaten in this way,
it should be prepared before it is sent 10
the table. The operation of eating from
the cob ia much facilitated by drawing a

How a Woman Keeps. a Secret.

1t is an old quib upon women that q
woman cannot keep secrets; but the fact
is they are the only part of humanity that
can. A wife keeps a husbands secret in
comparably better than he does hers. We
calculate that there is one drunken wife to
about four hundred and ninety mine drunk
en- husbands. In gambling, liecentious-
ness, lying, cheating, hypocrisy, covetous-
ness, there is pretty near the same pro-
portion. Yet of the four hundred and
n~inety-nine wives, four hundred conceal,
cover up, silently endure the terrible
secret; while the one husband mourns over
his wife's frailty in the study of his pastor,
and to the ear of his friend, and probably
complains of it to a court oflaw. 1t is the
same between brother and sister. The Sc
crets a woman talks about are of the kind
that are unimportant and most agreeable
to hear. But of serious secrets she is as
reticent as the grave. That is our obser-
walton, and in our various relations of
physician. lawyer, and unordained minis
ter, we have had opportunities for a great
deal of Observation-Disclosures Church

The Sore Head In Poultry.

A correspondent in an exchange gives
the following remedy for the above dis
ease which he states has never failed him
"In the absence of a better cognomen,
I have called the disease the swell head
The first symptoms are a watery and
frothy collection of matter in the eye,
often accompanied by warts or sores on
the head. If not attended to, the forma-
ton of a white tough matter begins inside
OF the eyelid, and always below the eye,
accompanied by considerable inflamma-
ton. The swelling increases rapidly, fire.
quently extending to the inside of the
throat, which becomes liberated. The
fowl becomes blind in one or both eyes
as the disease sometimes attacks only one
eye at 8 tlme-and death ensues. The
disease is highly contagious, and frequent
ly sweeps the poultry-yard if not arrested.
/ have never failed TO cure a case even
when the fowls eyes were completely
shut from the swelling. The frothy mat
ter first collects in the front OF outer
corner of the eye, then to some extent
impairing the vision, which will be per
ceived by the fowl striving often to wipe
it away on its.feathers.
"Poultry thus affected should at once
be placed in a coop by themselves. Make
a strong brine in an old cup, or some other
suitable vessel, and wash the head at least
twice a day, using a soft rag. Suffer the
brine to go into the eye, as it seems to ar
rest the formation of the hard, laugh mat
ter alluded to. 1t sometimes occurs that
this formation has already taken place be-
fore the disease is discovered. In such
cases 1 sharpen a piece of chip, and by
carefully inserting it between the eye and
the lid remove it entirely. If not removed
by an operation, though the eye become
cured, there will always be an unsightly
protuberance.
aft the head and gills have warts on
them, the scab should be removed by the
finger nail, or by a pocket knife, previous
to the washing. do not remember ever
losing but one case under this treatment,
though I have often had to feed them by
hand for two or three days, On account of
blindness from swelling; and this case was
SO far gone when 1 took it in hand that
ulcers had formed in the windpipe. In
addition to the above treatment, the
nostrils must be kept free of matter by
pressing with a rag outward along the
heakn

An Indian JuggIer.

WHILE the tom-tom wal beating and
the pipe playing, the juggler singing all
the time in low accents, smoothed a place
in the gravel three or four yards before US.
Having thus prepared a bed for the plant
to grow in, he took a basket and placed it
over the prepared place, covering it with
a thin blanket. The man himself did not
wear a thread of clothing, except a strip
around his loins. The time seemed now
to have come for the detectives eyel So
just as he was becoming more earnest in
his song, and while the tom-tom beat and
the pipes shrilled more loudly, / stepped
forward with becoming dignity, and beg
ged him to bring the basket and its cover
over to me. He cheerfully complied, and
l carefully examined the basket, which
was made of open wicker-work. I then
examined the cloth covering, which was
thin, almost transparent, and certainly
had nothing concealed in it. I then fixed
my eyes upon his strip of clothing with
such intensity that it was not possible it
could have been touched without discov-
cry, and babe him go on, feeling sure that
the trick could not succeed. Sitting down
he stretched his naked arms under the
basket, singing and smiling as he did so;
then lifted the basket off the ground, and
behold, a green plant about a foot high!
Satisfied with our ~spplsuses he went on
with his incantations. After having sat a
little TO give his plant time to grow, he
again lifted the basket and the plant was
now two feet high. He asked US to wait
a little longer that we might taste the
fruitl But on being assured, by those
who had seen the trick performed before,
that the result would be obtained, I con-
fessed myself "done," without the slight
est notion of the how. l examined the
ground and found it was smooth and I'M
turned Apparently delighted gith my
surprise the juggler stood up laughing,
when n of his COMPANIONS chucked a
pebble to him, which he put into his
mouth Immediately the same compan-
ion, walking backwards, drew forth a cord
OF sllk, twenty yards or SO in length; af-
ter which the juggler, with his hands be-
hind his back, threw forth from his mouth
tyo decanter shoppers, two shells, a spin
ming top, a stone and several other things,
followed by a long jet of firel If the
wise reader regrets so much space being
taken up by such a story, let him pass it
on to the children, foolish as myself, who
will be glad to read it-Pee5s at the Far
