STEwED thanksgiving is uudoubt-
eddy the most economical mode of cooking
meats; by its use every part of tho meat
is retained, and nothing is lost or wasted.
Joints. too tough or sinewy to be used in
any other way, may be stewed with advan-
tage. Stewing consists in subjectiug meat
for considerable time to very moderate
heat in small quantity of water. No
good stew for an early dinner can be made
the day it is wanted. The plan recon-
mended is to cut the meat in pieces of the
required size, pack them closely together,
covering them with cold water, or, what is
preferable, broth; place the stew-pan
where it will gradually warm, aud keep it
for some hours at heat considerably short
OF boiling. The albumen is thus dissolved
and the fbres so far softened and separated

aigestibIe. The stew should be put away

TAKING CARE OF FARM TOOLS.-Eve.
~ farmer, says the Farm Journal, should
have can of linseed oil and brush on
hand, and whenever he buys new tool he
should soak it well with the oil and dry it
by the FIRE or in the sun before using. The
wood by this treatment is toughened and
strengthened, and rendered impervious to
water. Wet new hay rake, and when it
dries it will begin to be loose in the joints
but if well oiled, the wet will have but
slight effect Shovels and forks are pre-
served from checking and cracking in the
top Of the handle by oiliug; the wood be-
comes as smooth as glass by use, and i; far
less liable to blister the hand when long
used. Axe and hammer handles often
break off where the wood enters the iron
this particularly should be toughened with
oil, to secure durability. Oiling the wood
IN the eye of the axe will prevent its swell
ling and shrinking, aud sometimes getting
loose. The tools on large farm cost
large sum of money; they should be of the
most approved kinds. tits poor economy
at the present extravagant price of labor to
set men to work with ordinary, oldfashion-
ed implements. Laborers should be re.
CURED to return their tools to the conven-
lent places for them; after using they
should be put away clean and bright. The
mould.boards of ploughs are apt to get
rusty from one season to another, even if
sheltered; they should be brushed over
with few drops of oil when put away,
and will then remain in good, order until
wanted.

TATTLERs.-Every community is cursed
BY the presence of class of people who
make it their business to attend to every.
body's affairs but their own. Such people
are the poorest specimens of humanity
which exist upon this blishtcd earth. 1t
is we'll known that almost every person is
sometimes disposed to speak evil Of others,
and tatting is a sin from which very few
can claim to be entirely exempt. But the
object of this present article is to speak of
that distinct class of tattlers who make
lives. They pry into the private affairs Of
every family in the neighborhood they
know the exact state OF one neighbours
feelings towards another; they understand
everybody's faults, and no little blundcr
or misdemeanor ever escapes their watch
fulncss. They are well posted upon every
thing connected with courtship and
matrimony, and know who are going
to marry whom, and can guess the exact
time by every movement of parties sus-
pected Of matrimonial intentions, and, if
there is the slightest chance to create a
disturbance, excite Jealousy, or " break up"
a match, they take advantage of it. and do
all in their power to keep people in state
of constant vexation. They glide quietly
from gentleman to lady, from mother to
daughter, from father to son, and in the
ears Of all they pour their bitter whispers
of SANDER and abuse, and, at the same time
pretend to be the most sincere friends of
those they talk to. Their nauseous pills of
SANDER are sugared with smiles and words
Of friendship.
Tattlers are confined to no particular
class, and they operate in all. We find
them among the rich, and the poor" up
per ten" and the lower Million" in the
church and out of it. They are people
who have no higher ambition than to be
we'll informed in regard to other peoples
private business, to retail scandal to their
neighbors, and to exsut in fendish tri-
umphs over the wounded feelings and
bruised hearts of their innocent victims.

For State Superintendent Of Schools

The interest in the nomination OF
an able and fit man for this impor-
tant and responsible position is in
creasing daily, and as natural
consequence of this interest the
names of many excellent educators
in different parts of the State are
being suggested by partial friends
rs suitable candidates for the place.
In this section of the State the re-
cent declination of Mcssrs. Piper
and Allen takes out of the field of
candidates two very able. men,
either of whom would, without
doubt, have administered the duties
of the office with vast advantage to
the educational interests of the
State. But there are other men in
Northern Iowa who would prove
equally able and efficient. Among
the candidates recently brought for
ward is gentleman from our own
city, Prof. Wilson Palmer, princi-
pal of our city schools, President
of the Association of Principals and
Superintendents ofSchools in North
crn Iowa, and an intelligent and
jealous promoter of the cause of ed
ucation generally. A correspond
cnt of the Dubuque Times makes
the first public suggestion Of his
name as candidate for the Office of
State Superintendent, and pays him
a none too flattering compliment for
scholarship, industry, zeal and abil-
ity. 1t is unnecessary to speak OF
Mr.. Palmer's fitness for the position
to our home readers. The skill and
industry he has manifested in the
organization and government of our
own schools, sometimes under add
verse circumstances, ana tHc aDSoTD-
ing interest which he has always
manifested in their welfare are his
sufficient credentials for fitness, with
our people. To our friends abroad
we can truly say that while they
will find little of the politician, lit
tie of ostentation and pedantry in
Mr.. Palmcr's composition they will
nevertheless find few men who will
bring to the performance OF the du-
ties of the office more conscientious
zeal, more enthusiasm, or greater
interest in the advancement and per-
lection of our educational system
than he.

Capt. Halls Polar Expedition.
the WASHINGTON Patriot.

From the Washington Patriot.
The circumstances Of the over
hauling, fitting out and launching
of the steamer Polaris, late the Per-
twinkle, have already been record
ed in the Puhiot. Capt. Hall, it
is understood, will sail from this
city on or about the 25th Of May.
The exploring party, reaching Cape
Resolution by the middle Of June,
will enter Hudson strait, and, steam
ing slowly up the broad channel,
will occupy the time until the pack
ice opens In July in trading with
the Esquimaux at Upper and Lower
Savage and South ampton islands,
the former situated in the straits,
and the latter at the head Of Hudson
bay. They will there procure furs,
skins, &c, for clothing, and will
provide themselves with several
packs of the indispensable Esqui-
maux dog, with which to hunt and
drag their heavy sleds. AS soon as
the straits are clear OF leo the
steamer proceeds to Ropulso bay,
Captain Halls old rendezvous, and,
if it is practicable, will then make
an etford to force their way through
the pack-ice into Fox's channel, and
up through King Williams Land,
to about so . north. Here they are
expected to spend their first wln-
ter.
Early in the spring of 1872, after
having passed the winter in train
ing the dogs, establishing caches,
and making other important pre-
parations, the party will leave the
vessel and start, with their boats
secured to the sleds, and amply pro-
visioned for six months, on their
journey over the ice to Baftn's bay,
Smiths sound, and, it is hoped,
the open Polar sea.
The Polaris is to be well manned
with experienced officers and sea-
man. Captain S. O. Buddington,
an old and experienced whaling
master from the village of Groton,
opposite New London, Conn.,, is to
be sailing-master, and will carry
with him, as assistants, officers who
have for years buffetted storms OF
the long Arctic winter. The crew
is to consist Of twelve seaman, be-
sides two cooks and the same num-
her of stewards, and four fireman.
