A {" Dickens +" Baby.

It was a popularity of this baby to
be always cutting teeth. Whether they
never came, or whether they came and
went away gain, is not in evidence;
but it had certainly cut enough, on the
showing of its mother, to make a
handsome dental provision for the sign
of the Bull and Mouth. All sorts of
objects We're impressed for the rubbing
of it's gums, Notwithstanding that it
always carried dangling at it's waist
(which was Immediately under it's
chin) a bone ring, large enough to
have represented the rosary of a young
nun. Knife handles, umbrella-tops,
the heads of walking sticks selected
from the stock, the fingers of the FAM
lily, nutmeg-graters. crusts, the handles
of doors, and the cool knobs on
the tops of pokers, were among
the commonest Instruments indiscrim-
inately applied to the baby's relief.
The amount of electricity that must
have been rubbed out of it in q week
is not to be calculated. Still it's moth
err always said, cit was coming through
and then the child would be herself"
and still it never did come through,
and the child continued to be some
body else.

Hest life to help to be useful to wait
on others rather than to be waited on.
They should learn to be thoughtful
to take care; to accept responsibility;
to live a life as serious as their mental
powers and their social, domestic and
individual affections arepure, dignified
and exalted. If any say We have over
colored the statement of the case, and
girls are not brought up in idleness
and frivolity and dissipation, we are
glad, for the sake of those who deny
the picture, that their daughters are
better educated. We do not write for
their instruction, but for the instruc.
ton of those who neglect that moral
education of their children which is
not to be found in sermons and Sunday
school lessons, but in the actual service
of life; that moral education which is
to keep childhood pure, sweet and
holy, aud make it strong for the pur-
pose Of existence"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Washing Butter.

We copy the following from the FIRE.
donia Censor:
This practice is by some butter-makers
looked upon as injurious, and it is point
upon which divers opinion are held. One
says" never allow particle of water to
touch my butter.' 1t is claimed that by
this practice the butter has a iicher flavor,
that washing takes away. Ifbutter could
be entirely freed from casein, which even
washing will not do perfectly, it would
keep almost an indefinite time with good
care But we are told that unwashed but
ter contains about five or six per cent. of
casein, while that which is well washed
will retain only about one per cent. of it.
We believe that it Is better to wash the
casein than t o work il out, even if working
would do as well, for the reason that the
less you work the butter the better it is.
If there were some process whereby butter
could be extracted from the milk inmedia.
fly after it is taken from the cow, and the
animal heat is gone, without injury to the
butter, the keeping qualities of the butter
would be greatly improved. Is it hoping
too much that science will some day do it
A large portion of the milk us it comes
from the cow is water, and why should
pure water injure butter? We Can readily
see that if the water contains mineral SUBJ
stances, or is impure, It would produce in
jury. No one claims but that washing is
necessary where butter is intended for long
keeping; and if,as is claimed, the aroma is
washed away, there is no doubt but that
this aroma is from The casein that remains
in all unwashed butter for even washing
will not extract all oft.
One thing is exploded that has long
been a hobby, and that is, you must pound
about SO long to get good butter. If the
temperature is right, and the previous care
has been right, five or ten minutes will
bring as good or better butter than hours
of pounding. This we have demonstrated
to our satisfaction; and we are prepared
to expect that other changes in butter
making will come in due time. The more
quickly butter is made, and the air shut
from it, the better, if only the next hour
after the milk is drawn from the cow.

Horrible Accident.

One of the most horrible accidents
on record occurred at Manchester, Ia, a
few days since to the young and only
son of A. w. Stevens, a prominent citi.
zen of that place. The lad, in company
with playmate, noticed large boar,
which had broken from an Enclosure,
attempted to drive the animal
with sticks, which so enraged
the animal that it turned and at
tackled the boys, one OF whom
escaped by jumping into wagon The
other, young Stevens, was unable to
avoid the Infatuated animal, and had
his bowels actually cut out so that I'M
loosing his pants, they ell to the
ground. He commenced running with
his intestlnes gathered in his hands
aud arms. A lady passing along wit
messed the scene with horror, and at
tempted in vain to help the lad. She
secured his bowels properly, but in.
Illumination and modification having
set in, resulted III the death of the
boy this evening.

Helpful Hints for House wives.

To CLEAN WHITE PAINT.-Use powders
ed French chalk and hot water (Flenc b
chalk is the common steatite, or soap
stone), without soap.
CLEANING GUTTA.PERCHA.-This can be
done by using a mixture of soap and
powdered charcoal upon It,
INK FROM FLooRs.-Ink spots on floors
can be extracted by securing with sand,
wetted in oil of vitriol and water When
the ink is removed, rinse with strong peare
ash water.
APPLE CoBBLER.-Pare, core, and slice
twelve large tart apples. Add to them
the juice of two lemons and the grated
peal OF one; sweeten to taste stew very
slowly for two hours; turn into mould.
when cold, serve with cream.
HICKORY NUT. CAKE Take one half cup
of butter, two cups of sugar, and four eggs
beaten separately, thr'e cups of flour,
one.half cup OF sweet milk, two teaspoons
OF bak ng-powder, two cups IF hickory
nut beats cut fine, one teaspoon extract of
vanilla.
HoMINY PUDDING.-Prepare as for bat
ter cakes, add one egg to each pint, some
whole cinnamon, sugar to suit the taste,
and few raisiDs, and bake like rice pud-
ding. A little butter or chopped suet may
be added. Serve hot or cold, with or with
out sauce.
To WASH CALIco.-To prevent calico
from fading while washing, infuse three
gills of salt into four quarts Of water; put
the calico in while hot and leave it till cold.
In this way the colors are rendered per.
mahent, and will not fade by subsequent
washings.
HoMINY BREAKFAST CAKEs.-Mash the
cold hominy with a rolling pin, and add a
little floar aud milk batter, so as to make
the whole thick enough to form in'o little
cakes in the hand, or it may be put upon
the griddle with a spoon. Bake bro wn,
eat hot, and declare you never ate anything
better Of the batter cake kind.
CRYsTALIziNG GRASSES. - The long
feathery grasses are the best for this pur-
pose. They must be thoi oughly dry
formed in The desired shape, and fastened
securely before being put in the bath. To
make the solution, take one pound of the
best alum, pound it quite fine, and dissolve
il in quart OF clear water, over a slow
fire, but do not let il bill. Take II deep
jar and suspend the bouquet in it by a
string from n stick laid across the jar,
when the solution is milk warm, pour it
over the grasses, cover it up, and set it
away for twenty four hours. Then take
them out carefully and let them hang
several hours in the sun till all the water is
drained away. Then set them away and
do not move them for two or three days,
when they will be entirely dry. The So
luton may be heated over and used as be-
fore.
For blue crystals use saturated solu-
ton Of snlphate Of copper in bot water.
Fer yellow use the yellow prussiate of
potash. These crystaiized boquets should
he kept under glass shades, OF their beau.
W will soon fade.

Skim med Milk for Hens,

The editor of the Poultry World, finding
that neighbOr, whom he had furnished
with pullets, had beaten him In eggs, in.
quired into the cause, and gives the fol
lowing explanation. To this we may add
that any SOU milk tbickened with bran,
is very excellent food for all kinds of
poultry.
"rhey commenced laying in October
and have been at it ever since, to the
establishment il not the envy of tie neigh.
bors of the fortunate owner, who has been
selling eggs tor the past our months for
forty-tive cents per dozen and upward
Not one particle of meat or scrap is given,
and but the veriest trif1e of vegetable
food is fed in the shape of a few boiled
potatoes about once week. An abund-
ance of gram is allowed of various sorts
ground and ungiound. but never cooked,
and plenty of unburnt oyster shell pound
ed, are at all times accessible. They
have a supply of skimmed milk every day
so that they Can help themselves to what
they want, no other drink being provided.
Skinned milk and the white If an egg
are very much alike, though the cream
has Ieen separated. undoub edly the full
allowance OF Indian corn supplies ths oily
constituents of the yolk. Some farmers
think they cannot afford to give milk
to hens, but must save it for the pigs.
but if skinned milk Is worth one and one
half cents per quart 10 feed to swine, as
some claim, it is worth three cents for
poultry, if by its use, winter eggs Can be
obtained and sold at high prices.
