Farmhouse Notes.

SMUT IN WHEAT.-For four bushels of
seed dissolve one pound of blue vitriol in
water enough to soak the wheat; let it
soak six, twelve or twenty-four hours,
drain off, and roll the seed in plaster or
ashes; SOW before it has time to heat.
This will cure any seed however smutty.
DRYING PUMPRINs,-Peel and cut as
for stewing then slice very thin lit can
be done with q cabbage -slicer); then
spread on tins or other dryers and put
in the stove oven with modern heat.
It will retain its natural flavor better
than any ether way. In preparing 1t
for pies, soak it in water few hours,
and stew in the same water.
PRESERVED APPLES. - Weigh equal
quantities of good brown sugar and OF
apples peel, core and mince them
small. Boil the sugar, allowing to every
three pounds pint of water skim it
well, and boil it pretty thick then add
to the apples the grated peel of one or
two lemons, and two OF three pieces OF
white ginger if you have it. Boil till
the apples fall and look clear and yellow.
This preserve will keep for years.
CHARCOAL AND BIRTHSTONE FOR SWINE.
In every hog pen there should be a
trough, in which there should be de-
posted weekly, a quantity of charcoal.
The hog eagerly devourS this substance,
and is greatly benefited and strengthened
by its use. 1t prevents many unpleasant
diseases, and contributes largely to the
fatty secretions. A few spoonSful OF
puiYerized birthstone or -four of sulphur
in little dough, should be administered
as often as once a fortnight to swine
while fatteniDg.
How TO PRESERVE VEGETABLE MAR
Rows.-Peel the marrows, take away the
seeds, cut the vegetable into small pieces.
To every pound of marrow add half a
pound of sifted loaf sugar, the rind and
juice of lemon, half an ounce of grated
ginger. Put these into basin and let
them stand all night. The next day pour
the juice into q pan and let it boil up, then
add the vegetable. Boil all together an
hour and half, or until it becomes thick
and transparent. If put into mould
which will not affect the acid, the preserve
will look very nice when turned out for
use. Most vegetables may be prepared
the same way.
CURING HAMs.-Charles Jessop fur
nished the Maryland Agl Society the fol-
lowing recipe:-21-2 lbs. saltpetre, dried
and finely powdered, 1-2 bushel best Liver
pool salt, lbs. brown sugar, and 1-2 gal
lon molasses, Mix all in O vessel, rub
the meat. well with same, and pack with
skin down. The above is the exact
amount required for 1000 lbs. of pork.
After being in salt three to four weeks,
take out, wash clean the pieces, dry, and
hang it up for smoking. Three weeks is
sufficient to smoke them thoroughly-by
fire made of hickory wood. When
smoked, take down and bag, or place away
in dry chaff or cut straw. Examine them
occasionally, and if found to be at all
damp, renew the packing with dry mater

Queen Victoria.

When free from the cares of State,
nothing can be simpler than the daily
routine of life Queen Victoria leads at
Balmoral Castle. She manages her
household on very strict principles, the
servants rising according to merit-pro-
motion always being held out. For o
stupid act one member of the royal
household had to wait ten years for pro-
motion. Her Majesty rises at seven:
breakfasts at nine, and then attends to
dispatches and private correspondence.
Luncheon is at two, after which she takes
the air in her carriage. During meals a
piper plays in front of the window. She
dimes at half-past eight, in the library,
not having used the large dining-hall
since the death of her husband. There
is no display in the ibrary-the arrange
ments are of the simplest character.
Sbe spends much of her time alone in
Prince Aloert's room. She comes quiet
ly in to dinner, with her knitting in her
hand, and retires early. She is woman
of great method. In all weathers she is
seen abroad. \ rainy day does not keep
her in with a water proof and an UNI
brella she defes the elements. 1t is
quite common thing to see her walking
in the grounds under drizzling rain.
She is hardy woman, having no "ine
lady" faucies. She dresses consistently
with the climate and the weather and
a fresh, comely, sensible-looking lady
she is in her comfortable plain jacket and
broad -brimmed straw hat.

DISEASED LUNGS ARE GREATLY ON AN
INCREASE IN THIS COUNTRY. sud-
den changing of weather has done much
to give rise to consumption. But there
are thousands of cases who bring it on
by their own imprudence-such as wear
ing damp clothing, and going from warm
rooms into the cold air, and checking
the prespiration, which caused irritation
Of the Lungs, and then matter or phlegm
will collect, which nature will try to re.
ieve by coughing it up. If nature will
not raise the matter with ease, and stop
this Inflammation, Consumption will
soon follow. Aliens Lung Balsam will
cure and prevent thousands of cases of
Consumption if it is only taken in time.

PoMoLoG1cAI PHENOMENA. - Apples
are found which are sweet on one side
and acid on the other. Apples are also
grown without seeds, though not very
frequently. Over and over again these
statements have been questioned at hor-
ticultural meetings as being impossible.
But both facts were demonstrated at the
American Institute last season. Nearly
a peck of apples Of the first description
were sent from Georgia to convince
doubters of the possibility of such an
anomaly. Next came batch from some
where in the North, without seeds or
even cores or seed cells.
Now for an explanation Of the pheno.
menon. One theory is that the develop
ment of the seeds was suspended at an
early period of growth from an unknown
cause, not unlike the arrest of growth
of q child, which constitutes dwarf.
In the next it has been supposed sap
tubes, running side by side from the
roots of the tree, pour their secretions
on the two sides of the fruit, which pre-
sent a sort of Siamese connection, al
though they are really two distinct apples

Progress of Mormonism.

The subject of Mormonism is discussed
by the London Daily Ns'rs, which noVes
the fact that appearances show that it
is Aourishing. 1t was predicted that the
opening Of the Pacific Railway would be
Immediately followed by the collapse of
the Mormon system, seeing that railway
communications corrupt good Mormons.
The discovery and working of the silver
mines of Utah was next thought to be
fatal to Brigham Young and his followers.
Internal dissensions, coupled with legal
prosecutions, were finally regarded as
the forerunners of the dissolution of the
Mormon organization. Yet no one OF
these influences has had the anticipated
results. The Saints are still potent and
prosperous in the valley of the great
Salt Lake. They send out missionaries
and gain proSelytes. No less than 600
Mormons have just embarked from Liver
pool on their way to the earthly Zion
among the Rocky Mountains. Norway,
Sweden and Denmark furnish one half
of the recruits, England, Scotland and
Wales the other half Some are young
and some are old, the infant at the breast
being seen in company with the octa-
genarian. These facts may be distaste-
full to many persons; nevertheless they
are facts, and they admit of an explana-
tion.
What gives to Mormonism its vitality
and power is the circumstance that con-
verts not only embrace a new form Of
religion, but are provided with q new
manner of life. While they are assured
that in their persons tho promises of
Scripture are to receive marvellous full
flment, they nrc informed that for all
devout Mormons, farms are provided.
A swo-fold appeal is made to them; their
religious tastes are gratifed, and their
longing for a comfortable home is graft
fed also. Heaven is promised them
hereafter and house and garden here
below. For the time being nothing is
said about additional wives; polygamy
having become @ doctrine rather than
practice. Contrasted with the ordinary
missionary, or even with the missionaries
who, in the name of Mahomet, offered
unbelievers their choice between death
and the Koran, the missionaries of Brig
ham Young who labor among the poor
OF Europe, have superiority to which
the emigrants who have left Liverpool
for Utah, bear living and undeniable
testimony.

COMPARATIVE WEIGHT OF SOLDIERS.
During the Franco-Prussian war 1t
was estimated that, averaging both
armies, five Germans outweighed six
Frenchmen. Not only are the Germans
huge compared with Frenchmen, but
huge as compared with their own an
cestors. The Prussian soldier who
fought at Sedan averaged three inches
larger around the chest and two inches
taller than the Prussian soldier who
fought at Waterloo. This astonishing
development is ascribed to fifty years
of stringent military training, enforced
upon the whole male population.

A Gigantic Pie Bakery.

Pie baking may be called a new in.
dustry, and, at the same time, one es-
sentially American. For the benefit of
our foreign readers, we explain that in
the United States "pie" is the synony-
nous term for the English Start" or
French "tourte," meaning compound
generally suggestive of dire misery to
dyspepties, composed of fruit and two
crusts of paste. The thick deep pastry
of the vcnsion or beef of England and
foie gras of France have their counter
parts among Us as pot pies, of which the
principal contents are chicken. Their
habitat, if we may be allowed to use a
scientific term in the connection, is
New England, where, with the tradi-
tional pork and beans, they form sta
pie exercise for the ostrich like digestive
organs of our Yankee brethren.
Four great firms have united their
forces in this city and have formed the
New York Pie Baking Company. Fifty
thousand pies are daily manufactured,
and we are informed that, in event of a
strong demand, as manyas $4,000 can be
supplied. The capital stock of the COM
pany is 100000. The buildings are
constructed of brick, and are admirably
arranged for the purpose intended.
They are three stories high, with base
ment, forming the letter L, occupying
four full lots twenty-five by one hundred
feet, making a total of one hundred and
fifty feet either way. The Office is locat-
ed on the second floor Of 80 Sullivan st.
The first or ground floor is used as a re-
tail department. In the rear are locat-
Gated the bakery, storerooms, ice house,
wagon sheds, etc, In the basement are
affixed the ovens, ten in number, meas
uring ten by twelve feet, where also is in
operation q new rotary device, which
alone will bake nine hundred pies per
hour. The first floor above is apportion-
ed to the engine, boiler and delivery
rooms, The second floor is the pastry
department., where the mixing of the
dough is done, and the third floor is
given to the preparation of fruit, etc.
On this floor is stationed a huge range,
capable of cooking ten barrels of fruit at
once, also two huge copper kettles with
capacity of two barrels each. An
Otis elevator is brought into service
here, to hoist and lower the pies and
material of which they are composed.
The weekly consumption of material
is 140 barrels of flour, 42, 900 pounds of
sugar, 5000 pounds of lard, 500 barrels
of apples, 10000 pounds pumpkins and
squashes, 10000 eggs, 500 bushels ber-
ries in their season, 800 pounds of beet
for mince, 1,5O0 pounds cocoanut, 100
boxes of lemons, and spices accordingly.
They also have in constant use about
10000 pie plates, and give employ
ment to 100 workmen, running 35 wag-

Little Fingers.

All! 1 should have wandered far
Down sins wild and lonely track
Only clinging firm and fast,
Little fingers held me back.
Little fingers, soft and fair,
Littl. fingers, clinging tight,
Led me from the evil way,
Held me to the true and right.
When heavy midnight gloom
Hung above my whole Of life;
And the battle and the storm
Made each hour fearful strife;
Whe1, in beauty of the May,
had neither love nor part,
And the roses Of the June
Brought no fragrance to my heart;
When the love I dotted on
Fell like ashes N the dust,
And the leprosy Of sin
Touched the anchor Of my trust;
When SC full of selfishness,
Every lip filed every word,
And all souls seemed icy founts
Where sweet waters never stirred;
All the world a weary way,
Weary, weary, and so longl
With no justice but in might,
And no hspa but for the strong
Oh! I should have faltered then,
Wandered down sins blood-red track,
Only, clasping soft and close,
Little fingers held me back.

EATING RAW MEAT.-A relish for I'm.
cooked meats is q peculiar circumstance
in Abyssinia. They are mongrel sort
of Christians-as London cockney
would say, about "aff and aff." In the
time Of Bruce they cut slices from living
animals and swallowed them greedily.
There has been no sensible modification
of national appetite by the civilizing ia
huences of the late war, A raw porter
house steak is preferred to a boiled one.
Now one of the consequences Of dieting
on such crude aliment is fearful malady
of tapeworms.

rlnes as they marched TO the assistance
of the police to take charge of the streets
in the vicinity. Charges of powder were
laid in the cellars in Milk street, and in
few minutes the roar of numerous ex-
plosions was heard, and those terrible
sounds were dearly welcome, for they
indicated that the position was fully real
lied and that the confagration was be-
ing fairly choked. Three more explo-
sions were heard, and Immediately a
large block in Devonshire street was
blown partially into the air. Then came
the turn of Federal street and quickly a
great gap was made in that fine street.
Shortly after the remainder OF Devon
shire street was blown up.
Among the prominent buildings de,
stroyed are the National Bank of North

National Revere Bank, the Everett, the

in Temple Place, in Arm street, in Winter,
and along fremont street from School to
