The Price of Glory,

Since the close of the war with France.
Germany has received from that unfor,
tunate country, in the shape of indem-
nifty, four hundred and eighty million dol
lars. There is still remaining, six hun,
dred and sixty million dollars before the
Prusian army of occupation is finally
Withdrawn.
The wonder is where France gets all
the money, and what Germany is going
to do with it after it is all paid over to
her. 1t is estimated that the entire cost
of the war to Germany was about two
hundred and seventy five million dollars
so that the job of huniliating and i'm
poverishing troublesome neighbor has
proved porbably the most profitable
financial performance in the annals oil
military history, ancient, mediaeval OF
modern.

Use of Fruits.

Instead of standing in fear of gen.
erous consumption of ripe fruit one should
regard it as decidedly conductive to
health. The very diseases, says the Coun-
try Gentleman, commonly assumed to
have their origin in the free use of all
kinds of berries, apples, peaches, pears,
cherries, and melons, have been quite as
prevalent, if not equally destructive, in
seasons of scarcity. There are so many
erroneous notions entertained of the bad
effect of fruit that it is quite time coun
teractiug impression should be promulga-
ted, having it's foundation in common
sense and based on the common observa
ton of the intelligent. No one ever liv
ed longer or freer from the attacks of dis
ease, by discarding the delicious fruits of
our country. On the contrary, they are
very essential to the preservation of health,
and are therefore given to us at the time
when the condition of the body, o. Grated
upon by deteriorating causes not always
comprehended, requires their greatfui,
renovatiug influences. Unripe fruit may
cause. illuess, but fresh, ripe fruit is al
ways healthful.

CHILDREN.

Nothing is more charming than to see
happy, healthy children, aud to see them
also neatly and tastefuliy dressed. But
simplicity is the charm of youth fresh
young face needs lite adoruments. Rich
garments, jewlery, and extra number of
ribbons, founces, ruffies. and puffs add
nothing to the beauty of chilehood.v-
Mothers nowadays incline to dress their
children like miniature men aud women.
In so doing they not only make great
mistake, but they wrong their children,
particularly their little girls, who at ten
are often seen decked out in as much
finery as fashionable woman of fifty
In the first place, this style Of dressing
makes the young girl look old, and robs
her of all that fresh simplicity which is
so natural and pleasing. She appears ar
tifcial, constrained, and disagreeably self
conscious. Her thoughts are necessarily
much upon her adornments, and she has
not yet learned to co mccall the fact
What mother has the right thus to i'm
pair the beauty of her child :? Then,
again the health and comfort of the lit
tie girl are seriously interfered with by
the care she is expected to give to her
fine garments. She cannot run and jump
and rump about as she longs to do, lest
she tears them she must seat herself cir
cumspectly, lest she crush the trimmings;
she must be constantly on her guard, lest
she soil the delicate fabrics. At many
fashionable summer resorts it is positively
painful to notice how absurdly this sys-
tenn of ornamenting children is practiced-
1t is hoped that sensible mothers will not
interfere with their ohildren's rights in
this respect Give them simple cloth
ing, for this does not prevent the gar
meuts being pretty aud tasteful. But
let young folks have chance to be young.
In America we all grow old too fast-not
in years but in thought, in feeling, and
habits.

A Horse Story.

Mr.. Catje retired grocer of Williams.
burg, says the New York Sun, purchased
a sorrel horse about four months ago
Every week day and Sunday he drove the
animal. Being OF sociable disposition he
made frequent stopping places and re
turned home late. His horse was ne
elected and suffered ID consequence of
Mr.. Gates eccentricities This neglect
aud i'll treatment soon began to show on
the horse. Large sores broke out over
his body and he became emacated. Find
ing that it would cost him too much trou
bic and money to recuperate the poor
animal, he resolved to kill him. He
placed rope around the horses neck and
walked him to the dead horses dock
The animal was tied to post. A num-
Der of aborers and boys stood around
while the men of the horse boat prepared
to kill the poor brute. Mr.. Catje stood
in the crowd. The blow, iustea of
knocking him insensible, merely stunned
him. Before it could be repeated the
horse, with desperate jerk, broke loosed
from his fastening and darted at the crowd
of people Singing out Cattle, he ran
for him. Scarcely comprehending the
situation, as he a!terward said, he ran for
his life up the wharf to the lumber yard.
In and around the piles of lumber, up
and down ran Cattle, followed by the horse
with mouth extended. Large fakes of
iroth covered his breast. The people on
the pier stood in amazement, unable to
render any assistance. Finally, after Catje
had ran around the yard number of
times, and when nearly exhausted, he
jumped for pile of boards, to the top of
which he clambered just as the horse,
with bound, struck his forefeet on the
boards and strove to clutch the terrified
man. AS Cattle dropped on the boards
exhausted, the horse, with a roar, fell to
the ground dead. His eyes were pro
truding from their sockets, and his month
wide open. Catje was removed to his
home He has torn down his stables,
and intends to own no more horses.

The Lightning Rod Swindle.
So many people have suffered f

So many people have suffered from a
crowd of swindlers who do business in
lightning rods, that we give the follow
ing story, in order that you may Judge
the swindlers from the honest men.
A man Of good address, in fact what
may be termed good talker, makes his
appearance, driving a smart turn out, and
engages the owner of house (if new
one, so much the better,) in conversa-
ton, and cxpatiates on the advantages of
having ones house or barn protected
from lightning. He has collection of
newspaper slips containing accounts of
buildings that have been struck by light
ming, and in part or wholly destroyed.
If any of these have occurred within a
comparatively short distance of the To-
cality where the agent then is, so much
the better. He so works upon the fears
of the house owner, that the latter, if of
nervous temperament, fully expects to
have his buildings destroyed by the cleo
trio fluid the next time thunder shower
comes that way. He, finally, asks to see
the price list of the agent, and the latter
exhibits it, and shows that for a COM
paratively small sum, lightning rods, with
the necessary attachments, can be erect
ed. A bargain is struck, and it is agreed
that for sum ranging from S25 to $50,
the house will be made safe against cleo
trio fluid in whatever shape it may come
Before leaving, however, the agent looks
over the buildings. aud suggests one or
two additions, without mentioning, how
ever, that it will incur additional ex-
pense or, if the purchaser is cautions
enough to make an inquiry, is assured
that the additional expense will be trih,
ing, aud is as nothing compared to the
additional security that will be afforded
The agent drives away, and in few days
thereafter, two men arrive, fully provided
with all the necessary implements and
materials, and proceeds to erect the light
| ming rods and attachments. The work is
done, and the men drive away. In a
short time, bill for the work done is
sent in, and the house owner is astound-
ed to fnd that he is called upon to pay,
not S25 or $50, as he had supposed, but
from Sl25 to $3.50 He calls at the Of.
fee of the company, and demands an ex-
a correct one-that the items are proper,
ly rendered, and that payment must be
made. He instances the bargain original
| ly made with the agent, and is told that is
of no account, because of the additions at
terward made. In rage, the victim de
clares that he will never pay the bill, and
is assured that he will be sued for it, and
that he will merely have the expense OF
the suit, in addition to his bill, to pay =
fhe still refuses payment, suit is brought
and by din't of swearing to each indivi
dual item on the part of the agent auc
employer, the victim is beaten, and com

The Housekeeper,

FRIED SoUAsH-Slice thin, dip in
egg, then in -four, and fry in butter.
LAMP CHIMNEys are most apt to crack
after being washed. In my own ex-
perience, they are less apt to break it
moistened with the breath and polished
with cloth or paper, and afterwards
with chamois skin, which gives them q
clear brilliaDcy.
CREAM CAKE.-A cheap and excel
lent cream cake for every day is made in
this way: Break two eggs into cup,
and fill the cup up with sour cream. Add
one cup of sugar, one cup of -four (per-
haps a very little more), salt, soda and
nutmeg This can be used also for jelly
cake.
To SoFTNN PUTTT remove old
putty from broken windows, dip small
brush in nitric or muriatic acid (obtaina-
bic at any druggists and with it annoint
or paint over the dry putty that adheres to
the broken glass and frames of your win
dows after an hours interval the putty
will become so soft as to be removed
easily.
DRYING PUMPKINs.-Peel and cut as
for stewing; then slice very thin Git can
be done with a cabbage slicer) then
spread on tins or other dryers, and put in
the stove oven with moderate heat. Ii

any other way, In preparing it for pies,
soak it in water a few hours and stew in
the same water.
PRESERVED APPLES s-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 or three pieces of white
ginger if you have it. Boil till the apples
fall and look yellow This preserve will
keep for years.
RAIN WATER BARRELS Where it is
desirable to catch rain water for washing,
and there is no cistern for the purpose.
kerosene barrels are very useful. You
can buy them for seventy five cents
apiece. Light match aud apply it to
the oily inside of the barrel, and it will
burn away the oil and give you a clean
whole barrel. Of course none but an
idiot would do this where the flames
would endauger house, barn or ether
property.

To Keep Cider.

Below we give two receipts, one Of
which will! preserve the cider sweet, or
in the condition it is in at the time the
treatment is applied; the other is ap-
plicable only after the cider has ferment-
ed According to No. l, one fourth of
an ounce per gallon of sulphate of lime
should be added soon after the cider runs
from the press. This can best be done
by adding the sulphate of lime to gallon
or so of cider in separate vessel, and
after stirring well pour into the barrel.
The cider will keep in the condition is
was at the time the lime was added. This
plan will work equally well if the cider
be partially or wholly fermented when
the lime is put in. 1t does not appear
to be absolutely necessary to rack off the
cider uues it is to be transported in thas
case it should be racked in about ten
days after application of the remedy.

The Poor Man and his Home.

If ever household affection and loves
are graceful things, they are graceful in
the poor. The ties that bind the wealthy
and the proud to home may be forged on
earth, but those which link the poor men
to his humble hearth are of the truer met
al and bear the stamp of Heaven. The
man Of high descent may love the halls
and lands of his inheritance as part Of
himself, as trophies of his birth and pow
err +; his associations of pride and wealth
and triumph the poor mans attachment
to the tenement he holds, which strangers
have held before, and may to morrow oc-
cupy agains, has worthier root, stuck
deep into purer soil. His household
gods are Of flesh and blood, with no alloy
of silver, gold, or precious stone. He has
no property but in the affections of his
own heart; and when they endear bare
walls and floors, despite of rags aud toll
and scanty fare, that man has his love Of
home from God, and his rude hat becomes
a solemn place.
Oh if those who rule the destinies Of
nations would but remember this-if they
would think how hard it is for the very
poor to have engendered in their hearts
that love of home from which all domes
tic virtues spring, when they live in dense
and squalid masses where social decency
is lost. or rather never found-if they
would but turn aside from the wide thor
oughfares aud great houses, and strive to
improve the wretched dwellings in by.
ways where only Poverty may walk
many low roofs would point more truly to
the sky than the loftiest steeple that now
rears proudly up from the midst of guilt.
and crime and horrible disease, to mock
them by its contrast. In hollow voices
from work house, hospital, and Jail, this
truth has been preached from day to day,
and has been proclaimed for years. 1t is
no light matter-no outcry from the work
ing vul lgar-no mean question of the peo-
pies health and comforts that may be
whistled down on Wednesday. In the
love of home, the love Of country has it's
rise aud who are the truer patriots, or
better in time of need-those who venerate
the land, owning its wood, and stream,
aud earth, and all that they produce or
