F A PLEASANT GAME.--it can be
played by any number Of persnns. Let
all be provided with pencil and paper
except one, who is ths'time-keeper and
umpire. Choose some word containing
a variety of letters, as, for Instance.
New Hampshire, which each one writes
at the head of.his paper. When all are
ready rliiey write down all the words
they. cad think of beginning with the
letter Nsausing only the letters con-
tanned in tbs wcrd New Humpshire, ,sand
no letter more times in the same word
than is used there. AT the end Of three
or FIVE minutes, as may be agreed upon,
thetime-keepergives notice, aud they each
count the words they have writea. The
one who has the most reads his, the
others looking over their own lists and
erasing any like words that may be
found there. Each one reads his un.
erased words in turn, and, when all have
finished, the number which each has
left counts so many on the game. After
N is disposed of take up E, and so on
through the whole word, except when
letter occurs twice; then the repeti-
tion is omitted. AT the close each play
er counts up his unerased words, and
whoever has got the greatest number
wins the game,

death, the nephew was learning his trade
of machinist, in his uncle S shop, working
diligently every day; subject to the same

he becan millionaire: but choosing
guardian to manage his property, he
continued at his labor and served his ap-
premiership. Nov, when he walks the
rooms Of his fine house, or drives
handsome and costly team he has a con.
sciousness that if his riches takes to

livelihood, and can make arfortune for
himself. He was q great mechanic, aud
is not ashamed ot-t again. Labor, with
its accompanying dirt, is not dishonor-
able or degrading; laziness, and its al.
most necessary evils, are disgusting aud
destroying. Dirty hands and sense of
independence are to be preferrel to kid

SKINNED Milk for Hens,

The editor Of the Poultry World, finding
that a 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
thatany sou. milk tbickened with bran.
is very excellent food for all kinds OF
poultry.
They commenced laying in October.
and have been at it ever since, to the
establishment if not the envy of tic neigh.
bors OF the fortunate owner, who has been
selling eggs tor the past our months for
torty-hve cents per dozen and upward
Not one ptrtlcle of meat or scrap is given.
aud but the veriest trife of vegetable
food IS fed in the shape of few boiled
potatoes about once a week. An abund-
ance of grain is allowed of various sorts
ground and ungleund. but never cooked,
and plenty of unburnt oyster she'll pound
eel, are at all times accessible. They
have a supply of skinned milk every day
so that they Can help themselves to what
they Want, no other drink being provided.
Skinned milk and the white Of an erg
a1e very much alike, though the cream
has teen separated, undoub .edly the full
allowance OF Indian corn supplies the oily
constituents Of the yoIk. Some farm ers
think they cannot afford to give milk
|" hens, but must save it for the pigs
but If SKINNED milk Is worth one and one
halt cents per quart to feed to swine, as
some clam, it is worth three cents for
poultry, IT by Its use, winter eggs can be
obtained and sold at high prices.

The Investment of Savings.


A prominent New England banker
having sold to his customers a consid.
cradle amount of Northern Pacific Rail-
road bonds, decided to make an exami-
nation of the accessible parts of the line
OF the road, to see for himself the char
acter and progress of the work, the
quality Of the company's lands, the ma
ture OF the country traversed and the
prospects of the enterprise generally
He spent three months of the present
season In making the tour, going first to
the Pacific coast and visiting the route in
Washington Territory, along the Puget
Sound Basin and Columbia Valley, to
| the western slope of the Rocky Noun.
| tains, then returning eastward and
spending considerable time in Dakota
| and Minnesota.
| After thorough examination he con-
cludes: l. That in not a single par
tlcular, so far as we can Judge, do the
| publications of the Railroad Company
overstate the advantages of the route,
while in many regards these advantages
exceed any published statement; g. The
work IS advancing both from the East
and the West at a satisfactory rate 3.
Intelligence, honesty and energy mark
| the management of the enterprise IN the
| field 4. A large and lucrative traffic
| awaits the completion of the various sec
tons of the line; 5. The resources pos
sessed by the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, in its munifcent grant of fer
tile land with accompanying privileges,
are more than sufficient, when properly
developed, to cover the cost of bui lding
and equipping tae entire Road and pro
vide depots, docks and other facilities
6. The belt of country along the middle
OF which the road runs, and whose trade,
travel and business are naturally tribu-
tary to it, embraces the finest body of
unoccupied land on the continent; 7.
With efficient management (Which seems
to be amply guaranteed by the high
character and well-known experience
and ability of the Directory, the lands
and traffic of the company should render
It's first mortgage bonds one of the safest
OF investments, sure to rise much above
par in market value on the completion
of the road and the closing of the
loan. ..-.
Now that Government bonds can no
longer be purchased except atsrch high
prices as to reduce the rate of interest
to about per cent, Northern Pacific
Railroad bonds, with their real estate
security, have become favorite means
of investments. As they are issued in
denominations as small as one hundred
dollars, persons of small means can
purchase them as we'll as capitalists :;
and as they are registered as well as
coupon, money invested in the former
is perfectly protected against fire, theft,
or other loss. The semi-annual inter
est on the registered bonds is paid by
gold checks sent regularly to the post
office address Of the holder, in airy part
of the country. The rate of interest is
seven and three-tenths per cent. gold,
or about 81 in currency. The bonds
can be ordered through almost any
bank or banker, or directly from the

cifie Railroad Company, Messrs. Jay

Yet while they fall, still fail,
