Household Hints.

Keep tea in close chest or canis-
ter.
Cranberries win keep all winter in
the cellar.
Bread and cake should be kept in a
tin hox or stone jar.
Keep coffee by itself, as its odor af-
fects other articles.
Butter that is made in September
and October ia the best for winter
use.
Oranges and lemons keep best when
wrapped close in soft paper and laid
in a drawer.
Lard should be hard and white; and
that which is taken from hog over a
year O.d is the best.
To select nutmegs, pick them with
a pin. If they are good, the oil will
instantly spread around the pune
ture.
When q cask OF melasses is bought,
draw off a few quarts, else the fer
mentation produced by moving il will
bHrst the cask.
Bar soap should be cut into pieces
of convenient size, and left where will
| become dry. 1t is as well to keep
! it for several weeks before using, Il
goes fast when it is new.
Salt Goldfish should be kept in a dry
place where the Odo- af it will not af-
/ feet the air of tho house. Fish skin,
for clearing coffee, should be washed,
dried, cut small. and put into a paper
bag.
/ Rich cheese feels soft under the
pressure of the finger. That which is
very strong is neither good nor
healthy. To keep one that is cut tie
I it up in bag that will not admit flies
and hang in a cool place. If mould
appear on it, wipe it off with dry
cloth.

The Funeral Of General Meade

PHILADELPHIA, November H.
Business was almost entirely suspen-
ded to-day and the city wore q holi-
day appearance. Flags were every
where draped in mourning, and even
buildings, out of respect to the memo
~ of General Meade. The route over
which the funeral cOrtege moved,
was filed with people early this
morning. The body of the deceased
was removed from the house to st.
Marks church, where it was placed in
front of the altar, guarded by q detail
selected by General Mcdowell. Long
before half-past ten, the time fixed
for the services, the church was packed.
The officiating clergymen were Rev.
Mr.. Hoffman, the Rector, Bishop
O'Denner and Bishop WhiPple.
The first named bishop read the pray
ers and the latter made an address
eulOgistic of the deceased.
The funeral procession commenced
moving about half past eleven O'Clock
and took nearly an hour 20 pass a CIV
en- point. National, State and city
officials We'd with the private citizens
to honor the dead. The coffin was
carried on q gun carriage drawn by
six horses, and was followed by the
horse with the saddle of the deceased.
The coffin was covered with the
American colors and a sword and
wreath were on the top. General
Grant, in citizens dress, rode in an
open carriage, accom- panied by Geo
H. Stuart and other gentlemen
Generals Sherman. Sheridan and 9th.
er army officers appeared in full uni
form. The procession was very I'm
pressive affair.

venge into such mean details Of Op-
preston. Captivity itself was bitter
/ enough 4; that alone, he knew, was
sic" y wearing out the life Of the
youth by inches, and he cared not
to hasten the freedom Of friendly
death by extra means.
: There he stood, now with the slim
hands crossed On his breast, his dark
eyes uplifted TO the barred window,
through which some few sunoeams
strayed; so intent was his gaze, so
wrapt and absent his thoughts, that
the ear did not hear the heavy door
open; still less a light step enter the
prison. Yet there she stood, close by
the sister for whose sake he had
sacrificed himself with a devotion
worthy of 4 woman, without one
murmur, one wish that he had acted
otherwise.
MotiOnless as himself she stood, his
living likeness, his very shadow, till
perhaps that silent presence spread
around him like a mystic halo OF love
and peace, for with a sudden start and
almost wild look he turned. The
next moment Lucia was clasPed
close to the prisoners breast, a held
from which no human power could
have torn.
Long captivity had done its work
even on that fine, vigorous frame.
COvarra's whole nervous system was
piostTated and inspired and the ply
sieians ordered him away on foreign
travel for change of scene; promising
the anxious sister that q couple Of
years would see a complete restora-
tion Of health.
So the two left SeFrantO on their
travels and came to England, and vi
sited bondon. There are many who,
if they CHANGED to see this tale, would
recognize the brother and sister (;
thOugb-few, if any, of those who met
them in the world are acquainted
with their story. Ifthey were, they
would probably cease to be surprised
at that close, deep love and devotion
to each other which has made the
most brilliant offers of marriage fail
tosepsrate Lucia from Andrea da Ca
vaFra.

Affer Dinner Vans.

Many persons, particularly the
middle aged and elderly, allow them
selves this real indulgence; and the
custom, if not carried to excess, Is by
many medical men considered bene-
fetal rather than otherwise, as by
keeping the body in a state Of quiet
ude, digestion is promoted and assist
ed. In southern countries the mid
day sleep, termed the sicstG, is almost
universally taken, and wonderfully
refreshes the frame enervated and
weakened by the intense heat. 1t is,
however, recommended that such
sleep be not INDUCED in to too great a
J length, as persons invariably find
that such prolonged slumber in the
daytime causes them to awake dull,
irritable and unrefreshed while most
have experienced, on having been
accidently reused up a few minutes
after absolute forgetfulness, a sensa-
I tion of lightness and renewed vigor,
unattended by peevishness or the de-
sire to sleep again. Medical men, in
sanctioning the indulgence, particu-
/ Iarly advise that il be taken in re-
clining posture, but by no means
lying horizontally, the stomach, IN
( the latter position, pressing on the
/ intestines, and causing the blood Ia
/ be impelled TO the head. COrpuleni
/ persons, and those who have ten
dency to apoplexy, should be partieu

1t has so happened that I have seen

observed that some Of them were
troubled, perhaps distressed, when
they first thought they could not re-

came, the less apprehensive and the
calmer they grew. Having once ban

afterward, if free from physical pain,
there was unruffisd peace. IF eucOuT-

or If they had 2 favorable turn, the
old anxiety with something Of the for

born Of their expectation OF life, not Of
their fear Of death. Thus was estab-
Iished n clear analogy between mater
ial and spiritual anguish under the
same circumstance. AS we have

On GrnaRIng.

A French physician is out in long
dissertation on the advantage OF
grOaning and crying in general, and
especially during surgical operations.
He contends that grOaning and cry
ing are two grand operations by which
nature allays anguish; that those pa
tients who give way to their natural
feelings, more speedily recover from
accidents and operations, than those
who suppose It unworthy a man to be-
tray such symptoms Of eOwardiee as
either TO groan or cry. He tells of a
man who reduced his pulse from one
hundred and twenty-six TO sixty in the
course of a few hours by giving full
vent to his emotions. IN accOrdan GO
with the above, the crying children
should not be too greatly discouraged
What is natural is nearly always use
ful, and such j. crying nf children
when anything occurs tb give them
either physical or menta! pain.

Cross Breeding.

Crossing a pure, well fixed breed on
one whose characters are less fixed and
constant, will bring the impure, breed
quickly TO the standard of the pure,
and the change win be for the better
o: the worse, according as this pure
breed excels or comes below the other
in personal qualities. Thus breeding
our common cows with a poor abOTigi-
nal race Of any country will detsFior-
ate them rapidly, while crossing them
with shOrt-hOrns, Ayrshires or Dutch
will with equal rapidity improve
them. Again, crossing Of these i'm
proved breeds with poor but strong
ly fixed and prepOtent breed will be at
the risk Of obtaining reversiOn to a
more primitive and still poorer type
Of the race. Crossing thus becomes an
art, whose principles must be studied
and acted on in order to success In
telligentiy employed, IL is an arm Of
power for raising our poorer breeds TO
. higher standard. IgnCrantly or
carelessiy followed, it may rapidly de-
grade those splendid races whose per-
feetiOn has been the work Ofeenturies.

The Boys and the Farmer.

-Once there was q rich farmer IN
the country" that is theway in whici
al Old-fashiOned stories used to begin
when we were a boy, land our old cap
was new once there was 4 rich far
mer who had four or five orchards OF
apples, pears, peaches, and other ike
fruits He had taken up amateur
farming after having been = "larned
man and q successful, money max
ing 'lawyer-at-laWn in the ciry. Now
he was of ''elOse" nature, and did
impart but little of his substance 10
his friends and neighbOrs in the region
round about him. He would walk
about with his "menu i'm the tusy
autumn time, picking his luscious
fruits, but seldom would he offer any
to the hungry pasSer-by, who might
look lOngingly upon his luscious
treasures. He would even, with his
jack.kife, cut from a half decayed ap-
pie, peach pear, or apricot, the dis
eased part, and put them into bIs
ket by themselves, that nothing
might be lost"
Now, there was 4 plan formed by
hye or SIX Of his neighbOrs' sons,
whereby to make him more gener-
Gus 60 Others OF the fruitful bounties
OF nature wherswith he ha,I been

This was an appeal % his vanity Of
FAST learning. One afternoon, while
he was in his orchard, picking apples
and peJrs, near the roadside, he saw
five or six OF his neighbOrs' boys ap-
pTOaching in the main road They

tween them.

a grammatical question, how should
you put it, Mr.. B.-?n
"The case" said Mr.. B, els
perfectly clear. 'IOU' is individual,
