The Nutmeg,

From & cyclopedia of, entertaining knowledge we gain the following informa- tion concerning this much prized spice; The true nutmeg, as we'll as the clove, is native of the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, but principally confined to the group called the Islands of Banda, under the equator, where it bears blossoms and fruit at all seasons of the year. In their native country, the trees are almost always load ed with blossoms and fruit; and the lat ter is gathered at three different periods of the year, viz. /; in July, November and April. The mace is there in July, when the nut is most abundant In November it is superior, but in April both the nutmeg and the mace are in the great est perfection, the season then being the driest. The outer pulpy coat is removed, and afterward the mace which latter, when fresh, is> of crimson color and covers the whole nut. The nuts are then placed over slow fire, when the shell next to the mace, and which coats the seed, becomes brittle, and the seeds, or nutmegs of commerce, drop out. They are then soaked in sea-water, and impreg- mated with lime 8 process which answers the double purpose of securing the fruit from the attack of insects and of destroy Ing the vegetating property. It also pre- vents the volatilization of the aroma. The mace is simply dried in the sun, and then sprinkled with saltwater, when it is fit for exportation.

opposite side of the room.
1.-TWO dollars !" echoed the woman, elbow
ing her way through the dense mass of females
who were separated from the males by long
counter, on which the glib-tongued auctioneer
walked to and fro with his goods.
"Two fifty" nodded the man.
"Thank ye, sir; going at two fifty" cried
the auctioneer.
"Three :" screamed the woman.
"Give the fifty ~ said the auctioneer, turn.
ing to the woman with half.suppressed smile
on his small, sober visage.
A nod from the woman.

A gentlemanly conductor was collecting
tickets from his passengers. All handed over
their tickets promptly except one fat old lady
who sat near the door, and who seemed to be
reaching down to get something she had drop

she raised her head and thus addressed the
blushing conductor II alurs, when travels,

is annoyed by the sPittle running

Jeff. Davis could let him have a

his linen.
He denounces Gen. Grant; but
not half SO bitterly as he did when

lie favors "the reelection Of the

our Commissioners do, reconstruct
it," ii not it must mean another
"brick and iron ten thousand dollar

as that has tendency todepreclate
currency, though only in county or.
ders. but how surprising that one
boasting so much erldition as To be
able to recommend either the Dem.

Poor POTATOES MADE PALATABLE.
Half the people who eat potatoes to-
day will find them cutting like a piece
Of bar soap. Dld-not much moreagpe-
abl to the taste.
The fault, according toa lady writer
in the Honshold, Il not IN the tuhcrs.
but in the COOKE she says she never
has hut dry elly,pOtatoes on her Ia
Bile, and thisis her motlus olHrutdj Of
preparation:
"lf old. pare them and let them ~
main in cold water several hours.
When time to cook ! put them into a
kettle of boiling wafer salt rs brine"
When they are boiled sufficiently, |
turn off the water and get the kettle on
the fire till the steam has all dried out
Prepared III this way. old potatoes are
delicious and wholesome. New p0ta-
toes need not be pared, nor need they
remain in cold water. Wash item
thoroughly and if there are any rough
places cut them off. ! place them in
boiling salted water and when done
always pour the water off and place
them over the fire again"
Tie secrets ofiealth are six: First,
keep warm; second, eat regular and
slow ; third maintain regular daily
bodily habits; fourth, take early and
very light suppers; fifth, keep clean
skin; sixth, get plenty ofsleepatnight.
