The Prize Package Boys Dream In a
Church.

One of the most alarming cases of
somnambulism with which we are
familiar is that of the prize package
boy who operates on the Norristown
Railroad III Philadelphia. BY some
extraordinary combination of circum-
stances, this child of sin was induced
TO go to church, few Sundays ago,
and while listening to the sermon he
fell asleep in the back pew where he
sat. There had been Sunday school
meeting there before church, and all
the Bibles and missionary newspapers
we're piled mp In that particular pew.
Suddenly this remorseless young or
phan picked up bundle of the papers
in his sleep, and began TO walk up the
aisle, throwing one into each pew as
he went along. When he got under
the lee of the pulpit he stopped, and
waited two or three minutes. The
minister looked cross eyed at him, and
glared at him through his spectacles,
but the young brigand was uneonsci-
GUS. Then he glided down the aisle,
and amazed the congregation by re-
moving the papers from each pew
When he reached tho rear he seized an
armful of Bibles, and rambled up the
aisle again, tossing them at the occu
pants of the pews.
Resting gain under the pulpit, and
wholly indifferent 30 the circumstances
that the clergyman's eyes again we're
ont OF their natural straight position,
and we're making his spectacles look
like double-barrelled locomotive
headlight, the infant brigand praneed
down the aisle the second time, yelling
"here's yer prize packages, only ten
cents each one contains prize worth
from ten cents 70 ten dollars ~ and
grabbing for the Bible as he proceeded.
The minister waved his hand at one OF
the deacons the deacon and the sexton
charged on that boy, and the organist
tells us the three scudded down that
thoroughfare at the rate of fifteen knots
an hour. while the sexton shook the
boy up, and the deacon boxed bis ears
and wished il was not wicked 70 swear.
Then they took him up into the steeple
and killed him. We are not certain
that they killed him, but we think
they did, OF course, for that is the only
way in which he could be kept quiet.
We would have butchered him long
ago IL we could only have got him
alone in steeple somewhere.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,
white clover A. a HONEY p,,n,

: white Glover as Honey Plant.
An English writer says White or
Dutch clover Is the queen of honey
plants. 1t is widely cultivated in this
country, and continues to flower q
long time. In Scotland, the farmers
use more wkite clover seed in laying
down the land grass than the farmers
in England, hence clover fields are
better there than here. And the use
of lime and bone dust as manures has
agreat influence in the production of
clover. In travelling to Edinburgh
some years ago by the Caledonian line,
whole fields white with clover flowers
caught my eye and made me take a
second look to see il the Wilderness
came from daisy flowers. Whole dis
tricts unsurpassed for excellence, met
my eye during a visit to my native
land, many of which hardly ever re-.
ceived a complimentary visit from
bees and for this reason, there were
no bee keepers in these districts.

Preserving Pears and a pplcs.

The following Is plan which is
simple and efiicacious The apples and
pears should replaced in glazed earth
en- vessels, each containing about
gallon, and surrounding each fruit with
paper. These vessels being perfect
cylinders, about foot each IN height,
stand very conveniently upon each 9th.
er, and present the means of preserv-
ing q large quantity of fruit in a very
small room, and il the spaces between
the top of one vessel and the base of
another be filled with a cement, COM
posed of two parts of the curd of skim
med milk and one of lime, by which
the air will be excluded, the later kinds
of apples and pears will be preserved
with little change in their appearance,
and without any danger of decay, from
October till February and March. A
dry and cold situation, in which there
is little change of temperature, is the
best for the vessels but the merits of
the pears are greatly increased by their
being taken from the vessels about
ten days before they are wanted for
use, and kept in a warm room, for
warmth at this, as at other periods,
accelerates the maturity of the pear.
APPLE JELLY.
Apples make an excellent jelly. The
process is as follows They ere pared,
qnartered, and the core completely re-
moved, and put into pot t0ithom
water, closely covered, and put into an
oven or over fire. When pretty well
stewed, the Juice is to be squeezed out
through cloth, to which little white
of an egg is added, and then the sugar.
Skim it previous to boiling, then re-
duce it to proper consistency, and an
excellent jelly will be the product.
APPLE MARMALADE.
To make apple marmalade, boil some
apples, with peel off them, until they
are perfectly soft, which may be known
by pressing them between the thumb
and and fingers then remove them
from the fire and throw them IL to cold
water pare them place them on a
sieve, and press the pulp from the
cores. The pulp, which has passed
through sieve, place IN stew pan

singular case Of Trance.

From the Rochester IN. W Union.
About six weeks ago, Miss Crowell,
ward Of Mrs. Pruyn, Of Albany, mystic
riously disappeared from the residence
Of that lady and for long time all ef-
forts 10 discover her whereabouts were
unavailing. An uncle of the young lady
assisted Mrs. Pruyn in the search. He
came westward, and, on reaching this
city fell in with a Cleveland man, who
told him remarkable story OF ayoung
lady whe had been found on the stoop
Of his residence IN sort of trance, who
had been sheltered, and who displayed
a number of accomplishments, though
still out Of her mind. The description
was a sufficient clue, and the girls un-
cl proceeded 20 Cleveland, where he
found his long lost niece in the condi
ton stated. She was suffering from
alteration Of mind. On being renewed
10 her residence IN Albany, q terrible
fever set in, and she has not yet recoV
cred. Miss Crowell is fifteen years o
age, and was the daughter of iorme
Philadelphia merchant, from whom sh
inherited large fortune.

HFrEcr UPON HEALTH.

| have seen the question raised as to
the effect OF cooked food upon the
health of the animals. 4 can only say,
as to this point, that / have n number
OF cows, from seventeen years old and
downwards, that have never been fed
IN any other way, except during the
season of green feed, while they are
now in perfect health aud vigor. 1t is
not, perhaps, too much to say that no
more healthy stock of cows can De
found than myherd of about fifty head,
which has had the cooked diet for so
many years. This system enables me
to get as good yields of milk in winter
as in summer, with the quality excel
lent.
BARN AND sTEAMING APPARATUS.
MY barn is built on a side hill, and is
three stories high in some parts. The
floor of the principal story is on leve
with the ground on the highest side,
and is used for storing hay, grain, etc
The story below opens on the barnyard
and is used for stables, and the part
under ground for root cellar. Under
this is a manure cellar eight feet deep.
In the stable story is located my appa-
ratus for steaming. My boiler is an
upright tubular, of about the capacity
OF four horses, situated in the corner
OF this story, under the ground, IN a
room about ten feet square. The chin
ney is built of brick on the outside, and
extends about six feet above the roof.
The steam box in which the cooking is
done is built of brick and extends TO the
story above. 1t is lined with two inch
plank, tongued and grooved, six feet
square inside and eight feet deep, with
lid the whole size of the top, and
opening on level with the floor above.
1t has door four feet square on one
side near the bottom. out of which the
feed is taken. The steam pipe runs
directly from the boiler to the steam
box, extends around the four sides and
across the middle, some six inchos
above the bottom. This pipe, .lde
the box, is perforated with sma' noles
for the escape of the steam. A cask
holding two hundred gallons is conven-
iently located at one side and over
the steam box, which, by pipe, is
kept full of water for wet
ting the feed and filling the boiler.
The fodder is cut by horse power
shoveled into the steam box, mixed
with bran, or whatever is fed with it,
and well wet. The fire is first started
under the boiler, and then the fodder
is cut while the steam is getting up. |
only steam twice per week, finding that
the feed Will keep warm three days in
winter this saves much labor and
fuel. My plan has usually been to feed
steamed rations morning and evening,
with dry hay at noon. This counter
acts all tendency to looseness. / use
about three tons of coal for the seasons
cooking. A change from cooked to dry
food for single day has sometimes
caused marked shrinkage in milk.
