A Southern Shad Bake.

Build roaring fire, says cores
pondent writing from Augusta, Ga, in
a roomy fireplace that may be cut down
in the clayey soil of any hillside. Shad
of the mornings catch had already been
prepared in the incest manner, cleaned
inside and out, and fine salt rubbed on
them. Then take seasoned oak planks,
three inches through, fourteen inches
wide, and as long as the hunger of the
party demands. When the wood has
burned to Goals, and the bank of the
fire. place has been wrought up to the
roasting pitch, these planks are placed
against the fire and heated to the point
of burning. On the smooth hot plank
the shad are spread and nailed. They
are then stood up around the Goals and
the hot bank, and baked-baked Just to
the nicely, the outside and inside
brown and crisp, without being smoked
or burnt. The fish are served at the
river side piping hot, and washed down
with the JUICE of the native scupper--
nong. The clam -bakes of New England
pale their Intellectual fires beforea plank
shad-bake. One writer, who has just
been initiated, holds that it will be
great consolation on the death-bed to
say: 81 die, but l have had shad-
bake"

The Domestic Gr0wler.

Look Mt him he is curiosity. He
was pleasant enough an hour ago, as he
sat in his Office talking to jerks. With
his chair tilted back, the toes of his
boots resting against the mantel-piece,
his mouth extended in loud guflaw in
reply to one of Jenk's yarns, you would
have said he was one OF the Jolllest fel-
lows in the world.
But he does not look so now. He has
lowered his hat over his eyes, and got
his family face on. He considers it bad
domestic policy to come home looking
smiling and cheerful; it would not only
lower his dignity as master of the
house, but it would encourage his wife
and children to the asking of all sorts
of favors, and the running into good
ness knows what extravagances. The
only way, as he believes, to keep up a
proper system of household authority,
and reduce household expenditure to
its certain limit is to always find fault,
and never relax for moment the system
of domestic snubbing.
OF course, the coming home Of the
Growler is not looked for with Joy. All
pleasant influences take wing. The
very atmosphere becomes charged with
or explosive material. The
cook spills the gravy, and blackens the
toast for the pigeons; the wife is afraid
the soup will not be all right, or the
pudding done to the precise turn: the
children huddle in n corner, and talk in
whispers, and no one feels that they
can breathe free breath until "pa is
gone. Who would be growler p

Criminals In Prussia.

The essence OF the Prussian system
for efIecting the reformation Of crimi'
nails is contained in the single word
"work." There are religious books in
the prison library but they are not
forced upon the prisoners-rather the
reverse. They are encouraged to read
biographies, histories, books Of travel
and adventure and even works of tic-
ton and illustrated magazines are not
forbidden them. While they are al
lowed to expend portion of the share
of their earnings which is allotted to
them in grammars, dictionaries, and
works on other subjects, they are on no
account permitted to buy religious
books this, ms I understood, is to guard
against the tricks of hypocrisy. Every
one committed to the Strafgefangniss,
no matter how short or how long his
sentence may be, is set to work at some
kind of trade.
In Prussia M ,ters are found who
contract for the labor of certain num-
Der of prisoners gnorant OF any trade,
whose services they receive gratuitously
during the first month. AT the expira-
ton of that period they have to pay six
silbergroschen or ten cents per day for
each man they employ but this is
merely thu starting-point, the rate OF
wages being subject to increase from
time to time rs the prisoner becomes
more proficient. The contractor is also
bound to provide the convict with work
when he quits the prison. A prisoner
failing to earn the regulation six gros-
chen per day paid for him by the con-
tractor is duly punished while of his
earnings in excess of this amount one
third is allotted to him by way of en-
couragement. A certain portion of
these earnings he has the privilege of
spending on the Sunday, under due re-
strictions, in such delicacies as butter,
bacon, beer, SNUFF, sausages, and fruit
but tobacco is strictly prohibited.
Should the convict prefer mental to ma
teral food, he can lay out his money on
books, as before mentioned. The bal
ance of his share of earnings is given up
to him when he leaves the prison, to-
gether with a new suit of clothes and
new pair of boots, for the making of
which within the prison he has to pay
trife, the materials being supplied

Curious Customs in the East.

DR.. Anderson, who accompanied the
expedition sent out by the British Gov
ernment in 1868 to ascel tain how far it
was possible to open the great highway
to China, b. the Valley of the Tapeng,
to British commerce, makes the follow
ing interesting statements, which we
extract from review by John Evans:
The practice Of horse-worship in con-
nection with the Buddhism of the San
da Valley may, however, be noticed, as
well as the Shan method of concealment
of gold and precious stones, by burying
them beneath the skin of their chest
and necks, by making Sits, through
which the coins or stones are forced,
and which subsequently heal up. When
the valuable object is wanted a second
cut is made upon the spot, and it is ex-
tracted. In some instances as many as
fifteen stones or coins were found to be
hidden beneath the skin of men just al
rived with caravan at Mandalay.
Their method of producing fire is
very remarkable, and is effected by the
sudden and forcible descent Of a piston
in closed cylinder. There is small
cup-shaped cavity at the end of the pis-
ton-rod, into which little tinder is in
serted. The apparatus is identical in
principle with one now employed in the
lecture-rooms of our colleges.
Both bronze and stone celts are very
common. They are thought to be
thunderbolts which have penetrated the
earth and afterwards worked their way
to the surface. The belief in the celes-
tial origin and healing powers of these
implements is as common in Asia as in
Europe. They are worn as charms, and
carefully kept in small bags; when
dipped in water they are supposed to
impart curative properties to it, and is
is administered as medicine which it
supposed to possess great value, especi-
ally in difficult labor cases.

"Tonics" and "bitters" are resorted to
as a remedy F; whereas, in majority Of
cases, little hygienic treatment, with
out medicine, would bring the system
into itsnormal condition. An abundance
of fresh air and exercise is of the ut
most Importance. And then in spring
we usually eat the wrong kind of food,
and too much of it. The hearty meats
and rich, heating articles of diet which
help to fortify the system against the
winters cold. should be laid aside, or at
least sensibly lessened in quantity, as
the warm weather approaches. The di.
minished appetite is not a cause OF
alarm light, spare diet of early vege-
tables, fruits, and articles commonly
considered cooling" is the best. But
if too much animal heat is generated by
the food, the weary spring feeling in
creases, aud illness is scarcely escaped.

Losing an Umbrella.

A man, says the Danbury Nc,Us, may
lose friends, home, position, fortune.
They are different from an umbrella
He nou lose them; he is sure to lose
that. But he keeps on buying or bor-
rowing them. If he buys one some one
borrows it, and returns it to the wrong
man without knowing it. If he borrows
one some one steals it, outright, and he
has to borrow another from another
source to make it good. We don't I'M
derstand it. Nine of every ten men
who to-day possess umbrellas are not
the owners of them. Heaven only
knows where the owners are. Perhaps
they are dead-perhaps in exile, and
perhaps, whi..- is more likely, they are
under other umbrellas. People will
borrow an umbrella when they wouldn't
borrow anything else. They will bor-
row it as long as there is bit OF cloth
or rib to it. They will borrow the stick
if the slide is in it, While it bears the
remotest semblance to an umbrella they
will borrow it, and-keep it. We never
yet saw an umbrella SO reduced but that
some one would take it in. The only
time an umbrella is really Invaluable is
when you want it, and that is the exact
time it fails to appear. When the sun
is shining brightly and the dust is five
inches thick on a level, an umbrella be-
comes one of the most repulsive objects
in christendom. On such occasions it
meets you on every turn. You shut
door and down it comes and spreads out
and trips you up. You haul down your
linen coat from the closet and find
is holding to it. 1t is that
You move the flour barrel to
look for rat, and out comes that mis-
erable umbrella and scrapes your shin.
1t raps you on the head in the stairway
and trips you up in the hall, and falls
down on your head from the garret, and
when it amt doing anything else it
stands up in corner and wrings its
hands and swears at society.

EXPLOSION OF Four Tons OF POWDER

EXPLOSION OF FoUR Tons OF POWDER.
The Acadia Powder Works, at Wa
verify, N. s., about eleven miles from
Halifax, exploded. The effect OF the
explosion was terrific. The trees sur
rounding the building were uprooted,
and the ground and stones overturned
within radius of 800 feet. The ma
cbi,ery was scattered in atoms, and the
debris of the ruined building was hurled
a great distance. Several buildings and
the managers residence in the vicinity
of the works were more or less damaged.
The explosion was caused by the drying
house, where four tons of powder were
stored, catching fire from the furnace,
where ashes were left smouldering when
the workmen left the mill. Fortunately
there was no loss Of life.
