order of sale were made upon the
most desirable piece of property in
the State, it would be possible for

Ancient Hnhitafionn.

The remains of ancient habitatiOns raised on
poles, are of rare occurrence in Germany, and
hence the discovery, last year, of the debris of
such structures in the bed of the River Elster,
near Leipsic, awakened lively interest The
discovery was made by Herr Jentzch, of the Geo
logical Institute of Austria. The order of the
visible strata at this point is as follows: At the
base is found layer of sandstone; on this a la
custriDe clay. Both Of these belong to the upper
portions of the quaternary rock. In the clay are
two beds containing the remains of plants, and
among these are found leaves of the willow, and
oak fruit of the Acer, and sundry other vegeta-
ble fragments. Above these occur layer of roots
some inches in depth, which shows that the sur
face of the soil remained at this level for a con-
siderable period. The uppermost layer, two or
three metres thick, was produced by an inunla-
ton. The piles discovered by Jentzch in the bed
of the Elster set in the clay and covered over
with this silt. They are arranged in circles, with
the lower end pointed, and the upper extremities
connected by horizontal ties of oak. Among the
animal remains found here are the lower Jaw of
an OK, with its teeth, stays heads, the long bones
of some manned yet undetermined and shells of
the unio and anodyn. No traces of human re-
mains have been found, though fragments of pot
terry and charcoal are met with, also two stone

The Penn Yam Democrat tells a fish story which
We are inclined to treat as such and pass it by,
but for the fact that we have seen a private let
ter from a reliable source fully confirming all
that was stated in the paper The story is sub
stantially as follows: Mrs. MyrOn Morse of Penn
YAM her son, seven years old, and her sister were
fishing in a boat on keuka Lake, on Wednesday
last. The boy leaned over the side of the boat,
when large trout jumped from the water and
caught hold of the boys nose. The boy spran2
back and in doing pulled the fish into the boat
The trout thus caught weiged eight pounds. The
Penn Yam Democrat offers TO wager SO 600 it will
verify this statement, strange it may seem.
The letter received in this city states that the
childs nose considerably mutilated, and its
that it may be shown to friends. Expert anglers
are compelled to resort to ingenious devices to
allure the salmon front to their hooks, and that
one of those wary fish should leave the water to
reach for the nose of juvenile angler is indeed re-
markable, and quite beyond the understanding
of those acquainted with the habits of fishes.

USES OF HONEY.

Phillips Southern Farmer, in an exhaustive
article on Honey as food, as o preserver of
healht and as remedy in Sickness, gives the fol-
lowing as the uses to which honey has been ap-
piled in ancient and modern times:
Besides the use of honey as q food and med
ieIne, 1t Is used in various other manners.
From it is made mead, wine, vinegar, beer,
brandy, and various kinds of cakes. IL "a much
used by the sPothecary, and is the basis OF many
cosmetics. go p -
In Lithnania it is made into excellent mead,
which Is allowed to remain quiet fully year
before becoming fully ripe. The Linden honey
Is used for this purpose, owing to its excellent
aroma.
Simply by adding yeast to honey you have
honey beer, product almost forgotten in Ger
many, but still used in Scotland and which can
be kept fresh and good-tasted for years.
TRAITS can be preserved in honey for two
months before using.
With the ancients, especially with the Romans,
all drinks were prepared from honey, or mixed
with it. / herewith give a few recipes.
Water honey (hydromeli), species of wine
drink, made by mixing honey with spring or
rain water which has been allowed to stand a
long time. This is often given to the sick.
Saltwater honey (thalasomelt), prepared by
mixing sea-water, rain water, and honey. This
is pleasant, agreeable and slightly purgatiye
drink.
Honey wine (meIititis) prepared from moist
honey and salt, and used : a medicine.
Water mead (dqGa matsa), prepared from long
standing rair water and honey; strengthening
and cooling drink.
Mead (mHlsRm) made from old pure wine and
strained bOney-a highly priced drink which is
spoken of by the hundred years old Rumullius
Polio, he declared it should not be absent from
any table, and as being given out when the vic
tories of warriors were celebrated.
Honey vinegar (ormeii), prepared from honey,
old vinegar sea SALT and sea water. 1t is used
for medical purposes
Wine honey (omoRel), a drink prepared by mix
ing the juice of the best grapes with honey.

KEEPING PEARS IN WINrER-A corresnonde

KEEPING PEARS IN WISTER.-A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman gives the following as
the process adopted by Hon. NJ. p. Wilder for
keeping pears:-Winter pears are kept in the
cellar of his fruit house, which has dry cement
eel floor. No ice is used for cooling it. The fruit
is packed in square market boxes, holding about
a bushel each, and placed in the cellar one above
the other, with stats at the corners, so that the
boxes will not press upon the fruit. and will ad-
init n circulation of air between them. On cold
October nights, the windows are opened for the
admission of cold air. closed at daylight, and
kept closed until another cold night ensues. If
carried successfully through October in this way,
there is no more difficulty about controlling the
temperature, and he keeps winter pears, both for
market and for home use, with the results al
ready given.

DEATH OF ANorABLE CHARACTER
From the Field Of Waterloo 10 n New York
Tenement House.

In the tenement house No 2I6 Rivinrton street
died yesterday, William Owens, aged eighty two
years, late sergeant trumpeter under the last two
Georges, William the Fourth and Queen Victoria
OF England. The deceasT of Mr.. Owens is worthy
of nete from the facts of his long service in the
British Army and his presence at the battle of
Waterloo. Welshman by birth, he entered the
band of the Second Life Guards as ordinary trum-
peter at very early age, and in 1873 on the re-
turn of the British forces from the occupancy of
Paris, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant
trumpeter. In this capacity he officiated at the
cOronations of George the Fourth William the
Fourth and the present Queen. 1t was among
his duties to attend the Sovereign on all occa-
sions of state, from the opening proroguing of
Parliament to a visit to the patent theatres of
the metropolis. For more than generation and
half his figure was familiar to the sight seek
ers of London, whether in the handsome uniform
OF the Guards or the more gorgeous one of ser
geant trumpeter; in both he showed to advan-
tage, being man of fine person and martial bear
ing. About fifteen years ago he retired from his
post, and for more than twelve years lived quiet
ly on little farm in Devonshre. granddaugh-
ter of his had visited the United States and here
got married.
Latterly she became his sole surviving relative.
and ut the invitation of her husband and herself
the old gentleman came to New York in 1870
He had not been long here when his granddaugh-
ter died. Soon afterwards her husband followed
his wife to the grave, and Mr.. Owens (whO had
long been in receipt of n sufficient pension from
the British gOvernment) was obliged to seek such
home as he could find in New York tenement
house. This in time became rksOme to him. and
he made up his mind to return to England, and
there live out the remainder of his DAYS. Through
the recent changes in the weather he was cast
upon a sick bed, and died after a few days con-
tinement. The deceased was a man of inteli-
gence, and could relate anecdotes of the great
men of his time, including Wellington, Peel
Palmerston, Melbourne, Russell, Grey and Lynd-

MAKING SAUER-KRAUT-The best we ever ate
we made ourselves for many years, and for a
considerable time with our own hands, and
always of Savoy cabbage. 1t was manufactured in
this wise: In the first place let your ''stand, ~
holding from half barrel to a barrel be thor
oughly scalded out; the cutter, the tub and the
stamper also well scalded. Take off all the outer
leaves of the cabbage, halve them, remove the
heart and proceed with the cutting. Lay some
clean leaves at the bottom of the stand, sprinkle
with a handful of salt, fill in half bushel of cut
cabbage, stamp gently until the juice just makes
its appearance, then add another handful, and so
until the stand is full Cover over with cab
bage leaves, place on topa clean board fitting
the space pretty well, and on top of that stone
weighing twelve OF fifteen pounds Stand away
in a cool place, and when hard freezing comes on
remove to the cellar. 1t will be ready for use
in from four to six weeks. The cabbage should
be cut tOlerably coarse. The Savoy variety
makes the best article, but it is only half as pro-
ductive as the Drumhead and Flat Dutch.-Ger.

FRESH GRAPES AT ALL SEAsONs.-The Stock
ton, (Cal.) Republican says: We once knew Il
gentleman who supplied his table with fresh
grapes from one season TO another. His plan
was to gather when quite ripe the largest and
finest punches of grapes and pack them in saw
dnst. using, instead of boxes, common nail kegs
which he purchased for trife at a hardware
store. After carefully packing the desired num-
Der of kegs he buried the lot in a trench dug in
high ground beneath shed, where the water
could neither fall soak IN. Before using the
sawdnst he carefully dried il in the sun or in an
oven until it was entirely free from moisture.
We never witnessed the packing process, but we
know he always had the grapes, and in this way
he told us he preserved them. After being bur
led for months the grapes were sweet and
finely favored if just gathered from the vines
The process is cheap, and may be easily tested.
1t will preserve the grapes.

Utilizing she BuGaIo.

Homesteaders, and other settlers of small
means in Western Kansas, derive considerable
profit from the buffalo. The meat sailed and
dried, is used in families sold in towns The
skins are in good demand, they are not only
used for robes, bnt are tanned for leather. Some
of the longest hair is manufactured into mattress
es, while the shorter hair is used in mortar for
piastering purposes. large business is also
done IN collecting buffalo bones, which are sent
to the East to be ground up or manufactured into
bone phosphates. Several hundred car loads
have been sent East over this road the present
season. and vast quantities are piled mp at nearly
every station awaiting shipment. The average
price paid for these bones at the station is s. per
ton.
As the buffalo is driven West il is noticed that
the peculiar grass on which it feeds gives place
TO other varieties On many of the bluffs in this
region there are little hills of sand from which
issue streams of cool and very pure water. A
variety of dwarf wild plum trees, and a wild
grape vine flourish in these places both of which
furnish an abundance of fruit.-Prairie Farmer.

CANNED TOMATOES Select fair, ripe tomatoes
and pour boiling water over them to remove the
skins. Peel them carefully, cutting out all hard
spots, and slice thin. Put into a large proclaim
kettle-iron tin are not desirable on account
of the acid contained in the tomato. Let them
boil hard and then skim off the crust that rises
After boiling for half an hour so, season slight
ly with salt and pepper.
The glass cans should be placed upon several
thicknesses of cotton cloth, thoroughly wet in
cold water, and for convenience, they can be
placed in large tin pan, and brought to the
stove or range, and filed from the kettle while
still boiling hard the fire.
Place silver tablespoon in each jar before FL
ling it up, and it will prevent the glass from
cracking upOn receiving the boiling tomatoes.
1t requires two persons to can tomatoes or
fruit, for success depends upon the rapidity with
which the operation is performed. While one
fills the jars, the other can put on the covers
instantly, and them tightly in place.
Now take thick towel and stand each jar upon
its head. This operation will determine whether
they are alright. Let them stand until entirely
cool; then put in dark, dry closet.

How TO PICKLE GRAPEs.-A lady expert of
our acquaintance directs follows: Clip whole
sound, ripe grapes from the bunch, leaving the
button" of the stem on. Place them in a con-
v"nient jar, seald strong grape vinegar let it
cool and pour pom them until covered Fill a
pint flannel bag with spices that you fancy as a
flavor, and let it remain immersed in tue midst
of the berries. A cover should be placed over
them, resting upon the vinegar to insure con-
slant immersiOn of the fruit. Thus treated the
grapes retain the merit of fresh fruit, and the
vinegar becomes a spced sauce
