AN INEXPERIENCED COOK.

Uncle Enoch, the hero of the an
nexed incident, was not an experience,
ed cook, as we shall presently show.
He and Tom B. once went on q
clamming and ceiling cruise, to stay
several days.
They carried provisions with them,,
and took possession of small house
built for the convenience of such
parties, where they could lodge and
do their own cooking.
One day, when they had been at
work hard digging CLANS, until the
sun was getting we'll up toward meri-
dian, Enoch started to the house to-
make preparations for dinner. The
bill OF fare for the day was to consist
simply of boiled rice. Some half an
hour later, his partner, with an appe-
tlte sharp set, walked into the shanty.
he was struck with astonishment at
beholding their two little camp pans
heaped up with half.cooked rice,
and pyramid of the same on the
inverted pot-lid.
Enoch. was holding a ladle full in
his hand, and stareing aghast at the
rice in the pot, which was swarming
over the rim like cloud of white
ants, while suspicious odor indicted
that it was burning on the bottom.
wherein thunder'll I put all this
swamp seed ?" he exclaimed in des-
pair. ''I've filled all the dishes in
the shanty, and I don't gain on it
much"
Tom saw how the case stood, and
became volcanic with inward laugh
ter.
SHOW much of the rice did you
put in the pot, uncle Epoch?"
swell | filed her up level FULL
thought I'd cook enough, as we might
be pretty hungry"
"You old wooden-head! Didn't
you know that rice would swell in
boiling ?"
"Swell ?" he repeated, as if his
mind was just grasping a new phi
losophical fact. "Swell yes, yes;
so twill. Wall, it's too late now to
stop it. / reckon we'll have to let

And to this day Tom B. 'swells,'
even to the point of explosion, when
ever he recalls the scene to his
mind.

WHAT WE OWE TO WINTER.

1t is not often thought that we owe
all our habits and institutions to win.
ter. We do not bear in mind that
the reason why Northern nations are
more manly than Southern is that
there is winter in the North, or no
winter in the South. Winter makes
nations manly by driving men into
social unities, and obliging them to
live with each other, and devise ways
for their instruction. In a mild eli
mate, where there is no necessity for
men to dwell under a roof, they
wander abroad, and in great meas.
ure dispense with each others socie-
ty, so that although they may have
certain amount of cursory enjoy
ment, they are comparatively
uninstructed. But in severe climate
like this, when the cold season shuts
men ont from the field, and they re-
treat from their ordinary avocations,
and the days are short and the
evenings are long, the dwelling
becomes q castle and a school. house,
and there must be not only labors,
but conversations and readings.
Under such circumstances the family
is center of knowledge; and, if
there be any leaven it, a center of
Christianization. The shortening of
days and the frightening of evenings
make a great difference in the civil
ization ofnations and I think it may
be said that New England and all
the Northern States owe as much to
the fact that they have long winter
as to any of their laws or institutions !:
it gives rise to such household edu-
cation, such domestic culture.-H.

WHAT THE LEAF DOES.

1t pumps water from the ground
through the thousands of tubes in
the stem of the tree, and sends it in
to the atmosphere 10 the form OF nm
seen mist, to be condensed and fall
ia showers the very water were 1t
not for the leaf, would sink into the
earth and find its way, rerchance,
through subterranean channels to the
sea. And thus it is that we see it
works to give US the "early and the
latter rain." 1t works to send the
rills and streams, like lines of silver,
down the mountain and across the
plain. 1t works to pour down the
larger brooks that turn the wheels
that energize the machinery which
gives employment to millio9s-com-
MERGE stimulated, wealth accumla-
ted and intelligence disseminated
through the agency of this wealth.
The leaf does it all. 1t has been de-
monstrated that every square inch of
leaf lift $500 of an ounce every
twenty-four hours. Now, a large
tree has about FIVE acres Of foliage,
or 6,272,630 square inches. Thus
being multiplied by $500 the
amount pumped by every inch, gives
US the RESULT, 252 ounces, or l, l76
pints, or 294 quarts or 8 barrels. The
trees on an acre gives 500 barrels in
twenty. four hours. An acre of grass,
or clover, of grain, would yield about
the same result. The leaf is work
er, too, in another field of labor,
where we seldom look-where it
works for the good of man in the
most wonderful manner. 1t carries
an immense quantity of electricity

but it is particularly ft-
ted for this work. Did you ever see
q leaf entire as to its edges II is al

to handle this dangerous agent.
These tiny fingers seize upon and

POPULAR ERRoRs.-To think the

TRANSPORTING BUTTER TO HOT
CLIMATES.

For many years butter has been
sent from Copenhagen to Europe in
Theoretically sealed cans. Although
the business was commenced origin.
ally as an experiment, it has expand.
ed to such degree that, during the
past two years, it has occupied sew.
eral of the largest butter dealers in
Copenhagen. The object of pack
ing the butter in this manner is to
protect it against the action of air
and heat this is 80 completely at
tanned that butter has been sent from
Copenhagen to China and back
again, without the slightest detri-
ment to its edible qualities. The
principal places of demand are Chi
ma, Brazil, Java, Spain and other
countries, generally through London
or Liverpool houses. The packages
vary in size up to eight pounds, al
though those of four pounds are gen.
orally preferred. The cans are lined
inside with wood saturated with
with salt pickle, and, when, filled.
are sodered up. This treatment is
thought to exert very important
influence in the preservation of the
butter.-M Y. Tribune.

HOME INFLUENCE.-If the father
chiefly talks money" at home, he
generally rears his family in the wor-
ship of the almighty dollar. IF he
talks mainly horses, games and ra-
ces, he breeds batch of sportsmen.
If fashion is the family altar, then
the children are offered up as
victims on that altar. If q man
makes his own Preside attractive, lie
may reasonably hope to anchor his
own children around it. My neigh
Dor makes himself the constant even.
ing companion of his boys. The
result is that his boys are never
found in bad places. But if the
father hears. the clock strike eleven in
the club house or the play house, he
need not be surprised if his boys
hear it strike twelve in the gaming
room or drinking saloon. If he puts
the bottle on his own table, he need
not wonder if a drunken SON staggers
in by and by at his front door. When
the best friend that childhood and
youth ought to have becomes their
foe, the home becomes the "starting
post" for moral ruin.-Rev. Nr.

A number OF Christian ladies Of st.
Louis have been giving their attention
to the social evil law of that city.
The result of their examination, it is
said, leads to the conclusion that, at.
ter the experience Of two or three
years, all who know the facts must
confess that the law has entirely
failed to be of any public benefit.
Indeed, there is sufficient evidence
that it has accomplished little or no.
thing az q health measure, and there
10 proof that its moral influences are
hurtful. The testimony of Q mistress
Of . disreputable honse to these lad.
les was in effect that since the pass
age of this law they are visited by
men of better social standing in the
community. The law does not re-
strain Righteousness, but throws
about it such apparent safeguards
that the timid and more reputable arc
led easily int the snare.

colDs AND HOW TO TREAT THEM

When you are attacked again with
hard cold treat it as follows: Eat
no supper On going to bed drink
two tumblers of cold water. On ris
ing in the morning drink freely of
cold water. For breakfast eat a piece
of bread as large IS your hand. Go
out freely during the morning. For
dinner eat about the same as you ate
at breakfast. During tho afternoon
take sharp walk or engage in some
active exercise which shall produce
little perspiration. Go without
your supper and retire early, drink
ing, before you jump into bed as
much cold water as you can swallow.
In the morning you are nearly we'll.
If, instead, you feel the cold, it will
stay week or ten days, and wind
up with hard cough and expector
alton. A cold is not as many think,
the result alone of exposure to a
sudden change in the atmosphere.
1t is the product of two factors; one
is certain condition Of the within,
and the other is certain condition of
the without. The only soil in which
this plant can grow is certain con.
dition of the system, the prominent
feature of which is deranged stom-
ach. Those who have good diges
tons very rarely have colds. So, to
prevent colds, you must have your
stomach in good condition in other
words, you must keep yourself in
high health. There are some habits
which give a general tendency to
colds. For example, the use of hot
drinks, which, in addition to flooding
and weakening the stomach, open
the skin, and increase thereby sensi-
bility to the influence of external
changes. The use of warm baths,
especially warm footballs. Sleep
ing in warm, unventilatsd rooms.
Wearing the same fannels during
the night that have been worn during
the day. Using fat meats and pastry,
thereby dsranging the stomach and
lliver.-Dr. Dio Lepis.

SOLDIERS HOMESTEAD LAW.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing regarding the amendments
which passed Congress last session
in regard to tho soldiers homestead
law. The amendments proposed
were various and important, but they
all failed to pass except the following,
which embodies oil the change that
has been made in the homestead law:
"That any person entitled, under the
foregoing sections, to enter . home
stead, who may have heretofore
entered, under the homestead laws,
. quantity ofland less than l60 acres.
shall be permitted to enter so much
land as, when added to the quantity
previously entered shall not exceed
100 acres" That 10, that whereas
the law of 1872 permits soldiers to
enter homsteads on what are called
"duuble minimum lands," or lands
within the limits of railway grants,
and whereas many soldiers had en-
tered 80 acres each, they are now
permitted to enter whole quarter
section, or 160 acres Of such lands.
The amendment simply doubles the
quantity Of these double minimum
lands that may be entered under the
law.-Hdsokeye.

roR TOBACCO LOVERS.

Chewing in the parlor,
Smoking in the street,
Choking with cigar smoke
Every one you meet;
Splitting on the pavement,
Splitting on the hoor,
Is there such enslavement?
Is there such a bore?
Puddles at the corners,
Swelling into one,
Forming lakes and rivers,
Drying in the sun,
Maidens, when you marry,
Tobacco worms don't take;
Think not Dick or Harry
Will quit it for your sake.
Declare the thing curse;
And when gents come in to WOO,
You pop the question" first,
"Sir, do you sw axe or chew"
Mark well each word or look,
And if they don't say no,
Just cross them off your book,
And tell them why you do.
Some gents carry spice,
Some cinnamon, some cloves
Make good use OF yonr eyes,
And good use of your nose;
For when the weddings DER,
Perfumes they throw away
They spit upon the floor,
They smoke and chew all day.
Does a lover promise,
To quit the weed for you?
See he has firm bump,
And conscientious too.
If you are no phrenologist,
Let time and truth make clear,
And wait until he resists
Temptation for year.

cut back, but train to q common post

the cheapest that can be made.
