Some years and proved a failure through the
limited and irregular attendance and from other

reason given being that the working class, for

Soak the beans in the same manner, and
turn them together when they are ready
to be boiled, straining out all the water
from the beans, but leaving it in the corn,
as it will be sweet and milky. Add enough
water to boil both corn and beans. Then
turn in large cup of rich milk, or cream,
and boil fifteen minutes. Season with
salt, pepper and butter.
It stands to reason if the corn is first
scalded, it retains the sugar of milk,
which produces its sweetness, but if it IS
cut off in the green state, this dries away
upon the plates And again, it is needful
to dry it rapidly at first to preserve this
flavor in the corn, which would be more
apt to evaporate if dried slowly in the
sun. But we must take care not to dry it
so quickly as to scorch the kernels, for
then they would be ruined. Sweet corn
is sometimes put down in salt. Cut of
the corn after first scalding it few min
utes; then place a layer of it in a stone
jar, and scatter a thin layer of fine salt
over it, and fill up the jar in this manner
Keep it in cool place, tightly covered,
and when desired for use, soak it over
night, first washing it in several waters to
take out the salt. Then boil it in milk
and water, with or without adding the
beans. A tablespoonful of sugar will i'm
prove its f1avor--DaGsy Eyebr5ght, an
Country Gentleman.

I'D and eyes blazing. Steadman went for
the bushes. He thought the bull would
stop and run around the strip, and was
startled when the old fellow dashed
through on his trail, uttering a deep
"boom ~ every instant Steadman lodged
this way and that, but the bovine tore
along after him, smashing bushes and
leaping logs, and it was getting to be a
red-hot affair, when the man spied
the open end of a large hollow
log. The bull was not over forty feet
behind, and into the log went Steadman,
finding an orifice about twelve feet long,
and large enough to be roomy. The
bovine stopped at the log and ripped off
bushel of bark at the first dash. Then
putting his horns under it he gave it a
roll, and Steadman spun around like a
dried pea in policeman's whistle. The
log was large, but old and tender, and
every time the bull hauled back and
jumped tor it, he covered himself with
glory and clouds of bark and wood.
Sometimes he whirled one end, and then
he gave the center a heave, and then he
knocked foot off the other end. Stead
man swore, shrieked and pleaded, his
eyes full of bark and his mouth stopped
up, and every act Of his life passed before
him like a vision. "W-o-o-h! whoop!"
beloved the bovine as he slammed away
at the log, and every moment Steadman
expected to see the roof cave in upon
him. He was in despair, when he heard
the barking of dogs and the shouts of
men, and after few minutes the farmers
succeeded in releasing him, but it took
good hour to get the kinks out Of his
back and the rotten wood from his ears

Other Peoples Work.

Every mans work seems easier to
every other man than his own does, sim
ply because in doing his own he learns
what its conditions and difficulties are,
while Of other peoples tasks he sees only
the result and its real Or fancied imper-
fections. ''Sculpture is the easiest thing
in the world" said a grocer one day; you
have only to take a chisel and cut away
all the marble you don't want" Most
people know rather more than he did
about the work Of sculptor; but the
things we know nothing or next to moth
ing about always seem easy to do, and
often seem to us very badly done, when
in fact the performance we criticise is an
excellent one if we could only know the
conditions under which the expert does
his work. We were once going down the
Ohio River when the water was very low,
and the utmost skill of the pilot was nee
essary to keep the boat off the bars. The
channel was very devious, as it always is
in that river during low water, and the
boat was winding about in all directions,
a circumstance which seemed to annoy a
particularly knowing passenger. Finally
he turned to the captain and asked, Gap
tain, what do you pay that man up there
for twisting this boat about in that ridic-
ulous way?" 1.-TWO hundred dollars a
month";" replied the captain. "Well, I'll
tell you what I'll do" said the wise one,
81 can find you plenty of men where |
came from who will steer your boat right
straight down the river for you at fifty
dollars a month, and be glad to get the
job at thatn' We who know the condi-
lions under which the pilot did his work
launched as we were entitled TO do: but
after all there was not one of us perhaps
who had not, at one time or another,
given vent to equally raw criticism upon
matters concerning which we were i'm.
perfectly informed-HeaTth and Home

DESTRUCTION IN DIsGUIsE.-It is a fact
that mixtures of bad liquors and acid

Drying Sweet Corn.

THERE are various ways Of doing this,
and, of course, woman like, we think our
way is the best We have tried both
ways-of cutting it from the cob and dry
ing it in the sun without scalding, and of
first scalding it few minutes and then
cutting it as closely as is possible with
out shaving the cob-and can safely as
sert that the latter method is far superior.
So this season we shall put on the biggest
kettle that will fit the stove, and fill it up
with ears of sweet corn in the height of
their sweetness and juice, and letting
them scald for five minutes shall then
skim them out into pan, and with a
corn-cutter scrape off each ear. Then
spread the corn upon large plates, and
set them in the tin oven, back ola Stewart
stove, or not having that, they could be
placed in the stove oven when it is partly
cooled down. When the corn has shrunk
up so that the plates can be emptied into
one, it can be placed in the sun, and COW
cred with a piece of mosquito netting,
which will Keep off the flies, etc., and
when thoroughly dried it can be kept in
paper bag and hung up in the store
room. Then next winter we shall have
succotash frequently, as we shall have a
plenty of dry Lima and butter beans.
To use the corn, first wash it in cold
water, letting all the hulls rise to the top,
and be poured off, Then turn on warm
water enough to cover it, and let it soak
all night in warm place. Next day
half an hours boiling will make it soft
and tender.

Variable Matrimonial Weather.

AN interesting instance Of f1uctuating
connubial felicity has recently been
forced upon our attention. On Tuesday
morning, a man with wrathful features
came into the office, and laconically or
dered the insertion in the Journal of a
''To Whom it May Concern" forbidding
all persons from harbOring Or trusting his
wife, etc. He paid the bill as if it was a
pleasure to him. In the afternoon he
came again, looking cheerful this time
and desired the advertisement suppressed
-"as she and have made up" He took
his card and money, and went his way
buoyant and happy. But the next morn
ing he came back once more, saying tits
no use, she's got to be posted" and hand
ing over his papers, disappeared. Before
night he returned, and again withdrew
his advertisement, intimating that this
time the reconciliation was genuine and
everlasting. He did not put in an ap-
pearance the next day. but the day fol-
lowing he walked in, and with an air of
desperation, ordered for the third time
the momentous advertisement to be pub
lished. 1t was put in type, and as the pa
per was about to 90 to press, q nervous,
sharp-featured brighteyed woman Of fifty

from which way the shower was coming.

Autumn although the most radiant portion of
the American year, has its drawbacks. The heavy
evening dews and morning vapors and the great
disparity in temperature between the night and

dyspeptics generally suffer most severely during
the fall. arrangements of the liver are likewise
