HARD AND SOFT WATERFALL house

HARD AND SOFT WATERFALL mouse :
wives may not know how materially the
effect of hard and soft water differs in
the cooking of various vegetables.
While one species of vegetables requires
hard or soft water. as the case may be,
another species becomes sensibly dete-
liorated by it. For instance, peas or
beans cooked in hard water containing
lime or gypsum will not boil tender, be-
cause these substances harden vege-
table caseine. In soft water they will
boil tender, and lose a certain raw,
rank taste which they retain in hard
water. Many vegetables (as onions)
boil nearly tasteless i'll soft water. be-
cause all the flavor is dissolved out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as in
the case of onions, causing the vege-
tables to retain their peculiar tiavoring
principles, beside much nutritious mat
ter, which might be lost in soft water.
Thus it appears that the salt hardens
the water to a degree. For extracting
Juices from meat to make broth or
soup, soft water unsalted and cold at
first is the best, for it much more read
lily penetrates the tissues: but for boil
ing meats where the juices should be
retained, put salt i'll while it is boiling,
SO as to seal up the pores at once.

CURE FOR HORSES PULLING AT THE
HALrER.-A correspondent writes: A
year ago l had four-year old horse
which had contracted the habit of pull
ing back whenever she was fastened.
She would be sure to break loose, if
what held her could be broken by her
drawing in such backward way. She
was cured of the habit by taking a rope,
fastening one end around her body
just back of her shoulders, and passing
the other end through the ring of the
lay back S for her usual | pull for few
times when fixed in this way, but soon
found she was drawing from her body
instead of her head, which she did not
relish, and soon gave it up entirely.
She can now be left anywhere with
perfect safety, rs nothing will induce
her to pull back when fastened.

A VIRGINIA SrEw.-Take six quarts
of oysters; strain off the liqr O.; boil
it, and skim until clear; add one quart
of fresh milk, three-quarter pound OF
butter; put in the oysters, and slowly
and carefully add sufficient rolled and
sifted soda crackers to make the stew

tiers for company than the ordinary
stew, as there is no danger of splitting
them over the dresses of the matroLs

A Narrow Escape for Miss Nellie Grant.

On Wednesday evening, just after 6
o'clock, Miss Nellie Grant left the
Presidents cottage for ride in her
pony phaeton. She was unaccompanied,
except by the colored coachman. The
team was the Presidents favo1ite span
of spirited black ponies, and they bowled
along the avenue in fine style. While
passing along the lower end of Ocean
avenue the ponies became suddenly
frightened and started into furious
run. The driver manfully chung to the
lines and did everything possible to
check the runaways, but all to no pur-
pose, for they were unmanageable.
Miss Grant bravely kept her seat and
did not manifest any alarm, while the
plunging ponies tossed the tiny carriage
on either side of the road AS the team
reached the residence of Mr.. Franklin,
the agent of the Cunard line, they
whirled into the yard and across the
lawn, dashing themselves on to the
piazza, where they were stopped in their
mad career by the astonished visitors.
Miss Grant was assisted from the car
riage, which miraculously escaped de-
struction, and was warmly congratulated
on her narrow escape from serious in

TUNGcHow, China, Aug. %.
Messrs. PERRY DAVIS Son:
Dear Sirs-During long residence in China,
have used your invaluable Pain Killer, both in my
own family and among the Chinese, and have found
1t most excellent m dcine. In the summer of 80
and SO, while residing in Shanghai, found it an
almost certain cure for Cholera, if used in time.
Indeed using it in a great many instances, do
not remember failing in a single case. For three
years have been residing in this place, than
fifty miles from ysician, and have been obliged
often to fall back upon my own resources in cases
OF sickness. The Chinese come to in great
numb for medicine and advice. Though with
out medical knowledge ourselves. the few simple
remedies we can command are so much in advance
even of their physicians, that have almost
daily applications. We allow them to come, be-
cause 1t brings in contact with them, and opens
a door to usefulness. In diarrhea collie vomiting
cholera, coughs &C., your Pain Killer has been my
chief med1elne- Yours very truly,
I. P. CRAWFORD.
