How TO MAKE CUCUMBER PICKLES.
Put your pickles as soon as gathered in
salt, using about four or six quarts for
each bushel Of pickles, and no water, as
the salt will draw brine from the pickles
enough TO cover them. Put up in this
way they will keep for years. When you
wish to make them up for uso, soak in
warm water until they are lreshened then
take one part vinegar and two parts rain
water, and add teaspoonful of alum for
each gallon put .hem in a brass kettle and
let them come 10 u boil, stirring occasional
ly; then skim oui and put ia the vessel
they are 10 be kept in, and cover them with
good vinegar. In about two days they will
be ready for use. If you wish them spiced,
add spices when you scald. Pickles made
in this way will be very II ce, bat the vim
egar, acting on the brass kettle, makes
them somewhat poisonous. If done in a
porcelain lined kettle they will have 10
copper in them but will not he of so lovely
a color. You can take your choice. A few
grape leaves in the kettle, if the latter meth
Cd is used, will help the color.

DRINKING Misunderstanding wine is a
habit; so is drinking spirits, ale, cider, cof-
fee and water. The last is thought neces-
sity; but to drink much is a habit. Some
people drink little, not because their con-
stitution requires less than others; ii is
their habit These people never perspire
so much as those who drink more. The
more that is drank, the the more water pas
ses away, or the system would suffer. AS
it is, the strain affects it. The skin, the
kidneys, bowels, lungs, are all drawn up
on. The result is, as may be naturally ex-
pected, exhaustion. For this reason the
man who drinks much water, particularly
during the summer and in the hottest
weather, is less able TO endure fatigue.
The water is of no benefit to him-that is,
the excess. 1t must pass away and this re-
quires an effort of the system, which is the
sweating process. Had he not the excess
of water, he would not have perspired so;
it would not have been there for the sys-
tenn to expel. 1t is a habit TO drink so
much and false thirst is created. We
should drink only what is needed. The
habit of drinking more will soon he over
come and the person Will feel much stron-
ger, and more capable of bearing fatigue.
In winter little fluid is needed, beyond
more, but not much.-Count,y Gentleman.

A DEsPIcABLE MULE.-The neg

A DEsPICABLE MULE. The negro and
mule (writes friend in Clinton, Lpuisiana)
are inseparable companions in the South
ern cotton fields, and, like the Hawaiian
string and bow, useless each without the
other. The lazy Indifference and careless
cruelty of the one, and wonderful powers
of endurance of severe labor, bad treat
ment, and neglect of the other, complete
the compatibility Of the two races necessary
for the production Of four millions Of bales.
A characteristic anec1ote may be reished
by those who have had experience of the
two. The spectator had taken refuge from
the suns rays under the shade of a spread
ing beech, sub tegmine fdgi, and lay recum-
bent, enjoying the fitful breezes and the
sombre frothiness of the country newspa-
per. Along the dusty road which passed
by this retreat came jogging a negro,
mounted on mule, both apparently fast
asleep AS the somnolent pair approached
the spot, some wicked sprite of the place
gave the paper fiirt, which was no sooner
seen and heard than the mule, rs mules
only know how, instantly "swapped ends"
and leaving the negro sprawling in the
dirt, took his departure, under full sail.
The negro, half raising himself, and wip-
ing the dust from eyes and mouth, watch
ed the retreating mule for some time in
silence, but at length, unconscious of an
auditor, gave expression TO this philosophic
soliloquy:
"Dat's what makes me 'spise mule P-

ABOUT MULcHINe.-N enough cmpha-
sis can b. placed on that word, mulch In
ii lies the secret of success with planters of
not only fruit trees, but lawn trees. Let
us count up some of the good things ac-
complished by this little top-dressing Of
litter, manure, and sawdust: l. 1t keeps
the roots from becoming dry in the hot
season. 2. 1t equalzes the temperature
ture of the tree; that is, it serves like
good pair of warm boots on yourself. 3. 1t
prevents the action of frost in tipping or
heaving newly-planted trees. 4. II en-
riches the soil. 5. 1t gives the soil a fra
BILE character, easily permeated by roots.
o. 1t prevents the growth of grass and
weeds or renders them easily pulled. 7. 1t
is good disposition of almost all waste
matter, weeds and refuse. We could go on
with much longer list of the benefits de-
rived from this single application, so easily
applied, so generally neglected. Indeed,
we may be sure that, with moderate care
in planting, with judicious pruning, and
thorough mulching, we shall succeed with
all kinds of trees and shrubs. My neigh
Dor over the way has now TO dig up and
throw away every one of the fine ever
greens planted last fall He failed in two
things-in neither cutting back his trees
nor in mulchng. The sorry-looking things
are pointing over at some equally beautiful
specimens planted by another neighbor in
rich manure. Had he put the manure on
top of the ground, it might have saved his
trees. Those who are troubled with the
premature dropping of foliage will find
mulching preventative. 1t also insures
larger, plumper fruit, of truer flavor.
The currant, for instance, can hardly be
grown to perfection without it, The same
may be said of dwarf pears.

KEEPING EGGs FREsH.-The most con-
venient and satisfactory way 10 keep eggs
fresh, is to take an old tin pail and punch
numerous holes in its bottom and sides, and
after filling ii with fresh eggs, lower 1t into
a kettle of melted tallow, as hot as can be,
without burning ones fingers when thrust
into it, then lift the pail out quickly, and
the melted tallow will flow out, leaving a
thin coating on every egg. Remove the
eggs from the pail, and pack them on their
ends in keg or barrel; place in cool eel
lar until wanted for use. Eggs have been
kept thus, more than six months-so fresh
that expert judges supposed they were
fresh. The eggs being so much colder
than the tallow, a thin covering of cold tai
low will be formed almost instantly which
renders the shell impervious TO the air.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

Trees and Climate.

The influence Of forests upon agri-
culture was the subject dealt with at
m important Congress lately held in
Vienna, at which representatives. of
various nations appeared and had in
terestlng discussions. Some of the
facts stated are very interesting. In
Algeria several rainy days have been
added to July and August by exten.
siye tree-plantifg under French aus.
pices. Formerly Upper Egypt had
but five or six rainy DAYS i'm conse.
quence of the soil having been denud.
ed of trees. But the Government
caused millions of trees to be planted
and as consequence there are now
forty six days of rain every year
Since tho canal was opened across the
lsthmus Of Suez trees have been plant.
ed TO keep off the sand storms, and
the climate has changed, rain being
frequent where il was formerly I'M
known. In Istria, the country. once
fertile, was reduced 10 a desert by the
destruction Of the forest, but millions
Of olive trees being planted aud care
fully nurtured, fertility has been re.
stored and the country is rich and
prosperous 1t Is believed that in
Hungary, Palestine and Asia Minor
and the vast regions where the an
cient empires of Assyria and Babylon
once ilourished, the deserts now seen
have resulted from the destruction or
forests and shrubbery and vegetation
by the desolating confagrations of
conquering armies.

Fashion Notes.

The present style Of wearing the
hair IS to have single narrow chate-
lain.braid down the back of the head.
with two or three soft pufs on TOP.
and crown braid in front. The back
is still combed up from the name Of
the neck, but its bare look is taken
away by the chatelaine braid.
The newest earrings are of bone
They are cut in the form of many,
pointed stars tipped with different
colors. A small star fastens in the
lobe OF the ear, and a larger one hangs
underneath. They are verv odd and
very pretty. The first made were ex.
hlbited at the Vienna Exposition.
The fashion of wearing beads
around the neck has been revived.
Jet beads are used instead of the large
rubber ones as heretofore. Four times
around the neck is, We believe. the
correct syle just now.
Brown corduroy jackets. made
double.breasted, with deep collar and
reverse, will be fashionable this win.
