teaspoonful of lemon, three cups Of
flour beat the white of egg separately,
the sugar and yolk and butter together !;
bake in thoroughly heated oven.
CAKE.-In cake baking never beat the
eggs and sugar together before adding
other ingredients, as the sugar hardens
the eggs. In using favoring, one must
depend upon taste instead of directions,
as some extracts are much stronger than
others. If, in baking layers of cake, it
breaks in coming out of the tins, either
make it less rich or add more egg.
PUDDING SAUcE.-One quart of boil
ing water, four large tablespoonfuls OF
white or brown sugar, two of flour, one OF
butter, one teaspoonful of salt nutmeg
or cinnamon to taste. Two tablespoon
fuls of currant or blackberry wine or
cider are great improvement. Let the
whole be boiled together for about ten
minutes. 1t is necessary to mix the

adding it to the boiling water.

A NEW DEPARTURE IN MEDICINE
There are "new departures" in medicine
as well as in politics. The latest and
most successful of these is the bold move
ment of DIR. Joseph Walker, of Califor-
mia, who has actually had the efffontery
to produce q Vegetable Tonic and Restor-
alive, without any alcoholic basis, which
is curing disorders of the stomach, liver,
bowels, nerves and pulmonary organs,
with a rapidity that fairly entities him
to the anathemas of the Old School OF
Physicians, and the praise and confidence
of the Newt His CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
Buffers may be safely pronounced the
most popular remedy of the age. When
it is considered that this now famous
specific was introduced some two years
ago, its present sale, which is at the rate
of {, 000, 900 bottles per annum, can only
be ascribed to its intrinsic merits. 1t is
believed that the history Of '"patent
medicines" affords no example of n sue
cess so rapid and complete. The COM
munity insists that this success is thor
oughly deserved, and we have no inclina-
ton to dispute its dictum. The Voice
of the People, if not exactly that Of ON
impotence, Is generally the voice of Com
mon Sense. and as they have had ample
time to take sober second thought on
the subject, it may be assumed that, in
this instance, their opinion is creditable
to their sagacity. -[Com.

PACING HORSES.

In Barbary, pacing horses are held in
such estimation that the method of max
ing spirited trotter shackle like boat
in chop sea is reduced to a science. To
make them rack easily, a ring of lead
covered with leather is put around each
hoof; cord from each weight ascends
and is fastened to the saddle front and
rear; next, strap runs horizontally
from the fore to the hind foot on both
sides. Being rather short, it is impos-
sible to make a long step. Restraint
compels the animal to practice a new
gait, to progress at all. AS soon as
habit is established of going ahead thus
fettered, the desirable amble is fully and
permanently accomplished.

THE OOFFEE PLANT.

The coffee plant or tree is indigenous
to Southern Abyssinia but it derives it's
name from Kaffa, in Eastern Africa,
where it grows wild. 1t has grown wild
in Ethiopia from time immemorial,
whence it gradually found it's way over
the Eastern lands. 1t was used as
medicine in Persia, and was carried
thence (about the fifteenth century of
our era) by Dervishes to Mecca, where
it was used as beverage, and soon be-
came SO popular that it became the
favorite drink of the followers of Ma
homet, and appears to have been used
by them as substitute for wine. Its
cultivation is widely diffused over the
tropics. 1t is grown in the West India
Islands, in the Provinces of Central
America, Peru, Cayenne, Bolivia and
Brazil, which is the greatest market in
ALL Tt is likewise spread over Arabia,
the western coast of Africa, Ceylon,
Sumatra, Bourbon, Mauritus, Java, and
some of the Pacific islands. The coffee
plant bears the extremes of climate we'll
It grows on the level of the sea, and is
cultivated 1000 feet above the sea. 1t
is now an ascertained fact that much of
the far-famed Mocha coffee is produced
in the East Indies and shipped to Mocha,
and no inconsiderable portion also comes
from the low-land of Kaffa and Enarea,
in Africa. The excellence of Mocha
coffee appears to consist more in the
name and method of cutting than any
other cause A coffee field in full bloom
is said to be the most beautiful sight in
the world, and travellers say that it is
worth a voyage to Java or Ceylon to in
hale the delicious fragrance of the air in
the coffee season. Coffee was first regu-
larly introduced in England about the
middle of the seventeenth century.
About hundred years ago New York
coffee houses were the places of princi-
pal resort for merchants, and the scenes
of many heavy mercantile transactions
and auction sales. They held their own
until they were practically merged in
the more pretentious hotels. The Amer
lean people are its greatest consumers
and after them the French and English.

PRor. WArERHousE, in recent paper

PROF. WATERHoUsE, in n recent paper
on the resources of Missouri, gives the
following description of the iron noun
tains, for which the State is famous ::
Shepherd Mountain is 600 feet high.
The ore contains large percentage of
iron. The height of Pilot Knob above
the Mississippi river is ], 114 feet. Its
base, 5S1 feet from the summit, is 200
acres. The upper section of al feet is
Judged to contain IA, 900, 900 tons of ore.
The elevation of Iron Mountain is 22S
feet, and the area of it's base 400 acres.
The solid contents of the coue are $780,
OOO,OOO tons. 1t is thought that every
foot beneath the surface will yield
5000, 900 tons. At the depth OF $50
feet the artesian auger was still pene-
trating solid ore, These mountains con-
tain enough ore above the surface to
afford, for 200 years, an annual supply
of 1000, 900 tons. The iron is strong,
tough and fbrous.
