Ginger beer powders can be made BY
taking four ounces of powdered white
sugar, one draolam Of pulvetized ginger,
and five drachms of carbonate soda. Di-
vide it into twelve equal parts and put
each part into colored paper. Take
one ounce Of tartaric acid and divide it
into twelve equal parts, putting each part

well dissolved, then pour one upon the
other and drink while effervescing.
For q raspberry effervescing bever-

How to Polish Brass.-The easiest
way to polish brass is to rub the metal
with rotten-stone and sweet oil, then rub
off with piece of cotton flannel and
polish with soft leather. A solution of
oxalic acid rubbed over tarnished brass
soon removes the tarnish, rendering the
metal bright. The acid must he washed
of with water and the brass rubbed with
whiting and soft leather. A mixture of
muriatic acid and alum dissolved in wa
ter imparts golden color to brass ar
ticies that are stepped in it for few Sec
Onds.
Dried Codfish.-Cut up the fish into
square slices, make q basin hot by
means OF hot water, which pour out
Lay In the fish with two bay leaves and
. small bunch OF savory herbs and pars-
icy; cover with spring water; put a
plate over to keep in the steam and let
it remain for ten minutes. Take out the
slices, put them in q hot dish, rub over
with butter and pepper and serve. A
simpler way, however, is as follows:
Gradually warm the Goldfish, either be-
fore or over q nice clear fire, have little
piece of butter rubbed over it and send
it expediciously to the table in thor
oughly hot dish.
1t is said that from careful estimate
there are z, OOO, 900 bee-hives in the Unit
ed States. Every hive yields on an aver
age a little over twenty-five pounds of
honey. The average price ut which
honey is sold is twenty-five cents a
pound; SO that, after paying their own
board, the bees present us with rev.
enue OF q, 800, 600. To reckon it another
way, they make a clear gift of over a
pound OF pure honey to every man,
woman and child in the United States.
Over twenty-three and one-third million
pounds OF wax are made and given to us
by these industrious workers. The keep
ing Offices is one of the most profitable
investments that our people can make of
their money. The profits arising from
the sale of surplus honey average from

A Marrow Escape.

We believe the following thrilling in
cident, which is narrated by one of the
officers of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
& Baltimore Railroad as recently occur
ring near Seakide, Del, has not yet been
published. In the early part of last
month, as the express train from
Washington Qimited) was approaching
Scakide, running at about forty
five or forty.six miles an hour, the
engineer, Philibert Carmichael, observed
. small object on the track about mile
ahead, which he quickly recognized as q
child, apparently fascinated with the ap-
proach Of the rushing train, and dancing
up and down on the track, Tapping its
little hands either in terror or delight,
Mr.. Carmichael could not observe which.
The brave engineer reversed the Weston
house vacuum, backed his Unbelievable,
and loudly applied the alarm punch,
hoping to frighten the child from the
track without losing time: His efforts
were, however, In vain. The dahpness
of the day had fabricated the rails to
such an extent that it was impossible
fully to arrest the tremendous speed of
the locomotive, although it was greatly
retarded. Another rod and the uncon-
scious infant would be crushed beneath
the ponder0us wheels. At this moment
the peril of the child was discovered by
the mother, who was standing at her
wash-tub at her cottage door. Para
lyzed with terror she was rooted to the
spot, and hid her face in her hafllls from
the horrible sight. Grinding, grating,
struggling against its almost resistless
momentum, the great engine crept closer
and closer to the prattling, dancing little
creature, and the cold drops of terror
stood upon the grimy brow of the ag-
onized engineer. But just as the fatal
point was reached faint jar from one
of the slight Irregularities SO rare on that
excellent road dipped the cow-catcher
under the dancing feet of the child and
landed him gently ON the roadside with
out scratch. And as the brave Car
michael put on his vacuum and dashed
forward ON his lightning course, the last
glimpse he had showed him. the rescued
infant still tapping his little hands in
childish glee, as if to thank him for the
skill and courage that had saved it from
dreadful death.-Balttmore American.

How to Produce Beautiful Flowers.

Many persons who admire beautiful
flowers appear to think that when the
seed Is put into the soil, or when plant
Is placed In pot of mellow dirt, their
task is ended. No delusion is more vain
than this If one desires to cultivate
luxuriant flowers he must first learn to
love them, as they cannot be expected to
flourish by neglect. Flowers require
much more water than most persons sup
pose. When they are exposed to a dry
and dusty apartment the dust that will
settle on the leaves daily should be
washed off at least twice every week.
When the stems anu leaves of plants
cannot be sprinkled IL the apartment
where they are Kept, Zach flower-pot can
be placed In large ,nk or on broad,
extended 0il-ciOth On the kitchen floor,
which will collect all .lc drippings. The
leaves should have generous drenching
with tepid water. Never allow flowers
to be watered or sprinklcd with cold
water, especially in cold weather. Tepid
water is always better, even in summer.
In many instances flower-pots are only
two-thirds filled, whereas they should
always be filled to the brim with the best
and richest soil that can he obtained.
This is more important when pots are
small than with large ones. Even small
plants require all the space that pot
holding several quarts will afford. Grow
ing flowers like to send out their roots
far and wide. 1t is an excellent practice
to save the soapsuds of washing days,
and warm q supply every day for water
ing the flowers But after the soapsuds
have been applied every leaf and stem
should be washed with clean rainy water
to remove the alkali of the suds. A
spoonful of aqua ammonia, mingled with
a quart of water, will greatly improve
the water for house plants. Growing
plants require heat. Cold air is exceed
ingly detrimental even to hardy plants.
If one would have his plants thrive sat
isfactorily at all times, he must avoid all
transition from high to low tempera-
ture. The injury done to tender plants
during one cold night, when placed near
a window, cannot be repaired during ten
days of excellent after-care.-N. Y.

A Friend to Horticulture.

LAST season I noticed the ants were
more numerous than had ever known
them to be before. We had been expert
menting some in silk-worms, and we foond
it very difficult to keep the ants from
them and their cocoons. Then I also
discovered another thing had q hive
that only had few bees in one side, &C.
cupying between two combs, and these
got some moths in it before knew it;
50 when'I got leisure I went out to de-
stroy them before any would hatch out
in the miller, and then found that the
ants also had got in and made clean
sweep and departed, only leaving holes
in the cocoons to show that they had
been there. I then examined further
about other hives. Under them, when
they set on boards, you will generally
find few cocOons of the moth larva,
and where found one there was hole
in them. The idea then struck me, and I
suggested it to others, that the ants had
probably played out several of those in
sects too troublesome to our apple-trees
and fruit, the tent caterpillar and cod
ding moth. And now I find in my
orchard of over 1000 trees one nest of
the caterpillar. Now, if they found the
coddling moth and cleaned them out as
well, I would suggest that the State
Board of Agriculture offer premium on
the production of ants.
Twas feeling pretty blue over fruit
prospects in this State. Last year, in an
orchard of about 200 trees-large enough,
some Of them, to bear four or five BUSH
els, and ought to average a bushel to the
tree at small estimate-l got six bush
els, and four of them only fit for cider.
Unless we can meet the coddling moth in
some way apple-raising is played. ! will
watch with good deal of curiosity the
appearance of the moth this season, hop
ing that my supposition will prove true
in relation to them also.-N. Cameron, in

Nostalgia, or Home-Sickness.

An essay on this subject has recently
been published in the Revue DIES Deur
Mondes. A sad interest is attached to
the article from the fact that it was the
last contribution of Fernand Papillon, q
brilliant young writer and Psychologist,
who died, after short illness, last Jam
uary, at the age of twenty-six.
The temporary displacement Of p0pu-
lati0n during the late Franco-P russian
war drew the attention of physicians to
q strange malady called nostalgia, or
hOme-sickness for ones country. Some
curious cases of this disease occurred,
especially among the inhabitant assem-.
bled at Paris during the siege.
Nostalgia may be characterized in four
wOrds-sadness, sleeplessness, loss of
appetite and weakness. The nostalgia
loses his gsyety, his energy, and seeks
isolation in order to give himself up to
the one idea that pursues him, that of
his country. He embellishes the memo
ries attached to places where he was
brought up and creates an ideal world
where his imagination revels with an
obstinate persistence. He shuns those
whom he loved best, and is irritated by
any effort to console him. This un.
happy mental condition produces func.
ti0nal arrangements which invade the
whole economy of his system. His
features change their expression, his eyes
are fixed and inanimate, and his slow
movements give evidence of = painful
INDIGESTION of will. An abnormal copdi-
ton of the blood follows, the skin be-
comes dry, the pulse lessons, and troubles
of the circulation appear. As the pa

Butter-Making in Hot Weather.

Of the importance of using extreme
cleanliness in milking and the various
malipulations of the milk, cream and
butter, the Western Rural has pretty fully
treated. The absolute necessity of y
pure atmosphere, and the covering of the
cream and butter to prevent contact with
the air, and the germs of fungi constant
ly floating in the atmosphere, have also
been dwelt upon. But, with all this, it
will be found impossible to get satisfac-
tory returns in extremely hot weather;
for, with a temperature above 20 deg.
Fahrenheit, the margarine of milk alb
serbs oxygen slowly or faster, according
to the heat, and oleine is the result. Pure
butter contains thirty eight per cent of
solid fat (margarine) and thirty per cent.
of oil or fluid fat (oleine). At 60 deg.
and under the margarine of milk under
goes but little if any change, and at As
deg. it remains absolutely unchanged.
For this reason, 60 to 50 deg. has been
set down as the limit of temperature at
which cream should be churned.
During the process of churning the
sugar of milk absorbs oxygen, forming
tactic acid. This is always attended
with the formation of heat, and, if the
churning of cream is commenced at. the
higher temperature the heat will be
raised considerably above the maximum,
and the product will always be inferior,
and often worthless except for mechani-
Cal use.
On the other hand, the butter of cream
at 80 deg is separated exceedingly slow,
and at 40 deg. it will not be separated at
all, and as the heat point reaches 20 deg,
or passes It, the product becomes oily

different, or absolutely bad butter.
The thermometer always stands five
or six degrees higher at the close Of the
churning than at the commencement.

results it stands to reason that the cream

The proper time to skim milk under
ordinary circumstances is undoubtedly
when It begins to thicken In the center
OF the pan or vessel in which it il kept,
and before it becomes loppered. In .
very cold temperature the milk viii not

perfectly; and in hot weather the milk

not time to rise perfectly.
Again, the milk from different cows
varies in its time of raising its cream,
according to the size of the oil globules.
