Reducing Bones for Gardens.

IT is not often that bones can be col
lected on the farm in sufficient quantities
for field crops, but every man who has a
garden can make little excellent manure
by saving those within his reach. 1t is
useless to recommend converting them
into home made superphosphate by using
sulphuric acid; the difficulty and trouble
in procuring the acid away from cities,
and the care and experience required to
use it, are sufficient objections. There
are, however, two modes of reducing the
bones which every gardener may easily
adopt. One is to place them in thin lay
ers in fermenting heap of manure,
which, if they are previously broken,
viii soften them enough to cause crumb-
ling after the lapse of weeks, when the
heap is worked over. Even common
ot-bed will do, if the bones are first
broken into fragments. The other mode
is to boil them, as follows: Mix them in
a large kettle with wood ashes, and to
make the ashes caustic add about a peck
of fresh lime to each barrel of bones.
Saturate and cover the ashes well with
water, and then apply heat say for
twenty-four hours, or during the day for
two consecutive days. All the bones by
this time, except the very hardest parts,
will be SO reduced as to be easily pulver-
lied, being in Il pasty condition, suitable
for placing in layers in making the COM
post heap. Another days boiling will
reduce the remainder of the hard bones

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

English Furmety.-Take nice, clean
wheat and soak it for thirty-four hours;
boil it gently the day before it is re
CURED until quite tender, which Will be
in about six hours. On the day you
want to use it put the wheat, covered
with milk, upon the stove to simmer Tor
two hours; half an hour before wanting
mix with it some currants and couple
of yolks of eggs, Il little powdered en-
ramon, and sugar to your taste.
Chicken Pic,Boil the chicken IN
water sufficient to make a good dressing,
till the meat will easily slip from the
bones-the latter to be all removed. MIN
the meat well together, season with salt,
butter and little flour. Make Il crust
in the usual manner, line dishes two or
three inches in depth with crust, put In
the meat with plenty of gravy, paste
over the top and bake an hour. This is II
great improvement upon putting IN the
bones, as it does away with choice in
the parts.
-Chartreuse of Negetables.-Line Il
plain mold or two-quart tin basin with
very thin slices of raw bacon; have pre-
pared some halfboiled string beans, car
rots and turnips; cut the latter into small
dice and scatter them all around the
edges and bottom of the pan about an
inch thick; fill up the middle with
some chopped veal, or with mixed
chopped potatoes and cabbage or cauli-
flower Put plate over the top of the
mold, tie cloth over that and put it
into steamer for an hour and half
Turn out upon a platter and serve with
cream or white Sauce.-C0untry Gentle

Cooking "Greens"-Every house
wife thinks she can cook greens" 1t is
the simplest of all dishes, and yet in most
cases they are not well served, for much
depends upon the manner in which they
are boiled. The water should be soft
and tablespoonful of salt added to a
large sized pot of it, which should be
boiling hot when the greens are thrown
in; and then it should be kept on the
boiling gallop, but uncovered until they
are done, which can be told by their
sinking to the bottom of the pot, and
they should be skinned out as quickly
as possible into colander, so that all
the water will run out Press them with
small plate, then turn upon platter,
add a large piece of butter and cut up
fine. Serve while smoking hot.

red and white, exhibiting each color al
ternately, or varying a steady white
flame with crimson flash. The dis
tinctions are SO decided and numerous
that the lookout ut the masthead can
tell in an instant which light it is that he
sees. The principal guides TO the harbor
of New York for incoming ocean steam
ships are the Fire Island and Highland
lights, and the lights of the Sandy
Hook lght-ship. If these were all
the same in color and form, the Oldest
captain might possibly mistake one for
the other, and 81 run his vessel aground
But each is different The Fire Island
light house exhibits white flash, the
Highland a fixed white light, and the
light ship Il fixed red light. Upon such
distinctions as these the success OF the
system much depends. Another very
important point is thatino changes shall
be made in the appearance of the light
house until a notice of them has been
published in the maritime columns of the
newspapers and in official circulars dis
tributed among seafaring men. The
sites of light houses and the stations OF
light-ships are chosen in the most eN-
posed neighborhoods, and where wrecks
are most frequent. On Block Island, in
the approach to the Long Island Sound,
fifty nine ships were lost between the
wears 1919 and 1888, in several instances
with all their crews. There was Il place
for beacon, and beacon was built
which has since warned off many an i'm
periled vessel-JF. II. RideiHg, in st.

Great misfortunes can be borne with
patience, for we feel that they come from
the hand of God, and are designed to fall
upon us for some wise purpose, but it is
so difficult to bear with meekness the
little trials and the little worries of life
that nine-tenths of the people in this
world have not learned the art
Little worries are perpetually assailing
US, and no sphere of life can secure us
from them. Riches, influence, friends
cannot save us from their constant an
noyance.
Friend, if you are woman, you know
all about these little worries. They
begin when your waking hours begin,
and they follow you through the day,
and very often sit on your pillow at night.
Monday morning it rains, and the
weeks washing must be delayed and the
work drag all the week in consequence.
The bread is burned, the fruit-cake turns
out heavy as lead, the sponge-cake sticks
to the tin, the cat upsets all the cream
there is in the house and Cyrus has to
drink his coffee without, and goes to the
store " cross as IA bear" Dear little
Tommy falls down stairs and raises Il
fearful bump on his forehead, and you
were intending to take him to the pho
tographer tomorrow to get his sweet
picture taken for his Aunt Lavinia.
Bridget has split the molasses on the
cellar stairs, and the ants have got into
the cup custards you were going to have
for supper, and you have run IA splinter
under your nail putting the kindlings
into the stove, and the boy hasn't come
with the steak for dinner, and you have
Just heard that the measles are in the
Allen family next door, and none of your
children have had them.
Your chignon needs to be braided over,
for tomorrow is Sunday, and Mrs. d.,
whom you despise, sits just behind you
in church, and every woman wants her
back hair to look well when she is sure
that somebody she hates will be sure to
see it. And just us you take it off to
braid it your door bell rings, and you
peep through the blinds and see that ele-
CANT Mrs Brown come to make Il call.
And yon get up your head at random,
without glass, and pass the interval of
her visit in IL fever of dread and terror
lest your couture be one sided, or other
wise out of proper order.
Now, anybody may laugh at these lit
tie worries and call them childish, but
the fact of it is they wear ones nerves
and patience out much sooner and much
more surely than those greater worries
which we call misfortunes
1t is very difficult to recognize the hand
OF God in these tritles of our daily exist
ence, and thousands of tombstones should
be marked, if we ever did see truth writ

Lighthouses.

LIGHTHOUSES simplify navigation and
lessen its dangers, thus encouraging
commerce by preventing the shipwrecks
that increase theseost of transportation.
But it js.-not alone for their economy
that rfiey are valuable. They protect
me iives OF our sailors, and were estab
lished, first of all, with that noble pur-
pose. Less than one hundred years ago
there were only eighty-four light houses
IN the United States. Tonight, as YOU
sit by the window watching the lamp
lighter hurrying through the darkcning
streets at sunset, 591 beacons twinkle
seward on the coast from the St. Croix
River, on the boundaries of Maine, to the
Rio Grande, on the Gulf of Mexico, and
cover a distance of over 5000 miles on
the Atlantic coast, 800 miles more on
the Pacific coast, 5000 miles on the
great Northern lakes, and 700 miles on
the inland rivers. There is scarcely Il
square foot on the margin of the sea
throughout the 5000 miles of Atlantic
coast that is not illuminated by light
house rays, and, in clear weather, the
mariner passing out of sight of one light
Immediately gains another.
If all these lights were alike they
would lead to disastrous mistakes, and
instead OF guiding they would confuse
Accordingly, they are divided into six
kinds The first-order lights are intended
to give warning of the approach of land,
and are supplied with ihe best appara-
tus, visible at the greatest distance; the
second-order lights are of the next best
quality, not so powerful as the first, and
they mark capes and approaches to bays
and sounds; the third-order lights are in
ferior to either Of the above, and point
bays that are very wide and intricate
like the Delaware Bay; the fourth, fifth
and siyth-order LIGHTS are usually Simnle
lanterns, marking the shoals, wharves
and other prominent points in smaller
bays and rivers.
They are also distinguished more ex-
actly IN another way. In some instances
the lights are white and fixed; in others
they are white and revolve at stated in
tervals, of which the mariner is informed
in other instances they are red and fixed,
or red and revolving, and again they are

Something to Spell.

The most skillful gauger 1 ever knew

instrument of coercion to tyrannize
over his pony shod with calks. He was

Advice to Settlers.

AT late celebration of Queen Veto
ria's birthday in Virginia, Mr.. st. An.
drew is reported to have given his coun-
trymen the following advice which is
equally applicable To Americans intend
ing to migrate. He said:
l. Come in colonies, or go to colonies.
?. Bring money in your purse
3. Leave your prciudices behind.
4. Don't expect too much
5. For land or business pay cash.
6. Keep two-thirds ut least of your
money for working capital.
Z. Avoid land sharks. You can easily
find ont the reliable land agents.
8. In buying land don't get too much
of n good thing.
.. Adhere TO the oldfashioned princi-
Piles of British honor. Don't attempt
:" smartncss." Bctter-class Americans
don't admire it; but they can beat you
at the game if you challenge them to it
10. Remember that success is more in
the man than in the country.

The Cause Of Fellows in Peach Trees.

WHATEVER may he or may not he the
cause of the yellows in peach trees, one
thing is reliable, namely: If a liberal
quantity of lime be spread about some
trees, and wood ashes or dissolved pot
ash around other trees, on Il different
soil, the yellows will disappear. This has
been proven over and over again until
all doubts have been removed. Con
corning this subject Thomas Meehan
writes that if you dig around a peach
with the yellows, you will be first struck
with n mushroomy smell. Picking out
the roots and examining them with "a
lens you will see millions of thread-like
hbcrs, which are the mycelia of fungi
These eat the young fibcrs, and leave
only the main roots, through which all

do much more than draw in water, the
