BOILER-DECR ELoQUENCE.
The company here arose from he table
and gathered in groups upon the boiler-deck
where an hour was pleasantly whiled away
in hearing speeches from Col. Henry Fra
zier. of Mississippi; Mr.. Geo. L. Purvis, of
the Banner; Col. j. NJ. Hambrick, Col. r.
C. McNairy and Mr.. II. 5. French, whose
humorous sailies or more serious remarks
were well received.
Mr.. Purvis said:

ANYTHING on the occasion, but have, in man

ment is increasing, when l reflect that l

into a mutual admiration society, it is dan
gerous for me to say the things that first

Best Organs ON Most Favorable Terms.

The new terms offered by the Mason &
Hamlin Organ Company for the sale of
their celebrated instruments create dis
satisfaction with many dealers, who de-
clare that they will greatly injure the
business of selling other organs, especial
ly by peddlers. By these terms person
is allowed to hire an organ, paying only
a reasonable rent for it-having the priv
ilege, of course, of returning it at any
time after six months, or of purchasing
it at any time. If the purchase is COM
pleted within'a year the whole cost of
the organ is only 5 to 10 per cent. more
than if all cash had been paid at the be-
ginning.
Dealers say this is much too small diff
ference for the accommodation in time,
and privilege of returning, given.
The Mason & Hamlin Company are de-
termined to try the experiment thorough
ly at least, being confident that their or
gans will prove so attractive and salts
factory in use that scarcely any will ever
be returned to them. Circulars with full
particulars can be obtained by address
ing them in Boston, New York, or Chi

How a Crop Was Saved and the Army
Worm Beaten.

The army worm has in California met
an actual defeat. These creatures APP
peared in vast numbers on the beet fields
near Sacramento, and opposition was ut
terly powerless by trenches or by fire,
but the experiment of setting turkeys
against them proved completely success
full. The birds rushed at them, and for
several days lived upon no other food,
supplying themselves almost to surfeit
with this delicious treat. For awhile ii
was uncertain which party would pre-
vail, but latest accounts report a COM
plete triumph for the birds. The turkey
crop has disposed of the worm and saved
the beet crop-and inasmuch as the beets
were in hundreds of acres, cultivated for
sugar, the victory saves an important in
.dustry that was threatened with entire
destruction. Some of the birds suffered
One, indeed, died, and being dissected
was found to contain 1 ,432 worms, many
of which were still alive. There were
about 5000 turkeys engaged, and the to-
tai number of worms eaten may be cal
culated at leisure.

Take Care of the Feathers.

" According to statistics very carefully
compiled" says writer in La Nature,
we throw away yearly a quantity OF
chicken feathers the intrinsic yalHe of
which is equal to the money we pay out
for cotton. startling statement, but
the author considers it true, and he pro-
ceeds to explain how the feathers are
prepared to render them valuable: The
operation is to cut the plume portion OF
the feathers from the stem by means of
ordinary hand scissors. The former are
placed in a bag, which, when full, is
closed and subjected to a thorough
kneadlng with the hands. AT the end of
i've minutes the feathers, it is stated, be-
come dlsaggregated and felted together,
forming down perfectly homogeneous
and OF great lightness. 1t is even lighter
than natural elder down, because the
latter contains the ribs of the feathers,
which give extra weight. The material
thus prepared is worth and readily sells
in Paris for two dollars pound. About
one and One-sixth Troy ounces of this
down can be obtained from feathers of
an ordinary pullet; and this, on the above
valuation, is worth about twenty cents.
1t is suggested that, through the winter,
children might collect all the feathers
about farm, and cut the ribs out as we
have stated. BY the spring time large
quantity of down would be prepared
which could be disposed of to upholster-
ers, or employed for domestic uses.
Good feathers may be treated in a SINH
lar manner, and thus two-thirds of the
product of the bird utilized, instead of
only about one-ffth, as is at present the

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Baked Squash.-Take six medium
sized squashes or cymlings, put them in
boiling water, and let them boil until
soft enough to mash with spoon; take
them out drain all the water carefully
from them; season with pepper, salt and
butter to taste. Beat two eggs till light;
stir into them half cupful of milk mix
all we'll together. Put into dish, and
bake quickly in hot oven, say ten
minutes.
Wild Ducks.-After they are cleaned
and ready for cooking, wrap them in a
clean cloth and bury twelve hours in the
earth to remove the strong flavor of this
bird. They are usually cooked without
stuffing. Three-quarters of an hour will
be sufficient to cook them. When you
dish them draw sharp kife three times
through the breast, and pour over gravy
of little hot butter, the juice Of a
lemon, and sprinkling of Cayenne
pepper. This is poured over as they go
on to the table.-Cult60Gt0r
Russian Cream.-One quart of milk,
three eggs, one cup of sugar, half pack
age Cox's gelatin, vanilla or lemon fla
| voring. Dissolve the gelatin in half pint
of tepid water, bring it to warm tempera-
ture, but not scalding. Beat the yolks of
the eggs and sugar together. Bring the
milk to a boil, then add the dissolved
gelatin, two eggs and sugar, and let it just
| come to boiling point, but no more, as
| it is too stiff Beat the whites and re-
move the mixture from the stove, and add
the whites to it; also flavoring, and pour
into moids. This requires to stand
longer than wine jelly. If wanted for
| dinner make the day before. Eat with
cream if you like.-Erc7taaaqe
Make little preparation for winter
| flowers. 1t is surprising what little
forethought will do in this direction. A
pot of mignonette and another of sweet
| alyssum cost nothing, and yet few things
will be found more pleasant and attract
| i've in the winter season. Plants that
| appear unimportant, almost insignificant,
and entirely eclipsed by more ambitious
rivals, when the garden is ablaze with
| it's summer glory, sometimes prove to be
very queens of beauty when transferred
| to the sitt1ng-room or the bay-window.
| The balsam is very desirable plant for
winter blooming, particularly the white,
and toward autumn we often select cut
| tings from few of the finest plants in
| the garden and root them in pots for
| winter flowers. The stocks are equally
good. The cobea scandens and nearly
all the climbers make good winter bloom
ers. Mignonette and sweet alyssum may
be sown now. Put from three to six
plants in a pot. Any plants in the open
ground that have not bloomed may be
be taken up carefully and potted, shading
a few days after potting, and giving
full supply of water. Look around the
garden before frost and see if you have
some young and strong plants that proved
little late for outdoor Towering that
you would like to try in pots. If so,
take them up with as little disturbance
as possible, and put in good soil.-Catlt5-

JULIAN DANNFELT, of the Academy of
Agriculture at Stockholm, writing of a
Swedish butter factory, remarks of the
cream: C 1t should not be kept more
than two days in the warmer part of the
year, nor more than three days in colder
weather, before being churned, other
wise it becomes bitter and acquires an
unpleasant taste, which is transmitted to
the butter made from it, whose value is
thereby much diminished" He adds
" 1t may be accepted as a positive rule
that the fresher and sweeter the cream
is, so much the finer is the butter made
from it." On the other hand, two emf
nent authorities in the same place-Prof.
Alexander Muller and DR.. Eisendinck-a
few years ago, after long period of care
full inquiry and experiment, came to the
following conclusion: The souring of
milk or cream has directly little or moth
ing to do with preparing them for the
churn. Its influence is, however, other
wise felt, as it causes the casein to pass
beyond the gelatinous condition in which

POPULAR FALLACY AND DECEPTIoNs-
1t is an infirmity of man to cling to the
teachings of a past generation and to stub
bornly resist the light of reform and
progress. Health-reform and Temper
ance- growth are jealousy watched over
by the Poison Bitters compounders One
great prevailing deception of the present
age is the impression that every human
biped of either sex must be stimulated,
and the poisoned chalice is labeled
" Medicated Bitters," the better to palli-
ate their use and prolong the epidemic.
One of the most jealous workers to cure
this malady, DIR. JOSEPH WALKER, In
ventor and Proprietor of the famed CAL
IFoRNIA VINEGAR BIrTERs, believes in
making Bitters that are true medicine, !"
and advises the, sick man to swallow a
draught that will wash out the Leprosy
of his disease. In this faith he is stead
fast, and his VINEGAR BITTERs, though a
contradiction to the general character Of
all other Bitters, are, as a great success
and Life V5taEiser, evidence of one popu-
lar fallacy and corrected. 3

Animal Instincts.

WHEN we talk of the lower animals
being provided with instinct, and not
| with reason, what we really mean is that,
although they are sensitive, and al
though they are conscious, yet they do
act mechanically, and that their different
states of consciousness, their sensations,
their thoughts Gf they have them), their
volitions (if they have them), are the
products and consequences of the me-
chanical arrangements. l must confess
that this popular view is to my mind the
only one which can be scientifically
adopted. We are bound by everything
we know of the operations of the nerv-
Gus system to believe that, when a GER
tain molecular change is brought about
in the central part of the nervous sys-
tenn, that change, in some way utterly
unknown to us, causes that state of
consciousness that we term a sensation.
1t is not to be doubted that the impress
sion excited by those motions which give
rise to sensation leaves in the brain
molecular changes which answer to what
Halter called 0estGgSG re1et1a," and which
that great thinker, David Hartley,
termed vibratiuncles, which we might
term sensigenous molecular, and which
constitute the physical foundation of
memory. Those same changes gave rise
naturally to the conditions of pleasure
and pain, and to those emotions which
in ourselves we call volition. I have no
doubt that is the relation between the
| physical processes of the animal and his
mental processes. In each case it fol
lows inevitably that these states of con-
seriousness can have no sort of relation
of causation to the motions of the mus
cles of the body. The volition of ami
mails will be simply states of emotion
which precede their actions. The. only
conclusion, then, at which there seems
any good grounds for arriving is, that
animals are machines, but that they are
conscious machines.-Prof Hurley, an
Popular Science Monthly for October.

the latter is inclined to foam strongly at
low temperature, and, by enveloping the
fat glsbules, hinders them uniting to-
gether. On churning cream that is very
sour the casein separates N fine granu-
lar state, which does not interfere with
the gathering of the butter. Cream
churned when slightly sour, as is the
custom in the Holstein diaries, yields
butter of peculiar and fine aroma, and
has the taste which Holstein butter
has after keeping some time"

The Danger of Wet Coal.

People who prefer wetting the winters
store of coal to lay the dust on putting it
in their cellars do not, we believe, gen
orally know that they are laying up for
themselves a store of sore throats and
other evils consequent upon the practice.
But so it is said to be. Even the fire
damp which escapes from coal mines
arises from the slow decomposition of
coal at temperatures but little above
that of the atmosphere, but under aug
mented pressure. By wetting mass of
freshly-broken coal and putting it into a
warm cellar the mass is heated to such
degree that carburetted and sulphu-
retted hydrogen are given off for long
periods of time and pervade the whole
house. The liability of wet coal to mis-
chievous results under such circum-
stances may be appreciated from the cir
cumstance that there are several IN
stances on record of the combustion of
wet coal when slowed into the bunkers
or holds of vessels. And from this cause,
doubtless, many missing coalvessels have
perished.-L0a61of Medical Record.

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement. Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity by
this fatal malady. This disease generally has
its origin in impure blood filled with irritat-
ing, poisonous materials, which, circulating
through the heart, irritate its delicate tissues
Though the irritation may at first be only
slight, producing a little palpitation or irreg-
ular action, or dull, heavy, or sharp darling
pains, yet by and by the disease becomes
firmly seated, and inflammation, or hypertro.
ply, or thickening of the lining membrane OF
of the valves, is produced. How wise to give
early attention to a case of this kind. Unnat-
ural throbbng or pain in the region of the
heart should admonish one that all is not
right, and if you would preserve it from
further disease you must Lelp it to beat
rightly by the use of such remedy as will
remove the cause of the trouble. Use DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery before the
disease has become too seated, and it will, by
its great blood-purifying and wonderful regu-
lating properties, effect perfect cure. 1t con-
tains medicinal properties which act specific
ally upon the tissues of the heart, bringing
about healthy action. Sold by all first-class
