Baked Ham-If the ham has been
long hung put IL on in cold water and
let it come to q boil, when this water
should be turned off. After trimming
from the under side all rusty and smoked
parts return to the kettle with sufficient
| water to cover it. Bring it gradually to
boil and as the scum rises carefully re
move it. Keep it simmering gently until
tender, being careful that it does not
stop boiling nor boil too quickly. Aham
weighing fifteen pounds will require about
five hours. When done let 1t remain in
the hot water until nearly cold; this will
retain the juices. After removing the
skin stick whole cloves in the fat about
an inch apart each way, and sprinkle the
surface with powdered crackers. Bake

How the Chicken Grows in the
Egg.

The ben has scarcely set on her eggs
twelve hours before some lineaments of
the head and body of the chicken ap-
pear. The heart may be seen to beat at
tie end Of the second day; it bas at
that time somewhat the form of horse
shoe, but no blood yet appears. At the
end Of two days two vessels OF blood
are to te distinguished. the pulsation of
which is visible; one Of these is the left
yentricle, and the other the root of the
great artery. AT the fiftieth hour one
auricle of the heart appears, resembling
q moose folded down upon ITSELF The
beating Of the heart is first observed in
the anricle, ard afterwards in the ven
tricle. At the end of seventy hours,
the wings are distinguishable; and on
the head two bubbles are seen for the
brain, one for the bill. and two for the
fore and bind part of the head. To-
wards the end Of the fourth day, the
two auricles already visible draw nearer
to the heart than before. The liver ap-
pears towards the fifth day. At the
end of seven hours more, the lungs and
the stomach becomes visible; and four
hours afterwards, the intestines, and
loins, and the upper jaw. At the one
hundred and forty-fourth hour, two ven-
tricles are visible, and two drops of
blood instead of the single one which
was seen before. The seventh day, the
brain begins to have some consistency.
At the one hundred and nineteenth hour
OF incubation, the bill opens, and the
flesh appears in the breast. In four
hours more, the breast-bone is seen.-
Inssix hours after this, the ribs appear,
forming from the back, and the bill is
very visible, as well as the gall bladder.
The bill becomes green at the end of
two hundred and thirty-six hours; and

TIE LRISuRE OF RoYS

We would suggest to many parents
who are perplexed with the difficulty of
finding the wherewithal to amuse and in
terest their boys, to give their lads every
opportunity of acquiring a mechanical
trade. The industry and ingenuity of
a boy of average ability, says the
Scientific american, may be easily
made to furnish him with a never fail
ing source of amusement of the best
order. The boy who can produce or
make something already begins to feel
that he is somebody in the world, that
achievement of result is not reward
reserved for grown people only. And
the education of mind, ear, and hand,
which this use of tools and mechanical
appliances furnishes, is of a great and
real value, beyond the time. Having
nothing to do, is a great snare to the
young, as it is to the full grown and
no greater benefit can be conferred on
youth than to convert time now wasted,
and often worse than wasted; into
means of pleasant recreations and men
tai improvement. The boy whose time
and mind are now occupied with mar
bles and kites may be a Watts, a
Morse or Bessemer, in embryo; and it
is certainly an easy matter to turn his
thoughts and musings into channel
which shall give full scope to their fac
mites. TO most boys the use of me-
chanical tools is the most fascinating of
all occupations. As logic and mathe-
matics have value beyond accuracy in
argument and correct solution of prob
lens, in that they teach men the habit of
using their 1ehecting powers system
atically, SO carpentry, turning, and
other arts, are of high Importance.
These occupations teach boys to think,
to proceed from initial causes to results,
and not only to understand the nature
and duty of the mechanical powers, but
to observe their efforts, and to acquire
knowledge by actual experiment, which
is the best way of learning anything.
All the theories cuIled out of books
leave an impress on the mnd and mem
ory which is slight compared to that of
the practical experience of the true me

the great responsibility of the charge of
boys: Give them lathe, or a set of
carpenters, or even blacksmith s. tools
give their mind turn toward the solid
and useful side of life. You will soon
see the result in increased activity of
their thinking capabilities, and the
direction of their ideas toward practical
results and still more obviously, in
the avoidance of idle mischief and non
sense Ito omit all reference to absolute
wickedness and moral degradation,
which are, to too great an extent, the
pastime of the generation which is to
succeed u.s.

THE HUSH OF NIGHT AND HOME.

THE HUSH OF NIGHT AND HCME.
It is night now, and here is home.
Gathered under the quiet roof, elders
and children lie alike at rest. In the
midst of great calm the stars look out
from the heavens. The silence is peo-
pied with the past-sorrowfuI remorsel
for sins and shortcomings, memories of
passionate joys and griefs rise out of
their graves, both now alike calm and
sad. Eyes, as I shut mine, look at me,
that have long since ceased to shine.
The town and the fair landscape s1een
under the starlight, wreathed under the
autumn nnists. Twinkling among the
houses, light keeps watch, here and
there, in what may be sick chamber
or two. The clock tolls sweetly in the
silent air. Here is night and rest. An
awful sense of thanks makes the heart
swell and the head bow as I pass to NV
room through the sleeping house. and
feel as though hushed blessing were
upon ThGckerGy.

THE BUILDERS TREE OF MADAGAS

THE BUILDERS TREE or MADAGdo
CAR.
There grows on the island of NADIA
gasear, says the Manufocturer and
Bas5lder, a remarkable tree, called by
botanists Urareio specioso. From
solid trunk, varying %, height from ten
feet upward, and in similar appearance,
though not in naturel to that of the
Southern palmetto, springs up bunch
of stems, each about six or eight feet
long, and some ten or twenty inches
wide. The leaves, when dried, form the
thatch of all the houses onsthe eastern
side of the island, making a perfectly
waterproof covering, while the stems
are used for partitions and sides. The
bark of the tree is very hard, and, un-
like that of the palmetto, is easily
stripped off from the interior soft parts.
For large houses, this bark is cut IN
pieces of twenty or thirty feet long and
twelve to eighteen inches wide, and the
entire floor covered with the same, as
well joined as ordinary timber. The
benefits derived from this tree are not

leaves are used by traders in place of
waterproof wrapping paper for pack
ages by the women, for tablecloths,
and the heavy pieces cut out OF them
for plates at meals, while certain por-
tions are even formed into drinking
vessels and spoons. But the chief pc
culiarity of this remarkable treegis that,
while standing in the forest, the stems
always contain large quantity of pure
fresh water, of which travellers and ma
tives make use in the arid seasons, when
the wells and streams are dry. To OBJ
tain it, spear is driven few inches
deep in the thick end of the stalk, at
its junction with the trunk, and then
withdrawn, when the water, flows out
abundantly. As every one.of the twen-
ty, thirty, forty or more stalks can give
from pint to quart of water, large
amount is contained in each tree. For
this reason it is called by some the
"travelers' tree"
These details have been verified by
the Rev. w. Ellis, who has recently
published an account of his travels in
Madagascar in 1857.

HOME AND HAPPINESS.

There can be no doubt that the tru-
est happiness is ever to be found at
home. No man without home can be
long and truly happy. But the domes-
tic group can be productive of happi-
ness only when it is assimilated by af-
fection, and kept in union by discreet
friendship. Then it tends to produce
as much happiness as this world is
capable of +; and its sweet repose is
sought for by all sensible men, as ever
by the wisest and the greatest. What
can be compared to our intercourse of
life with the attentions on our family,
with their exhilarating smiles and nn.
dissembled love ? All this raises the
gentlest and most pleasing emotions,
and calls forth all the sentiments of un-
controlled nature. What are the rap
lures of ambition, the pleasures of
fame, the delights of honor, in COM
parison with this Utterly worthless
and insipid. Hence it is that we see
senators and heroes shutting out the
acclamations of an applauding world to
parSake the endearments of family con-
versation, and to enjoy the prattling of
their little children in their harmless
pleasures. This is one of the purest
sources of mirth. It has influence, too,
in amending the heart for innocence is
communicated by coming in contact
with it; and the sweet simplicity of
children tends to purify the heart from
the pollution that it has acquired from
moving in the world and mixing
with men. Into what an abyss of
moral degradation should we not be
sunken were it not for women and chill
dren. Well might the Great Author of
evangelical philosophy have been de-
lighted with the presence of children
and found in them-what he in vain
sought among those who judged
themselves their superiors-goodness
and virtue. Cicero, with all his liber-
ality of mind, felt the tenderness of
home attachment. At one time he ac-
knowledged that he received no salts
faction in any company but in that of
his wife, his little daughter, and-to use
his own language" his honied young
ClcorOs S1r 1QOAdS V4OEes WILL LIS
great powers of mind, devoted a great
share of his time-because he knew it
to be his duty and felt it to be his de-
light-to the amusement of his chill
dren. Homer, in bis Had, in the part
ing interview between Hector and An
dromache, has interested the heart of
the reader in his terrible hero by show
ing the amiability of his Trojan chief,
by depicting him, while standing COM
pletely armed for the battle field, TAX
ing off his helmet that he might not
frighten his little boy with its nodding
plumes. How refreshed are we by this
scene of domestic Lowell And how
pleased to see the arm which is shortly
to deal death and destruction among
host of foes employed in caressing an
infant son with the embraces of pater-
nal love.-Pe7a and Pl0aO.

THE HEAD OF A WHALE.

The head is one-third the entire
length of a sperm-whale, and in obtain
ing the valuable spermaceti which it
contains, the whalemen divide it into
three parts-the tease" the "junk, 2"
and the bone. The "junk" is first
hauled on board and slowed away, and
then the "case" is bailed- The
IS case" is a massive part of the head,
cellular in the interior, the walls of the
cells running vertically and transverse
1y. It is filed with oily substance of a
faint yellow tint, translucent when
warm. The oil-bearing flesh forms
about one-third of the mass, and in a
large whale it has yielded three and a
half tons. The case also contains the
respiratory canal, and cavity of ex-
traordinary depth filed with oil. An
opening is made at one end for the pur-
poses of bailing, and it is next hauled
to a vertical position beyond the reach
of the water. A deep and narrow bucket
attached to a line and pulley is then
lowered, and brought up full of trans
parent spermaceti mixed with silky in
teguments, having the odor of freshly
drawn milk. The sore hands of the
crew bathed in this rich substance are
relieved and healed, and the greenhorns
dabble in it with the inefable satisfac-
ton displayed by the city youngsters in
q mud puddle.

DEATH OF A VENERABLE TYPO.


John P. McArdle, the Oldest practica
printer in the country, died recently at
Republic, Seneca county, o. He was
born in Ireland, March, 1885, and was
consequently in his goth year when he
died., He came to this country in 1901,
when he became an apprentice, and, up
to within few months, has continued
the business. How many Topographic
cal errors he had perpetrated in seventy
years, how many thousand ems he had
set up in that time, how many scintil-
lations of genius and fancy he had i'm
mortalized in type, how many unkind
speeches he had placed before the world,
and how many editorial blunders had
been unjustly thrown upon sc our stupid
printer it would be interesting to
know. In seventy years they must have
been numerous. He started no less
than three newspapers, the last. the
Norwalk Reporter, being the first news
paper published in Huron county, Ohio.
Mr.. McArdle was as familiar with the
ok-binding business. as with type-set-
ting, and was in many ways asdistin-
gVIished character.

WONDERS OF TIE THAMES.

Eleven bridges cross the famous River
Thames. and over them go more people
in a year than across any bridges in the
world. They are fine specimens of
architecture, made either of stone or
iron, and some of them cost huge sums
of money. Beneath all these bridges is
a constant stream of boats plying upon
the water. They go and come, up and
down stream, and across in every direc-
ton, and in such numbers and confusion
that the stranger cannot see how they
escape running into and over one an
other. And such noise as the steam
whistles and the oafsmen and those
connected with the boats keep up. It
is positively deafening. In addition to
alLthese bridges and boats, there is an
other mode of crossing the Thames. It
is the tunnel, two miles below London
bridge. This stupendous work extends
beneath the bed of the river, and con-
meets Wrapping on the left bank with
Redriff on the right. It consists of two
arched passages, one thousand two hun
dred feet long, fourteen feet wide, and
sixteen feet high, all below the bed of
the river. Whoever walks or rides
through the tunnel goes under the River
Thames, with ships and fishes swimming
over his head.

4 REMTvERArfHE PAssAgE.


The Hartford Cottrayat says: 1T is
not often that the records of our pro-
bate courts contain so much of ro-
nance and of historical interest as was
found in the court at Dedham, Mass, a
Jew days since in the settlement of the
estate of Robert Roberts, of Medfeld.
The father of the deceased was captain
of an American trading vessel, which,
during the French revolution of 1907
the bloody days of Robespierre-stop-
ped at French port. While there a
rich Frenchman, desirous of escaping
threatening danger, engaged passage
with Captain Roberts for America, and
placed the sum of 100000 in gold in
the cabin. Before the day of departure,
however, the unfortunate man was cut
off as to his head by the guillotine.
The vessel left without the intended
refugee, but with his money, and on
reaching Boston, Captain Roberts took
the liberty of investing the sum in the
Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance
Company, using the income as his own,
and leaving it to his son. Upon the
death of the latter a number of claim
ants appeared, but the court has de-
cided that Mr.. Roberts heirs are the
rightful owners"
