T HIsfavorite spring dish may be made
wholesome or poisonous, inviting or dis
gusting, according TO the skill of the
cook.
To make it as bad as possible, cut the
ham thin, don't take out much of the
salt, fry it very brown; take it out of the
frying pan and drop in the eggs. The
pan must be smoking hot, and well COW
cred with a brown substance. Cook the
eggs until the yolks are hard and the
whites of a dirty brown color, well
crisped and frizzled. Place the eggs
around the ham on a dish and pour some
of the half-burned fat over all. Then
eat as much as you can, and as fast as
you can, and it will not be the fault of
this recipe if you do not feel uncomfort-
able. A regular course of ham and eggs
cooked in this way will insure any
amount of spring fever, biliousness, dys-
pepsia, etc.
To make a dish of ham and eggs as
good as possible, cut the ham nearly half
an inch thick, boil it in plenty of water
till barely cooked through, pour off the
water and put the pan in a place just hot
enough to brown the fat part of the ham
slightly, but not hot enough to make
smoke, or to brown the lean meat much.
When this is finished remove the frying
pan from the fire, take up the ham, pour
off the fat into cup, and wipe the pan
till it shines like mirror, without sin
gle speck to mar the polish. Then put
in spoonful of the clear part of the
fat, break in the eggs, and set the pan in
a place scarcely hotter than boiling
water; cover it, and let the eggs cook as
slowly as possible for four or five min
utes, taking them up as soon as they can
be lifted out. Place them around the
ham, and do not pour any of the fat on
the dish. Eat with mashed potatoes

Remedy for Lockjaw-The follow
ing remedy, simple as it IS, is said to
have saved thousands from death by
lockjaw: Smoke the wound or bruise
with the smoke of wool. Twenty min

Ohio Farmer.
~fhe shell of an egg is porous and the
oxygen of the air goes through the shell
and keeps up kind of respiration. An
egg soon becomes stale in bad air or in
dry air charged with carbonic acid.
Eggs may be dried and made to retain
their goodness for a long time; or the
shell may be vanished, which excludes
the air, and then if kept in moderate
temperature they may be kept good for
years. French poultry-raisers are very
successful and ship millions of eggs to
England annually. Fresh eggs are more
transparent at the center, old ones at the
top. Very old ones are not transparent
in either place. In water in which one
tenth of salt has been dissolved good
eggs sink and Indifferent ones SWIM
Bad eggs float in pure water.

had charge of the survey party, permit
ted them TO approach, when they offered
him goat, some spices and yams, at the
same time informing him that in the
morning they would return and bring
other presents. The visit, from subse-
quent events, proved to be only to spy
out the number in the camp, and this
morning, prompt to their word, returned
those of the previous evening, but not
alone, as with them came nearly 2O2 men.
OF these some fifty or sixty engaged the
Lieutenant in conversation, whilst the
remainder, under pretense of selling pro-
visions, etc, to the balance of the pc rty,
freely intermixed with them. The
coolies were getting ready for a
move, when some of them noticed
that the villagers were armed with
daos, or large knives, and called
the Lieutenant's attention thereto. He
refused to attach any importance to this
fact, believing that it was merely Gus
tom among the Nagas. These Naga saw
ages noticed the slightest move in their
favor, and managed to engage the at
tention of the commanding officer and
disarm the sentry at one and the same
time. This they effected by the simple
request from one of their number to the
Lieutenant to be shown the rifle which
the sentry carried. The weapon was
taken from the sentry and handed to one
savage, whilst a second offered a gong to
the officer, who took it, and, not think
ing it of moment, gave it smart blow.
The other savages had in the meantime,
as though by preconcertcd arrangement,
become ineXtricably mixed up with the
survey party. Now came forth the fear
full treachery of the savage, for with the
sound of the gong, one of the two saw
ages near Holcombe struck him blow
on the neck with his dao, and, repeating
it a second time, felled him to the earth.
As the officer reeled and fell his assail-
ant, who was doubtless a leader of the
tribe, shouted "Mardal, Mari :" C"kill,
strike'). AS the words left his mouth
each Naga, who, it appears, had chosen
his victim, dealt with him in a similar and
those who fortunately were not on the
spot, and dire confusion for the time
reigned supreme. Capt Badgely sought
refuge in his tent, but was followed
and severely wounded. Cut in the
thigh, he jumped through the back
of his tent, which was luckily open,
then stumbled and fell. Immediately
springing up, he found it was all over,
and that some seventy or eighty men lay
dead and as many more wounded. A
slight delay, and the unwounded drew
themselves together, and by their fire
made the cowardly assailants fly. The
baggage was now, with the ammunition,
got together and secured, and within
two hours after the bloody event the
unwounded, bearing with them the
wounded, began a retreat. The Nagas
seeing this kept up harassing pursuit
for some miles, and made a second de-
termined attack upon the arrival of the
little party at a small stream known as
the Dill River, and were quickly re-
pulsed. On tine second night of their
retreat the party passed several Naga
villages, and although invited to remain,
every pledge of friendship having been
given, no stop was made. Soon the north
eastern boundary of British India was
reached, and on the evening of the 5th
| the party was safe.

The Massacre Of a Surveying Party II
India.

THE Calcutta correspondent of the New
York World gives the following particu-
lars of the cold -blooded murder in Feb
ruary last of an English surveying party
in India:
Early last December an English
Government survey and exploring
party, consisting of Lieut.. Holcombe,
Capt. Badgely and Mr.. Channel,
of the Royal Typographical Survey,
vey, left for the eastern frontier of India
A guard of forty native soldiers of the
Forty fourth Regiment and some twenty
members of the Sylhet frontier police
force went with them, while about $50
coolies were taken to look after the bag
gage. This made IA total of 2l3 souls in
all. The party, soon after starting, pro-
ceeded from Seebsaugor, a small hamlet
about 600 miles from Calcutta, and en-
tered what is Familiarity known the
Naga Hills, through the valley of the
Dikhoo, branch of the Brahmapootra
River. Their purpose-the survey of
the district from the Dikhoo toward
miles-was made known to the inhabit-
ants by means of proclamations. After
"A slight delay the exploring party began
their work, meeting with no opposition
from the villagers, though the Nagas
have the reputation of being about as
bloodthirsty savages as could be met
with anywhere in India. The fact of the
party not being opposed by these Nagas
threw them off their guard, which was
just what the Nagas wanted, AS the Sc
quel shows.
On the 1st of the current month the
party had arrived and halted at a place
called Soonos, which is about four
marches south of Joypore, in the Luck
impore district. Leaving this village, the
party encamped late that afternoon just
beyond what is known as the Nabaug
village through which they had to pass.
Things went along nicely till just after
nightfall, when some seven or eight vii
layers came bearing torches, and, as they
said, presents. Lieut.. Holcombc, who

ParasOls and Sun Umbrellas.
THE most stylish parasols for the &C

THE most stylish parasols for the COM
ing summer are those of black gros grain
edged with a fall of black thread lace.
The gros grain is of rich, heavy quality,
the lining is of thin white, black or gray
silk, and the lace may be finest Chantilly y
or the more inexpensive French imita-
tiOns. The handles are either light or
dark bamboo OF else sticks of ebony, and
they have ornamental mounting of nickel
or silver cut in medieval designs. These
parasOls measure only eighteen inches
down the gore, and are considered far
more dressy than the large, full-siZed
sun umbrella. Trimmed with French
lace they cost from So upward. Many
ladies buy the plain umbrella and use
their own fine lace for trimming A
chain of nickle or silver is added to the
handle, and this is passed over the wrist
instead of being strung to the belt in
chatelaine fashion. These black para
soils with lace trimming are considered
especially stylish with black silk suits.
Acother novelty is the cover of ecru lace
for the parasol to correspond with the
lace to be used for summer ovcrdrcsses.
This lace is imported in round and square
meshes, and ladies order their parasols
% match their costumes, choose foun-
dation of silk like their skirts, such as
brown, blue, green or black, and lace of
the same design as tnat used Tor the
basque and tablicr. These cost from
Sc 80 up 20 S12.
AS sun umbrellas are no longer the
first choice they are very much reduced
in price. Small umbrellas of fine twilled
silk, with carnelian, agate or bone
handles, or else natural sticks, are sold
as low as $3. 10; these measure only TWEEN
ty inches down the gore; the more popu-
lar size measures twenty-five inches and
costs $3.50 and upward. Those with
paragon frames and pearl handles,
mounted with blue, green, black or brown
twilled silk, cost from $3.50 up. Choice

ed with sterling silver or with ivory, cot

Corn and Corn Culture.

AN Iowa Fails (lOWa) correspondent
writes to the Farm and Garden" of the
Chicago Tribune for an essay on "COrn
and Corn Culture" and is answered as
follows:
You are very right in saying that corn
is the great crop of the West. Grass,
however, should be the primary crop of
any rich agricultural lcountry-must some
day be so in the West-for grass is the
prime integer either in keeping up the
fertility of farms OF in renovating them
when worn.
Grass and corn are the only two crops
Of the prairie-region of the West that
ever ought to be exported, and these
never in any other shape tnan horses and
mules, fat cattle, swine, and lambs, and
mutton sheep, and wool. You may go
the world over in the temperate regions
and these are the food producing ones
and where you find a country rich in
stock you find prosperous farmers. If
stock is neglected and farmers depend
| upon the expectation of grain they in
variably, sooner or later, find their lands
| impoverished and themselves in debt.
Corn may be prOfitably grown any
where in the West where the soil is rich
in humus and the alkaloids and where
the temperature for at least one month
| in summer rises to at least seventy degs.
| Fahrenheit, and where there is no frost
| for at least four months during the grow
| ing season. Bousingualt, from observa-
| tions made and data furnished, arrived
| at the conclusion that 1.-THE number of
| days that elapse between the commence
| ment of vegetation and the period of
| Iipeness is by SO much the greater as the
mean temperature is lower" In support
| ing this conclusion he states that in
| South America maize comes to maturity
in the course of three months, say nine
| ty-two days-the mean temperature being
between eighty-One and eighty-two degs.
| Fahrenheit; but upon the elevated plains
of Santa Fe maize will require six months
to come to maturity, say 1873 days, and
there the mean temperature is fifty-nine
degs. Fahrenheit" He further says:
| In examining the question which now
engages us we first inquire what time
| elapses between the sprouting of the
plant and its maturity; and we deter
mine the temperature of the interval
which separates these two extreme epochs
in vegetable life"
| While the first proposition is true upon
| general principles, this acute observer
seems to have jumped at conclusions
which are not borne out by facts.
| The misnamed Irish potato, for in
stance, to reach the best development,
requires that the soil be cool and moist,
and that the air and soil be not subject
| to violent extremes Softemperature. of 1t is
extremely sensitive to cold approaching
to frost-much more so than Indian
| corn-and it will not stand the continued
action of extreme heat; and if, in combi-
nation with extreme heat, it get undue
moisture, it is fatal to the crop. On the
other hand, Indian corn is entirely at
home in soil capable of being heated
to high degree, if only it be capable OF
sustaining itself under extreme droughts,

HERBALIsTIC REMEDIEs.-In former
days, if a member of the household be-
came indisposed, the family head, under
instructions from the gray-haired dame,
went to the forest or the field to gather
herbs or berries, from which werequick-
ly made invigorating extracts, which ere
many days brought the patient safely
around, and saw the family gathering
once more without missing member.
How is it now? The slightest indisposi-
ton brings the " family physician" with
his handsome carriage. He feels the
pulse, examines the tongue, looks very
grave, writes few lines of fhieroglyphics,
charges big fee, and leaves, only to re-
turn the next day and find his patient
mercurialized sufficiently to be really
sick. A week or two of attendance fol

wealthy physicians" Compare the
