! MIRTH AT MEAL-TIME.-Everybody
should plan to have pleasant conversation
ut the table just as they have good food.
A little story telling-it may be of humor-
ours things, anecdotes, etc..-wili often
stimulate the joyous elements of the mind
and cause it to act vigorously and health
fully. Try and avoid going to the table
all tired out. Let all troublesome topics
be avoided. Let aches, pains and funerals
not be introduced. Don't scold domestics.
Don't discipline children. Think and say
something pleasant. Cultivate mirth, and
laugh when anything witty is said. If
possible, never eat alone. Invite a friend
of whom you are fond, and try and have a
good time. Friendship and friendly inter-
course at the table promotes the flow of
animal spirits and aids digestion. Think
OF a sulky churl munching his meal in a
logged temper. He will become dyspepic.
Never bring a corroding growl or COM
plant to the table. Is the pudding too
salt? Was the bread burnt? Do not
mention i~t-especially at the table. Let
that pass, though you need not eat that
which may not be ~palatable or healthy,
but politely decline it. He who brings
the most happiness to the table is the best
tizen.-PhrenoloGical Journal.

USEFUL INFoRMATIoN.-Keep tea in
close chest or canister.
Keep bread and cake in a tin box OF
stone jar.
A barrel contains 40 gallons, or 9,24O
cubic inches.
Keep coffee by itself, as its odor effects
other articles.
September and October butter is the
best for winter use.
The United States standard gallon
measures 231 cubic inches.
: Cranberries will keep all winter in a
f1rkin Of water in a cellar.
Oranges and lemons keep best wrapped
in soft paper, and, if possible, laid in a
drawer.

A GREAT MISTAKE OFTEN MADE
Boys and young men often start out in life
with the idea that ones success depends
on sharpness and chicanery. They imagine
if a man is able to "get the best of a bar
gain, - no matter by what deceit and mean
ness he carries his point, that his prosperi-
ty is assured.
This is a great mistake. Enduring pros
perity cannot be founded Oh cunning and
dishonesty. The tricky and deceitful man
is sure to fall a victim, soon or late, to the
influences which are forever working
against him. His house is built Upon the
sand, and It's foundations will be certain
to give way.
Young people cannot give these truths
too much weight. The future of that
young man is safe, who eschews every
phase of double dealing and dishonesty,
and lays the foundation of his career in the
enduring principles of everlasting truth.

KISS PUDDING.-Boil one quart OF milk;
rub into it sufficient cold milk to make a
paste of four tablespoonful of corn starch,
add to this the yolks of five eggs with a
tea-cup half full OF crushed sugar. When
the milk boils, pour it in this mixture,
stir we'll and return it to the boiler and
let it remain until it begins to thicken,
stirring constantly. Butter a dish and
pour it in and set it in a warm oven until
the whites are beaten to a stiff froth; flavor
with lemon Or almond; whip into the
whites five tablespoonful OF crushed SUI
gar; lay this over the pudding, sprinkle
with sugar; set in the stove until a light
brown. May be eaten cold with or with
out cream sauce.

How TO HAVE GOOD. EGas.-There is
a vast difference in the flavor of eggs.
Hens fed on clean sound grain, and kept
on a clean grass run, give much finer
to stable and manure heaps, and eat all
kinds of filthy food. Hens feeding on fish
and onions flavor their eggs accordingly,
the same as cows eating onions and cab
bage, or drinking offensive water, imparts
a bad taste to the milk and butter. The
richer the food the higher the color of the
eggs. Wheat and corn give eggs the best
color, while feeding on buckwheat makes
them colorless, rendering them unfit for
some confectionery purposes.

Mrs. Delma;ne was dead. Hortense la
been to visit her grave, and on her returl
sat, for a moment, on the gray, fanill i
rock to look out on II wiutry sea. H.
eyes were still wet: she had been weepiu!
over the dead.
Duke found her thus. and seating him
self beside her, drew her head down OH hi
shoulder.
"Hortense," he said, "I love you.
defy your contempt; 1 dare repeat it to you
1 love you!"
For a moment it seemed to him that she
chung to him, then cast him away and rose
t6her feet. Aud when she spoke her voice
was cold and unmoved: sou New Year
eve | am to be married to Eugene Ire
vanon."
Duke started up-seemed about to make
some impetuous speech, checked himself,
bowed, and left her.
And she threw herself down where he
had stood, moaning out, ooh! pride! bride!
it will be my death.''
- x eas sssrr
It is the last day Of the old year.
Duke Rucherford, a stern and gloomy
man, was to bid adieu to- his native land
or Il long season.
Almost MlcDnscfDusly, he turned his
steps toward slm line Hall. 1t rose up,
a gloomy massive pile, lighted only by the
freight at a single window. Tomorrow
it would blaze with lamps lit to shine upon
her bridal.
He paused to turn back, but s,methin g
led him on. Through the deserted garden,
up to the broadsdoor that stood ajar. All
was quiet. within. The guests were in
bed. Only some tardy servant was up-it
will do nc harm to look within.
He stepped to the door of the. room
where he had seen the light and pushed it
softly open. He saw no one. Still he
went on, and sat down in a great lou lging
chair before the warm blaze.
Some n rose up on the sofa at the
other end of the fire place. He started up,
and an apology IN his lips for Ills au-
dacious intrusion. She-it was Hortensv
clad, not bridal robes, but in sable vest
meuts, and destitute of ornament came
toward him, looked up into his eyes, and
let her white hand rest upon his shoulder.
"Duke, SAID she, her eyelids dropping,
her cheeks crimson, "have I offended past
forgivness?"
He did not answer. Only looked at her.
She went on persistently; II will let the
truth speak, Duke Rutherford, [ love you.
l have loved you all along, but pride came
nigh being my ruin. Thank God, at last
| have clean hands and a pure heart. L
have dismissed. Eugene Treyanon, and
true to myself, true to you, I cast aside all
womanly modesty and shame, and tell
you that I love you"
Hortense, is this thing true? Are you
done with that MANI"
"I have done with him, " she said. softly.
He gathered her in his arms. "And
whose are you now?"
"Yours, if you will take me-"
And Duke Rutherford did not sail for
Europe.

To PREVENT SMUT IN WHEAT.-Make
a strong brine and wash or wet the wheat
thoroughly; then drain, anil h'tore' the
wheat gets dry, sift on ashes, and stir
well, so that all the wheat may come in
contact with the dry ashes; or, in other
words, soak the wheat in strong brine and
then dry it with good strong ashes (alr-
slaked lime would probably do as well, or
better), and then it is really for sowing.
1t may be prepared any time when needed,
but should not stand over too long, as the
vitality of the seed might be injured. I
have seen it used fifteen:years in success
sion. and never knew it to fail to prevent
smut. I also think that the wheat grows
off better when prepared in this way, than
when sowed dry, or soaked in a solution of
blue-stone.-Cor. Southern Cultiuotor.

VALUE or COVERED MANuEE.-At
various times we have pointed out to our
readers the profits resulting from covering
manure instead Of allowing it TO get soak.
ed by the rains or dried by the sun, as is
generally the case. We have given tliis
advice from What we have actually seen.
When rough sheds have been build ito
cover the manufe-heap the crops fortified
ny this pile have increased in productive
ness sufficient to pay for the shed covering
the first year. We never have seen any
exact figures of the proportionate value of
covered and uncovered manures, that we
remember. until the following, which we
find by. Lord kineaid, a Scotch landowner
and farmer. They present the best state
ment possible, we think, of the advant-
ages of the plan.
-Four acres of good soil were measured,
two of them were MANFRED with ordinary
barnyard manure and two with an equal
quantity of manure from the covered shed.
The whole was planted with potatoes. The
products of e .ch acre was as follows:
Potatoes treaeed with barnyard manure:
One acre produced 272 bushels.
One acre produced 292 bushels.
Potatoes MANFRED from covered sheds:
One acre produced 442 bushels.
One acre produced AL bushels.
The next year the land was sown with
wheat, when the crop was as follows:
Wheat on land treated with barnyard
manure:
One acre produced Al bushels, %1spounds,
of 81 pounds per;bushel.
One acre produced ~ bushels, SO pound,
of 81 pounds per bushel.
Wheat on land MANFRED from covered
sheds:
One acre produced IS bushels, S pounds,
of 81 pounds per bushel.
One acre produced So bushels, Al pound,
of 81 pounds per bushel.
The straw also yielded one-third more
upon the land fertilized with the mrnure
from the covered shed than upon til.lG to
which the ordinary manure::was applied

EAR MARKS OF BUTTER COws.-At
recent meetings of dairymen's associa-
lions, in the Eastern States, experienced
dairymen said they attached much import
ance tolthe color:of the inside of the ear of
a COW as a test of her butter producing
ability. A rich yellow color on the inside
Of the ear, n speaker said, he had never
known to fail as a sign Of a good butter
cow, one that would give him rich milk.
DR.. Sturtevant regards the color of the
ear a good guide, but calls attention to the
necessity, when observing, for clearing
away the secretions which may have accu-
mulated on the skin, and which may be
darker than the skin itself.
