The way to clean coral is first to soak
it i'm soda and water for some hours. Then
make lather of soap, and with soft
hair brush rub the coralslightly, letting
the brush enter all the interstices. Pour
off the water, and replenish it with clean
constantly, and then let the coral dry in
the sun.
Chicken Cheese.-Boil two chickens
till tender; take out all the bones and chop
the meat fine; season to taste with salt,
pepper and butter; pour in enough liquor
they are boiled in to make moist. Mold it
in any shape you choose, and when cold
turn out and cut in slices. 1t is an excel
lent travelling lunch
strawberry jam and marmalade are
made by bruising strawberries and adding
their weight in sugar; stir thoroughly,
and boil twenty minutes over slow fire,
Swimming off the scum as it rises. When
cold tie down with brandy papers. To
some tastes this jam is improved by adding
one-half pint of currant juice to. every
pound of fruit, and one and one-fourth
pounds of sugar Made this last way six
quarts of strawberries will make twelve
pounds OF jam.
Cherry Ja1n.-To every pound of fruit,
weighed before stoning, allow one-half
pound of sugar; to every six pounds
of fruit allow one pint of red currant
juice, and to every pint OF currant juice
one pound of sugar. Mode-stone the
cherries first weighed and boil them till
the Juice is absorbed, then add the sugar,
we'll crushed, then the crlrrant juice and
the extra pound Of sugar to every pint OF
the latter. Boil altogether till it jellies,
which will be in twenty or thirty minutes;
skim well and stir constantly, and few
minutes before it is done add some OF the
cherry kernels; these impart a delicious
flavor to the jam. This is very fine.
Beef Jelly .Meat.-An excellent and
cheap dish. Take one or two shanks of
beef, we'll broken up by the butcher. Put
to boil in water enough to cover them
Skim off the foam that rises. Boil till the
meat drops from the bones and the mus
cles are dissolved, and until there is bare
ly enough water to keep the meat from
burning Then take large dish or pan,
and put into it all the meat that can be
SKINNED out of the broth, breaking it up
into small pieces. Sprinkle salt and pep
per over it to taste. Allow the broth that
is left in the pot to stand on the fire till the
grease rises to the surface; then skim it
off, and pour the broth over the meat in
the pan. When cold, it will be in solid
Jelly. Then slice thin and serve with any
relish desired. 1t is good plan to make
this meat on ironing day, as it requires
nearly all day to boil it, and the same
fire serves the purpose. 1t is very
wholesome, very delicious and very cheap
meat

Observations upon the spots on the
floor of the crater Plato, on the moons
surface, now show that decided changes
have taken place Judged by the record OF
previous investigations-the streaks and
colors of the floor presenting unquestion-
able evidence in this respect. The
changes in the direction and luminosity
of the streaks detected are, it is said, of
such a character that they cannot be re-
ferred to changes of illumination, but de
pend, rather, upon some agency connected
with the condition of the moon itself The
color of the floor has been found to vary
as the sun ascends in the lunar heavens,
being darkest with the greatest solar alti-
tude.

In many parts of the Southern States
men have so far conquered their antipathy
toward alligators as to tame them and
keep them in confinement. In this semi
domestic state the beast is said to exhibit
more intelligence than would be expected
from its appearance. An alligator was
once the cause of curious case being
tried at New Orleans. A young lady
brought an action against neighbor for
keeping an alligator in his yard, asserting
that the beast was of extraordinary size
and ferocity, that she had frequently had
occasion to enter his premises, and that,
whenever compelled to do so, she was in
fear OF her life. The defendant, who had
been arrested, being required to plead,
stated that he kept the animal as kind of
housedog or night-watchman, and that
unless provoked, it was quite a peaceable
reptile; furthermore, that the plaintiff had
been in the habit of teasing the alligator,
and exciting his anger by tickling him in
the ribs with long pole, throwing brick
bats at him, and on one occasion went so
fast as to scar his back with ared-hot iron.
Upon this the defendant was discharged,
while the lady was bound over to keep the
peace toward the alligator and its owner

derful fighting bird. Its venom and spleen
seem to be directed especially against the

bird alights on the back of the dog and
screams and picks at the poor dog, who
does not seem to understand how to repel
such an attack. 1t is amusing to see how
some of the-cowardly ours will tuck their
tails between their legs and beat a hasty
retreat, while some of the more coura

A IIeethen Temple.

Juggernaut, says the Pail MaH Ga
zette, seems to be in a bad way in
India owing TO the dilapidatiOn of
bis pagoda at PoOree. An immense
block Of stone fell the other day from
the central dome Of the temple 1t is
fortunate that no one was killed. for
the stone, it is stated, is ten feet long,
five broad, and four in depth, and be-
longs to the inner cornice Of the tenn
pie. The damage is imperceptibIe
to the eye, owing to the intense dark
ness in the interior Of the edi6ce, bat
the fall Of the stone is serious mat
ter for Juggernaut for this reason:
there Is, it seems, prophecy that
when the first stone is unfastened the
temple shall not stand. The repairs,
1t Is estimated by the Oriaks, will
take at least fourteen years TO COM
plete, and during all this time no
public worship or festival in Pooree
is allowable 1t is, however. not
surprising that the temble is little
out Of repair. for it was built by Ra-
jah Anangabhims Devs, of Orissa,
in the middle of the twelfth century,
and during the last seven hundred
years not trowel has been laid up
on it for the purpose Of repair. The
dome is composed Of immense blocks
of stone, not kept together by ce-
ment or mortar Of any kind, but
made fast by an elaborate process of
dovetsiling the slabs being arrsng-
ed in horizontal layers narrowing to-
ward the end, covered by huge
head piece carved and ornamented.

Allowing children to Play on sunday
Iftbe NAV of little children

If the play of little children is in
itself innocent, and not Of a nature to
disturb others0 mean seriously, for
some people are much too easily dis
turbed, why not let them play on
the Sabbath? But the example, says
one. The example, 1t is just what
it should be. 1t is an example Of
'-sweet reasonables," worthy Of
worldly buying and selling, or of
imitation 1t is hot an example OF
reveling, or unseemly rioting. So
far from conflicting with the grand
old fundamental rule of love 10 God
and ones neighbOr, it may and
should be made a means of promo
ting both. The plays of the chill
dren are their best opportunities OF
OF learning the Golden rule; while,

Bran and Corn Meal for Cow,

all our best dairymen that bran
greatly promotes the milk seeretions

This mixture seems to promote both
quantity and quality of milk. From
several sources we hear that buck
wheat bran is a great producer Of

bly, among our Chester county dairy

and bras as with pure corn meal and

corn cob is so very small that the re-
suit will have to be explained on the

to promote digestion by distending
the stomach.
The presence Of bulky material
being necessary to promote disten-
sion and ill up the stomach Of ru-
minating animals, before digestion
can be accomplished, is frequently
lost sight of. Hungarian grass is al
so found for. .milch cows to be rather
superior to the ordinary run of hay.
