FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Oyster Omelet.- Whisk four eggs to
a stiff froth, then add by degrees one gill
of cream; beat them well together; season
the egg with pepper and salt to taste.
Have ready one dozen fine oysters; cut
them in half and pour the egg into pan
of hot butter and drop the oysters over it
as early as possible. Fry a light brown
and serve hot.
Breakfast Muffins.-A dainty substi-
tute for bread at breakfast or tea: Two
eggs well beaten, with one cupful of
sugar, and lump of butter the size of an
egg; to this add one pint OF milk, with
one teaspoonful of soda, one quart of flour
and two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar /;
bake in muffin rings on top of the range,
or in gem pans in a quick oven.
-Corn-fed hens do not lay in winter, for
the simple reason there isn't any albumen
material in the corn. When wheat is fed
there is fat enough in it to supply all that
is needed for the yolk and gluten enough
to make the white and lime enough to fur
nish the she'll; it does not thus seem diff
cult to understand why corn-fed hens
should not lay, as they do not, and why
wheatfed hens should lay, as they do
Ohio Farmer.
"A pdlCul uOIoC Nioh WIZ CPi-
zootic got hold of some onions, the other
day, and he was made so much better that
three quarts more were fed him, and he
entirely recovered. A Boston man has
cured his horses by following this pre-
scription: Give the horse five drops of
aconite, followed in two hours by five
drops of belladona; keep. him quiet, with
loose diet, and after the third day he will
be able to work.
I'm the growing of house-plants moth
ing is more important than the soil in
which they are planted. One should pay
no attention to those complicated prepare
lions which it would puzzle profession
al man to make. A compost for plants
wants age, like wine, to be good. All
that is needed are soda and manure. Leaf
mold from timbered lands is as good as
soda. Let these be turned over and over
for year until they are completely fined
down Use this for everything grown in
the house.-Detr05t Tribune.

Fattening Hogs.

No subject is of more vital interest to
the farmer, Just now, than this. Many are
alive to the importance of early feeding,
but there are many who still adhere to an
old custom, and, without regard to the
demands of the market, or present and
prospective val6es, think they must feed
till Christmas or New Years at all events.
Hence they are in no hurry to commence
the process of pork making in earnest,
and the very best of the season for this
purpose is past before they get their hogs
properly to work. Pork is high now,
and the indications are that it will be
lower before the season closes. Hogs are
comparatively scarce, and corn is plenty.
There is an unusual quantity of immatured
corn this fall, that will make pork fast
enough, but is unmarketable. Under
these circumstances farmers will be in
duced to feed late, in order to make the
most of the hogs they have, and, as con-
sequence, the earlier markets will be scant-
lily supplied. All other conditions being
equal, the farmer who gets his pork ready
for market first makes the most money,
for it is easier and cheaper to maintain a
fat hog il cold weather than to make one
fat. In conversation not long since with
an old hand at this business, he remarked
that III seasons when corn was ordinarily
plenty he preferred to sell by the first OF
December, even at less price than he
could get at New Years. He very rarely
found the difference in price to pay for
feeding month in cold weather.
To produce the most pork in the short
est time, warm, dry, clean pens and judg-
ment in feeding areas essential as album
dance of food. We have seen hogs fat
tened in mud-hole, and we'll fattened,
too, but such pork costs too much. Be-
sides the great waste of food, the fatten-
ing process is retarded by such unfavora-
BILE conditions, and if an account was kept
with the hog-pen and corn-crib the own
er would find his expenses overrunning the
profits. Corn is pre- eminently the food
for making pork, but it is, no doubt, fed
too exclusively in many cases. Feed some
less concentrated food with it-such as
cooked potatoes, turnips, etc. A constant
stuffing with corn alone induces fever
ish, constipated condition, and is no doubt
the cause of much of our measly and
otherwise diseased pork. Farmers who
depend upon pork for their years sup
ply of meat cannot be too careful in this
matter. Have healthy pork, made out
of clean food, or eat none at all.-Ohi0
Farmer.

The Protection of Children.


At last the man has appeared who has
humanitarianism enough to take active
measures for the rescue of little children
from the perils to which they are barbar-
ously subjected IN the tight-rope and ira
peze performances at the variety theaters
all over the country. That man is Bergh,
OF whom the cheap stock joke has been
that his humanity extended only to brutes.
Last Saturday, at the Tivoli Theater, New
York, just as the infant prodigy, Leo"
"a child six years OF age-was about to
be sent upon the stage to GO through his
"thrillingn performance on the tight
rope, Mr.. Bergh appeared on the scene
with couple of policemen, and the re-
puted father-who pockets the profits of
the child's engagements-was locked up,
while the latter was removed from the
theater, and, doubtless, will be placed in
charge of guardian by the court The
best feature of the whole affair, perhaps,
was that the audience attracted there to
witness the thrilling performance-the
thrilling part OF which consisted in the
chances of the child falling and meeting
a horrible death-instead of kissing, ap-
plauded Mr.. Bergh. The like barbarous
exhibitions are given in nearly every City
in the United States, and it is to be
trusted, now that Mr.. Bergh has taken the
initiative, those will be found everywhere
who in like manner Will interfere to put a
stop to them. There should be in every
State statute severely furnishing both the
parents and the managers who thus spec
ulate on the wanton imperiling of the
lives of children. But even without such
statutes the courts everywhere, in exer-
else of their general power as guardians of
minors, will, on application, interfere and
remove these children from the custody of
such unnatural protectors, and place them
in control of guardians answerable to the
court for their care of the little ones.-

Civilization i'm India.

"The natives of India" remarks the
Pail Mall Gazette, "show a remarkable
proficiency in acquiring the habits of civ
ilization, and in the art of adulteration
appear TO be making such rapid progress
that they will soon put even the British
trader to the blush. An ingenious prac-
tice is, it is stated, pow common among
the cloth sellers Of Jubbulpore Bales Of
English piece goods are carried to the
Oomtee rivulet and washed, with the OBJ
ject of thickening the texture of the cloth,
and thus getting much higher price than
that current for them as they arrive from
Manchester. The pieces are one by one
opened out at the rivers brink and washed
in the running water This takes off the
English sizing; they are next rerolled and
we'll beaten with wooden clubs, dipped
and beaten again and again, and so on for
hours; the threads then begin to swell and
thicl<en the cloth, so that the weaving ap-
pears close and tough. They are then re-
opened and partly dried, dipped into a
tub of well-boiled rice-water (such as is
used by dhobles for starching) and care
fully hung out TO dry. When dried each
piece is carefully refolded, pressed and
placed in the shop for sale. The change
the cloths undergo by this process is rep
resented as astonishing.' A coarse, long
cloth, worth say four annas yard, is
transformed to close-textured fabric
rivaling one of Horrocks' best. The
cloths SO improved are chiefly sent out to
villages and out-stations, where they are
readily sold as Manchester goods of the
stoutest and best quality"

seven ladies were seated, and they con-
trived to spread over the entire space.
Presently tired, pale and feeble looking
woman entered, and the ladies, glancing
at her, settled back and let her stand. The
only gentleman in the car, one of Boston's
best-known authors, moved by righteous
indignation, rose and said: Ladies, how
can you expect any gentleman to give you
seats in a Car when you treat one of your
own sex with such unfeeling cruelty 20
Then turning to the poor woman he said:
" Madam, my seat is at your service
