FARM AND HOME.

Mary Cake.-Two eggs well beaten,
.one-half cup butter, one and one-half
cups sugar, one cup sweet milk, one tea
spoonful soda, two of cream tartar, three
and one-half heaping cups sifted flour /;
this makes two loaves. Use lemon es
sence for favoring.
My experience is that corn stalks
are worth one dollar per acre to the land.
Pillow under for three years in succession
one part of field of clay ground, and
burn the stalks on the other; the third
year you can see the difference almost in
the row.-CSncSn7ats Gazette.
For hot slaw cut the cabbage fine and
in long pieces, but don't chop it-use a
thin, sharp knife, boil thirty minutes in
enough water to cover it, then drain it off,
season with one teaspoonful of flour stirred
up in one teacupful of strong vinegar, beat
one egg and put in one large tablespoon
full of sour cream, pepper and salt. This
is for two quarts of raw, cut cabbage.
With the increasing cost of fencing
material it becomes more Interesting
question to the farmer How can eco
nomically build new and repair old
fences? A Western man suggests the use
of sods, and writes: "In England and
Ireland they have the sod fence. have
seen it in this country occasionally, but |
think if our farmers knew its practical
merits we should see it oftener. Only dig
two bitches two feet apart, three feet wide
and two feet deep; throw the dirt from
bitches on the space between, beat it down
till it has some hardness, and give it
enough slant to prevent caving,' and you
have fence for lifetime. In most cases
here we need no turf or 'whin-bushes' as
they do, for in year the bank will be
covered by luxuriant growth of black
berry bushes, answering every purpose.
Even where timber is plenty we can make
this fence cheaper than almost any other"
Physiological Journal.
The idea entertained by Almost every
amateur flower grower that large amount
of earth is required for the health and
vigor of the plant is erroneous, and is
called by experienced florists over potting,
and is laden many times with serious re-
suits to plant life; for the soil in pots,
boxes, tubs, etc., does not have the action
of the elements to neutraliZe the acid or
equalize the chemical compounds that are
used up or generated to excess when thus
confined, and the soil often becomes sour
and sodden and necessitates the speedy
removal of the plant into fresh soil, to pre-
vent decay of the roots. Soil best adapted
to- nearly every plant grown in pots is
good sandy loan. Good garden soil that
has been enriched until it is soft and mel
low will answer every purpose; but, if
neither of these can be obtained, procure
leaf-mold from the woods, swamp-muck
and sand, equal parts, thoroughly mixed,
and this will make a most desirable COM
post. The addition of little lime will
destroy and prevent worms.-N. Y. Inde-
pendent.

Con.umptIon Can he Cured.

ScHBNcK's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic. Schenck's Mandrake Pills, are the only
medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consumption:
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will
occasion the death of the paient they lock up the
liver stop the circulation Of the blood, hemorrhage
follows, and in fact, they clog the action of the
very organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes OF
tw0-thrds of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of dull pain in the side consti-
patton. coated tongue, pain in the shoulder blade,
feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food
lying heavily ON the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and beching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from dlsor-
dered condition of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons affected, if they take one or two heavy
colds, and if the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged,
remaining torpid and inactive, and, almost before
they are aware, the lungs are a mass OF sores and
liberated, the result of which is death.
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain opium or anything calcu-
lated to check cough suddenly
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids
digestion and creates ravenOus appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, or the
symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills are required.

On the 18th of May last a registered
letter containing e10 English money was
put in the New York Postoffice for New
Lebanon, N. Y, and some six weeks af
terward the Postoff1ce Department Re
ceived a complaint of its non-delivery. A
careful investigation was made, and the
letter was traced into the hands of the
mail route agent, who declared that he had
put the package in the pouch for New
Lebanon, but the Postmaster at that place
declared he had never received the pack.

report the refusal of the Postmaster to re.
ceipt for the package had it been deliv-

it, was discharged, and the matter rested
until the Postmaster at Bristol, Pa, re-
ported a registered package for New Leb-
anon as having carelessly been sent to his
office. Inquiry revealed the fact that this
was the package that was lost last May.
1t is supposed that the pouch, after being
emptied at New Lebanon, was returned to
the New York office, and was stored away
with the reserved pouches until the time
1t was again put to use for the Bristol
mail, and that the registered letter in ques-
ton had lain in it during the whole
period. The Postmaster at New Lebanon
has been recommended for removal, for
negligence in failing to see that the pouch
was entirely emptied when he received it.

The strange Disease.

LIKE the thief at night, it steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes in
the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gOne Sensa-
ton at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. After awhile cough sets in, at first
dry, but after few months it is attended
with greenish-colored expectOration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not appear to afford any rest. After a
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil fOrebodings. There is
giddiness, sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costive, the skin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant, the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and
hiS -colored, depositing sediment after
standing. There is frequently splitting up
of the food, sometimes with a sour taste
and sometimes swedish taste. This is
frequently attended with palpitation of the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There is a feeling OF
great prostratiOn and weakness. All OF
these symptoms do not make their appear
ance at one time, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some of its varied
forms. 1t has been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, others for kidney dis
ease, etc., etc, but none of these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. 1t is found, however, that the
SHAKER EXTRACT OF Roofs (not patent
medicine), when prepared properly, will re-
move the disease in all its stages. Care
should be taken to procure a good article.

Mr.. Bergh's Character.

Cincinnati Gazette writes Mr.. Bergh's
interference IN behalf Of the boy Leo

his office. The little fellow was found
in a condition of suffering which is
almost narrowing, and which excited
even the sympathy of the officials who
made the arrest Mr., Bergh is in

yond all estimate. One of the pecu-
liar distinctive features in Mr.. Bergh's
character is that he is rich man, hav-
ing inherited large wealth. If it be
asked how many of our rich men de-
vote themselves to the relief of the
suffering, the reply is two. One is
James Lenox, the recluse philanthropist
and the other is the man who protects
suffering animals and suffering child
hood. Sometimes there may be seen
CANT build and of that general style
which indicates natures nobility. His
countenance shows culture, but it is
marked by that tender and sympathetic
expression which was often observed in
President Lincoln. When this man
is seen at court it is to call the strong
arm of the law to defend the suffering.
This is his sole mission. He has de-
voted himself to it, and success has
been of a transcendant character. Mr..
Bergh is the son of Christian Bergh,
forermly distinguished as aship-builder.
He has travelled much abroad, and has
studied the aspects of suffering on both
hemispheres 1t was Immediately

Frequently when looking around TO

oriental style, which draws attention
to the fact that the manufacture ant
trade in this kind of work of the OF
toman empire have greatly increased
for both home consumption and ex
port.
In the palmy days of the western
empire, Constantinople supplied Italy,
France and Germany with richly en-
broidered tablecloths and ecclesiastical
robes, and to-day Constantinople is the
principal centre of Turkish embroi-
deries in gold, silver and silk. All the
various kinds of embroidery that come
from Asia, Persia, India and China arc
Of the same character as those pro-
duced in the Ottoman empire, and in

and point de plume. L..-- ~.
-Yanina is the centre of an important
artistic industry, that of Greek and
Albanian costumes ornamented or COW
cred with loops and raised embroidery,
mingled with sprigs of coral, pearls
and crystal beads. An Albanian or
Greek lady's dress of the richest kind
is composed usually of a red petticeat
embroideredini palm leaves and other
designs, over which is worn another
petticoat or tunic of white satin en-
br6idered with gold thread. The vest
and jacket are still more richly orna-
mented with gold and silver filagree
and embroidered buttons, and embroi-
deries in gold, silver, silk, beads of
different colors, and loops Of pase-men-
terie, or braid of colored silk. Epirus,
Albania, Servia and Bosnia purchase
annually from Yanina some thousand
costumes for men, women or children.
An embroidered costume for a lady
brings there $500; one for man $3.50,
and one for child s125. Constan-
tinople sends to Egypt almost all the
embroideries in gold used there 1t
supplies tablecloths embroidered in
chain stitching in silk, white embroid-
cries the same on both sides, or double
faced, as it is termed in embroiderers'
language; embroidered handkerchiefs
of silk and linen, and vestments in
which coral, pearl, turquoise and crystal
beads are interworked with the en-
broidery. The number Of embroid-
erers employed in Constantinople alone
is estimated to be fully 10000. They
are mostly Armenian and Greek men
and women, and are paid by the
piece. -Ne,g York Sun.
