A Monster with Il Sword.

Capt. d. ID. Thurlow, Of the fishing
schooner G.. +. Brown, sighting a school
of mackerel off Fire Island on Wednesday,
set out in small boat to capture them.
He got them into his net, and was haul
ing it in when an unusual commotion
showed that he had caught something
larger than mackerel. He thought that
he had shark to deal with, and watched
its movements anxiously, expecting that
it would break through his net and lib
crate the whole school of mackerel. AS
the Captain stood with boat-hook in hand,
the monster rushed up under the boat
and nearly capsized it, sent the Captain
sprawling on his back, and threw the
other men off their seats. When the
men regained their feet, they found that
their antagonist was a swordtish. He
had drive his sword clear through the
bottom of the boat, and was for mo-
ment held fast. But as the planks OF the
boat were not thick enough to hold him
long, the men lost no time in getting a
complicated series of half bitches around
him with stout line. Just as the last
moose was frightened the fish freed him
self and darted off into position for an
other charge. But as the grip of the
rope was tightened with every move
ment, he was at the mercy of his cap
tons. The fishermen stopped the hole III
the boat and pulled for the schooner,
landing their captive safely on deck, and
brought him to Fulton Market. Yester.
day morning it was sent to Overton' S
restaurant, in Park Row. 1t is much
larger than those usually caught in New
York waters. The sword measures feet
7 inches, and the body, from the base of
the sword TO the tail, is over IL feet. 1t
weighed 800 pounds, net.-NeaO York

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
A Connecticut Farm.


A Connecticut correspondent writes:
The great success of our tobacco
farmers for a few years past leads SO
many into farming in these days that
1t seems as If Connecticut might really
become an agricultural state. But I
fear that too many who may try it will
learn there was more truth Ithan they
opine in the story told of Col. W., of
Danbury-braye soldier and true
gentleman. Having had farm willed
to him, the Colonel, backed by the
fortunes of two New York brothers,
made his the model farm of Fairfield
county. After having spent vast sums
OF money upon it, he one
day invited his brothers to inspect his
model farm. He showed them
ground that hadunder his management
increased its productien of hay from
half a ton to two tons per acre, the lot
that now produced mammoth squashes
which was once a swamp, his apple
orchard, pear and cherry trees, the gar
den that produced beets that took the
prize at the county fair, etc., etc. After
they had made tour of the whole farm,
one of the delighted brothers exclaimed:
swell, brother, we are much pleased
at what you show us, but now that the
farm is such a success, don't you think
it about time that it should begin to
support itseif2" Support ITSELF" said
the Colonel, ''who ever heard of such a
thing? That shows how much you
New Workers know about farming"

A Sea-Serpent in Conflict With a
Whale.
From the Liyernofa f,our,ar

From the Liverpool Courier
The Zanzibar correspondent of the
Western Morning News, writing under
date of October 20, says: .sThe bark
Pauline has arrived at Zanzibar. with
coal for Her Majesty 8 ships. When off
Cape st. Rogue, South America, asigh
was presented that made the crew
aghast- nothing less than a great sea-
serpent engaged in conflict with q
whale. It had wound itself twice round
the whale, and was twirIing with ire
mendous velocity, lashing the water in
to foam. The noise could be distinctly
heard on board, and after battling for
some time, they both disappeared.
The serpent's length can be imagined.
It had two coils around q full-sized
sperm whale, with thirty feet clear at
each end. They saw it twice afterward.
Once it came very close to the vessel
and raised itself about sixty feet out of
the water, as if about to attack them.
[ have questioned men and officers, try
ing to find any discrepancy between
their statements, but am convert to
the belief that it was seen" Another
naval officer writes to the Western Morn
ing News to precisely the same effect:
and the officers of Her Maiesty's ships
on the station are said to be convinced
of the truth of the story.

How Long to Milk Cows.

Some COWS settle this question for
their owners, and such, unless they are
line, large animals, and calf raising is
the chief use of tie COW, should be fat
ted and killed at four or five years old
or sold. AS general rule, it is poor
cow that does not need to be dried off
before calvlng. AS to how little milk
pays for the trouble of milking, that
depends upon the number of COWS, and
the amount required for family use or
for sale. If the milk is worth four or
five cents quart, it will pay to milk ev-
cry cow that will average two quarts q
day; if less than that quantity is obtain
ed, 1 would advise to sell off the cow.
The practice of half-feeding dry cows
is poor syntem. ALI cows that ara
worth keeping should be vol kept: and
any animal with young should be as
well fed as when giving milk, though
the food need not be SO rich oleaginons
as when tho milk is set for cream or
used for butter-making. The rapid
taking on of flesh at this period is an
indication Of sound health.

PLAIN STEAMED PUDDING pint

PLAIN STEAMED PUDDING. One pint
OF butter milk Or sour milk; one-half
pint of sweet milk; one teaspoonful OF
salt, and one teaspoonful Of soda or
saleratus. Thicker with flour to a stiff
batter, aud raisins Or fruit; place in a
pudding dish and steam one hour.
Serve With sweet sauce.
CHICKEN CEEEsE 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
of the liquor they are boiledin to make
moist; mold it in any shape you choose,
and, when cold, turn out and cut into
slices. It is an excellent travelling
lunch.
MAIZE PUDDNa.-To two cups of
cold boiled hominy, add three cups of
chopped apples. the juice of two lem
ons, one-third of cup of sugar, and
two-thirds of cup OF Zante currants.
Mix very thoroughly, being sure not to
have any Jumps of cold hominy. Bake
one hour or more in a moderate oven
Or until of light Serve cold.
Coop PAsrRY.-To 7 tablespoonfuls
of -four and one teaspoonful salt, rub
flour and lard thoroughly together; add
enough ice cold water to make a stiff
paste; catch this lightly together with a
fork; -four the pasteboard well; take
enough Of the paste for pie, and roll
it out quickly and gently. On the top
crust drop thickly little pieces of but
ter.
STEwED EEns.-Eels from the salt
water are excellent when stewed right.
Gut the fish into two inch pieces, and
stew as you would piece of beef or
veal, adding however, some onion,
where liked. It must be cooked
thoroughly.
OLD BISCUIT AND DRY BREAD.
frying your meat have three or four
spoonsful of gravy in your skillet. Out
your bread in small pieces, pace in the
skillet. pepper to taste, pour sufficient
boiling water over the bread to moisten
it; let it simmer till dry, stirring all the
time. This is real good breakfast
dish, is easily served, and saves what
otherwise might have been wasted.
GRAVY FOR ROAST BEEF.-When your
joint is "done to turn" dish it and
place it before the fire; then carefully
remove the fat from the dripping pan
and pour your gravy into the dish, not
over the meat, as is the custom of in
experienced cooks, who, moreover, not
content with this, ruthlessly drown it
with a cupful of boiling water or highly
favored made gravy. This is vulgar
error, for there is always a sufficient
quantity of natural gravy in good meat
to render the use of foreign sauces
superfuous.

Sentimental Tea-Set.
From the Providence ] ournal, ,


The latest fashion in China is some
thing entirely unique, and needs a little
explanation for the uninitiated. A lady
announces her intention of getting up
Sentimental tea-set." This means that
she desires each of her friends to pre-
sent her with cup and saucer, whose
size, quality and costliness are left to
the tastes aud generosity of the donor
When a sufficient number has been
presented the mondescript collection
is christened as q sentimental tea set.
The lady is then in duty bound to give
tea party to her friends, in which
the cheering weed is served in the mot.
ley china, gathered together in this po-
lite way Of putting ones friends under
contributions. OF course the ladies vie
with each other in seeing who can col
lect the greatest number of offerings,
and the gentlemen are warmly well
coined who come bearing in
their hands costly cups of delicate
Sevres, or the petit creations of Orien-
tai tastes. We know of q lady in q
neighboring city who numbers twelve
of these oddities, and she has but just
begun her collection. Her ea-service
thus far ranges from a tiny cup and
saucer hundred years oil
to an Offering large enough
for q bowl The intermediate
range includes a ridiculous variety
in form, size and material. Great was
the sport at the first tea drink, while
the unique display afforded an abun-
dant subject for conversation. We are
told by those in authority that the
fashion promised to be quite universal
this winter, aid we are sure it will be
provocative of endless fun and perhaps
just little rivalry, for will not a
womaa's attractive powers be measured
by the number of these fragile offer
ings she receives from her friends ?
What resurrection of odd tea cups and
saucers from long occupied hiding
places will take place, and what search
there will be in the china shops for
specimens rich and rare!
