lowing, for the benefit Of our readers, from Mr..
Beecher's novel " Norwood, page 81
" II would seem as IT, while her whole life

precious secret BY finging over il vines and

How to Dry Pumpkins.

Cut the pumpkins through laterally,
clean the inside; then continue to cut, in
the direction as before, rings about an inch
thick. Cut off the rnd and hang the rings
on pole in the sun, or warm room to dry.
When dried it will keep year. 1t is to
be boiled in plenty of water until tender,
then SKINNED out and prepared for pies
the same rs undried pumpkins.
Another way: Take the ripe pumpkins,
pare, cut into small pieces. stew soft, strain
through colander, as if for making pies.
Spread this pulp on plates, in layers not
quite an inch thick; dry it in stove oven,
which should be kept at SO low tempera-
turo as not to scorch it. In about day
it will become dry and crisp. The sheets
thus made can be slowed in dry place,
and they are always ready for use for pies
and sauces. The quick drying after cooking
prevents any portion from slightly souring,
as is nearly always the case when the un.
cooked pieces are dried, the flavor is much
better preserved, and the after cooking is
saved. 70 use Soak pieces over night in
little milk, and they will return to
nice pulp as delicious as the fresh pump
kin.

Profits of Sheen.

A correspondent of the Practical Farmer,
residing within twenty five miles of Phia-
delphia, states that one of his most certain
and reliable sources of profitslfrom year to
year is keeping sheep. When first began
farming, twenty years ago, he writes, de-
pended entirely on Southdowns. They
have always proved with me prolific breed
ers, capital nurses, hardy and good feeders,
and my Southdown mutton ranks in the
market with ''gilt-edge" butter. l inform
my regular customers when am going to
have fine leg or loin of pure Southdown,
and they go off fast at three to five cents
above the market price. in fact, South
down mutton is the best mutton in the
world.
Equality of meat was the only deside-
ratum, it would make no change, but as
coarser woods now bring the highest price,
and as perhaps l gain IA little in weight,
(of which am not altogether certain, but
at least do not lose any, have made one
cross on my flock of 100 ewes with the
Cotswold The best results and the finest
carcass have resulted where the South
down buck was used on the Cotswold eve.
do not want any finer sheep than this
makes, and try to keep them for my pur-
poses, one-half Southdown and one-half
Cotswold. What lambs have to spare
are sold in advance to your butcher about
eight dollars per head. raise roots, which
l consider indispensable in the sheep bust
ness, and with good shelter and good man.
agement, have the lambs in the market
in March and April. consider the roots
make good substitute for early pasture.
1t promotes the flow of milk in the ewes,
keeps them in good heart and with fine
appetites. have always followed the adj
vice in your paper, to keep all my animals
healthy and thriving. If they once 20
down OF become situated, much of ones
feed is thrown away. Two-thirds of my
ewes usually have twins. With lambs at
eight dollars to nine dollars each and wool
at fifty cents per pound, your readers can
figure up my profits on 100 ewes.
will close with one remark: that with
out root crop of about 1000 bushels, /
would not keep sheep. Not that these are
all fed to the sheep, as cows and horses all
are benefited by them, but for sheep they
are indispensable.

How the Sultan Lives,

A gentleman who has been cruising in
the Mediterranean has written homo some
interesting experiences. Dating from Con-
stantinoplc, he says:
The civil list of the sultan is about e2,-
100000 Il year. All along the shores of
the Bosphorus vast palaces and elaborate
kiosks occur in succession at distance of
little more than mile apart. Some of
these buildings are finished in the most
costly style.
The daily dinner of the sultan.--hc al
ways dimes alone-consists of ninety -four
dishes, and ten other meals are prepared
in case it should be his fancy to partake
of them.
He has 800 horses, 700 wives, attended
and guarded by $50 eunuchs For this
enormous household 10000 oxen are year
iy slaughtered, and the purveyors are re-
CURED to furnish daily 200 sheep, 100
lambs or goats, ten calves, 200 hens, 200
pair of pulets, 100 pairs of pigeons. and
80 green geese. Between the proiligate
luxury of the establishment of the sover-
eign, and the miserable, poverty Of too
many Of lis subjects, the contrast is truly
melancholy.
The incomes OF the principal ministers
of the State are such as would grievously
shock the radical relormcrs of our own
country. The salary ofthc grand vizier is
$50 coo; Of the minister of finance, e15,-
600; of the minister of public works, Gil
coo and so in proportion for the other prin-
cipal ministers.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR SCARLET FEVER.
The San Francisco Chronicle says that
Robert Christie, Of the Protero, suggests a
remedy for the scarlet fever which he AYERS
has invariably proved successful. 1t is
very simple, and lies within the reach of
those whcse limited means preclude them
from employing the services Of physician
1t is this: Take an onion and cut it in
halves, cut out Il portion ofthe centre, and
into the cavity put spoonful of saffron ;
put the pieces together, then wrap in cloth
and bake in an oven until the onion is
cooked SO that the juice will run freely,
then squeeze out all the juice and give the
patient Il teusp0onful, at the same time rub
bling the chest and throat with goose grease
or rancid bacon, if there is any cough or
soreness in the throat. In short time the
fever will break out in an eruption all over
the body. All that is then necessary is to
keep the patient warm and protected from
drauSht, and recovery is certain.
Mr.. Christie says he has been employ
ing this remedy for many years, and never
knew it to fail when proper care was ia
ken Of the patient after its application
One family, in which there were five down
with the disease at one time, recently used
this simple remedy upon his telling them
Of it, and every one of the li!tle ones re-
covered in a short time.
