DR.. Holland writes as follows in
.Scribner's Monthly on the subject of
winter amusements:
1t is an easy thing to establish, either
in country or city neighborhoods. the
reading club. Twenty young men
and women of congenial tastes, habits,
and social belongings can easily meet in
one another's houses once during every
week through five or six months Of the
year. With a small fund they can buy
good books, and. over these. read aloud
by one and another of their number,
they can spend an hour and half most
pleasantly and profitably. They will
find in these books topics Of converse
ion for the remainder of the time they
spend together. If they can illuminate
the evening with music all the better.
Whatever accomplishments may be in
the possession of different members OF
the club may be drawn upon to e We
variety to the interest of the occasion.
This is entirely practicable everywhere.
Ii Is more profitable than amateur thea
tricals, and less exhaustive of time and
energy. Ii can be united with almost
any literary object. The Shakespeare
Club is moi oihing but a reading club
devoted to the study oe single author
and Shakespeare ma, well engage a club
for a single wi tier. - al club would
cultivate the art of good reading, which
Is one of the best and most useful of ali
accomplishments 1t would cultivate
thought, imagination, taste. In brief
the whole tendency Of the reading clut
is toward culture-the one thing, not.
withstanding our educational advan.
tages, the most deplorably lacking in the
average American man and woman.
The exercise may take a great many
forms which it is not necessary for US
even to suggest. Books may be read
original papers may be presented, must.
cal rehearsals may form a part of the
entertainment, products of art may be
exhibited, there may be dramatic and
conversational practice, and practice in
French and German. There is no limit
to the variety of exercises that may bs
profitably entered upon.

Conduction OF Heat by Buildina Ma
teridts.-rhe coefficient of cOuductiOn
for heat of various building materials
has lately been carefully investigated
10y Lang, who, in his studies. has en-
deayored to exclude tho influence of
ladiation, and has made measurements
10y means of the thermO-electric multi
plier. He finds that the stones cOnsid
cred by him are much hbett-rcOnductOrs
of heat when wet than when dry, aud
marble, sandstone, granite. &c, have
approximately the saine coefficienrs at
copauc ion, while bricks of all kinds
are much worse conductors than the
natural stones.

The Proper Time for Cutting Trees
An extensive inquiry has been Made in
Prussia into the effect upon the dura
bility of woods of the season at which
the trees are cut down. In general.
the wood felled when the sap is not
running has decided pr~eminence As
to its durability, strength, and density.
The heat given out III burning wood
felled in December and January is also,
according to these experiments, greater
than from woods cut in February and
March.

The Corn Market And Sun-Sp0ts.-
We have heretofore recorded the ef-
forts of ga wants to establish relation
between the recurrence of sD3ts on the
sun and the fluctuations of The pOtato-
disease. Mr.. Schuster, studying the
same series of phenomena, has pointed
out that the years of good vintage IN
Western Europe have occurred at
average intervals approximating to
eleven years, the average length of the
principal sun-spot period. Later, Prof.
Stanley Jones. +. r. s., has eI.dea-
vOr-d to prove that the price of corn
and the variations of the sun-spOts are
inseparably connected, A paper was
read by him pn the subject. a. the re
cent meeting of the British Associa-
ton. The data regarding the prices of
corn were taken from Prof: T.. L. RO-.
gers History of Agriculture and
Prices in England" in which Is given
the prices of commodities In all parts
of England between the years 1853 and
400. From calculations based upon
the facts thus afforded, it was found by
Prof. Jones that the price of each kiud
of produce examined rises in the first
four years of the sun-spOt cycle. and
thence declines. The marina prices
occur in the tenth, eleventh, first, Sc
coud, and third years of the cycle.
These results, however. are considered
as merely preliminary, and requiring
further investigation. Yet more ex-
tended consequences are indicated by
these observations. 1t is found that
commercial panics have tended to re-
cur during the last fifty-fOur years in a
distinctly periodic manner. The aver
age length of interval between the
principal panics is about 1913 years,
nearly coincidlng with ILL, the length
of the solar-spOt period. Ere long. it
appears from this, our commercial men
will look to the astronomers for GER
tain prediction of the price of corn.

claimed to have proved q practical

There is a keyboard, operated by the
hand, and composed of twelve black
and an equal number OF white keys;
and on each side of the instrument is a
large key, moved by pressure OF the
wrist, and serving to give supplement
ary signs which simplify the reading
of the characters printed. All the KEYS,
when operated, produce indications i'll

DIFFERENT WAYS OF PREPARING CAB
BAGE FOR THE TABLE.-An excellent
cold slaw Is made by shredding solid
head of cabbage with thin, sharp
knife or q slaw cutter, then placing the
cut cabbage in your dish, pour over il a
dressing made by heating a pint OF
vinegar scalding hot then beating into
it quickly one beaten egg, with lump
of butter as large as walnut, aud a
tablespoonful of sugar. The cabbage
should be slightly sprinkled with salt
and pepper rs it is put in the dish.
To fry cabbage, chop or shred quite
fine, have spider hot on the stove in
which is small quantity of butter or
meat .drippings, season, and put In the
cabbage, and corer tight, stirring often
and taking care it does not scorch on
the spider. Cooked in this way 1t is
very sweet and nice.
Cabbage makes nice dish also cooked
by dropping into salted boiling water,
aud when tender taken out, minced fine
with a knife, then pouring over il a
dressing made by taking a piece of
butter the size of an egg, and coffee
cupful of boiling water; cut up the
butter with a half teaspoonful of Hour,
and stir it gradually into the hot water.
When ii boils, stir in dessert-spoonful
of vinegar, and 4 dust of pepper, with
a little salt. For the sauce, thick, sweet
cream is an excellent substitute.
To MAKE BOILED CCsTARD.-Take a
pint and half of milk, twelve drops of
almond fiavoring, a bit OF stick cinna-
mon, three ounces of loaf sugar. Beat
up the eggs with their whites in half
pint of the milk. Rub two of the Jumps
of sugar on the rind of the lemon till
they are quite yellow; then put in the
whole of the sugar, the pint of milk and
the cinnamon into saucepan. Let the
ingredients boil for five minutes; then
throw the whole out to cool for short
time; then beat all up together with
the beaten eggs; return it to the sauce
pan for few minutes, stirring over a
very slow fire till it thickens; then
strain it through fine tin strainer into
a jug; put the almond havoring into
another jug, and keep pouring the
custard out from one jug to the other
till it is cold. Ii it should be inclined
to turn to curd, which it will do if
boiled too rapidly or over too fierce a
fire, keep pouring it through the strainer
into the jug; when cold pour it care
fully into the glasses. Over the top of
the custards may be grated some very
fine nutmeg, or some blanche1 almonds
cut up into fine shaviugs. The above
quantities will nil from twelve to four
teen custard glasses according to the
size of the glass.

finest and from the most prolific stalks.

ear, If large, thrifty stalks can be
found with two or more good sized ears.
Generally one of them is fit for seed,
and that usually the second from the
ground; but il the lowest is the best
take that. Always take the ears that
are filed out to the end, and that run
beyond the husk, if such can be found.
When you come to plant, b' fore she'll

not, the corn Is not ripe"
