WATERED LARD AND How TO DETECT
IT.-There is considerable complaint in some
quarters about adulterated lard being crowded
upon consumers, and circulars have been is
sued recently by Chicago houses, charging
this fraud upon Eastern re6ners. There are
doubtless some of the small re6ners engaged
in the production of adulterated lard, but the
most Of this aort of wash that is put upon the
market, comes from the Southwestern reiners.
In order that dealers may know how to test
this spurious article, we subjoin directions for
making simple test for water. Take clear
glass bottle, ell it with the lard to be tested,
(leaving out the cork, } place this bottle about
six inches from the stove or fire, and let the
lard slowly melt, being very careful not to
get it up to the boiling point, as the water
would then evaporate; most of the water will
slowly fall to the bottom Of the bottle, and the
lard now melted will rise to the top. By
glancing at the amount Of water now deposi-
ted at the bottom Of the bottle, "a compared
with the amount Of oil (or lard) above it, you
can easily tell how much water there is in the
fraudulent article. Should the lard not settle
clear, nor precipitate much water, it is an ev.
dence that it is also adulterated with an alkali,
which serves to combine part Of the water
with the lard, making soap Of it. which does
mot precipitate readily. with the water. 5,

sg A dog with an ear for music is owned
by a man in Troy, in New York. The mans
daughter is taking lessons on the plane, and
devotes several hours a day to practice. One
day the dog was in the room and showed
great interest in the piano. He jumped upon
the table and looked at it, ran under and
around it, leaping upon it and peered into it,
asi trying to find out where the sounds came
from. Soon after, when the young lady was
playing, the dog tried to initiate the notes.
Afterward, while she was practicing, the dog
almost daily would try to sing. He did not
bark or howl, as dogs will often do, at the
sound of the bells. Although he could not
pronounce ia, sol, la, 81, do, &C., he succeeded
IN good imitation of the sounds, and conld
cause his voice to rise and fall with the notes.
All this was at first only in. the apresence of
the young lady. When she told her mother
and invited her to be present, the dog would
not sing. By and BY, however. his fondness
for music overcame5 his bashfulness, and he
would sing in the presence Of the two ladies.
Afterwards other members Of the family were
called in, and now the dog, having conquered
bis modesty and gained confidence in his Own
power, will exhibit his musical talents in the
presence of any company. s sss s;s'.s;s "a;

BENEFIT OF BEING KNOCKED ABOUT

BENEFIT OF BEING KNOCKED ABOUT
1t is good thing for young man to be
"knock about in the world" although his soft,
hearted parents may not think so. All youths,
or if not all, certainly nineteen.twentieths
of the sum total, enter life with surplusage
of self:conceit. The sooner they are relieved
the better. If, in measuring themselves with
wiser and older men than themselves, they
discover that it is unwarranted, and get rid
of it gracefully of their own accord, we'll and
good if not, it is desirable, for their own sake,
that it should be knocked out of them. i
A boy who is sent to large school soon
finds his level. His will may have been par
amount at home; but school.boys are demo.
cratic in their ideas, and if arrogant, he is
sure to be thrashed into recognition Of the
golden rule. The world is great public
school, and it soon teaches new pupil bis
proper place. If he has the attributes that
belong to leader, he will be installed into
the position of leader; if not, whatever bis
own opinion of bis abilities, he will be com
PEELED to fall back into the rank and file. II
not destined to greatness, the next best thing
to which be can aspire is respectability; but
no man can be truly great or truly respecta'
BILE who is vain, pompous. and overbearing
By the time the novice has found his legit'
innate social position, be the same high or low,
the probability is the same dissgreeable traits
of character will be softened down and worn
away. Most likely the process Of abrasion
will be rough, perhaps very rough, but when
it is all over, and he begins to see himself as
others see him, and not as reflected in the mir
or of self-conceit, he will be thankful that be
has run the gauntlet, and arrived through by
rough road of knowledge. .......a. 49,.
Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers
may think to the contrary, it is "a good thing
for youths to be knocked about in the world
It makes men of them.

HoME LIFE i HUaDREp YEARs sAeo.-7
One hundred years ago not a pound Of coal
or cubic foot of illuminating gas had been
burned in the country. No iron, stoves were
used and no contrivances for economizlpg
heat.were employed until Df. Franklin M
vented the iron framed fireplace which stisl
bears his name All the cooking and
ing ii town and country were done by the, ald
Of FIRE kindled on the brick hearth or in the
brick oven. Pine knots or tallow candles fur
nished the light for the long winter nights,
and sanded floors supplied the place Of rugs
and carpets. The water used for household
purposes was drawn from deep wells by the
creaking 'fsweep. No form Of pump was
used ID this country, SO far as We can learn,
until after the commencement Of the present
century. There were no friction matches
those early days, BY the aid Of which a fire
could be easily kindled, and if the fire awent
out' upon the hearth over night, and the tin-
der was damp so that the spark would not
catch, the alternative remained OF wading
through the snow q mile or 30, to borrow a.
brand Of q neighbor. Only one room in any
house was warm unless some Of the family was
i'll; lin all the rest the temperature was at zero
during many nights Of the winter. The men and
women Of d hunired years ago nndressd and
went to their beds in q temperature colder
than that of our modern barns and woodsheds
and they never complained. ~

Our GREAT EXHIBITION AND ITs Pre-
DEcEssoRs. The great exhibition just closed
at Philadelphia, in the good character, the
good behavior and the well-to do appearance
Of its visitors, has given fattering testimony
to the traits of the American nature. But
there is still another aspect in which its ma r
terial success may be interpreted as the eyi-
dence ofa very positive and creditable Amer
can quality. Up to the last evening the total
number of visitors to our exhibition number
ed 8,OO4,214 for one hundred and forty-six
exhibition,days. At the Vienna exhibition,
although there were one hundred and eighty.
six exhibition days, including Sundays-the
days when the attendance reached its highest
6gures-there was total attendance Of only
3,492622 paying visitors. At the Paris ex-
hibition in 1857 the paying attendance-in-
cluding Sundays-was $500, 1859 in two hun.
dred and seventeen days. The paying atten-
dance the London exhibition of 1851 which
was kept open for one hundred and forty-one
days, was 6,039, 1856 and at the London ex.
,hibition of 1872 there we're 8, ,211 ,103 visitors
in one hundred and seventy-one days. 1t will
thus be seen that in respect to the numerical
attendance the daily average Of our exhibition
has largely exceeded that of its predecessors.
This result will appear much more striking
when we remember that the foreign exhibi-
tions With which we make comparison, not
only were held in cities much larger than
Philadelphia, bat had, within q seven days
Journey of those cities, q total population OF
200, ,0OOO 900, while the population with the
same radius of philadelphia is less than 46,.
100000. Furthermore, it should be consid-
cred that the admission fees at the foreign ex-
hibitions, though differing widely on different
days, on the whole averaged very much less
than the fifty cents admission fee at Philadel-
phia.
This last feature will be brought out more
distinctly by glance at the pecuniary results.
At Philadelphia the receipts from admission
fees up to the last night we're approximate
ly $3.S16, 900; at the London exhibition IN
1851 only 50, ,121 $40; at Paris in 1857 only
S2,103,6 and at Vienna in 1873, only Sl,-
O323SS25. In view Of all these figures, it
will not be strange if the ordinary American
concludes that he is more Jealous supporter
of home institutions, a better traveller, and has
more money to spend than the ordinary citi.
zen of what he calls "the efete nationalities OF
the old world" .s4~

Everything was favorable for Tarleton. All
his troops were tried soldiers, whilst the ma
jority of Morgan's were militia. Military
men, perhaps, would have advised Morgan
not to risk battle. One of the characters.
tics of Morgan was that he always depended
upon his own judgment. Tarleton concluded
that the only reason that Morgan had deter
mined to risk battle, was the fact that be
was so closely pursued that he could not do
otherwise than fight Such, however, was
not the case. Morgan had contemplated 6ght-
ing at the Pacolet, on the 10Th, but retreated
that he might gain some advantage. ,..'.-
When the British force came in sight, Nor.
gan's men had breakfasted and were ready
for the conflict. On the evening before, Nor
gan had ordered each rifeman to get twenty.
four rounds of powder and ball prepared be-
fore he retired to rest. The order in which
the troops should be arranged for battle, was
also written out and read to the officers on the
evening before. The troops were marshalled
in accordance with the following order: The
Georgia and Carolina militia, in front. These
we're commanded by Mcdowell, Cunningham
Hammond and Donnelly. Immediately in
7 the rear Of the militia, was Colonel Howard's
command, which consisted Of the Continental
infantry and two companies of Virginia mill
tia. These last we're commanded by Taitt
and Triplett. On the left Of Howard, wa'
Pickeus' command on the right, Triplett and
Beatty. Colonel Washington, with the csval
~, was stationed in the rear. The horses be
longing to the infantry were tied at con
yenIient distance inthe rear of the whole.
Tarleton's vanguard advanced and deployed
