lowing on the loafer question:
"Loafers loafers, black and white ,
shabby and genteel, ON every cor
ner OF every street of town and
city of the south. Pious loaters ard
profane, humble loaiers, handsome
and vane. Ragged and dirty loafers.
Honest and theivish loafers. Spruce
and danified loafers. Skulking and
insolent loafers. Loafers, loaters
everywhere. Swarming on goods
boxes and door-steps. Thronging
our doggeries and billiard rooms
Hanging about churches and livery
stables, banks and newspaper offices.
Loafers, loafers, without any cessa-
tion. Why stand there all day
idle? Because no man hrs hired
them? Not bit of it, The whole
country is one vast, gloisous fall
low field waiting for the laborers to
bring its rich harvest forth Far
mers are anxtiously seeking for
hands. Any man, with willing
heart and strong arms can find plen-
ty todo, and good wages for doing
it. Away with the loafersl If a fel-
low will not work. neither should
he eat. TO calaboosal rock-piles,
with the whole loaiing creed. For
the papa of radicalisms finds some
mischief still for idle hands to do.

division of the treasury department
is informed that a new counterfeit
five dollar note on the Merchants
National Bank of New Bedford,

The Chinese Annual Feast of
the Dead.'

ANOTHER strange custom which the
Chinese have brought to this country
is their annual Feast of the Dead. :"
Their festivals all come at irregular
periods of the year, owing to their
manner of counting the months Last
year the Feast Of the Dead came in
July, this year it will not come until
September. The Feast" occupies
three days, and during that time the
stranger III San Francisco witnesses a
wonderful scene. The Chinese ceme-
terry is on Lone Mountain, and toward
this place while the festival lasts a
constant stream of people can be seen
going and coming. The first day the
rich merchants, clad in costly silks and
satin robes, ride out in their carriages
with all the grace and dignity of
princes. Behind them follow express
wagons loaded down with eatables
and wines to feast the dead departed
In front of the carriages ride mesSen-
gers on horseback with bags filled
with little rice papers on which are
printed Chinese characters. Every few
steps a messenger throws out hand
full of these papers, which are blown
hither and thither by the winds. Ar
rived at the cemetery all dismount and
wend their way slowly and sOlemnly
into the gates to the graves of their
respective relatives. The dishes con-
tanning the food are then placed
around and on the graves, with cups
of "sam Shot, and rice wine
ranged alongside. After few
prayers have been chanted and hymns
sung, the food is again packed in bas-
kets, the wine spilled on the graves,
and the self-satisfed cortege turn
their faces homeWard to feast on the
baked meats and spend the day in rev.
aelry and mirth. The second day the

Hen Manure in the Garden.

A WRITER in the american 4 gricatz-
turist says:
One of the best fertilizers within
easy reach of the farmer and villager,
is the hennery. This often goes to
waste, and the hens find their own
lodging in trees, and on sheds, and
other outbuildings. But on most
farms there is roost under cover,
where the droppings accumulate and
are kept in a dry state. AS rule, not
much care is bestowed upon it. Often
it lies upon the floor without absorb
ents, the ammonia constantly escaping,
to the injury of the fowls. Sometimes
it has an annual cleaning, but oftener
it lies for years only wasting. Analy-
sis shows it to be exceedingly rich in
nitrogen, worth a cent pound, or
more in the state in which we usually
find it. If all its good properties were
carefully gathered, and saved by the
use of absOrbents, it would be worth
much more than this. There are two
ways of doing this, equally effectual-
daily sweeping and gathering into bar
rels or boxes, or by frequent deposits
of absorbents under the perches. The
former method involves good deal of
labor, and is resorted to only by those
who insist upon the utmost neatness in
the hen house. The drOppingS depOS-
tied in the barrels are covered daily
with plaster, dry peat or some other
good absorbent. Our own method is to
apply the absorbents frequently under
the roosts. The hennery has ce-
mented floor, and is built into bank,
fronting on the south, with large
supply of windows to give light
and heat. Spring water is brought
into the poultry-hOuse by a pipe,
and by the turning of a faucet
constant supply of fresh
water is secured. The whole floor is
covered with absorbents of various
kinds, in which the fowls scratch and
dust themselves as freely as they
please. The staple absorbent in sum-
mer is dry garden soil or road dust,
gathered as the state Of the weather

second class, which is composed of la
borers and domestic servants, proceed
to the cemetery in express wagons,
and go through the same performance
as their predecessors of the day before.
The third day the lower class, ragpick-
ers, street-cleaners, scullioDs and the
like, trudge to Lone Mountain on foot,
with the scanty preparations for g
feast that they have succeeded in pur-
chasing only after long months of
rigid and eXacting economy. This
custom is not alone observed by those
living in this city, for on the day which
it is observed visit any of the Chinese
graves scattered throughout California
or Nevada, no matter how many miles
from human habitation, or how lonely
or sequeStered, and you will find
there the same preparations for the
''feast' as in the thickly settled Getty
of the Dead" at Lone Mountain. This
is the one redeeming feature that these
queer people from the far off Orient
possess. No matter how low or de-
graded they may be in other matters,
they always retain that respect for the
religion Of their country and the re-
igiouS rites that form a chief part of
it.-S01l Francisco Cor. Detroit Free

permits. In the winter it is sifted
hard-coal ashes from the furnace. liz
addition to this, Sea-Weed and the
WTack from the shore are frequently
thrown in, which furnishes food for
the fowls as we'll as helps the manure
heap. AS soon as the smell of ammo
MIA is detected, more earth is added,
and thus the pile of manure grows
gradually through the year. 1t is re-
moved as often as manure is wanted
in the garden, at planting, or to assist
growing crops. 1t needs to be used
with caution, either in the dry or
liquid state. We have large faith in
the economy of liquid manure, applied
to fruit and vegetables in the summer.
1t is very good in dry weather, and
not much less good in wet, if the soil
is well drained. The quantity of
water that plants viii take up in the
growing season is wonderful. We
keep a large tank, which is supplied
with manure and water from the hen
merry, and frequently applied to Gu
cumbers, squashes, melons, tomatoes,
cabbage, and to grapevines and other
small fruits. The liquid manure adds
much to the vigor Of the plants, and
the size and quality of the vegetables
and fruits. To those who have never
tried it, we think the free use of liquid
manure will open a new revelation in
gardening. Try it on the flower Dor
ders and on all the growing crops.

WILHoFT'S FEVER AND AGUE Tonic
This medicine is used by construction COM
panies for the benefit OF their employees,
when engaged in malarial districts. The
highest testimonials have beer given by con-
tractors and by the Presidents of some of
the leading railroads in the South and West.
When men are congregated in large num-
bcrs in the neighborhood of swamps and
rivers, Wilhoft's Tonic will prove valuable
addition to the stock of medicines, and will
amply reward the company in the saving of
tim, labor and money. We recommend it

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

JUMBLEs.-One and a-half cups SUI
gar, half a cup butter, two eggs, half
teaspoon soda, one of cream of tartar
dissolved in a little sweet milk, flour
enough to make like pie-crust. Bake
in waffie-irons. Fill the little holes
with light and dark Jelly, alternately.
SOAP suds may be used with great
advantage for manuring grape vines.
Downing says he has seen an Isabella
grape vine produce 5000 fine clusters
of well-ripened fruit in a season, by
the liberal use of manure and soap
suds from the weekly wash. The eff
fects Of soap-suds on other plants are
remarkable.
ALL small birds should be well
picked, drawn and wiped inside and
outside, but never wet, as it destroys
their flavor to put them in water.
Stuff with dressing made of bread
crumbs and butter, highly seasoned.
Sew up the opening and truss like
larger birds. Roast from twenty to
thirty minutes. Serve on toast, and
with currant or some other acid jelly.
FUCHsIAs require more water than
geraniums and roses, yet it is impor-
tant not to give them so much that the
soil becomes sodden, as the small,
fibrous roots will decay if kept too
moist. But if Watered twice a week
with weak liquid manureS, or with a
tablespoonful Of guano, dissolved in a
gallon of hot water, and allowed to

HERE is the best recipe for making
Charlotte Russo: Take one quart
cream beat to a froth (best and quick
est done with a Dover egg-beater) &;
sWeeten with about four tablespoon
fuls of sugar; then flavor. Put one
half box gelatine in milk sufficient to
mOisten it; set where it will warm
gradually; stir often; when dissolved
add to the prepared cream. Line a
dish with sponge-cake sliced, or with
lady-fingers - pour the cream into it,
and set it in cool place. Cor. Chi

SQUASH FRITTERs.- Take three MT
diminished squashes, pare, cut up and
boil tender, mash and drain thorough
ly, season with pepper and salt, add
one cupful of milk Cream is better),
the yelk of two eggs, and sufficient
sifted flour to make very stiff batter,
or they will be hard to turn; lastly,
stir in the beaten whites of the eggs.
Have your fat hot and fry brown.
Prepared in this way, you have dish
that could not fail to satisfy the palate
of any one, even were they as dainty
as some of the old Roman dignitaries,
who Toasted on the tongues and brains
of rare birds.
SCOTCH CAKE.-Two pounds flour,
one pound butter, half pound pow
dered sugar; chop flour and butter to-
gether, having made butter quite soft
by setting near fire. Knead in the
sugar. Roll into sheet not quite half
an inch thick; cut in two-inch squares.
When you want them to look nice put
few sugar comforts in center; they
will stick by pressing them on with
your finger. Any confectioner will
sell five cents worth; that is enough
for a batch. Don't get all one color.
Bake light brown. Put in stone crock
for few days. They will get soft
just melt in your mouth.
