The Rise and Fall of the Tweed
Ring.

Nothing more dramatic than the his
tory of the Tweed Risg can be found
in the passage of "Mont Crlsto," or
any other wild and apparently improb-
able romance. Every member of it
was, few years ago, poor and OBJ
scure; every promin ent memb sr of it,
for few brief years, rolled in appar-
entity boundless wealth. Horses, car
riages, and diamonds were SO common
among them that they ceased to be
valued. The presents to Tweed 8
daughter upon her marriage wers val
ued at$760, 200. The wife of man
who had been a poor carpenter refused
from her husband set Of diamonds
upon her birthday, alleging that she
had already so many that she did not
know what to do with them. In the
families Of these persons money flowed
like water, and they had the name OF
being most generous, because money
went with some of them at least, as
easy as it came A man who had
lived with his family on $40 per week,
and what little he could make by extra
labor, became all at once a possessor
Of horses and carriages, pictures and
bronzes; gave his wife $1,000 instead
,sof 10 to do her shopping, and mount
sd his childred on ponies and in phae-
tons, with white gloved servants behind
them. Surely, it was like a fairy tale.
But as quickly the scene changed,
and these same men shrank from the
light of day, lived in fear and trem-
beling for time near their old haunts,
and Fl aally stole away. one by ono,
until all that is known Of them is that
they wander, like Connolly, an exile in
Egypt, or Harry Genet in Spain !;
Field in Belgium, Sweeny in Paris, and
smaller fry mp and down the continent
of Europe, afraid to return, lest the
remainder Of their ill-gotten wealth
should be wrested from them-Jen-

why and when Lamps Explode.

All explosions of coal oil lamps are
caused by the vapOr or gas that collects
i'm the space above the oil. When full
of oil, Of course, a lamp contains no gas
but Immediately on lighting the lamp,
consumption of oil begins. soon leaving
a space for gas, which commences to
form as the lamp warns up, and, after
burning short time, sufficient gas will
accumulate to form an explosion. The
gas in lamp will explode only when
ignited. In this respect it is like gun
powder. Cheap or inferior oil is always
the most dangerous.
The flame is communicated to the gas
i'm the following manner: The wick
tube IN all lamp-burners is made larger
than the wick which is to pass through
it. 1t would not do to have the wick
tightly i'm the burner; on the contrary,
it is essential that it move up and down
with perfect ease. In this way il Is un-
avoidable that space i'm the tube is left
along the sides of the wick sufficient for
the flame from the burner to pass down
into the lamp and explode the gas.
Many things may occur to cause the
flame to pass down the wick and ex-
plode the lamp. The Scientific Americdn
says:
l. A lamp may be standing on table
or mantle, and a slight puff of air from
the open window, or sudden opening of
a door, may cause an explosion.
,. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from a table or mantle and instantly
explode.
3. A lamp is taken into an entry
where there is strong draught, or out
of doors, and an explosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp is taken up a fight
of stairs, or is raised quickly to place it
on the mantel, resulting i'm an explo-
sion. In all these cases the mischief is
done by the air movement-either by
suddenly checking the draught, or fore
ing air down the chimney against the
flame.
5. Blowing down the chimney to ex-
the light is a frequent cause of
6. Lamp explosions have been caused
by using a chimney broken off at the
top, or one that has piece broken out,
whereby the draught is variable and
the flame unsteady.
Z. Sometimes a thOughtless person
puts small sized wick in large
burner, thus leaving a considerable
space along the edges of the wick.
S. An old burner, with its air draughts
clogged up. which by right should be
away, is sometimes continued
i'm use, and the final result Is an eXplo-

kEEPING TURNIPs AND CABBAGE
The majority Of people in cities, and q
large number of people In the country,
have a sore grievance in shriveled tur-
nips and wilted cabbage. Rarely Is
either vegetables served AT the table in
winter in q manner 10 envoke enthusi-
asm on the part of those who have a
special fondness for either. And the
fault is not with the cook, but with the
parties who handle the vegetables. In
cabbage, because the old-fashioned
burying in the ground, heads down
and roots exposed keeps railways fresh,
the repeated freezings having no bad
effects so long as it IL left in the ground.
But in the city how shall we keep il?
The question of keeping turnips is not
so easily disposed of, even in the
country. If put in cellar, with pota-
toes, apples, etc., the temperature Is
too warm; if buried in large heaps,
they soon become spongy. The sim
plest course open is to bury in small
heaps or keep in a root cellar that can
be Kept cool, even to freezing. A cor
respondent of the Rargl Ne,r Yorker ex-
perimented in this way. He put fifty
bushels of turnips in an unused ice-
house, left the doors open until the
turnips on top were frozen solid then
covered with light coat of straw un-
til spring, when they were taken out
in good condition, not wilted, spOngy
or rotten turnip in the lot. He in short
kept his turnips frozen during the
winter, or so near it that no change in
their condition was possible. He draws
the inference that once freezing does
not injure turnips or change their flavor
"a strong point if they are thawed ont

The Song Of the Shirt.

An anecdOte, which Mark Lemon
loved to tell, related to the period when
Tom Hood became a contributor to
Punch. Looking over his letters one
morning, he opened an envelope inclO-
sing a poem which the writer said had
been rejected by three contemporaries.
If not thought available for Punch, he
begged the editor, whom he knew but
slightly, to consign it to the waste-paper
basket, as the author was "sick at the
sight of it." The poem was signed
"Tom," and the lines were entitled
''The Song of the Shirt" The work
was altogether different from anything
that had ever appeared in Punch, and
was considered so much out of keeping
with the spirit of the periodical that at
the weekly meeting its publication was
opposed by several members of the
staff. Mark Lemon was so firmly i'm
pressed not only with the beauty of the
work, but with its suitability for the
paper, that he stood by his first de-
cision and published it. By letter
written by Tom Hood to Mark Lemon,
which we have for the moment mislaid,
il appears that the question of illustra-
ting the poem was entertained and dis
cussed. The lines, however, were pub
lished without illustration, except that
humorous border of grotesque figures
which made up "Punch's Procession"
on Dec. 16, lS43. "The Song of the
Shirt" trebled the sale of the paper and
created profound sensation through
out Great Britian.-LoRdoR Society.

''I1l e'en taxi the basket. and walk the
rest o. the way VII her."
The young squire woke up. What
strange distinctions there are In life. TO
be sure! Here was girl whom he had
actually been contemplating in the light
of wife. In his musing he had dressed
her like queen, and had seen her
sweep gracefully in at the wide portal
of his mansion. But on the threshold
of that door her own familiar friend, it
seemed, must pause, humble and hat
less. He could not make place for
Adam; he could not imagine Adam In a
drawing-room. Adams sturdy boots
aud brawny figure were not exactly the
stuff that dreams were made of. And,
as have said, the squire woke up.
'We have had very pleasant ride, !"
he said, rs, setting Marjory and her bas-
ket down, he bowed and drove on to the
stable. And as he went he thought to
himself that it was all well enough to
talk philosophy and dream poetry, but
when things came to the practical test,
you must give day-dreams the go-by.
But when Marjory's wedding-day
came at last, and the little cottage was
hers by his own gift, it must have been
gratifying to him to know that he had
fulfilled her day-dreams at least, If not
his own, in ''giying her lift"

Sir Walter Scott.

Scott was great lover of dogs, and
always had many fine ones around him.
One day in conversing with friend he
said: "Those dogs" pointing to two
fine hounds lying on the hearth, "un-
derstand every word l say" The friend
expressed his doubts of this statement.
Sir Walter, to prove it, took up book
and began thus to read aloud: 81 have
two lazy, good-for- nothing dogs, who
lie by the fire and sleep, and let the cat
tie ruin my garden" Both dogs in
stantly sprang up and ran out Of the
room, and, finding no cattle i'm the gar
den, returned and lay down by the fire.
The baronet again read from the book
the same story. Again the dogs ran
out, and again returned disappointed
and lay down. The third time their
master told the story, when, instead
of going out, the dogs came up TO him,
looked in his face, whined and wagged
their tails, as much as to say, "You
have made game of us twice: you cam
not do it the third time"

Consumptixes. Take NotieeI

Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of 4 remedy.
The amount of testimony in favor of
DIR. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a
cure for consumption, far exceeds all
that can be brought to support the pre-
tensions of any other medicine. See
DIR. Schenck's Almanac, containing the
certificates of many persons of the high
est respectability, who have been re-
stored to health, after being pronounced
incurable by physicians of acknow-
ledged ability. Schenck's PulmOnic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of
two other remedies which DIR. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These addi-
tiOual remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines, according
to directions, DR.. Schenck certifies tina.
most any case of Consumption may be
cured.

principal office, Corner Sixth and Arch
Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,

dressed.

CHICKEN PIE.-Cut the chicken in
small pieces and put them on to cook,
with just water enough to cover Them.
When about half done, take out the
chicken and rub some pepper, salt,
flour, with sufficient butter TO make a
rich gravy; when cool, roll out your
crust and put round the sides of the
dish, let it come over the edge; then
cut some narrow strips and put round
twice on top of that; put in the chicken
and fill the dish about half full of
gravy; save out plenty TO eat with the
pie. If there does not seem to be
enough, rub some butter with flour and
seasoning, and put in small pieces
among the chicken, and put on some
water. Then cover the dish with thick
crust, cut out round piece from the
center of the pie, then roll some crust a
little thicker than you would for COM
mon pie, and cut eight leaves-you can
mark round tablespoon to shape them
mark them through the middle and
each side 10 resemble a leaf, then lay on
four opposite each other, then the other
four between those; take a narrow strip
of the crust and cut it fine at one edge,
then roll it up and put it in the center.
Ii properly done, you have very hand
some pie. Bake in gradually until the
crust is done.

PORK-TIow TO Cut AND TRIM.-IIave
the hog laid on his back on stout
table. Clean the carcass of the leaf fat.
Take off his feet at the ankle joints.
Cut the head off close to the shoulders,
separating the jowl from the skull, and
open the scull lengthwise on the under
side, so As to remove the brains fully.
Remove the backbone in its whole
length, and with sharp knife cut off
the skin-then the fat, leaving only
about one-half inch Of fat on the spinal
column. The middlings or sides are
now cut from between the quarters,
leaving the shoulders square shaped,
and the ham pointed, or it may be
rounded to suit your fancy.
The ribs are next removed partially
or entirely with the sides. The trim
mings or fat from the hams or flabby
parts of the sides, are rendered up with
the backbone strips for lard. The sau-
sage meat is cut off from the fat and
ribs; and other lean places are used for
the same purpose. The thick part of
the back bone that lies between the
shoulders is called chine; it is cut from
the tapering bOny end, and the latter
part called the backbone BY way of dis
tinctiOn. The backbone is used while
fresh; the chine is better after being
smOked.-Proirie Fdrmer.

A PLEASANT COUGH CANDY.-Take
two tumblers and i'm one place gill Of
flaxseed; fill the other with broken bits
of slippery elm bark fill both tum-
blers with boiling water, and leave
standing for two hours. In saucepan
place one and half pounds brown
sugar. Strain into it through muslin
all the liquor that will pour from the
two tumblerfuls of bark and fiaxseed.
Transfer to the fire, and stir till the
candy seems upon the point of turning
back to sugar. When this is seen to be
the case. pour out instantly, and break
into small pieces when cold. This
candy is surprisingly pleasant to the
taste, and found beneficial, especially
in the case of public speakers called
upon to tax the voice while suffering
from hoarseness.

EFFECTS OF COLD IN FATTENING.-A
producer of pork in Muskingum
County, o., who has made an expert
ment with hogs, with view to ascer-
tain how far cold retards the rate of
fattening, reports the following re-
suits: Carefully weighing the hogs
fed, and the corn fed to them, and esti-
mating pork at cents per pound, he
found that what he fed out during the
first week in October, returned Gn
pork so cents per bushel; the first
week in November, 60 cents; the third
week, 40 cents; the fourth week in
November and the month of December
% cents; the first half of January,
cents, the last half, O. In the October
week of the experiment the weather
was pleasant and warm. 1t gradually
grew colder till the latter part of No
vember, from which time it remained
about stationary till the first of January
after which it ran down to zero, and
below i'm the latter part of the month.
The hogs were well sheltered i'm a good

Ufii,atioR cfthe Suds from the Wash
ing Of WOot.-In nothing has the ad-
vance of practical science been more
clearly evidenced than in the extent to
which substances formerly wasted and
lost are now reclaimed and made to
constitute an important element in the
profits of the manufacturer. One of
these applications consist in the re-
cOvery of the soap-suds from the
washings of wool in wooden factories.
These were formerly allowed to run
down the sewers and into the streams.
to the great pollution of the latter !;
but in Bradford, in England, they are
now run from the washing bowls into
watts, aud there treated with sulphuric
acid. The fats rise to the surface in a
mass of grease foot or more in thick
ness, which is carefully collected and
treated in various ways, mostly by dis
tillation. The products are grease,
used for lubricatidg the c0gs of driv-
ing-wheels in the mills Oleic acid,
which is worth about S160 per ton, and
used as substitute for olive oil; stea-
rim. worth 500 per ton, etc. Ii is said
that some large mill owners are now
paid from 800 to 5000 q year for
these suds, which few years ago were
allowed to run to waste.
