Hulled Corn.

This fashioned luxury is COM
ing into style again. and as it is really
a delicious dish when properly pre-
pared. it may be acceptable to know
the modus operandi of doing 1t right.
Take a six quart painful OF ashes,
hard wood ashes il possible, as they
are stronger; put them into an iron
kettle with three gallons or water;
let them boil about five minutes, then
set of from the fire and add pint OF
cold water 20 settle it. Turn OF the
I've and strain; put it into an iron
kettle and put in six quarts OF shelled
corn: put it over a brisk fire and let
it boil half an hour, skihming and
stirring frequently. The outside skin
OF the kernels will then slip off, Strain
off the lye. and rinse thoroughly in
several clear waters. When the I've
Is thus weakened, turn the corn into
a large dishpan, and turn in water
enough to cover it; then rub thor
oughly with the hands till the black
chits come Off; rinse and strain on till
the water looks clear: then put back
into a clean kettle with water enough
to cover it, and let 1t boil slowly. II

first quantity. Boil till quite soft; II
may be necessary to add water occa-
sionally: stir often, so as not to burn

spoonfuls OF salt, and stir it well. To

Military Photography.


There is hardly any branch OF sci
ence OF which the soldier OF to-day
does not avail himself. The Abyssin-
ian war has been termed triumph
OF engineering, and our campaign in
Ashantee was simply q victory OF
medical science. Our soldiers include
in their ranks surveyors, telegraph
ers, engineers and architects, while
the modern artilleryman not only
serves his gun, but calculates the
rate at which a cannon-b ball flies. and
can tell us to within a few pounds
the amount OF force or energy that it
represents. Now. We are told, the
soldier Is about TO avail himself OF
the microscope and the camera, In
in order to improve his knowledge OF
geography. Already during the seige
OF Paris the aid OF photography was
called in to supply the Parisians with
news from the outer world, when the
Germans surrounded the capital; let
tiers and dispatches were reduced to
a microscopic scale, and the tiny doc
uments were then sent into the
French metropolis by the aid OF car
rier pigeons This same prin. iple of
reducing printed charact rs y means
OF photography is &C ordin to a
scientific contemporary, to be ado tied
by the War Office for producing maps
and plans on small scale. The
ordinance maps are to be photo
graphed on such a scale that they
will measure but three or four inches
in length. s. delicately and distinct
ly can this be do c, however, that
the roads and railways a: still recog
nizable with the naked eyes while
with a magnifying glass the lame Of
every village and hamlet can be read
with ease. The little maps are trans
parent, so that they must be held up
to the light to be examined, and they
weigh, so We are informed, only q
few grains each. A scout might trav-
el with fifty such maps in his waist
coat pocket. and the whole Continent
OF Europe depicted in this way could
be contained in pocket-book. The
French Government, IL Sc ms, Is al
ready provided with Typographical
surveys taken up0n the minute scale,
and no doubt the German War Office,
which so well understands the impor-
lance OF such things, will not be be-
hindhand in the matter. 1t Is graft
flying to find that we also in this coun-
try are ready to take what advantage
we can OF science to perfect our
means Of warfare.

Agricultural Colleges.

The Maine Farmer INDUCES in the
following sensible views about these
Institutions:
Another danger results from ten
dency, in many instances, to drift
away, gradually,fro the fundamental
idea in the establishment OF these
colleges; that they were to be schools
of the new scientific and liberal train
ing, in contra-d distinction from the
old literary colleges. Every such
proposed deviation from the original
idea should be closely guarded, and
in no case considered. There are
old colleges enough; il these schools
Of agriculture and the technical and
industrial arts can not be maintained
as such, let them be abandoned rath-
or than allowed to drift into other
colleges of like character to the old
literary institutions. They are not
| calculated to reach the same ends.
and were not founded for the same
purpose: but are totally and radically
distinct, and should be kept so. The
grandest scheme ever inaugurated by
any government on the face OF the
earth, for the high education at low
cost of its young men in those
branches OF science on which rests
the prosperity Of the nation, should
on no account ever cease to work
those advantages and results which
it was designed they should accom-
plish. From this tendency, some
what obvious in many directions, we
are sorry to say there is much fear
unless each National Institution Is
kept closely anchored to the original
chart which marks out its distinctive
features as a purely agricultural,
technical and industrial college.
A third source OF anxiety Is the
general Impotence OF results charac-
teristic OF Americans, in whatever
scheme or enterprise they engage. 1t
is quite noticeable that people gener-
ally, and especially legislators who
have the expenditure Of public mon
les, get impatient over what they cal
the slow and unsatisfactory results
which these colleges show; forget
ting that 1t Is but q few years since
they were established. that they have
had to start with nothing. that they
have graduated but few classes, and
that fifty years even, is but a short
period in the life OF college or an
institution.

Deaths From Fright.

The first King of Prussia, Freder-
lex T., was sleeping one day in an
armchair, when his wife, Louisa Of
Mecklenburg, who had fallen into a
state OF hopeless insanity, having es-
capped from her keepers, succeeded
in making her way to the private
apartments, and after wounding her
self in her efforts to break through a
glass door, cast herself upon her hus-
band in state OF furious delirium.
The King, from whom her malady
had been carefully concealed, was so
Mortified at the aspect OF this woman
covered with blood, and clad only in
some linen garments, that he mag
ined he saw before him the white
Lady," whose apparition, according
to ancient tradition, invariably an
nounced the death of Prince Of the
house OF Brandenburgh. He was at
the instant seized with a violent fe-
yer, OF which he died six weeks after
ward, aged ffty-six.
The death Of the Dutch painter.
Penteman, in the seventeenth GEN.
fury, was cccasioned by an extraor-
binary circumstance. Being engaged
upon a picture in which were repre-
sented several deaths heads, skele-
tons, and other objects fitted to in
spire in the heart OF the beholder a
contempt for the amusements and
vanities OF tho age, he, in order TO
have the benefit OF studying these
objects from nature, was accustomed
to repair to an anatomical cabinet,
which served him as a studio. One
sultry day while engaged in drawing
from the melancholy relics OF NOR
tally by which he was surrounded
he was overcome with drowsiness,
and after several fruitless efforts to
continue his work at length sue
cumbed to the power OF sleep. He
had slept but short time when he
was suddenly awoke by an extraor-
binary noise. What was his horror
on looking up when he beheld the
skulls and bones around him agita-
ted by an extraordinary and appar-
emily supernatural movement, and
the skeletons suspended from the
ceiling clashing violently together.
Seized with sudden panic, Pente-
man, rushing in terror from the room,
east himself headlong from the stair
case window and fell into the street
half dead. On recovering his senses
he learned that the spectacle which
had so terrified him arose fro m nat
ural causes, havinS been cccasioned
by an earthquake. But the shock
received by his nervous system was
so great that he never ralli ed, and he
died few days after.
The French Marshal de Montreval,
whose whole soul, according to st.
Simon, "was but ambition and lucre,'
without ever having been able to-
distinguish his right hand from his
left, but ,onceaiing his universal IL
norance with an audacity which favor
fashion and birth protected, was so
superstitious that one day at a public
dinner, a salt-ceIlar having been ac-
cidentaliy upset in his lap, he was
seized with such terror at this un-
toward occurrence thathe arose from
his seat, declaring that he was a dead
man. In fact no sooner had he got
home than he was attacked by fever
and died a few days afterwards. in

THE FLOWER SPELL.
ANA 8. Hustled

Roses and violets and lilies fair.
Nestled and wreathed in tenderest green:
What could one ask for gift more rare?
More fitting to bring to his hearts crowned
queen?
Lily bells so waxen white.
Dropping fragrance while they
swing;
Ginning strains Of pure delight.
Joy no uttered notes could sing
Rosebuds hide in velvet folds
Secrets far too sweet to tell.
And each purple violet holds
Messages Love knows full well.
But the days are fed when such Joys were
minei
Broken my dream and silenced my song:
No worshipers kneel at vacant shrine:
There only the saddest memories throng.
Rosebuds your secrets / can not knowl
violetsl your message you still must keep
Lily bells toll out a requiem slow.
While nearer and colder Deaths shadows
Creep
All passing sweet was my songs strange
thrill:
And so. for the sake OF vanished days.
Whose rapture in memory fingers still.
Rosebuds let your velvet gloom
Touch my lips with kisses sweet
Lilies drench me with perfume!
Violetsl all your love repeat
Till entranced by your spell. o my beautiful
fiowersi
I dream youth comes back bringing Joy
freighted hoursi

Gill has spawned, resulting in fifty
young fry, which exhibit all the pecu-
liarities Of the originals. 1t is Mr..
ellis intention, as soon as he has a
sufficient stock, to give some Of them
to persons who will endeavor TO raise
them Such persons should address

um is a magnificent specimen. and

more than any square foot OF surface
