A SOLID DINNER.-Some of the New
York hotels have bills of fare with the
fly-leaf covered with cards Of various
business houses. An Oregon man re-
Gently took seat behind one Of them,
when a waiter appeared with "What
will you have, sir?" To the utter con-
fusion of the waiter, he leisurely re-
marked: "You may fetch me new
set of teeth, in gutta percha; an i'm
proved sewing machine, with patent
lock-stitch, box of Brandreth's pills,
and a pair of number seven French calf
skin boots" In a moment the waiter
replied: "We do not furnish those
articles" ''Then what the devil have
you got it on the bill of fare for?" re-
torted the customer.

A Bright Boy.-A little boy had a
colt and a dog. and his generosity was
often tried by visitors asking him-jus;
to see what he would say-tO give him
one or both of his pets. One day he
told a gentleman present he might
have his colt-reserving the dog, much
to the surprise of his mother, who
asked, "Why Jacky, why didn't you
give him the dOgT' Say nOthin', say
nOthin', mother; when he goes to get
the colt, I'll set the dog on him."

Spontaneous Generation an ImpOssi-
bil,ty.-Professo Tyndall has lately
read before the Royal Society a very
important paper "0n the Optical De-
pertinent of the Atmosphere, with re-
ference to the Phenomena of Putrefac-
ton and Infection"-a lengthy title,
saws the English Mechanic, but one
which does not adequately convey an
idea of the subjects treated. 1t has
been known for some time that air
might be rendered free from floating
particles by passing it through fre,
acids, or cotton wool; and the Profess
sor showed, not very long ago, that ar
thus purified will not transmit light,
and a glass chamber filled with 1t re-
mains dark, when placed IN beam OF
concentrated light, simply because there
is nothing to reflect or scatter, or In
other words to render visible, the light.
Since then Professor Tyndall has dis
covered that air enclosed In glass
chamber and left undisturbed for three
or four days deposits all the floating
particles and becomes optlcally clear
and dark to the beam of light. In this
paper, DIR. Tyndall has apparently pu:
the finishing touches to the hypothesis
of spontaneous generation, for he
shows that solutions confined In cham
bers of optically pure air remain unal-
tered for months, while portions of the
same or of similar solutions, when ex-
posed to the atmosphere. swarm with
bacteria in a few days. From his ex-
periments, Prof. Tyndall concludes that
spontaneous generation is an impossl-
bility, and that putrefaction and infec-
ton would be unknown in an optically
pure atmosphere.

GENERAL WAsHINaroN's CURx FOB
SoRr THRoAr.lOn the occasion Of Gem
eral Washington's first visit 70 New
mort. to confer with Count de Rocham.
beau, Christopher Ellery was the chair
man Of the committee Of arrangements
appointed by the town to receive the
distinguished guest. During the Cen
erals STAY at Newport he took tea at
the house of Mr.. Ellery. On this occa.
sion many of the French officers and
patriotic Newporters were present. Mr..
Ellery was widower, and his daughter,
Miss Betsy Ellery, then a young girl Of
sixteen or seventeen, who subsequently
married Samuel Vernon, an eminent
Newport merchant, presided at the tea
table in question, and poured out tea 70
her patriotic guests. Miss Ellery was
at the time suffering from severe sore
throat, and could not speak above q
whisper. General Washington observ-
ing this embarrassment Of his youthful
hostess, said to her. "Miss Ellery, you
seem to be suffering very much, what
is the matter?" Miss Ellery told him
the cause of her trouble, upon which
the General said to her; 81 suffer my
self, very frequently, from a sore
throat, and take remedy, which l find
very useful, and which would recon-
mend to you, were l not sure that you
would not take it." "But / am sure,
replied Miss Ellery, "that l would take
any remedy that General Washington
would propose" "Well, then," said
the General, ''it is this, onions boiled
in molasses;' it has cured me often" F"
Miss Ellery took the remedy, and, OF
course, was cured. The youthful host
ess of this tea party died at Newport, in
1857, few days before the ninety third
anniversary Of her birth. She was 9
woman of strong and cultured intellect
and delighted in telling her children
and grand children about the trials oi
the patriotic sons and daughters Of
Newport who were exiles during the
British occupation of their town.

Mud Pies.-There is great sport IN
making mud pies, I'm informed. Well,
let me tell you that Jack has heard of a
city-St. Petersburg it is scalled-where
the principal ingredient of that sort of
pastry is regularly prepared in great
piles in the public parks, and all the
children of the city are invited to come.
with pals and shovels, and dig and
play and make mud pies all day. AT
night, the clean sand is carefully swept
up again into high, smooth piles, ready
for another days sport.

cut of. before the sun begins to scorch
the tops, will escape injury; but bet
ter and more economical plan is to go
to the patch with a good turning plow,
and throw the dirt up so as to entirely
cover the frostbitten vines. This plan
will save thousands of dollars every
year, if followed.

The New Empress.

a New York Herald London telegram
says: The theatrical trick of Disraeli
to signalize his ministry by comforting
the title of q" Empress of India" on the
Queen of England is not the easy or
pleasant task that he anticipated. The
discussion wakes violent on all sides, and
those who were Indifferent a month ago
whether the queen was called Padizhah
of HindOstan or Begun of BhOpal have
now convinced themselves either that
the new title is a dangerous innovation
or a necessary assumption in name of
what is already matter of fact. 1t is
discussed vehemently by those who in
loyal haste to indOrse it, add a couple
Of chs" and a final or" to it, saying
" Hempress of Hindiar," or by those
who belittle it as throwing away title
on the blacks of 'IndOstan.
The opposition in the house of COM
mons had undoubtedly gained ground
since the last debate, as was seen in the
discussion on the third reading of the
bill, which, contrary to their expressed
determination, they forced upon the
house. The government has, however, a
safe majority III the house of lords,
where the debate on the subject is Un-
paralleled for invective and satire.
In connection with the statement
freely made that an amnesty will be
granted to the imprisoned Fenians on
the proclamation of the imperial title, !
may state that the secretary of the home
department has called for reports from
the directors of the convict prisons upon
the arrest, trial, conviction and subse-
quent behavior in Jail of the Fenians
still incarcerated. This is held by a
great many to fOrebOde their release.

4 CHE.fP FENCE.

| send you a plan of a straight rail
fence, either four or SIX rails high. If
four rails only are used, the space be-
tween the bottom rail and the ground
must be filled up with soil. l have made
this fence five years ago, and it has
stood our heaviest westerly gales, while
the staked worm fence was blown down.
The posts are made of three pieces split
or sawed out of any durable timber, two
by the inches, six feet six inches long
and firmly nailed together in shape like
the letter A, only that two posts are on
one side, three or four inches apart, &C
cording to the thickness of the rails. A
piece of inch board, three or four inches
wide, must be nailed across the double
posts for the lower rail to rest upon.
The brace is nailed across the posts, the
butt of the brace being three feet from
the butt of the posts, and the top being
a few inches down from the top of the
outside post. When the rails are twelve
feet long the posts require to be eleven
feet apart; that will allow the rails to
overlap six inches at each end when they
are laid in between the posts. Where
the land is clear of stumps and stones
we pillow two straight burrows, three feet
apart. One man places the butt of the
posts in one Iurrow and another man puts
the top rail between the posts, resting on
the brace, which will hold the posts in
position until the earth is banked up
around the posts. have made board
fences on the same plan, only using one
post and the brace, SITTING the post and
the brace, setting the post and brace ten
or twelve inches into the ground, and
mailing three boards on the face of the
post, and laying a straight pole on the
top, resting on top of brace.-Cor.

Tanning bY Electricity.

A novel application of electricity in
the industrial arts has recently been
made, whereby leather may &c more
quickly tanned 1t is stated that If an
electric current is passed through a sOlu-
ton of tannin in reservoir, the bottom
of which is one pole, while the other is
at the surface of the liquid, and if skins
be interpOsed during the passage of the
current, molecular transmission of tan
min from one pole to the other takes
place. In its passage the tannin thus
encounters the skins, which are pene-
trated by it much more quickly than by
the ordinary soaking process. Evidence
that the current is an active agent in &C
complishing this result appears in the
fact that the skins nearest the positive
pole are always penetrated first. The
following is a brief description Of the APP
paratus The bottom of the vessel or
tank is formed of plate or series of
plates of retort-charcoal. A copper wire
suTrounded!w gutta-Percha IS fastened
to this bottom, and rises along the verti-
cal side. The upper surface is covered
with a sheet Of zinc, to which a negative
pole is fitted. The two poles arc in con-
nection with a pile OF magneto-electric
machine. The skins arranged in the
reservoir alternately, with layers of bark
in the usual way.

SEASONABLE RECIPES.

REMEDY FOR SORE MOUTH.-Sage tea
sweetened with honey. 1t is also good
for chapped lips.
To STRENGTHEN VINEGAR.-Freeze it
and remove the ice fl ON the top. The
water alone freezes, and the strength re-
mains.
Snow CAKE cup of butter, , of
sugar, whites of s eggs, cup of sweet
milk, 1 teaspOOuful of soda, and > of
cream-Iartar. Flavor with lemon.
LEMON PIEs.-Two and one-half cups
of sugar, two well-beaten eggs, juice and
grated Tind of two lemons, and two cups
of sifted apple. Bake in an under crust.
SPONGE PUDDING.--3 eggs, the weight
of the eggs in butter, sugar and flour !

of mOlasses, one cup of sugar, two cups
! Of butter, four teaspOonfuls of alum.
put in two cups of boiling water, four
teaspoOnfuls of soda, and flour enough
to roll out.
CHICKEN PIE CRUsT.-Six cups OF
-four, one and a quarter cup of water,
one and a half pounds of lard, one tea
spoonful of salt, half teaspoonful of soda,
sprinkled over the dough. This is crust
enough for pie of two chickens.
BEE STINGs-Any absorbent will give
relief But perhaps nothing is more eff
fectual than lean raw meat. The sting
of a bee or wasp may be almost instantly
relieved by it. 1t is said to cure the
bite of rattlesnake, and to relieve
erysiPelas.
For CROUP.-Take a knife or crater
and CRATE or shave in small particles
teaspOOnful OF alum mix it with abou
twice its quantity of sugar, to make /
palatable, and administer it as quickly a
possible. It's effects will be truly magi
cal, as almost instantaneous relief will
be afforded.

cut crop on the platform until there is
enough for a large bunch, when it is
pushed off. At the next passing, drop
bunch at the same place, so as to make
windrows. When partly dry, cock it,
and let the drying process be completed
as already described. This plan obviates
raking, and leaves the crop in better con-
ditiOn. Draw it in on a dry day, and
thresh it at the proper time with a Glow
er-huller. When a moving machine can
not be had, the crop may be cut slowly
with a scYthe. If aclOver-huller can not
be procured, let the hay become quite
ripe, and if it has been wet, it will shell
the better, and resort to the more imper-
feet mode of threshing and passing
through the tanning mill. The thresh-
ing is of course most easily and perfectly
performed in sharp frosty weather.

4 NEW HITLR-PITL.

A New Jersey paper notices a new
style of milk-pail made of tin, nearly
globUlar, with a fiat bottom and rim
around it. The upper part of the globe
is open, and has iaring top. 4 handle,
like pitcher handle, is on one side, at
tached to this faring top. When in use,
a rather closely woven Iiken napkin is
tied over the top, and under the handle,
so that it will sag down into the can to a
depth of three inches or so. In this sag
of the strainer, a sea shell is Iaid-one of
the shells of a scallop being usually en-
ployed. The streams of milk will strike
into the shell, and the foam soon rises
and nearly fills the strainer. Specks of
falling dirt are received upon the top of
the foam. Those which are carried down
wash over the edge of the shell and lie
beneath it. There isnO scattering, and the
milk will be obtained entirely free from
hairs and specks of dirt, while soluble
dirt, which will sometimes fall in, may
be readily removed from the surface OF
the frOth.
