In order to give the young Il hint Of
what might be learned, teachers ought
10 devote Il few hours each week to teach
ing scientific education, especially such
as relates to agriculture. Short weekly
botanical and geological cXcursions0ught
to bc made to the country by the whole
school. Interesting geological and eth
biological specimens are lying around on
every farm in this country. EycryschooI-
house should contain II cabinet Of scicn-
cntiiic curiositics. These could be col
lected without any expense. The cabi-
nets would excite the curiosity of the
scholars to know msrc about these sub
jccts. Teachers that cannot teach any
more than what they find in school hooks
are not qualified to teach. This uualif-
cation ought To be required of every one
The moral effect Of teaching science il
our common schools would be to dircCI
the mlads Of the young from immora

mOrnllhcrS that exist. To the end tina
we may know what they are doing il
this direction in other countries, will
here state what the Germans have done
to popuIarizc scientific agricultural cdu-
cation. In the first place, Prussia has
four higher agricultural academies, with
eighty paid professors; fOrty-onc lesser
colleges, all connected with model farms;
five special schools Tor the cultivation Of
meadows, and for the scientific study of
irrigation; enc special school for the rec
lamation of swamp lands; two special
schools for industrial agriculture; one
school Tor horsc-sh0eing; one school for
silk and bee raising and p~isciculturc
twenty agricultural stations Oabora-
torics) for experiments and for garden
culture; three higher colleges, and twelve
secondary schools in which the culture
OF the grape vine is made Il speciality.
All these schools are connected with
model farms for the practical education
ul students. One contains two thousand
lohr hundred and fifty acres of farming
land, and fourteen thousand seven hun
drcd acres of forests. Bavaria, with five
millions OF people, has twcnty.siX agri-
cultural colleges, and two hundred and
slXty-ninc associations for the advance

tains one hundred and cighty-four agri-

Rehang Your 6rindstone.

The periphery of every grindstone on
which edge tools are ground should run
as true as the dressed surface of mill
stone, as it is impracticable to grind a tool
correctly on stone that revolves with an
uneven motion. If the periphery of a
stone varies half an inch in each reyolu-
ton, the most expeditions way to put it
in order is to loosen the wedges with
which it is keyed to the journal and re-
hang it. Then secure the bearings of the
journal 80 that. they cannot be easily
lifted out Of the boxes and turn the per
iphery off true and smooth. Let q firm
rest be fixed close to the periphery before
attempting to turn off the prominent por-
tons. The rest must be solid, with the
surface close to the stone, so that when
the turning instrument comes in contact
with the stone it will remove thin chip
without splinging away from the stone.
Stone turner's always employ for q turn
ing tool the end Of bar Of very soft iron,
drawn out to d point and turned up at the
end for gouging. A; piece of soft iron is
far more effective than steel. One Of the
best devices for turning off a small hand
stone consists OF thirty penny cut nail

of a hard stick of timber to facilitate hold

A Dogs Parasol.

Queer things are occasionally to be
seen in Paris, but queerer sight thsn
that which witnessed this morning on
the Rue de la Paix it has rarely, if ever,
been my lot to behold. In taking my
morning walk, l met large white poodle,
shaved and clipped lion-fashion, who
wore a round, black velvet cap, coquet-
tishly placed on the side Of his curly
head. In his mouth he carried basket,
to the handle of which small ecru silk
parasol had been adroitly attached In such
a manner that in carrying the basket the
dog held the parasol over his head, and
SO shaded himself from the rays Of the
sun. 1t is impossible to describe the
gravity and aplomb of his dogship, MOI

and the passers-by at this novel spectacle

Hsw to Prepare Tomatoes.

There Is an ignorance which is far too
wide concerning the preparation of vege
tables for the table. They ought to have
cooking very simple and very perfect,
and the do not always get it. One of
the most delicious and healthful of sum-
mer foods Is the tomato, and it is also one
of the most abused. Raw, It is often
brought to the table cut up into unshape-
" Jumps with the skin still adhering to
them. Cooked, it generally appears merely
a watery red mess, interspersed with pieces
half done, hard and greenish in color.
The ideal dish of raw tomatoes is thus
prepared: Choose only those which are
large, comparatively smooth, firm, and
thoroughly red-ripe = it is an absurdity TO
offer small or immature specimens in a
salad, and if you can't find such jas are
here recommended, you must not attempt
to eat raw tomatoes. Put them in a tin
pan and pour over them boiling water,
mourning it off Immediately. This SO
loosens the skins that they can usually be
pulled off easily, without any violent ap-
plication of the knife. Then with very
sharp knife slice them across, discarding
the first piece, which has the hard base
of the stem, and the last piece, which Is
toe small. Make the slices thin rather
than thick, keep them large and whole,
and pile them carefully in layers in a
pretty dish, delicately sprinkling salt and
pepper over them. Then put them away
to get thoroughly cold in your cellar or
refrigerator. Prepared thus they are
simply ambrosial, and only pagan could
scorn them. If anybody wants to add
sugar and vinegar to the seasoning, that
can be done at table by the eater. Slices
of tile large yellow tomatoes scattered
among the red, sometimes make the dish
look very tempting.
For stewed tomatoes, peel as above, but
cut in pieces, not in slices. Put these in
two.quart tin basin or porcelain lined
saucepan, and add salt and just enough
water to keep them from burning. While
they are simmering comfortably throw in
very little pepper, good large piece of
nice butter, and enough fresh soda crack
er broken into small bits to thicken the
mixture, without making it like pud-
ding. 1t should be thin enough to run
easily from the spoon, and yet not be
wa,ery. This dish is also exquisitely in
viting. There are other methods of cook
ing Misunderstanding with rice, stuffing
and baking, etc.-but in no guise are they
so good as those described above.-West-
