A Man Living Five Years with a

Correspondent of the n. Y Sun.
/ read in the San an account of man
living eighteen hours with a broken
neck. | know of a SIMILAR case, which
may be of some interest to your readers
Mr.. Arthur Miller. young English
gentleman, dove from vessel into shall
low water off Fire Island five years years
ago. His head was transfxed in the
mud; wave at the same time
striking him, bent his body COM
pletely over, dislocating the fifth
cervical vertebra. He was taken
from the water unconscious and total
paralysis existed below the dislocation,
caused by the pressure of the bone on the
spinal cord. His mental faculties were
retained in full. He has been gradually
regaining his motive power, but is still
unable to walk without assistance. He
uses his arms very well, and can support
himself while sitting. The theory of the
improvement is that the spinal cord is
becoming accustomed to the pressure of
the bone, which has knit where it moved,
and, thereby the recovery is slowly yet
surely progressing. He is still under
treatment at West End Baths, Long
Branch, where every slight improvement
is noticed with the deepest interest by
many who have watched for it from the
first. His complete recovery is the ulti-
matum hoped for. / do not believe there
is another case of the kind on record.

FARM AND HOME.
Budding Fruit Trees.

There are two well-established methods
now in very general use among experts
in fruit culture, for changing or multi
plying varieties of the same class on the
same tree, and both of these are simple
and inexpensive. The first of these is
known as grating, and is only practiced
ON the larger trees, and always in the
spring before the foliage is developed.
The other method, which is much more
rapid, and quite as sure when properly
done, is budding, and the time for doing
this extends from the middle IF July
until the first of September Whenever
the bark separates easily from the wood,
the buds may be set with fair chance of
success. The outfit for budding consists
of some narrow strips of bass mating,
such as comes on the inside of coffee
bags, and a pocket-knife with a single
blade, with small piece of ivory fasten-
ed in the end of the handle. When the
incision is made the ivory is used to raise
the bark up on either side, so that the
bud may be pressed into place. The
buds to be inserted should be cut from
young, healthy trees, and always of the
present years growth, those that are
most matured being selected. The
leaves may then be clipped off the branch
of buds, leaving say half an inch of the
leaf stalk attached to the bud Then
with sharp knife cut off each bud sepa-
rately from half to three-quarters of
an inch in length, leaving thin slice of
wood back of the eye or bud. These
should be kept moist and protected from
the sun or air until set; exposure even
for short time may prove fatal.
When the whole top or any part of it
is to be budded over, select the spot for
each bud in smooth part of the branch,
not too large, say from one to two
inches in diameter. On this part make
an incision through the bark in the form
of the capital letter T, and raise or sepa-
rate the bark from the wood with the
ivory on the handle of the knife. The
bud may then be pressed into place, cut
ting off square the portion that goes above
the cross incision. Then, with strip of
the bass mating, wrap firmly around
the branch above and below the eye,
fastening the end of the strip by a slip
knot. This completes the operation,
which can be successfully done, even by
novice, in less time than it takes to de-
scribe it.-P. T. Quinn; Midsummer
Holiday Scribner"

ONLY

Ii is only a broken doll,
That found by chance to-day,
BATTERED. and shapeless, and torn,
And carelessly thrown away
And Won would hardly dream
That this idle senseless thing
Could have the power to move me 50,
And with sorrow my heart to wiring.
So well l recall the day
When this same doll was new,
And brought delight to the little heart,
With mother-instinct true.
And think, with weary pain,
of the childish noise and glee,
And how OFT was vexed impatient and tired
And failed all the good to see.
o. could but surely know
That my sins were forgiven above,
That my little child, if she thinks of me there
Thinks OF ME only with Lowell
Could l but see the gardens fair
Where her tender feet have strayed
But | only can see the daisies white
That grow where my darling is laid.
God pity the mothers hearts
That ache with loss tonight?
And teach us all to read with faith
His hardest lessons Alright!
1t is only broken heart
That bear on the wings OF my prayer
To the throne of a tender, plying love
May it find acceptance there!

The Jetty system.

Gen. Beauregard, in long letter to
the New Orleans Times, pins his faith to
Capt. Ead's jetties at the South Pass of
the Mississippi. He does not share the
apprehensions entertained by many per-
sons that the jetties will not stand the
destructive effects of the teredo, which
is terrible enemy to all wood structures
in the waters Of the Gulf. He says the
mattresses of which the jetties are made
are ballasted with a layer of broken
stones, which, stopping the current,
causes the sediment to deposit in all the
interstices, not only of the mattresses
themselves, but of the stone covering,
thus preventing the teredo from reach
ing the mattresses and burrowing into
the willows of which they are made.
The teredo cannot live in the wood that
is covered with sand or mud; it requires
free access of salt water to thrive, and
the harder the wood the easier it bur
rows into it; fibrous, spongy wood, like
the palmetto, is never attacked by it.

THE SWING.

Now in the sun and now in the shade,
Floats fair Adelaide, smiling and swinging;
While we lie in the cool green glaze,
Filling the air with our laughter ringing
Up in the sky and down in the earth,
Backward and forward the swing is gianeingi
All is sunshine and joy and mirth,
While gaily the rosy hours are dancing.
Ah fair Adelaide, so in life,
Up and down from joy to sorrow;
The world looks on with envy rlfe,
Nor dreams that the swing may break Tomorrow
From life to death the pendulum swings,
Time with his scythe the flowers mowing;
Enjoy the day while youths laughter rings,
And be gay while yet the swing is going. .

Stalking Tomato Plants.

Stake your tomato plants now, before
they fall over and go sprawling along the
ground. Drive stout stake four or five
feet high, close to each plant, with two
or three cross-pieces foot long, nailed
on it. Nip off every lateral branch that
starts from the main stalk, above the
leaves, and tie the plant to the stake as
it grows, with coarse Irvine. For early
fruit, select three or four of the most
forward plants, and pinch off not only
all the laterals, but the main stalk, few
inches above the first cluster of blossoms.
You thus divert all the vigor of the
plant into one cluster of fruit, anC can
ripen tomatoes two or three weeks ahead
of the other plants. We have had
twenty-four fine Trophies" making a
cluster as large as one could cover with
a hat, ripening the most of them in July,
by this process. Under favorable condi-
lions of soil and culture, on the single
stalk system, tomato plants will grow
five or six feet high, and ripen as many
clusters of cleaner, better in
flavor, larger and earlier.

Household Hints.

TOMATO MEAT PIE.-Cover the bot
tom of pudding dish with bread
crumbs, then make layer of cold roast
ed mutton chopped fine, then layer of
tomatoes sliced, then another layer of
bread crumbs, another of meat, and
another of tomatoes, then cover with
bread crumbs and bake until the crust
is done brown; season as you put the
different layers in with salt, pepper, and
small pieces of butter; it will bear high
seasoning. Serve hot.
BAKERS GRAHAM BREAD.-Make a
sponge as for white bread with wheat
flour, say one square of compressed
yeast to two quarts of water; when light,
make up the dough with Graham -four
and one-half a teacupful molasses, let it
stand to rise again then make up the
loaves with the hsnds, and when light
bake.
To WASH CoRDURoY.-Pin the gar
ment to the clothes-line and beat the
dust out of it with rattan then wash in
water prepared with the Magical mix
ture, rinsing in three separate waters;
if the corduroy is white, add "a little
bluing to the last ringe. Better to be
dried quickly in the wind.
STEwED MUsHRooMs.-Wi the
mushrooms clean and white with wet,
soft cloth; cut off the stalks; use a porce-
lain saucepan for cooking; have cold
water enough to cover the mushrooms,
and sew slowly for Is minutes; salt to
taste; add one tablespoonful of butter
first mixed through little four-for
every quart of mushrooms; let simmer
three or four minutes; beat up two
tablespoonfuls cream with one egg; stir
this in and let simmer two minutes long
er. Serve hot.
TOMATO CATsUP.-For four or five
quarts of catsup boil one peck of ripe
tomatoes Is minutes without removing
the skins, and strain through a sieve !;
put into little bag one teaspoonful of
whole cloves, one tablespoonful of ground
cinnamon, alspice, and black pepper, and
put these with pint of good vinegar
into the strained tomatoes, and boil the
whole carefully from three to five hours;
when sufficiently boiled and condensed
stir in one tablespoonful of ground mus
tard and one teaspoonful of ground cay
enne pepper, salt to taste, and keep in
well-corked bottles. This catsup will
keep for years.
GERMAN PUFFs.-Six eggs, leaving
out the whites of three beat thoroughly,
then add two tablespoonfuls melted but
ter, one pint sweet milk and five table
spoonfuls flour; bake in cups half full
For sauce, the whites of six eggs, beaten
lightly; add one coffeecupful of powdered
sugar and the juice of two oranges, turn
the puffs from the cups into platter an6
pour the sauce over them. To be eater
as soon as done, as, like all batter, it is
likely to fall.
