How to Cook Vegetables and Other
Garden 6 Sass"

THERE is no branch of cookery appar-
emily SO simple, yet requiring SO much
care and judgment as the preparation OF
summer vegetables; no articles IF food
more subject to abuse than they, and
none that become more unpalatable and
tremendously indigestiblc from i'll treat
ment.
Now that the summer is in reality be
gun it is of the utmost importance that
the diet should be in accordance with the
season. The appetite Graves cooling food
and pleasing fav0rs, - in winter the de-
sire was for richer and more carb0naccous
articles.
While fruits and vegetables are not in
themselves sufficient to satisfy hunger and
repair the waste of tissue, many Of them
are rich in strength giving qualities and
possess properties that are especially ben
ef1cial 10 the system.
Very early vegetables are generally I'M
Wholesome, for they have been either
shrivelled and wilted by being brought
from distance, or have been forced into
unnatural forwardness, and hence are
wholly lacking in nutritive qualities and
are comparatively tasteless.
Vegetables are in perfection when in
full season, and will require much less
time for cooking while fresh, than after
being kept. When wilted they are wholly
worthless, for much of their goodness lies
in their natural moisture, and The evap0-
ration of this fluid renders them not only
unpleasant to the eye, but unwhOlesOme
and unpalatable - we'll.
Let your vegetables then DO perfectly
fresh and Of medium size. Wash and

Very little cutting should be done the first
summer. An asparagus bed will last for
q lifetime. 80 it will pay for little labor

following manner: Dig a narrow pit
twelve inche, deep, throwing the earth all
out on one side. From near the bottom of
this pit dig trench of the length of one
or two joints of stOvepipe at such an an.
gle as will bring the end away from the
pit to the surface Of the ground. Over
the end of this pipe set common flour

and having removed both heads, bank up
all around il with the loose earth, SO that
no smoke can escape at the bottom.
Hang in the hams, shoulders, etc., using
something like q broom handle to run
through the strings. Putting cover on
top of the sticks will leave space enough
for draught, to let the smoke pass freely.
Build smoke fire of corn cObs, damp,

you will have cheap, safe and efficient

LIp-Reading.

A GOOD many years ago, when the &C
cOmplished daughter of q ell-knOwn
gentleman of this city was a little girl,
she was taken i'll with scarlet fever, and
when she recovered was stone deaf. FOR.
tunately the child, who possessed re-
markedly sweet voice, had learned 10 talk
before the attack, and the physician who
attended her, finding that her sense of
hearing had entirely gone, cnjoined upon
the mother the necessity of carefully keep
ing up the habit of speech, in order that
it should not be totally lost. From that
time out the mother devoted herself to the
preservation of her daughters voice, al
most to the exclusion of everything else,
and the successful issue of her undertake
ing has proved an ample reward for her
labors. The young lady is now not only
an accomplished member of society, but
an excellent artist, we'll known among the
painters of New York. Her education
was so carefully attended to by her moth
er that she not only talks well, but un-
derstands everything that is said to her
by simply watching the lips of her inter-
lOcutOr. On one occasion an eminent
clergyman of this city called to see her
mother, and was received by the young
lady. After some fifteen minutes the
mother presented herself, and the young
lady retired. Presently the conversation
turned upon the daughter, and the
mother said something about her in
trinity" The clergyman, who had seen
nothing to indicate any lack of percep-
ton in the young lady, and who had no
noticed any physical defect, was surprised,
and asked what was meant. The mother
then explained that her child was stone
deaf. The clergyman was lOath to be-
lieve it, and almost demanded further
proof of the fact. The young lady was
then called, and it was proven to his en-.
tire satisfaction that she could not under
stand single word that was spoken un-
less she saw the motion of the lips which
uttered it. Like the deaf girl described
in Wilkic Collins novel of Hide and
Seek, }" she lie singularly susceptible to any
vibration of the timbers of the room or
house in which she may be, and her unoth-
er has established system of telcgraphy
with her by means Of the doors and bal
listers, by which she can communicate
with her throughout the whole house. BY
simply striking the balustcr or door with
the open hand her parents can apprise her
that her presence lie desired in particular
room or part of the premises, and, by
notifications of the raps, can inform her
of many of the minor affairs that are TAX
ing place. Although her father has q
handsome competence, this young lady
earns enough for her own support in the
pursuit of her art.-N. Y. World. =

seen so much at one time), and before me
on the table lay more money which was
mine. Something seemed to exult in me,
but another feeling seemed to tear the
money from my hand, and l could have
willingly resigned my life. There stood
the man whom had SO hated, and for
Whose sake / could have done evil to all
mankind, hcaping Goals Of fire ON my
head by this unexpected kindness and
generosity. There was no self abasement,
only manly acknowledgment of his
unjustness. A violent internal conflict
waged between evil and good, and the
right conquered. A higher than mans
power had battled with me, and thrown
me bruised before the tribunal Of the AL

my genuine repentance, and comforted
me with assurances of forgiveness. There
remained a harder thing yet to overcome,
and that was to keep him from prescott

passport to his home, and forbidden ever
to enter our city again. There remains
little to be told. My engagement with
Catherine wal celebrated with great pomp
in the house of the Finanzrath. How
ever, before I left the bank my little
bank book was burned.
The Rath became a true friend to me,
and assisted me to establish myself here,

POISONOUS rOGwOoD is name improp-
erly given, in some parts of the United
States, to the rhus vesnenata, species Of
poisonous sumach. It is sometimes called
poison elder. It is neat, graceful shrub,
growing from six to eighteen feet high,
and is found in swamps from Canada to
Louisiana: The young shoots are purple,
or green clOuded with purple, and marked
ish; the leaves have seven to thirteen leaf
lets, which are dark green. pointed and
entire on the margins the greenish yellow
the greenish. white fruit hangs in loose
and remains after the leaves have fallen !;
the juice is milky, and dries to black
varnish. This hes poisonous qualities
which are virulent. It's effect is an acute
eczematous Inflammation of the skin,
often accompanied with much swelling.
The poison ivy or poison oak, in some
places called mercury vine, the t0xicoden-
dron group of the b0tanists, includes two
species, with white or dun colored berries
in loose panicles, and highly poisonous
foliage. It has leaves of three leaflets,
which are rhOmbic Ovate, and vari0usly
notched, l0bed, OF even entire; its flowers
are in loose, slender, axillary panicles; the
smooth fruit is pale brown. 1t il found
nearly all over the country, and especial
~ In moist and shady places, and presents
two forms, one erect and the other climb
ing. It chambers over rocks and fences,
and by means Of aerial ro0tlets ascends
the trunks Of the taliest trees, and adheres
with great pertinacity. When wounded
it exudes . milky juice. which becomes
black on exposure to the air, and upon
fabrics makes stain indelible by all or.
binary solvents. The leaves, taken inter-
nally, promote the secretiOns Of the skin
and kidneys. This plant Is highly poison
GUS to some persons. MANY can handle
these plants without any unpleasant re-
suits, while others are seriously affected
by touching them or even passing near
them. The poisonous properties are due
to volatile acid, which has been called
toxicondendric.
Many remedies are employed for poison
ing BY these plants, some Of which viii
have beneficial effect on some persons,
while on others have no effect at al.

The same may be said Of sweet oil. There
has been remedy employed in some Of
the New England States that has been
claimed to be efectual. It was this, the
TIT Of the common black snake (6asc01j0n
