ADVICE TO YoUNG MEN.-Ncvcr affect

or wiser. Never be ashamed to say IL don't
know" Never be ashamed to say, when ap-
piled to for time or money, 81 cannot afford
it," Once establish yourself and your mode
Of life as really what they are, and your foot
is on solid ground, whether for the gradual
step onward or the sudden spring over a
precipice. From these maxims we may de-.
duce another-lcarn to say "No," with de-
cision, whenever it meets temptation. Yes;
with caution whenever it implies promise.
A promise once given is bond inviolable.--
A man is already of some consequence in
the world when it is known that we can i'm
plicity rely upon him. How frequently in
life have we seen such man preferred to

charge; he has been lifted at once into sta.
tion and fortune, merely because he has
this reputation-that when he says that no
knows thing, he knows it and when he

The Turk may be cruel and vicious and un-
civilized, but it cannot in truth be said that
he is a coward. During the famous Crimean
war, the bravery and dash and brilliant
fighting of the turbaned infdels challenged
the admiration of the world N.Ah through
the insurrectionary struggles of the past
two years the fighting material of the Turk
has been thoroughly tested, and has been
proven to be of a superior and remarkable
quality. The religion Of a Mohammedan
makes him warrior. From infancy he
is taught to hate bitterly the Christian and
fight to the death for. the Crescent The
Mussulman faith opens wide the gates Of
eternal JOY to those who die in defense Of
its cause. This wonderful system ofsensual
fatalism led the Turk across the Bosphofus
in an attempt to make the Mohammedam

who writes from Nigo, Spain, says: In
the neighborhood of Einistcrrc, between tho
fishing villages of Bayona and Corunna, af-
ter stormy weather, pieces of wreck are
continually being washed up, and sometimes
the bodies of the drowned. A notable in

GApEs IN YOUNG FowLs.-In a recent
conversation with an experienced chicken
grower, he informed us that he had been
very successful in conqucring gapes in
young fowls by the application of air slaked
lime. AS soon as manifestation appears,
he confines his chickens in box, one at
time, sufficiently large to contain the bird,
and places coarse piece of cotton or linen
cloth over che top. Upon the top of this he
places tho pulverized lime, and taps the
screen sufficiently to cause the lime to fall
through. This lime dust the fowl inhalcs,
causing it to sneeze, and in short time the
cause of the gapes is thrown out in the
form of slimy mass or masses of worms,
which had accumulated in the windpipe and
smaller air vessels. This remedy he con-
sidcrs superior to any he has ever tried, and
he seldom fails to effect perfect cure.

HARD TIMES IN G GoTHAM.-SJay Charl-N

L noticed that men walked less hastily than
they did two or three years ago. They were
not rushing from store to score with fat wal
lets and importunatc accounts They
slouched easily along, with sort of sailors
roll, and seemed to have little to do. Boys
were no longer tacking to avoid brusque
men. Clerks stood in store windows twirl-
Ing their whiskers. Windows of gun and
pistol stores were not patronizcd by gaping
crowds of countrymcn. There was much
moving out of tenants, aud few pretty
damscls stood hesitating in front of photo
graphic galleries, wondering which artist
they would patronizc Pretty wagons were
displayed, but few were there to buy. In
front of some of the ribbon stores there were
lady gazer dra 'nz from purc curiosity
Stewards had no jam in front of its wide
doors. Mems clothes seemed poorer there
were ragged edges to vests, and boots, once
shiny, were sreyly overlapping their solos,
Perhaps girls frted more, because they had
nothing else to do; but the men who had
time to oslc them had no money for ice
cream saloons. The bars were not so bust
ling, and the cheap restaurants contained
oreotpr pup,hor ,f ,,o,>l, tb,, H.
ones. l thought there were fewer apple
stands. Button hole bouquets frightened
fewer larpcls, and the picture and music
stores were vacant. Where crowds wero
most to be expected, in the carpet and fur
niturc stores, there was lack of people
The old street, once crazy as bcdlam, was
almost as quiet as the streets of Southern
city. No grass grew among the stones, but
the sparrows had no one energetic enough
to disturb them while they were stealing
stray bits for their nests. 1t was evident
that we are living in hard times.

. How TO SELECT Coon FLoUR.-In Sc
lecting -four first look to the color. If it is
white, with a yellowish straw color tint, buy
it. If it is white with blush cast, or with
white specks in it, refuse it. Second, ex-
anime its adhesivness-wet and knead lit
tie of il between your fingers if it works
soft and sticky, it is poor. Third, throw a
little lump of dried -four against smooth
surface if it falls like powder, it is bad
Fourth, squeeze some of the -four tightly
in your hand if it retains the shape given
by the pressure, that, too, is good sign.
1t is safe to buy flour that will stand all
these tests. These modes are given by all

quite as heavy as any two year old one
in the United States, and they yield a
fleece twice as heavy as that of an
American sheep. This is caused by a
great quantity of turnips generally eaten
by sheep in that country, and attention
paid to them by shepherds, who feed
them in such systematic manner as to
make them eat as much as possible, while
farmers here contrive to keep sheep on
as little as possible. =,
Really it is astonishing how rapidly
sheep husbandry has progressed IN Eng
land during the last half century, tor,
when I was boy, there were no ma
chimes for cutting turnips, and they
were all eaten off as they had grown. A
relation of mine, who did business IN
Danbury, Oxfordshire, invented the first
good turnip cutter, and now no other
machine has been much of an improve
ment.-George Gardner, in Rusl Aew

The SUnnOwer.

P. r. Elliott, writes to the Country
Gentleman: "This plant produces
snowy flowers, and the seeds are of value
for making oil, and also as feed for horses
and poultry. The leaves are good fodder
for cattle, while the stems after seeding
may be gathered and used as excellent
fire kindlings. They contain large
amount of potash. It is said that an
acre will produce fifty bushels of seed,
and this beside being used for oil, or food
for horses and poultry, may be made into
bread. Of the quality of the bread 1
make no statement. The old single
lowered and the mammoth Russian are
the best when grown for seed, while the
perfectly double-fowered varieties make
good ornamental plants among shrub
berry. The flowers abound in food for
bees, and when bean-poles are not plenty
the stalk can be used for that purpose.
One single seed planted in the centre of
hill of beans held the bean vines for
the season."

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Late Beans and Peas.

The Germantown Telegraph has the
following suggestion on this subject:
There are few garden luxuries more
sought for than good peas and snap
short beans; but it is extremely rare
that people know what good peas and
beans are. The peas are generally as
hard as shot, and the beans have to be
chewed as if they were SO much tow,
although the cook may have stringed y
them before boiling. A good pea should
almost melt in the mouth like ice-cream,
or at least mash as easy as draw-butter;
and there is no reason why they may not
always be this way. AS for the bean,
there is no more reason for having
strings in it than there should be string
la roll of maccarOni.
In cool countries peas and beans are
almost always tender and nice !;
it is our hot soil that gives them the
tough tendency; but this is easily cor
rected by having deep soil and good rot
ten manure for them to grow in.
In old times a good part of the winter
in the regular gardens" where garden
ers were continually kept, it was the
practice to trench " piece of ground
every winter for particular crops. This
practice consists of turning up piece of
ground about two feet deep; in farm
practice. subsoiling. 1t is found that for
most crops this practice is unnecessary.
With good manure and ordinary digging
or blowing, the average of crops can be
we'll known. But not so with peas or
beans. To have have good tender stuff
the earth must be deeply loosened as
we'll as rich. This is important even for
spring and summer crops; but it is es-
sential for fall crops.
1t is generally said that it is useless to
try to have good peas and beans in this
country in the fall, and it is usually at
tempted; but in deep cool soil it is a
very different thing.
Good deep soil encourages the roots of
vegetables down into cool climate, in
which, in summer they luxurate. This
may not be good for trees, as we want
hard, solid wood and not luxurious
growth In vegetables it is just the re-
verse. We do not want hard fibre here,
but soft, tender succulence; and this is
what results from vegetable roots in
deep soil in hot weather.

TitanS and Men.

BLESSED are the meek" exclaims the
voice of inspiration, but can a man be meek
with the consciousness that dreaded mon
ster is consuming his vitals. We are not a
race of Titans. A Prometheus might stand
chained to the torturing rock with vulture
perpetually gnawing his liver, and his face
ever wear an expression of heroic and even
meek endurance. But Prometheus has left
no descendants. With vultures (disease)
consuming his liver, the modern man makes
himself and every one around him misera-
bic. tretful, gloomy, hypochondriacal, he
sees the world and life all on the wrong side
the dark side-and whoever dares to as
sert that there is a sunny SIDE he regards as
an enemy, or at best a mocker of his imag-
mary woes. Unlike the mythical Titan, the
victim of disease is not succorlcss There

You shall suffer; we shall share

The Colorado beetle has already COM
menced its ravages in the potato fields,
and no one can doubt that eternal vigil
lence is the price of the next potato
crop. The telegraph reports that in
Southern New Jersey they are more nu-
merous then ever before. A farmer at
Jones river, Ocean county, picked from
one potato sprout two hundred and thir-
ty-six.
With high-priced seed and the beetle
to fight, it is folly to attempt raising po-
tatoes in the old hap-hazard way. The
seed to start with, and the subsequent
warfare on the beetle, costs just as much
on a poor, half-cultivated patch as on
ground properly prepared and fertilized.
Deep and thorough cultivation in the
early part of the season is of great i'm
portance in making a bed suitable for the
young tubers to swell in; they will not
swell in hard ground; or if they do, they
are irregular in shape, puny, and of very
inferior quality. Let their restingplace
be a light and porous as possible, in or
der to have fully developed tuber.
A good dressing of salt and unleached
wood ashes once or twice in the growing
season is very beneficial. 1t is good
fertilizer as we'll as a preventive of the
white grub so prevalent in MANFRED
land. The proportions are one part salt
to five of ashes, and the amount a good
handful to the hill, applied dry.

Strawberry SALAD.-Pick, wash
drain and toss crisp, tender lettuce
leaves, shred them up fine in the salad
bowl, and pour over them some straw
berry juice, and serve at once.
BLACKBERRY WINE.-Measure berries
and bruise them; to every gallon add
one quart of boiling water; let stand
"A hours, stirring; then strain off liquor
into cask; to every gallon add two
pounds of sugar; fasten tight, and let
stand until the following October
SALERATUs.-The can be no doubt
that the free use of saleratus, so much
consumed in bread, is excessively inju-
rious to the human system. 1t is par
ticularly liable to induce muscular pros
tration or paralysis, and is sure to injure
the digestive organs. Of course it is
most fatal to children, whose delicate
organization is more sensitive than that
of grown persons.
BROILING MEATs.-When meats are
broiling on a gridiron over hot Goals, a
sudden heat applied sears the outside,
and shuts in the juices and a rapid ap-
plication of heat soon cooks the meat,

tender, juicy and palatable. Those who
never broil their fresh meat, fish or
poultry, do not know the excellence OF
a properly cooked disa of animal food.
STRAWBERRY GEM TARTs.-Make
large-sized gems in the usual manner
from fine Graham -four, being careful
not to bake them too hard. When done
let them stand ten or fifteen minutes to
steam, then splint open and fill each
half with strawberries with or without
sugar, add a spoonful of strawberry
Juice sweetened, if it will hold SO much,
and serve at once.

three eggs, one pint of flour. Separate
the eggs, beat the yolks until light, and
mix with milk and stir into the foul

and yolks lightly. Butter small cups;
fill them half full of the mixture, and
