..PErrESarIL's NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY AND
ADVERTISERS HANDBOOK" recently publlshed
by Messrs. s. NJ Pettengil d Co, advertising 9
agents, 81 Park Row, New York City, Is an eie-
CANT volume, and bears upon Its face the I'M
press Of honest. careful, and thorough work
In these DAYS of books issued in the interest OF
Legitimate advertising schemes and special
newspaper lists or which have for their object
the filching of money both from advertiser and
publisher, we are glad to welcome publication
which, unswerved by self-interest, attempts TO
deal Justly with all parties. Correct informa-
ton In regard to the character and circulation
OF the numerous publications Of this country Is
difficult to obtain but with superior advantages
and earnest labor Mr.. Pettengill has produced
book that viii be found of great assistance To
advertisers and all who need such Information
in the prosecution of their business 1t has
now been nearly thirty years since Mr. Petten-
gill began business as an advertising agent he
was the pioneer of the business The press OF
the country was a small interest compared with
what it now is, and there was very little sys-
tematic advertising being done. 1t was Mr.
Pettengllls idea to bring about an understand
ing between the business men of the country
and the publishers; to show the advertiser
that legitimate newspaper advertising was the
cheapest and best way of bringing his wares
before the public; and the publisher, that In
all proper ways he should regard the interests
of the advertiser. He thus aided both- and
placed both under obligation. How successful
Mr.. Pettengill was is best shown by the I'M
mense business establishment he has built up,
and the high esteem in which he Is held both
by advertisers and publishers the country over.
Since he entered into the business great many
rivals have come into the field Many have
failed, involving both publishers and advertisers
in their disaster. Others, with youth, energy,
and capital have succeeded in establishing
more or less prosperous business but in the

The Turk at PRAYER.

Twelve O'Clock is the hour of prayer
The call of the Wuezzin is heard from
every minaret of the hillside and of the
valley beyond, and the faithful, most
numerous in the laboring class, respond
TO the summons, leaving their work or
business to rub their hands and feet
with earth in Gefault of water, accord
ing to the injunctions of the Koran.
The writer, on one of his tours of obser-
walton, came to a hillock covered with
fresh blades of grass and tangled wild
flowers; ii stands back from the path :
way, and poor workman chooses the
spot to perform there his Rdmd< without
interruption. He has no prayer carpet /;
he simply turns towards Mecca and be-
gins his devotions. Every change of
attitude in the Mussulman prayer has a
special meaning, being accompanied by
pious phrases and calculations; it may
therefore be interesting to note his
movements, although the murmured
words are, of course, quite inaudibie.
He stands at first upright, with his arms
hanging down, and his bare feet little
apart; next the hands are raised open,
on each side of the face, the thumbs
touching the lobe of the ear; this is the
introduction. The worshiper begins
prayer by placing his hands together,
the right uppermOst; then bows low
from the waist, his hands slightly
spread upon his knees, then raises HIM
self for a moment and afterwards kneels
down, and, with his hands on the
ground before him, touches it with his
nose and forehead; without rising he
then sinks backwards, (this bowling is
performed twice. after which he rises
in one movement,-his feet still remain
Ing on the same spot,-and stands again,
his right hand clasping his left, and all
previous attitudes are repeated four or
five times. At one period of his deyo-
tiOns, the worshipeE, sitting back, turns
his head first over the right shoulder
and then over the left, with murmured
salutations, supposed TO be addressed to
to the good and evil angels of his des-
tiny; finally he stands holding his hands
before his face as if reading, then gently
strokes face and beard, and the namas
is completed; the poor man slips on his
worn old shoes, and sitting down begins
to eat his dinner-a large 1umpof coarse
dry bread.-Tenlple Bar.

Artificial Ripening Of Fruit.

Just at this time the banana traue l.
the feature of the fruit business, anu
dealers are handling large quantitles oi
the West-India product, OF when sew
eral cargoes have lately been received
The fruit is not always ripe when
brought here, and to hasten what wouiu
otherwise be left TO time 10 accomplish,
a firm OH Pratt street have adopted the
West-India plan of using rlpenlhg-
house. which they have just construe-
ted and which is the only one III the
city It has been found that frult
rinened i'm this way is really superior
to that which arrives at maturity IN the
nsnaI manner. and that it retains
freshness and flavor not found In time
rinened bananas. The process used by
the firm named is an interesting one
and merits a description: Two arge
rooms were partitioned on III their
warehouse, in the construction Oh whi1n
the main object was that they shouiu
be perfectly dark and as near alr tight
as possible. Stringers, with HOOKS 70
hang the punches on, were placeu
across the room, and gas attachments
made TO heating pipes which give OUT
no light. Thermometers were theh
placed in different parts of the room,
and the green fruit having been hung
inside and the proper temperature Oo-
tanned, the rooms are closed tlghtIy
only to be opened TO inspect tne CON
dition of the fruit. In short time the
green banana begins TO turn white at
the stem. and in a few days the entlre
bunch assumes the same color, retaining
its firmness. and is then ripe and ready
for market. The operation Is a very
neat one, and requires care to prevent
the fruit being subjected to too much
or too little heat The firm have about
two thousand punches of fruit under
going the process now, one bunch oil
which is five feet long and holds about
two hundred and thirty bananas, the
shortest of which is five and a hall and
the longest eleven and quarter inches
in length. Baltimore american.

PROFITABLE STOCK BREEDING.-It IS
an undeniable factthat one of the great
est elements of success in stock breed
ing, lies in careful and judicious feeding.
We often publish statements of enor-
nous weights attained at given age,
by cattle, hogs, and other kinds of farm
stock, as an illustration of the superb
ority of good blood over scrub stock !;
but we should never lose sight of the
fact that these very satisfactory results
are attained only by men who have good
stock and by no others. Good blood is
unquestionably essential as founda-
ton; but unless this be supplemented
by care, attention, and generous feeding
on the part of the breeder, the result is
anything but satisfactory, no matter
how excellent the stock may be In point
of breeding. This is especially true of
many of our improved breeds of domes-
tic animals. They are usually the pro-
duct of many generations of careful
selection and generous feeding, very
greatly removed from the original type,
and wholly unused to shifting for them
selves; hence, if they or their produce
be subjected to neglect, put upon scanty
fare, and exposed to cold, chilly rains,
and driving, piercing snow-storms. it
cannot be expected that they will thrive
equally as well as when under gener-
GUS feeding and proper shelter.
1t is high time that farmers generally
should understand that it does not pay
10 keep more stock on the farm than can
be well fed and well cared for. One
cow well fed and properly protected
from inclement weather, will give more
milk during the winter months than
three of the half-starved, half-frozen
animals so often found upon the prem
ises of even "well-to-do'' farmers. A
half-dozen well bred pigs, pushed from
the time they are week old, will make
more pounds of pork, and bring more
per pound at nine months old, than the
same number of rooters, kept half
starved until they are eighteen months
old, and then fattened for the market.
A grade of thoroughbred steers well fed
from birth up to two years old, will
weigh more at that age than one kept
in balf-starved condition, up to the
same age, can ever be made to weigh,
no matter how long he may be kept.
These are facts which the experience
OF every intelligent farmer will sub
stantiate. and it is strange chat they are
not more generally recognized.
Nothing is more certain and no fact
in rural economy has been more COM
pletely demonstrated by experience,
than that ii pays to keep good stock and
10 keep it well. The very best attain
able blood is TO be desired. and must be
used if the most profitable results are to
be reached; but, TO use very express
siye phrase, the best of breeds are won
derfully improved by the use of the big
corn crib and warm barn cross-a cross
that must be constantly resorted TO by
all who would make stock raising pro-
fitable, and in default of which the best
of breeds will rapidly deteriorate.-

OATMEAL JELLY.-Soak half pint of
good oatmeal in one and half pihts of
water. In the morning drain off the
water through a sieve, adding to it one
and half pints hot water, and put it
to boil over a quick fire. Stir till it
boils, then set il back and let IL simmer
ten minutes. Turn it into molds, and
in fifteen minutes it will be set suffl-
ciently TO turn into ssucers, and will be
warm enough to eat. Serve at once
with milk or sweetened fruit-syrup.

DOES GRAIN DETERIoRATE. Why
not? Our scientists tell US that after all
there is not so much difference between
animal and vegetable life as some think.
We know that even in our generation
half-starved animal will deteriorate.
and that three or four generations of
such treatment will dwarf and decrease
any race of animals. Is it not probable
that under the same or similar circum-
stances, grain will deteriorate not only
in quantity but also in quality? No one
will deny that such treatment will de-
crease the yield of the crop. but many
deny that it will either injure the vital
ity of the seed or In any way effect the
crop produced from this seed. If the
crop is supplied with the proper kind
of food, properly worked and cared for,
we do not believe that il will deterior-
ate any more than an animal. We know
of instances where the same corn has
been cultivated for thirty years on the
same farm, and still so far from dete-
riOratiDg has increased in production
and value. Ii is firm belief with many
(and facts seem TO support it, that seed
taken from a thin, barren soil, and
planted in rich and productive one,
will produce better than seed which
had been grown there for several gen
erations.

The Dirinq BeI.-M. TOsselh states
that he has been making experiments
with his submarine vessel. or marine
MOLE" as he calls it. He is struck with
the correspondence of many of the
phenomena to those observed in bal
looming, and considers that it is at the
bottom of the sea that the problem of
erial navigation will be solved. In a
liquid mass which is still, the machine
moves quite well in obedience TO the
screw propeller. which is driven by the
hand. But if the vessel meets cur
rent, it is vain to think of contending
with it. Another difficulty, as in bal
looms, is in OrientatiOn. Once n balloon
has got to some distance from the
earth, it becomes impossible TO tell the
direction in which it is going. The
needle Is useless. And, similarly, in
the marine MOLE" when it is only
0.3s of an inch under the surface, and
nothing is seen in motion but the fish,
the compass is found of no use. To go
TO certain point, an artificial meridi
an has TO be arranged outside. NJ.
Tosselli remarks. too. on the great dis
tinctness with which sounds are heard.
At depth of 10 feet, the screw of

mole as if directly overhead. The con
trivance of NJ. TOsselli, affording as it
does a novel opportunity of observa-
ton, may furnish some instructive data
IN physics.

OATMEAL MUsH.-To three-quarters
OF boiling water add one level teaspoon
full of salt and one quart of good oat-
meal, stirring while the latter is poured
in slowly. Let it stand where it will
boil gently, and stir it occasionally for
ten minutes, or until the meal is evenly
diffused through the water. Then cover
close and place where it will barely
simmer for one hour. Do not stir il
during that time. Serve warm, messing
it as little as possible.
