Horrid Heather Customs.

A correspondent writes as follows from
Port Of Spain, Trinidad, West Indies: I
saw a sight a man might never see in his
life, and one that I don't want to see
again-it WAS horrible. A sight that you
hear about at home, but you hardly think
it is true nevertheless, I've seen it with
lly W eyes. Itfwas that great religious
holiday Of the native East Indies Coolies.
They look like demons, entirely naked,
tattoed, long hair. rings in their ears,
noses, toes, arms and ankles. About forty
keep beating on tom-toms (drums.) and all
yelling. A mar dances forward, kneels.
puts out his tongue as far as possible an
other Ia priest) takes a piece of blunt steel
and jams il, through his upper lip, tongue
and lower lip, and leaves it there, and that
fellow danced with. the steel through his
lips and tongue for all hour or two; then
they pulled it out. Tfef - fa
Imagine. if you can. how that hurt but
the fellow never moved a muscle, never
WINGED, not a groan or cry, either when
they put it through or pulled it out. They
did the same to a girl. Then half a dozen
or more men had tLeir bodies pierced;
first, they cut a hole on each side ana then
jobbed a piece of steel right through not
d cry from one all the while the rest sing
and dance, and tom-toms play raising a
terrible row Then came the ceremony of
walking through fire. There is an oblong
place marked out on the ground, about ten
feet by twenty, the grass dug out and, a,
large fire of logs built in the middle. It
burned from twelve O'Clock to FIVE four
Coolies kept.stirring it all the while with
long poles. .sHasIsnasI sss.s
When the logs were burnt to red hot
Goals they were raked down all over this
place to the depth Of about three inches.
Then the procession marched up with
their "gods," tom-toms and bells, and the
first man who had his lips pierced, carry
ing a golden cup in his hand, naked, long
hair in curls down his back, painted like a
demon, and singing, danced actually
Though that fire, not fast either; he went
through it slowly; then about ten walked
through, and the rest, some of them women
with babies on their shoulders, hurried
through. I hurried away home; didn't
sleep much that night.

The Oyste rs Enemies.

Oysters have their enemies as well as
men here. There are certain monsters of
the vastly deep Of the fish kind, that live
upon oysters and destroy many beds of
private planting. The dr. UNI fish is one of
these destroying enemies, and an old
sea captain, who has weathered many a
storm, says "the drum is the wickedest
and most %audacious Of all. He is a big
coarse fish, sometimes weighing as much
as ninety pounds. His teeth are very, strog
and mash up whole oysters without the
least difficulty. Drum fish travel in schools
and frequent all the oyster grounds along
the Chesapeake bay. Fortunately, how
ever they do not visit one locality regularly,
but come and go like al epidemic, general
ly appearing in the autumn months, They
get their name from the noise they make,
which sounds like a heavy muffied drum"
Old oyster-men say they can be heard some
times beating a re gular tattoo under the
bottom of the vessle, After destroying
an oyster bed they have been known to
make IN attempt to masticate the barna-
Giles on the 'schooners. They are very de-
structive in their depredations, and have
caused the loss of thousands of dollars.
Another %yirulent antagonist of the unof-
Tending oyster is the lively crab, who s'goes
for 'em" tooth and nail. He watches his
opportunity, and swhen the object of his
desire commences to feed, begins the onset
by throwing sand in his mouth. While
the oyster is vainly striving to escape the
discontinue caused by this novel mode of
warfare, the crab seiZes each half Of the
shell and pulls it apart as nimbly as would
a dexterous "shucker.
The star fish is another oyster enemy,
but is seldom found in Virginia waters.
They are of a reddish color and look some
what like a sea spider. Their modus ope-
randi is as follows: A school will settle
down upon a bed, each fish getting on an
oyster and surrounding it with his feelers.
Then he will walt patiently until the
oyster commences to feed, when he quietly
reaches i'll with his fingers and pulls him
out. He then mounts on the top Of anoth-
er, and as patiently hidea his time for a
fresh pull, II IS very rare that an oyster
bed is found without one or two star fish
in it, but a large school will frequently sail
in, destroy a bed and leave one near to it
untouched. Their %depredations are COM
mitted in the winter. but as stated before,
they are rarely found in the Chesapeake or
it's tributaries. But Of al the enemies an
oyster has, maj i the worst-Capt. Henry
Josephss 70 the contrary Notwithstanding.

is 1t worth while that We jostle a brother
Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
Is 1T worth while that we jeer at each other
In blackness of heart?-that we war to the knife.
God pity us all in our pitiful strife!
God pity us all as we jostle each other;
God pardon lis all for the t%riunphs we feel
When a fellow goes down meath his load on the
heather
Pierced tothe heart: words are keener than steel
And mightier fan for woe or for weal.&
Were it not well, In this brief little journey,
On over the isthmus, down into the tide,
We give him a fish instead OF a serpent,
Ere folding the handsto be and abide
Forever an aye in dust at his sidee
Look at the " Uses saluting each other;
Look at til herds all at peace on the plain;
Man. and man only, fnakes war on his brother,
And laughs in his heart at his peril and pain;
Shamed by the beasts that 60 down on the plain,
Is it worth while that re battle to humble
Some poor fellow soldier down into the dust?
God pity us all! Time it soon will tumble,
All of us together, like leaves in a gust,
Humbled indeed, down into the dust.

A R N FIREslDE.

ICEs.-The making of ices is not at all
difficult. The main point is to freeze them
quickly, so that they will be smooth and
firm when taken from the freezer. Lemon
ice, the favorite, is made by taking the
juice of six lemons and the greater peel of
three, and the juice and rind of one large
sweet orange. Steep all together one hour,
and then strain and add one pint of water
and one pint Of sugar. Stir well until all
Of the sugar is dissolved, and then freeze.
If you open your freezer three times dur
ing the operation, and stir up the contents
well it will improve the result. For
orange ice, take the juice of six oranges
and the grated rind Of three, and the juice
of two lemons, with the same proportion of
sugar and water; prepare and freeze as
lemon ice. Pineapple ice requires for a
similar amount the sugar and the express
ed juice of one pineapple, and the juice
and grated peel of one lemon. For straw
berry ice the juice of one quart or berries
added to n pint of sugar and a half a
pint of water makes a most satisfactory
delicacy. But one of the most delicious
ices is made by putting together the juice
of one quart of red currants and a pint of
red or white rasberries. To these add one
and a half plnts Of water, and freeze.
Apple ice is good when made from the
juice of finelyfiavored ripe pippins, and
the juice of pears sweetened and frozen is
most delicious.

GOOD CORN BREAD AND PUDDING.-
The same money will purchase two or
three times as much nourishment in corn
meal as it will buy in wheat flour, and it
is a matter of economy to use as much of
the former as can be made palatable. Few
corn-bread recipes will give as continued
satisfaction a. follows: One quart Of
sweet milk, one teaspoonful of cooking
soda, one t%eacupful of molasses, two tea
spoonfuls of salt, four %teacupfuls of fine
corn meal, and from three to four teacup-
fuls of wheat flour; mix we'll together, and
bake slowly for an hour or more. Itkeeps
moist for several days, and is relished by
most persons. The proportion of flour and
meal may be varied to suit the liking.
The above preparation, cooked in a
steamer, makes a good pudding, to be
eaten with cream or milk and sugar, or
butter alone.

RAISED DoUGHNUTs.-Take a quart of
sponge for bread after it is light, a pint of
warm water, two eggs, a %teacupful of su-
gar, a pinch of salt, a ~teaspoonful Of ground
cinnamon, and three ~tablespoonfuls of lard
Or fried pork gravy; mix this well, and
mold in flour the same as for bread. Let
the dough stand until light then cut in
any shape, and fry in hot lard. They are
lighter if cut in strips and then twisted
than it cut with a ~cake-cutter. The GUAM
.tity of sponge used need not be measured
a little practice enables one to tell the
amount sufficiently near. Lard is better
to shorten them with than butter. They
can be made without sugar occasionally;
and it makes an agreeable change. These
make prime breakfast cakes with coffee.
STEAMED APPLE PUDDING.-Pare and
quarter ten or twelve apples; put them in
a porc~elain-lined kettle, with a little water
say a gill make a crust as for biscuit, and
cover the apples, closing the kettle so that
no steam can escape. Cook it about twen-
ty minutes. Eat with sauce, or with but
ter and sugar.
To MAKE BEER.-Take twenty drops
each of oil of sassafras, oil of spruce, and
oil of wintergreen pour two quarts of boil
ing water on the oils, then add eight quarts
of cold water, a quart Of molasses or it's
equivalent of sugar, and a half a pint of
yeast. Let it stand two hours, then bottle
and cork tightly.
"PUFFs" OR "GEMs.'>-A pint of -four.
a pint Of milk, an egg, and a little salt.
Beat the mixture hight, and bake on topof
the fire for a few minutes before going into
the oven. Graham. or corn meal can be
used instead, adding two t~abaespoonfuls of
-four with the corn meal.
