"A clergyman, while composing a
sermon, made use of the words "osten-
tatious man." Throwing down his pen
he wished to satisfy himself ere he pro-
ceeded as to whether a great portion
of his congregation might comprehend
the meaning of these words, and he
adopted the following method of proof;
Ringing the bell the footman appeared,
and was thus addressed by his master:
"What do you conceive to be implied
by an ostentatious man?' can osten-
tatious man, sir" said Thomas why,
sir, l should say aperfect gentleman"
Every good,n observed the vicar,

agine an ostentatious man to be?' "An
ostentatious man, sir,' replied Ellis
"why, | should say an ostentatious man

ence, very jolly fellow" 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the vicar substi-
tuted less ambiguous word.

What Is the "BaIsa"!

That was no doubt question in the
minds of many who read Ensign Lucien
Young's graphic description of the
wreck of the Huron and of his own es-
cape on 1.-the Balsa." The latter is Il
raft or float, and on the Pacific coast of
South America, whence the name is de-
rived, it is made of whole hides of bull
locks sewed into air-tight bags, two of
which are fastened together at the
smaller end, and form a float upon
which a board is laid crossways. On
this board the occupant of the Balsa
sits, with legs dangling in the water,
and, by means of a paddle, guides the
buoyant raft through the surf. The
Balsa is much used by Peruvian women,
who go out to vessels at anchor off
shore to sell provisions, fruit and
whisky to the sailors. AS they sit on
the cross-board, with the inflated bags
spread out like two wings from their
point of junction near which the board
is placed, one end of the Balsa is ele-
waited high above the water, and it is
only necessary to turn this end to shore
as the Balsa approaches the breakers to
insure safe passage through them.
The Balsa of the Huron was probably
an air-tilled india-rubber float, suffi-
GENTLY like its South American proto-
type to bear the family name. Itsaved
the lives of two men, and, under more
favorable circumstances, might have
carried a line ashore and been instru-
mental in saving the lives of others.

Which Is the Richer, Mornings OF
Evenings Milk. ..

This subject has now been put to the
test of chemical analysis, and the result
is that the evenings milk is found to be
the richer. Prof. Boedeker analyzed
the milk of healty COW at different
periods of the day. The professor found
that the solids of the evenings milk
Q3 per cent.) exceeded those of the
morning GO per cent. ; while the water
contained in the fluid was diminished
from 80 per cent to &c per cent. The
fatty matter gradually increases as the
day progresses. In the morning it
amounts to p per cent, at noon 81 per
cent, and in the evening 81 per cent.
The practical Importance of this discov-
cry is at once apparent; it develops the
fact that while sixteen ounces of morn
ings milk will yield but one-half an
ounce of butter, about double the guam
tity can be obtained from the evenings
milk. The casein is also increased in
the evenings milk from q to "a per
cent, but the albumen is diminished
from 44-100 per cent. to 31-100 per cent.
Sugar is less abundant at midnight al
per cent and most plentiful at noon
(43 per cent?. The percentage of the
salt undergoes almost no change at any
time of the day. Canada Globe.

Cottage Pudding. Take one egc,
one cup of milk, two spoonfuls and a

sugar, one pint of flour, two teaspoon
fuls of yeast powder; bake half an hour,
first tiavoring with lemon. Serve with

Good seasoned muck is of immense
service to farmers when used as an alb

be so constructed as to admit of a wide
passage in the rear with generous room
for the muck to be used daily with the
droppings. -Jouraal Of Chemistry.
Manure for corn should be applied
late in November or early in December,
when the ground is bare. The nearer
to spring the less good will come from
it. 1t should be taken immediately
from the stables to the field and about
two-thirds as heavy coat spread for
corn as for wheat.

The best way to market corn is an
important question to the farmer. 1t
will pay but very few persons, especial
ly those living some distance from mar
ket, to gather, shell and haul corn by
the load to some railroad station or
steamboat landing. 1t will be found
far more profitable to send the corn to
market on four feet, in the shape of pork
or beef. Whenever it is possible to feed
corn to good stock on the farm, that
there is always demand for, it will
pay best. Of course man should use
Judgment in feeding, as in everything
else-for hardly anything will pay when
poorly done.
