What Will Prevent Malaria?

As jewellers in some of the country
districts in the vicinity of this city are
troubled both in body and mind by ma
larious exhalations arising from the soil,
it is interesting to know that the sub
ject of abating this evil by natural
means is receiving earnest scientific at
tention. One of the best known facts in
botany is the absorption by trees and
plants of gases which would, If not taken
up, tend to render our atmosphere i'm
pure, and it also seems to be settled that
different trees act in this respect in diff
ferent ways. 1t is claimed of the gum
bark trees of Australia, that, if planted
in sufficient numbers in . malarious dis
trict, they will neutralize the dangerous
effects of these emanations. The same
preventive virtue is said to belong to the
red and blue gum trees which grow pro-
fusely in Algeria; but these, in com.
mon with the Australian trees, are ma
tives of . country favored with such
comparatively warm and even climate,
and would hardly be likely to survive,
if transplanted, the seventies of an
American winter. But another tree has
been mentioned, which should, if it will
perform the service claimed for it, b.
very generally cultivated, as it can be
easily obtained and readily grown.
This is the common willow. It is as
serted by those protesting to have had
that, if cordons of these
trees are planted around areas from
which malarious gases exude they will
effectually prevent their diffusion. The
remedy is certainly a simple one, and if
it can be demonstrated to be reliable,
there is no reason why certain parts of
Staten Island, Long Island and New
Jersey should not be wholly relieved
from the somewhat undesirable reputa-
ton they now have.-Nea0 York Times.

gar, 3 nutmegs, 1 ounce of mace, !
ounce Of cloves, Is eggs, pound of
sweet almonds, pound of candied cit
ron, 4 pound Of orange and lemon peel,
1 gill Of wine, and Of brandy.
To CLEAN FfArHEHS.-Nake q lather
Of curd soap, boiling water, and pearl
ash; when it is little cool, wash the
feather in it, gently squeezing it; wash
it again with less 1ather, and then rinse
in cold water, shaking it well before the
FIRE, but not too near. Curl it by draw
ing each fiber over the blunt edge of q
fruit knife. II the color Is not good,
use little blue in the rinsing water.
To REMOVE SrAINs.-Dissolve 1
ounce of pure pearlash. in q pint of
spring water, and to the solution add q
lemon cut in small slices; mix the in
gradients well, keep the mixture in q
warm state for 2 days, then strain it,
and bottle the clear liquid for use. A
little of this poured on the stains will
remove them; as soon as they disap-
pear the cloth should be washed in clear
water.
CR0QUETTEs OF MEAfs.-Take any
kind of meat; mince it. For one dish
put 8 tablespoons of minced ham; sea-
soned with pepper. salt, and nutmeg; l
tablespoon of butter, rolled in of flour /;
moisten all with pint of cream, or
boiled milk; stir until it is ropy; stir
in the fresh meat to the consistency of
hash; let it get cool; the meat to have
been previously cooked. Make in ferns !;
roll in beaten yelk of egg, and bread
crumbs; form with q knife, not touch.
ing them with the hand; fry in hot lard,

or we'll boiled dry potatoes; pound them
in mortar, adding to them butter and
milk, in which sugar has been dissolved.
When the potatoes have been thorough
well beaten and mixed, boil the paste,
and pour it into basin to cool, after
which add to it the yelks of 8 eggs, q
sufficient quantity of sugar, the whites
of 4eggs, beaten to snow, and spoon
fuls Of orange-fower water. Butter
we'll the inside of mold, and sprinkle

BOILED TURKEY WITH OYSTER
SAUCE.-Grate loaf of bread; cut up
20 oysters, / pound of butter, pepper,
salt, 2 tablespoons of cream, and 8
eggs; stuff the turkey with these ingre-
dents, and make into balls, and boil

it, and put it in cold water enough to
cover it; set it over the FIRE; let it boil
slowly for an hour; take off the scum as
it rises; then take off the kettle, and
cover it closely; if it be middling size,
let it stand in the pot for hour; the
steam being kept in will cook it enough,
and keep the skin whole or very white.
When you dish 1t, pour on little oyster
sauce; lay the balls around the turkey ;
serve the rest of the sauce in q boat.
Let the turkey be put on in time to stew
as above, it cooks it to perfection. The
turkey should be put on the fire and
heated before IL is served.

the city corporation, at which the lead
ing citizens assisted, q procession was
formed and marched through the princi-
pal streets, which were gaily decorated in

great in Victoria Square that the horses
in the vice-regal carriage became un-
manageable, and they were therefore
unhitched and ropes attached to the
carriage, which was drawn by the peo-
pie the remainder of the journey. In
the evening there was grand ball and

The German mail steamer Pome.
rama. which sailed from New York,
November IA, for Hamburg, on the
night of the 25th was run into by the
iron ship Noel Eilian in crossing the
English Channel, and sank in
20 minutes. The Pomerania had
on board about $50 passengers,
the larger portion of whom were asleep
at the time of the collision. The scene
on board is described as terrible in the
extreme. The passengers, who were
awakened by the shock, ran from their
berths in their night-clothes, shrieking
in terror and despair. The night was
intensely dark and foggy, and none
knew the full extent of the calamity, but
all feared the worst. Four of the ships
boats were crushed by the collision; the
other five were successfully launched,
but one was overcrowded and sank.
Most of the passengers were saved by
the steamer Glengarry, which, passing
at the time, picked up 172 from the
water. It is believed that 81
lives were lost. The surviv-
ors were taken to Dover. Capt.
Schwenzen refused to leave his vessel
and went down with her. He was sub
sequently picked up by passing vessel.
The accident occurred near the spot
where the Grosser Kurfurst was sunk.

There will be no other point of unlimit

Silver dollars will be exchanged for
greenbacks or National Bank notes in
