Cheap Living.

How to cook so as to make clean, sa-
worry dishes is quite as important as to
know what food to purchase, and in
what manner it is to be cooked SO as to
secure the greatest amount of susie
nance for the least money; but that is
chiefly to be learned by experience. The
bill of fare which Miss CorsOn, the New
York philanthropist, publishes in her
pamphlet ON this subject, will undoubt-
eddy show something new to many peo-
pie now pinched for want of sufficient
food. One direction is as follows, for q
family of five:
Monday there is boiled rice and milk
for breakfast, corned beef and cabbage
for dinner, and peas boiled in stock for
supper. The days food costs IS cents.
Tuesday, broth and bread for breakfast,
costing 10 cents; for dinner, baked
beans; supper, macaroni and cheese.
Wednesday there is toasted bread and
scalded milk for breakfast, stewed tripe
for dinner, and polenta for supper.
Thursday, rice panada for breakfast,
salt potaufeu for dinner, and lentils
stewed in stock for supper. Friday,
broth ard bread for breakfast, mutton
and turnips for dinner, and barley boil
ed in broth for supper. Saturday, mutt
ton broth and bread for breakfast, beef
and potatoes for dinner, and beans boil
ed in broth for supper. Sundays fare
costs 81 cents, and includes breakfast
of cocoa, bread and fried lentils, dinner
of bean broth, haslet stew and suet roly-
poly pudding, and supper of cheese pud-
ding. For the week that makes a total
expense of 81. SO, and leaves q balance
in my estimate of 81 cents for extra
break, milk and butter.

Wonderful Shooting.

DR.. w. F. Carver, of California, is
said to be the most wonderful rifle-shot
in the world. He is coming East with
his rifle and his reputation. The other
day he gave an exhibition at Denver.
His performance is to break glass balls
thrown in the air 20 or 80 feet distant and
20 or 80 feet high. He engages to break
80 out of 100 glass balls thus thrown in
the air. At the Denver exhibition he
broke 30 out 100. Besides this he made
several very difficult fancy shots-6ring
from his hip and over his head, and
with the rifle upside down, etc. His
most difficult shot was this. A ball is
thrown into the air about 20 feet high.
He fires and misses it with the first shot.
He then reloads the rifle, fires and
breaks the ball before it reaches the
ground. This he did at the second
trial, He loads with cartridge, of
course, but this feat requires amazing

THE Andaman Islands, where the
largest penal colony of the British In
dian Empire is established, and which
gained painful celebrity from the fact
that it was during an inspection of this
colony that Lord Mayo was PREACHER
ously murdered by one of the convicts,
belonged originally, like the neighbor-
ing group of islands-the Nicobar Is
landsLtO Denmark, but were some 80
years ago transferred to England. The
islands number altogether 81, with q
total area of about 500 square miles.
The average temperature is "a degrees
Fahrenheit. The interior parts of the
islands are covered with immense trees,
mostly teak; but only few wild bears,
wild cats, and some bats are found,
while there are about 120 different spe-
cies of birds, 200 kinds of butterflies,
and 800 kinds of insects. The inhabit-
ants are very much like the negroes, but
are on the very lowest level of barbar-
ism. They have no ideas of even the
rudest kind of religion, and believe
neither in a God nor even in good or
bad spirits, and their language is very
defective and poor. The number of
convicts assembled from all parts of
East India in the establishment (Which
is exactly twenty years old), is nearly
1900, of which Ii pei cent. are women.
Rice, coffee, and sugar plantations are
already plentiful, excellent roads are
made, and the future prospects of this
colony are very promising. An album
dance of fish, oysters and turtle is found
in the surrounding seas.

Aerial Navigation.

Mr.. Brearey, Secretary of the En-
glish Aeronautical Society, called at
tention, in recent lecture, to some Gu
rious facts which those who are seeking
solutions of the flying-machine problem
might probably bear in mind. He
stated that light as the atmosphere is in
proportion to the weight of water, the
rarer medium is capable of supporting
creature much heavier than itself,
while water, 800 times heavier, only
supported a fish of about equal weight,
bulk for bulk. Suppose fish bore the
same proportional weight to its ele-
mental medium as bird does to the at
mosphere, it would have to be made of
something heavier than platinum. As
it is fish is really bird without wings.
He gave some curious comparisons
between different birds and insects as to
the surface they presented to the atmos-
phere and their weight. Thus the gnat
was of three million times less weight
than the Australian crane, but present
ed in proportion 140 times more surface
to the air; and between these two there
were almost all gradations. In these in
vestigations lay some of the most hopeful
facts which seemed to render aerial nav
igation possible, aad if man could get
sufficient surface he could surely get
sufficient machine power for propul-
sion. 1t was not so much question of
power as of the right application of
power. There was also the question of
balance. The manner in which a bird
kept its balance, while its wings were
being theoretically worked alternately
above and below its center of gravity,
was marvellous. Mr.. Brearey thought
that with the example of the bicycle the
question of balance would not present
much difficulty.
He then touched on the application
of steam to the navigation of the air.
Until lately it had been thought that
this was inadmissible as motive pow
er, because of the cumbrous method of
its generation; but it had been declared
that when steam could be applied with
a weight not exceeding 20 pounds per
horsepower, the problem would soon
be solved. This had been accomplish
ed, and they would hope the prognosti-
cation mig be true.-ScientJfc Ameri-

Jewels OF the Crown of scosian~.


At Edinburg, Scotland, some years since.
the Jewels of the Crown erelocked In box,
that box in another, and 90 on, until they
were supposed to be burglar proof. They were
then locked up in the vault OF the castle, there
to remain for one hundred years, the keys
being placed in mortar and fired into the sea
Scarce fifty years passed by, and the modern
lock-picker opens the vault and boxes without
trouble So the science Of medicine, when
studied with the aid Of chemistry and the mi
croscope, becomes plain and simple, and dis
eases that were regarded incurable genera
ton ago, now readily yield to remedies en-
ployed by the modern and progressive physi-
clan. A decade Of years since, and women
were taught to believe that their peculiar dis
eases and weaknesses wereincurable; but now
hundreds and thousands Of once bed-fidden
women in the United States will testify to the
fact that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
has effected their perfect and permanent cure.
TOLEDO, ONO Dec. 9Th, 1876.
Oh. R V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sir-About five years since my wife was
taken sick, and though we employed the best
physicians in our city, yet she gradually grew
worse, SO that she was confined to the bed.
Every remedy had tried, or could find, failed
to cure or even give relief. At last I procured
a bottle of your Favorite Prescription and to
my surprise it gave almost instant RELIEF, and
with little perseverance an entire cure was
effected. Ever gratefully yours,

Gardening in France.

There are over 5000 men, women.
and children engaged in growing early
asparagus, lettuces, carrots, and the like
in and around Paris. The rent of the
land varies from $3.50 to $24O per acre,
according to situation and irrigation
plant. These market gardens are OF
comparatively small dimensions, and
vary from II to "a acres in extent.
Taking the smaller size, the plant nee
essary to carry on business costs nearly
$4,000, including large and small bell
glasses, straw mats, glazed lights,
frames, tools, baskets, horse, cart, and
other necessary materials. The regular
wOrkmen, it is said, earn an average
pay of about forty cents per day, with
board and lodging, all the year round.
Extra men receive about seven cents
per hour, women five cents. Most of
the men come from other sections, not
so much for the sake of the wages,
which are low for France, but in order
to learn business which they can turn
to profitable account when they return
to their homes after two or three years
service.
Amieus claims to be one of the Oldest
market gardening towns in France,
vegetables having been grown there in
the twelfth century hundreds of years
before cabbage was grown in England.
There are at present about $50 acres
under cultivation, the yearly produce of
which averages about $3.50 per acre.
The cabbages often weigh from 40 to so
pounds, beet roots 20 to Is pounds,
black radishes IL to 20 pounds, and the
turnips from II to Is pounds. A stretch
of about Is miles of the north coast,
near Roscaff, is celebrated for its early
artichokes, onions, asparagus and po-
tatoes. England takes every year about
500 tons of early vegetables and 1000
tons of onions, being about one-third of
the whole production. Four thousand
souls make q comfortable living, and
even grow rich, on the produce of some
1900 acres of land. Potion, q neigh
boring province, has given its name to
q gigantic cabbage much grown in
western France, and largely used for
cattle feeding. The leaves are carefully
picked off in the autumn and at the end
Of winter, the plants being cut down in
the spring. Gathered in this way, the
Potion cabbage will yield from IA to II
tons per acre.-Boston Cultiuotor.
