PRosPec1s For PORK.

The Chicago Droyer's Journal is any.
thing but cheerful for the immediate future
for pork. 1t Gays, cit is now generally
admitted that the packing season in Chicago
will open late, perhaps not until the 18th
Of November. or even later, If the weather
should not prove favorable. The condition
of the trade will not admit of any extra ex-
pense on the product. Ice, 60 necessary TO
the curing OF meats, is scarce and high, and
then the stocks Of old product are sufficient
to meet the present wants Of trade. This
seems TO be the view taken by about all the
large firms in the business. Of course, those
that we're fortunate IN securing a large stock
OF Ice at cheap rates may 10 on with the
business. The extreme warm weather of the
past three months has nearly exhausted the
ice supply of the country, and all summer
curers complain Of the scarcity. Just now
there is considerable demand for ribs, and
the great bulk Of the shipments are for Eu-
ropcan account. The home demand il light:
the condition Of affairs at the south has en-
tirely shut out the largest consuming and
distributing markets of our own country.
But, against all thi., our packers look for a
good trade and fair prices the coming sea-
son. They claim that the revival of the in
dustlies Of the New England and middle
states will create a demand that will offset
the loss of that in the south and then our
cheap and nutritious hog products are
breaking down the r.judice Of the French,
a people who until recently would scarcely
buy American pork products at any price;
but the direct shipments to French ports are
increasing from year to year.

TREATMENT OF THE OPIUM HABIT
The "Opium Habit" while it so entire
~ weakens the will power and renders
the unfortunate one unable to break
from its grasp, it indeed resembles the
Devil Fish, or SQuid, described il Vic
tor HugO's Toilers of the Sea. (which
fastens its long and plant arms, as tough
as leather and as firm as steel, until its
prey sinks helpless into it's laws" Yet
it is q habit which can be eradicated by
proper management, and the unhappy
victim restored to his former self. The
only reliable means to escape, if there be
sufficient self-control, is to pursue the
treatment recommended by the eminent
Doctor ChristOson, who, after large eX-
perleDce i'll the treatment of those ad-
dicted TO the Opium Habit, says that no
good can be done by gradual reduc-
tlon," and that it can be safely left off
abruptly, even after many years indul-
gence. He recommends Bromide of Po-
tassium TO allay irritabiIity, and Hydrate
three Or four days after suddenly leaving
off the habit the individual suffers from
great depression, loathipg, sickness and
vomiting, but if there is the will to en-
dure this q few days, by the fourth or
fifth night he falls asleep and awakes re-
freshed, and in most cases the progress
afterwards is very satisfactory. When
the Habit, though, has so mastered
the judgment and ensiaved the will that
the individual ceases to be u free agent
and becomes incapable of self control,
then the only reliable means of escape
is by wholly giving himself to the care
of physician, or placing himself in an
institution devoted to that purpose

THE BENEFIT OF FLOWERS.-1t is a
decided mistake to think that money
expended in purchasing shrubs and
plants is thrown away, but on the con-
trary, it is frequently the most direct
way to increase the pecupiary value of
your estate. Well arranged lawns and
gardens, with neat fences, and flower
ing vines clustering over the piazza,
porch and windows, give such an air of
refinement and beauty to your home,
that it will often attract the passer-by,
and create in him a desire to possess it.
Flowers and vines add refinement,
all their own, to every home and there
Is no gorgeous upholstering, no rare dra-
peries of velvet and lace, that can equal
them in the adornment of our apart
ments. Just look at the window at
which L sit. No lace curtains fall frem
gilded mouldings, but the brackets of
imitation bronze are screwed into the
sides Of the window, and each one holds
four or five pots, from which hang clus-
monsywOrth, while tall, shapely fuch-
sias lift their fower-eoverea heads in
perfect loveliness, and bright-hued ge-
raniums contrast beautifully with their
graceful bells, and dark veined ivy
leaves entwine about the walls and pic
lures, and on the window-sill stand
pots Of fragrant heliotropes, sweet tea
roses, primroses and Gala lilies, aud a
hanging basket, gay with various kinds
of oxalis, is supended from the centre of
the window. Can you see how they en-
liven the room with beauty and fra
GRANGE? Do you know how attractive
they make my little parlor? And yet
they cost but small sum but "Solo-
mon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one Of these"

BREAD.--TLe following is the recipe
by which the celebrated Vienna bread
was made that became so famous on the
Centennial grounds for its deliciousness
as to command fair prices; indeed, to
sell for far more than it was worth:
"Sift in q tin pan four pounds of flour,
bank it UP against the sides, pour in
one quart Of milk and water, and mix
into it enough flour to form thin bat
ter; then quickly and lightly add one
pint of milk in which is dissolved one
ounce of salt and one and three quar-
ter ounces of yeast leave the remainder
OF the flour against the sides of the pan
cover the pan with cloth and set it in
place free from draught for three-quar-
ters OF an hour; then mix in the rest of
the flour until the dough will leave the
bottom and sides of the pan, and let it
stand two and half hours. Finally,
divide the mass into one pound pieces,
to be cut in turn into twelve parts each.
This gives square pieces about three and
o half inches thick, each corner of
which is taken up and folded over the
centre, and then the cases are turned
over on a dough-board to rise for half
an hour, when they are put into a hot
oven and baked in ten minutes"

CARAMEL CUsrARD.--Set quart of
milk to boil rather slowly, beat tbayolks
of eight eggs with q tablespoonful of
flour very light, pour several ladies of
boiling milk into the bowl with the
eggs, then pour all into the pan with the
rest Of the lnilk. Have g. frying-pan
heated while your custard is mixing
Put into the pan five or six ounces of
sugar, let it cook until it is well Drowned,
but not burnt, then pour some ladies OF
the custard Tor the hot milk before the
eggs are added, which is much better, as
it is less liable to burn) into the pan with
the sugar, mix all thoroughly, ada it to
the rest, strain the whole through a
serve. Ii not sweet enough add sugar.
Freeze it or not as you like.

VIII you love me, dear, mid the falling leaves
AS you did in the Springtime hours,
Ere time had garnered the golden sheaves
Or withered the woodland flowers?
AS you did when down by the rivers side,
You told me an olden story,
AS the light on the purple hill-tops died,
And DER us threw its glory.
When the voyage of life had just begun,
And softly down Times stream,
The silver stars at set of sun,
Shown holy as a seraph's dream.
When rosy morning on the mountain
Scattered far the shades of night,
And from the flowers by the fountain,
Dew-drops fell in gems of light.
VIII you love me, dear, mid the falling flowers,
AS you did, when Ger the meadows
Lay the spell OF our youthful hours,
And dreamy May-moon shadows?
For Love is life, and when at last,

May my lot in love be cast
To bloom on the other shore.
