USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

ALMOND CAKE.-Two cups of sugar,
one-half cup of butter, three of -four,
three-quarters of cup of milk, three
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, whites
OF six eggs; bake in layers, and sprinkle
almonds over the tops.
PRUNE PIE.-Take one pound of
prunes, wash them, stew them soft in
clean water and remove the pits, then
have your crust ready and spread the
prunes quite thin; add one cup of sugar
and two tablespoonful of boiled cider
to a pie. This is enough to make two
pies. You will find them very nice.
SCRAPPLE.-Take pieces of fresh
pork, more of lean than fat, boil until
tender; take it out of the broth and
after chopping it fine put it back into
the broth, and fill up with plenty of
water; put in salt and pepper, and stir
in corn meal the same as for mush;
turn out in pans and slice and fry. 1t
will be fat enough to fry itself.

The following bits of agricultural
wisdom are taken from the 1oUG State
Register:
The President of the Northwestern
Iowa Agricultural Society says: You
may do without a feather bed, but. re-
peat, do not do without an asparagus
bed.
Fat little Berkshire pigs are pretty,
and nobbv, short-horn steers are the
delight of the eye. But no pigs are
pretty On the doorstep, nor are any
breed of cattle a pleasure to the sight
in the orchard.
If there be any leisure time, rccollect
corn will stand manure to the fullest
extent. 1t not only pays in amount of
yield, but it ripens much earlier.
A doubling farmer is of such little
use, it is q waste of the raw material to
take dust to make such man.
Lettuce can be rapidly and profitably
sown in open garden any time in
March when the ground is nj frozen.
Farmers complain of many wrongs,
but they could right them if they would
make use of the brain force at their
command.
A farmer should learn lessons from
the foiblcs and failures of others, as
well as by their wisdom and triumphs.
There are lessons in every passing min
ute or passing zephyr.
How happy is the farmers life when
he sows his seed in hope, and gathers
his sheaves in thankfu1ness.

at once. This always ends in sorrow.
Eat few apples for refreshments
sake while skating. and be sure 20
throw the cores on the ice for fast
skaters to break their necks over.
Sit down occasionally, no matter
where. There is no law to prevent new
beginners from sitting down whenever
they have an inclination to do so.
Skate over all the small boys at once.
Knock 'em down. 1t makes great fun,
and they like it.
If you skate into hole in the ice take
it coolly. Think how you would feel ii
the water was boiling hot.
If your skates are too slippery buy a
new pair. Keep buying new pairs un.
til you find a pair that is not slippery.
In sitting down do it gradually.
Don't be too sudden, you may break

How to Awaken q King.

WEYMOUTH was long King George
Ills favOrite resort for repose and
fresh air. He was accustomed to stroll
unattended about the streets and ter
races of the little watering place, and
he literally patronized its theater-in-
deed, the good-natured Monarch pat
ronized plays and players wherever he
found them. In the course Of one of
his afternoon walks he had been over
taken by a shower of rain, when, the
door of the theater standing open, he
entered. and, finding no one in attend
ance. he quietly made his way to the
Royal box and seated himself in his &C
customed chair. The performances OF
the evening, it may be stated, were an
nounced to be for the benefit of Mr..
Elliston, and His Majesty had promised
to attend and support by his presence
the efforts of the actor he greatly adj
mired. He was a tribe fatigued, per-
haps, and the dim light of the empty
theater and the easy-chair induced
drowsiness. In few moments the
King was fast asleep. Meantime, Lord
Townshend sought his Royal master in
various directions, but in vain. He had
dined at three o'clock. and Quilted the
palace shortly after dinner; he had not
been seen since, and the Queen and the
Processes were somewhat uneasy about
him, for it was now five o'clock. His

Balky Men Make Balky Horses.

Few things are more provoking or
more disgraceful to driver than a
balky horse, or more amusing to the
spectators. Baking is so manifestly
the fault of the handling that the horse
has had, that the driver is outside of
sympathy for the awkward situation in
which he is seen in holding the reins
at the horse end. A horse delights in
using his strength, and it should be the
aim of the driver to control him without
exciting his opposition.
Some men will get more work out of
horse than others, because, under
their management, he is allowed to put
his whole strength into his work, and
he is not irritated and harassed, and
perhaps exasperated, by jerking and
twitching of the lines, loud shouting,
and frequent swapping of and perhaps
cuts from the whip; instead of this
mode of treatment, he is encouraged
to do his work with cheerfulness, and
freedom of motion is encouraged;
whip, binders and checks are dis
pensed with. No more appropriate
names could be applied to the last
two articles of hOrse-gear than the
ohCS tlICy OHC ID u CuCCk " ALL
bition, and the other is binding to the
eyes.
A whip is source of needless irrita-
ton to horse; he seldom needs it UNI
less he is lazy, and if he is lazy, he
had better be seen to, for laziness and
health seldom 60 together. 1t is quite
possible for horse to be so free from
restraint that his work will be pleas
ant exercise. A restful state of mind
puts the body in good working condition
in beast as well as in man.
There is kind of knack in conduct
ing the strength and energy of horse
along the channel which YOU would
have it flow, and that. too, SO smoothly
ally the stream which flows quietly
which goes with the most force.
Care should be taken to not give a
horse load too great for his strength,
for fear that he will be discouraged, or,
being baked by his load, will balk
against his master.
One manner of starting for teamsters
is first cut with the whip, and the
whip is sure to be pretty severe one;
then a "yank' on the lines; next comes
course of shouting. This style of
treatment is kept up all day long on an
animal of flesh and blood, and of nerves
often more sensitive than his driver.
This is the way that the temper of
many good horse is spoiled; his an
tagonism is aroused, and, instead of
being docile and submissive, he be-
comes irritable and resentful.
Occasionally we see on our streets
actual fights between tcamsters and
their horses; sometimes there is enough
strength wasted to do half days
work. Verify it would seem to be for
the interest of horse-owners to employ
only such men for transfers as under
stand their business Detroit Post

they emerged unhurt into the sunshine
in time to bid farewell to few frag-
ments of the balloon which were float

Such experiences must, as a rule, be
trying to the nerves of most people,
and we must be SO plain rs to say that
travelling by balloon is at best an act of
extreme danger and temerity. In order
to utilize balloons, it is evident that
some sure means of guiding them must
be invented. and this discovery or any,
thing approaching to it has yet to be
made. In fact, a balloon is still, after
about hundred years experience, lit

Lordship even made inquiry of Elliston,
who was quietly proceeding to the thea
ter to make arrangements for the per-
formances of the night; but Elliston
could give no information-he had seen
nothing of the King. Arrived at the
theater, however, the actor was not
long before he discovered the figure of
a man asleep in the Kings chair. He
had, indeed, entered the box to assure
himself that all was prepared for the
occupation of his Royal patron. For
moment he did not recognize the
sleeper, and he was about to disturb
his slumbers abruptly enough. For
tunately he discovered in time that he
stood in the presence of the King.
What was he to do? He dared not
wake His Majesty by touching him; he
feared even to speak to him. 1t was
clear, however, that something must be
done; it was nearly time for lighting
the lamps-and then the anxiety of the
Queen and the Processes had to be
considered. Elliston hit upon this ex-
pedient. He took up violin from the
orchestra, and, placing himself imme-
diately under the Royal box, he struck
up, "God Save the Kingr' The King
stirred, and, presently springing up,
exclaimed: "What! what! Oh, yes, l
see, Elliston. Ha! ha! rain came on
took seat-took nap. What's
o'clock?'' NEARLY six, Your Majesty"
.Six! Six o'clockr' cried the King.
"Send to Her Majesty-say I'm here.
Stay, stay, this wig won't do, eh--eh?
Don't keep the people waiting. Light
up-light up. Let 'em Inlet 'em in.
Ha! ha! fast asleep. Play well to-
night, Elliston--great favorite with the
Queen. Let 'em Inlet 'em in.' At
the close of the performance, Elliston
attended the Royal visitors to their car
rage when the King, still occupied,
with mis- adventure of the afternoon,
nodded and smiled as he whispered to
the actor, EAST asleep, eh, Elliston?

The Defenses OF London.

WITH the addition of some huge
INTERROGATION guns, the heaviest
artillery at present in the service, to the
defenses of the Thames, the forts which
now protect London on the side of the
sea may be considered in satisfactory
condition We rarely regard London
as fortified city, and yet against the
attack of a hostile squadron it is well
assured as any other port in the world.
1t is only within the past few years that
any really serious steps have been made
for the proper defense of the center of
the Nations greatness. At any time,
no doubt, we could organize in few
days system of torpedo defense which
would, if successful, effectually bar
progress up the river; but torpedoes are
at best a treacherous kind of weapon,
and are apt, at times, to be as danger
GUS to friend as to foe. Coming up to
the More, the first opposition that an
enemy would be likely to meet with are
the Sheerness Forts and the Isle of Grain
guns, together with any long-range
cannon which might happen to be in
position on the Essex shore at Shoe
buryness. In the event OF the hostile
squadron passing these, it would next
have to cope with a very powerful
battery at Coal-House Point, and an
other on the opposite shore, called the
new Shornmeade Fort These works
mount guns of very heavy caliber, and
are SO constructed that they may opcr-
ate in unison, and deliver a sweeping
crossfire. Moreover, the reach of the
river is of such a nature that the can
non of the forts could command
any ship coming up the river a
couple of miles before the latter
came abreast of the batteries. If we
suppose, however, the enemy to be sue
cessful in evading these works also,
then his progress would be checked
again by Tilbury Fort and it's compan-
ion work opposite New Tavern Fort.
These forts are also fitted with guns Of
heavy caliber and long range, those on
the Kent shore commanding the whole
of the long reach in the river just be-
low Gravesend. 1t would only be in
the event of an enemy running the
gauntlet of those big guns that it " ould
have any chance whatever of reaching
the Government factories at Woolwich,
or those docks whose overlooking riches

ever found on the lode. Although not
quite as high as the one discovered in

in length and breadth, and its beauty is
unparalleled. When first found it was
a veritable palace of Alladin, its sides

and sparkled in the rays of light with a

floor was covered with a mineral vege-

COMING INTO PROMINENCE.

Eureka District is coming into de-

time commands almost as much at
tention as the Comstock. Papers
abroad TEEN with favorable notices OF
our resources, and our wealth and
permanence are the subject of much
favorable comment. The recent law
suit has proved to be quite an adver-
tisement for us, especially in the East
ern States, and one of our mines, the
Eureka Consolidated, has been in large
demand from that section, for purposes
OF permanent investment. A gentle
man, who is well informed OF the sub
Ject, tells us that the recent sharp rise

heavy order from Boston and New
York, a portion of which are yet un-
hiled, there being but a few shares
af1oat on the market. A monthly
three-dollar dividend is a very tempt.
ing showing to Eastern capitalists,
and the fact of there being almost a
certainty of an uninterrupted series of
them makes the outlook that much
more fascinating. The Eureka is not
carrying Off all the honors by any
means, the Richmond looking just as
well and yielding as richly. 1t is the
only silver mine cn this coast, owned
and controlled by English capital, that
has proved a paying investment to our
cousins over the water, and the steady
stream of bullion pouring forth from
the furnaces must gladden. tine hearts
Of the shareholders in that wonderful
mine. The X X Consolidated is also
looking and yielding well, and when
arrangements are made to control the
present large flow of water that retards
work in the lower levels, it will come
forward in the front rank. The same
can be said of the Hamburg, recent
developments in which have proved it

critics all along the lode are in a prom
Using condition, and we will astonish
the world next year with the volume
OF wealth that will pour forth from the
Base Range. 1t is safe to predict that
not les, than $4,000 600 will be pro-
duced in this district during the year
of 1873.
