A Terrible Night at n Theatre.

Once when / was a callow, bashful
cub, took plain, unsentimental coun-
try girl to comedy one night. | had
known her day; she seemed divine; |
wore my new boots. At the end of the
first half hour she said: Why do you
fidget with your feet so?" | said: "Did
l?'-then put my attention there and
kept still. At the end of another half
hour she said, "Why do you say, Yes,
oh, yes' and 'Ha, ha, OH, certainly
very true.' to everything | say, when
half the time those are entirely irrele-
want answers" | blushed and ex-
planned that | had been a little absent
minded. At the end of another half
hour she said, "Please why do you grin
50 steadily at vacancy, and yet look so
sad" | explained that / always did
that when | was rejecting.
An hour passed, and then she turned
and contemplated me with her earnest
eyes and said, "Why do you cry all the
time?" | explained that very funny
comedies always made me cry. AT last
human nature surrendered, and | secret
ly slipped by boots off. This was mis-
take. / was not able to get them on any
more. 1t was rainy night; there were
no omnibuses going our way; and as l
walked home, burning up with shame,
with the girl on one arm and my boots
under the other, | was an object worthy
of compassion. especially in those mo-
ments of martyrdom, when a had to pass
through the glare that fell upon the
pavement from street lamps.
Finally, this child of the forest said
" Where are your boots?" being taken
unprepared; put finishing touch to
the follies of the evening with the stupid
remark: 1.-The higher classes do not
wear them to the theatre. Marx

Potato PLANTING

Except for a few very early ones we
would not plant potatoes until the
ground is dry and warm. Though late
planting is to be avoided, it is to be pre-
ferred to that which is unreasonable
early. Not only should the season be
suitably advanced, but the land should
be plowed for some days, weeks if posi-
BILE, before the planting is performed.
This in order to secure a dry and warm
seed bed. If the land was in grass the
previous season we would spread a lib
eral quantity of good compost manure,
after the blowing was done, and harrow
it in. In the stubble fields we should
spread the manure before blowing.
Whatever the character ct the soil we
should, in addition to the compost, use
some kind of Especial f, rtilizer in the
hill This will have tie double effect of
largely increasing the quality of the
crop. The seed Dug not to come in
direct contact with these or any other
fertilizers. Rows should be at least
three feet apart, and the hills from one
and half to three feet apart in the row.
The seed should be well covered, 50 that
if the weather should be dry the sprout-
ing may not be delayed.-N E. Home

4 Debatable Question,

While much has been written concern
ing the use of "put up" medicines, the
question is still an open one, aud demands
OF the people a careful consideration. The
salient points may be briefly stated, and
answered follows 1st-Are the sick
capable of determining their real condition,
the nature Of THEN malady, and selecting
the proper remedy or means of cure? I'd
Can physician, no matter how skillful,
prepare universal remedy, adapted to the
peculiar ailments OF large class of people,
residing In different ATTITUDES, and subject
TO various climatic influences? In answer
TO the first proposition, We would say, dis
eases are named and known by certain
signs or symptoms, and, as the mother
does not need a physician to tell her that
her child has the whooping-cough, or indi-
cate remedy, so people when afflicted with
many of the symptoms concomitant to " i'm
pure blood, "torpid liver" and " bad di-
gestion," require no other knowledge of
their condition, or the remedy indicated,
than they already possess. Second propo-
sition-Many physicians argue that diseases
are sectionally peculiar, and that their treat
ment must therefore vary, and yet quinine,
morphine, podophyllin, and hundreds
or other remedies are prescribed in
all countries to overcome certain
conditions. Is it not therefore, seif-evident
lndt physician whose large experience Gas
made him familiar with the many phases
incident to all impurities Of the blood, general
and nervous debility, Iirer complaint, dySpep-
STA, consumption, and catdrrh, can prepare a
series of remedies exactly adapted to meet
the conditions manifest, wherever. and by
whatever means, it may have been engen-
| dered? Tne family medicines prepared by
X. Y. Prierce, NJ D., of Buffalo, n. Y, fulfill
the above requirements. Many physicians
prescribe them in their practice. His Gold
en- Medical discovery has no equal as a
blood-purifyer and general tonic, while his
I Favorite Prescription cures those weak
nesses peculiar to women, after physicians
have failed. His Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets, which are sugar-cOated and little larger
than mustard seeds, are a safe and certain
cure for torpid" liver and constipation.

Useful Rpcinps

SAUsAGEs.-To forty pounds of meat
add one pound of salt, one cup of sifted
sage, one-quarter pound of pepper.
To WASH BLACK CALICO.-When YOU
have used the above recipe you can put
your calico in, taking care to rinse well.
RAISED BIsCUIT,-Make a sponge of
about pint of milk or water, with a
small piece of yeast-cake, or penny's
worth of bakers yeast at night; in the
morning knead with pint of milk,
warmed, and half cupful butter and
lard; knead very soft; let stand until
light, then knead again; when light roll
out, cut with small glass, let stand for
an hour in the pans; then bake.
BAKED INDIAN PUDDING.-Boil a
quart of milk, stir into it four ounces of
Indian meal, one level teaspoonful of
salt and spice, and one ounce of butter
slightly melted; put the pudding into a
baking dish, add one pint of cold milk,
and without stirring it put itat once into
moderate oven, and bake it slowly for
two hours and half
FLO-FLO CAKES.-One pound sugar,
one pound butter, eight eggs, one pound
and quarter flour, two ounces currants,
and half nutmeg; mix the butter with
the sugar and spice; then add half the
eggs and beat for few minutes: add
the rest of the eggs and work for five
minutes longer; stir in the -four and cur
rants, then bake into shapes.
MAKING BUTTER IN COLD WEATHER.
Strain the milk into pans that have
previously been rinsed in hot water; put
it on the stove for a few minutes; then
remove it to the place in which YOU
usually keep it. See that it is not too
cold. The next day put it on the stove
again, make it very warm, return it as
before. Skim it into an earthenware
bowl; pour off the thin cream that will
naturally fall on the sides; stir every
day, the third day stir with your hand
or butter-ladle; when nearly come pour
in the thin cream by degrees; if with the
former, pour some boiling water on some
bran; rub your hand well with it, then
rinse. There are some COWS that will
naturally make frothy cream, and should
be disposed of. The way to try them is
to strain the milk into separate bowls,
kim and stir with spoon.

Value of CObS.

According to single analysis report
ed in Prof. Johnson's "How Crops
Grow" the ash of corn cobs contains
forty-seven per cent. potash, four per
cent. magnesia, and nearly four and one
half per cent. phosphoric acid, which
would indicate that cobs are very valua-
BILE as fertilizer; but theamount of ash
in corn cobs is exceedingly small, being
only about one-half of one per cent, or
eleven pounds in ton. This would give
about five pounds of potash, worth not
far from half dollar. The best Use we
have ever known cobs to be put to as a
fertilizer was as bedding for calves.
The cobs were placed several inches in
thickness ever the floor of the pen in
which calves were kept loose through the
summer. The tramping of the calves
broke the cobs into small fragments
which would decay readily in the soil,
while, as clean and comfortable mate
rial for bedding, they could hardly be
surpassed. At least, that is the report
of those who have used them. A bed of
dry cobs foot deep would absorb a
large quantity of urine before becoming
foul or unfit for bedding, and after being
thus saturated, would prove quite valua-
BILE as a fertilizer Cobs are, undoubt-
eddy, of some value as food for cattle,
but much depends upon the facilities one
has for preparing them. 1t will not do
pay much corn as toll for grinding cobs,
if we regard them according to their
chemical value; yet, when cobs and corn
are ground together, the meal for feeding
to animals may be worth nearly as much,
practically, by weight, as corn-meal.
The cobs make the meal lighter. and,
perhaps, more digestible. At any rate,
the gastric juice of the stomach will
more easily be mingled with the cob
meal than with clear corn-meal, which,
if ground fine, is apt to lie very com
pactly when taken into the stomach with
out other food. Like wheat shorts.
ground cobs have a mechanical effect
upon corn-meal in the stomach, acting
as diyisor and separator of the parti-
cles. Corn-cobs also make pretty good
fire kindlings, when dry, and in place of
better material may be worth saving for
this purpose.-N. Z. Farmer.

AfSike Glover.

The seed of this forage plant was
largely distributed through western
New York seven OF eight years ago, but
for the past few years we hear nothing
further about it. Will any of our
readers report their experience with it?
A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man, writing from Seneca county, n. Y,
says: This valuable plant is gaining
quite foothold in our country, and has
shown its superiority over red clover in
several particulars. As mixture with
timothy, it is better, being late, and
maturing with the latter, makes mixed
hay of beautiful green color, much
relished by animals, instead of the
black, over-ripe clover usually seen IN
our mixed hay, which damages it so
much for market. 1t is also a valuable
acquisition to the pasture-field, having
all the elements Of white clover, with ten
times the yield. 1t has a large number
Of lateral roots, which protect it from
heaying out. | have known instances
where five successive crops of cloyer seed

yield was said to be the largest burden
of grass ever seen on an acre of ground.
Another great advantage is that the seed
gets ripe before the straw does, SO that
when threshed there is still good crop
of green clover hay, much relished by
all varieties of stock. The seed yields
from three to five bushels per acre. The
writer has counted thirty-six heads on
single stalk. Mr.. c. Ii. Davis, of
Cayuga, has had nine years experience
with it, beginning with few acres and
increasing to the present year, when he
cut two hundred acres. Most of the seed
goes to Europe, where, according to for
eign journals, it finds place in all the
best meadows and pastures. 1t will not
do well on very dry or very poor lands. !"

Popular Mexican Dance.

The Mexican ladies dress in the most
vivid colors and striking contrasts. They
combine the handsomest articles of attire
with the commonest and poorest. In the
intervals of dancing the.women retire to
the dressing-room and refresh themselves
with wine or beer and cigarettes. Even
the youngest girls smoke. The dancing
is similar to ours, except it is much
slower. They only had one national
dance, which is called the DANA
This is danced in the slowest possible

Winter Song.

The field is white; 50 pure and white,
All gildcd in the bright sunlight
Still is the azure air.
While crystal-clear
Shines far and near
The silver covering fair.
The light through icy assures shed
Cleans, white and violet and red,
In changing tints arrayed.
From out the drifts
The thorn-bush lifts
Its sharp and naked blade.
Each tiny twig the hoar-frost rings;
The suns bright ray in motion brings
The soft, still air again.
Down from the tree
Drift silently
The fakes, like blessom-rain.
The brown fir tree bends low
Its threatening weight Of snow
Above the wanderers head.
Hard-frozen in the night,
The crisp snow, glittering white,
Crackles beneath his tread.
Shrouded in ice, upon its way
The brooklet creeps; in bright array
Icicles deck the roof-the well.

The cascades mass
