Partridge conqueres a Rooster.

At ST. Foye, near Quebec, I beheld a
male spruce partridge engaged in mortal
duello with the Spanish knight-errant of
our poultry yard. The combatants fought
in the manner common to the Gallinacep-
cycling each other with outstretched necks
and dropping wings. At each attempt to
strike on the part Of the rooster, the par
fridge, with the rapidity Of flash, would
hop, Or rather fly, over the head Of his
unlucky opponent, and passing, would
use as weapons of offence both wings and
claw with astonishing effect. At each on
set this passing was repeated several times
without inIermission, and then the pos
ture of attack would he resumed.
In this manner the duello was carried
on, round after round, but it soon became
evident that, owing to his activity a1d
strange and superior mode Of attack, the
smaller of the two opponents must event
ually become the victor. Feeling his adj
vantage, the little hero's fury knew NO
bounds. Striking from all sides, he pun
ished the unlucky rooster till his crest
and wattles were torn to shreds, and half
blind, bleeding, and stunned, he became
utterly demoralized and took to his heels
Little, however, did his flight avail him
The partridge, bent on carrying hostiE
ties to the bitter end, followed the roos-
ter, knocking him down repeatedly by
the violence Of the blows, till, vanquisheo
beyond hope, lying fat on the sod, hid
ing his bruised and bleeding head under
tuft of grass, he surrendered at discre
tion.-FoTest and Stream.

Poe Reciting "Thc Raren.'

Once, in discussing ''The Raven" Poe
observed that he had never heard it cor
rectly delivered by even the best readers
be read. That evening, number of Wis
itors being present, he was requested to
recite the poem, and complied. His i'm
press;ve delivery held the company spell
bound, but in the midst of it, I, happen
ing to glance toward the open window
above the level roof Of the greenhouse,
beheld group of sable faces the whites
of whose eyes shone in strong relief
against the surrounding darkness. These
were number of our family servants,
who having heard much talk about Mr..
Poe the poet" and having but an imper
feet idea of what poet was, had requested
permission of my brother to witness the
recital. AS the speaker became more i'm
passioned and excited, more conspicuous
grew the circle Of white eyes, until when
at length he turned suddenly toward the
window, and, extending his arm, cried,
with awful vehemence:
SECT thee back into the tempest, and the
nights Plutoniann'
there was sudden disappearance of the
sable visages, scuttling feet, and the
gallery audience was gone. Ludicrous',as
was the incident, the final touch was
given, when at that moment Miss Poe,
who was an extraordinary character in
her way sleepily entered the room, and
with dull and drowsy deliberatiol
seated herself on her brothers knee. He
had subsidized from his excitement into 8
gloomy despair, and now, fixing his eyes
upon his sister, he concluded:
And the raven never fitting, still is sitting
still sitting,
On the palli a.. bust J Of Pallas, just above m!
And its eyes have all the seeming Of a demo,
that is dreaming
The effect was Irresistible; and as tn,

young persons in corner was responded
to by a general laugh. Poe remarked
quietly that on his next delivery Of
| public lecture he would ''take Ros

excellent cause, and so | could not take
my luggage to another hotel. All that
could do was to write to Washington for

their arrival. The first day walked

and this feeling increased to such an ex-
tent toward evening that entered a res
taurant and ordered dinner, without any
very clear idea how I was going to pay
for it except by leaving my coat, and
possibly my trousers, in pledge.
In Boston the restaurants are IN cellars,
and there is bar near the door, where

AS consumed my dinner, observed that
ali the walters, who were Irislmen, We're

conscience made me presume that this

and that they were discussing whether
my clothes would cover my bill. At las.
one OF them approached me and said Il

Meagher?" Now this patriot was a gen
tleman who had aided Smith O'Brien il
his Irish rising, had been sent to Australia
ana had escaped thence to the United
States. 1t was my business to look after
''patriots," so l put my finger before my
lips and said, Hush" whist | cast I'D
my eyes to the ceiling as though | saw "a

choicest viands were placed before me,

my bill. The proprietor, also an Irishmau

further allowed all the walters 10 shake

the stern, resolved, but somewhat condo

blowing up stu,nps.

1t has been demonstrated that stumps
can be blown out of the ground much
cheaper than pulled out. In an expert
ment lately tried, five stumps were oper-
ated on, the first being oak. A hole was
punched under it between two projecting
roots. Then a cartridge Of dynamite
about two inches long, and an inch in
diameter, was inserted in the hole, which
was made with a crowbar; and on heing
fired, the stump was blown out. Next a
chestnut stump was served in the same
way; and it was blown, as the report says
''to atoms" Other stumps which would
have cost dollar each to remove in any
other way, were thrown out skyward. A
charge was put under rock about two
tons weight, and it was thrown from its
bed and shattered to pieces. With larger
charges, stumps were blown 1875 feet.
Dynamite was also shown to be power
full agent in breaking up rocks, by drill
ing holes in them from six to twelve
inches deep; and charging them with
dynamite, which is put up in packages of
oiled muslin, in shape like a candle, and
impervious to water. One end is opened
when used, and a hole is made in the
powder with stick to insert percus-
sion cap an inch long, and loaded half its
length with Illuminating mercury. Then
fuse is inserted in the cap, which with
other appliances, renders the successful
use of this powerful explosive powder q
thing to be carefully learned, or some
thing might be ssblown up besides
stumps and rocks.

Sea- Water as a Bererage.

Visitors at the seaside who out of curl
osity have slipped little of the salt water
will easily understand the intense thirst
generally caused by its continuous use.
This thirst is the chief torture endured by
persons who have taken refuge from a
laundering ship in small boat, and find
themselves without fresh water on the
open ocean. Many instances are on re-
cord of men, thus exposed, being driven
mad by resorting to sea-water to quench
their intolerable craving for something to
drink; and in works of fiction this great
horror of shipwreck has been frequently
depicted. Yet itappears upon some of the
coral islands of the Pacific Ocean there
exists race Of men who actually use sea-
water as their daily beverage. These
islands are situated at an immense dis
lance from the mainland, surrounded by
the boundless ocean; they are of small
size, and being elevated only very slight
ly above the level of the waves, and with
out vegetation except few cocoanut trees,
contain no streams or springs Of fresh
water. If wells are sunk they yield a
brackish liquid, little differing from that
Of the ocean.
The inhabitants are therefore obliged
to drink from the sea, and they do so con-
stantly without i'll effect So extraordi-
nary a circumstance has caused much
conjecture as to whether these men are
constitutionally different in some manner
from others; or whether they have grad
ually accustomed themselves to its use al
times when cocoanuts were scarce, and
the milk that they Fafforded unavail.

both causes, since now and then insta nee:

From "Reminiscences by Noah Brooks, Scribner for

SO much has been written about Lin
coins private life and personal habits,
that it seems unnecessary now to add
more than word. He was simple in al
his tastes liked old songs and old poetry.
He was always neatly, but not fnically
dressed. He disliked gloves, and once
saw him extract seven or eight pairs Of
gloves from an overcOat pocket, where
they had accumulated after having been
furnished him by Mrs Lincoln. Usually,
he drank tea and coffee at the table, but
he preferred milk, or cold water Wine

except when visitors, other than familiar

touched it to his lips. Sometimes he

He was cordial and aifabIe, and his
simple-heartcd manners made a strong
impression upon those who met him Tor
the first time. I have known impression

his gentle bearing, to go away IN tears.
Once | found him sitting In his chair so

put out his hand, mechanically, as if TO

before he was reused enough to say that

the long "queue' of peoples, shook

Eggs. Ana way. of Using rnen.

DR.. Edward Smith says: 1t would not
be possible to exaggerate the value Of
eggs as an article Of food, whether from
their universal use, Or the convenient
form in which the food as preserved, pre-
sented and cooked, and the nutriment
they contain. Again ne says: There is
no egg Of a bird known which is not
good for food, or which would not be
eaten by hungry man. The white of
eggs consists Of nearly pure albumen,
oils, sulphur and'water. Albumen is con
sidered the most important single ele-
ment of food. 1t is found in all com
pounded animal structurers, and in the
vegetable productions most valuable for
food, though in modified form.
There is great differ ence in the value
OF different eggs, as there is in there size
and flavor, Well fed domestic fowls yield
far richer food in their eggs than common
wild fowls. Many suppose that raw eggs
are more easily digested than those that
are cooked, but for the most persons this
is not the case, if the eggs are not cooked
Improperly. DR.. Smith thinks it is mis-
take to give mixture Of raw eggs and
milk to invalids, such mixture tending
more to hinder than to promote digestion.
Dyspeptics often think that they cannot
eat eggs at all, and it is the case that del
icate stomachs do sometimes suffer great
ly from eating any but the freshest Of
eggs. When we cannot be sure Of the age
of the eggs provided, it is always safer to
break them before cooking. For invalids
the very safest way is to drop the egg
from the shell without disarranging its
form, into water boiling in shallow
dish
A few minutes boiling is sufficient, and
no dressing is necessary, except a trifc Of
salt for those who eat anything salty,
though, of course, good butter and pepper
may be added, or the egg may be care
fully laid upon toast. For a family OF
Children, it is often more convenient, in
all respects. to serve eggs in scrambled
! form, or in omelets, than to cook them
separately. Some children are notional
and will not eat the white of an egg, 9th.
ers think they dislike the yolk, but when
both are cooked together they think moth.
ing about it, but eat with pleasure all they
can get. In most receipt books, the di.
rections for scrambling eggs advise q
good piece of butter with which to cook
the eggs, seasoning them with salt and
pepper, and with chopped parsley, if you
prefer it, you can use milk instead of but
ter, and for Children, this is best. The
proportions used for an omelet are very
good cup Of milk for six eggs. Thi!
increases the quantity. The eggs art
broken but not beaten, and are stirred
simply to mix we'll, and to prevent burn
ing while cooking.

Quoting farming will soon have no far n
ing: for if he is depending on it for liv-
ing he will become bankrupt, or if doing
it for amusement, the drain on capital
will be SO heavy as to cause prudence to
step in and end such a losing transaction.
Some men are so opiniated as to mag
inc themselves competent to manage a
farm without any looking forward, and
they will make inadequate preparation
for winter and have Lothing in readiness
by the time it is wanted, ana if anything
goes wrong it is laid at the door of so ne
other than the right person. There is not
a more pitiable and contemplate man
than the one who thinks himself smarter
than any one else, and yet runs around
seeking to charge all his shortcomings to
others, while he alone is to blame.
There are men who are, too stingy to
make good fences or properly repair those
which are rotting or tumbling down, and
who yet talk of being stock farmers, and
they will buy grade short-horns, grade
Jerseys, mongrels of all colors and sizes,
and expect the puplic to admire their
animals and believe them to be some
thing superior. Now by using good
pure bred bulls and raising the calves,
Improvements could be made in these
grades, but those niggardly souls will
begrudge the trouble to raise the calves,
and either sell them for veal or let them
90 with the cow to dairvman.
System would raise all the heifer calves
and by using good bulls each generation
would become better. Or, any man with
sufficient capital would commence with
some really good pure bred stock, and
breed and sell frst-class animals, and
thus conduct the breeding on a system
Of continually selling at double and treble
the price of common stock and gain
ing extra profits. System, too, will cause
any man Of intelligence to have every de-
partment methodically conducted, and
not to have anything delayed or capri
ciously changed from the rotation or reg
ular course. But the miserable, shiftless
farmer will have piece of blowing in
the middle Of meadow and a field OF
corn or grain with no fence between ii
and the pasture, and then every neigh
Dor will be complaining of injury from
stock through the bad fences, He will
also be SO simple as to attempt to iatten

niture more neatly. This led the father
OF the family to mend broken chair or
two, which kept him at home several
evenings. After they were mended he
stayed at home instead of spending his
leisure hours at the tavern, and the money
thus saved went to buy comforts for them
all. As the home grew attractive the
whole family loved it better than ever be-
fore, and grew healthier and happier with
their flowers. Thus the little plant
