1t is on record that a shoemaker in
Edinburgh CHANGED to leave the door of
a lark's cage open, of the bird took ad-
vantage to fly away. About an hour
afterward, a cat belonging to the same
person made its appearance with the
lark in its mouth, which it held by the
wings over the back in such manner
that the bird had not received the least
injury. After dropping the bird on the
floor, she looked up to her master as if
expecting his recognition Of her clever
ness. The writer himself observed many
instances of a remarkable instinct in
cats, and at the present time has one
which every day knocks at the door
sometimes modestly, sometimes with a
sharp double knock like postman, oc-
casionally with series of raps, pianis-
simo, like lady or quiet single gen.
tleman. The door is half glass and the
knocker low. The cat was not taught,
but acquired the trick By his own obser-
vation.

The Largest Workshop in the World

In the establishments of Krupp, of Es-
sen, Germany, the manufacture of cast
steel and refined steel alone employs
two hundred and ninety-eight steam
engines, seventy-seven large steam
hammers, and eight thousand five
hundred men. This famous workshop
turns out daily ten miles of rails, with
corresponding amount of wheels,
springs, aXles, and all the complete
steel work for railroad carriages. This
is Krupp's main contribution to the art
of peace. What he docs for the art of
war is shown by the fact that he com
pletes three hundred large cannon
every month; and since 1S47 he has
turned out over fifteen thousand can
non. The establishment is lighted up
every night with twenty one thousand
gas burners. Its different parts are
connected by thirty-seven miles of rail-
way, employing twenty-four locomo-
tives and seven hundred ears; while the
various Offices are connected by forty
four telegraph stations. In the miner
al works and coal miues outside, be-
longing to The firm, they employ five
housand three hundred wOrkmen; for
the forges, seven hundred workmen-
They have built three thousand two
hundred and seventy-seyen dwelling
houses, which are occupied by the
workman, and their families, whe
number sixteen thousand two hundred
persons and form small town, with
twenty-five stores for groceries, meats,
clothes, shOes, furniture and similar
daily needs. Messrs. krnpp have pro-
vided for the education of the children
of their workmen four primary schools
divided into twenty one classes, an in
dustrial school for girls, and school
for adult women-all attended by thOus-
ands of learners, and provided with the
best kind of teachers, who, according to
the German system, teach the things to
be known and understood, and not
merely lessons from books.

Mr.. FOloler Crossing the ChanHel.-A
curious project was recently carried
out by Mr.. Fowler, an American resld-
ing at Bordeaux. He crossed the Chan
mel on pSdoscaph, 6 meters In length
Each tube o, this podoscaph. which is
Joined by rods, is 20 centimeters broad,
and 80 centimeters high above the wa
ter. Leaving Boulogne at 4 past in
the morning, he arrived at Sandgate at
8 :35 in the afternoon. He experienced
contrary wind and heavy swell dur
ing IA great part of the journey. The
pilots and fishermen were surprised at
seeing man walking, as it were, on
the water. The bold navigator was
met with loud acclamations. He arriv-
ed at Folkestone somewhat fatigued.
During the crossing, which lasted IL
hours, the only refreshment he took was
little coffee and Il small piece of bread =,
the state of the sea preventing his stop
ping. The feat was accomplished TO
the satisfaction of everybody. and is a
striking proof of energy and boldness.
Mr.. Fowler is Chevalier of the Legion
of Honor, and owner OF the yacht Peau-
Rogue, which has gained several prizes
in England and France. He was ac-
eompanied by the Petrel, belonging 10
an English captain.

PRESSED CHICKEN.-I have noticed
when travelling on the cars, that many
of the passengers who carry their lunch,
generally have 4 liberal supply of
chicken. Now, there is no objection to
the fowl itself, but there is to the shape
in which it is taken. When there are
so many good recipes for "pressed" and
'jellied chicken" il seems as if the
bones need not be carried was once
obliged TO occupy a seat on the cars
with a stranger, who entertained me for
a half hour by knawing the wings and
legs of fowl. At the same time another
person who sat directly opposite, was
engaged in the like occupation. If
chicken be prepared according to the
accompanying recipe, travellers need
not be aware of the nature of each
others luncheon: Cut up young
fowl and put it in kettle, with one
coffee-cupful of cold water. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper, and cover closely.
When tender, pick the meat of the
bones, and clap into bits, the size of
peas, and pack in a quart bowl. ThicAen
with flower the little juice that remains
in the kettle, and pour over the chicken.
Put a plate on it, while warm, and Il
heavy weight on the plate. Ii is neces-
sary TO cook the fowl, in but little
water, otherwise it will not jelly. 1t is
best not TO cut pressed chicken until
the day after it is made. Place thin
layers of it between thin slices of bread,
and press firmly together. To be eaten
without separating, like sandwiches.

KEEPING PIcKLEs.-Keep pickles in
glass jars. Glazed jars are as poisonous
as any bell-metal kettle can be. Having
once bought your glass or stone jars,
keep them for that purpose always.
Never allow them to be used for any
thing else. As soon as one is emptied,
wash, scald, set in the sun till well
sweetened, then COY er up and set away
carefully for another year, saving all
the covers or cOrks.

2 tabiespOonfuls of cream, or small
piece OF butter. Make it into loaf,
and bake in dripping-pan without
water, with quick heat at first, TO close
the outside and retain the juices, and
continue the baking about l a to ! y
hour. Serve cut in thin slices. An
excellent lunch in travelling. In Eng
land everybody goes TO the races, and
great preparations are made for the
lunch for those occasions. Veal pre-
pared in this manner is a fayorite at the
race lunch. but will be found useful at
other times. Butter good sized bowl
and line il with thin slices of hard
boiled eggs. Have veal and ham both
in very thin slices; place in the bowl a
layer of veal, with pepper and salt. then
d layer of ham, emitting the salt; then
layer of veal, and so on alternating
with veal and ham until the bowl is
filled. Make paste of -four and water,
as stiff as il can be rolled out; cover the
contents of the bowl with the paste,
and over this tie a doubled cotton cloth
Put the bowl into saucepan, or other
vessel, with water just up 10 the rim of
the bowl, and boil three hours; then
take it from the fire, remove the cloth
and paste, and let it stand until the
next day, when it may be turned out
and served ia very thin slices.
