Hearing Through Iue Teeth.

1t is not every man who can hear
with his teeth better than with his ears,
but there are two or three employees of
the Water-Works, says the Springfield
tMass.) Union, who can tell whether
water is passing through a pipe by rest
ing the teeth on stopcock and stop
ping both ears with the fingers. The
operation was performed recently in
front of the Massasoit House, where
pipe was supposed to be INSTRUCTED. In
this case the workman held one end Of
small metal rod in his teeth, allowed
the other end to touch the top of the
stopcock, covered both ears, and quick
ly said, II hear a small quantity of wa
ter passing through the pipe"

How to Gid Rid of Bad Temper.

A lady, lead of household, was
troubled with al eXcitable temper. She
had a good Christian servant come into
her service. To this Christian girl she
one day excused herself for her bad
temper, and hoped the like would not
occur again. She said, 80, mistress, l
do so pity you. once had just such a
temper as you have, and l can feel for
you" '.You had just such temper as

that nothing ever moved you; and you

He will, mistress, if you will give it
up to Him. 1t is too strong for you TO
conquer; but He can easily do it, if it
all be given up to him." The mistress
and maid knelt together, and Jesus
was besought to do that definite and
specific thing: and He did it, and that
was like another family from that day.

Effect of Ether ON Plants.

The eminent Psychologist, NJ. Claude
Bernard, has lately made number OF
experiments, which proves that etheri-
cation acts on plants as well as on ami
mails. All vital acts, whether in the
animal or in the plant, may be anasthet
lied. Thus, in plants, termination is
arrested by the influence Of ether. The
author proves this In the case of cress
introduced into tube with ether. The
termination was stopped: on remov-
ing the ether, however, it began again.
1t was not case of death but only
anathesia. The same occurred in the
other plants, and even with ferments,
whether Ofpants OF Of animals. Thus,
beer-yeast in contact with ether for
tWenty-fOur hours, is thrown into
sleep, from which, however, it aWakens
when the etherizaton ceases. NJ. Bert
III his experiment On the influence of
oxygen on living things, killed the
yeast. NJ. Bert observes that, as re-
CARDS sensitive object, we should dis
tinguish its provocable movements and
its spontaneous movements. Under
the influence of etheriZation it is only
the former that are arrested, the Others
still go on.

Domestic Recipes.

Cake Making and Baking.-A good
rule III making cake is to mix the but
ter and sugar thoroughly together, and
beat the eggs until light; if you use
sweet milk, sift the baking powder, or
cream of tartar and soda, in with the
flour the last thing; if sour milk is
used, dissolve the soda in little warm
water, and add to the milk. The fire
for baking should be steady, and not
too hot, for the success of your cake
depends, i'll a 81 It measure, on well
regulated oyeltA'akes to be kept fresh
should be plac, n tin box or stone
jar, covered ciNly and put in cool
place.
Delicious Cake.-Two cups sugar,
one cup butter, one cup sweet milk,
three eggs, three cups -four, half tea
spoon soda, one teaspoon cream tartar,
flavor with nutmeg.
Fruit Cake.-ThTee cups sugar, one
cup butter, one and half cups cream,
three eggs, five cups flour, one pound
raisins, one teaspoon soda, spice to
taste; reserve a cup of the flour to
sprinkle over the the raisins, and put
them i'll the last thing.
Sponge Cake.-Ten eggs, their weight
lin their shells) of sugar, half their
weight in flour, beat the eggs and sugar
well together, and add the -four; flavor
with lemon.
Scald your bedsteads in the hottest
soapsuds you can apply. If there are
traces Of bugs apply kerosene with a
small paint brush.
Cockroaches can be kept away with
powdered borax. Keep it in a tin pep
per-boX and sprinkle it wherever they
go.
Fish should be washed as little as
possible, and white fish, after being
cleaned and wiped with damp cloth,
should have the stomach stuffed with
salt for an hour OF two before cooking.
Fish should be put on III cold water, so
that the inner part may be sufficiently
done, and also, it is less liable to break.
This rule holds good, except for very
small fish, or for salmon boiled in slic-
es. when boiling water should be used.
The time will depend on the kind and
size of fish, but it may be easily known
il is drawing UP the fish-plate and try
lng if it will separate from the bone.
Here, rs in other things, practice is
better than all the directions that can
he given, as so much depends on the
strength of the fire and the size of the
fish 4 little salt and vinegar should
be always put into the water, and some
prefer their fish boiled i'll what is called
a court bouillion, and this is how 1t
is done Lay the fish i'll the tish-kettle
with enough cold water to cover it, add
glass Of wine or vinegar, sliced car
rots and onions, pepper, salt and lau-
rel leaf, bunch of parsley, faggot OF
sweet herbs, or some of the same pow
dered and tied up in muslin bag
These seasonings impart fine flavor
TO most boiled fish, excepting salmon
and for fresh water fish it is considered
very useful for getting rid of the mud
DIV taste they often have.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE schooner

rife gale, lasting seventy hours, which
washed everything movable from

heavy gale, the vessel sprung q leak. On
the 9th three ot tho crew gave out,
leaving only four to manage the vessel
and the pumps, and we were fast becom-

attempted to kill Walter Sampson, but
was instantly killed by the latter, who
during the afternoon, eat portion OF bis

Refore leaving the schooner, the crew
became so craZed with hunger that it was
suggested they would be obliged 10 cast
lots for one Of their number to furnish
food to keep the others alive. For eight
days nothing passed their lips except
fresh water and tobacco, which appeased
their hunger only slightly. Finally ore
of the sailors was killed in quarrel,

was thrown overheard and the limbs
were salted down for food. From the
