To Cook Pork-Freshen a ] dozen
slices of salt pork; take egg and thick

thick as for pancakes; dip the slices of
pork in the batter and fry.

blespoonful of saleratus; flour enough
to roll out; roll thin; cut in squares and
bake in a shallow pan.
zeal Hash.-Chop veal fine, add a
lump of butter as large as walnut, salt
and pepper to your taste, cup of cream
or good milk, dust in flour enough to
thicken the gravy sufficiently, and pour
hot over some nicely toasted and but
tered bread. An excellent breakfast
dish.
Pork SpareTi6. it nicely before
roasting, and crack the ribs across.
Take care not to have the fire too hot.
1t should be basted with a little butter
and flour, and sprinkled with fine sage.
1t takes from two to three hours to cook,
as pork should never be underdOne. APP
ple-sauce, mashed potatoes and greens
are proper accomplishments.
To Hull Corn.-Cover your corn with
I've and let it boil till the hulls will slip
easily; then pour it into large pan of
water and rub thoroughly with the
hands; pour off and add more water till
it is clear of bulls; then put on and boil
till the grains burst open. Place in jars
in a cool place. This is nice to eat with
milk, but still better fried in pork gravy.
Zeal Outlets BreGded.-Beat up an
egg and dip your outlets into it,then into
fine bread-crumbs and fry in hot lard,
until thoroughly done. Take them up
and make nice brown gravy and pour
over them. Garnish with parsley or

King Humbert's Body-Guard.

Following the royal carriage came
the body-guard of the King. They are
the tallest men in the kingdom, every
one of them being over six feet in
height. Their dress is exceedingly pic
turesque. They have high-top boots,
tight-fitttng white breeches, breast
plates of polished steel, helmets of gilt
tering steel and gold, with great sweep
ing plumes of horse hair, black as night.
To the belt of each one is buckled a
sword in steel scabbard. They are q
magnificent troop of men and they car
ry themselves as though they were
aware of this fact. The visitor, when
he first comes to Rome, looks with as.
constituent upon these huge men, and the
mind reverts to the days of Marius, Tul-
la or Cesar, and fashioning their lie.
gions out of such material as this he
sees, he hardly knows which to admire
and wonder at the most, the martial
bearing and stature of the bold array OF
the genius of the communication

Nests in Odd Places.

Of all the strange places chosen by the
birds for rearing their young, one of the
queerest is mentioned in HardCtcke's
Science Gossip. In the railway-station
at Coventry, the sparrows have a great
fancy for building their nests inside a
signal-bell that is rung many times in
the day, and often in the night-three
or four blows being struck each time.
The bell is saucer-shaped, and about ten
inches in diameter. The apparatus con-
nected with the bell is rather compli-
Gated, so that, when it is struck, 'there
is, besides the loud ringing, great rat
tie and noise of levers, and a heavy
thump caused by the falling counter
weight" Despite this loud and frequent
din in their ears, and the agitation it
must cause their dwellings, the spar
rows persist in building in this bell, and
their nests are frequently removed by the
railway officials. Still the birds have
succeeded in Matching and rearing their
young in this curious place.

And you, little Billy, you fighting boy,
Lying so low and dark?

A man of splints, bandages, sticks,
Will you fight any more on your shot-riddled

our temporary absence from the room,

NAY.
TENNESSEE.

When beeches brighten early Nav,
And young grass shines along her way;
When April willows meet the breeze
Like sOftest dawn among the trees:
When smell Of Spring fills all the air,
And meadows bloom, and blue birds pair;
When Love first bares her sunny head
over the brook and lily-bed;
Nothingot sound or sight to gT-ieve
From choiring morn TO quiet eve
My heart will not, for ali its ease,
Forget the days 90 follow these.
This loneliness shall be betrayed,
This happiest of music played
From field to field, by stream and bough,
Shall silent be as tuneful now,
The silver launch OF thistles sail
AdOwn the solitary vale;
That blue sOlicitude of sky
Bent over beauty doomed 20 die,
With nightly mist shall witness here
The yielded glory of the year.

representatives, Of tho National Guard consisting OF
Major General snaler Inspector General Woodward,
General vmar, General yarian and others, relative
to the proposed construction OF brigade armory on
the site Of the Forty second street reservoir.
The principal arguments recently used before tho
Aidermanic Committee to necessity erecting
armory located In the central part Of the city
again propounded yesterday. In ailuding to tho
proposition as TO the Fifth avenue reservoir
General Shaler remarked that he had read the
plans submitted to The Board oil Aldermen ana ap.
proved OF tnem. According 10 these plans tho
armory would cost about $500, ,0O0 lie Understood

Thirty-lhird and Tnrty-iourth streets Fourth and
Lexington avenues. 1t could be purchased for
eligible for such armory. Troops could be
moved with from tnat quarter to any part OF the
CITY. The members oil the National Guard were pre-
pared TO discuss the practi ticaoily OF converting the
reservoir into an appropriate building to be used for
armory purposes.
President Roberts said that the lots on the Fifth
avenue side OF the reservoir were worth $40 900
piece. and those ON the other SIDE about $4,000 EACH
He considered tho whole ground on which tue reser-
vor was built to be worth according to the present
market price, between 81, 200 900 and 81, 400 900.
Alderman Sauer remarked That tho properly was
estimated at 81, SOC, 900.
Inspector General Woodward also favored the idea
OF converting the reservoir into brigade armory

thought the ateraon would result In saving to the

ComD,roler Kelly expressed the opinion that tho
reservoir properly should oe Sold the present CON
dion oil the city finances furnished strong argu-
ment against mourning any further public expenses
unless improvements were essentially required. Ac-
cording TO estimates the whole cost OF armory,
including the value oil the ground would probably be

an armory might be 0btainea around Sixiy-eighth
