The rule is the same as for scalloped
oysters, ana may be used for cooking any
kind of cold meat, and when crackers
cannot conveniently be Lad, good dish
may be made OF it by substituting bread
crumbs for cracker crumbs. Put layer
of cracker crumbs in the bottom OF a
pudding dish wet this with milk; cover
with a layer Of finely chopped veal; sea
son the meat with salt and pepper, and
other tlavOrifg i, you choose, and scatter
bits of butteroyer it; then put a layer OF
crscker crumbs wet with milk, another of
seasoned meat. and SO on, alternately,
finishing with layer of crackers mixed
with beaten egg land place it in the oven
about half an hour; then remeve the
cover, and allow it to bake nice brown.

Cairo Correspondence New York Times,
| cannot say that we are having glorious
times here just now, the Khedive having
quite abdicated. The new financial commits
sion-the rivers Wilson one--are doing
everything with high hand, oyerturning
everything where Englishmen are not in
volved / have never believed, as is gener
all believed here, that England would acquire
a protectorate over Egypt, for she can have
has already-all the benefits which she
might secure by protectorate without any
of the ills that might accompany formal as
sumption of responsibility. For year
back a simple intimation of the English
ministry has had all the efficacy of an order
here; putting Englishmen at enormous
salaries-$2O,O 900, $25,000. and $4,000 a
year-into nearly all the prominent positions
in the country. If she can get such hold
upon the country as to be equivalent to a
practical abdication by the Khedive, there
will be no necessity for doing more, no need
of risking a rupture with France, which both
Germany and Russia have hoped to create.
To give you clear understanding of mat
tiers will cite an instance or two of English
preferment An Englishman has under his
management the entire Soudan. He was
ministry. Indeed, ON his arrival here, just
before receiving the appointment, he refused
to see the Khedive until the counsel-general
here, the representative of the ministry, of
course, secured from the Khedive all that
was required--the concession of absolute au-
thority, and the promise of salary of $780,
600 year. The navy is in English hands,
the coast-guard is also under English con-
troll and the force detailed to execute the
provisions of the slave treaty between Eng
land and Egypt is directed by Englishmen.
The railroads, the telegraph-lines, the Gus
toms and revenue collections are controlled
by England. Last of all comes the Wilson
commission. The KhedIve claimed that the
taxes and other revenues of the country
were insufficient to keep the necessary ma
chin' ry of the government in operation, If
he was obliged to pay the high rate of in
terest now exacted. The bondholders con-
tended that he could pay, and SO, to deter
mine the matter, the commission was APP
pointed. This is equivalent for the time
being to complete abdication. How long it
will last we can only guess, when the man.
mon loving members of the commission,
Wilson and his associates, are receiving such
princely salaries.

HOUSE AND FARM.

HOW TO Meet the Colorado Potato Beetle
a general belief prevails that thousands
of acres Of potatoes will, this year, be
abandoned and ploughed up as fallow
for wheat.
The judicious planter in all sections
where the unwelcome sight of lively bugs
appear on every furrow turned over, Will
plant only as much ground as he can keep
faithful watch over for, no matter by what
mode of destruction he meets the enemy,
prompt and repeated action is called tor
When possible, the judicious farmer Will
also plant in neighborhoods where pota-
toes were not grown the previous season;
ne will also bear in mind that the tender
leaved varieties are most affected by the
beetle, while the Peach Blow, Early Rose,
and the like, have comparative immunity,
especially when grown in the same field
with the more tender varieties, which at
tract the greatest proportion of pests.
The beetles that issued from the ground
early, giving promise that this pest was
likely to prove as troublesome this
season as last, sent anxious inquiries
all over the country, and have filled the
columns of agricultural journals with
=
agencies against these industrious enem-
les. A New York correspondent ANNOUNCE
es liquid form of bUrax as an untaillng
panacea for this and other bugs. From
Wisconsin comes the assurances that
poultry turned into the potato-fields will
soon denude the vines of all bugs; while
an Ohio correspondent is equally certain
that sheep permitted to roam among the
bug-burdened vines will become the
medium through which the Colorado
beetle will finally disappear from off the
race of the earth. These, as we'll as num-
erOus other suggestions, are like old wom-
ems recipes for herb teas, tiaxseed and
onion poultices-g as far as they go,
but not accepted By large planters as in
surances of full yields.
This important subject Of remedies, re-
garding which so many diverse opinions
exist, has been divided into the heads OF
natural, chemical, and mechanical rem
idies. 1t is a cheering fact that already
the natural checks to the increase of the
Colorado beetle have been operating in
most efficient manner. Not only docs
its genuine parasite tachina fly re-
sembling somewhat the common horse-fly
---prey Upon it, but several binds, among
which are the crow. and the common
quail, and the barn-yard fowls, when
starved to it. Nor should the fact be
omitted that dry, hot summer acts as a
conditional preventive of the increase of
these insects.
The chemical remedy mostly in vogue
is Paris green, which several well known
authorities on this subject pronounce
efficient and harmless when applied
'udiciously. When pure, and diluted
with twenty-five to thirty times its weight
in flour, it causes no injury to the vines,
and kills the insects. fhe varied success
attending its use, as reported through our
agricultural papers, must be attributed
TO the difference in the quality of the
drug.
