Ancient Medicine.

In the time of plague some carry toad
powder, a toad, live spider enclosed
in some convenient receptacle), arsenic
or some such poisonous substance, upon
their persons, which they say attracts
the infection of the air TO themselves,
which otherwise might attack the per-
son who carries it. 1t is also claimed
that this same toad powder attracts all
the poison of a pestilential tumor. Re-
ceipt for toad powder. Take three or
four large toads, seven or eight spiders
and as many scorpions, put them to-
gether in an open crucible and allow
them to remain for some time; +; then add
virgin wax and seal the vessel well;
cook quietly till all is dissolved, work
it well With spatula into an ointment

A New Order.

The other day, after strapping
young man had sold load of corn and
and potatoes on the market and had
taken his team to a hotel barn TO ''feed''
1t became known TO the men around the
barn that he was very desirOus of join
ing some secret society in town. When
questioned he admitted that such was
the case, and the boys at once offered to
initiate him in a new order, called the
Cavaliers of Coveo." He was told
that il was twice as secret as Free Ma
sonry, much nicer than Odd Fellow
ship, and the cost was only two dollars.
In case he had the toothache he could
draw five dollars per week from the re-
lief fund, and he was entitled TO receive
ten dollars for every headache, and
twenty-five dollars for a sore throat.
The young man thought that ne had
struck big thing, and after eating a
hearty dinner he was taken in a store
room above the barn to be initiated.
The boys poured cold water down his
back, put -four on his hair, swore him
TO kill his mother, if commanded, and
rushed him round for an hour without
single complaint from his lips. When
they had finished he inquired:
Now I'm one of the Cavaliers of
Coyeo, am IL"
You are" they answered.
"Nothing more to learn is there?'
Nothing"
swell, then, I'm going to lick the
whole crowd !" continued the candidate
and he went at it, and before he got
through he had his two dollars initia-
ton fee back, and three more to boot,
and had knocked everybody down two
or three times apiece. He didn't seem
greatly disturbed in mind as he drove
out of the barn. On the contrary his
hat was slanted over, he had fresh
five-cent cigar in his teeth, and he mild
ly said to one of the barn boys:
Say, boy, if you hear of any cava-
liers asking for Coveo about my size,
tell 'em I'll be in on the full moon to
take the Royal Sliyfugle degrees"

Colonel Thornton of the East India
service, tells this romance of his youth !:
"One clear star light evening in
June, Helen and were. walking on the
terrace among flower-beds that were
cut in the soft green turf. Inspired by
he stiffness and odorous influence of
The air, 1 told her my hearts secret,
with all its hopes and fears.
"She looked up at me wonderingly,
and tears glistened in her beautiful
eyes as she said:
"Ah, Captain Thornton, are you sure,
do you-do you love me? 1t cannot be.
No, never!"
"'Why,' cried, impetuously press
my suit with her, you love anothers'
"'Sir,' she said almost sharply, do
you know who amp"
"'The loveliest girl in Englandv
"'No, sir; am not; Great heavens,
Captain Thorton, l am your grand
mother

shocks after that, won't your l tried
to speak, but my voice failed me. i
reached out my hand and touched her.
Yes, she was there, real enough, and
was not dreaming.
"'Tell me ALL gasped.
"'And standing there, by the broad
stone coping, she told me oil. How
her parents had died when she was lit
tie more than an infant, and Sir John,
her guardian and my grandfather, had
watched over her with jealous care al
ways keeping her at school, however,
until he brought her home-a young
lady.
''Then, while was in India, the poor
old man fell suddenly ill, and on his
dying bed persuaded his young ward to
marry him, just in order to share his
vast estate, which she had refused to
take as legacy.
Sand believe me- said Miss Helen, Il
did it only to keep it for you, the right
full heir, whose wildness had tempora-
rily provoked the old gentleman.

DOMESTIC.

SOME ECONOMICAL DIsHEs.-Rice pud-
ding for five persons can be furnished
at a cost of nine or ten cents, as fol-
lows: Take a small teacupful Of rice
aud sugar each half a teacup of raisins,
two quarts OF sweet skim milk and a
little salt. Bake slowly from two to
three hours and you will have some
thing nutritious, healthful, cheap and
satisfactory.-A family supper, consist

cake, and milk or sage tea well
trimmed, is pretty good living for
common people, is very simple and
cheap, and the persons who practice Ii
are not conscious of having done any
thing extraordinary in the scrimpings
line.-Not long since bought hogs
head, costing four cents pound cut OF
the jowls and salted them, and they
furnished pork for two messes of baked
beans, enough for two meals tor a
family of six, and 1t was much more
delicious and tender than the ordinary
side-pork. After divesting the remain

soaked in water for "a hours, scraped

The Little Hand.

Votive Offering were common among
the Norwegian fishermen. A legend
states that a mariner wished on Christ
mas day to give the spirit of the waters
a cake; but when he came to the shore,
10! the waters were frozen over. Un-
willing to leave his offerings on the ice
and so to give the spirit the trouble Of
breaking the ice to obtain it. the fisher
took a pickaxe and set to work to make
a hole. In spite of all his labor he was
only able to make a very small hole,
not nearly large enough to put the cake
through. Having laid the cake on the
ice while he thought what was best to
be done, suddenly very tiny little
hand, as white as snow, was stretched
through the hole, seized the cake, and
crumpling it up together, withdrew
with it. Ever since that time the cakes
have been so very small that the water
sprites have had no trouble with them.
In this legend originated the compli-
ment so often paid to q aNorweign lady {:
"Your hand is like a water-sprites."

FRENCH BREAD. - As a rule the
French bread is always sweet and good.
and two things contribute in a great
degree to this-that is the manner or
form of baking. They never make a
thick loaf; no matter what the size or
shape, it is always thin, and more than
two-thirds crust. They bake their
bread until it is perfectly cooked. The
ioaves being so thin, the heat strikes
through very soon after they are placed
in the oven; hence all fermentation is
stopped, while in the case of large
loaves fermentation goes on after the
bread has been in the oven for some
time, and of course much of the sweet
ness is lest. Then in baking so long
and having so much crust, there is a
peculiar sweetness given which can be
obtained in no other way.

splint. Turn the pudding out of the
mould and send it to the table with the
fiavoring sauce. Stir together over the
fire one ounce each of flour and butter; !;
as soon as they are smooth pour into
them half a pint of boiling milk, add

Professor DoIbedr of Tufts College
has invented a galvanometer which
measures the strength of the electric
current directly, instead of indirectly,
as is done by the needle galvanometer.
He has utilized the attractive foIce ex-
erted by a common helix to draw the
core within itself when current OF
electricity is passed through it; the
stronger the current the greater the at
tractive force. and by a simple mechan-
anism, consisting of a spiral spring, a
pointer and graduated scale, the
strength OF the current can be readily
seen. Professor Dolbear has also in
vented an electric lamp which has an
Illuminating power equal to 20O0 can
dies and gives steady light.

sugar; boil until ready to candy, then
throw In three quarts of corn, nicely
popped; stir briskly until the candy Is
evenly distributed over the corn; set
the kettle from the fire and stir until it

grain separate and crystallized with

have too hot fire, lest you scorch the

electricity should not be made applica-

this would effect what our mining en-

long been looking for. 1t would give
the men a light such as they have never

larger quantity of coal in given time

barely suffices to make the blackness OF

The Cat.-what food do cats preferp

The Cdt.-What food do cats prefer?
A $40 mocking bird is their first
choice. If the family are not able to
keep a mocking bird. the cat must put
up with an oriole or German canary.
1t is only when suffering for food that
a cat will accept sirloin steak.
Cats can't sing, can they?
No; but, bless 'em! they can keep
trying to learn how. They have got so
they can sound the first four notes on
the scale. and they are determined to
get the rest.
What time do they sing the sweetest?
At night between the hours of IL P.
II. and 4 A. NJ. You have probably
read Items about bold, bad men flinglng
boot jacks, sticks of wood and other
missiles at singing cats. Don't ever as
sociate with such people. Cats have as
much right in America as any one else,
and il is only the meanest kind of folks
who will try to keep 'em from rising
up in the world.
How long do cats live?
Nobody knows, as no cat ever had a
fair show to see how many years he
could put in. After he has hung around
one neighbOrhood for fifteen or twenty
years some one murders him in cold
blood.
