To Cook Asparagus: Usual receipts

To Cook Asparagus; Usual receipts
for cooking asparagus state that half an
hour is necessary. 20 minutes is SUI
ficient. 1t is too delicate vegetable to
be overlooked, for all the flavor is vast
ed then. Clean the stalks of grit, wash
in cold water, and be sure to tie up the
asparagus in bundles of 10 or 20 when
you 90 to boil them, Have your water
on the full boil, in which there should
be good tablespoonful of salt; cook 20
minutes outside; drain thoroughly,
steaming them slightly when they are
cooked. Serve on toast, with sauce
of melted butter. Asparagus boiled
plain and eaten cold, with a plain OIL
and vinegar dressing, is excellent.

Preserved Oysters.

Dried oysters would certainly be q
novelty in America, bu according to
an exchange, they are quite common in
China. The bivalves are taken from
the shells, plunged for an instant into
boiling water, and then exposed to the
rays of the sun until every particle of
moisture has evap oraled, when it is said
the7 will keep for length of time,
while preserving the full delcacy of
their favor. The finest and fattest oys.

cess those taken f ON the natural beds

A MYkterY Explained.

Parlor scene: Mrs. Brown, who has spent
the summer among the White Mountains in
search of health, and who seems to have
searched the whole mountain side without be-
ing able to find a pair of blooming cheeks or
an inch of healthful skin: Mrs. White who
has remained at home because her husband
could not afford to go but whose fresh com
pleXiOn and bright eyes seem to have caught
Their bloom and brightness from mountain
breeZrs.

are lookingl If you will not think me im-
pertinent, let me ask how you can keep so
healthy in this dreadful city2 have been to

Mrs w. (smiling)-I'Il tell you the whole
secret, Mrs. Brown. You remember how
poorly was last spring, some days even being
confined TO my bed. DR.. - told Mr..
White TO send me to the mountains, but l
knew he couldn't afford it, and | tried Dr.
Perces Favorite Prescription. It's effects
were so marvellous that a SO tried his Golden
Medical Discovery, to cleanse my system. In
my opinion, one bottle of tie Prescription
and the Discovery is better than SIX weeks OF
the WhiJe Mountains for sick woman. 1
have only been out of the city week during
the whole summer; then my husband and
went to Buffalo and stoI ped at DR.. Pierce's
Iuvalids' and Tourists Hotel. The baths and
mechanical apparatus for trtaung patients
were alone worth going to see. Besides, our
accommodations were better than we had at
Long Branch last year, and the drives and
scenery are superb. Let me advise you TO
use DR.. Pierces FaVOrlce Prescription, and
try the Invahds' and Tourisrs' Hotel next
summer instead OF the White Mountains.

Mr.. Beecher's Experience of Poke
Root.

We recommend our readers never to
dig poke-root, supposing it to be horse
radish. We said to q friend at Peeksklll,
two years ago, that we wished she would
get us some poke-root, which grew in
her place. We understood that wher
it was dried and powdered it was just
as good as purging powder for cock
reaches. She said she would. Three
weeks passed; she sent down the root,
wrapped in newspaper, and it was
brought upstairs. We saw it, and sup
posed it was horse-radish. We said
"Take it down into the kitchen" This
was done, and some of it grated to send
up to table. 1t was passed round; /;
somebody took some, and said: "This
doesn't taste like fresh root" We said ::
"Well, it's dead sort of bitter" An
other tasted it and did not like it, ard
we all concluded to let it alone. In
about eight hours after that time more
active family on never saw. Purging,
vouiti' g, loss of sight, and all sorts OF
symptoms of poisOnlny came on, and II
we didn't have one of the most watch
full and merry highs! Indeed, several
hon Gpathic phy.icians sent word to as
certain exactly the symptoms, in order
to correct their descriptions of the ac-
ton of the root, and we were able to
tell them exactly its operation, first,
middle and last. Since then we have
given up all thought of using poke-rCot

The Sunday School concert at the NJ
y, Church last evening" was very
enjoyable affair." The singing by the
choir and the scholars was first class,
and the Rotations in almost every
instance were well rendered. The duet
Hang up the Baby's Stocking by
Anna aud Laurie Miller, was admirably
rendered, and, notwithstanding the
admonition of Mr.. Warrington to the
audience, to keep its enthusiasm within
bounds, brought down the house. A
recitation by Miss Emma Linn, also
deserves special mention, and, though
all did we'll, the general verdict was
that her rendering of Flolden Field
could scarcely be surpassed. 80.

The three planets, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn, now occupy a singular position
in the evening sky. They are almost
exactly in line, and at nearly equal dis
tances from each other. Mars, easily
distinguished by its size, brilliancy and
reddish hue, rs almost directly over
head. Jupiter is in the west, being the
brightest star in the heavens A line
drawn from Jupiter to the constellation
of the Pleiades would nearly intersect
Saturn and Mars. The three planets
seem like beads upon string.

Der or one year from the day of location,
and is answered as follows: accord
ing to tive decisions. Of the courts, on
all claims located prior to May 10, 1872,
the 'anhdal expenditure must be made
before the lst of January Of each year.
On all other lode claims the annual ex.
