Cup PLUM PUDD1NG.-Take one cup
each of raisins, currants, -four, bread
crumbs, suet and sugar; stone and cut
the raisins, wash and dry the currants,
chop the suet, and mix all the above
ingredients well together; then add two
ounces of cut candied peel and citron,
a little mixed spice. salt and ginger,
say half a teaspoonful of each; stir in
four wel-beaten eggs, and milk enough

PLUM CAKE.-Take two pounds of
large, fresh raisins, one pound of Cit
ron, eight fresh eggs, two cups of pow
dered sugar, one of butter, four of flour,
one of sweet milk, onc-half teaspoonful
of soda, one nutmeg, grated, half tea
spoonful of ground cloves; sift the
flour and put in the oven to brown, as
you would coffee; cut the raisins in
half and seed them; cut the citron in
strips half inch wide, then slice as hin
as possible; bake in a six-quart basin
two hours. Icing for it, the whites of
four eggs, two cups of powdered sugar,
two tablespoonful of corn-starch, the
juice of one lemon, one ounce of rose
water.
In milking do not seize the teat be-
tween the thumb and forefnger and
drag down until the end slips from the
grasp of the digits. Do not grasp, with
the hand pressing the nails into the
teat, with a squeeze and pull. Grasp
the teat with the thumb partly upward,
and the fingers in their natural position
when closed, next the udder, and, clos
ing the fingers in succession, force the
milk downward, with a gentle pull on
the udder. So proceed alternately
with each hand, going farther and far
Their up into the udder as the flow
ceases, until you have all the milk
drawn. Thus you may milk easily for
yourself and the COW; in fact, the COW
soon comes to like the manipulation.
If few simple rules founded upon
common sense were observed in milk
ing, instead of kicking cows and hold
ing up of the milk, we should soon find
our cows gentle to handle, and much
vexation would be spared to the milk
ers. It should, however, be remem-
bered that in milking cows gentleness
is cardinal virtue.-Prdirie Farmer.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The mean temperature in Cincinnati
for 1873 was 1924 deg. In 1877 it was
1913 deg; 1876. 55.46; 1875, 1926:
1874, $3.50. ,.l -,
The Children's Aid Society, of New
York, has provided homes among the
farmers of Southern Virginia for more
than 200 boys between the ages of II
and Is years. .:sr..tf
IT is noticeable fact that an Insane
Asylum has been erected at Warren,
"a, without consuming all the appro-
priation. The nice sum of 5000, 900 is
left for other purposes.
The imports Of paper in 1873 were
valued at 81, 1926, 600; for 1873, year
ending June 80. they were $135, 700;
and the exports have run up from
$3,777 in 1869 to 81, los, 900 in 1878.
WILLIAM E. DODGE estimates that
there is annually expended in this
country between $500, 100000 and
500, 100000 for intoxicating drinks,
and that as much more is expended as
a consequence of their use.
The total number of paupers in Lon
don at the end of the fourth week in
November was 81,241, of whom AZ, O12
were in Warehouses, and 1,227 re-
ceived outdoor relief. Compared with
the corresponding week in 1877, these
figures show an increase of los, but as
compared with 1876 and 1875, they
show decrease of LOOP and 3,541 re-
spectively.
CANADA may not be great country;
but it has a great debt, which is too
often an unhappy accompaniment of
greatness. She owes $15O,OOO, 900,
has just arranged for loan of $15, OOO,-
600, and is likely to be in the market
ere long for another loan. Her debt is,
in proportion to her resources, larger,
probably, than our National debt, for
her resources are far from abundant.
PARIS has AZ dailies, including the Off,
cset and the Bulletin Francois, rs of
which are published in the morning. Of
the 40 that take party sides, % are Repub-
lcan, 6 Legitimist, 5 Orleanist, and Inn
perialist. The big papers circulate
$4,000 copies day, of which about
400, 900 preach Republican politics, Co.,
600 Orleanist, 10000 Imperialist and
$4,000 Legitimist. The circulation of
the small papers is estimated at 1,2OO,-
600 a day; of this three-quarters is Re-
publican, 100000 disseminate Orlean-
list views, and 10000 Imperialistic.
THE proportion of land covered with
forests throughout Europe is 20 per
cent, of which Russia and Sweden fur
nish the greatest part. In Russia, 40
per cent. of territory is covered with
woods, and of this some 200, 600, 900
acres are covered with pines and other
cone-bearing trees. Sweden and Nor
way have 81 per cent, chiefly birch,
maple, pine, fir and willow. Austria
has 20 per cent, Germany has 26 per
cent. and France II. Far below these
comes Spain, with its cork woods and
evergreen oak forests, covering Z per
cent. of the land, and Holland and
Belgium with the same. Portugal comes
next with 5 per cent, and Great Brit
ain follows with per cent. The per-
centage annually decreases in all coun-
tries rapidly.

Wanted Mr.. Gladstone for q Clerk.

MANY incidents similar to the follow
ing, and quite as amusing, have &C.
CURED in the lives of eminent people.
They illustrate the fact that men who
attain and h0ld places OF greatness arc
generally fit to fill them. A good Chan
cellor would first be good clerk. The
London City Press says:
A curious adventure once occurred
in the London offices of the late Mr..
w. Lindsay, merchant, ship-owner,
and an NJ. P. There one day entered
a brusque but wealthy ship-owner of
Sunderland, inquiring for Lindsay. As
Mr.. Lindsay was out, the visitor was
requested to wait in an adjacent room,
where he found person busily en-
gagged in copying figures. The Sun
derland ship-owner paced the room
several times, and took careful notice
of the writer's doings, and at length
said to him:
"Thou writes a bonny hand, thou
dost.''
81 am glad you think so,'' was the
reply.
"Ah, thou dost; thou machs thy
figures weel; thou'rt just the chap 1
want"
"Indeed," said the Londoner.
Eyes, indeed" said the Sunderland
man; "Pm man of few words; moo,
if thou'lt come over to canny old Sun
derland, thou seest I'll gle hundred
and twenty pounds a year, and that's
a plum thou dost not meet with every
day in thy life, l reckon. Moo, then"
The Londoner replied that he was
much obliged for the offer, and would
wait till Mr.. Lindsay returned, whom
he would consult upon the subject. Ac-
cordingly, on the return of the latter,
he was informed of the ship-owner's
tempting offer.
"Very WE'LL" said Mr.. Lindsay; 81
should be sorry to stand in your way;
one hundred and twenty pounds is at
present more than can afford to pay
you in the department in which you
are at present placed. You will find
my friend good and kind master, and
under the circumstances, the sooner
you know each other the better. Al
low me, therefore, Mr.. -, to intro
duce the Rt. Hon. w. E. Gladstone, of
the Exchequer."
Mr.. Gladstone had been engaged in
making note of some shipping re-
turns for his budget. The Sunderland
ship-owner, you may be sure, was a
little taken aback at first, but he soon
recovered his self-possession. and en-.
joyed the joke quite as much as Mr..
Gladstone did. @@At&4tAA q

H. BALDWIN. of Monroe City, Ind, writes
under date of Dec. Sd, 1877, that his wife used
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription with Won
derful results. It effected her entire cure,
after several physicians had failed. The many
similar letters positively affirming that the
Favorite Prescription had cured the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women, induced
DR.. Pierce to sell it under guarantee. La
dies need no longer submit to useless and
painful local treatment, rs the Favorite Pre-
scription is q safe, sure, and speedy cur e.
Hundreds who had been bed-ridden for years
have been restored to perfect health by its use.

French duelists are frequently

French daelists are frequently
obliged to cross the frontier into Bel
GUM for the satisfaction of their honor,
as the Bots de Boulogne has become
rather too we'll known for such encoun-
tiers, and jealous officials are apt to
stop pair of suspicious.looki car
riages. An ingenious fencing-master,
however, suggests an easy expedient
for evading the law. He recommends
duelists to hire bride in full wedding
costume, with two respectable elderly
gentlemen, send the trio in front in q
carriage, and let the two vehicles con-
tanning the principals and their seconds
follow close behind. Not a soul will
then interfere with the affair, as we'd
ding parties may be daily seen by doz-
ems taking an airing in the Bots.

will make the top too thick for the adj
mission of the requisite sunlight, and
also to enable pickers to get around
with facility. The better way is to al
low but few branches to remain on the
tree, say three, as two will make a
crotch that will be quite liable to split
down when the tree comes in bearing,
and more than three will make the top
too thick. ~ ' e. 's~
After the tree is started right, it can
be kept right without pruning off any
limbs large enough to damage the tree,
provided pruning is attended to in
time. Many of the shoots usually called
water sprouts may be rubbed off with
advantage, in June, but no year should
be allowed to pass by without prun-
ing out the superfluous shoots and
branches.
If this annual pruning is neglected,
and the top gets too thick, then the
orchardist has before him the choice of
two evils-either to let the top
grow too thick for the best inter-
ests of the fruit, or prune it too Sc
verely for the tree, as we have no doubt
that cutting off large limbs impairs
the vitality Of the tree and hastens its
decay.
Perhaps the best course in such d.
lemma is to compromise the matter
by leaving the large branches and cut
ting off, unsparingly, the small laterals.
This will enable the branches to throw
out fruit-spurs enough to bear all the
fruit the tree ought to carry, and will
so thin the top as to admit the light;
but shoots will start out where those
laterals are removed, and it will re-
quire increased labor to remove them.
1t is very bad policy to neglect an
orchard, as it requires extra labor to
remove the consequences, and the trees
seldom entirely overcome the effects.

Domestic Flower Culture.

By domestic flower culture we mean
the endeavor to grow rare and orna-
mental varieties Of Towering and other
plants in every available situation con-
nected with our dwellings. Be it win
dow-recess. balcony, staircase, porch,
or tiny front ,plot, it matters not, pro-
vided there be sufficient exposure to
sunshine and light. Some such place
is at the disposal of almost every one
who enjoys the shelter of a roof,
whether he is an inhabitant of the
open country OF the crowded city,
tenant of q single apartment, or the
the proprietor Of lordly mansion.
The culture thus alluded to forms one
of the most delightful recreations in
which the enlightened mind can en-
gage; it is innocent and always cheer
full; can be cheaply obtained; and, like
other rational pastimes. may lead to
pursuits of q more profitable nature.
Any member of family who has a
little stand of plants to water, to clean
and prune, has always a pleasant, daily
recreation before him; his love and
care increase with these objects of
beauty and ornament. Why is yonder
lowly cottage more lovely and invit-
ing than the large farmhouse in some
other locality? Simply because its
walls are trellised with the rose and
honeysuckle, and its porch with the
clambering hop, whose dark, green
foliage contrasts so finely with the
whitewashed front; while the other is
as cold and uninviting as bare, stone
walls can make it. The little stand of
flowers in the window recess, with their
green leaves and brilliant blossoms,
adds a charm and freshness to the
place; and wherever these are, the fur
niture, though mean, will usually be
clean and neatly arranged. It was
long thought that plants absorbed car
bonic acid during the day only, and
under the influence of light, and that
it was given off by them during the
night time, thus vitiating the air in
apartments in which they were culti-
waited. But this is now believed to be
an error. It is confidently asserted
that carbonic acid is never disengaged
by them during the healthy condition
Of the leaf, and that the fluid which
they so abundantly exhale is pure wa
ter. If this be the case, growing plants
cannot, under any. condition, impair
the purity of the atmosphere, but rath-
er the reverse, unless the od0r which
they emit be too powerful to be agreea-
BILE. We should all try to cultivate the
lovely and beautiful about our homes,
and make them more attractive and
pleasant to every member of the fami-
ly. Then there you will find true con-
tentment and happiness.-Cor. Prairie
