RoAsT PIG.-A month old pig, if we'll
grown and plump, is best tor this pur-
pose. For stuitiug take cuptui OF
bread crumbs, half "A chopper onions,
two teaspoonfuls powdered sage. three
tablespoonfuls melted butter, salt
spoonful of pepper, half a grated nut
meg, half a teaspoonful of salt, two
well-beaten eggs. Mix all these in
gradients, except the eggs, together,
Incorporating them we'll: moisten with
half cup OF warm water or milk; beat
in the eggs and stuff the pig into his
natural size and shape. Sew him up
and bind his forefeet backward, his
hind feet forward and close to the body
and skewering them into the proper
position; dry it we'll and dredge with
flour. Put it to roast with little hot
water, slightly sailed, in the dripping
pan; haste with butter and water three
times, as the pig generally warns after
ward with the dripping. When it be-
gins to steam rub it over every five
minutes or so with a cloth dipped in
melted butter. Do not omit this pre-
caution if you would have the skin ten
der and soft after it begins to brown. A
month-old pig will require about an
hour and three.quarters or two hours,
and sometimes longer, to roast if the
fire be brisk and steady.
Cake-Three eggs, one cup white
sugar, one and half of flour, one tea
spoonful of baking powder in the flour,
two tablespoonfuls of cold water; bake
in two pie-tins, in quick oven; split
while warm and spread with the cream.
1t is better for standing a day or two.

Comparative Value Of Foods.

In helpful lecture on the chemistry
of food, by Prof. Church, some sug-
gestiye points OF dietetics were well
brought out. OF all the cereals, says
Mr.. Church, wheat yields the best
bread. This is believed to be due
principally to the character of the nitro
genous matter of wheat. The main
constituent is fibrine, and it can be
making little -four into dough with
water, and then washing the starch out
by means of stream of water. There
is then left grayish-yellow,. though
elastic mass, which if gluten. Speaking
of peas, beans, and various kinds of
pulse, it was pointed out how much
more nearly the different kinds agree in
composition than the cereals do. The
great drawback to the use of various
kinds of pulse is that they
are SO difficult to digest. They
are an excellent theoretical food,
according to analysis, but they are a
severe tax on digestion. Of all the
beans none presents better typical
food than the Soy bean. Lentils have
been much spoken of lately as good
food, and they undoubtedly approach to
good typical food, but they are bitter,
astringent, and not easy of digestion.
1t has now come to be pretty we'll re-
cognized that the food for man doing
hard work should have fesh-formers or
heat-givers in proportion of l to At, and
that the food of child should have 1
to Z. Bread gives ! to II, where the
heat-givers are more than even child
wants; so it is not good food by itself.
Pulse gives-taking an average to 24,
which is far too small. In these calcu-
lations heat-eivers are reckoned as
starch. Potatoes give 1 to 16, accord.
ing to the latest analyses, the old, l to s,
being evidently an error. Onion is to
4, an excellent proportion, though
onions are not much in favor as food
In looking at the relative values OF
fesh-formers and heat-givers in foods
the actual amount of water must not be
forgotten.

A Sore Point.

Young America does not understand
why he should be called boy at II,
when his sister, more than a year
younger, is recognized "young lady,"
and treated with Difference by the very
people who combine to snub him. But
he should cherish no jealous feelings
because he finds his sister addressed as
Miss long before he enjoys the satisfac-
ton of being called Mr.. The girls are
not only older in development than he
at the same age, but also gallantry and
a natural regard for her sex lead people
to pay girl who has reached budding
womanhood Difference and consider
alton he must not expect to get at any
age. If he lives he is bound to become
a man in due time, and his business is
to set himself to work 70 see that he
shall be man in other respects than
outward and physical appearance mere
ly. He can get along very well without
the conventional title of Mr.. until peo-
pie give it to him because they find by
knowing him that he possesses the solid
qualities of a manly character. He
does not realize now that it is awonder-
full thing to be boy. When he gets
old he can never be young again, while
now he has chance of getting old.
There is no better age than 1S. Most
men of 80 would prefer it to their own
years, and, though crusty and incon-
siderate age may snub youth, it can't
run as fast, or sleep as soundly, or eat
with as much relish, or look forward SO
hopefully to the time when it can take
captive the hearts of the young women
who assume airs of patronage toward
them in their youth.

A Hundred-Dollar Bill.

We have story with moral for our
numerous subscribers who are in the
habit of carrying 800 in their pockets.
A Hartford gentleman had roll to that
amount when he went to his butchers on
a Saturday. Monday he called ON him
and said he must have dropped the roll
in his shop. Butcher said man he
knew by sight came in just after the
gentleman was gone Saturday night,
and, after paying for his meat, stopped
down, picked up a roll, said he had
dropped his money, and walked
off. On the following Saturday
this man returned and was. told
about the other mans loss. He
at once sent him check for the amount,
and said he was in neighboring town
the week before, and was paid 500 just
as the train was leaving, SO he thrust it,
as he supposed, into his vest pocket.
When he was at the market he missed
it, and, looking down, saw the roll on
the floor, which he put into his pocket
again. A week after, while feeling in
his coat, which he had not worn during
the week. he found another roll in one
of the pockets. He at once posted to
the butchers to find if any one had lost
the sum. He was to have been arrested
the following Monday, and would have
had hard work to prove his innocence
of the theft.

Keeping Che BOYS ON -the eFarm


In an extended argument as to the
desirabiity of farmers sons sticking to
the farm, the Cincinnati Commercial
observes that there is feature in this
matter of SONS following the calling of
their fathers that is not sufficiently re-
gardsd.
The calling of the father may rise to
higher dignity when the sons adopt
the business, thoroughly learn it, and
proudly pursue it. The accumu-
lated reputation, capital, and business
of the parent can be inherited and pre-
served by the sons.
Again, it isr law of nature that
holds good in all the animal kingdom,
that aptness for any business may be in
herited, or may be bred, as we say of
stock. The great desideratum In de-
veloping race of trotters is to. insure
an aptness to trot. And this comes not
from stock that has habitually been used
for the draught or chase or race course.
If the dam trots and the sire trots we
do not expect the offspring to be q
running horse.
The old Spartans understood this
law of developing an aptness for given
calling in the children. The Germans
of olden times developed race of war
riors on the same principle.
aThe law of heredity is 80 broad and
so powerful in its influence that it ex-
tends not only to color and form of our
race, but it extends to the temperament
and even to the tastes. The taste,
though like the muscle and reasoning;
faculties, may be improved by educa,
ton. Still the taste and aptness for
any calling may be increased from gen.
Grafton to generation.
"Then, if we are to reach the highest
development as a race of farmers, we
must expect it through the line of de-
scent. The sun must inherit the fitness
of the father, and take up the calling
and business where he left off, and his
son after him, and so on. When this
shall become the custom in our farm
ing families, then shall we see greater
stability in society and higher type Of
civilization. Every parent has the
| chief power to bring this work about
life is to be the germ which develops 6
race that cannot be other than an indie
pendent people. Our nation is tc
achieve its greatness in the develop
ment of agriculture. Itspower at home
and abroad is to be established ani
held through the arts of husbandry
practiced by skillful and virtuoul
race of farmers. All, then, that can b.
done by the State or family to ennobl,
and to dignity the calling, and to entai
its blessings and influence from fathe
to son, will add to the stability ant
grandeur of the nation.''

Esculapius Euchered.


A rich story of a confidence game
played upon a leading physician of
Rockford by Chicago sharps is the
following: The doctor was little shy
about telling his neighbors of his ad-
venture, but finally disclosed the facts
to Marshal Sully. Some time since
the gentleman, whom we will call DIR.
g., started for Michigan, intending
to cross the lake by steamer from Chi
cago. While he was waiting about the
landing for the boat, man accosted
him with hearty, |How do you do, DR..
Hallowell?" at the same time extending
an eager hand for shake. @You have
the start of me-" replied the doctor,
"but you have made a mistake in my
name. I am DR.. g., of Rockford"
Precisely, precisely. I recognize it
now; strange that should have made
such mistake! Well, how are times
out in Rockford2" 1t was the same old
dodge, but the doctor didn't see it.
Just at the moment when the doctor
had so very explicitly given his name
and residence, another man slid on the
scene, and was surprised and de-
lighted to see DR.. G., of Rock
1OTu, duu, dlbCI BO1uS
vigorous pump-handle movement
for few moments, the three settled
down to friendly ,chat. The doctor
felt warm and comfortable at heart be-
cause he had been so easily noticed in
the great metropolis, and his good ma
ture flowed forth. In the course of the
| conversation, one of the sudden ac
| quaintances remarked to the doctor:
DIR. g., aren't you losing something
out of your pocket book?" The doctor
spasmodically put his hand to his
breast-pocket and drew out his wallet to
see if it was all right. In an instant
one of the men snatched it and ran
away. The other looked in blank as
tonishment, and cursed the villain who
| would take the advantage of friendship
like that, and then hustled off in pre-
tended pursuit of the robber. The
whole thing then began to dawn on the
doctor. He had been the victim of a
| confidence game. His loss was only
| $75, but the wound to his vanity was
worth $1,000. He hurried to store
where he had an acquaintance and,
hastily relating the circumstance, asked
his friend to go with him and appre-
hend the thief. But he was only
laughed at. The doctor was so dis
couraged at this adventure that he re.
turned home and did not go to Michi-
gan, as he had ford

Strangles in Horses.


Most persons conversant with horses
must be aware that certain glands lie
Just under the angles of the two jaws,
and run up in the direction of the ear.
They are the seat of the affection pecul-
lar to young animals, known under the
name of strangles. Now, it is by no
means infrequent, especially among the
commoner kind of horses, to find these
glands large and fabby in their text
ures. With weIl-bred and well-formed
animals it is often very difficult to find
them at all under the skin. Sometimes
the abnormal size of these glands is
evidently constitutional, sometimes it
is a consequence of disease -strangles,
for instance-and sometimes it arises
wholly from the pressure of the angles
of the jaws, especially when these lie
too close together, and the rider or
driver has attempted to force certain
position, either by the use of severe
bits, or, what is still worse, combina-
tion of these with the bearing rein in
harness. If such a state of things be
overlooked or neglected very serious
consequences may arise. The forced
pressure of the jaw-bones on these
glands is sometimes perfectly excruci-
ating to the animal, and it has recourse,
to the great tastonishment of its ignorant
rider or driver, to all sorts of expedients
to get rid of the intolerable pain. 1t
will refuse its work, or run away, or
throw jtself down, or rear up, or do
anything or everything in its despera-
ton, and the brute on its back or in the
coach-box knows no other remedy for
it than to "fog the sulk out of him, !"
whereas the whole thing is probably
the result of bad biting and bridIng.

The AntiauitK Of Forks.

Among the valuable finds in the ex-
ploration of the relics of the ancient
Iake-dwellers of Switzerland is a pair of
forks, apparently invented for table
use. They were fashioned from the
n1etatarsal bone of stag. This gives
a higher antiquity to table forks (if
has hitherto been suspected. Other
bone implements and ornaments are
frequently found. Animal remains are
also common. Among them are the
bones of the dog, the badger and the
common otter. The latter were doubt
less met with in the immediate neigh
borhood of the lake, but the presence
of the bones of the wild OK and of the
bear indicate that the lake-dwellers
were bold and skillful hunters, as well
as ingenious tool-makers. They were
also keepers of cattle, for the most nu-
merous animal remains brought to light
we're those of the common cow and the
moor-cow. These exist in every stage
of growth, showing that their owners
had taste for both veal and beef, while
their fondness for venison is proved by
the many bones of the stag and roe dis
covered by the explorers. Evidence of
like character shows that they were
hunters of the wild boar and eaters of
the domesticated pig, and the existence
of the beaver in Switzerland in prehis-
toric times is attested by the presence,
among other bones, of several which
comparative anatomists declare to have
belonged to that rodent. One omis-
sion on the list is striking. No men
ton is made of the bones of horses
having been found, from which it may
be inferred with tolerable certainty
that the horse was either altogether un-
known to the ancient lake-dwellers, or
that they had not succeeded in captur-
ing and tanning him.

Picturesque Scenes in Atlanta.

On Monday you may see tall, straight
negro girls marching through the street
carrying enormous bundles of soiled
clothes upon their heads; or a man
with great stack of homemade, un-
painted, and splint-bottomed chairs,
out from among the white legs and
rungs of which his black visage peers
curiously; or urchins under baskets of
flowers poised like crowns. Troops of
little black boys, bare-footed, bare-head-
ed, and ragged "to a degree" as
certain English novelist is fond of ex-
pressing it, go about carrying bags in
which they gather up rags in a manner
wholly different from the New York
chifoniers. At certain corners stand
farmers in scant clothing of homespun,
and the most bucolic of manners, wait
ing for some one to buy for dollar, or
even half dollar, the little load of
wood piled up on the center of home
made wagon so diminutive that two
men could walk away with the whole
affair, while a. third carried the mule
under his arm. 1t is great fun, too,
to go to the post Office after the arrival
of the noon mails from the North. The
office closes its windows, although it is
in the middle of the day, and devotes
itself to the task of distribution. Mean
while crowd ccumulate-mostlyt the
rabble who get letter about once IN
four weeks, but mixed up of all sorts =
and amuse themselves by making re-
marks not always complimentary to the
rule of the Office, or stand patiently Ill
line until the window opens. This
delay in post Office which supports
the delivery system looks like ga
relic;" but everybody has time enough
in Georgia.
On certain DAYS you will hear the
beating of triangles, and have your at
tention attracted to the red flag of the
curb-stone auctioneer, whose volubility
will be heard above the din. of traffic.
| These out-of-deor auctions are always
amusing, and the crowd of negroes,
@poor whites," and loungers that they
| gather afford an interesting study to the
lover of physiognomy. 1t is like a bit
out of doors; but the articles sold are
| more miscellaneous and wretched. You
l may buy worn-out stoves and tables,
secondhand bacon, muddy croquet sets,
rubber hose of one kind and cotton hose
of quite another canary birds, hat racks,
baby carriages, old fruit-jars, clothing,
bath-tubs, straw sun-bonnets and hats,
| squirrel-cages, carpets, books, bed
clothes made befoh de wah," sweet-oil
saws, crockery, iron garden settees, ice
cream freezers, saddles, window-sashes
everything out of time and miserable
from pair of snuffers to a horse and
wagon, alive and harnessed.- Ha7per's s
