HUMOROUS.

MICHAEL And Pal, soon after land
ing in America, entered an eating sa-
loon, when, being comfortably seated
at a table on which stood the accustOm-
ed castor containing gpepper-sauce, vine
gar, mustard, &C., they called for fried
steak, potatoes, &C., and while en-
joy!ng ther frugal meal together Mike
espled the mustard bottle, and having
never before seen or tasted this kind Of
sauce, was tempted to swallow a good
sized spoonful. Very soon the tears
commenced to flow down his cheeks in
large quantities, which being noticed
by Pat, led him to inquire, "What are
you crying about, Mike?" to which
Mike replied, AZ am crying to think of
my poor father who died year ago to-
day." Pat seeing Mike eating the yell
low paste with such apparent relish,
was induced to take aspoonful himself,
when, like Mike, he commenced to cry,
when Nike asks, "And what are You
crying about, Pat?" Pat replies, "I
am crying becuuse / am so sorry you
did not die when your father did,"

DOMESTIC.

A SHORT Essay on WAsHING.-Ex-
perienced house keepers very seldom
give clear and positive instructions in
housework. Their success seems to be
the result of some uncommunicable
knack: Years of experiment and un-
certainty appear to be required in reach
ing positive knowledge in regard to
homework. and that knowledge
which must die with the discoverer.
Whosoeve- desires to escape uncertainty
i'm one important department OF house
work is recommended 10 read the fol-
lowing complete guide to the whole art
of washing: To begin with, clothes
should not be soaked over night; il
gives them a gray look, and the sUlid
parts lying against the clean portions
streak them. Before beginning to
wash, the clothes should be assorted,
and the fine ones kept separate all
through the washing. Rub the clothes
in warm-not hot-water. Hot water
sets, instead of extracting, the dirt.
Turn them and rub them till perfectly
clean in the first water. If the water
is allowed to becomes much soiled,
throw it out and take fresh, for if the
water is allowed TO become very much
soiled, the clothes will be dingy. The
clothes should then be rubbed out as
thoroughly in the second as in the first
water. No amount of rinsing or boil
ing will ever make clothes white which
have not been thoroughly rubbed out.
After the second rubbing put the
clothes in cold water to boil, without
rubbing soap on them or putting soap
in the water; they are soapy enough.
Too much soap makes clothes yellow
and stiff. As soon as they begin TO
boil remove them TO the ''sudsing"
water, If they boil long they will be
yellow. Let each article be well
''soused" up and down in the sudsing
water, rubbing them out thoroughly
with the hands to get the suds out;
wiring dry and throw in the ''rinsing-
water" which is the last water. Let
this be slightly blued. Excessive blu
ing is the careless washerwomen's ref
uge. The rInsing Is TO be as thorough
as the sudsing. After rinsIng, starch.
The old-fashioned idea that clothes re-
quire to be dried before being starched,
is not sustained by intelligent observa-
ton. Dip the articles in boiling hot
starch, plunging the hands constantly
into cold water, to prevent tteir Eeing
scalded, and rubbing the starch well
il. Next hang oct, and be sure TO
stretch every inch possible to the sun
and the wind. Garments hung double,
or in punches or festoons, will not
bleach. Wash fiannels I'm lukewarm
water, and rinse in water of the same
temperature. Avoid rubbing soap up
on the flannels. Stretch them, when
thoroughly clean, snap them energeti-
cally, and hang up immediately-by
the fire if the weather is bad. Two wa
ters are enough for flannels. When
sprinkling clothes, dip collars, cuffs
and shirt-bosoms in cold starch, made
so thin as to look like water with a
little milk i'm il. Clothes starched thus
need no wax. lard, moi other prepara-
ton TO make them iron easily. \
smooth, dead white is generally more
highly esteemed now than glazed look
which shirt manufacturers give to
their linen. Clothes washed by the
above directions will be white as the
driven snow.

A Word TO Tourists.

You cannot have better companion on youI
journey than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
That prime medicinal agent viii enable 6ou to
drink brackish water without running the risk
of disordered stomach and bowels, will neu-
tralZe the influence OF foul or masmatic air,
and will prove q most agreeable and wholesome
stimulant aud means of counteracting the ia
tigue of travelling and seasickness. Change
OF climate. water or diet, is apt to induce har-
assing and often dangerous diseases. The
three changes combined are ia al to thousands
OF emigrants and travellers every year. Is it
not, then, of the last importance to know that
Hostetters Stomach Filters are an absolute
preventive of the hurtful consequences sris-
ing from these causes? Travellers, voyagers
AMI EN- grants to new countries cannot be too
often reminded OF the fact that this agreeable
vegetable tonic is the most reliable safeguard
against disorders to which they are far mora
liable than the hab.tual denizens Of healthy
regions.

CREAM SAUCE.-One cup of milk, one
teaspoonful of flour, one tablespoonful
of butter, salt, and pepper. Put one
tablespoonful OF bHtter into a small
frying-pan, and when il gets hot, not
brown, add the flour. Stir until per-
fectly smooth, then add, gradually, the
cold milk. Let it boil up at once, sea-
son to taste with salt and pepper, and
serve. This Is nice to cut cold potatoes
into, and let them just heat through
they are then called creamed potatoes ;
also for a sauce for vegetables, for on e.
lets, for fish, for sweetbreads, or In
deed for anything that requires white
sauce. If you have plenty of cream,
use that and omit the butter.

CuItiyatinc the Pear

The trees must be well cared for,
thoroughly cultivated, and, when the
soil is not fully supplied with ali the
needful elements of their plant-food,
they must also be well manured, or
they will result in disappointment,
modification and loss. The ground
should be devoted to the trees alone,
though, for a few years, low, hoed
crops may be allowed among them. No
grass or grain crops should ever be
grown with the pears, nor are weeds
any better suited to their tastes. Tho
rough culture OF the surface-soll should
be given among the trees; the ounce
roots being superficial, care should be
exercised 10 avoid injurIng them hence
the propriety of thorough preparation
of the ground in the first instance, close
planting, and hand labor for dwarf
trees. Standards, If well cultivated for
a few years until they have attained
some size, during which period corn or
other summer crops may be grown
among them, can afterwards bear de.
gree of neglect; or they may be seeded
down with clover or grass, which will
check their toe vigorous growth and
promote their fruitfulness. This, how
ever, should not be attempted until the
trees have attained their full growth
They had better be kept cultivated five
or six years before being seeded down
with clover, which is preferred to any
of the true grasses. We should not
count upon making a meadow OF the
pear orchard, but let the crop rot upon
the ground, and, whenever the trees
appear to need culture, plough under
the clover and cultivate the ground for
the trees stand will need careful hand
labor with the hoe, or, still better, with
the pronged hoe or the digging fork, !,
even when horse labor is practised be-
tween the trees. There will be space
that cannot be reached by the horse
cultivator, and this must be worked by
hand. In large orchards, whether of
dwarfs or standards, horse power is
necessary to economic labor. In such
situations, corn is the best crop to grow
among the trees and this should be left
standing on the ground during the
winter as 4 protection for the trees !;
stalks ploughed under in the spring
will help to manure the soil. Alter the
trees have acquired such size as to
preclude the growing Of corn, which
should never be planted within ft ur
feet of the trees. the ground may be
sown with buckwheat at midsummer,
not for crop of the grain, but for the
sake of mulching the surface and keep
ing the soil loose.

The Cultivation of Carp,

The peculiar advantage of the carp is
its domesticity. 1t can be raised artifi-
cially with much more ease and success
and with much less expense than any
other fish of equally good quality.
Farmers can cultivate it successfully in
small natural ponds upon their farms,
and thus bring fish culture as near
home and make 1t as much of part Of
their business as poultry raising. In
deed, if it were properly fed and the
water changed often enough, this fish
might be grown to weight of three or
four pounds In a washtub. it grows
rapidly-an important consideration In
domestic fish culture. In those eli
mates most. favorable to its growth it
will attain weight of from two and
one hall to four pounds in one year.
Under ordinary circumstances the
usual weight which it attains in three
years is from three to three and half
pounds. However, 1t grows only dur
ing the months Of May, June, July anu
august. lhc tCmpcI ~NuiC VI thC al
and water has much to do with its
growth. 1t will not grow except in
warm weather; wet, cold summers are
- disastrous to it as to field crops.
Its size appears to be almost unlimited.
There are instances Of carp weighing
fifty and sixty pounds; many speci-
mems taken in Southern Europe weigh
forty pounds. 1t is not fish of prey !;
1t never attacks other fishes; and its
harmlessness renders it an excellent
fish with which 10 stock large lakes and
rivers. The carp was imported by the
Fish Commission into the United States
from Germany. Originally 1t was ma
tive to the waters of Central Asia. AS
early as the eleventh Gentry it was in
troducted into Austria. For many
years it has been staple product Of
Germany, and with the peasantry 1t is
often the main resource for sustenance
when the crops fail.

Ancient Nineyeh.

Additional discoveries in the ruins of
Nineveh reveal the fact that the As
syrians were acquainted with the
phenomenon of sun spots about which
so great modern astronomical interest
centers. But sun spots cannot be dis
covered without telescopes; there
fore," says Judge DAILY, ''the AssyrIans
must have had telescopes to aid them
in their study of the heavenly bodies"
In fact, Mr.. Layard actually found a
crystalline lens in the ruins of the
great city. So, then, Gallileo was not
the first maker of a telescope.
The contemporaries of the prophet
Jonah used the instrument more than
1900 years before. The writing on the
bricks found in the ruins showed also
that houses and lands were sold, leased
and mOrtgaged lhuch in the same way
ed at interest, and market gardeners
"worked on shares" that plowman
while driving their oxen sang songs,
two of which have been preserved.
These bricks, with cuneiforn inscrip-
tions of their smooth surfaces, eonstitu-
ted Assyrian libraries. quite as lasting,
it would appear, as the printed books
which make up modern libraries. One
has been found containing a plain,
business-like notice requesting visitors
10 give TO the librarian the number OF
the book, or brick they desired to con-
suit, and he would get it for them. In
fact, these imperishable brick re-
cords bring before rs almost startling
pictures of daily life in the great As
syrian capital three thousand years ago,
and show that life was not materially
different from what Is to be seen in one
of the great cities of the present day.

To Travellers by Sea and Land.

The effect Of change OF air and of
travel is to produce Constipation, which
is followed by Headache, Piles, and q
general disarrangement of the system.
The Stomach, already nsuseated, gags
at the very sight Of pill. while other
mixtures, sweetened or not sweetened,
or acid, are revolving. Nothing of the
kind Is ever complained of in taking
Simmons Liver Regulator. 1t is al
ways grateful to the Stomach, whatever
its condition may be; in fact, the slight
ly bitter taste of the Regulator Is plea
SAINT in removing the sick taste from
the mouth. A dose of Simmons Liver
Regulator, say from half to full
tablespoonful, will impart grateful
warmth and glow to the weak and nau-
seated stomach, will regulate the se-
cretions and will gently assist Nature,
slowly and surely, without gripping or
nausea, as though no medicine had
been taken.

To RAISE A RooF.-lt is an easv mat
ter to raise the roof of a building so as
TO build an extra wall under il. Loosen
the plates from the wall and raise the
roof, one corner at time, resting the
roof on timbers placed across the cor
ners OF the building. As the roof is
raised build up the wall, and as this is
done, raise the roof. Ii the building is
frame one, the roof must be raised the
intended height first, resting on
blocks placed on the floor under It.:
and the studding spliced and mortised
into the plate. The raising may be
done by levers, little at time, or by
jackscrews. But it should be secured
as it is carried up, so that it cannot 90
over sidewise.
