HOME AND FARM.


NJ. DEHERAIN thinks q thistle seed
will lay any length of time in the ground
without rotting, and related an incident
where piece of low land that had tax
en- the deposit of brook for years was
drained and burned over, saying the
first thing to grow was an immense crop
of thistles.
INK ON CARPETs.-Takeu up as much
of the freshly spilled ink as possible with
sponge, then wet with water and soak
with the sponge repeatedly; finally, rub
the spot with a little wet oxalic acid, or
salt OF sorrel, wash off with cold water
and rub with aqua ammonia.
MoLAssEs FRU1T-C AKE.-Two cup
fuls each of molasses and butter, two
eggs, cupful of milk, a teaspoonful
each of soda and essence of lemon, two
nutmegs, and -four enough to make a
stiff batter. Beat well, and add currants,
chopped raisins, and citron. Bake
quick. To prevent the raisins from fall
ing in the cake, beat them with eggs.
The Importance of washing the head
frequently is shown by the experience
of a quarantine physician of high stand
ing, who says that, according to his OBJ
servation, persons whose heads were
thoroughly washed every day rarely
took contagious diseases; but when the
hair was allowed to become dirty and
matted, it was hardly possible to escape
infection. lGinaE
APPLE FoLLY.-Whites of two eggs,
one cup of sugar, three sour baked ap-
Piles, vanilla. Beat together little the
whites of the eggs and sugar, flavor the
inside of the baked apples, put to the
eggs, and beat till quite stiff. Serve with
cake.
IMPACTIoN or dry murrain in cattle
The symptoms in acute cases are drow-
siness and stupor, accelerated pulse and
breathing, hardness and tenderness I'M
der the right short ribs and tremor of
the muscles. At later stage the eyes
glare, the animal moves about regard
less of obstacles, often breaking its teeth
and horns against the more solid i'm
pediments to its course, and believing
fearfully in the meantime. Death often
results in few hours.
BLEACHING FLANNEL which
has become yellow with use may be
bleached by putting it for some days in
solution of hard soap to which strong
ammonia has been added. The best
proportions are one pound and half of
hard eurd soap, fifty pounds of soft
water, and two-thirds of a pound of
strong ammonia solution. The same
object may be attained in shorter time
by placing the dannelf for quarter of an
hour in weak solution of bisulphate of
sodium, to which little hydrochloric
acid has been added.
ENGLISH MINCE PIE.-Three and
one-half pounds of chopped beef, three
and one-half pounds of suet, three and
one-half pounds of raisins, three and
one-half pounds of currants, seven
pounds of chopped apples, one pound of
citron, two pounds of sugar, one ounce
of nutmegs, four quarts of cider, one
pint of golden sirup. Mix these ingre-
dents all together, and let them stand
over night before using; then bake in
puff paste.

Everybody has heard of the jolly
Dutchman who, when the steamboat
was likely to sink, succeeded, after
much trouble, in finding life-preserver
large enough to fit him. While he was
trying his best to blow it up, a young

that with wind, it leaks. Don't you
hear it siss?" "Ish dot SOP" he replied.

STATISTICS show that there has been
a gradual and steady increase in the
average length of life since the six
teenth century. Much of this increased
longevity has been due to the improved
conditions of living among all classes
and the influence of good living, home

time by the fact that the wealthy aver

Behoding far beneath

In the web of life and death.
Sees weary hearts that deem
The dark breadth is the whole,
Sees happy hearts that dream
The bright rays all their goal.

JEFFERSON'S WAY.

Gen. Hancock appears IN the best
light in his letter to Gen. Sherman.
That letter is destined to become his
torical. It is full of strong points
that will fasten themselves on the pub
lie mind. The republican simplicity
and honesty of his character are re-
vealed in many passages, but particu-
larly in one, where be refers to the
Inauguration of Jefferson, as follows
Il like Jeferson's way Of Inaugural
ton it suits our system. He rode
down on horseback to the Capitol, tied
his horse to a rail fence, entered and
was duly sworn, then rode't to the Ex-
ecutlve' Mansion and took possession.
He inaugurated himself simply by
taking the oath of Office. There is
no other legal Inauguration in our sys-
tenn"
Contrast this plain" truly demo-
cratic, and unpretending. method Of
assuring the duties ofthe Chief Mag.
istracy, with the pomp and pageant
introduced by the third.termers when
celebrating the second inauguration
Of Grant They were not content
with display of the local troops at
Washington. For the first time in
the history of that institution, the
cadets at West Point we're taken from
their course of study and carried to
the capital at the public expense to
give ecIat to the ceremony. Military
companies from distant cities and
regular soldiers formed in great pre-
cession, which escorted Gen. GraDt
and the special committee of Cor
gress, seated in a splendid carriage
drawn by four horses, and followed by
others, from the White House to the
Senate, and returned BY the same
route to the starting point.
Thousands of faithful oficeholders
thronged the sidewalks of Pennsyl-
vania avenue to swell the triumph and
to greet their chieftain with shouts of
applause. All the accessories usually
attendant upon royalty that could be
introduced. were paraded to give
effect to the scene.
Seventy two years before that day
the author of the Declaration OF In
dependence rode on horseback, with
out an attendant, over the same street,
undistinguisbed from any other citizen,
and quietly took the oath Of Office that
qualified him to be President Of the
republic.
In departing from the simplicity
of the fathers, extravaganza, corrup-
tion, and excesses have become fast
ened on the public service in every
direction, followed by oppressive taxes
rendered necessary to maintain
gorgeous system of centralized admin
istration. No reform is possible while
the party of prodigality continues in
| Office. And to make reform effective,
the whole system must be swept
away. The example of Jefferson,
which Gen. Hancock so aptly cited,
is one that we hope to see him initiate
on the Fourth Of March next, as the
beginning Of new and better era.
