-Katie's Bread Griddle-C akes.-Take
a small bowl of bread and soak it over
night in milk; in the morning take one
quart milk, three eggs, and bit OF salt,
beaten up together with half cupful
flour, and one and a half teaspOonfuls
baking powder; it wants to be thick
and very light batter, and then it is de-
Hcious.
Corn Starch Blanc Mange.-One
quart of water, juice and pulp of two
lemons, one coffee cup of sugar. When
boiling, add four tablespoons of corn
starch mixed with little water; let it
boil fifteen minutes, place in a mold, or
the dish in which you wish to serve it,
and cut it in squares; or, wet teacups in
milk, and fill them quarter full, let it
cool, turn into saucers and serve with
whipped cream.
"A Connecticut farmer says that the
butt ends of potatoes and the kernals of
corn from the butt ends of the ears, each
produced crops that were materially bet
ter than where the opposite course was
pursued. In the case of potatoes, the
stalks from the butt end were much
larger and more forward at the first hoe
ing. The increase in corn was some
twenty per cent. in favor of the butt end
kernels.
Chocolate Cream Custards. Set to
boil quart of milk; mix with half cup
of cold milk two ounces of grated sweet
chocolate, pour some of the boiling milk
into it, and then pour all back into the
pan of boiling milk, stirring it all the
time; when quite heated and about COM
ing to the boiling point, add the yelks of
six eggs which have been beaten with a
cup OF powdered sugar; when these are
nicely blended add three whites, beaten
with little vanilla, keeping the three
other whites for frosting; put in cups,
and a teaspoonful of the frosting on the
top of each cup.
-Blacking Stoves.-The fine polish
given stoves by those skilled in the art
is produced as follows: Have thin
mixture of black varnish and turpentine;
apply this with paint or varnish brush
to Il portion of the stove, then with a
cloth dust this over with pulverized Brit
ish luster or stove polish; then rub with
a dry brush. The stove must be per-
fectly cold. The stove-dealers buy the
pulverized stove polish, which is carburet
of iron, in twenty-five pound packages
The process conducted in this manner is
quite brief but gives beautiful results.

Checking Horses.

bio Lewis, in a recent communication
to the C0ngregatiOnoList, presents some
strong authorities as opposed to the prac-
tice. He says: g When you compel a
horse to contract the muscles Just under
the top of the collar, in order to sustain
the head foot, more or less, above its
natural place, and then hold them thus
contracted, the strain on these muscles
soon produces great harm. If you don
believe it, watch the animal; look at his
eyes and ears! am sure you cannot
misunderstood that face. See him carry
his head around ON one side, and then
away around on the other side. Now,
in a moment you will see him throw his
nose up in front as high as he can three
or four times. That struggle for relief
he continues all the day long. When
you take off the check, he will hang
down his head low, and show in his face
a sense of relief which am sure you
cannot misunderstood. The long strain
wastes the muscles and produces that
ugly hollow which is now so common
under the collar"

Dogs i'm COnstantinOple.

Monday morning we started on foot
to see the sights of the city. The day
was pleasant, and the mud drying fast,
so that walking was not so bad. In fact,
it would be impossible to traverse many
of the little narrow, crooked streets in
q carriage. The sidewalks, where there
are any, are not more than two or three
feet wide, and the pavement consists of
large round stones, without any at
tempt at level surface. After passing
on through the quarter in which our
hotel is situated, called Pera, we came
into more densely crowded part called
Galata, where the people thronged the
way, and now and then packhorse or
donkey crowded through. At every
step the yellow dogs seemed determined
to be trodden under foot. There are
more yellow dogs to the square yard in
Constantinople than there are to the
square mile in any other part of the
world. The Constantinople yellow dog
has no owner, nor has he much beauty
He makes so much noise at night that
he sleeps late in the morning, rolled up
in a ball with his head between his legs
When he is hungry he goes into the
nearest butchers shop, and stands I'M
der the carcass of sheep. His seven
brothers stand by his side, and the
butcher doesn't drive them out, but on
the contrary, when a customer comes
in a little meat is dropped for the dogs,
and they walk out quietly and sleep
again. When it is cold the yellow dog
doesn't sleep alone. He finds his seven
brothers and his seventeen cousins, and
they all sleep together on the doorstep
or by the curbstone. But some of these
dogs take pleasure in sleeping alone in
little holes in the middle of the street.
Each dog considers one of these holes
as his own domicile. No other dog
disturbs him, and if you step on him at
night, he only jumps up with a yelp,
and you find yourself more hurt than
he is. We tried it, and know that it is
so. Another fact about these dogs is
that each one has his own quarter, and
recognizes law by which he dares not
leave it, even to obtain food offered
him. A strange dog is at once set upon
and terribly punished, if not killed, for
trespass. Col. W. Fl. Harris, IN EGane-
Iner and Chronicle.

Light i'm the Home.

The eminent English writer, DIR.
Richardson, produces in one Of our
contemporaries, an article called
" Health at Home" which is replete
with wisdom, A most important point,
and one on which he dwells, is the fact
that so many people are afraid of the
light. " In dark and gloomy house
you never can see the dirt that pollutes
it. Dirt accumulates on dirt, and the
mind soon learns to apologize for this
condition because the gloom conceals
it." Accordingly, when house is
dark and dingy, the air becomes i'm
pure, not only on account of the alb
sence of light, but from the impurities
which are accumulated. Now, as DR..
Richardson cleverly puts it, we place
flowers in our windows that they may
have the light. If this be the case.
why should we deprive ourselves of
the sunshine and expect to gain health
and vigor? Light, and plenty of it, is
not only purifier of things inanimate,
but it absolutely stimulates our brains.
1t is in regard to sick rooms that this
excellent authority is particularly inn
pressive. 1t used to be the habit OF
physicians in old times to sedulously
darken the rooms, and this practice
continues to some extent even to-day.
In certain very acute cases of nervous
diseases, where light, the least ray OF
it, disturbs in over exciting the visual
organs, this darkening of the room may
be permitted, but ordinarily to keep
light out of the room is to deorive the
patient of one of the vital forces.
Children or old people condemned to
live in darkness are pale and wan,
exactly like those plants which, de-
prived of light, grow white. Darkness
in the daytime undoubtedly makes the
blood flow less strongly and checks the
beating of the heart, and. these condi.
tons are precisely such as bring con-
stitutional suffering and disease. The
suppression of the light of day actually
increases those contagious maladies
which feed on uncleanliness. DIR. Rich.
ardson states: -" once found by ex.
pertinent that certain organic poisons,
analogous to the poisons which propa-
gate these diseases, are rendered IN.
nocuous by exposure to light"

season. All the fine horses are kept in
the stables and given rest during the
winter. The draught horses and ponies
are sent out to the country to pasture.
The animals are kept in huge, station

THE heirs of Stephen Girard have been
beaten again in litigation to get part Of
the fund which he left for Girard Col
lege. He bequeathed $2,000,OO0 out
right, and set half as much more aside
for the same purpose, if needed; but the
$4,000, 900 proved sufficient for the main
tenance OF the college, and the rest was
applied by the city of Philadelphia to
certain public purposes.

prevalent evils within the pale of the
Church. He instanced particularly the
courage that was needed:
l. To oppose the growing evil among
protesting Christians of indulging in
worldly amusements
2. To discountenance the use of SEN
sational means and measures for bringing
people into the Church
8. To oppose as unscriptural and un.
warrantable the preaching of women,
which threatens to become prevalent in
some parts of the country
The address was good illustration of
the virtue which the accomplished speak
er so earnestly and ably inculcated.

or II you choose, the equivocal American
gentleman, is it not obvious that he stood
on an infinitely higher plane? He was

IN addition" a new creature he had
received new principle of life. He was
sanctifed man also, in addition: he
was man powerfully governed and di-
rected by the Holy Ghost. He was an
inspired man, moreover, in addition. He
was the friend and companion of our Lord

death, sealing his faith with his blood.

startling foreshadowing of the curse that
was uttered in Eden The serpent in
deed may be said to appear almost con-
temporaneously with man. And so again
we read in the 25th verse of the LIST chan
OF Genesis that God made the wild beasts

rumnants-great carnivores SHOWING
that Moses pointed to the fact already Of
the reign of death in the animal world
And now as to the second point dis

himself here with dogmatic assertion.
he insists that Moses creates Tout and
out the sun, moon, and stars on the
fourth day, after the creation of the earth
Professor Toy can construe it that wav If

tire propriety and with greater propriety.
be construed differently. Here is the
text: p" He made two great lights, the
greater light to rule the day" That is,
He made them to rule the day and the
night The word make" is qualified by
the infinitive which follows, and which
indicates the character of the fabrication
The matter of the sun existed before. II
was In this fourth age constituted Hoht-
bearer for such is the meaning of the
world; and it is probable, as we sug-
gested in our previous article, that the
light, which had been previously diffused
something like the aurora, became now
distinctly concentrated in the sun. This
was the conspicuous work of that day.
Prof. Toy refers to the linguistic"
argument. The linguistic" argument is
against him, which declaration we make
on the authority of Tayler Lewis, Canon
Cook, Prof. Murphy, M'Caul, Gesenius
Keil, Lange, Jacobus, etc.
Prof. Toy suggests again that the He

banks of the Euphrates" If So why is
the Mosaic account unmarked by the ex-
travagancies of the Babylonish account?
and why does Moses not follow the Ba-
bylonish conceptions, and make the Moon
the principal luminary? We may add
that there is greater similarity between
the cosmogony of the Aryans of Central
Asia and that of Genesis, than exists be-
tween the latter and the BabyIonian cos
mogony. That of the Etruscans. az
given by Suidas, is almost identical
with the Genesis account; and it is to
be noted that both the Aryan and the
Etruscan tradition speak of six periods.
See also Ovids Metamorphoses. Doubt
less all the early races had this so-called
myth; the Hebrew account had the adj
vantage of being passed through the
alembic of an inspired mind, and so
stripped of all that was not true. 1t had
doubtless come down to Aryan, Turanian
