EARTHENwARE IN COOKING. - The
flavor of food baked or boiled in earth
enWare is said by those who have made
the experiment to be far superior to
that of vegetable or animal food cooked
in the same way in iron vessels, for the
reason that iron is conductor of heat,
while earthenware is non-conductor;
consequently, food cooked in the latter
is rarely ever burned, the degree of
heat not varying perceptibly during
the process OF cooking, thus preserving
the favor of what is cooked, as well as
uniformity throughout the substance of
the meat, vegetables or grains, until the
process of cooking is completed. The
tire in stove or range that parches and
burns in iron vessels, and either i'm
pairs or spoils the food, is powerless to
injure the contents of earthenware. So
earthenware takes the premium, as it
deserves to.
NITRO .aLYCER1NE was discovered in
l847 by Ascague Sobrero, but remained
unapplied to practical uses until 1864,
when Alfred Nobel, a Swedish engineer,
developed its industrial value. The
liability to spontaneous explosion and
dangers attending its careless handling,
and its unf3tness for being kept long on
hand, unless prepared and treated with
a degree of care not readily secured in
the army, units it for military uses.
Its economical uses are restricted to
blasting in hard rock or under water.

Power OF the IMAGINATION.


The records of medical practice are
full Of illustrations of the influence of
the imagination, for good or evil, over
the functions of the body, and philos-
ophy finds in them key to the won
derful persistence of many popular
superstitions. The belief that any dis
astrous physiological result, even death
itself, will surely follow a given act or
occurrence is very apt to bring about q
dreaded calamity; and every repetition
of the seeming sequence of cause and
effect tends to confirm and strengthen
the mischievous belief. As q means of
counteracting this tendency of pervert-
ed imagination, charms for averting evil
often play q beneficial part. The pro-
lection is as imaginary as the dreaded
evil; but, assuming belief in the
fictitious danger--a belief strongly
tending to make the danger real-the
charm substitutes more hopeful belief,
and the danger ceases.
A curious illustration of this action
of the mind occurred in San Francisco,
In connection with q case of transfu-
sion of blood. An aged negro, at the
point Of death, was saved by this oper-
alton, the blood-eight ounces-being
taken from his wife's arm. The man
recovered, but the woman went into a
curious decline, against which tonics
and nourishing food were of no avail.
At last the patient confided to the
doctor the secret of her ailment,
which kept her from resting day or
night. -.
II tell you, doctor" she whispered,
it's that blood of mine the old man is
carrying about inside of him; and,
Coctor, when that old man comes
back, I want you to give me my blood
back" -.
The doctor, seeing that the woman
woald not be appeased unless he com
Piled with her request, promised TO re-
turn the next day, first informing her
of the dangers Of the operation. She
would hear of no explanations, but de.
handed that the. operation be per-
formed. It was accordingly done the
next day, the doctor taking from the

Bald Heads.-.Some Eminent Examples,

O@A~
al case of Elisha, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, badness seems to have been
considered disgrace among the Jews
in remote ages, still a disgrace with
which it was not permitted to reproach
an honorable man. The punishment
inflicted by divine Interpolation, and at
the express solicitation of the prophet,
upon forty unfortunate children, seems
to persons in the present day-even, it
may be added, to those who have lost
their hair-rather severe. Lovers of
analogies, condolences and contrasts
may be invited to remark that the
grease of wild beasts employed as in
struments of vengeance against the lit
tie ones who tainted the good old
prophet with his badness was in later
centuries to be employed as as a capil-
larry restorative. The strength of Sam
son and the beauty of Absalom Law in
their hair, and there is significance, no
doubt, in the fact that through their
hair both of them came to grief. Among
the Greeks the two most famous bald
men were Hschylus and Ulysses. The
badness of Eschylus is known to have
been the cause of his death, an eagle,
carrying tortoise in its claws, having
dropped it's prey with the view Of
breaking the shell upon what it took
to be rock, but which was in fact the
shining skull of great tragic poet.
The badness of Ulysses is COM
memorated in the Odyssey"
and the fearful vengeance taken
upon the suitors of Penelope
seems to have been in great measure
due to the pieasantries in which one of
them INDUCED concerning the glittering
aspect presented by her husbands
Uranium. Badness, however, was no
more admired in those days than in our
own; and when Ulysses was restored to
youth stress is laid upon the fact that
locks of the most luxuriant kind were
given back to him. julius Cesar was
notorious for his badness, and the Jokes
made on this subject by his soldiers on
the occasion of one of his triumphal
entries into Rome are only too we'll
known. Nor need the story be here re-
peated of the pleasure he took in wear
ing wreath which covered his denuded
temples, and which, according to one
Roman historian, was his chief reason
for valuing it. It may be remarked,
however. that the ifelike bust of Julius
Caesar, in the British Museum, is not
THAT of man who in tho present day
would be considered bald. The hair
is not thick and is brushed forward in
style which indicates desire to make
up for certain want of hair in the re-
gion of the forehead and the temple.
Something, however, must be allowed
for the complimentary disposition of the
sculptor reproducing the head of an all
powerful commanders and ruler who was
known not to be without personal vanity.

SIR; So soon as her cargo is on board you
will proceed in command of the Constellation
to Dublin, Ireland, and there deliver her
cargo to the H,rdld Relief Committee
for disposition at their discretion. You will
make known to the committee that this cargo
of provisions is contributed by a few generous
hearted citizens of the United States to relieve
the wants of suffering people In Ireland, whose
condition has aroused extraordinary sympathy
in the American mind. Congress, In obedience
to this sympathy, has directed that these dona-
tiOns shall be carried on board a National
man-of-War, and | have designated the Con-
stellation for that purpose. am sure it will
be a more agreeable duty to you to take her
without her guns upon this mission Of peace
and benevolence than to command her upon a
warlike expedition. Your visit will enable the
people of ireland to realize that "Peace hath
her victories no less renowned than war;
and that, in this age, these victories
do more to create amicable relations
between the people of different nationalities
and TO draw them closer together than the roar
of battle When you shall have discharged the
trust hereby committed to you, you will return
TO New York and report your arrival to the de-
partment. Very respectfully

Something in the way of crimes.
concealments and confessions, which NAV
confidently be recommended to the dra-
matists and story-writers as most novel
and striking, is reported from Aratof,
near Kietf. In 1860 the church oroanist
OF that town stole the priests pistol, shot
and robbed farmer, replaced the weap-
on in the sacristy, confessed the crime to
the priest whose lips were thus sealed
upon the subject, and then denounced
him as the robber and assassin. The
unfortunate ecclesiastic, vainly protest.
ing his innocence, was sentenced to hard
labor for life. The organist on his death
bed confessed his crime, but when steps
were taken to secure the liberation Of the
innocent sufferer it was found that he had
been dead for several months. This real
life tragedy fairly mates the real life
comedy of the fine young Englishman
who, having been arrested for robbing
postoffice, married the postmistress, the
sole witness against him, who was thus
precluded from testifying against her
husband
