KEEPING MEAT IN Hor WEATHER.
Great is the convenience of good re-
frigerator But many of us who live
in the country have TO get along with
out such convenience. Farmers
families who often depend upon the
butchers meat cart for supplies of
fresh meat, are annoyed by the bother
and waste that comes of getting more
beef or mutton than they can conve-
niently use up before it becomes tainted.
The most foolish waste Is to eat more
of 1t than you need, with the idea of
"saving it" the DOCTORS bill that may
result from overlooking the digestive
organs, is not so good show of econ
omy as fresh eggs you might coax from
the hens by feeding them any excess of
meat. The meat sheuld first be wiped
clean and dry. Some sprinkle it well
i'm all its parts with salt. Others use
black pepper plentifully, washing and
wiping it well before using it, to re-
move the pepper and salt, and then
hang it in the coolest place possible
some ina well, others In cellar. Per-
haps the best precaution is to wrap 1t
in dry cloth and cover it with char
coal dust. Some say that wood ashes
would answer about as well as charcoal ;
but we only know the virtue of char
coal by experience. L have found that
charcoal Will even remove a slight de-
gree of taint. L am told that mutton is
improved, ,as wed, as preserved fora short
time by wrapping in cloth wet with
vinegar, and laying it on the bottom of
a dry cellar. All kinds of meat, in
cluding fish and fowl, may be preserv-
ed in brine for a longer or shorter time.

Too MUCH PARIS GREEN.-lt is report
ed that family has just been poisoned
by eating lettuce, upon which Paris
Green was found, and many other un-
pleasant stories OF the same kind have
been heard every year since the arrival
of the potato bug brought Paris Green
into common use out of doors. Such
accidents should remind the owners of
farms and gardens, that the favorite
remedy for potato bugs, Is not one of
the simple insect powders that are ad-
vertised as harm less to human beings,
but virulent poison, to whatever be-
ing tastes it In small quantities. Own
er5 of large crops that are subject to
the ravages of insects, may be justified
in using 1t, but even these should take
special care that the wind or some force
does not carry the poison TO berries or
vegetables of which the leafy portions
are eaten. In home gardens, where
the various vegetables and small fruits
are grown near to each other, it should
not be used at all. Small boys who
pick potato bugs at three cents per
quart, may costa little more than Paris
Green, but, on the other hand, they are
cheaper than doctors or respectable
funerals.

A Romance from far Alaska,

A young man who was in Alaska
some four years ago fell In love with
the only young lady on the island, a
girl of fifteen, who was possessed of
extraordinary beauty, and whose hair
fell below her knees. But he was I'M
able to communicate the "old, old
story" to her, for she did not under
stand word of English, nor did he
speak Russian. In his dilemma the
arrival of the priest on his Once-in-two-
years visit was God send, and to him
he made known his love. The priest,
knowing the young man to be possess
ed of high character and a fair for
tune, thought it was a lucky chance
for the young lady to escape from life
of such isolation, and he willingly
persuaded the girls mother cher father
was dead) to consent to the match, but
the young lady herself was not to be
persuaded. She argued that she had
never spoken to the young man who
expressed such desire to be her hus-
band, and only seen him twice, and he
had been on the island only forty-eight
days, but her objections were over
ruled, and the marriage took place.
After living in Alaska for several
months, the young man brought his
bride to his home in Cleveland, Ohio.
She was astonished at the fashions she
saw, and declared that nothing would
induce her to wear her hair otherwise
than flowing-as she had always worn
it. But before twenty-four hours had
passed her mother-in-law had persuad-
ed her to try the effect of braids around
her broad and shapely head; and now
she dresses as much In the fashion as
any lady in Cleveland. Last year her
husband went to Alaska again and
brought home the young sister, who is
eleven years of age, and promises to be
as beautiful as the elder. The mother,
bereft of both her children, still clIngs
to her home ON one of the islands of
Alaska.

A New Kind OF Watch. Dog,

By introducing a flame of gas into
an open tube, whether of metal or of
glass, the tube will sound, and with
little ingenuity even singing flames
might be produced. The sound differs
according to the size OF the tube, the
force of the flame, &c. Sometimes the
sound is like roar, at others like a
low moan; sometimes high, sometimes
low; the greatest variety Of expressions
can be produced, according to circum-
stances. There are silent-speaking
that under ordinary cir
do not utter a sound; but
if door be opene1 a draught is created
then the glass vIbrates, and the most
noises result. A glass of this
description has JUST been cOntrived in
which, when jet OF gas burns. the
sound Of a dog barking is produced
should the street door be opened.
may now be guarded by
watch-dogs.

Hunting the Moose.

Moose calling commences about the
first OF September and ends about the
fifteenth of October. \ full moon oc-
currin z between the middle and end of
September is the best of all times. The
best plan in calling is to fix upon a
permanent camp and make little ex-
peditions of two or three DAYS duration
from il, returning to rest and get fresh
supplies. Then you enjoy the true
luxury of hunting. Then you feel
really and thoroughly Independent and
free. The Indian carries your blanket,
little tea, sugar and bread, kettle
and two tin pannikins. The hunter
has enough to do TO carry himself, his
rife. ammunition, small axe, hunting
knife, and pair of field-glasses. Thus
accoutred, clad in 4 flannel shirt and
homespun combinations, mOose-hIde
mOccasins on your feet, your trousers
tucked into woollen socks, your arms
uneneumbered with that useless article,
coat, you plunge into the woods, the
sun your guide in clear weather, your
pocket-compass if it is cloudy, the
beasts and birds and fishes your compan-
ions; and wander through the wood at
will, sleeping where the fancy seizes
you, calling" If the nights are calm,
or still hunting on windy day. Cal
ling is the most fascinating, disappoint-
ing, exciting of all sports. You may be
lucky and kill your moose the first
night you 60 out, perhaps at the very
first call you make. You may be weeks
and weeks, perhaps the whole calling
season, without getting a shot. Moose
calling is simple enough in theory; in
practice it is immensely difficult of ap-
plication. 1t consists in initiating the
cry of the animal with a hollow cone
made OF birch bark, and endeavoring
by this means to call up a moose near
enough to get shot at him by moon
light or in the early morning. He will
come straight up to you, within few
yards-walk right over you almost
answering, speaking" as the Indians
term 1t, as he comes along, if nothing
happens to scare him; but that is a
great il.

Saved bv his skates.

An old Lake Superior trapper named
Thomas Judson, was once suddenly
surrounded by band of fierce Indians
from whom he expected no good.
While making free with his outfit, they
found pair of skates among his other
trappings, and were immensely puzzled
at them. A funny thought occurred to
the hunter as he saw their curiosity,
for his gray eye twinkled merrily.
''lce moccasin," he said, pltting a
skate on his foot, and then made glid-
ing motion that the feet take in skat-
ing.
"Ugh," grunted the Indian chief,
pointing to the narrow blade of the
skates and shaking his mead. As they
were near the ice, Thomas proposed to
fasten them on young brave for trial.
The Indians welcomed the plan with
glee, for, though savages, they were
great lovers of sport. Selecting the
bravest and swiftest young fellow, the
chief bade him strike out his feet,
which he did rather suspiciousiy. The
skates were soon strapped on, and the
young buck helped to his. feet: The
ice was like glass, and he started to
move; you know what followed. His
feet flew out from under him, and
down he came with a crack. Such
shouts of laughter as the rest set up
The young fellow was gritty, and
scrambled up to try it again, but with
the same result.
The chief now signaled the hunter to
show them how these things WORKED.
Thomas fastened on the skates with
great care, picked up his rifle and used
it as a cane, pretending to support him
self. He moved awkwardly, fell
down, got up and stumbled around,
the Indians all the time laughing and
capering at the sport. Gradually
Thomas stumbled little further away
whirling about and making believe 1t
was very hard work to keep his bal
ance until he was near the point where
the smooth lake ice stretched miles and
miles away. Suddenly gathering HIM
self up, he grasped his rifle firmely,
gave a war whoop as wild as the In
dams own, and dashed up the lake
like an arrow, skating as he had be-
fore. If he had disappeared in the air,
the Indians couldn't have been more
astonished. OF course they couldn't
hope to catch him, over the CLASSY ice,
and they stood gaping after him, Won
dering more and more at the magic
lice moccasins."
"Nothing pleased old Thomas bet
ter in after years than to tell how he
had "fooled the redskins"

TuECoLp LpBAru-Altbough the daily

TEE COLD BATH.-Although the daily
cold bath is heatlhful and reviving, it
must not alone be depended upon as a
\ man may bathe
daily and use his towel even roughly,
but remain as dirty to all practical in
tents as though he escnewed clean
lines indeed, the physical evil of dirt
is more likely to ensue, because If
wholly neglected the skin would east
on the refuse matter by periodical per-
spirations. Nothing but frequent
washings in water of at least equal
temperature with the skin, and soap,
can ensure free and healthy surface.
The feet require special care, and it is
too much tue practice to neglect them.
The omission of daily washing with
water, and the wearing of foot cover
ing so tight as to compress the blood
vessels and retared the circulation of the
blood through the extremities, are the
most common causes Of cold feet. The
remedy is ObviOus--dress loosely and
wash frequently. The skin plays an
important part in the preservation of
bodily health.

Surgeons PerQuisItes.

An English legal journal speaks of a
somewhat embarrassing legel question
which has arisen at Washington. A
surgeon amputated both legs of pa
tient, claimed them "ds his perquisites, !"
placed them in spirits, and exhibited
them in local museum in jar with
the name of the original owner. The
latter. who objected to this publicity,
brought an action for the recovery of the
legs. No decision has been arrived at,
but the authorities are anxious in the
matter, for, if the plaintiff succeeds,
they fear other lImbless individuals
may follow his example, and so the
museum may in time be robbed of much
of Its scientific value and personal in
terest. 1t has been suggested that the
museum authorities should take their
stand upon the principle that the legs,
when severed, become dead, and that
at common law there is no property in
q dead human body.

Professor j. C.. Lockwood, OF Prince
ton, New Jersey. says that Professor q.
w. Fuchs, formerly of Heidelburg, out
now in Meran. Tyrol, Austria, has for
the last fifteen years published annual
statistics of earthquakes and volcanic
phenomena, and has noticed that in his
lists America is remarkable for the pau
city of shocks reported. This be at
tributes, and rightly, as Professor Rock
wood thinks, to the lack of information
on the subject rather than to the real
paucity of such events. As DR.: Fnehs
is now proposing to revise his lists, he
requests ormation in regard to
American earthquakes, especially for
the whole or any part of the period since
1865. Professor lockwood, who has been
occupied in similar work in this eoun-
try, is also especially desirous to OBJ
tain correspondents on the Pacific cost
who would aid in collecting informa-
ton in regard to earthquake shocks in
that region.

FREQUENTLY we find sick people
whose stomfchs reject all kinds OF
nourishment until conditions follow
that in many instances terminate IA
tally. In twenty instances in which l
have heard the popular sick-bed nour-
ishment prescribed and rejected by an
invalid's stomach, | have never known
the simple saucer of parched corn pud-
ding, or Cruel refused. The corn is
roasted brown, precisely as we roast
coffee, ground a fine as meal in Il cof-
fee mill, and made either into mush,
cruel or thin cakes baked lightly
brown, and given either warm or cold,
clear or with whatever dressing the
stomach will receive or retain. Parched
corn and meal boiled in SKINNED milk,
and fed frequently TO children suffer-
ing from summer diarrhSa, will most
always cure, as it will dysentery IN
adults, and we believe cholera in its
earlier stages.

The Temples of Paestum.

The Temple of Neptune is the most
imposing of all. Like the others, il is
built of travertine, hard durable stone
originally, but now Drowned by age,
and hOneycombed by the effects of heat
and storm. The columns, though not
high, are not in single pieces, but in
several, laid one upon the other, the
Outings joined with exactness, and the
whole originally covered with stucco.
In many of the capitals the stucco COW
ering still remains. The structure is
well elevated from the ground, and al
| though the surface around it must have
been raised, in the course of ages, by
the accumulation of debris, there is no
such squatty effect as is SO common
with modern buildings. The principal
| effect, indeed, is, as has been said, that
of solemnity and strength of propor-
tions." 1t is architecture that COM
mands respect, even awe and reverence.
We feel that We are in the presence of
something majestic, powerful and SOL
emn. A religion or superstition could
not fail to take strong hold Upon the
Imagination when so dlgnified and ex-
alted by art.
The Bssilica, so called, stands to the
right of the Temple of Neptune, with
space of 200 yards or so between, To
my mind, it has not the simple majesty
of its nei ghbor, though larger, and al
most equally well preserved. Its GEN.
tral space is elevated about four or five
feet above the outer portion, and is di-
vided into two equal parts by a row of
columns. The exterior columns are
nine in number at each end, and sixteen
at the sides. They curve considerably.
and taper toward the capitals, which
are in the form of fiat button.
These temples are none of them large.
The State House at Columbus is as
great, or greater, in dimeuslons than
all three of them together, and is far
more massive in actual construction.
But il is not their size that gives them
their impressiyeness. 1t is their maj
esty of proportion, conveying the per-
feet expression of strength and dignity.
We forget to consider whether they are
large or small we only reflect that they
seem large-in fact, much larger than
they are.
The Temple of Vesta, about a quar-
ter of mile TO the left of Neptune,
and fronting in the same direction, is
truly a gem. 1t occupies higher ground
than the others, and though inferior to
them in size, shows to good advantage.
1t is perfect. One feels that even the
iron clamps and bars which have been
placed here and there to support its de-
caying architecture, or hold erumbling
pieces of stone together, mar its exqui-
81 e proportions. 1t is even yet. in its
decay, sort of antique jewel, on which
any modern touch or addition, however
kindly meant, seems DETACHMENT. In
fact, il is the rare property of all these
structures. but particularly Of Neptune
and Ceres, that the more you study
them the less fault you can find with
them, ,architecturally speaking. There
is nothing too large or too small; moth
ing that you would add or take away.
How the old Greeks discovered this
perfection of proportion, and how they
mastered it so thoroughly, is perpetu-
al mystery and wonder,

THERE can hardly be two opinions as
to the nutrition of hay which has been
harvested at different stages of its
be cut when the blossoms are partially
turning, and cured with as little delay
as possible. Itis pretty much the same
with Timothy. Ifitis allowed to stand
too long it becomes dry and hard and
loses a large portion of its nuti iment
and fragrance, and we doubt if it pays
better, though it is generally believed
that 1t does. Any judge of hay can tell
whether it has been cut early or late,
and will not pay by ten to fifteen cents
per hundred as much as for the early
cut.
