AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Corn and Tomatoes.-A pleasing
variety for the table may be made by
taking of corn and tomatoes each one
can, place together in q saucepan, sea-
son, and allow to stew Just long enough
to be well cooked-do not add water.
To Cure Ring-Worm in Cattle
BY means Of a sponge, moisten the af-
fected parts, once daily, with q solution
of five ounces of bisulphite of soda to
each gallon of soft water. Attend to
cleanliness and general comfort of the
animals, and feed literally.
To Clean Brass.-Finely powdered
sal ammoniac, water, to moisten, roche
alum, one part; water, sixteen parts;
mix. The articles to be cleaned must be
warmed, then rubbed with either of the
above mixtures and finished with fine
tripoli. This process will give them the
brilliancy of gold.
-Caulihower. - Caulifower seeds
should be sown in hot beds early in
February. Transfer the young plants
to q cold frame as soon as they are
large enough. They should be ready
for planting in the open air by tho 1st
of April, but must be protected at night
If there comes q cold snap.

Warm the iron until you cannot bear
your hand on it without burning your

The Fruit Recorder says: "Save
your cabbages from grubs by winding
little strip of paper loosely around the
stem from roots to leaves when set out.
We set large number of cabbages last
year, and not one that we wound the
paper around did we loose by grubs.
To destroy cabbage worms sprinkle
them with hot water"
Delicious Risotto, as made in
Russia.-Take one-hah pound of rice,
wash and pick it; put it in q stew
pan with three ounces OF but
ter; when melted add half pint OF
good gravy or stock; simmer gently
until the rice is tender; then stir in
three ounces cheese (grated) and one
ounce of butter; serve either alone as
an entree or with chicken or other white
meat. Half the quantity makes good
sized dish.
| Cracked and Sore Teats.-The ap-
plication, once daily, of portion of an
ointment made of one part of white
lead and eight parts Of hogs lard, or,
the application, morning and evening,
of q portion of veterinary cosmoline,
generally answers the purpose. o.
course, the teats and bag should be
washed with soap and water before each
milking; and the milking should be ef
fected as gently as possible, as friction
and pulling on the teats retard, If they
do not prevent, healing.
-Mucilage.-Dissolve teaspoonfu
of alum in q quart Of water; when cold
stir in as much flour as will give it thu
consistency of cream, being particular
to beat up all the Jumps; stir in as mucl
powdered resin as will lay on dime
also, six cloves; put in another vessel
teacupful of boiling water; set over tn
fire; pour the -four mixture into it, stir
ring well all the time; it will soon b.
like mush; when cool lay q cover on it
keep it cool. For use, soften it witt

were until . few days after they landed
in New York.
"The newspapers having published
an accountof his successful escape, and
given the name of the vessel, the poor
Captain could hardly contain himself.
and called at once upon Louis Mailliard
who assured him that it was true. and
presented him in al, formally to King
Joseph. sBut why did; you not tell
mef' said he, Il never would have be-
trayed him. Mailliard had to explain
to him that it was thought best to con-
ceal the real names and positions of his
passengers, for fear that he might have
shown some hesitation or less assurance
when boarded by the English officers.
Il think you were right saidthe Cap
tain; Il would have sunk my vessel
rather than let them come on board;
you were rightr Joseph was much
amused by his demonstration Of Bona
partisan, and sent him avery handsome
present to show that he had appreci-
ated his treatment on board"
1t is well known that some years
prior to the final abdication of Napo-
leon the contingency of his being forced
to abandon France and seek refuge in
America sometimes presented itself to
his mind. The late Esqxire Edward
Robbins stated to the author that Louis
Mailliard related to him once, when the
Emperor was speaking upon this sub
ject in presence of Joseph and some of
his officers, he unrolled a map of the
United States, and placing his finger
on q spot in New Jersey, said, in sub
stance: "H / am ever forced to fly to
America, I shall settle somewhere be-
tween Philadelphia and New York,
where can receive the earliest intelli-
gence from France by ships arriving al
either port" This idea probably gov.
erned the Count in his location

Napeleen's America. Dream.

The following deeply Interesting ac-
count never before given to the public,
of the escape of King Joseph from
France, and his voyage to America,
was communicated to the author by
Adolph Mailliard. of San Rafael, Cal, I,
thesson of Louis Maitland, the devoted
secretary and most confidential friend
of the ex-King: -
"A few hours before embarking on
the French brig which was to take him
to the United States. Joseph sent Mail
lard to the Emperor, with q letter urg-
ing again his brother to exchange
places, and make his escape from
France in Joseph's vessel. But Napo-
leon replied verbally to the messenger:
Tell my brother that have well con-
sidered his offer, and that cannot ac-
cept it. It would seem like flying away
from danger; besides, could not leave
behind me so many brave officers, who
have sacrificed everything for me.
Tell my brother that hope he will es-
cape the cruisers of England and arrive
safely.' -
Joseph on receiving this last an
swer sailed Immediately for America.
Had Napoleon accepted, he would prob
ably have reached New York safely, as
every precaution had been taken to
avoid detection. The vessel selected
was . small, common looking brig, the
Commerce. of two hundred tons,
loaded with q cargo Of Bordeaux wines
for . market. She was afast sailer and
was strongly built and was commanded
by skillful Captain, Messervey, a
Swede by birth. Although three times
on the hi1h seas the BRIG was stOpped
and searched by English ffigates which
were on the lookout for Napoleon, the
passports and papers of the passengers
on board had been SO carefully pre-
pared under fictitious names that they
were not discovered. The Captain Of
the brig did not even know who they

still has preserved its strong, full tone.
The general sound produced by striking
the smaller stones resembles that of q
blacksmith's anvil, some having little
clearer ring than others, and no two
sounding Just alike. In passing from
one to another of the larger rocks ono
is reminded of the tapping OF car-wheels
by the train-inspectors. Thousands of
people visit this natural phenomenon
every summer. The rocks themselves
bear evidence of this, the edges being
battered off by hammer-strokes, and the
sides of many having names carved upon
them, some parties who were unwilling
to take the time or trouble to chisel
their names upon the rocks, having re-
sorted to paint, and considerable daub-
ing has been done in various colors.
The advertising fiend has not failed to
put in his appearance; and we are made
aware of the merits of patent medicines,
of the place to buy carpet and the like
upon every hand. We have not heard
any satisfactory explanation of the
cause of the ringing or bell-like sounds
of these rocks. Some say it is owing
to there being q cavern under them.
This, however, can have nothing to do
with it. as when the rocks are removed
they still have the same sound. One
large and sonorous bowlder was taken
to the Centennial and attracted q great
deal of attention there. Another was
sent to England year or two ago.
There is probably metallic substance
in this group of powders to which the
ringing sound may be attributed. We
have not heard, however, of any geo
logical analysis being made. Half q
mile east of the Ringing Rocks, and in
the same range of hills, there is an
other group Of powders which are
much visited. Here q lofty pile of
rocks surmounts q cavity of considers
BILE depth, the whole being known as
the "Stone House." Near by the stone
house is a huge bowlder, some fifteen
or twenty feet high, which, from its pc
culiar contour, is called the Hay
Stack" Besides their acoustic quali-
ties there is another singular circum-
stance about the Ringing Rocks which
visitors rarely fail to notice. Many OF
them have very strange marks, or in
dentations. At some points these re-
semble the tracks of q horses hoof.
Others are like the track of q wagon.
Some of the larger indentations are
said to resemble an elephants foot,
and fac similes of the human foot are
claimed to be found among the smaller
ones.-Reading (Pd.J Times and Dis

Spanish Point.

The real Spanish point work-raised
and fist-closely resembles Venetian
point. The impulse to this sumptuous
lacework seems to have been given
first through the Moorish embroideries,
for which the Spanish Arabs occupying
the kingdoms of Valencia, Murcia and
Andalusia during the middle ages were
famous, and then through the school of
embroidery established by Philip II. in
the convent of the Escurial toward the
end of the sixteenth century, and -four
ishing after the expulsion Of the Morris
cos in 1910, where exquisite needlework
was wrought under the direction of
Fray Lorenzo di Monserrate and Diego
Rutimer, after the designs of Tibaldi
and other great painters. The influ-
ence of this school explains the superb
ority of design in point laces of Spanish
origin. The scrollwork of ornamented
fieur de lis, acanthus leaves and con-
Meeting stalks shows far more graceful
and easier lines than may be observed
in Venetian point. This work was re-
stricted to q few nunneries and prac-
ticed there almost exclusively for the
adornmento of the innumerable churches,
saints and priests. but very little used
for profane dress, as contemporary por-
traits show. Admirable specimens OF
this gorgeous point are preserved in the
Cathedral of Toledo, where complete
set of vestments and altar fronts, richly
embroidered and trimmed with lace,
exists for every one of the principal
feasts of the year.
A beautiful specimen of Spanish
raised point, exhibited at the South
Kensington Museum, consists Of chasu-
bles stole and maniple with corporal
or small square to place the sacramen-
tai cup upon. Nothing can surpass
this priceless lace in beauty of design,
marvellous workmanship and match

which the treasure was purchased, must
be considered very moderate. Scarce

quently initiated as Spanish raised
point. The flowers and stalks were
either formed with tape or braid, or cut
out from solid linen. the outlines but
ton-holed and the raised parts sewn on.
These limitations are q mockery of the
old work and are valueless. Sometimes
pieces occur more or less skilfully made
up of detached flowers and stalks; they
are most valuable to the collector, as
they frequently contain fragments OF
point work made at different periods
and in localities widely apart. Flat
Spanish point has the appearance OF
unfinished raised point, with the relief
work omitted. Specimens are scarce.

Love at First Sight.

Last Wednesday a well-to-do farmer
named John German, the proprietor OF
broad and cultivated acres few miles
from S.. Cloud, visited this city to take
in the sights and transact some personal
business. On the day named he en-
countered an old acquaintance named
Garrh, who did the agreeable by ex-
tending the stranger his services while
in the city. In the course of converse
ton q revival of "reminiscences took
place between the friends, during which
the subject of matrimony came to the
front, both men expressing regrets that
in the course of mutable concerns their
lives and usefulness were still eclipsed
by the lines of single blessedness. As
the conversation proceeded reference
was made to q sister of Garrh's, who
for several years past has been leading
an honorable but secluded life in the
House of the Good Shepherd under the
protecting care of the good sisters. Mr..
German expressed desire 70 call on
the young lady, and, with this object
in view, both men started for the insti-
tuition. The young lady. Miss Maria
Garrh, was highly pleased with the
call. and Mr.. Germans admiration for
the young woman was unbounded. Be-
fore leaving the institution he took the
brother aside and expressed himself
completely smitten, at the same time
requesting the liberty to propose. MIR.
German explained that he was the pro-
prietor of q large farm under perfect
cultivation, with q good house, four
teen COWS and as many horses, and un-
limited poultry, everything in short but
the presence Of loving wife and help
mate. He proposed and was accepted
instantly. 1t was explained that ur-
gent business required his presence al
home the next morning and that il con-
venient, he should be pleased to have
the ceremony Take place that very aft
ernoon. 1t was so agreed and the
young lady started down town for heI
trosseau, meeting her intended on the
street, ~ was afterwards explained,
without recognition. About sundowr
the parties repaired to the German
Catholic Church, where a modest cere-
mony took place, Immediately afte,
which the newly-wedded and happy
couple left this city for their home
where, should regret be necessary, they
will repent at leisure.-6. Paul Globe

the extent of their ability. The current
revenues are barely sufficient for cur
rent expenses. Christ Church is con-
siderably over q century old; it is
the church in which Washington
and his family worshiped-in which as
q vestryman he occasionally read the
service to the congregation, and in
which his pew still remains of the same
size and form as when occupied by him,

State or country, and is, SO to speak,
the property of the whole country, and

The Owner Of the Cape Of Good Hope and
His Ostrich Farm.

Mr.. Mcclellan, who was most kindly
hospitable, has an ostrich farm, but
his flock Of birds was not sveFy large ut
the time of our visit, he having had bad
luck at first in breeding.
Hc owns the actual Cape of Good Hope
and long stretch of the moorland ad-
joining, and has thrown q wire fence
right across the peninsula, 80 as to give
his ostriches the run Of q large tract,
stretching right down to the Cape it
self. One old hen ostrich was q pet
about the house. but used to do sad
damage in the farm yard eating the
young goslings, swallowing them like
oysters. ..-...--,
1t was amusing to go with Mr.. Nc
Kellar into one of his breeding pad
docks; here . pair of ostriches were
brooding on q nest of eggs, dividing,
as usual, the labor between them.
The cock was very savage and at
tackled all intruders. SO his master had
q long pole with fork at the end of it.
and when the ostrich ran at the party
he caught its neck in the fork. The
ostrich was excessively enraged, but
soon had to give in.
A kick from an ostrich is well known
as very dangerous. The only thing to
do when attacked without means OF de-
fense, Mr.. Mcclellan said, is to lie fiat
down and let the bird walk on you till
he is tired. I was astonished at the
brightness of the red coloring devel-
oped on the front of the legs of the
cock bird during the breeding season.
The ornamental appearance Of the bird
is greatly enhanced by it.
A narrow but strong and high pen is
provided for plucking the birds in.
They are driven into it and held fast.
1t is found better to pluck the feathers
out than to cut them off. The stumps,
if left in, are apt to cause trouble.
Young ostriches, when first from the
egg, have curious horny plates at the
tips of their feathers, like those in the
feathers of one of the Indian jungle
fowl, and some other birds not in the
least related to one another. -a

narrow toward its termination, and
ends in two capes, Cape Point, or
which is the lighthouse, and the Caps
Of Good Hope. The Cape Of Coco
Hope itself is . mass of rock, terminal
ing in perpendicular cliffs toward the
sea, but with ledges here and there, OF
