KING SOLOMON'S BLACKSMITH.

And it came to pass when Solomon, the
son of David, had finished the Temple of
Jerusalem, that he had called unto him the
chief architects, the head arti6cers, and cum
ming workers in silver and gold, and in wood,
and in ivory, and in stone-yea, all who had
aided in rearing the Temple of the Lord, and
he said unto them:
"Sit ye down at my table; I have prepared
feast for all my chief workers. and cunning
ati6cers. Stretch forth your hands, therefore,
and eat and drink, and be merry. Is not
the aborer worthy Of his hire? Is not the
skillful arti6cer deserving of honor? Muzzle
not the OK that treadeth out the corn."
And when Solomon and the chief work.
men were seated, and the fatness of the land
and the oil thereof were set upon the table,
there came one who knocked loudly at the
door, and forced himself even into the festal
chamber Then Solomon thee King, was
wroth, and said:
"What manner of man art thou p
The man answered and said: ,....
"When men wish to honor me they call
me Son of the Forge; but when they desire
to mock me, they call me blacksmith; and
seeing that the toll of working in fire covers
me with sweat and smut the latter name, 0
King is not inapt, and, in truth, thy servant
desires no better"
"But," said Solomon; "why came you thus
rudely and unbidden to the feast, where none
save the chief workmen of the Temple are
invited ?"
please ye, my lord, came rudely," re-
piled the man ; "because thy servant obliged
me to force my way but l came not unbid-
den. Was it not proclaimed that the chief
workmen of the Temple were invited to dine
with the King of Israeli" 49,.
Then he who carved the cherubim said:
"This fellow is no SCULPTOR" and he who
inlaid the roof with pure gold said: "Neither
is he workman in fine metals.
And he who raised the walls said "He
is not cutter of stone."
And he who made the roof cried out: "He
is not cunning in cedar wood ; neither know
eth the mystery of uniting pieces of strange
timber together"
Then said Solomon, "What hast thou to
say, Son of the Forge, why l should not or
der thee to be pucked by the beard, scourg-
ed and stoned to death with stones ?" .....
And when the son of the Forge heard this,
he was in no sort dismayed, but advancing to
the table snatched up and swallowed cup
of wine, and said: ....
20 King, live forever! The chief men of
the workers in wood, and gold, and stone
have said that l am not of them, and they
have said truly. I am their superior; be-
fore they lived was created. | am their
master, and they are all my servants" And
he turned him round, and said to the chief Of
the carvers in stone,
"Who made the tools with which you
carve?"
And he said: "The blacksmith"

CHE farm aud firesiae,
REASONS WHY.

Why does boiling fast render meat hard
Because the excessive action of heat causes
the albumen of the meat to set solid, crisps
up the feshy fbers and prevents the heat
having a gradual access to the interior.
Why, when good soupo broth is required,
should the meat be put into cold water Be-
cause as the heat is developed very gradually
there occurs an intermixture between the
juices of the flesh and the external matter.
The soluble and the savory parts of the meat
escape and enrich tho soup. # 5ss
Why are stews generally healthful and d.
gestible Because, being compounds of va
rious substances, they contain all the ele'
ments of nutrition, and, as the office of the
stomach is to liquify solid food before digest
ing it, the previous stewing assists the stom-
ach in this particular !
What causes the cracking noise when lard
is put into frying pan? Lard always con-
tains some portion Of water, and it is the ex.
preston of this water into steam, forcing its
way through the fat. The heat at which fat
or oil boiis il much greater than water. When
the cracking ceases the water has been driven
of from the fat, and when the fat begins to
OOll OE UuUUlc ucdL Will uc SClJ
Why, in frying fish, should the fat or oil be
made very hot before the fish are put in
Because, if the temperature is low when the
fish is put into the frying pan, it becomes sod
den in the steam formed by its water but if
the oil is very much heated the water will be
at once driven of, and the fish nicely Drowned
by the scorching oil.
Why should fish or meat that is being fried
be frequently turned Because the turning
assists in the evaporation of the water. When
the fish or meat is allowed to lie too long the
steam is generated under it and the surface
becomes sodden and the moment the steam
is driven out, the surface catches to the hot pan
and becomes burnt and broken.
Why is broiled meat so juicy and savory
Because the action of the fire, hardening its
surface, seals up the pores through which the
juices might escape. 1t acts in the same way
that the sudden dip into boiling water does
upon the joints of meat, but more efectually
To turn broiling meat never use fork, but
tongs fork opens an escape for the juice
and wastes the best parts of the meat.
Why is cabbage rendered more wholesome
and nutritious by being boiled in two waters
Because cabbage contains an essential oil
which is apt to produce bad effects; and it is
recommended that it should be boiled in two
successive waters, and then it is soft and d
gestible.

And he said .tto che chief Of the masons
"Who made the chisels with which the
stones of the Temple we're squared p srr4
And he said "The blacksmith" L "
And be said to the chief of the workers in
wood:
"Who made the tools with which you
hewed the trees of Lebanon, and formed
them into the pillars and roof of the Tenn
ple?"
And he said: '""The blacksmith" a.
Then said he to the arti6cer in gold and in
ivory:
WHO makes your instruments, by which
you work beautiful things for my lord, the
King. 81
And he said "The blacksmith"
Enough, enough, good fellow" said SOL
omon. "Thou hast proved invited thee, and
thou art all mems father in art. Go wash
the smut of the forge from thy face, and
come and sit at my right hand. The chiefs
of my workmen are but men-thou art
more"
So it happened at the feast Of Solomon, and
blacksmi.hs have been honored ever since

FRENCH WAY OF WASHING Clothes
Two pounds of soap are reduced with little
water to pulp, which, having been slightly
heated, is cooled in ten gallons of water, to
which is added one spoonful of turpentine oil
and two of ammonia then the mixtureis is agi'
tated. The water is kept at a temperature
which may be borne by the hand. In this
solution the white clothes are left for two
hours before washing them with soap, taking
care in the meantime to cover the tub. The
solution may be warmed again and used once
more, but it will be necessary to add half
spoonful of turpentine oil and another spoon
full of ammonia. Once washed with soap the
clothes are put in hot water, and the blue is
applied. This process, it is obvious, saves
much labor, much time and fuel, while it
gives to the clothes whiteness much superl
or to that obtained by any other process, and
the destructive use of the wasbboard is not
necessary to clean the clothes from impuri'
ties.

CoL1c.-The symptoms of collie, one of the
most fatal diseases to horse, are readily de-
tected. The horse invariably scrapes with
his fore feet, kicks at the stomach and shifts
about, turns around, smells the floor, lies
down, rolls, remaining for time on his back,
and breathes heavily throughout. At re-
cent meeting of the London Farmers Club, a
relief and sure cure was presented by gen.
tleman who has been all his life among horses.
When the horse shows the symptoms of an
attack of collie, apply at once horse cloth
or woolen rug, wrung out Of boiling water, to
the stomach and to the sides, and cover with
another couple of cloths to retain the heat.
As they COO i, renew the cloths as often as
needful A large bran-poultice, as hot as can
be borne, is equally effective, and retains the
heat longer.

FARMERS WoRKsHoP.-.Every farmer
should have room, large or small, provided
with bench and wise, where many little jobs
may be done that cost money if carried to
the mechanic, and often hinder the farmer
more than the money cost of the job. Ifsuch
room can take a small stove, where fire
can be kept in cold days, it will pay many
times the cost of fitting up with bench and
few tools. The boys, too, will enjoy such
workshop, and will not be any more likely to
leave the farm, for having one provided for
their accommodation or amusement on rainy
days. Many farmers do their own carpenter
work, such as repairs on buildings, mending
farm implements and tools, and even build.
ing new work when they are any way handy
with tools. With little previous planning
and getting ready in the fall, good deal of
building and repairing might be done during
the winter season, while the farmers time is
less valuable than in mid.summer.-N. E.

The BENEFIT OF LAUGHTER.-Dr. Green,
in bis "Problem Of Health," says there is not
the remotest corner or little inlet of the
minute blood-vessels of the human body that
does not feel some wavelet from the convul-
sion occasioned by good, hearty laughter.
The life principals, or the central man, is
shaken to its inmost depths, sending new tides
of life and strength to the surface, thus mate.
rally tending to insure good health to the
persons who indulge therein. The blood
moves rapidly, and conveys different i'm
preston to all the organs of the body, as it
visits them on that particular mystic journey
when the man is laughing, from what it does
at other times. For this reason every good
hearty laugh in which person indulges tends
to lengthen lis life, conveying, as it does,
new and distinct stimulus to the vital forces.
Doubtless, the time will come when physl-
clans, conceding more Importance than they
now do the influence of the mind upon the
vital forces of the body, will make their pre-,
scriptions more with reference to the mind,
and less to drugs for the body; and will, in
so doing, find the best and most effective meth
cd of producing the required effect upon the
patient.

FARMING.-That nation alone is independ-
ent that relies upon its own products of the
soil for its provisions; upon its manufactures
for its necessary articles of common household
and general use. Home industries, home
skill and progressiveness, make country
wealthy and great. We must, at least, make
use of all the natural advantages which we
possess. Viewed in an agricultural, manu-
featuring, or commercial sense, the more we
purchase away from home, the harder we
must toll to amass wealth. 1t is what we
sell, not what we buy, that brings il. money
to our pockets The South purchases nearly
all its horses and mules from the West.
Thus we help to enrich the West while we
impoverish ourselves The West furnishes US
likewise with large portion of the food that
we consume-another unnecessary drain from
our purse. 1t matters not how fruitful our
cotton harvests how cheap our lands; how
low our labor, we cannot prosper under such
system of farming.
We must make our farms self'supporting
by first raising all the stock and provisions
necessary to meet our wants. Then will our
cotton crop add to our individual and coun-
try's wealth. Journal.

Experience is a school where man
