A CHAPTER on VEGETABLEs.-Spi-
mach is an excellent dish when well
cooked. Take two quarts, wash, boil
for two minutes in sailed boiling wa
ter, drain, chop and beat in frying
pan for two minutes with an ounce
each of butter and flour; half pint
of meat broth is added, the compound
is stirred and heated for five minutes,
and served with small pieces of fried
bread. Second only to Spinach are
beet sprouts; we all know them boil
ed, but after they are boiled they
gain in favor by being fried for two
or three minutes in butter. New
cabbage scalded five minutes in fast
boiling water, coarsely chopped, and
sprinkled with flour, salt and pepper,
and gently stewed for five minutes
with milk or cream enough to cover
it, is good So, too, is red cabbage
sliced, thrown for fifteen minutes iD-
to scalding sailed water and vinegar,
then drained, and fried five minut,s
with butter, and served with littic
hot meat gravy. Lettuce, which
seems devoted to salad days." is ex-
cellent stuffed; it is well washed in
salted cold water, the roots trimmed
off, two tablespoonful of cooked
force-meat of any kind, or chopped
cold meat highly seasoned, inclosed
within the leaves which are bound
together with tape or bits of cloth :;
several heads thus prepared are pla-
ced in a saucepan, covered with broth
or cold gravy, we'll seasoned, and set
over the fire to simmer about five
minutes: the tapes are then removed
and the lettuce heads and sauce are
served hot. A link between cabbage
andlettuce are Brussels sprouts, those
tender, baby cabbages which, stewed
in cream or quickly fried in butter,
almost incline ones thoughts to veg
etarianism.
Green vegetables should be thor
eughly washed in cold water and
then dropped into water which has
been sailed and is beginning to boil
There should be a tablespoonful of
salt for each two quarts of water. If
the water boils long before the veg
etables are put in, it has lost all its
gases, and the mineral ingredients
are deposited on the bottom and sides
of the kettle, so that the water is fat
and tasteless, then the vegetables will
not look well or have a fine flavor.
The time for boiling green vegetables
depends much upon the age and the
time they have been gathered. The
Younger and more freshly gathered
the more quickly they are cooked.
Below is very good timetable for
cooking vegetables:
Potatoes, boiled, thirty minutes.
Potatoes, baked, forty five minutes.
Sweet potatoes, boiled, fifty min
ntes.
Sweet potatoes, baked, sixty min
utes.
Squash, boiled, twenty minutes.
Green peas, boiled, twenty to forty
minutes.
Shelled beans, boiled, sixty min
utes.
String beans, boiled, one to two
hours.
Green corn, thirty to sixty minutes.
Asparagus. fifteen to thirty min
ptes.
Spinach, one to two hours.
Tomatoes, fresh, one hour.
Cabbage, forty-five minutes to two
hours.
Tomatoes, canned, thirty minutes.
Caulifower, one to two hours.
pandelion, two to three hours.

MELON CULTURE.-An Ohio farmer
says: During the winter and spring
| gather all the fine manure / can,
such as hog manure with cobs raked
out, hen manure, barnyard scrapings,
etc. After the melons are planted
load this mixture on the wagon, and
if not wet enough l throw few pals
of water on it, drive into the field
and straddle one row, and with an.
other hand take two rows, one on
each side of the wagon, and put a
small shovelful of this mixture on
each hill. BY soaking the seed before
planting, over night it will be neces-
sary then to examine few hills in
course of five days, to see il they are
making their way through the inch
of dirt that was first put on the seed;
If SO, then the manure should be
showed to one side with the back of
a rake. After the melons are BEGIN
ming to get the third leaf / take
mixture of two-thirds of Stacked lime,
and one third plaster, and dose each
hill with about half a spoonful, get
ting the greater part on the dirt
around the plants. With this method
| can get a thousand good salable
meolns per acre, and always get
premium at our county fairs"

Respecting Roofing.

Parties erecting one or moro buildings for
themselves, or practical, professional con-
tractors should look well to ecoBomy and
durability in every article Of material that
enters into the construction of the building.
One of the principal items about building
is the roof. The top of house il Us greatly
exposed ss any part of il, and should GER
tsinly be constructed Of the safest and most
endurable material. This is true economy.
The composition roofing used by w. O.
Diboll has stood a most thorough test. 1t
has been used in this city and many other
surrounding towns for nine years. with uni
versal satisfaction. Mr. Diboll now has q
mammoth business. He is kept busy con-
stantly looking after his numerous contracts,
and keeps large force of mechanics con-
stsntly jumping putting on new roofs. lie
Is just finishing up two hundred squares of
his composition roofing on the Crowdus
building, and to day commences on the Bogel
building and the Globe hotel lie has put
down $4,000 worth of his roofing in Dallas
the past nine years. His roots are of a
ster ing character, and the best in Dallas,
notwithstanding what few interested parties
may gay to the contrary. His work
speaks Tor itself. He uses no coal
gas tar, but the best and purest coal from
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Any one interested
can call on scores Of business men for
reference.

A Hill of Iron.

The city OF Durango, Mexico. has
hill in its vicinity that is almost pure
iron. Il is Two miles long, one mile
wide and 200 feet high. On its surface,
uncovered and visible, are, according TO
estimate, zoe, O00, 600 tons OF iron ready
to be placed in the smelling ovens that it
is proposed to put up at the foot Of the
hill. A large part of the ore Yields
from 70 to 80 per cent. OF pure metal and
Is easily worked and converted into
steel. Wood for fuel in unlimited album
dance is to be had near by, and good
waterislikewise accessible. Altogether,
there seems to be no reason why Du-
range should not be Pittsburgh or q
Birmingham in the near future, or even
cast those cities OF iron and fame entire
ly in the shade.

HUMOROUS.

On the lst OF April st. Louis boys

and created much merriment in that

A school marin eloped from Omaha
recently with one OF her pupils, and left
her board bill unpaid. As soon as her
landlord found she was gone he went to
her room and hefted the trunk she had
lett. Ii was fesriully heavy, and he
said il Vas all right and that he didn't
care il she never came back; but on
opening the trunk it was found empty
and nailed to the floor. Then he was
mad.

fish thing to do, for one human being to
stand up and vote to keep another hu-
man being from votin, remarks West

not half so mean as it is for women like
Stone and Liyermore to stand up and
howl to compel other people of their
sex to vote, no matter how much more
they may prefer their happy, peaceful
fresides.

Peasant Life in Normandy.

MIS- Auloch Cralk,
Nearing Amiens, we begin to perceive
without doubt, that we are in foreign
country. True, the landscape is not
unlike our English rural landscape, when
especially inane, and the farm-houses
and buildings are like most others We
know; but there is dawning difference.
For instance, in England we never saw
those huge, queerly-harnessed horses,
with great sheepskins hung at their
necks, on the top OF their collars, and
bits of shiny brass dangling and jang-
ling about their forelegs in a fashion
which British Dobbin would never sub.
NIT 10 for an instant. And our indigen-
Gus British Hodge, how very unlike him
is this Norman peasant, in his invari-
able blue blouse, which dots the view
with a bit OF refreshing color. He Just
stops in his blowing or wagon driving
and what queer-sbaped wagons they
are Ito look up as the train skins by;
and, il near enough, We perceive that he
is spars.made. sharp-featured. generally
bearded, but as a neatness Of costume
and intelligence OF face rather beyond
Hodges. Ii sets us moralizing and
specializing on his daily liie-what sort
OF cottage or hovel he lives in; what
kind Of people are his wife and children;
and whether, supposing We were TO
drop in upon them at their supper to-
night, We should in the least understand
them, or they us, in language, habit or
sympathies, any more than il we drop
ped iron the moon. This with only an
hour and half Of Sea running between!
II takes down our insular pride con
sidersbly. Truly, the world is wide
place.
