The Prophetic Year--1SS1.

The year on which we enter to-day
has been looked forward to for some
/ time by great many persons in various
parts of the world as the one to be made
forever memorable by the termination
of the present (Christian) dispensation,
which will end, they say, by the descent
of the lord Jesus tolthe mundanesphere
who will resarrect His sleeping Tor de-
ceased) followers and translate to heav-
en- those of His disciples living at the
time; after which new order of things
will pervade this world of ours, when
iniquity will become universal, while
the judgments of the Almighty, as por-
trayed in the Apocalypse, will be pour
ed out upon all flesh in the meantime
1t is said that this day or period of judg-
ment will end in seven years. at which
time the Messiah will again appear ac-
companied by those resurrected and
translated at His first descent, and, the
Jewish nation being then in their own
land, He will purge the world of ''all
those that do iniquity," and at once in
augurate His reign as the Prince of
Peace, in accordance with ancient pro-
phecy. A great many maintain that
the present dispensation of the world is
the final one, while those who insist on
the theories just described assert that
the Greek words cosmos and 0iO73 trans
lated world" in the English version of
the New Testament are words of differ
ent definitions, the former having refer
ence to the present order of things re-
garding the universe, in opposition to
chaos, while the latter implies an age or
and is the word generally
used by Christ and His apostles when
speaking of the end of the world.
1t is impossible to quote the many
speculations, plausible and visionary,
urged by different ones in order to SUBJ
stantiate the conclusions referred to, as
it would require volumes but as we are
living in the age supposed to be intend
ed by Daniel when he prophesied of
"many running to and fro and knowl-
edge being increased" it is supposed
that anything regarding Revelation will
be interesting to some, at least. The
following diagram and explanation of
the ages to come is taken from books
now being circulated among Bible stud-
ents: s.,I.t 4IgfI

THE VALUE OF HEN MANURE.-If
all the droppings from the roost by hens
be carefully saved in barrels, and every
spring and fall this manuresbe compost
ed with any good soil or muck from
swamps and kept few months. its
value is equal to Peruvian guanO, and
may, think, be estimated at fifty cents
per fowl per annum. From fifty hens I
save about ten barrels of the pure guano
during the year. What I save from
November to April, compost in the
spring with the soil. First spread in
circle, soil te the depth of three or four
inches, then I spread another layer of
soil, and then a layer of manure, till the
heap is completed, using about four
times the bulk of soil that do of ma
nure, the last layer being soil. The top
of this compost heap make fiat to catch
the rains, then cover it with any refuse
straw or hay, then place some sticks Of
wood or boards against the covering to
keep il in place, and in two or three
months it is ready for use having be-
come thoroughly incorporated with the
then past mostly, I leave the heap till
the next year, when use it with what
compost in November. Perhaps il
would be better to make compost in
March, where the climate will admit,
and use the manure for crops planted
the last Of May or early in June, but l
-can discover no loss by keeping it till
the next season. A gill of this compost
to hill of corn will be equal.in effect to
half q shovelful of stable manure.

COOKING A TURKEY.-There is roast
turkey, and roast turkey, but there
is a wide difference even when
the birds are of like age and quality,
depending wholly upon the skill
in the kitchen, or of its superin-
tendent.. A lady who is reputed to al
ways have "good roasted turkey" at
our request kindly wrote out the follow
ing for the american Agricatttatrlst (:
s'Unless it is badly soiled, never soak,
wash, or wet a turkey, as many do.
Indeed washing Injuries any kind of
meats and fish, except those kept in salt
brine. Carefully draw the turkey, and
wipe thoroughly inside and out with a
dry towel. It will thus keep longer
uncooked, and be better havored.-If it
chances to be tough one, steam it an
hour or two, as needed, before baking.
If one has not steamer large enough,
as. few have. it may be done In wash
boiler, supporting the bird above the
water on couple of inverted basins, or
suspending it by strings from the ham
dles.-My family has learned to like
plain stuffing rather than the highly
seasoned, rich, indigestibIe dressing so
much in vogue. use stale bread chop

butter, salt, pepper, and, if desired, a
small pinch of Sweet Marjoram or
Thyme. Most like Summer Savory,
but we omit it, because not relished by
oneof the family.-After stuffing and
sewing, fasten the wings and legs down
closely with skewers or by tying with
strings. Roast ih the dripping pan
vithout a0dter. To keep the skin from
screening, ,baste now and then with a
little water Seasoned with butter and
salt. Bake through uniformly to light
brown, avoiding burning or hardening
any part.-A good oyster stufdng, when
easily obtainable, is liked by many, as
follows: Drain off most of the liquor
| from the oysters, season with sufficient
butter and pepper. and roll them in
cracker or bread crumbs. Fill the cavi-
ty of the turkey entirely with these."

Household Recipes.

| SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH DRIED
BEEF.-Shave the beef very fine; put q
tablespoonful of butter in a frying-pan !;
set it over the fire, and when hot put in
! the beef; heat a few minutes, stirring
constantly to prevent burning; beat up
the required number of eggs, and stir in
with hot beef; stir all together until the
eggs are cooked. Serve Immediately.
SOAP FOR REMOVING GREASE Spots.
dissolve in a half pint of water half
pound of washing~soda; put in two
pounds of good hard soap cut in slices,
and boil until a hOmogen eous mass is
formed; then add alchoI, .camphor,
either, and liquid ammonia, half an ounce
of each, and mould it into cakes.
CURE FOR INFLAMED EYEs.-Take a
half ounce of golden seal (you will find
boiling water upon it, and let it cool.
Bathe the eyes with linen rag dipped
in this each night on going to bed, and
you will soon effect cure.
MEAT BREAD.-A beefsteak chopped
up fine and baked with flour and yeast
in the form of ''meat- bread" loaf is the
latest dietic sensation. 1t is asserted
that meat thus treated entirely disap-
pears during the process of publication,
the nutritive principles becoming incOr-
Cestner has just been explaining the
process.
A QUICK PUDDING.-POur pint of
boiling milk on ten teaspoonfuls of graf
ed bread crumbs. Let them stand ten
minutes. Then add the yolk of four
eggs, well beaten, six tablespoonfuls of
lsugar, and two of butter. Season with
lemon extract Stir well, add the whites
[of the eggs, previously beaten to stiff
froth pour into buttered pudding
dish, and bake quickly. To be eaten
with wine sauce or cream and sugar.
COTTAGE PUDDING.-Three pints of
milk, four to six eggs, sugar to taste, two
thick slices of bread, crumbed very fine.
Any kind of fruit may be added, and it
is good without. Flavor to taste. and
bake half an hour in a moderate oven.
When baked, heat the whites of three
eggs to stiff froth, with little sugar,
and cover the top in large spoOnfuls,
and sprinkle with pink sugar sand;
heat till light brown. This is very de-
licate and handsome.
SAVE Your SUGAR.-EveIy house,
keeper should know that sugar boiled
with an acid, if it be but for three min
utes will be converted into glucose,
which ais the form of sugar found in
sweet apples. One pound of sugar has
as much sweetening power as two and a
uarter pound of glucose. In other
words, one pound of sugar stirred into
the fruit after it is cooked, and while
yet warm, will make the fruit as sweet
as two and quarter pounds added
while the fruit is boiling.

LOVE AT CHRISTMAS TINE.
1t seemed but yesterday, my wife, i'i 9'
That we were in our prime,
That love began his magic life
One happy Christmas time,
saw you fairest in the throng
And graceful in the dance; c.
There was deep music in your song,
Strange glamor in your glance,
And was haunted by the rhyme,
Love is twice love at Christmas time"
And when successive seasons crowned
That early life OF ours,
And closest earthly ties were bound
With little human flowers fa.
We Kept our homely, simple feast
Among our children small
With gentle peace a welcome guest,
A strong good will to all;

How TO TREAT FROsT-BITES.AI
part of the body gets frozen, the very
worst thing to do is to apply heat dir
ectly. Keep away from the, fire. Use
snow if you can get it; if not, use the,
coldest possible water. Last winter our
little boy of five years froze his feet
while out coasting at considerable dis
tance from the house. He eried,all, the
way home. and the case seemed pretty
bad. I brought big painful of snow
and put his feet into it, rubbing them
with the snow. But my hands could
not stand the cold. / was alarmed to see
him keep his feet in the snow solong,
but he could not bear them out of it. 1t
was half an hour before he would take
them out, and then the pain was all
gone, and when I had wiped them dry
and rubbed them little, he was entire
| ly comfortable. put on his stockings and
shoes, and went to play. He never after
wards had any trouble with his feet on
account of this freezing. His sister got
her feet extremely cold, and put them
at once to the fire. Her case at first was
not so bad as her brothers., but the re.
suit was much worse. Her feet were
very tender all winter, and she suffered
from chilblains. Her toes had a swollen
purple look, and she had to take lar

day. The people would be shocked with
such rutlanly scenes as were enacted yester.
day hsd they not become pretty well pre-
pared TO expect almost anything from the
average statesmen who compose the highest
legislative body in the country. No language
can do justice to the shameless aud unpsr-
donsble outbursts of yesterday. Senator
Dawes has thoroughly disgraced the state
which he represents on more than one coca
sion since the momentous fight over the
national spittoon patronage began, and he
has again been compelled TO STEP on himself
In the effort to escape from a corner into
which he got himself by too much hasty
accusation. The scene little further on in
the proceedings, between Hill, Malone and
Cameron, would have dishonored caucus Of
ward bummers. 1t is not apart of the
business of statesmansbip, but much in the
way of anything 10 the way of craftsmanship
has cea.ed to DO expected from Washington.
II Is quite natural for men who have not ing
better than the petty plumber Of the senate
chamber TO quarrel over to full 10 calling
each other liar and coward, 10 shake their
fists in each others faces and to get them
selves held back BY the coat.tails lest they
should wipe a senator ofthe other side out
of existence. The people cannot contem
plate this thing with any sort Of patience, but
there does not seem TO be any immediate
help for 1t since the people have allowed the
small men to get into position TO act thus.
This sort Of entertainment may DO regularly
expected, however, as long as the politics Of
the national spittoon-cleaners remain in
