BEEF.-Bccf is better for food for
working people than it Is for those
OF sedentary habits. Beef is mostly
muscle, muscle Is nitrogenous,
and nitrogen, when done with,
Is cast out through tho kidneys.
The kidneys are never so active in Sc
dentary people as in manual laborers,
especially those that work with their
muscles continuously. People Of quiet
habits should hardly ever eat of beef
more than once day at most. Eating
more, they are liable to incur trouble
from the accumulation of nitrogen
ous matters In the system. Sometimes
the appetite will point out the course
for individuals to parsuc. 1t gene
rally will, # 1t Is not BETRAYED by
TOO many condiments. Laborers are
more likely to regulate themselves in
this matter.

THE PoTA1o.-It is supposed that
the potato is indigenous, and confined
to no particular part Of the world. Mr.
Darwin, for instance, found it wild in
the ChonOs archipelago. w. j. Hook
cr says that it ID common at Nalparai-
SO, where. it grows abundantly on the
sandy hills near the sea. In Peru and
various other parts Of South America
1t appears to be at home. 1t is well
known tact that 1t was to the colonists
whom Sir Walter RcleIgh sent out, in
Queen Elizabeth's reign, that VIC are
Indebted for our potatoes. Herrist, who
went out with these colonists, and who
wrote an account OF his travels, makes
what may, perhaps, be regarded us the
earliest mention Of the vegetable. Un-
der the heading Of "roots," ho men
tions what ho calls tho "openawk."
"Thcse rools," he says, care round,
some large as walnuts, others much
larger they grow OIL damp soils, many
hanging together as If fixed on ropes !;
they are good food, either boiled or
loastcd." In early times the potato
was considered by many to be po,son-
ous and unhealthy, and was avoided as
All article OF diet, particularly by the
very poor.

LIME IN THE TEA KETTLE.-Every
good housewife knows that an iron
kettle used for heating water that holds
lime In solution, will In Il short time
become coated with that substance
This beng Il poor conductor OF heat, it
Will OF couase take a longer time to
heat the water than when the kettle is
new. Copper or tin vessels do not be-
come coatcd with lime. The reason Is
that iron has All affinity for lime. which
the other metals have not. But this
affinity can be overcome by coating
the inner surface of the vessel with u
compound Of fannie acid and iron,
which Is soluble In water anu will not
precipitatc lime. This is easily done.
Take new tea kettle and put hand
ful OF oak bark Into 1t, I'LL with water,
an keep 1t boiling for three or four
hours, filling 1t up from time to time
as the water boils away. The iron will
get jet blnc. coat OF tnnnitc Of iron
and will be proof against lime. Care
must be taken that the kettle does not
boil dry and become heated to redncss.
heat little below that point will
destroy the coating. Ii The lime can
be fully removed from an old tea
kettle, 1t can be coated in tho same
manner rs new one, but will require
longer time, and perhaps it will re-
qutre longer time, and perhaps 1t
Will be necessary to repeat the boiling
two or three times.

CHOICE GRASSES FOR DKCORATION.--
A bouquet or vase Of properly dried
and tastefully arranged grasses of the
more graceful sorts, Is very pleasing
decoration for the parlor in winter.
The beauty of grass depends largely
upon the delicaoy of its flower clusters
and their graceful and orderly arrange
ment In the panicle or "head," as a
type OF beauty among the larger
grasses, long feathery plume of the
pampas Grass my be chosen, and 1t is
indeed very pleasing object when
preserved of Its original shape and
color. We must here enter a protest
against the violation Of nature by dy-
ing the plumes OF grasses any color
whatever. They, to our taste, cannot
be improved upon by being colored a
deep crimson and natural green un-
pleasant black, or any other color.
Grasses tor their greatest beauty should
be gathered just as they are fully In
dry In place that Is free from dust.
If a grass Is gathered after it Is be-
ginning to mature Its seed, the floral
parts will become brittle and soon fall
to pieces, and fail to be the objects of
what they would be If gathered when
just at the opening of sthe flowers.
There are a number Of naive grasses
that are worthy Of q place in such a
collection. In general, IL may be SAID
that any grass that Is attractive for its
delicacy, grace, and color while grow
ing In the field, Will not be disap-
pointing when 1T Is tastefully arranged
in the house.

AGRICULTURE.

PURCHASING AND PLANTING TREEs.-
There is a difference of opinion among
apple growers, as to the best season Of
the year for planting trees. Some pre-
fer the Fall, others the Spring, If tho
soil IL warm and the site favorable
one, trees planted in the Fall general
ly do we'll. have found it more con-
Venient and advantageous to purchase
tho tlees In tho Fall and plant them In
the Spring. If this method Is adopted,
select All elevated piece of ground in
the garden or elsewhere, that Is dry,
and where tho trees will he secure from
destruction by mice or stock, AS soon
rs the trees are received, with u sharp
roots, cutting them sloping on the un.
der side, and bury the trees in trench
cs, dug sufficiently deep to allow the
roots TO be below the action of the frost.
by Spring the cut roots will be healed
over and ready for throwing out new
tibres Immediately after planting.
When trees are thus purchased and
kept, they may be set out in the Spring
before the rush of work comes on. A
very important advantage gained by
purchasing the trees in the Fall and
Durying them, Is that they may be TAX
On lrom the trenches a few ut a time
and set out without injury to the roots.
Trees purchased In tue rail- should not
bc dug from the nursery rows until
the roots have como to lest, which Is
usually about tho last of October. Roo.
grated trees are preferable to top graf
ted J.; they are moro easily formed into
low, round heads, and are frequently
better growers. Whom selecting trees
reject all that are not stocky with
branches near the ground, also, all that
have grown in forks.

A Strange Journey.

MIDDLETowN, N. ", June - Five
or six years ago Rufus Miller, we'll
known farmer of Mechanicsville near
this city, just before retiring placed In
his eye what Is known rs an eyestone.
The next morning, as the stone did not
drop from his eye, he supposed that 1t
had dropped out while he was asleep.
He searched about his bedchamber, but
could not find It. Several weeks ago he
discovered hard lump on the end of
the little finger of his right hand. His
friends told him that 1t was wart, and
advised him to let 1t alone. About a
week ago 1t became painful, and he
began picking 1t. He soon saw that
there was hard substance under the
skin, and by continuous picking he
produced his long-lost eye-stone. Mr..
Miller examined the stone so carefully
that there can be no mistake. He
recollects that some months ago he ex-
perienced an aching in his right wrist,
and it is supposed that. the stone was
then moving toward the end of the
finger. 1t is a mystery how this little
bit of carbonate of lime made that jour-
ney through Miller's system without
being absorbed.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WAsHINGToN, D. c., June s, 1881.
The reports from Albany are not hopeful of
any speedy solution of the deadlock though IL
is stated that the administrationists are show
ing more disposition than heretofore to con-
centrate upon candidates. The Democrats are
in a state of disgust over the discovery that If
they had been watchful yesterday they might
have elected a Senator. The record showed
that there were only 100 members present.
With merely this number in attendance Sem
ator could have been elected with only 81
votes, which is less, by three, than the full
Democratic vote. In order not to be again
caught mapping, the following circular was
issued last evening to the Democratic members
OF the Legislature: Z" In view of the fact that
exigencles may at any time arise in the pend
lug Senatorial struggle, we earnestly recon.
mend that the Democratic members abstain
from pairing, and SO far as possible avoid
absence from the sessions of the joint con-
vention." The effort will be made to-day to
elect Mr.. Depew for the long term. The plan
now is to push him ahead till 1t is determined
whether II Is possible to elect him or not, and
in the event of failure to drop him aud take up
