bad harvests and discomfort, but it is a
most effective remedy for assassination
and Boycotting." Moreover, it seems
to be the only practicable remedy.
Another and not less difficult problem
viii be forced upon the attention of the
Government. There can be no doubt
that Parnellism is spreading in England.
The hard times have forced farmers to
seriously consider their position, and
their ideas on this subject have been
freely expressed at the agricultural
meetings, which took place all
over the country early in Deem
Der. 1t is plain that both landlord and
tenant are in quandary. In the mid
land, western, and southern counties
there are thousands of acres which can
not be rented on any terms. In the
County of Essex alone fifty thousand
acres are left untitled; the farmers have
gone to London and hired out as help
ers in the stables of London horse-own-
ers at S5 week. In view of these facts,
it is not surprising that, at the recent
meeting of the Farmers Alliance, dele
gate was for adopting some principles
OF the Land League. There seems to
be no probability of any sslet up'' for
these tillers of the SOIL The cause of
the stringency was clearly set forth by
Messrs. Read and Pell, who visited this
country last summer to inquire into the
prospects of the United States and
found them to be enviable. The COM
missioners were agreed that, so long as
this country enjoys its present prosperi-
ty in grain and cattle, the English pro-
ducers will have difficulty in making
living. Mr.. Read was not afraid of the
competition of European countries;
''what with their overwhelming armies,
their WORKOUT soil, and their debts, the
British farmer has nothing to fear from
them, but from the ingenious and indus
trious people of the West serious COM
petition has to be met, and the question
is how this can best be done.''
To this question no satisfactory an
swer has yet been found.-New York

FARM AND HOME.

LADIES, in altering over old black
sick dresses, will find it greatly to their
advantage not to use hot iron on them !;
sponge the pieces with large sponge
dipped in clear coffee, and then fold and
lay away under as heavy pressure as
possible. The silk will come cut looking
almost like new.
Rock CREAM.-Steam one cupful of
rice in new milk until tender, sweeten
with white sugar and heap on dish !;
lay over it small slices of jelly, or any
preserved fruit, beat the whites of eggs
to froth with little white sugar, and
flavor with vanilla; add one tablespoon
full of rich sweet cream and lay over the
rice with a spoon, giving the form of a
rock of snow. 1t is both ornamental
and delicious.
COLD BEDRooMs.-Itisa always amatte1
of great moment to maintain an equable
temperature in the bedrooms. A bed
room the air of which is subject to great
and frequent and rapid changes of tenn
perature is always trap for danger. To
persons who are in the prime of life, and
who are in robust health, this danger is
less pronounced, but to the young and
the feeble it is a most serious danger.
1t is specially dangerous to aged people
to sleep in room that is easily lowered
in warmth.

Serve with powdered sugar, mixed with

SOME one may be glad to know how
to make delicious lemon pie which is
not too rich to be enjoyed. Prepare a
crust for the pie in deep plate, then
stir one tablespoonful of corn
starch into little cold water, add one
cup of boiling water, let all come to a
boil, then add seven tablespoonful of
sugar, the well-beaten yelks of four
eggs and the grated rind and the juice
of two lemons; while this is baking beat
the whites of the four eggs and one
heaping tablespoonful of pulverized
sugar to stiff froth; when the pie is
baked spread this smoothly over the top,
then set it in the oven for two or three
minutes; this is long enough to give it
the desired golden brown color.
AROMATIC MUsTARD.-One quart of
good pure cider vinegar, two tablespoon
fuls of ground allspice, two tablespoon
fuls ground cinnamon, one tablespoon
full ground cloves, three tablespoonful
of brown sugar, four tablespoonful OF
salt and three large onions cut fine; put
all into two-quart fruit-can and set in
cold water, putting on the cover lightly,
and boil one hour. Then strain the
vinegar and heat again boiling hot;
pour slowly on one pound of best En-
glish mustard that is fresh and not bit
ter. Stir until perfectly smooth, but if
not thin enough add vinegar to the same
spices and boil to thin it. Keep in the
fruit-can and make air-tight. 1t i'm

Capt. John N. Bofnger is steam
boat man and well known throughout
the South and West. Lately he has
been devoting much time to the history
of steamboats,. He has found that
steamers, and especially Western river
steamers, whose name begin with "M''
are very unlucky. Ifthey have not been
sunk, burned or destroyed by boiler ex-
plosions, their owners have met with
financial disaster through their means.
As proof Of what he AYERS to be true, he
cites innumerable Magnolias, Missouris,
Magentas, Marys, Myrtles, Massachu-
sets, Metropolises, Marigolds, Missis-
sippis, Mayf1owers, Monitors, Monticel-
los, and others with initial "M," all OF
which have come to grief.

recognized in the tramp the criminal he
was looking for, and, pretending to be
scared, he replied: "Why, you don't

me of, do you? I've been on the road
for four months. I've come all the

pistol and handcuffed him.

Mount Washington.

Mount Washington is 6,293 feet above
sea level. It is the most elevated noun
tain summit in New England, and the
grandeur Of the scenery has no equal east
Of the Rocky Mountain range. The most
faithful description is spiritless in COM
parison with the vastness and sublimity
of the scene. Below on every hand are
great mountains, the earth's surface SEEM
ingly having been tossed in tempest.
The sun, one moment, shines perhaps in
noon-day splendor, and in the next great
cloud sweeps by, covering the summit 10
a thick mist, completely shutting out the
view Of the world below. Again, in a
moment. the cloud passes. and grand
scene is opened to view The z eat
mountain peaks pierce the clouds and re-
semble islands in vast lake. Often as
the sun sinks to rest beyond the western
mountain range, the valleys that lie be-
tive it and Mount Washington are filled
with flood Of golden light. and cloud is
made gorgeous by the rays Of the setting
sun. Broken masses Of dark mica rocks
are scattered in the widest confusion and
are 80 rough that tits difficult TO walk over
them. Here terminate the railroad from
the west side and the carriage road from
the Glen House on the east side. North
erly Of Mount Washington in the order
named, are Mount Clay. jefferson. Adams
and Madison. To the left is the village
Of Jefferson, and back Of il stands
Starr King Mountain. Beyond and
to the right Of Madison Is thed
Androscoggin valley. and still beyond is
Umbagog lake Easterly and al the base
of the mountain is the Glen House. back
Of which rises the Carter range. Further
south Is the Ellis river running southerly
through Pinkham Notch into the Saco.
Loveil's Pond, Mounts kearsarge and
Pleasant and Sebago Lake, Diversity the
eastern landscape. Southerly are North
Conway. the broad intervales Of the Saco

mountains. and to the right Of them are
Chocouia. Pangus. Passaconaway. Tripy-
ramid, Sandwich. Dome, Osceola, Han
cock and Carrigain. To the right Of The
latter Is Mount Lafayette, and still further
west in Vermont are the Green Mountain,
Mount Mansfield and Cancels Hump.
Closer at hand. and south-westerly OF the
summit is the Lake of the Clouds. where
the Ammonoosuc takes its rise, full 5000
feet above the sea. Beyond are Mounts
