lee and the Stomach.

Tho use Of ice as luxury, in the form
Of Ice cream or Of iced water, Is bccOm-
ing more prevalent in this country.
Used in these ways they are generally
taken, especially by the young, reck-
lcssIy, without thought OF any serious,
possibly fatal, results that may follow.
An average stomach has an immense
dcnl to do to digest three full meals Il
day; especially when, rs is frequently
the case it "a disturbed and irrltatcd by
food that - inIigcstble because of its
quality or It's quantity. Let II be rcmom-

stomach. Neither is there Thought, II

Such an organ must. therefore, be
highly organized. It has countless

rolling motion by which the food is
thoroughly mixed with the saliva Every
organ and muscle when in action must
have n special supply of blood. This is
especially true OF the stomach.
Food, therefore, fails 10 disgcst if the
blood is withdrawn from the stomach,

or close thought, or by anxiety, imme-

Now. it is the nature of cold to con-
tract all blood-vesscls and drive back the
blood, aud to paralyze, moro or less, all
nerves. OF course, the flow Of gastric
juice is checked, and digestion is arrested,

Mnter for Babies.

I was one day called upon to visit a
sick little one in family residing near
nv office. The babe found in apparent
good health, but crying and struggling
in its mothers arms as though suffering
from excruciating pains
The mother informed me that the
child seemed DESTROYS of nursing contin-
ually; and that to quiet it, she had
given il the breast as often rs the cry
ing commenced When that did not
soothe the little one, dose OF Mother
Somebody's cordial had been admins
tered.
"My good woman" l inquired,
"when did you last give your babe a
drink Of water?'
81 don't remember, " replied the lady;
81 seldom let him drink water. Does
he need it?'
"Need it? Why should he not need
it as much rs you? This child is suffer
ing from thirst nothing more.
| called for cold water gave the in
FAINT a few tablespoonfuls, and it was
relieved OF all its trouble, stopped cry
ing, and sank peacefully to sleep in its
mothers arms.
Let this be a reminder to mothers and
nurses. Infants who nurse at the breast
may often suffer rs much from want Of
water as adults who eat more solid food,
Often when a child cries it is only thirst
which causes it.
Do not, then, dose it with the poison
Gus soothing syrups or nursing cor
dials, or press it to the breast, which it
will eagerly grasp, expecting to satisfy
its burning thirst; but, filled to the brim
with its natural food, it cries on harder
than ever.
Use little discretion. The poor little
one cannot tell its wants; if it could, it
would often cry, "Water! water"-Er-

SOME curious astronomical calculations
have been presented by Mr.. @. b. War
ring before the Poughkeepsie Society OF
Natural Science, a few Of which possess
general interest. If We suppose the dis
lance between the earth and the sun
(about ninety-two and one-third millions
Of miles, TO be reduced TO dozen rods or
more, the size Of the two globes to be re-
duced IN the same proportion, the dis.
lance from the earth to the nearest fixed
star would still be, on the same scale,
about two thousand miles, and to the
more distant ones it would be not less
than eighteen millions of miles. From
those more distant stars the light must
travel for sixty centuries before it reaches
u.s. and yet light travels SO fast that it
would circle round the earth more than
seven times in single second of time.
If the sun could be reduced, in magma
ton, 10 HOO Of an inch in diameter, the
earth would then be Of microscopic size,
about l-10,0 Of an inch, but the dis
lance between it and the nearest star
would not be less than three miles. II
the sun we're n hollow sphere and the
earth were placed at its center, with the
moon revolving around it in its estab-
lished orbit, there would still be dis
lance OF 200000 miles from the lunar or
hit to the surface of the solar sphere. If
these relations Of size and distance are
inconceiyable, the forces which compel
the planets to move in their elliptical or
bits are quite as much beyond our com
prehenslOn. A bar Of steel three inches
square will sustain weight Of $40 tons,
but bar having section Of 144 square
inches would sustain 500 tons, which,
upon a railroad, would require S6i cars to
support it, and 90 locomotives to trans
port it. To defect the moon from q
straight course into its present orbit, or,
what is the same thing, TO retain it in its
present course, would require the united
strength Of not less than eight steel bars,
each one hundred miles square, or, more
accurately, a single bar whose section Is
81 800 square miles more than large
enough to cover the States of New York
and Ohio together. If this force were
represented by web Of steel wires each
One-quarter Of an inch in diameter,
stretched from the earth to the moon,
they would be distributed over our earth
on the moon side only six inches apart !;
and if a similar web were stretched from
the earth to the sun, the force exerted be-
tween these two bodies would require the
wires to cover one side of the earth as
close together as blades Of grass upon
lawn.

Directions for Cake Making.

Cake making is one of the most diff
cult branches of cooking. Recogniz-
ing this fact, Mrs. Beecher, in her arti-
Gle in the Bazar, gives some useful
hints from which the following main
points are taken: For cake, let the flour
dry near the fire while the other ingre-
dients are being collected. Then sift it,
and, if cream of tartar or baking pow
der is desired, sift that with the flour.
Roll the sugar to avoid humps Eggs
used for cake should be put into cold
water in summer while the preliminary
work is going on. First beat butter and
sugar together until white and creamy;
then the eggs, whites and yolks beaten
separately always. for the whites require
much longer time to be beaten perfect
ly. Strain the yolks after beating, and
add to them the well-beaten sugar.
Next add the spices. Stir the flour
gradually before using the sweet
or sour milk, needed. If soda and
cream of tartar are to be used, the lat
ter should be sifted with the flour (also,
as above stated, when only baking
powder is called for). Dissolve soda in
cool water or milk, never in anything
hot. as heat destroys the best part of it.
Put in the soda after the milk has been
added and well beaten with all the 9TH
er ingredients. If prepared flour is
used, neither soda nor cream of tartar
can be employed. The currants. cit
ron or raisins must be well Toured, but
use for this flour measured out for the
cake, else the cake will be too stiff
Beat up the batter very light before add
ing the fruit, as it should be beaten
gently, and not long, after that is add
ed. The whites, being very stiff, are to
be put in the.last thing. After that very
little beating is allowed only what is
necessary to incorporate the fruit and
whites of eggs thoroughly with all the
other ingredients. When beating the
whites, do not stop, after once having
begun until they are very stiff, else they
will ssgo back and can never be
brought up as light again. In making
raised cake, all fruit must be well rolf
ed in flour for that purpose, and not
added to the cake till just ready to put
into the oven. 1t must not then be beat
en- in, but spread over the top lightly
and pressed in little way else the
fruit will all sink to the bottom and be
worthlesse Practice and watchfuiness
soon teach one to Judge correctly when
cake, bread, or pies are done. If ever
SO properly prepared, they will be
heavy il taken from the oven before
thoroughly baked. If obliged to turn
pans round in the oven, move with
great gentleness and, if possible, never
take cake, bread, or biscuit out of the
oven to turn It. The air striking it will
injure it greatly. If sourmilk or but
termilk is used in making cake, it must
be placed in tie oven as soon as put to-
gcther. unless, like hard gingerbread
or cookies, it needs to be rolled out or
| nodded In that case it is not injured
if il stands sonic hours.

King Frederick's Joke,

l1oHuou
Conspicuous among the few men of
his time who ever got the best of Fred
erick the Great in a iesting encouuter
was an abbot of the Catholic Monastery
of Camenz, who succeeded in that high
office the worthy Abbot Tobias, an old
favorite and friend of the Protestant
hero whom, upon Il memorable occa-
sion, he had saved from capture BY a
party of foraging Croat horsemen. The
king diSiked the new abbot Us heartily
as he liked the old; but having been hos
pitably entertained by him during the
last visit he ever paid to Camenz. he
deemed 1t fitting to recognize his hosts
attentions by some special mark of royal
grace, and, calling the abbot to his car
riagc window. ae he was about to drive
away from the monastery gates, said to
him: ''Ask me a favor" Sire OBJ
served the abbot. ''our second bass
choir singer is recently dead Doubt
less your majesty can dispose of many
choirists in Berlin. Will my all-might-
lest, ail-serenest monarch deign to be-
gift us with Il second bass?" The king,
after o moments reflection, replied:
''rll send you one from Neustadt ON the
Dosse.''
1t flashed across the abbot's mind
that Frederick had some short time pre-
viously set up an establishment for i'm
proving the breed of asses in the very
town mentioned by him, and, foreseeing
what sort of bass singer the kings pc
culiar humor would prompt him to for
ward to Camenz wherewith to recruit |
its choir. he promptly rejoined: "Most |
dread sovereign. in token of o,lr graft
tude for your gracious bounty, and in
accordance with the custom of our or
der, we shall bestow upon our new
second bass the name of his exalted
donor. He will be known in our choir

made no attempt to return this dexter
Gus home thrust, but drove off in silence,
which he maintained unbroken for
nearly an hour, when, turning to his
he dryly observed: That
is what one gets by joking with foolsr'
But he never again alluded to an epis-
sode in which he felt he had been
thoroughly worsted.

Rings.

In case of a gentleman wishing to
marry-literally in the market with his
heart-he wears plain OF chased gold
ring upon his fore finger of the left (or
hearty hand. When success attends his
suit and he is actually engaged, the ring
passes to the third finger. If, however,
the gentleman desires to tell the fair ones
that he not only is not '.in the Market"
but does not design to marry at all, he
wears the signet upon his little finger,
and all ladies may understand that he
is out of their reach. With the fair sex
the claws of the ring are: A plain or
chased ring on little finger of the right
hand implies ''not engaged" or in plain
words, ''ready for proposals sealed, or
otherwise. When engaged the ring
passes to the first finger of the left
hand. When married the third finger
receives it. If the fair one who pro-
poses to defy all siege to her heart, she
places rings on her first and fourth fin
gers-one on each, like two charms, to
keep away the tempter. 1t is some
what singular that this disposition of
rings is rare.
