There is another custom which is OBJ
served by all true Romans, namely, the
eating of large beans on the I'd OF No
vember The origin OF this custom Is
not known; but it is thought that in olden
times the dead were honored in May
instead of November and that, as beans
were then IN season, they formed part OF
the feast. Now, however, dried beans
have TO be eaten. and as everyone does
not like that food, the church allows iml-
tation beans. These are made OF sugar
and pastry, made up in the shape OF and
called dead mems bones. The very
name is sufficient to deter many from
partaking of this pastry, though 1t Is
said to be delicious, but the sight of
human bone. even when being eaten by
the prettiest of mouths. is not pleasant.
The custom of placing these death-bones
on dining tables had the same origin as
that of introducing skeletons at festivals
70 remind the guests that all were NOR NOR
tai and that it was best to enjoy life
whilst they could.

What Coal Ashes Are Good For.

Coal ashes-are they good for anythingi
Yes, two things at least. First, l would
pay as high as 40 cents barrel for sifted
coal ashes rather than he without them in
my hennery. / have used them for years
and find them of great value. They keep
hens in health. During the last five years
have lost but ont hen by disease. My
flock is never less than thirty, and many
times $50, certainly averaging 30 the
year round. They are wholly Plymouth
Rocks, find that when sifted and placed
in the sun ON the ground the hens like To
dust themselves with them and pick up
something. Wood ashes will ''cut" the
droppings of the hens and thus throw off a
very valuable part of the manure. Not SO
of coal ashes. They can be sifted and
sprinkled under the roosts and over the
floor, and thus keep the room clean and
dry.
Secondly coal ashes are good to save
some pear trees. Five years since Mr..
5. 5. Chamberlain at 100 Capitol avenue,
Hartford, Conn, had some Bartlett pear
trees that had been great and valuable
bearers but were so far gone as to make il
almost advisable TO cut them down. He
thought he'd try zone year more" 80
taking up the sod for about two feet all
around the trees, and filed the place with
coal ashes and made a mound about the
tree about ten inches high, packed down
hard, and then covered the mound with
sods. The trees revived and are alive to-
day looking well and have borne fruit ever
since, believe, 10 the full extent ex-
pected Of a good tree.-D.. Rutland.

HOPE For CoNsUM PTIvEs.- series Of
post-mortem examinations in an Edingburgh
hospital disclosed the fact that the lungs of
one-third of the patients who died after 40
years of age bore marks of tubercles whose
growth had been checked, and in many
cases the disease wholly cured. Parts of
the lungs had been destroyed, and the cav
tiles filled by contraction and adhesion OF
the walls. In some cases fibrous tissues had
completely enclosed the parts integrated by
disease Not only so in Edingburgh and
elsewhere, but new lungs grow, or parts of
lungs do, in animals. And if in animals,
why not in menl geo ge Reed, Esq, of
Benton, Maine, had two hogs which went
into consumption, as every decent hog
ought to when kept penned up in filthy
quarters. One died, and the other was ev-
identity just about following his example.
As an experiment the hog was presented
with his freedom. He started for thistle
patch, and began to root, feebly at first, but
soon with returning strength. There he
rooted and munched and grunted day after
day, and that hog recovered his health.
Mr. Reed could find nothing in the thistle
patch but thstles. He could make out moth
ing that the hog procured there but thistle
roots. That hog, fat and good, was killed
in the fall and from an old, half destroyed
lung had grown a new one. Z his Mr.. Reed
told me, and to it his wife testified. / have
since heard similar statements from other
truthful persons. The best way to bring
on consumption is to live much on pork,
poor bread made of fine -four, or everlasting
pie, buckwheat cakes and grease and pota-
toes. To work all the time, to wear in
sufficient clothes, especially over the vitals,
TO sleep in cold rooms, seldom aired, and
to sit in hot rooms, in close air. o, you
can do it in short time. Thousands are
doing it now. II never mind not having
air, said woman to me lately. II al
ways shut myself up close in my bedroom,
and cover up my head in bed There !

Household Suggestions.

To Stuff and Bake Fish Soak bread
fine, and mix the bread with spoonful of
drawn butter, little salt and pepper 1.-TWO
raw eggs make the dressing cut smoother),
and some spices if liked. Fill and sew up
the fish put in teacup of water in a bake
pan, and little butter; place in the fish
and bake about forty or fifty minutes
Bass, shad and fresh cod are good fish for
baking.
Veal Loaf.-Take three and one half
pounds of veal, fat and lean, one thick slice
of fat salt pork chop the whole raw take
six common crackers pounded fine, two
eggs, one-half cup of butter, one table
spoonful of pepper, a little Glove, and any
! herb to suit the taste. Mix all well togeth-
er, and make into loaf like bread put
into shallow baking pan with little
water, cover with bits of butter, and dredge
| flour over it ; bake slowly two hours, bast-
ing it as you would meat. This is nice cut
in thin slices for tea dish, and it will keep
good for some time.
Cream Pses.-One quart of milk, the
yolks of three eggs, two cups of sugar, two
spoonfuls of flour; boil this until it begins
to thcken. Make rich crust, put in the
cream, flavor with lemon, and bake in a
quick oven. Beat the whites of the eggs
stiff and frost. Put in the oven and color
little.
Orange Puddtng.-Six ornnges pared
and cut fine, strew over them one cup of
sugar, beat the yolks of six eggs with four
spoonfuls of corn starch, strain into one
quart of boiling milk, put the starch over
the oranges when hot. Beat the whites of
the eggs with two spoonfuis of sugar, and
pour them over the starch. Brown in the
cven To be eaten cold
Chocolate Catstard.-One quart of milk,
two eggs, two and half heaping table
spoonfuls of corn starch or maizena,, two
tablespoonful of grated chocolate, six table
spoonfuls of sugar Heat the milk almost
to boiling-same as for soft custard. Beat
the eggs, then add the corn starch and work |
it in till free from Jumps then add the
chocolate, then sugar, and wet the whole |
with cold milk-take sufficient milk besides |
the quart to have it thin enough to pour
then pour the whole into the hot milk and
stir ugtil about as thick as, soft custard |
Let it cool little and pour int glasses
Vine Jelly-To one paper Cox's gela-
tine add one pint of cold water, the juice
and grated rind of two lemons, one pound
ed nutmeg and two or three sticks of Gin
namon. Allow this to stand one hour,
then add one quart of boiling water, one
pint of wine-Sherry is much the best-one
wineglass of brandy, two pounds of white
sugar. When all is dissolved strain through
a flannel jelly bag. s

ANALYSIS OF SEVEN POPULAR FERTILIZERS
LABORATORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
VERMONT AND STATE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE, May 2, 1881.
With the purpose of finding out what
the farmers of this State are putting on their
land, the Chemist of the University and
State Agricultural College has analysed some
of the most generally used fertilizers. The
results of the analysis are given below.
The work has been done without the
knowledge of the manufacturers or dealers.
The samples for analysis were purchased
by farmers in different parts OF the state,
and by them sent to the laboratory The
samples analysed were of the following
brands: Bradley's XII. Superphosphate,
Soluble Pacific Guano, st Johnsbury Bone
Meal, Darling's Animal Fertilizer, Stock
bridge Corn and stockbridge Potato Ferti-
lizers, and besides these, analyses were
made by Mr.. II. L. Van Nostrand, a stu
dent in the University, of the Stockbridge.
Onion Fertilizer and Bowkers Hill and
Drill Fertilizer. The latter analyses are
believed by the Professor of Chemistry to
be accurate and are included in the report.

He nc once informed her that 1t was impossible

eceiyed this terrible intelligence quietly, de-
olined TO take ether, stpulating merely to hold
her husbands hand during the operation, and
underwent the painful process without NOV

then gave "Favorite Remedy" freely to cleanse

Theology for Children.


What shall we teach our children to be.
| lieve in order that, when they grow up,
they may find that later experience shall
not alter what they have learned when they
were youngl We must teach them that
beyond and above what they see and feel
and touch there is something greater and
better which they cannot see or feel or
touch. Goodness, kindness, modesty, cour
age, unselfishness, these are the best things
in all the world. 1t is true that goodness
and courage have no faces that we can
kiss, have no hands that we can clasp, yet
they are certainly there in the midst of our
work and our play; and this goodness
which, except in outward acts, we cannot
see, is something which existed long before
we were born. 1t is from this that we
have all the pleasant things in this world.
The flowers, the sunshine, the moonlight
all these were given to us by some great
kindness and goodness which we have new
er seen at all; and this goodness which is
everywhere, is that great power out of
which all things come. And we call this
great power by the name of God; and be-
cause God is 50 much above us, and is so
good to us, we call him also by the name
which is the most dear to us and the most
above us of all the names on earth-we
call him our Father. When the father of
his children goes away from home, still his
children know that he is somewhere, though
they cannot see HIM; and they know what
they can do to please him. And so it is
with the great, unseen Father of us all.
Let us, then, teach our children that God
is goodness and love. Let us teach them
that the rules which he has laid down for
the government of this world are his will
and wish for us. Even the frost and cold,
even sickness and pain, are for our good;
and we must trust that he who has sent
them to us has some good reason TO make
US strong and healthy and brave. Thus
you will see in Westminster Abbey, on the
monument of Sir John Franklin, who was
10 long shut up in the ice, the words, 80,
ye frost and cold, o We ice and snow, bless
re theSLord, and magnify his name forev-
r." This is one way of expressing our
belief in our Father in heaven, but this
lighness, goodness and kindness is like
what we have seen and heard of in the
Unrla

A sure preventative of sheep barking
fruit trees, is given by Tribune CORE

suds; dissolve pound of whale oil soap in
every SIX gallons, and into this stir sheep
manure until it is as thick as good white
wash, with brush, or stub of broom and
with this mixture wash the trees as high
as the sheep can reach, and no sheep will
come near enough to rub against them for
at least six months, the time depending on
the amount of rain. We keep the mixture
handy and repeat the application as often
