Egg Bread.-One pint milk, two
eggs, butter size Of an egg, one-half cur
sugar, three teaspoons OF sssea foam. T"
flour enough to make batter; bake.
This makes one loaf.
Veal Scollops. veal from the
leg or other lean part into pieces size Of
oysters. Have seasoning of pepper,
salt, little mace, mixed; rub some ovel
each piece; dip in egg, then in cracker
crumbs, fry as oysters.
-Spiced Fish.-Cold fresh fish NAV
be used in this way. Remove all bones,
bits of skin; lay in deep dish, barely cover
with hot vinegar, in which few cloves
and all-spice have been boiled. Ready
Tor use as soon as cold.
Lamp shades are fashionable and
useful. First get the shape, which should
be cut and re-cut in paper until it fits the
glass. Then you may trace comic de-
signs on silk musin, or you may paint on
satin, with fringe for border, or you may
arrange ferns or dried flowers on silk
with thin gum arabic. This latter work
is pretty and novel.
Scrambled eggs. Have spider hot
and buttered; break the eggs into dish,
being careful not to break the yelks;
slip them into the spider, add very Lit.

for half dozen eggs, or three table.
spoonfuls of rich cream. When the
eggs begin to whiten, stir carefully from
the bottom, until cooked to suit.
"A pudding, which we call sKate's
Brown Bette" is for a simple and easily
made dish eminently successful. Put
alternate layers of grated bread crumbs
or chopped apples in pudding dish,
season each layer with sugar, cinnamon,
a little lump of butter. For q dish hold
ing a quart and a half you need two tea
cupfuls of hot water. Bake an hour and
half. Have the top brown; serve with
plenty Of sweet cream.
Professor A. j. Cook gave results of
experiments showing the value of car
bohc acid as remedy against insects;
he also inferred that the electric light
promises much in this direction. The
corn worm (Heiothis armigera) was de-
scribed, and its great and exceptional
raid in the Northern States referred to
during the past year. The remedies rec.
commended were fall blowing, trapping
by use of sweet liquids, and attracting
and burning with bright lights.
Pigs are often lost for want of proper
attention. A sow that farrows in lot
with drove Of other hogs is almost sure
to lose her offspring before day old,
especially if the weather is cold and many
gather to bed in one place. When SOW
saves only one or two pigs it is often
better to take them away, as it does NOT
pay to suffer her to nurse SO small litter.
The mother should be fed literally on
slops and grain when her pigs are young,
as it is all-important that their growth
should be pushed forward.

There are eight degrees or steps, say.
Maimonides, in the duty of charity.
The first and lowest degree is to give,
but with reluctance or regret. This il
the gift of the hand but not of the heart,
The second is to give cheerfully, but
not proportionately to the distress of the
sufferer.
The third is to give cheerfully and pro.
portionately, but not until we are solic-
tied.
z The fourth is to give cheerfully, pro-
portionately and even unsolicited; but to
put it in the poor mans hand; thereby
exciting in him the painful emotion Of
shame. ssza ea
The fifth is to give charity in such a
way that the distressed may receive the
bounty and know their benefactor with
out their being known to him. Such
was the conduct of some of our ancestors,
who used to tie up money in the hind
corners OF their cloaks, SO that the poor
might take it unperceived.
The sixth, which rises still higher. is
to know the objects of our bounty, but
remain unknown to them. Such was
the conduct of those of our ancestors
who used to convey their charitable gifts
into poor peoples dwellings, taking care
that their own persons and names should
remain unknown.
The seventh is still more meritorious.
namely, to bestow charity in such way
that the benefactor may not know the
relieved objects, nor they the name of
their benefactor; as was done by our
charitable forefathers during the exist
ence of the temple. For there was in
that holy building a place called the
Chamber OF Silence or Inostentation.
wherein the good deposited secretly
whatever their generous hearts suggest
ed, and from which the most respectable
poor families were maintained with equal
secrecy.
Lastly the eighth and the most mer.
ltorious OF all is to anticipate charity, BY
preventing poverty; namely, to assist the
brother either by . considerable
gift or loan of money, or by teaching
him trade, or by putting him in the
way Of business, so that he NAV earn an
honest livelihood, and not be forced to
The dreadful alternative of holding ND
his hand for charity. And to this Scrip
lure alludes, when it says: g And if thy
brother be waxen poor and fallen in de-
cay with thee, then thou shalt support
him; yea, though he be stranger or q
,ojourner; that he may live with thee,

Gold Mining i'm Georgia.

At what is KIN own as the "old
franklin" mine, in Cherokee coun-
ty, Immediately on the Etowah
river, extensive preparations are
being made to gather the precious
metal by the rich Philadelphia COM
pany which purchased this mine a
few months ago. A three hundred
stamp mills now in process of cree
ton, and will be run by the i'm
mense water power furnished by
the Etowah at that place. This
will be one of the largest gold mills
in the world.
A dredge boat to cost $50, 900 is al
so being built by this same COM
pany, and will be used to lift from
the bottom of the river, the rich
gold bearing sands. One of the
richest veins ever discovered on
this property lead under the river,
and was mined to the rivers edge
during the lifetime of Mrs. Frank
lin by her negro slaves, but as they
were not skilled in tunneling under
a stream, that vein was abandoned.
The new company, however, has
secured a strong force of old miners,
and propose to follow this vein by
tunneling under the Etowah.

4 Young Man and Young woman
Oddly United.
Montana Inter-ocean.

A few days ago promising young
merchant of San Francisco, by a
happy coincidence met a lady on
the train who was going a few miles
down tine road to see her mother.
Being slightly acquainted they be-
came engaged in conversation, and
soon afierward fell into biissful
Stun Der, the ladyOn one seat and
the gentleman on the other. On
the train was q Sheriff, who hap
pened to have with him a pair of
handouts, and the conductor Of the
train being we'll acquainted with the
travellers above mentioned pro
posed to the officer to play a prtc1i-
cal Joke on the innocent slumbererS.
Assent was given and the conGuc-
tor, taking the handouts, cautious
ly approached the unconscious pair
and attached their G5tleSs arms by
the official ieweily. He then raised
Il racket, aud the sleepers awoke
with a start, only to find that in
their sleeping innocence they hal
been Joined together, and no man
without a key could part them as
sunder.
1ney all joined merrlly IN the
laugh, and though the gentleman
calamity avOwed his captivity Il
most pleasant one, the lady had al
most arrived at her destination and
asked for Il separation. Then and
there the trouble arose. The Sheriff
had lost the key, and the situation
which had been regarded as right
merry conceived lest grew embar-
assing in the extreme. The key
could not be found, and at the next
station the conductor was obliged
to procure a file and go through the
tedious process of filing the wristlets
so that the travellers could proceed
ON their separate ways rejoicing.
The conductor states that the next
time he plays a practical joke he
will vigorously. avoid the gentle
handcuff.

The wheat crop.
NashVille Banner.


From the present indications the
next wheat crop was never more
tiattering than it is now.
These fine prospects are due to the
fact that the seed was well put in,
and then the winter has been favor
able for its rapid growth. AT no
time in the past has the plant been
known to be so far advanced as at
this time. In certain sections OF
the country the plant has COM
menced jointing. it is true that
many contingencies blast the bright
prospects, but should no accident
Intervene the harvest will be larger
than for many years past. The
acreage for this year both in this
State and Kentucky far eXcels that
of last year, and should nothing
arise to blight the now hattering
indications the yield will be large
and the proceeds will go far towards
repairing the financial distress
caused by the almost entire failure
of the corn and partial failure Of the
cotton crop in this State.
These fine prospects are not con-
fined alone TO the wheat States south
of the Ohio River, but the same can
be said Of the entire winter wheat
belt north and west. The crops
look better throughout the entire
country, and the acreage is by far
larger than il las been for some
years past. The knowing ones
think that all danger of injury by
frost is past, and that the yield will

has been for many seasons in the
past. Dealers here think that wheat
can be bought at harvest time for
less than 81 per bushel This, how
ever, is mere speculation, as wheat
something that generally demands
a good price, and it has been long
time since it sold in this market for
less than 81.
In Nebraska and, in fact, in other
States comprising what is known as
the spring wheat. belt, seeding has
already commenced. This is the
first season in the history of the
country that it has been possible to
blow and seed in these States at so
early a date as the 10th inst, the
time at which seeding was COM
menced. OF course so early start,
with favorable weather, will enable
that section to put in larger acre
age than ever before, and with a
good yield, the exports another year
will resume the usual volume, and
give work to the transportation
lines, both of rail and water, thereby
adding materially to the general
property Of the country.

lido dislike all tattlers, with their mean,
Deceitfnl ways, side looks and stubborn

1t matters little where they may be seen,
Their cruel, careless tongues are never

All that they find in truth, or love or trust,
They designate as ignOminious pelf;
Even chastity they drug into the dust
