w TY OF THE OMAHA SHOPS AT
AUCTION-I will sell al auction on the
grounds, on Saturday, May 81, beginning
sharp at Q o'clock p. m, 80 lots fronting on
Fort street and streets edjoining, (the same
being portion OF the Be- ton estate) and with
in SIX blocks of the workshops of the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad com.
pany, which furnishes permanent employ
ment to very large number of mechanics and
laborers. This property is only few blocks
from the proposed site of the new school build
ing, and on the line of the proposed extension
of the street railway. The land lies high and
is covered with beautiful shade trees, whilst
pure spring water is to be found near by.
The fact that Fort street has been ordered
maoadamized, with a large appropriation from
the late legislature to carry on the work to the
city limits, while an extra appropriation has
been made to extend the same to Fort Smelling
bridge, is ample evidence that the street has
become great commercial thoroughfare, and
purchasers will find these lots steadily increase
in value as the work progresses. Plsts Of
the property can be seen at my office, No. AZ
East Third street. Terms very liberal. Con.
veyances will be in readiness to carry bidders
to the grounds, and will start from the Mer.

PEACH CHEEsE.-Take "A number Of
green peaches, rub them carefully in a
cloth to remove all dust Put them in
TO a stewpan with a small quantity Of
water-abuut half pint TO a pound Of
fruit (for large quantities a smaller pro-
portion Of water might be used). When
the peaches are perfectly soft rub them
through fine sieve with wooden spoon
laying aside some of the stones, which
should be broken, and there kernels ad-
ded to the peach pulp. Weigh the pulp,
stir it over the fire until quite hoS. add
half its weight IN sugar, some lemon
juice and little grated peel stir the
whole on the fire until thick and then
put into shapes. 1t should be quite hard
when cold, and turn out easily. If the
pulp be very watery boil for twenty min
utes before adding the sugar. This pre-
serve will keep for a long time if sufi-
ciently cooked. This recipe was used
with good sncceSs in South America,
and no doubt would serve for peaches in
all stages of ripeness, but only perfectly
sound fruit should be used. 1t is not
necessary To peal the peaches.

The HEDGEHOG'S MODE OF DE-
FENsE.-The hedgehog is one of the
best protected of living animals. 1T
marches securely under the guardian
ship Of its thOrny-spiked armOr, it recks
little of any foe, save man. The formid-
able array of bristling spines with which
the back is more or less covered offers a
cheUGl-de-friSe Of sharp spikes to any all
imal that may offer itself as an enemy.
Another popularity is the power posses
sed by these creatures of rolling them
selves into a round ball, by placing the
head upon the breast. drawing up the
legs, and curling the body firmly around
the members. By this posture the hogs
render themselves invulneTable to almost
any animal that may try to attack them.
Wnen in this curious attitude, he can
not be unrOlled by main force as long as
life remains in the body, for there is an
enormously developed muscle, with a
very thick margin, which spreads over
the back and round the sides, and which
when contracted, holds the creature in
so firm an embrace that it will be torn
in pieces rather than yield its pOint''
The spines of this animal are about an
inch long, and naturally lie fat on the
back, directed towards the tail. But by
a peculiar arrangement they are erected
when the owner coils himself. In shape
the spine is mot unlike large pin, be-
ing sharply pointed at one extremity.
and furnished at the other with a round,
bedd-like head and rather abruptly bent
near the head. If the skin be removed
moved from the hedgehog. the quilts are
seen to be pinned, as it were, through
the skin, being retained by their round
heads, which are acted upon by the Pc
culiar muscle which has already been
mentioned" :"
Protected by this defense the hedge
hog is enabled to throw itself from con-
siderable heights, to curl itself into a
ball as it descends, and to reach the
ground without being hurt by the fall.
