Side Dishes.

A correspondent asks for recipes for
side dishes for a small family. One dish
is made of asparagus, cooked with Just
water enough to cover it and no more;
when done add milk or cream, butter,
pepper, and salt, serve it in saucers,
with a slice of toast in the bottom of
each Another side dish, very popular
with many people, is made of equal
quantities of canned corn and canned
tomatoes; mix them then together, let
them come to a boil, season with butter
pepper salt. and little sugar OF
course, this can be made of the fresh
vegetables, when you can get them.
Egg plant, stuffed with bread crumbs, q
very little salt pork, chopped fine, with
pepper, salt, parsley, and small onion
is an excellent side dish. This is to be
baked, and must be basted frequently
with melted butter and water; when
done make little gravy in the dripping
pan and pour over it. A little later in
the year, and in some localities even
now, il Is possible to serve this dish. and
take especial pleasure in recommends
ing it: Boil some new potatoes and
young beets in separate kettles, with
their jackets on; when done remove the
skins, cut the vegetables in slices, and
put them together in a dish; pour over
them u little cream. butter, pepper, and
salt When properly made, each slice
seems to have Its share of seasoning; and
with beefsteak or lamb it is as appetizing
dish as the summer has to offer

Wanted Room for his Nose.

Bill Palmer was a character. He be-
longed to company A, 9th Wisconsin,
but his great good nature, dry wit and
four-story nose rendered him q member
at-large of the whole regiment soon af-
ter it went South. Everybody liked
honest Bill Palmer, and the admiration
increased after the regiment had been in
a fight. for there were none more heroic
in battle than he. While the 9th was
encamped on Arlington Hlghts, opposite
Washington, the winter of 1862, orders
were SO strict that only few of the boys
could be out OF camp at time. Bill
had friend in & New York regiment
whom he was anxious to visit His
company's quota Of passes had been
taken, and of course he was refused.
The disappointment was too much to
bear. Going to his tent he buckled on
his accoutrements. took his gun at "a
right shoulder Shift and started. The
guard halted him. Il have no pass,
but am off on important business and
can't be triiled with" That was not
enough for the guard, whose orders
were strict. Well" said Bill, IF you
must know, | will tell you. They gave
us our Htllb uog-lGlilS lO-udY. upon
trial me and my chums found that there
would be room for usin the tent if about
eight inches of my nose was removed.
Now, you know am man of peace.
and don't want to make any trouble,
so am going over to Blenkers division
to get it amputated." The guard walk
ed to the other end of the beat and
turned around to see Palmer ten lods
away, making fast time for the New
York regiment.
General Mcclellan and his staff were
passing the 9th one day when Bill rush
ed out Of the ranks and up to one of the
staff officers and handed him 50. The
officer was amazed and wanted to
know why he had been stopped and
given that money. Its all right, Cap
tain, said Palmer. Years ago took
a solemn oath that the first man | met
who had more nose than have would
give S5-the money belongs to you"
The officer took it good naturedly, but
of course declined to keep the money.
Palmer went to the war from near
Baraboo, and in a company which lost
more in killed and wounded than six
whole regiments which could be named.
He is now thrifty farmer in Clark
county, and as popular in peace as he
was in war.

Saved at Last.

We had been roughing ii around for
a couple of months when we found our
selves one evening camped outside of
Monterey. Our finances were very low
There were only few dollars in the
whole crowd, and we felt rather blue
We had been for several days discuss
ING what was best TO be done. We know
little of the land guage of the country;
there was no work that suited US, or that
we were capable of doing and stages in
that country wouldn't pay the wear and
tear Of robbing them.
We were sitting around the campfire
in very respondent frame of mind
when McInnis came in from town
Hello, boys" he shouted, I've found
it-struck bonanza. We are well fixed
cheer up. We are all right now, and
don't YOU forget it,
"What is it?" we asked.
''You never mind,' he replied, '.you
follow me and I'll show YOU"
We fled after him into town He led
us through the main street, across the
piazza, and down into the poorest part
of the town. Stopping in front of a
small adobe store, he marched us all in.
Mclnnis stood looking from one to the
other rs if waiting for applause.
We could see no sign of the bonanza
and in chorus we impatiently demanded
that he should explain.
"How much money have we in the
crowd9o inquired McInnis.
Seven dollars and fifty cents, all
told replied our treasurer.
.'Well, didn't say we were all rich?
Yes, but we can't see how we can be
rich on seven dollars and fifty cents
You can't eh?'' said McInnis.
Cant you read?' and he pointed
proudly TO a card hanging above the
counter, on which was printed in legend:

most Unseemly Manner.
A man came into the Office on Thurs
day with a black eye, strip of court
plaster across his cheek, one arm in a
sling, and, as he leaned on a crutch and
wiped the Precipitation away from

red cotton handkerchief, he asked if the
editor was in. Being answered in the
affirmative, he said;
"Well, | want to stop my paper, and
he sat down on the edge of Il chair as

The Miracle OF Snow,

As we sit and work, or sit and dream, a
day comes on which stiffness falls. A
hush is ON the earth gray sky is over
spread above; an uneasiness is in the air
which is not wind. Go TO the window and
watch. A few heralds clad in white come
floating down, turning this way, turning
that way, like scouts seeking for paths and
camping places. Then of a sudden, the
thick dull sky is alive with trooping forms
The ways of the air are filed with the army
of the snow Their tread is not with sound,
but second by second they arrive, and alight,
and possess themselves of the hills and the
hollows. The fields grow silent and white
with their cleaning camp. Whole states
are changed in few hushed moments, and
no stone, no twig, no Granny, is forgotten.
Only the all-enclosing air could do II, and
the air has done it The signs of human
parting and property are blotted out in in
discriminate conquest as nature seizes again

The Sky in 1852.

If 1881 was pre-eminently the astrologers'
year owing to the great conjunction of Ju-
piter and Saturn, upon which so many
frightfut prophecies were based, 1882 will
be, in a similar sense, the astronomers year
on account of the transit of Venus. The
transit does not occur until December, but
the astronomers are already preparing for
their observations of it. In fact they be-
gan their preparations more than twenty
five years ago, so important is this event to
astronomical science. By the transit of
Venus is meant the passage of that planet
between the earth and the sun 80 that the
planet is seen against the disk of the sun
like black dot. 1t owes its Importance to
the fact that it furnishes, perhaps, the best
means Of measuring the distance between
the earth and the sun, and this distance is
the astronomers yard stick, without which
he cannot get along The more accurately
the suns distance is known the more correct
become other astronomical measurements.
Modern estimates of the distance have varied
between 95 100000 miles and 9l,000,000
miles. Since the transit of 1874 II has been
put at about 92, 100000 miles, but the as
tronomers think they are yet one or two
hundred thousand miles out of the way, and
this year they hope TO cut these limits OF
error down very much. The results they
achieve must stand for more than a century,
since there will not be another transit OF
| Venus until 200i.-Ne,o York Sun.
