& Good Thing to Have.

The New York Trtbune is an advocate
of incubators. This can be seen by q
glance at the following.tale narrated by
the serious man of that journal: 1--WE
once knew an honest old farmer in
Orange County who happened to be on
the top of his barn one day with an in
cubators which he had purchased the
week before. What he was doing with
it there we never heard-perhaps he
took it up there to store it. At all
events, happening to look over the edge
of the barn. he saw fox creeping slyly
towards some chickens. Whereupon he
promptly hurled the Incubator at the
thief, and his aim being good the fox
was laid out cold. The farmer said af-
terward that he considered the ineuba-
tor worth twice what it cost him, and
that he would never be without one, on
top of his barn, in the future"

The abuse of language is very plainly
seen III the use of the word professor.
Once applied only to- those who taught
in higher institution of learning, it is
now assumed by teachers who are en-
pioyed in schools and serninaries below
college grade. 1t is the custom in many
towns to speak not only of the Principal
of the High School as Professor, but al
so thus to dub the head of the Grammar
School.
But the word suffers an abuse much
more serious than this. In London a
few years ago was displayed sign, the
Professor of Shirt Making. A New
England barber circulated hand-bills
through the village in which his simple
shop was situated, describing himself as
Professor of the tonsorial art.
A Maine paper recently, in para
graph concerning skiliful coachman,
placed before his name the abbreyiation
of prof.
Such uses of an honorable term are
18th ridiculous and shameful Ameri-
cans are too free in tie use of titles.
The meaning of the word professor
should be restricted TO. those who teach
in u college or in an institution Of as high
"a grade.
At Harvard no one Is called professor
unless he has been chosen to a regular
Professorship. 70 call a tutor by this
8 title, or for Linn to allow himself to be so
called, would be considered mark of
iEdecorunl Al Harvard tutor who had
been addressed bva scholar as Professor
E, replied. No. that is incorrect
You can indulge yourself in the use of
any ordinary and modest titles, but do
not professor me-

one tablespoon of salt, quarter of tea

ing and then the boiling milk. Rub all
through a coarse sieve and serve at
once, as it spoils if allowed to stand
Boiled Leg of Mutton.-Allow twenty
minutes to the pound and put on in boil
ing water, to which a teaspoonful of salt
to the quart has been added. It is
whittier and more delicate boiled in a
cloth, but does not require it. Fast boil
ing hardens the meat 1t should merely
simmer till done, and if to be eaten cold
is better cooled in the water. as this
makes it more juicy. Strain the broth
into the stock jar.
Caper Sauce.-Melt in saucepan
piece of butter the size of an egg and
add two even tablespoonfuls of sifted
flour. Stir steadily till smooth and add
slowly one pint of milk or milk and wa
.ter, or water alone, the milk being most
delicate and making what is called q
cream roaG. Add two tablespoonful of
capers, and the juice of half a lemon is
also nice, and speek of cayenne pep
per may be used.
Potato Puffs.-Boil and mash the
potatoes by rule already given, and
while hot make into balls the size of a
large egg. Butter a tin sheet, brush
over the balls with yolk of an egg and
brown them quickly in hot oven, which
will take from five to ten minutes. Slip
them from the tin with knife to q hot
platter and serve at once.
Stewed TurnipS.-If new they will
cook in fifteen minutes; If old not less
than an hour will be needed. Peel and
slice or cut in quarters. Put on in boil
ing sailed water, cook till tender. Then
pour off this water and add one cup of
milk and water, equal parts of each.
Blend a tablespoonful Of butter and one
of flour smoothly; add saltspoonful of
pepper and two of salt, simmer all to-
gether ten or fifteen minutes and serve
in a deep dish.
Tea.-No matter what variety may be
used, there are certain rules absolutely
essential for all. To begin with, never
use tin teapot If an earthen one is OBJ
tainable An even teaspoonful of dry
tea Is the tisadi iiosdfAeS iot d person.
Scald the teapot with little boiling wa
