HOME AND FARM,

1t is good plan to pour hot water
over liver before frying or broiling it;
it improves the taste and seems to make
it more wholesome also.
Honey Care.-One quart strained
honey. half pint soda, half pint melted
butter, one teaspoon sugar dissolved in
half cup warm water, half nutmeg and
teaspoon ginger. Mix these ingredients
and then work in flour to roll. Cut in
thin cakes and bake on buttered tins in
quick oven.
-Beetsteak and Oyster Pie.-Beat
the steak gently with a rolling pin, and
season with pepper and salt. Have
ready a deep dish lined with not too
rich a pastry. Put in the meat with
layers of oysters; then the oyster liquor
with a little mace, and teaspoon of
catsup; cover with top crust and bake.
Veal will do as well as beef.
.-Road-dust.-Collect few barrels
OF dry earth, road-dust, fine dry dirt in the
corntleh or potato patch, or anywhere
mat IS most convenient. This is Il
handy thing to have in the fall and
winter for sprinkling under the roosts
ana on the floor of the poultry-house.
1t absorbs ammonia, keeps down smells,
and keeps things ship-shape.
French Beefsteak.-Cut the steak
two-thirds of an inch thick from
a fillet of beef; dip into melted fresh
butter, lay on a heated gridiron and
broil over hot Goals. When nearly done
sprinkle with pepper and salt. Have
ready some parsley, chopped fine and
mixed with softened butter. Beat them
together to cream, and pour into the
middle of the dish. Dip each steak
into the butter, turning them over, and
lay them round Oh the platter. If you
desire, squeeze a few drops of lemon
over, and serve very hot.
An orchard requires chiefly mineral
manures. Lime is the most useful. as
this supplies this needed clement, and
also causes the soil to give up potash.
Lime and potash are the principal con-
stituents Of the wood, and the soil will
easily supply the rest if 4 crop of clover

The Study OF Botany.

The study of botany is not general
pursuit. There are many who could
not tell an akcnc from 4 siliclc to save
their lives, but only ask them if they
ever saw bcggar'S hci, and they will
glow with that true enthusiasm born of
unsuccessful scientific research, orthcre
is at least one page of botany with
which every one is familiar-thc family
of the burrs, the cookies, and the tick
seed. You are always running against
them in your rambles. They are the
Migrants and the vagabonds of the veg
ctable world, the vegetable tramps of
the highways.
Sol.e of them, like the armed burr
marigolds. are bold and daring, and lab
You with their spears in true highway
man fashion; others, rs the agrimony
and enchanter's nightshade, are sly and
cautious, hiding in inconspicuous places,
and eluding your detection until discov-
cred against the background of your
garments. But they are all our very
constant companions in the country.
An interesting chapter might be writ
ten, and afford ample opportunity for
decoration, on the theme of mature rs
a Sower." We have here seen Il class
of plants whose only means of dissent
nation is through the medium of alien
transportation, of which design their
conformation gives perfect evidence.
Others shake their seeds upon the run
ming streams, or hurl them in the cur
rent with n jerk, to be washed along and
lodged upon the shingly sand-bars. The
germs of many of our fruits and berries
look to the birds for their future oppor-
tunities of growth, while nuts find an
abundant means of distribution in the
joint propensities of boys and squirrels
Others, like the samaraS of the tulip
tree and elm, are launched from tie
tree-tops, and flutter with q will to the
furthest limit of their strength; while
many more, ethereal and spirit-like, as
in the thistle and the lire-weed, are pro-
vided with wings as light rs air; they
are at home upon the breeze, and the
whole earth is their kingdom.
To the latter class belongs that en-
bodiment of grace, our roadside clemat-
is-thc queen of all our native climbers,
trailing over walls and fences, throwing
its embroidered canopy over the I'M
slightly stubble, covering the ungainly
branch with waving sprays of borrowed
verdure, and swinging its dropping
arabesques in most charming abandon
along the borders of every pond or run
ming brook.-lT. III. Gibson, IN HHy2Cr'S

Our Cannibal Ancestors.

Carl Vogt has been startling the sci
entiic world by statement he has
made respecting the ancestors of the
human race. He declares that, in the
progress from savage to civilized life, all
the leading members of the human
family were at one time, and necessarily,
cannibals. In the fossil remains found
in caves or preserved in marshes, are
discovered human bones split by some
instrument, often scorched by fire and
on the softer ends of the bones indica-
tons of teeth. If instruments were
used, it must be by tool-using animal.
The marks of fire show that it was after
man made some progress in the control
of the elements. The splitting of the
bone was to get at the marrow. Indeed,
Vogt goes so far as to say that the relig-
ious observance in which the names
blood and body are used in the sacra-
ment, was not originally symbolical at
all, but real, and that the progress of
civilization refined, sanctifed and SYM
bolized what was in its origin barbar-
ous rite. Of course all this horriies the
religious world, and attempts ere max
ing, which no doubt will be successful,
to confute the audacious and irreverent

The SchOolmaster.

The curiosity that ! have 10 show

most wonderful in the collection. He
beats all.
The schoolma,ter it is said, trains
the young idea how 10 shoot. He is
not himself given TO shooting, however.
lie takes more delight in the rod than
the gun.
The schoolmasler is not military
man. but his principal assistant is.
The name of this assistant is Corporal
Punishment. 1t is to be hoped that the
corporal will soon be remanded TO pri-
vate life
The schoolmaSter is sometimes called
tutor, and occasionally he is called
an ass. On the whole, an astutOr man
is seldom found.
The schoolmaster thoroughly under
stands the rule of three. but always
insists upon the rule of one. So you
see his understanding is out of all pro-
portion to MS rule.
Although the schoolmaster is a ruler
of boys. he has his own ruler. If he
be no stick himself, his ruler always is.
The schoolmaster is a very inqulsi-
tive person. He is always asking
questions. His is a questionable call
ing.
The schoolmaster can be found in all
classes. He is also given to classifying
knowledge. l sometimes think l would
be in his classify could.
The schoOlmaster is good at figures.
He would cut 4 pretty figure if he were
not. He is the tigure-head of the
school, or should be; but sometimes q
boy gets ahead of him.
He is also good at spelling. He can
stand long spell in a good situation
without ilinching.
He is always correcting the errors OF
his pupils. and consequently has but
little time to attend to his own.
The schoolmaster is not man OF
war, but he often employs a monitor.
He would be all at sea without his mon
itor. He gets the monitor to see in his
place.
o shun misbehaving. children, or the
see of the monitor shall overwhelm you.
The schoolmaster teaches the A u
c, but he cannot make bee see.
Every sort of oloey is taught by the
schoolmaster, but tautology is no better
coming from him than from anybody
else.
In school of young rascals the
schoolmaster is always the principal.
Some schoolmastcrs are actuated en-
tirely by the law of love-love for theil
situations. Some entirely by hate
hate to give them up.
The schoolmaster loves to have call
ers at his school; but habit has so pos
sessed him. that he not only collars his
scholars, but also scholars his callers.

AT Il recent banquest given in Bcr-
lin to Schliemann, the Trojan explorer,
he corrected some errors concerning
his life that have been going the rounds
of the newspapers. His father was q
preacher in small German village, and
although he understood no Greek, was
an enthusiastic admirer of Homer,
whom he read in an excellent transla-
ton by a popular German poet. Al
most every evening the old preacher
read or acclaimed passages from the
Had or the Odyssey, while his impress
sible son listened with delight and emo
ton. Often, says Schliemann. when
affecting passages, such Us Hector
farewell to Andromachc. were read,
both father and son gave way to their
feelings, and mingled their tears. The
impressions thus received were never
lost by the boy, and during the years
that he was subsequently forced to give
to mercantile business the ardent de-
sire to know more of the great Grccian
poet never crew weak. When. in his
thirty-fourth year, he found himself the
owner of sufficient fortune, he began
to study Greek. and within u few
months was able to read Homer in the
original.

What a Cheap Cigar VIII Do.

The moral influence of a cigar is
greater than that of the finest speech de-
ivered since the days of the Roman Re-
public. No man should set out on
journey without providing himself with
at least fifty cheap cigars. Those which
can be bought for two cents each are
just as good as those sold for dime, and
the gift of one is rewarded with just the
same courtesy. You are in hurry to
change trains and recheck baggage. The
checkman doesn't care two cents whether
you are left or not, and the chances are
that you would be left butfor the cigar.
Edge up to him, drop the cigar into his
fingers and ask him to recheck you to In
dianapolis and you are fixed in six Sec
onds Hours later, when he come to sit
down for a smoke, he may remember
your phiz and bless it, but you are far
away.
The brakeman on passenger train
studies grufness. You can't offer him
money nor ask him out to take q glass of
beer, but if you want to know exactly
how long you have to wait at Hanover
Junction, and how long it takes you to
run from there to Washington, just ten
der him a two-cent cigar. His granite
countenance Will instantly melt and run
all over his face, and he will feel himself
bound to not only to answer all inquiries,
but to tell you how to save two shillings
in getting your supper at Quantice.
Ticket agents in depots have stero-
typed set OF answers, and it almost breaks
their necks to have a man come along
and ask something new. The cigar
dodge works beautifully on them. APP
proach them with q smile, extend the
weed, and observe:
"Say, old fellow, when do I leave
here to make close connection with the
Erie at Elmira 2"
! Out comes his timetables and railway
| gui lie, and he'll not only fix you to a
second, but give you the population of
every station on the road. A two-cent
cigar viii stop any citizen of any city
and make him feel happy to answer a
dozen questions. 1t will direct you to
the best hotel, point out the best sights,
make street car conductors talk, give you
the best seat in the omnibus, and accom-
plish all that gold or silver could do No
man should travel without them, and to-
baccOnist should make two brands es-
pecially for travellers. One brand should
contain old rope, rags and scraps of
leather and be sold for cent This
/ brand would be for officials who are really
good at heart, and whose sudden removal
from earth would bring sorrow to large
families. The other brand should have
torpedo in the center, warranted to
blow out six teeth and drive the end of
the nose up at an angle OF forty-fve de-
grees. These could probably be sold
for a cent and half apiece, and would
be given out wherever it was deemed
necessary to teach an official that civ;lity
towards travellers benefits a road far
more than the busting of three trunks.
