Making Pickles.

Cucumber Manges.-The way is to
select the largest sized picking GU
cumbers and put them int a strong
brine for two weeks; then take them out,
drain we'll, and heat the brine to boil
ing point. Pour it over the pickle i'm
mediately, and let them stand until the
next day. Repeat this process nine
times and after they are cold the last
time throw them into pump water and
let them remain eight hours. Drain them
well, and dry each one upon coarse
towel, then with sharp knife make
slit in the side and remove the seeds.
Make each one perfectly dry and fill with
the following mixture: To three dozen
cucumbers take six large onions, chop
them very fine, and add hall an ounce
celery seed, one ounce turmeric, one
pound white mustard seed, ounce pow
dered nutmeg, half q pound of grated
horse radish and quarter of q pound
of ground mustard. Mix all into paste
with cup of salad oil. Tie string
around each pickle in order to keep the
filling in, and pack them down IN stone
jar. Take as much vinegar as will be
necessary to cover them, and let 1T boil
up once with handful of cloves, head
OF garlic anu LeaSpOOul vi VI sugar.
Pour this over the pickles while it is hot,
and tie the jar closely. Do not open for
five or six weeks and they will be ready
for use.
Peach Mangoes.- one peck of
large Morris white peaches or large,
firm yellow freestone peaches and cover
them with brine for twenty-four hours.
Take them out and remove the seed by
making slit in the side and partially
opening the peach, then throw them
back into the brine and let them remain
another twenty -four hours. Drain them,
wipe dry inside and outside, and fill
them with the following mixture: One
pint of chopped onions, u teaspoonful of
chopped green ginger, half an ounce OF
celery seed, one ounce of white mustard
seed, half an ounce of tumeric, and one
ounce OF black mustard seed. Tie
string around each peach, pack them in
stone jar, and cover them with cold
vinegar, adding a teaspoonful of oil, a
head of garlic, and teaspoonful of
sugar. Ready for use in three weeks.

The Microscope as a Detective.

In Germany, it was discovered, some
years ago, by the authorities of rail-
way that barrel, which, on being dis
patched from certain station, contained
silver coin, had, during its journey to
its destination, been emptied Of its con-
tents and filed with sand. For some
time no clue to the perpetrator of the
robbery could be discovered; but finally
a learned professor having been consult
ed on the subject, called in the aid of
the microscope. The professor went to
work on the track at once. He, knowing
that, even though in the minutest de-
gree. there was a distinctive difference
in the sand found near the various sta
tons along the railway line, sent for
samples of it from each of the places
through which the train containing the
silver passed. With the microscope he
carefully examined each sample, COM
pared it with the sand found in the bar
rel, and thus identified the station from
which the latter had been secured. Hav-
ing, in this ingenious manner, found out
the station he wanted, little difficulty re-
NAMED; for the railway servants en-
ployed at it, by one of whom the rob;
berry had been committed, were so few
in number that the cnlprit was readily
detected. In this ingenious manner the
thief was found.

were They we'll Treated !

The Philadelphia Press praises the
manner in which the reception of the
Jewish refugees in this country has been
conducted, and the liberal spirit shown
when the calls were made for assistance.
The Press has paid little attention to the
subject, or it would be better informed.
Instead of good management being con-
spicuous feature in the Hebrew Refugee
Society's government, the contrary has
been the case. There was little or no
preparation made for the incoming peo-
pie until the society was compelled by
severe press criticism to do something.
''They have been received warmly" says
the Press; "they have been fed, clothed
and as far as posi- BILE given employment.
About 200 of them, utterly destitute,
were recently landed in Milwaukee, and
fully 800 were the other day put upon
the streets of Cincinnati in the same con-
dition. From time to time we have read
of riots at the doors of the societies
created to take care of these refugees,
and the rioters were actuated by nothing
more than Q desire to obtain bread.
These facts certainly show anything but
good government. As to the hberality
shown by the Hebrews to contribute to
the fund for the relief of the unfortunate
people of their race, there 10 some dis.

Honesty In Building

Honesty is, perhaps, more abused than
that of any other ethical or intellectual
virtue. It is applied as cloak of ig-
norance, as the apology for bad man.
ners, or even for worse purposes. The
man who, without regard to time, place
or company, gratifies his vanity by
hurting out his crude notions on any
subject, is too often called an honest
fellow. In fact, he is so ill.bred and so
ignorant as to be supposed incapable of
deceit. They may be so, or not. We
have known cases-and no doubt some
will occur to the memories of most of
our readers--in which a man may be
held to have purposely adopted the dis
guise of incivility, have lived for years
under the title Of "Honest Tom Speak
FORTH" and at length, generally too late
for human retribution, have discov-
cred to have left behind him
only an unexplained deficit, or
sometimes an equally unexplained
family of children. The honesty which
causes this kind of plying or even of
affectionate regard is simply that, so far
as it exists at all, of not telling lies, or
rather of not putting matters in such a
light as may be most agreeable to the
sympathies of others. This kind of hon.
esty is sometimes applied to building. A
man will declaim against the importance
of stucco. and will give you hideous
brick work il place of it. Honest
brick and mortar" he calls it. But he
omits to mention two points. One, that
the imperfections of English stucco are
mainly due to the very rude and imper-
feet way in which we treat our lime.
Those who are most familiar with the
use made of this material in Italy, from
scagliola work to the preparation fol-
fresco painting, will be aware that this
is the case. Secondly, while there is a
real beauty in brick work, it requires SO
much care in the selection Of clay, and
in the making. burning and laying of
bricks to insure it, that noble brick work
is almost lost art in England. Our
honest friend, therefore, only gives the
cheapest and meanest material that comes
to hand, and excuses that slovenliness of
his work by calling it "honest. 1.-THE

Holiday CruIziHg.

Ten or fifteen people, or even twenty,

could be fitted up for the women of the

crew would remain a fixed quantity

would not be advisable to have q
vessel of more than 125 tons, on account
of difficulty in entering small harbors.
You would have to engage your own
cook and steward. In trip of this
character good deal as to route must
be left to the captain. People intent on
pleasure often overlook the great re-
sponsibility captain has to bear. It
may be very fine in port and it might be
foggy and squally outside, and your
captain always knows better than you
do how to sail his craft. Propitious
weather, it may be remarked, is usually
continuous from the first to the 18th OF

Partisan Style In Servsnts.

The other day IN conversation Win q
leading businss man OF this city the sub
iect OF dishonest servants came up. "Do
you know" he asked, ''how it is that
some of the servant girls are able to dress
as we'll, or even better than their mis-
tresses?" A negative reply having been
given, the gentleman proceeded as fol-
lows:
81 do not care how we'll people dress,
whatever their station in life, provided
they can afford it; but how my cook, re-
ceiving only 50 so per week, could
manage to have nearly as fine an assort-
mont of dresses as my wife, with jew
elry, etc., to correspond, was puzzle
until one time we changed cooks, and
the new one revealed to my wife the
ecret. She had been sent out to q certain
grocery to do some marketing, and
while gone was accosted by another
grocer, and offered by min silk dress

honest, she came straight home and told
of it. This set my wife to thinking, and
she asked the girl if that
