"A good way to test the purity of
silk is to burn a sam ole. If it burns up
quickly, and flares and blazus, it is part-
ly cotton. If it burns slowly and makes
an ash it is silk.
To make oyster stuffing for roast
turkey take enough stale bread to fill
the turkey, CRATE and season it well
with butter, salt and pepper and a little
savory; moisten a little with the oyster
liquor, and add as many oysters as de-

1.-THE question is often asked"
says an Iowa farmer, "how long orchard
grass will remain in the soil. In q re-
cent visit to one of my faLher's old
farms 1 found it growing in the orchard
where it has grown continually for
twenty-siX years, without resolving
this in latitude 40 1-2. The more see
of this grass the better like it."
-Quinces baked with the skins on
are delicious when served warm; put
one on a saucer at each plate Ii
mashed with a knife, the core is easily
removed; then put on a little butter and
plenty of sugar. In the process of bak-
ing, the ounce loses the strong taste
which is disagreeable to many, and re-
tains delicate flavor that is excellent.

Buyers Of merino sheep are warned
against being ''takcn in'' by a device
practiced by certain Vermont dealers,
who use lamp back and oil on inferior
animals to give them the requisite color
and "genuineness." These i'doctored"
sheep are kept housed and blanketed to

carried out of the State by brokers or
jockeys to be sold wherever they CON
find market for them.
Pork from hogs killed in early win
ter NAV be preserved fresh for cooking
the following spring and summer by first
putting it in brine for eight or ten days,
OF sufficiently salted to be palatable
Then cut it into slices as for the table;
fry it about half as much as for eating
and then pack in jars, pouring the melt
ed grease over it. Properly cover and
set away in a cool place, as lard is kept.
When warm weather comes, and fresh
meats are desirable, take out the slices
as needed, and finish frying them. They
will be found to be as fresh and as good
to eat as pork can be, the lard having
kept them sweet and pure.
Rice and Apple Pudding: Boil two
heaping tablespoonfuls of best rice, with
a little salt, in half a pint of new milk.
When quite soft, add the beaten yelks
of two eggs, sweeten to taste, and let it
cook three minutes. Remove from the
fire, and line a pudding dish with it,
and fill up the center with some pared
and cored apples, which have been
steamed soft in sugar and water, with
the juice and grated peel of one lemon.
Fill up the cores of the apples with apple
jelly. Beat the whites of the eggs to
) iff froth, and put them over the apples
and rice, scatter sugar over them, and
brown for a few minutes in the oven.
Serve with whipped cream sauce.-TAe

Take Care OF the Flesh.

Every pOluu OF ueSQ Wnlc0 mas aCCu-
mulated on the steers in the pasture for
the pat eight raon hs is valuable. No
IN IN, r ch or poor, can afford to let that
flesh aud fat go to support the body
amid the cold winds of winter Though
it may cost much to keep them growing
and improving yet no other course will
pay. Those who have taken steers to
feed to be paid a certain amount for
each pound of increase, will find winter
feeding easily, especially with dear and
shrunken corn. And yet they should be
pushed. 1t is not merely the value of
The pounds put on, but each pound
added, increases the value per pound of
the entire steer. With good, warm, and
comfortable quarters, there can be
considerable certainty as to the in
crease which can be added to each
-teer. or at least the aver 'ge of a lot.
There is, however, con siderable diff
ference in the increase, with the ap-
pearances all similar. This was we'll
Illustrated by experiments made BY the
Illinois Industrial University. They
turned eight steers of apparent uniform
health "n the best pasture on the 1st of
last May. Most OF them, says the Ga
zette, were fourteen or fifteen months
old then-one was older, and one a calf
in rather high flesh, the others in good
>tore Condition They were on good
pustu durinr the summer, and were
weighed again November I'd, six months
ia er. They ranged in weight from 735
pounds to 1895 pounds. The gains
during the six months were 245, 255,
2'O, 21O, go, 29O, 365 and $50 pounds.
Tue second largest gain was made by
,he eldest steer;. the second smallest by
the youngest. But the largest and
mailest e Iins we're by two steers of
about the same age, aud with nothing
to indicate that one would probably do
be ter than the other. The average gain
was 295 pounds each; the average
weight being almost exactly 900 pounds.
A monthly gain of over 60 pounds dur
ing the season is quite satisfactory; the
average in this case was 49 pounds. The
variations we'll illustrate the danger of
untrustworthy results where trials are
made with single animals.
rnis shows at the best time of year
and under most favorable circumstances
q gain of one and third pounds per
day. In cold and di>agreeable weather
il could be easily reduced to one pound
per day; or with poor care even with
extravagant feeding the increase may
be reduced tn zero. These are subjects
Tor consideration by those who take
steers to iced, or those whe are feeding
their own corn to their own steers. If
a steer eats peck of corn and thirty
pounds of hay, and gains one pound of
lie q, n man may approximate the cost
of each pound of increa.e. Several
have inquired of US what they can afford
to feed steers for per pound. 1t i, easy
to figure it out, the amount and cost of
food per day, the cost of care and feed
ing, and the reasonably probable in
crease per day.-Io,0a State Register.

DIR. Vincent's Lecture.

DR.. Vincent's discourse, Among the
Heights" delivered in the Methodist
Church Lecture Course, last week, was q
rich intellectual entertainment. No de-
scription we could give would do it justice.
Its plan was original in conception, the
thought elaborated and expressed to meet
the most critical taste, and its delivery was
characteristic of DR.. Vincent's oratory, and
lacked no element of effectiveness. A
good deal of traveller, he has not been
idle or unobservant, and what he has seen
and retained is not in the same line with
the hackneyed repetitions Of commonplace
minds Everything he tells us or touches
upon has the freshness of new picture,
and his observations, comparisons and illus
trations are those Of vigorous, philosophic,
but also of reverent and poetic mind.
Beginning with the Sierras in California,
he gave us vivid and graphic views of Ma
ture in high attitudes as he had been i'm
pressed by them in this country and in
Europe, taking US across the continents to
Palestine before he had done, and coming
back TO his starting point among the Neva-
das Of the Pacific. He described mountains
great watch towers which lit their
heads into the sky the beginning and
end of all natural scenery; and as they diff
fer one from another in glory, so few men,
or perhaps a single one in an age, stands
like a solitary peak above the common
range.
Moses and Michael Angelo, Calvin and
Luther, were not copyists, but creative in
ambition and purpose they lowered far
above their age and race, and left an i'm
press upon succeeding centuries that causes
their names to stand out boldly, and their
influence still to be felt though other mil
lions have perished and faded into oblivion.
But just as all human endeavor falls below
its standard, so no mans work fully repre-
sents himself. His ideal is not perfectly
attained. The Cathedral of St Peters is
the most perfect example of loftiness and
grandeur, of harmony and beauty of proper
tion and of decoration ever expressed in
architectural art; but Michael Angelo,
poet, artist, sculptor and architect, the
creation of whose magnificent mind and
the exponent of whose faultless taste it is,
was nobler even than his work.
Calm and sunshine do not distinguish
the atmosphere Of the highest mountain
peaks. The grandest examples of men
the great, the good, the most useful-have
not been always the merriest or the hap
piest ones. Superior natures bear great
burdens; do not live unto themselves; are
familiar with toll and acquainted with
grief. Christ, the Man of Sorrows, superior
and above all, the great central figure of
the creation, represents the highest ideal
of character
"As man he suffered and as God he taught"
Quoting from their own writers, his enc
mics themselves being the judges" his
name was exalted above all glorious names.
I" Star unto star speaks light, and world to world
Repeats the passage Of the universe
To God; the name of Christ-the one great
word given
Well worth all languages in earth or heaven.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Necessitating a Surgical Operation-Lov-
ing Mother Attempts to Take n Pair
of Shears from Her Child.
PARENTS BE CAREFUL.

Domestic accidents are common to women,
and some ef them are very serious Mrs. War
ner, of South Rondout, Ulster Co, N. some
weeks ago attempted to take from her child
a pair of shears with which it was playing. A
slight struggle ensued, in which the point OF
the shears entered Mrs Warmers left ,en-
tirely destroying the sight. Her family ply.
sician did what he could, but intensely pain
full Inflammation arose, which, by sympathy,
threatened the loss of the other eye. Tot,l
blindness to q woman haying the care OF
house hold is an irretrievabIe calamity. Iu
this strait Mrs W. applied to the well known
and skillful surgeon, DIR. David Kennedy,
of Rondout, N. Y, who removed the injured
eye by very successful operation, setting
aside all danger of further harm to the sight
of the other eye. But, owing to pain and
mental distress, her 8. stem needed a mic
and restorative medicine. To do this work
the doctor prescribed "Kenredy's Fsvorite
Remedy" which sustained its reputation and
laid a sure foundation of health.

all impurities from the blood, regulates the
liver snd kidneys. Cures constipation, aud
all diseases and weaknesses peculiar to fe-

Frank Davidson.

Frank Davidson, who gave an entertain
ment, Friday evening, in the Congrega-
tional Church for the benefit of the Sunday
School Fund, was very accomplished hu-
morist. He led US to infer, at the begin
ming, that on account of the sacredness of
the place the exercises would be character
lied by due solemnity, and then, without
anything sacrilegious, or jest that smacked
of coarseness, he played and sang songs
that were pathetic, or that told sorae tale
involving the representation OF different
characters, like that of the rich old Squire
of seventy who courted ''Marier'' of seven
teen, girl who loved "Josiar," a young
suitor, but prOfessed attachment and was
married to the Squire. She loved his gold,
and when he conveniently did expire" she
joyfully welded "Josiar." He recited the
chapter from Nicholas Nickleby in which
the schoolmaster, Squeers, attempts to fog
little Smike. Nicholas interferes, thrashes
Squeers, and walks away. The astonish-
ment and delight Of the inn-keeper who
asks Nickleby and finds out what he has
done and why he left the school was one of
the richest things of the evening. Every
one enjoyed the fact of Squeers being mas
tered. The scenes in the experience of
Darius Green, who constructed flying
machine and took one Fourth of July, when
his brothers had gone to the celebration, to
try it, and was suspected, watched and seen
by them in his inglorious experiment, was
irrisistibly comic and thoroughly well done.
Then the song and illustration of the young
amateur practicing her music lesson was so
like what everyone has seen that it was q
cyclopedia of all the bad habits and ludi-
crous peculisrities that music scholars have
ever perpetrated. If any of the audience
went there with
"a February face
Full Of frost, OF storm and eloudiness,
it was soon transformed and "red with
mirth." The soberest could not resist.
Burdette's simple story of George Wash
ingtoa, as related by young man who was
sure he knew how TO interest children and
instruct them at the same time, and who
suspected himself of having any amount of
superior talent and patience in that line,

staying at home with sfive-year-old dar-
ling Of mother who had gone out shop
