One morning many years ago Mr..
H, who happened at the time to
be Magistrate and Collector OF the
Etawah district, was out riding, accom-.
panied by q couple of sowars or mount
ed orderiies. They were pushing over
a portion of the road that lay in the
vicinity of the river Jamma, when two
half-grown wolf cubs crossed their path;
and following them more slowly came
very remarkable looking creature
which scambled along on all fours in
an extraordinarily uncouth fashion,
This turned out to be wolf-child.
Letting the other two go unmolested,
the three men proceeded to hunt down
the human cub, and succeeded in bring
ing it to bay. As they wished to take
the creature alive, and were altogether
unwilling to hurt it in any way, they
found their greatest difficulty in at
tempting to secure it, for it fought, bit
and clawed with extreme fierceness
and pertinacity; indeed, having
driven it into q corner, Mr.. H and
one of the sowars had to mount guard,
while the other natives proceeded to
the nearest village and got stout
blanket for the purpose of throwing it
over its head; and it was by this means
that the capture was effected. All the
way home the wolf-child behaved like
mad thing. 1t was, however, taken to
Mr.. H-'s house, but it would not be
comforted, and for longtime refused
all kinds of food, including raw meat.
The creature was boy of about 9 years
of age, and he may be here stated that
no female wolf-child has ever been
heard of or seen. 1t is not easy to as
sign sufficient reason for the fact that
females have never been disceverd unless
we suppose that, being unable to with
stand the terrible hardships of such
an existence, they have very soon sick
ened and died.

Points on Pumpkin Pie.

"What is the matter with the pump
kin nowadays?" said gentleman the
other day. Il never see, and certainly
never eat, any more such golden, lus-
cious pies rs my mother used to make"
After making due allowance for the
change in the individual from boyhood
to manhood, the fact remains that there
is decline in pumpkin pies. A searcher
after the reasons for it declares one to
be that too many spices are now used,
entirely Disgusting the flavor of the
pumpkin, which, if properly cooked and
of good quality, is delicate and agree
able Ginger seems to be the only le-
gitimate seasoning for pumpkin pie,
but faint suspicion of allspice or of
cinnamon is allowable. Then, too, in
stead of seasoning with sugar alone, at
least half of the sweetness of the pie
should be due to molasses. For one
medium-sized pie allow one full coffee
cup of stewed pumpkin poured through
the kitchen sieve" after the manner of
Sydney Smiths salad. If rich in eggs,
allow two or three; if not, make three
eggs do duty for two pies. dividing after
beating. If the milk used to thin the
pumpkin is half cream so much the bet
ter. A teaspoonful of ginger is liberal
allowance for one pie. Bake with an
under crust only, and until the top of
the pie is brown and n delicate skin has
formed over it for removing which
many child has passed under the rod).

GREAT MEMS WHIMS.
Some Incidents of Douglas JerroId and
Leigh Hunt.

Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey and
Leigh Hunt were each six feet high,
though Coleridge was much bent.
Leigh Hunt had gray hair parted in the
middle, growing low and giving an idea
of a lack of intellectual power. His
voice was peculiarly soft; he sang
lively song, and accompanied himself
on the piano or seraphine with much
grace and sweetness; was fond of puns,
and abounded in anecdotes, refined
jokes, witticisms, raillery and peculiari-
ties of celebrated men, celebrated
mountains and celebrated mice. His
talk was happily spiced with quotations,
which he often travestied. Hunt had a
pension of -, 200 year-half of it from
the Government.
Douglas Jerrold / met only few
times. He was coarse and unscrupu-
lous joker, sometimes sacrificing his
friends to his fun. After Tom Moore
died of softening of the brain Coleridge,
Jerrold and others feared they were
destined to the same calamity. Jer-
rolds friends sent him down to Bright
on to recover. There, as the story
went, Browning's "Soldello" fell into
his hands. He read paragraph,
passed his hand across his brow and
sighed. He read page, pressed his
throbbing temples and groaned. He
read two pages, rose and wrung his
hands and cried out, alas! Ny brain
has softened My mind is gone!" Pres
emily his sister came in. He handed
her the book and watched her. What
nonsense is this?' asked she as she
read. "Incomprehensible stuff" AHA!
Thank God, L am not an idiot" shout
ed Jerrold, rushing and clasping her
hands with JOY.
Elizabeth Barrett, as recollect her,
had a small delicate figure, and her fine
face was framed in abundant dark curls.
She had large, expressive eyes, mobile
mouth and a delightful smile. They
say that she and Browning wrote all
their love letters in Greek. Leigh
Hunt called her "the sister of Tenny-
SON." l thought her rather the daugh-
ter of Shakespeare.

Process or Making Sorghum Sugar.

Much progress has recently been
made in the separation and crystalliza-
tion of the sugar of the sorghum plant.
The following are the principal points
to be observed: The juice from the
mill is placed in copper vessels and
heated to 175 degrees, F., when success
sive quantities of milk of lime are add
ed, and stirred in until litmus paper is
tinged purple. The juice is boiled and
the black scum removed until the liquid
becomes clear. CO is an important mat
ter of experience to know the amount
of lime to be added). The clear juice
is drawn from the defacator into the
evaporating pan, when sulphuric acid is
cautiously added, and stirred in until
blue litmus paper dipped into it, is red
dened. The evaporation is continued
until the desired density is reached
when the syrup is placed in warm
room to crystalize. Professor Henry,
of Wisconsin University, who has made
valuable experiments with amber cane,
gives the following preliminary rules :
"Do not cut the cane until the seeds be-
gin to harden. Do not allow the cane
to stand stripped in the field, but work
it up as soon as possible after beng
cut. Defecate the juice as soon as pos
sible after leaving the mill. l."-Ameri-
can Agricultttrist.
